While the others on both sides were fighting, Kuro just pointed at Luffy. After a while, Luffy chuckled and said, "No way!"
"Um?"
"I don't want to hear any of that! I'm here to save Shanks, no matter how strong you are!"
"ah..."
Kuro lowered his hand, clenched his fist, and said calmly, "So many people on the sea, and none of them taught you? Then I'll teach you again: you must have reverence for the sea!"
Bang!
A muffled thud came from beneath their feet at the same time, and the two afterimages rushed forward and collided.
Bang!
This time the sound was even louder, generating a huge shockwave from the center, which emitted a black and red aura like thunder.
Kuro and Luffy maintained their charging stance, their fists colliding in mid-air. At the center, the clash of killing intent and Haki formed black and red lightning that continued to radiate outwards.
The already shattered earth around them trembled even more violently under this aura.
"Aaaaaah!!"
Luffy roared, his black and red fist, covered in Haki, trying to move forward, but Kuro's fist remained motionless. No matter how hard Luffy tried, it wouldn't back down. Only the violent aura stirred his hair.
"You fought Kaido, didn't you? So..."
boom!
The barrier of Haki shattered with a deafening roar, and Kuro's fist collided with Luffy's fist, creating a loud explosion that forced Luffy's fist back.
"My strength is about the same now!"
Kuro roared and delivered a powerful knee strike to Luffy's abdomen. The force sent Luffy flying, producing a dull thud like striking steel.
"Rubber Rubber Pistol!"
As Luffy flew through the air, his fist suddenly extended and shot out, striking Kuro's face with incredible speed. The impact caused Kuro's head to tilt back, but only for a moment. He quickly pushed Luffy's fist forward, then struck Luffy's ribs with his elbow. The immense force sent Luffy's body slamming downwards, and his knee, which had been pushing forward, extended its lower leg to kick Luffy away with a thud.
"Shock and control thunder!"
Sizzle!
Boom!!
Kuro swung his hand forward sharply, and a horizontal bolt of lightning shot out, striking Luffy who was flying backward. The lightning exploded, creating a swirling burst of light and blasting a massive crater in the ground.
"Flame of the Fist Mother!"
After that one move, Kuro swung his other hand again, throwing a punch that sent a huge pillar of fire crashing into the hole, burning a massive sea of fire around it.
After throwing a punch, Kuro immediately followed with a kick, his toes creating a whirlwind as he charged straight into the sea of fire, turning the burning flames into a fiery tornado, which also subtly revealed a sharp aura.
Lightning, fire, and wind—the powers of the Azure Dragon Fruit—were unleashed by Clow Reed in a single burst, mimicking Linlin's fighting style. The immense power of nature was brought to its fullest extent in Clow Reed's hands.
only...
Bang!
The tornado, wreathed in flames, burst open like a balloon with a loud bang, launching Luffy out and landing on the ground yelling, "It's useless!!"
Apart from his torn upper body clothing, there was not a single scratch on his body, and faint metallic luster could still be seen.
"So many attacks, and none of them worked. How did you withstand them? I'm sure you're not made of rubber..." Kuro asked, squinting.
"Rely on perseverance!" Luffy answered loudly.
rubber?
Can your rubber roof really stop lightning that can blast holes in the earth?
Okay, even if the superpowered beings on the high seas are powerful, miraculous, and unreasonable.
Why doesn't the wind blade work either? It can't cut through the rubber.
Okay, even if this thing is now a solid solution, alloys are still solid solutions, as hard as anything, and wind blades can't cut through them.
But the flames just won't burn.
rubber?
That's fucking delicious clam.
"Rubber, rubber..."
Luffy continued charging forward, shouting this, but his arm didn't extend. Instead, he suddenly accelerated, arriving in front of Kuro in an instant. His arm seemed to flow, and a liquid-like substance pumped from his arm to his fist. As smoke rose from his fist, a ball of fire was ignited by friction.
"Infernal Flame Fist Gun!!"
Like a mechanical pump, without the need for stretching to generate force, Luffy's fist shot out a blur of afterimages straight towards Kuro's chest.
But just then, a ribbon appeared directly in front of Kuro.
Bang!!
The fist was blocked by the blood-red ribbon. The destructive power of the Void Strike itself resisted the force of Luffy's fist, and in the contact, it twisted Luffy's fist into an irregular dent.
As he defended, Kuro's five fingers snapped open, and a blood-red ribbon rose from his body, wrapping around his arm.
Sizzle!
After the ribbon was dyed, a violent whirlwind with prominent black and red coloration appeared on Kuro's left hand. As the whirlwind deformed, it formed a hand blade along his palm and stabbed directly towards Luffy's chest.
Seemingly sensing danger, Luffy tried to retreat, but his speed was no match for Kuro's. In the blink of an eye, the chop to Luffy's heart was already at the edge of his chest.
laugh!
A stream of blood shot up from the direction the hand slashed in, flying past Kuro's face.
He narrowed his eyes, looking at Luffy who was already retreating, with a slight surprise in his eyes.
