A huge poisonous man suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and crimson poisonous fog spread all around.
Magellan's appearance changed dramatically. His already burly body was now enveloped by this huge crimson poisonous man, forming an "absolute defense."
Magellan's devil fruit ability has already exerted its strongest power at this moment. The moment this crimson poisonous man appeared, even people standing outside could clearly feel that the air inside had undergone tremendous changes.
The venom flowed down from Magellan's body, and the moment it landed on the ground, it began to corrode the soil madly. In an instant, a small pit had been dissolved in the ground under his feet.
The strong toxicity was now fully visible. Even though Luffy was nearly a hundred meters away from Magellan, when the crimson poisonous fog spread, Luffy couldn't help but hold his breath and didn't dare to breathe the air at all.
Although he is a single cell, it does not mean that he has no brain.
Magellan's full-fire appearance made Luffy feel very alert. He didn't dare to bet that his armament domineering could be so strong that he would not be affected by the other party's devil fruit at all.
It is true that Magellan's physical ability has been greatly improved after entering the Marine Headquarters, and his two-color domineering has also grown to a certain level, but in front of Gear Fourth Luffy, Magellan's physical ability is still inferior.
This is also the biggest gap between Magellan and the three veteran admirals.
However, the weakness of Haki is only relative. Even though Magellan's Haki ability cannot reach the world's top level, his strength rating can still be firmly at the admiral level.
Even though he is not a natural-type devil fruit user, Magellan's devil fruit ability is extremely terrifying. Even if facing an opponent who is stronger than him in physical skills, Magellan will not lose by relying on the power of the devil fruit.
The reason is very simple. In front of Luffy, Magellan has the opportunity to make mistakes.
But in front of Magellan, the enemy has no chance to make any mistakes. Once affected by Magellan's devil fruit ability, it will be fatal.
Even Luffy can't change this.
Luffy watched as Magellan was enveloped by the poisonous giant soldier, and the terrifying sight made Luffy hesitate.
There is no doubt that the body is full of poison. For Luffy, who relies on the "flesh-to-flesh" attack method in battle, Magellan looks like a hedgehog, which makes Luffy feel at a loss as to where to start.
Take the risk and force an attack?
Luffy might have a chance to defeat Magellan if he risked his life, but he himself probably wouldn't be able to escape the World Government's encirclement.
Just give up and leave?!
The companions hadn't completely retreated to a safe distance yet, and how could those people just sit there and watch Luffy leave?!
Just when Luffy was hesitating, Magellan had already taken action.
The bounty on Luffy is "no matter life or death". In this operation, Sengoku did not take into account the friendship between him and Luffy. He did not tell Magellan anything in private, but only instructed Magellan to focus on Garen Saint as much as possible in this operation.
Therefore, the moment Magellan is ready to really intervene in the battle, he will attack with all his strength, and his purpose is to kill Luffy!
The Poison Giant Soldier's huge hand suddenly slapped towards Luffy. Although he was a giant with a height of nearly fifty meters, his palm swinging movement was extremely fast. In just a blink of an eye, Magellan's attack had already reached Luffy.
Gusts of bloody wind and hurricane-force winds, carrying poisonous fog, came directly towards Luffy.
"call out--"
Facing Magellan's attack, Luffy did not hesitate at all. He jumped up and quickly disappeared from the spot and flew into the air.
The poisonous fog emanating from Magellan's body was expanding in all directions, but it did not rise into the air. Although the poisonous cloud above his head had not dissipated and the purple poisonous rain had been falling continuously, in Luffy's view, the air was obviously a relatively safe place.
Magellan's big hand swung out but missed, but there was no disappointment on his face. This battlefield had completely become his "territory". Within his territory, even if Luffy was agile, he had no way to defeat him.
From the beginning of the battle to now, Jialin Sheng and his CPs have already retreated further and further.
The general's battle affected a very wide area. Faced with Magellan's ability, even his allies did not want to be trapped.
Luffy in mid-air was trying to calm down and think about how to deal with Magellan, but just as he was hesitating, Luffy's vision suddenly became dazed.
This time, Luffy's senses were extremely clear, and he was absolutely sure that there was really something wrong with his physical condition.
At the same time, Luffy felt a slight pain on his arm. He quickly looked down and found that light-colored poisonous spots had appeared on his hands.
"Even with the protection of Armament Haki, his poison still affects me?!"
Luffy's face changed slightly when he realized that he had been poisoned. He looked up at the poisonous cloud in the sky. Luffy understood that he no longer had time to hesitate like this!
We must fight and decide quickly. Whether to fight or to retreat, we must make a decision now!
It seems to be a multiple-choice question, but what is placed in front of Luffy is actually a single-choice question.
How could he leave now to buy time for his companions?!
"Rubber Ape King Gun!"
Luffy retracted his fists into the machine, gathering strength. He had already made up his mind to stop Magellan here.
For this, he is willing to risk his life.
"Um?!"
Seeing Luffy preparing to attack, Magellan was a little surprised and murmured softly.
He originally thought that the other party would be slow to continue to tangle with him, and when the poison broke out, even if Luffy realized it and wanted to leave, it would be impossible.
However, Magellan did not expect Luffy to be so perceptive. When he realized that he was poisoned, he decisively chose to fight him.
"That's perfect!"
Naturally, Magellan would not retreat at this time and give Luffy a chance to catch his breath.
Since the opponent is ready to fight to the death, he will also fight back head-on here!
“Dong——”
Luffy's fists, which had been ready for attack, suddenly flew out, and his huge fists went straight for Magellan who was wrapped in the poisonous man.
The Ape King Spear in the fourth gear state has overwhelming power and speed in front of Magellan.
In response, Magellan simply raised his arms to block the attack head-on. The poison man was huge and it was difficult for him to dodge. Moreover, Magellan was well aware of his own physical skills level. He didn't think he could still gain the advantage in the physical battle with Luffy after breaking away from the poison man's protection.
He is a superhuman type devil fruit user, not a natural type, so Luffy's fists are still a big threat to him.
Unlike Luffy, after seeing Luffy's strength, Magellan had already calmed down and no longer had the mentality of being superior and fighting against those of lower status.
The moment he took Luffy's attack, Magellan had already made up his mind to exchange his injury for his life.
Hold on and wait for the enemy to take effect!
The Poison Giant Soldier crossed his hands and blocked in front of his chest. Luffy attacked with both fists, and actually broke through the Poison Giant Soldier's defense. His flesh penetrated directly into the crimson venom and attacked Magellan who was also wrapped in the venom.
Magellan had anticipated Luffy's ferocity and had already prepared to defend himself, but when Luffy's fist really penetrated the venom and hit his hands, Magellan felt that his idea of exchanging injury for life was a bit ridiculous.
"boom!!!"
Even though the venom had weakened the power of Luffy's fist, Luffy's Ape King Spear still knocked Magellan out from under the venom.
Magellan flew backwards, his arms forming a strange arc under Luffy's terrifying attack, as if his arms were broken by Luffy.
Compared with Jinbe who is good at physical skills, Magellan's physical skills are weaker. Even when facing Luffy's Gear Fourth, he is no match for him.
but
Magellan flew backwards with blood flowing from his mouth, and the severe pain in his arms was so clear, but there was no trace of pain on Magellan's face. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up to reveal a bright smile.
it's over!
It's not Magellan who is finished, but Straw Hat Luffy who is finished!
"boom!!!"
With this thought in mind, Magellan's body plowed a long furrow in the ground.
Luffy, who knocked Magellan away, slowly floated down from the air. In the fourth gear state, his body looked very light.
There was clearly still a lot of domineering aura left, but at this moment, Luffy suddenly felt his vision darken, his body was completely out of control, and he fell headfirst to the ground.
The crimson venom stained Luffy's arm. The highly toxic venom easily penetrated Luffy's protective domineering aura and affected his body.
It was so strong that even Luffy didn't expect that Magellan's poison would be so strong.
He originally thought that he should be able to leave here after knocking his opponent away, but unexpectedly, the poison was so strong that he was deeply poisoned after only being touched a little bit, and only for a moment.
Luffy supported himself on the ground with his hands, trying to get up, but his muscles were simply too weak to do anything.
Luffy opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he found that even speaking had become difficult for him. At the same time, the weakness of his body made it difficult for Luffy to breathe, and his vision was becoming more and more blurred.
“Tatta——”
The sound of footsteps rang in Luffy's ears. Garin Sheng, with a sword on his waist and a gas mask on his face, slowly walked in front of Luffy. He lowered his head to look at Luffy who was lying limp on the ground, unable to struggle. Under the gas mask, Garin Sheng also showed disappointment.
Although he is one of the Five Elder Stars, he is a "latecomer".
As for Nika, Saint Galin's knowledge only existed in the classics and the legends passed down orally.
He was originally looking forward to the powerful strength of the user of the Nika Fruit. Even before coming, the Five Elders had already discussed in advance that if one person could not deal with it, they would use the teleportation array. Even if it was risky, they had to kill Nika.
But unfortunately, the strength Luffy has shown now is really not worthy of the Five Elders' vigilance.
"You're really a waste—"
"I'm so looking forward to it."
Garin Sheng sighed in disappointment, raised his foot and stepped on Luffy's head. As he spoke, Garin Sheng slowly drew out the long sword from his waist, gestured lightly on Luffy's neck, and the cold blade touched Luffy's flesh.
"Goodbye, Joyboy."
Jialin Sheng raised the long sword in his hand and was about to take action, but his vision suddenly became dazed and his men also stopped immediately.
“?!”
"Magellan's abilities are truly remarkable!"
"It seems that even I can't stay here for long."
Shaking his head, Jialin Sheng sighed and raised the long sword in his hand again.
Luffy forced himself to open his eyes and saw the face of the man in front of him clearly. Seeing the other party holding the blade high, Luffy felt a little relieved in his heart.
"Is that the end?"
As soon as he thought of this, his heart suddenly began to beat strongly.
“Dongdong——”
The dull sound of the heartbeat could even be heard outside the body, and the rhythm like a war drum made Jialin Sheng frown and speed up the speed of his knife.
"boom--"
Just when Luffy was about to be beheaded by a sword, a bolt of lightning suddenly pierced through the poisonous cloud in the sky without warning and shot down towards Garin Sheng and Luffy.
The thunder came so suddenly that Jialin Sheng had no time to react at all and was directly submerged by the terrifying thunder.
The rumbling thunder could be heard for hundreds of miles, and the appearance of the ground mines also attracted the attention of the entire Fishman Island. The fishmen who saw the lightning all looked sideways in the direction of Fishman Street.
Natural thunder has never appeared on Fishman Island.
Jialin Sheng's body was charred and he fell directly to the ground. The black flames did not require any human consciousness to control at all. They emerged out of thin air above Jialin Sheng's body and wrapped around him.
After a long time, the black flames repaired the wounds on Garin Sheng's body, bringing his body back to life.
The old body slowly stood up, and Garin Sheng looked towards the place where Luffy was lying, but found that Luffy had disappeared from his sight.
“!!!”
“Who is it?!”
Seeing the prey flying away, Jialin Sheng's eyes widened with anger, and his whole body exuded a terrifying domineering aura.
The seriously injured Magellan happened to rush back to the battlefield at this moment. He looked around and couldn't find Luffy. A look of surprise appeared on his face.
After glancing at the terrifying aura of Garin Saint, Magellan said nothing more and silently retracted his abilities.
No matter what, the blame for the Straw Hats' escape could never be placed on Magellan's head.
His observation Haki clearly sensed that Straw Hat Luffy had lost his combat effectiveness and was about to be beheaded by Garen.
As for what kind of accident happened, it has nothing to do with him!
Fishman Island Sea Forest.
This was an open lawn somewhere in the Sea Forest. The radiance of the sun-lit trees painted the sky aqua blue. A cool breeze blew through the lawn, making a rustling sound that sobered Luffy up a little.
For some unknown reason, the effect of Magellan's poison is weakening.
"call--"
Luffy took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.
"You're awake, Luffy!"
Sabo was wearing a slim black suit. The moment Luffy opened his eyes, he smiled, turned his head, waved and greeted him.
"Sasabo!"
Luffy was shocked. He didn't expect that the first thing he saw when he regained consciousness was his brother Sabo. Then he was filled with joy.
He knew that the person who saved him was his brother.
