Chapter 269 Smoker knew the gap was too big, so big that he couldn't see it
As soon as the battle started, Smoker turned into smoke from the high wall and rushed straight to Giorno who was surrounded by a group of beautiful girls in the field.
I have been practicing hard every day for the past few years, and I have suffered so much in order to practice my Haki, but this bastard is hanging out with a bunch of pretty girls all day? I hope his strength improves, otherwise you will lose miserably! This is what Smoker thought, and this is how he lost.
All he could see was the nearby ground and the smoke. Smoker's head was pressed to the ground by a "black hand" and half of his head turned into smoke. Except for the place where the "black hand" touched his head, his head did not hit the ground and get hurt... But it still took Smoker two seconds to realize what had happened in that brief moment just now.
He turned into smoke, holding ten weapons in his hands, and rushed straight towards Giorno. However, the guy who had raised his head and greeted him not long ago now looked defenseless and didn't even look at him.
When Smoker's ten hands were about to touch the back of his neck - this kind of force was enough to cripple an ordinary person with one blow - Smoker didn't think that this attack would cause this guy to be seriously injured; but he also didn't think that with the attack so close, this guy would actually... What!?
A "black hand" came towards Smoker. Smoker couldn't see clearly when Giorno turned around and when he attacked. Before he could react, he was pushed to the ground by the other party.
Elementalization... can't escape the opponent's hands...
It was "Armament Haki"... On the opponent's hand, there was Armament Haki! This made it possible to prevent the place where my head touched his hand from transforming into an element and escaping...
The hand above his head was removed, and Smoker heard the guy above him say, "Hey, are you okay?"
What followed was a burst of women's laughter, which soon faded away, mixed with the sound of fists and weapons colliding, and the women also went to fight.
Smoker turned into smoke, reshaped himself, stood in front of Lynch, biting his cigar, and said coldly: "It's Haki! It's not just Armament Haki... Did you use Observation Haki to predict my attack just now?"
"Let's not argue about something so obvious." Lynch looked at the three big cigars in Smoker's mouth with some curiosity. "Are those in your mouth real cigars, or are they a show effect you created with the Smoke-Smoke Fruit?"
"Hmm?" Smoker inhaled, three sparks lit up on the end of the cigar, and he exhaled a puff of thick smoke. He said in a deep voice, "Of course it's genuine. I'm not a pirate who likes to cheat!"
"Why are you so angry? Have you smoked too much?" Lin Qi raised his hand and said with a smile, "You want to fight me? Be careful or I'll take away your Smoke-Smoke Fruit. You can never smoke fake cigarettes like this again!"
As he was talking, he wanted to joke with the girls on both sides, but only Hancock was left not far away. When she saw him looking at her, she tilted her head in confusion, still wondering in her heart whether that marine was Giorno's relative (the Smoke Fruit and the Gas Fruit are too similar); the others all went to find their opponent Happy, and as for Robin, she hid far away and could not add to the fun, and was helpless.
"I told you, I'm smoking the real stuff!"
Smoker growled, stepped forward, and raised all ten weapons to spear Lynch.
Lynch was feeling bored and had no interest in joking with Smoker.
The surface of the ten hands was suddenly stained with a layer of black, especially the top, which was as black as ink.
"It's just Armament Haki. Am I worse than you?"
Smoker's voice was firm, but the facts would not change no matter how firm his belief was or how great his courage was.
Lynch grabbed his ten-handed weapon casually, and the latter's impact came to an abrupt end. Smoker was secretly shocked. Giorno's strength was too terrifying. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get the ten hands loose in Giorno's hands! Lynch raised his eyes and said to Smoker at a close distance: "Yeah, it's too far away."
As he spoke, he grasped the top of the Ten Hands, gently raised his wrist, and lifted up, along with the Ten Hands and Smoker, off the ground.
Embarrassing!
Total loss of face!
Smoker's legs stiffened and turned into smoke. If he had kicked his legs in the air just now, he would have felt humiliated!
"You are indeed stronger than I was a few years ago, Smoker..."
This is the truth.
For example, the Straw Hat Pirates in the comics took only a few months to reach the Sabaody Archipelago, but they encountered various powerful enemies along the way, and the strength of the fighters on the ship changed every day, especially after each fierce battle, there would be a leap in strength. Zoro is a training maniac, he is either training hard on the ship or sleeping when he is tired; Luffy is a genius who can also practice by eating and drinking, and he can convert his daily accumulation into an improvement in strength with just one battle opportunity...
Luffy in Sabaody can beat Luffy after Ghost Island, Luffy after Judicial Island, Luffy after Sky Island, Luffy after Alabasta, Luffy who just entered the Grand Line, Luffy who just went out to sea...
Same with Sauron.
Therefore, the changes in strength in the world of pirates are very drastic and obvious, which means that the range of strength gaps is very large!
The Smoker in front of him could probably pin Lynch, whom he had seen before, to the ground and beat him with one hand.
"That's remarkable and worthy of praise, Smoker."
Lynch calmly looked at the enraged Smoker.
He said slowly, "But, I am more amazing."
As he spoke, he did not move at all, but with a slight movement of his hand, Smoker was thrown out and turned into a wisp of smoke, sweeping across the battlefield where most people were fighting.
"Smoker?!" Captain Hina, who had just arrived here, looked back in surprise and saw the cloud of smoke scattered in the corner of the wall condensed into a human shape.
Smoker was panting and was about to get up, but when he looked up, he saw a black shadow flying towards him.
Boom! Smoker didn't dodge, nor did he have time to dodge. The shadow was at his right eye, passed through his smoke head, and inserted diagonally into the wall. It was his weapon, the Ten-handed.
Smoker's hair was wet and sweat was dripping from his face.
That Giovanna Giorno's strength... has actually reached this point...
After a brief fight, he truly understood.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The gap between him and the other party has reached a point where he can no longer see how big the gap is...
"hateful!"
Smoker pulled out the ten-handed weapon nailed to the wall with his backhand, and ignoring Captain Hinata's shouts, he turned into a puff of green smoke again and rushed towards the guy.
Seeing that the impulsive guy Smoker ran away again, Hina was helpless.
"Really..." Hina lit a thin cigarette.
The navy soldiers were made anxious and irritated by the enchanting movements of the Nine Snake warriors and they couldn't hit them with a single shot!
"It's Observation Haki! These Nine Snake pirates really have mastered that power just as the Vice Admiral and the others said."
Captain Hinai coughed softly. As expected, cigarettes are really strange.
She flicked her finger and sent the thin cigarette flying away. The cigarette was still swirling in the air when she rushed into the battlefield and soon engaged in a fight with the green flying snake.
Sanda Sonia was very curious about the ability of her Kankan Fruit. She had long forgotten what varieties of devil fruits she had seen in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia on the small sky island of Visalia. Seeing Hina's strange ability, she couldn't help but want to play with it for a while. If it was fun, maybe she could ask Giorno to bring it back to the Nine Snakes...
Hina was annoyed by the power of the flying snake. Her "prison" had very limited ability to restrict the slippery snake.
On the other side, Smoker was not having a good time either.
That guy Giovanna Giorno didn't even take him seriously!
Although I am definitely not as strong as you...
But you are underestimating others by fighting half-heartedly like this!
A "sandbag" thrown by the Power Serpent Marigold passed through Smoker and flew away as if through a puff of smoke.
Smoker's head, the curl of smoke condensed back to its original shape. He bit three cigars and said solemnly: "Hey, what are you looking at?"
"Anyway, I didn't look at you." Lynch looked at the entrance, where there was another vice admiral.
Smoker was annoyed and continued to attack, but no matter what, the gap was still too big. Giorno, the bastard, was obviously distracted and could easily parry any of his attacks. Just when Smoker was panting and exhausted, he suddenly saw a sword flash slashing behind the defenseless Giorno! It was Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel! It seemed that Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel had waited for so long just to wait for this opportunity when Giorno was relaxed.
One strike will kill! "Where are you looking at?" Lynch really ignored the attack from behind and held Smoker's head with a smile.
Smoker's head was grabbed by the opponent's hand and it seemed to be shattered, but he didn't care about the pain. He looked behind Giorno in horror... Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel's slash was blocked by a figure that fell from the sky. And then... I don't know what the beautiful figure with its back to Smoker did to Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel in front of her... Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel's whole body... unexpectedly... unexpectedly turned into a stone sculpture!
