Chapter 135But for a pirate with a bounty over a hundred million, no matter how you look at it, there wouldn't be much inflation.This companion of Nico Robin's, even just standing there, emitted a dangerous aura so thick it made people involuntarily tremble.That was an aura belonging to those famous and dangerous great pirates!A bounty of two hundred million was a terrifying thing in itself, and CP9's intelligence naturally knew the truth was different from what was reported in the newspapers; they still knew a lot of inside information.Being able to defeat Crocodile itself represented strength; the Seven Warlords of the Sea were universally recognized as great pirates of these seas.Furthermore, the Marine evaluate pirates based on their danger level; pirates without enough strength couldn't do anything too dangerous, so their bounties wouldn't be very high.In the first half of the Grand Line, the most dangerous ones were only two or three hundred million.The Straw Hat before them had already proven that he was the most dangerous existence in the waters of the first half of the Grand Line.Chapter 195: Haoshoku Clearing the Field"Who are you?" Luffy adjusted his Straw Hat, his gaze calm."Rob Lucci."At the same time, Marine soldiers and World Government personnel, hearing the commotion, swarmed into the carriage, surrounding Luffy and Bally.Lucci said expressionlessly, "I haven't received a mission to capture you, and I have an agreement with Nico Robin. If you leave here quietly, I'll act as if nothing happened."Luffy adjusted his Straw Hat, scanning the CP9 members who looked as if they were facing a great enemy, as well as the nervous Marine soldiers and World Government personnel holding guns behind them. He said casually, "You'll act as if nothing happened? Well, I can't act as if nothing happened."He looked around the jam-packed carriage and frowned:"Besides, there are too many people here; it's a bit crowded."Before his voice could fade.Buzz!Within Luffy's pupils, a crimson light suddenly flared. Inside this narrow carriage, with him as the center, a dark-red torrent erupted like a physical tsunami, surging towards the nearly hundred people around him, instantly sweeping through the entire carriage!Thud!Thud!Thud!Those Marine soldiers and World Governmentofficials didn't even have time to react. They only felt an irresistible pressure striking their souls. Their mouths opened unconsciously, their eyes rolled back, and like wheat being harvested, they collapsed to the ground in heaps, completely unconscious.Conqueror's Haki, clearing the field!Luffy grinned, showing his white teeth. "Now that's much better. At least there's room to fight in the carriage now."In the blink of an eye, within the entire carriage, the only ones still standing were Luffy, Bally, and the six members of CP9.Gulp.Jabra's body trembled uncontrollably. He wiped the cold sweat that had instantly broken out on his forehead, and it took a great effort just to swallow hard. He turned his head stiffly toward his companions. "Are... are you kidding me? What the hell is this? A Devil Fruit ability?"The impact he felt was as if the sky were falling and the earth were rending!This was something he had never experienced before.Sweat from Kalifa's temple ran down her cheek; even her movement of pushing up her glasses was faintly trembling at this moment.Wedge could no longer maintain his comical expression, his face turning solemn.Fukuro held his head in his hands, the zipper on his mouth vibrating.Kaku's pupils shrank to the size of pinpricks, and the face under his hat was instantly covered in cold sweat.Even Lucci, who had remained expressionless, saw his face darken completely. He spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of imperceptible gravity:"Conqueror's Haki!""So this is the power known as the Qualities of a King... it truly lives up to its reputation."Although he couldn't see the specific color of the Haoshoku, he could clearly feel the immense terror hidden within that pressure, enough to make the soul tremble.He never expected that this rookie pirate from the East Blue would actually possess the Qualities of a King, found in only one in a million!The CP9 members finally realized that the Straw Hat before them was different from any enemy they had dealt with in the past.This was a gap in the very essence of their rank!After a moment of suffocating silence, a cold light flashed in Lucci's eyes, and he was the first to launch an attack.He knew that when facing an opponent with Haoshoku, he couldn't hold anything back.Soru!His figure vanished instantly, and when he reappeared, he was right in front of Luffy. His body suddenly expanded, transforming into a nearly three-meter-tall humanoid leopard with bulging muscles!His fists, one high and one low, whistled as they tore through the air, striking directly at Luffy's chest."Secret Technique: Rokuogan!"His first move was his strongest ultimate technique.Before seeing Luffy with his own eyes, Lucci could look down on him with absolute confidence, but after personally feeling the pressure of that Conqueror's Haki, such thoughts vanished completely.He had to go all out and strive to defeat the enemy in one move!Almost at the same time Lucci moved, the other CP9 members moved as well.Kaku's figure flashed, appearing above Luffy, his feet kicking out rapidly like afterimages."Rankyaku!"Countless vacuum slashes, like a sudden rainstorm, covered Luffy from all directions.Jabra appeared to Luffy's right, transformed into a werewolf, roared, gathered strength in his waist, and punched out!"Tekkai: Juushigun!"He was the only Rokushiki master who could use Tekkai while moving freely; this punch was incredibly powerful!Kalifa approached silently from the side and rear, her long legs like whips, kicking ruthlessly toward the back of Luffy's heart.Wedge slammed his iron staff onto the floor, his long hair dancing as if it had a life of its own, the tips hardening like spears, stabbing toward Luffylike countless venomous snakes."Life Return: Shishi Shigan!"Fukuro's round body showed surprising agility as he moved at high speed to Luffy's left, leaving trails of afterimages as countless fists struck out like a Gatling gun."Jugon Secret Technique: Fukuro Dataki!"All CP9 members, from all directions, unleashed their strongest moves, forming a net of certain death with no blind spots.They wanted to completely crush this greatest threat within this narrow carriage.Faced with this combined attack that could instantly destroy an army, Luffy only curled his lips."Gear 5!"Doom-Dut-Da-Da!Doom-Dut-Da-Da!The sound of a heartbeat like beating war drums rang out. Luffy's skin instantly turned bright red and emitted steam, while white flame-cloud-like Haki faintly coiled around his body.What was even more astonishing was that the inner walls of the entire carriage seemed to take on a rubbery texture in an instant.In this narrow space, using moves like Giant would destroy the train along with it. Both he and Robinwere Devil Fruit Users; if they fell into the sea, it would be over.Luffy might seem reckless in battle, but he actually had his own considerations.Lucci's Rokuogan was the first to strike.The shockwave, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, hit Luffy's chest, which was covered in Armament Haki, but it only made a strange, muffled thump, as if hitting extremely elastic super-Rubber. The force was largely absorbed and reflected back.Luffy didn't budge an inch."What?!"For the first time, a look of disbelief appeared in Lucci's eyes."Get lost!"Luffy roared, and his fist, coiled with Haki, struck out at a speed difficult for the naked eye to catch, hitting Lucci's massive leopard-like body dead center.Boom!Like a shell exploding, Luffy's fist created a visible shockwave on Lucci's chest. Lucci felt an irresistible, massive force transfer to him, and his body was about to fly backward uncontrollably. However, just as his body moved, Luffy had already grabbed Fukuro, who was attempting a sneak attack.Whoosh!Luffy swung his arm with great force, slamming the round Fukuro into Lucci like a sandbag. The combined force sent Lucci flying backward even faster, violently crashing through the door panel at the carriage connection!Immediately after, Luffy's arm swung strangely to the side, the Rubber's elasticity making his movements inconceivable. He grabbed Fukuro back into his hand again, using him as a shield against the countless Rankyaku slashes coming from above.Seeing those slashes, Fukuro was scared out of his wits.Chapter 196: Then Declare War!"Tekkai!"Fukuro subconsciously used Tekkai with all his might, his body becoming like a steel ball.Clang clang clang!!!The dense slashes hacked into Fukuro's body, producing the sound of clashing metal and sending sparks flying, yet they struggled to break through the Tekkai he used for full defense.Luffy exerted force with his arm again, throwing Fukuro, who had become a shield, toward Kaku, who couldn't change direction in mid-air.Bang!Kaku couldn't dodge in time and was hit squarely by Fukuro; both of them screamed as they were sent flying.Luffy looked sideways at the roaring Jabra charging toward him, his tone carrying a hint of curiosity: "Your moves are really strange. You're clearly not Devil Fruit Users."It seemed the Marine had some kind of moves; he always heard the word Tekkai.Jabra sneered."We are all masters of the Rokushiki, which surpasses the limits of the human body!"Tekkai, Moonwalk, Shigan... but in Luffy's eyes, these were no different from ordinary people.Before his martial arts, which had been forged through Garp's hellish training and fused with Haki, it was simply laughable.Jabra's heavy punch hit Luffy's blocking arm, as if hitting incredibly tough Rubber, the force being completely diverted.Luffy's fist, with its remaining momentum and coiled with Haki, struck directly at his face!Jabra's nose collapsed, his mouth full of teeth spraying out along with blood. His massive wolf body was sent flying by the punch, crashing through the side wall of the carriage.At that moment, Wedge's hair-Shigan, dancing like a pack of venomous snakes, had already reached his eyes.Luffy's body, however, was like it had no bones, twisting and swaying at various incredible angles, completely evading all the Shigan attacks. Like a slippery fish, he instantly closed in on Wedge's main body."Shigan?"Luffy sneered. "Let me show you my bullet."His fist extended, covered in pitch-black Armament Haki, and he threw a punch at a speed far exceeding Wedge's reaction.Thwack!Like a sledgehammer, an uppercut slammed into Wedge's chin, lifting him off his feet and snapping his head back.Immediately after, his fist turned into a blade, slicing vertically into Wedge's chest. The immense force slammed him hard onto the floor, creating a clear crater.Almost at the same time Wedge hit the floor, Luffydidn't even look as he threw a backhand punch, showing no mercy for the fairer sex as he struck Kalifa in the abdomen as she attacked from behind."Ugh!"Kalifa cried out in pain, those alluring long legs going soft as she knelt directly on the ground."Too slow."Luffy commented flatly, swung his arm, and swung Kalifa's whole body up, slamming her heavily onto the floor!Bang!Kalifa couldn't even let out a scream before she lost consciousness.Luffy looked at the CP9 members lying in heaps on the floor and curled his lip in disdain.His martial arts could go toe-to-toe with AdmiralAokiji!The so-called Rokushiki that supposedly surpassed human limits, in Luffy's view, he could simulate them using his Rubber body's flexibility and strength, and even make them stronger!
