One Piece: Space-Space Fruit, Joining the Rocks Crew

Thinking of this, Luo Tian took a deep breath.

At the other end of the deck, Lockes seemed to sense something and glanced over.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

Lockes did not speak, but simply nodded slightly.

Luo Tian used his spatial leap to instantly appear next to Shiki the Golden Lion.

"Huh?! What brings you here, kid?" Shiki glanced sideways, but his gaze remained fixed on Zephyr.

On the warship, Zefa's expression suddenly turned serious.

Trouble.

In a one-on-one fight, he was not afraid of the Golden Lion and was confident that he could suppress Luo Tian.

After all, judging from the intelligence, although this kid's Devil Fruit ability is strange, his physical strength is still far from top-tier.

But what if you have to deal with two people at the same time...?

Luo Tian grinned: "Shiki! Leave Zephyr to me! You go and steal the Heavenly Gold!"

What?!

Shiki was taken aback, then his eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Yes! As long as you touch the treasure ship, your Float-Float Fruit ability will allow you to float it away.

Even if naval reinforcements arrive by then, it will be difficult to recover them.

Luo Tian's act of stalling Zefa was precisely creating an opportunity for himself!

Luo Tian can also use spatial buoyancy, so why doesn't he go and snatch the heavenly gold himself?

On the one hand, he felt that his application of buoyancy was not as sophisticated as Shiki's.

After all, spatial buoyancy is just one branch of the many abilities of the Space-Space Fruit.

On the other hand, stealing is nothing compared to the thrill of fighting.

"Understood!" Shiki nodded emphatically, no longer hesitating.

Unleashing the full power of the Float-Float Fruit, his figure transformed into a golden streak of light, hurtling towards the distant treasure ship like a meteor.

"Don't even think about it—!!"

Zefa's expression changed drastically.

If the gold in the sky is seized, not only will the encirclement and suppression plan fail completely, but the dignity of the navy will also be swept away.

Even more terrifying is that the Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land will never let this go, and the Marine Headquarters will face unimaginable pressure.

We must not let the pirates succeed!

Zephyr stepped on the moon and shot out like a cannonball, biting down hard on Shiki in the air.

Armament Haki hardened his Iron Arm once more, and even if he used "Iron Body: Empty Wood" to withstand Shiki's slash, he would still stop the opponent.

However, at the very moment he took off—

"Spatial confinement!"

The next moment, Zefa's charging figure seemed to sink into a quagmire.

"What?!"

A flash of shock and anger crossed Zefa's eyes.

He unleashed his full power, his muscles bulging, trying to break free from this invisible constraint.

But every time he tried to exert force, it was like punching cotton.

Luo Tian drew his supreme greatsword "Black Dragon" and swung it down with his right hand.

"Slice the Waves - Heaven's Fall!"

The blade's energy wasn't a straight line; instead, it curved and accelerated like a living thing under the control of gravity, its trajectory so unpredictable that it was impossible to anticipate.

Zefa's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhead.

There's no escaping it.

Then-

"Black Arm - Absolute Defense!"

Zephyr contracted his Haki, forming a flowing Haki armor on his body.

At the same time, he crossed his fists in front of his chest, his muscles taut to the limit.

He chose to tough it out.

boom--!!!

The blade struck.

A blinding white light exploded where Zephyr was located, and the shockwave spread out in a spherical shape, shattering the mainmast of the warship and tearing the deck off inch by inch.

The marines' screams were drowned out by the sound of the explosion.

"Lieutenant General Zephyr—!"

"Impossible... How could Lieutenant General Zephyr..."

"Shut up!" a blood-soaked naval admiral roared, slashing down an oncoming pirate with a single blow.

"Vice Admiral Zephyr will not be defeated by pirates! All troops, fight to the death! Sacrifice yourselves for justice!"

"Fight to the death—!!"

Grief and anger transformed into power, and the Navy unleashed astonishing combat strength, engaging in even more brutal battles with the pirates.

On the other side, the battlefield between the Warring States and the Whitebeard had raged to the point that the heavens and earth seemed to change color.

The white-bearded man slightly bent one knee and made a grasping motion in the air with his right palm. In his palm, a semi-transparent, vibrating sphere of light rapidly spun and expanded.

With his Observation Haki fully activated, he locked onto the golden giant Buddha that had suddenly appeared a hundred meters away.

Sengoku also pushed his Devil Fruit abilities to their limits.

The 15-meter-tall golden Buddha statue expanded again, reaching a height of 25 meters.

The energy shockwave in the Buddha's palm no longer radiated outwards, but instead contracted inwards like a black hole.

Both were preparing for their next move, which would determine the victor.

"Great Buddha - Profound Technique - Pure Land Soul-Suppressing Palm!"

"Trembling Power - Ultimate Technique - Shattering Heaven and Earth!!"

Simultaneous outbreak.

The golden Buddha's palm was extended, and the palm print detached from the body, transforming into a tangible, hundred-meter-long giant palm.

The white-bearded man unleashed a punch that shattered space like a mirror.

Whoosh—Boom!

A perfectly spherical depression with a diameter of 300 meters appeared on the sea surface.

The seawater at the concave edge rises like a wall, forming a hemispherical water wall.

Inside the water wall, two figures stood proudly.

……

the other side.

Zephyr had just emerged from the smoke and dust of the explosion when he saw Shiki the Golden Lion approaching within a hundred meters of the treasure ship. Just as he was about to rush over to stop him...

Luo Tian teleported and blocked the way.

"Get out of here—!!"

Zephyr roared and unleashed the strongest blow of his life with his iron fist.

This punch was unrestrained; Armament Haki, the Six Styles of martial arts, and the physical strength honed over a decade were all concentrated into a single point.

Where the fist strikes, the air is compressed into a solid state, forming a cone-shaped vacuum channel.

Luo Tian remained expressionless, raising his right hand with his fingers slightly spread.

"Shinra Tensei—"

Just as Zephyr's iron fist was about to strike Luo Tian's face—

The air freezes.

No, the entire space within three feet of Luo Tian's body was transformed into an absolute forbidden zone.

An invisible protective barrier suddenly unfolded like an inverted bowl.

Zefa's iron fist was only three inches away from Luo Tian's nose, but it could not advance any further.

hum! ! !

The next instant, the invisible energy shield suddenly erupted with a terrifying repulsive force.

"What?!"

Zefa didn't have time to react—no, he was completely unable to react.

Even if Observation Haki had already warned of danger, it was meaningless in the face of the body's repulsion at the spatial level.

One moment the fist was just three inches in front of Luo Tian, ​​the next he had been sent flying a hundred meters away!

"puff--!"

Blood spurted from Zefa's mouth, leaving a mournful trail in the air.

It felt as if his chest had been struck by an invisible, massive hammer. If it weren't for his domineering aura protecting him, this blow would have been enough to severely injure him!

“Cough… cough…”

He forcibly twisted his body in mid-air, and Moonwalk exploded with seven sonic booms under his feet, barely managing to stabilize his backward flight.

"It can deflect all external forces..."

Zefa raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes as serious as iron.

Luo Tian didn't give Zefa much time to think. He lightly touched the ground with his feet and approached like a ghost.

There were no afterimages, no sonic booms, only an eerie feeling of space being pulled closer.

The blade flashed like a crescent moon, aimed straight for Zefa's throat!

But Zephyr is ultimately a top-tier naval combatant with extensive experience in many battles.

At the critical moment, the pitch-black iron fist struck out as predicted, hitting the side of the blade precisely.

Instead of taking the blade head-on, you deflect the slash's trajectory!

Immediately afterwards, the fists rained down like a storm!

"Six Styles Secret Technique: Hundred Fists in Chaos!"

This is a unique martial arts technique created by Zephyr by perfectly combining the speed of the Six Styles "Shave", the penetration of "Finger Pistol", the sharpness of "Storm Kick", and the hardness of "Iron Block".

The dark shadows of fists came like a torrential downpour from all directions.

Each punch was powerful enough to shatter a steel warship.
