128: Chapter 127 Everyone was slapped away"How terrifying!To have such strength at such a young age." Kizaru reformed his body, feigning fear.However, a cunning glint flashed in his eyes.
Just then, Aokiji also attacked without hesitation.His attack was as fierce as a cold wind, clashing violently with the blazing flames unleashed by Luffy.Although Luffy possessed fire elemental power enhanced by his domain, he was ultimately no match for Aokiji's overwhelming strength.The flames gradually died down, and Luffy had to quickly dodge to the side to avoid being frozen into an ice sculpture.
Before Luffy could even catch his breath, Kizaru's beam struck again.This time, Luffy couldn't completely dodge it; his left arm was pierced by the beam, blood splattering everywhere.He endured the excruciating pain, using the power of wood to heal his wound.But Aokiji didn't give him a chance to catch his breath.With a wave of his hand, a giant ice bird swooped down towards Luffy.Everything in its path froze.
Faced with this sudden attack, Luffy gritted his teeth and leaped into the air.His legs, engulfed in flames, slammed into the ice bird like rockets.Under Luffy's full-force attack, the ice bird let out a mournful cry and shattered into countless ice fragments in an instant.
Luffy had barely landed and hadn't even had time to steady himself when Kizaru, sword in hand, charged straight at Luffy's face like lightning.However, Luffy was prepared.A black shield suddenly appeared in front of him—the Shield of Night—and steadily blocked Kizaru's attack.
After a brief exchange, a tense atmosphere filled the battlefield.Luffy stared intently at his enemies, thinking to himself, "These two guys are really tough to deal with." Kizaru and Aokiji exchanged a glance, seemingly communicating something.Clearly, they were about to get serious."Hellhound, Rayleigh, you're getting old, just surrender!" Akainu roared, unleashing a scorching punch.Rayleigh raised his sword to block, while simultaneously keeping an eye on Luffy's situation.He was currently being closely pursued by Akainu and needed to get to Luffy's aid as soon as possible.With this thought, Rayleigh focused all his attention and swung his arms with all his might, trying to deflect Akainu's fist.Then, he quickly turned and sprinted towards Luffy's direction at an astonishing speed.
However, Akainu was clearly not going to let Rayleigh succeed so easily.A cold smile crept across his face, and then countless molten lava fists rained down from the sky like cannonballs.Faced with this sudden attack, Rayleigh had to stop and dodge the descending lava fists.
The lava that had fallen to the ground quickly coalesced into a raging inferno, forming an insurmountable barrier that blocked Rayleigh's path to aid Luffy."Luffy, my dear friend, please hold on!I'm coming to save you!" Rayleigh silently prayed for Luffy.He knew that if the battle here wasn't resolved quickly, Luffy, with his current strength, would likely not be able to hold out for long.
Luffy, who had originally planned to lure the two admirals to Rayleigh's location, was now also blocked by the sea of lava.With the two admirals closing in, and no way to retreat, Luffy had no choice but to make a desperate decision to fight to the death.After entering his Dark Night and Nightmare forms, Luffy unhesitatingly used every method to enhance his strength, decisively transforming his Eight Elemental Domains into the Dark Night Domain.At this moment, he was mentally prepared for a final, all-or-nothing battle.
Sensing the powerful aura emanating from Luffy, the two admirals showed no mercy, unleashing their most powerful attacks.Countless energy blasts, gleaming with a chilling light, rained down upon them.Undeterred, Luffy activated his shield, charging forward against the relentless onslaught.Even as his shield shattered and the fierce attacks pounded into his body, Luffy felt no pain.Just as he was about to reach the two admirals, Luffy suddenly transformed into a wisp of black mist, merging into his domain, and then reappeared behind them with lightning speed.
"Dark Blade," a jet-black blade gleamed coldly in the air, instantly slicing through the two men.Aokiji stood unharmed, but Kizaru's expression was grim, blood trickling from his chest.Ever since Luffy suddenly unleashed his Dark Domain, Kizaru had felt his Glint-Glint Fruit powers being significantly suppressed.That sudden attack had actually caused him a superficial wound.
"What?How is this possible?" Kizaru clutched his chest wound in disbelief, staring wide-eyed at Luffy."My strength far surpasses yours, so why was I injured by you?"
Luffy didn't respond to Kizaru's question.He vanished into the darkness once more.Powered by his Dark Domain, he moved across the battlefield like a ghost, constantly employing guerrilla tactics, causing endless trouble for Kizaru and Aokiji.While this method of attack wasn't particularly damaging, it was a profound insult to these two powerful figures.
Finally, under Luffy's relentless and storm-like attacks, even Aokiji, who was known for his good temper, was enraged!His eyes turned cold, and an incredibly powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body.Then, with a wave of his hands, a dazzling light burst forth.
The light was as cold and piercing as the Northern Lights; wherever it passed, the moisture in the air instantly froze into ice, forming a massive glacier.Luffy, who had been hiding in the shadows, was forced to reveal himself due to this sudden turn of events.
"Hmph!" Luffy snorted coldly, muttering to himself, "Tch, the Dark Night Domain, though."While it can suppress the abilities of Logia-type Devil Fruit users, the effect is still not significant enough against someone as powerful as Aokiji.However…" Thinking this, Luffy's lips curled into a smug smile: "Only Kizaru is a special case.According to Riss, pure dark element can suppress the abilities of all Logia-type users, especially light element.Hehe, no wonder that guy was careless and got injured by me!"
However, at that moment, Luffy suddenly felt a dizzying sensation, and his head felt like it was being stabbed by countless needles, causing excruciating pain.He knew this was a side effect of his berserk state, and the pain was intensifying.If he couldn't get rid of this state in time, he might lose consciousness.
To avoid losing control, Luffy reluctantly deactivated his berserk state.With the berserk state gone, Luffy collapsed to his knees like a punctured balloon, panting heavily.
Meanwhile, their companions, isolated outside, were also suffering terribly.They encountered the powerful Xiong again, and Xiong himself was carrying a giant axe!Already injured, the group was no match for him.Although they managed to defeat Sentomaru together, they could only watch helplessly as Xiong swung his paws, swatting them away one by one.Uta, Vivi, and Nami took one last, reluctant look at the mysterious and unpredictable area before disappearing like kites with broken strings.
Just as Kuma swatted Robin away, a deafening roar followed, and the entire domain suddenly crumbled, sending Luffy flying like a cannonball.He witnessed this breathtaking scene and breathed a sigh of relief; his crewmates were safe.
