Bang bang bang bang!
The Armament Haki on Luffy's body crackled as he was hit, but before Mihawk's two swords could even touch him, he was already fully recovered.
"How can this guy recover so quickly?! What kind of magic is this?"
Mihawk was fighting in a frustrating way for the first time. This guy was even more troublesome than Kizaru's light speed. He didn't even need to teleport; he could just zip behind him. Even if he sensed it beforehand with Observation Haki, his movements were too fast to keep up with!
What was even stranger, the two slashes that landed on Luffy's body clearly hit bone! However, in less than a second, the guy was back up again! Not even a scar was left, who would believe it!
Thump thump thump thump!
Luffy swung punches at Mihawk's face, sending him flying.
Mihawk's face darkened, and he took a deep breath. "Young man, I admit your ability is quite extraordinary, but how many times can you use that strange move?"
Mihawk thought that the weird, invisible ability must be extremely draining for Luffy.
But Luffy spread his hands. "To be honest, this ability of mine is innate, it doesn't take any effort at all... So I can use it infinitely!"
Mihawk: (≧mouth≦)!!!
"Infinitely?! How can I, Hawkeye, fight like this! This is too weird, is this your confidence? It's something incredible!"
Mihawk's expression actually became extremely excited, clearly showing interest in Luffy. It seemed this guy really did have the strength to duel with him!
What a strange man.
Luffy sighed. "So, do you want to join our Zero Squad?"
"Heh, talk to me after you beat me!"
Mihawk didn't like to talk much, he just wanted to have a good, clean fight!
"So, the final move is coming!"
(^▽^) Yao!!!!
"Dark Night? Supreme Slash!"
Huh? He only knows how to slash? In that case, I'll get serious!
"No dodging, no avoiding? Armored Demon Serpent!"
As the name implies, Luffy didn't dodge at all. His Lightning-Cloud Fruit ability was maxed out, facing the attack head-on, punching with all his might! He wouldn't stop until Mihawk bled!
Clang! Clang!
The fierce slashes came in a torrent, and most of the fist shadows were cut off.
With a sound of Chii—.
Blood spurted from his ribs, a large piece of flesh was actually sliced off.
One attack, and he was seriously wounded!
"Hey! What did you do to my man!!!"
Nami below was instantly anxious, gritting her teeth and wanting to transform into a Lei Yun to blast Mihawk.
At the crucial moment, Nojiko was clever and caught her. "Nami, don't be impulsive, don't cause trouble for Luffy."
Ah, these two kids are really worth loving! Luffy thought. One wants to protect her husband, the other is gentle and obedient.
However, in the current situation, they couldn't help at all.
"Is this all you've got?" Luffy's wound instantly healed in the sky, even his torn clothes went back to normal. While Mihawk had taken more than thirty punches and was in a terrible state.
"If this is all you've got... then with the next punch, I'll make you bleed!"
Rumble—Demon Serpent Thunder Prison!
The counterattack began. Luffy used his Lightning-Cloud Fruit ability for the first time. Dazzling purple lightning wrapped around his arms, charging crazily toward Mihawk. Its power was several times stronger than regular lightning, even before it got close, Mihawk felt a bone-piercing chill.
In the blink of an eye, lightning and fist shadows attacked like a fierce storm.
Rumble!
The fist shadows completely swallowed Mihawk. Under the powerful attack, the sea trembled. The sound of thunder and impact spread for dozens of miles.
"Is that... is that a natural disaster?"
A Marine warship happened to be passing by, and countless Marines stood near the ship's railing, too shocked to speak.
"Fists with lightning?"
A red-haired woman in a red dress and a Marine coat looked incredibly shocked. "The one using the sword is Hawkeye, so the one fighting him is... who?"
How could such a powerful individual, capable of suppressing Hawkeye, appear in the East Blue?
"Tina is curious, steer the ship closer!" Tina felt more and more suspicious the more she thought about it, and immediately ordered the Marines to approach.
The Marines looked at each other. 'Boss, you're not kidding, are you? At this level of combat, wouldn't we just die?'
At this moment, outside the restaurant, Mihawk, who was unusually disheveled, looked at Luffy, who had returned to his Gear Four form, and asked, gasping for breath, "So, are you a cockroach that can't be killed?"
"That's right. At least you can't do anything to me."
Luffy stood straight in front of Mihawk after returning to normal, there was a trace of blood at Mihawk's mouth, and a smile on his face. If I say I'll make you bleed, you have to bleed, otherwise it's disrespectful to 'the mighty Luffy'!
Seeing Luffy who was still relaxed, Mihawk's mind was already numb, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "This ability is too terrifying, Monkey D. Luffy. You don't even need combat skills, this ability alone can get you to the level of an Admiral and a Four Emperor!"
Mihawk was right, at least when he dueled with Red-Haired, the latter had never made him feel so helpless. It was as if all his power was hitting cotton, unable to harm the opponent at all, only able to passively take a beating! If it were a fight to the death, the opponent could easily take his life just by exhausting him for two days and two nights!
Besides, under the opponent's terrifying instant movement... He wouldn't even have a chance to escape!
