139: Chapter 138 Feigned Defeat by MagellanMagellan, his face grim, muttered incantations.Suddenly, several streaks of purple energy emanated from his body, swiftly attacking Luffy and his crew like venomous snakes.Buggy, standing nearby, paled, as if remembering something terrifying.He immediately roared, "Hey, you two!If you don't want to be poisoned to death, get back here right now!This Magellan is a user of the Venom-Venom Fruit!It's said that ordinary people will become weak and unable to breathe just from smelling a little of his purple energy!"
However, Luffy didn't care at all.He simply waved his hand, and a gust of wind howled, scattering all the purple mist drifting towards them.Buggy's words were stuck in his throat; he couldn't say anything, nor could he remain silent.He could only smile awkwardly, then pulled Bon Clay to the back to hide, leaving the battlefield to Luffy.
"As expected, ordinary moves are useless against you." Magellan looked at Luffy, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by coldness.He slowly raised his hand, and countless venomous liquids gushed from it, rushing towards Luffy like a surging tide.
"Watch out, Straw Hat!" Little Feng shouted anxiously from behind, his face full of worry.Luffy turned around and gave him a confident smile, as if to tell him not to worry.
"You know perfectly well that ordinary moves are useless against me, so why are you wasting your energy like this?What a waste of time!Stop dawdling and get to work, I don't have time to waste with you!" Luffy's lips curled up into a disdainful smile, and at the same time, he swiftly swung his right arm, unleashing a powerful burst of cold air that instantly froze the venom rushing towards him into solid ice.
Seeing that his attacks had no effect on Luffy, Magellan was startled.He realized he had severely underestimated the young man's strength."Don't be so arrogant!Brat, don't think you can act so cocky in front of me just because you have some skills!"
Magellan's eyes widened in fury as he roared through gritted teeth.His entire body trembled, unleashing three enormous, dragon-shaped streams of deadly poison from within him, each emanating a terrifying, suffocating aura.Simultaneously, his body was enveloped in layers of venom, as if clad in an indestructible armor of deadly poison.
Magellan roared and led his three venomous dragons, charging towards Luffy at incredible speed like a burning poison bomb.He was determined to kill Luffy today; he couldn't let him escape and bring even greater disaster to the world.
The roars spewed from the three venomous dragons were like thunderbolts, almost shattering eardrums!Under Magellan's control, they charged towards Luffy like a ferocious black whirlwind.At the same time, Magellan gathered a massive amount of deadly poison into his fist, as if to turn the entire world black!He was convinced this attack would strike Luffy, leaving him nowhere to escape!
Faced with such a fierce attack, Luffy knew he couldn't easily withstand it head-on.Countless shimmering elements surged forth from his body, intertwining and merging to gradually form a huge and sturdy shield of light, like an indestructible wall, tightly protecting Luffy within it.
The three venomous dragons and Magellan's poisonous fists rained down on the shield of light like a storm.Under this breathtaking attack, the shield began to tremble violently, emitting a crisp "crackling" sound.Fine cracks gradually appeared on the surface of the shield, as if it would collapse at any moment!However, despite enduring immense pressure, the shield stubbornly held fast to its mission.
However, the purple poisonous mist began to slowly seep into the shield along the cracks.Magellan, seeing this, was secretly delighted and immediately increased the intensity of his attack.As his power increased, the cracks in the shield became more numerous and larger, and the infiltrating poisonous mist grew increasingly concentrated.As the poisonous mist gradually eroded the shield, Luffy's situation seemed to become perilous, but in reality, Luffy was also considering whether to withstand Magellan's attack.
The poisonous mist appeared to have entered the shield, but that wasn't the case.A mysterious dark shield existed around Luffy's body, and when the poisonous mist touched it, it was slowly absorbed.This dark shield was like a bottomless pit, continuously swallowing the poisonous mist, allowing Luffy to temporarily withstand Magellan's powerful poison attacks.
"So should I take Magellan's attack or not?Although I'm protected by the wood element and not afraid of poison, this feeling is awful.But if I don't take it, where am I supposed to find Floor 5.5 and Ivankov?" Luffy thought to himself.He only knew that Floor 5.5 was located between Floor 5 and Floor 6, but he didn't know how to find that impossible path."Hahaha, Straw Hat, stop trying to hold on.I advise you to just surrender!" Magellan looked at Luffy, who was swaying inside the shield, and let out a triumphant laugh.
At this moment, Luffy was gritting his teeth, desperately maintaining his disguise, seemingly reaching his limit.However, at this crucial moment, the system's voice rang in his mind, "Actually, the host doesn't need to worry about these things.The host can pretend to take this attack.As for the effects of the poison, the system will naturally take care of that for you." The system's words were like a ray of dawn, illuminating Luffy's doubts and worries.
Hearing the system's words, a huge weight was lifted from Luffy's heart.He took a deep breath and resolutely withdrew the support of the Light Shield.In that instant,The surging venom rushed towards him like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, but in the last second before he was engulfed by the venom, a powerful dark shield quickly enveloped his entire body.
After the venom was applied, Luffy collapsed, "pale and in pain," as if he had suffered immense torment.His body trembled slightly, and his breathing became rapid and weak.However, all of this was merely an act; thanks to the system's assistance, he was not actually harmed by the venom.
Seeing Luffy's utterly helpless state, Magellan felt a surge of contempt and arrogance.He believed he had completely defeated the one known as the strongest of the Supernovas, and thus lowered his guard.Little did he know, this was precisely a trap set by Luffy.
