Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

Luffy's eyes sank, his legs retracted, and he pushed off the ground violently again, arching his arms and his wrists folded up like springs.

"Rubber Ape King Crow Cannon!!"

The two fists were like grenades under the wings, erupting suddenly at an extremely fast speed, and the fists burst out intensively with power and speed!

"Paper painting!"

Faced with the torrential attack, Zefa immediately chose the most suitable paper painting to deal with it.

As violent air currents blew past, his body swayed like a leaf in the wind, constantly dodging them.

However, although the body can dodge, the bulky mechanical arm cannot. The weapon specially developed to restrain the ability users has now become a burden to Zefa.

boom!

When a fist hit the crusher, Zefa's body lost its flexibility, and then a series of heavy punches fell!

boom! boom! boom!

"Iron block, hard!"

At the critical moment, Zefa changed his tactics in time and gritted his teeth to resist. His feet plowed two grooves in the red earth, and his body was hit back repeatedly.

Until Luffy had exhausted all his strength, Zephyr endured the severe pain all over his body and swung his feet to sweep out dense wind sickles.

"Lanjiao·Chaos!"

A large amount of sharp green light flew straight up, forcing Luffy to dodge and stop chasing. Only then did Zephyr's body sank and he took a few quick breaths.

Then he stomped his feet continuously, using the Moon Step to climb into the air, and the muzzle of his right arm condensed energy to shoot out several laser cannons.

"Aerial combat?"

Luffy dodged the lasers several times, looked at Zephyr in the air with burning eyes, and said with a smile: "I specially developed a flying move."

As he said this, he retracted his legs into his body, leaving only half of his thighs. A rapid impact erupted from below, pushing Luffy's body into the sky like a jet.

"Rubber Lion Bazooka!!"

"Crushing Blow!!"

boom! !

boom! !

The two men fought back and forth in the air with fists and kicks, but Luffy clearly suppressed Zephyr.

In the past two years, Luffy has grown much stronger than before.

Reiner was relieved to think that it should be easy for Luffy to beat the Biscuit Man now.

Everyone knows that Zephyr is the chief instructor of the navy, but how many people still remember that he is also a strong man who relied on physical skills to fight his way to the position of admiral step by step?

Reiner would not underestimate this man.

Perhaps the tragic experience has worn down his will, making his domineering power no longer as strong as before, but.

How far can a general retreat go?

Relying on Ein's ability to borrow back some of his peak physical strength, he was still suppressed by Gear Fourth Luffy. It can only be said that Luffy's growth in the past two years is much stronger than before.

"Maybe we can really start planning to attack the throne of the sea emperor."

Reiner raised the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but feel a little more hopeful. The scene of Ga'a Long Yaozi in the East China Sea was still vivid in his mind.

Now they have finally reached this step.

They are so powerful just after entering the New World. Except for the Emperor of the Sea, other pirate forces can hardly threaten them.

In the field, the fierce fight between Luffy and Zephyr is still going on.

"Rubber Rhino Cannon!!"

Luffy was looking down from above, he pulled his feet tightly into his legs and then kicked out suddenly!

boom! !

Another flash of black lightning exploded, and the heavy foot struck the sturdy mechanical arm with tremendous force.

Zefa fell straight down like an arrow, the cracks on the ground spread like a spider web, and stirred up a cloud of dust.

Da da da! !

A large number of bullets covered in armament color flew out from the thick smoke. Luffy did not choose to take them head-on, but instead evaded them by flying quickly with continuous jets under his feet.

Zefa on the ground turned into a turret, moving his right arm to continuously pour out bullets, chasing the humanoid jet flying across the sky.

"You won't be able to maintain this unbridled consumption of your Haki for long, Straw Hat Boy," Zephyr said with a grin.

He had already guessed about the weaknesses of Gear Fourth, and tried to use long-range moves to wear Luffy down until he exited Gear Fourth mode.

"You saw through me."

Luffy nodded without hesitation.

In order to maintain this state, he needs to cover his body with domineering aura at all times.

A powerful burst comes at the cost of greater consumption. Rayleigh reminded him of this when he learned about the Fourth Gear he developed. Luffy's solution was also very brainless and rough.

"Then I'll use a stronger move and defeat you before I run out of energy."

Luffy's eyes focused, and he concentrated all his strength into his clenched right fist, compressing his arm little by little to accumulate strength.

"Rubber Snake Fist!!"

call out! !

With a loud shout from him, his powerful fist flew out, breaking through the space!

"shave!"

Zefa took quick steps in a very short moment and disappeared from the spot in an instant before the fist arrived.

However, as soon as he appeared on the other side, Luffy glanced over as if he had a premonition.

The fist that had just missed turned at a strange right angle and attacked again without any pause!

"Ok?"

While Zefa was puzzled by this unscientific move, he used [Shave] again without stopping and disappeared on the spot.

However, no matter where he ran, Luffy could always accurately capture his figure, and his extended fist accelerated faster and faster.

Like a deadly red snake, it follows closely, weaving into a dense web throughout the space, constantly approaching its prey.

After using the shaving skill continuously, Zefa finally stopped when he ran out of breath.

boom! !

Before he could catch his breath, the exploding fist instantly hit his chest, piercing through his chest with skin and flesh!

“Puwaa ...

Blood spurted out from Zefa's teeth, staining his pale teeth a hideous scarlet. His figure flew backwards rapidly, hitting the ground and rolling continuously until it hit the volcano wall heavily!

Dust flew and collapsed rocks buried his body.

Luffy fell to the ground, breathing heavily, staring into the thick smoke where there had been no movement for a long time.

Boom!

"Uh!"

Luffy raised his hand and clutched his chest, gritting his teeth, a hint of pain on his face.

The domineering lines covering the body surface slowly faded away, and the gas filling the body also began to dissipate.

The skin, which had been stretched to the extreme by hardening, now began to loosen.

"No, I can't use Haki for five minutes." Luffy's eyelids drooped sleepily, his whole face dejected.

This is a side effect of the fourth gear. When it was first developed, there would be ten minutes of weakness each time it was used.

The strength of the domineering power has increased a bit now, but it has not been completely overcome.

"--call."

Luffy let out a long sigh and sat down on the ground.

"General!"

Zephyr does not have the same overwhelming feeling of oppression that Kizaru and Aokiji gave him two years ago, however.

The general who could chase him two years ago would be able to fight him now if he met him.

Think of this.

Luffy raised the corners of his mouth slightly, spread his limbs, and lay back in a big letter shape.

"Okay Luffy."

Reiner chuckled and walked forward, standing next to Luffy. "By the way, have you trained your Observation Haki to the point where you can predict the future?"

"You're talking about this. I just learned it not long ago."

Luffy bared his big white teeth and smiled: "I'm not proficient enough yet. I need to concentrate all my energy to do it."

"Once you learn something like Haki, you will gradually become proficient in it as you fight."

Reiner glanced at Luffy and paused for a few seconds, "Want to challenge your brother and the others? Wait two days."

"Ace?"

Luffy stared at the sky quietly. He didn't know when a crescent moon had appeared in the sky, and the soft silver light shone on his face.

"Of course I have to challenge them."

"Ace said in Alabasta that we would be enemies next time we meet."

Luffy smiled faintly and said, "He must be impatient to wait."

As soon as we enter the New World, we have to face a pirate group with a total bounty of over 10 billion.

"That's right."

Reiner chuckled knowingly, and turned his gaze to the smoke that was gradually dissipating in the distance. He said, "But before that, let's defeat this one first."

"cough cough"
