108: Chapter 108 Ancestor, Awakening the Light ElementLuffy wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his heart filled with endless frustration and confusion.He muttered to himself, "Am I not the protagonist?In other novels, which protagonist doesn't have a smooth journey, easily defeating any enemy they encounter?Even if they can't win, someone always comes to their aid at crucial moments!Why is it that when it comes to me, I always encounter opponents much stronger than myself?Not only can I not beat them, but I don't even have anyone to save me.This is just too unfair!"
Now that he had regained his strength, Orsfeld, enduring the discomfort caused by the burning of his soul, raised his hand, and the Dark Domain unfolded once more.This time, Luffy clearly felt that the six elements within him were being suppressed more severely than ever before.
Orsfeld then raised his hand again, and in an instant, countless sharp blades, oblivious to the darkness, appeared above the palace.He stared at Luffy, his eyes flashing with chilling killing intent, and coldly said, "Boy, to die by my hand is your greatest honor.Cherish this last moment of your life!"
As Orsfeld finished speaking, countless dark blades rained down on Luffy.Luffy's eyes widened as he desperately mustered all his strength to defend himself, but faced with such a powerful attack, he felt overwhelmed.Faced with such a perilous situation, how could Luffy simply sit and wait to die?He unleashed his Observation Haki to its fullest extent, weaving and dodging through the dense, storm-like rain of dark blades, constantly creating a shield of frozen earth to defend against the attacks.However, due to the suppression of the Dark Domain, the frozen earth shield crumbled after only one blow.Seeing that his elemental power was useless, Luffy gritted his teeth, instantly covering his fist with Armament Haki, his body radiating heat, and unleashed a powerful blow, shattering the countless dark blades!
But many more dark blades bypassed his attacks, leaving gruesome wounds on Luffy's body.When this round of attacks finally ended, Luffy was panting heavily, kneeling on the ground, blood still seeping from his wounds.
"Kid, where did your momentum go?Where did your smugness go?Why aren't you using that elemental domain anymore?" Orsphyg looked at the battered Luffy with a mocking smile and said with a cold laugh.At the same time, dark element gathered in his hand again.Taking advantage of Luffy's weakness, Orsphyg knew the "Sword of Darkness." Like a sharp blade in the hand of a demon god, it carried endless pressure and destructive aura as it fiercely stabbed towards Luffy!
Luffy's eyes widened, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.He took a deep breath, straining to mobilize the lightning element within him that had been suppressed to the point of near immobility.Instantly, a dazzling crescent-shaped slash materialized before him, seemingly about to tear apart the entire space!
"Thunderous Crescent Slash"
Luffy gritted his teeth, channeling all his strength into the attack, unleashing its terrifying power.The Thunder Crescent Slash shot out like lightning, colliding violently with the Dark Sword!Sparks flew, lightning flashed and thunder roared as the two powerful forces clashed, neither giving an inch!However, the Dark Sword proved superior, easily breaking through the Thunder Crescent Slash's defenses and continuing its relentless thrust towards Luffy.
Just at this critical moment, a melodious voice came from behind Luffy: "Black Hole Devour!" Immediately afterwards, a deep, dark black hole suddenly appeared in front of him, emitting a terrifyingly powerful suction force that tightly bound the Dark Sword, preventing it from advancing any further.
At the same time, Zoro and Sanji shouted, "Demon Aura: Nine-Sword Style: Ashura: Piercing Might!" "Diable Jambe: Fried Assorted Platter!" The two of them unleashed their special moves, launching a final attack on the Dark Sword from the left and right!
Instantly, sword energy crisscrossed, flames soared, and three unparalleled powers intertwined, jointly resisting the terrifying dark sword.With their combined efforts, the dark sword shattered.Just as Orsfield was about to unleash an even more powerful attack to kill the intruder, a lightning-struck dragon roared towards him.Orsfield waved his hand, and a dark shield blocked the dragon's attack."Sixty million volts.Lightning Dragon!Only I, a god, can kill this guy.What are you?" Enel walked slowly towards them, his eyes filled with contempt as he looked at the blocked dragon, his brow slightly furrowed.In this space filled with an unsettling black mist, Enel clearly felt the power of his Rumble-Rumble Fruit greatly diminished.
In contrast, Weiwei's feelings weren't as strong.After all, in terms of the definition of a fruit, the Black Hole Fruit is also considered a type of dark element.It's just that it's suppressed to some extent because its level is lower than Orsfield's.
After recovering slightly, Luffy quickly warned, "Be careful, this is that guy's Dark Domain.In this domain, all elemental power is suppressed."
Enel merely snorted, ignoring Luffy's instructions.He continued manipulating lightning, launching attacks in an attempt to break through the protective barrier.Orthophile looked at the Straw Hat crew with disdain; in his eyes, those without magic were mere ants."So, we just need to use physical attacks, huh?You stinky cook, let's go!Demon Aura - Nine-Sword Style - Ashura - Piercing Might!" Zoro's three heads shouted simultaneously.They had already sensed this ominous aura outside.Zoro knew the enemy they were facing would be formidable, so he immediately unleashed his demon aura, transforming into his Ashura form.Sanji responded impatiently, then unleashed Diable Jambe, exploding out alongside Zoro's Nine-Sword Style.
Under their relentless attacks, the previously intact dark shield began to show signs of damage.Countless cracks appeared.After catching his breath, Luffy stood up again.Chopper had bandaged his wounds, and after successfully stopping the bleeding with his Wood Power, Luffy joined the battle.He transformed into his Nightmare form, opened the Eight Gates, and unleashed a punch with overwhelming force.Under Orsfield's incredulous gaze, the cracked dark shield finally shattered under this blow.
"Not bad, you actually managed to shatter my dark shield.I underestimated you.But do you really think you can defeat me like this?How laughable!" A flicker of surprise crossed Orsphygmo's eyes, followed by disdain.With a powerful inhale, he swallowed all the dark elements surrounding the palace, his body growing larger until it burst through the roof, transforming into a dark giant.Orsphygmo looked at his newfound form with satisfaction, then with a forceful wave of his hand, the entire palace collapsed.The Straw Hat crew was sent flying by the powerful blow, and Robin immediately used her.With her powerful abilities, she wove a vast net to catch everyone.Faced with the invincible Orsfit, the group was momentarily at a loss.Chopper's angelic form emitted light elements that were like candles before Orsfit; with a mere breath, Chopper reverted to his original form.Just as everyone was at a loss, the pendant around Lierst's neck suddenly burst forth with a brilliant light.When the light faded, a kind-faced old man appeared before them.Lierst, upon seeing the suddenly appearing old man, knelt down excitedly: "Lierst, the fifteenth Queen of the Kingdom of Eles, greets Your Excellency."
The old man smiled and nodded, then turned to look at the rampaging Orsfit and sighed, "Hundreds of years ago, we joined forces to seal away two great demon kings.At that time, a prophet foretold that Orsfit would break the seal several hundred years later.So I infused a wisp of my consciousness into this pendant, which will only be activated in the most dangerous situations.As for the other demon king."
The old man remained silent, his gaze falling on Luffy, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.He said softly, "You are indeed the chosen one of the elements.You are truly extraordinary, possessing immense strength.However, if you wish to defeat Orthophile, relying solely on your current six elements is far from sufficient.Now, I will infuse all my power into your body, helping you awaken the element of light.Child, before that, you must remember one thing I say: Do not overly rely on elemental power.Only by perfectly combining them with your own strength can you truly become more powerful."
Although the old man's voice wasn't loud, it seemed to possess an irresistible authority, causing Luffy to tremble involuntarily.He took a deep breath, nodded, and indicated that he understood the old man's teachings.
As the old man finished speaking, a powerful energy surged from his body, sweeping towards Luffy like a torrent.Luffy sensed this powerful energy, closed his eyes, and focused all his energy on guiding it into his body.
As energy surged within him, Luffy's body began to glow brightly, and he sensed something awakening within him.He struggled to control his emotions and remain calm, lest he be overwhelmed by this powerful force.
Gradually, Luffy's body stopped glowing.He slowly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them.He felt his body brimming with power, and he could clearly sense a new elemental force—light—flowing within him.
