Bad wind itself has extremely strong cutting power, and no matter what kind of plastic expert this guy is, cutting is always useful.
With the added power of the Lifeless Void Killing Technique, it can pierce through this kid's exceptionally tough body, which is enough.
"You're very strong too, Incense Burner, but..."
Luffy clenched his fist and expanded it, his whole body swelling up. A cloud of gas wrapped around his shoulders, and the straw hat on his head was blown back by the expansion force, hanging behind his neck. His hair stood on end.
"I will become stronger! Rubber Rubber - Blazing Fire Spear!!"
Bang!
Without needing to stretch or compress to increase power, the arm was ejected directly from within a surge of liquid, and a huge ball of flame shot out, heading straight for Kuro.
Kuro opened his eyes, and a ribbon continued to imprint itself onto his arm, while wisps of wind wrapped around his hand like sharp blades.
Whoosh!
With a flash, just as the giant fist was about to strike, Kuro appeared above it and slashed straight at the thinner arm.
"If it's stretched out, it'll be easy to cut!"
The hand slashed down straight down the arm like a thunderbolt, striking Luffy's arm. Upon contact, blood spurted out, and the wind blade at the edge of the hand had already cut into Luffy's arm.
"whee!"
But at that moment, Luffy smiled, and his outstretched arm seemed to soften, sinking downwards to prevent Kuro's attack from reaching it. At the same time, the sinking part sprang upwards like a slingshot, directly missing Kuro's arm and bouncing towards his face.
Thump!
The forward-leaning fist snapped back, the forearm beneath it bending and twisting around Kuro, striking him down along with the fist.
"Hydra!!" Luffy shouted.
Those multi-angle attacks were also fast, rushing down and already touching Kuro, but in that instant, Luffy's fist, along with the attack, directly pierced through Kuro's body.
Fake?
Afterimage!
call!
The moment the afterimage appeared, a gust of wind pressed down on the back of Luffy's head. Luffy's eyes widened in surprise, his body softened, and he was forced to move forward a short distance. Then, a hand slash with a wind blade swept down from the original position.
Kuro maintained the downward arm position, bent his legs, and appeared beside Luffy in mid-air. Seeing that his attack had missed, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Absolute Void."
The surrounding space began to become chaotic and disordered, causing Luffy's body to lose its balance and float upwards in disorder.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Kuro raised his hand again, slid his body on the spot, and lunged upwards towards Luffy.
Bang!
But at that moment, the air seemed to explode, continuously bursting apart around Luffy, as if deflecting something, and his body stabilized.
Under that strange elastic force, the rushing wind blades were slightly frozen.
Whoosh!
Luffy's body suddenly shot out, flying towards his fist in the distance. The distance between his arms shrank, and with a snap, it returned to its normal length.
Reverse stretching?
call!
When his hand strike missed, Kuro flicked his finger, and a wind blade, imbued with the power of the Void Strike, flew out, rapidly advancing forward amidst the chaotic airspace.
Thump!
As Luffy's body fell, he suddenly launched himself into the air, the force of which propelled him straight into the sky, allowing him to dodge the combined wind blade.
"Elasticity?"
Kuro's body paused in mid-air, glancing down. At this moment, the shattered earth seemed to remain motionless; neither the absolute void nor the wind blades could destroy it.
"Is elasticity what gives the earth its power, the power of the fruit...?"
Kuro gritted his teeth and looked up at the sky, "You've awakened quite a few abilities, haven't you? Sol and elasticity, huh?"
"Rubber, rubber..."
A black dot gradually descended from the sky and made a sound.
Luffy was falling, looking down at the Marine Admiral who was looking up at him. In his line of sight, he could see the pirates fighting the Marines at the entrance of the passage, Ben Beckman fighting Issho, his comrades fighting on the battlefield, and Shanks looking up on the execution platform.
Flames were generated from the friction of his swollen fists, forming two large fireballs on his massive fists, which also reflected on his body.
Seemingly due to the 'sol,' illuminated by the flames, he himself shone, his light spreading out like a fiery sun against the dark red sky that seemed to have solidified after the battle between Kuro and Teach...
“Luffy…” Zoro looked up and couldn’t help but think of the scene when they met in Shells Town.
This guy defeated Monka with a single punch back then.
Usopp had just dodged several arrows and crouched down in fright, but seeing the light above, he couldn't help but look up, "Luffy..."
In Syrup Village, Luffy defeated Kuro with a headbutt.
“Luffy…” Sanji stared blankly upwards.
Baratie, Luffy defeated the 'East Blue Lord' Krieg...
Arlong the Fishman, the King of Drum Island, Crocodile, Rob Lucci, Gecko Moria, Doflamingo, Charlotte Linlin, Kaido, and Akainu...
Each of the Straw Hat crew members had memories of the past, until Shanks looked up and inexplicably remembered the time when he placed his straw hat on the head of that crying child in the ocean.
"Luffy..." Shanks murmured.
"Shanks!!!"
In the sky, Luffy shouted, "I will definitely save you! Defeat this guy and become..."
