Luffy's body is changing rapidly, and a domineering aura that is completely different from before is emanating from Luffy's body.
This strange breath was not only felt by Abel, but even Kuma who was fighting with Sanji in the underground square could sense it clearly.
"Joeyboy!"
The drum of liberation sounded in the underground base of the new navy, and the memory of Xiong's past buried in his blood was awakened by the sound of the drum of liberation.
With a low murmur, the bear no longer cared about dealing with Sanji in front of him. His figure flashed and quickly disappeared in the underground square.
"Hello!!"
The bear disappeared silently, and to Sanji it was like teleportation, and there was no way to catch its figure with the naked eye.
Although Sanji didn't know why the other party was in such a hurry to leave, he could guess that the other party was so anxious because of the familiar domineering aura that suddenly came from the depths of the corridor.
For both Bear and Abel, it was the first time that they felt the breath of Joyboy at such a close distance. The sound of the drum of liberation had a special meaning for their ancient race.
"Luffy!!"
Sanji knew that Luffy must have encountered a powerful enemy. Sanji was familiar with the breath of the Nika form. Seeing Kuma hurriedly leaving, he couldn't help but worry about his companions. After a brief thought, he hurried towards the treasure house along the corridor where Luffy and others left.
In the corridor in front of the underground treasure house.
Abel witnessed the entire transformation of Luffy's form. At this time, Luffy had completely entered the Nika state. His black hair had turned into some kind of gelatinous white hair, and the aura he exuded was much stronger than before.
"Joey Boy. A brat like you!?"
At this point, Abel had no idea that the young man in front of him was the "Joey Boy" that he and Xiong had been thinking about.
Although his obsession with Joyboy was not as deep as that of a bear who had been carrying strong emotions for him since childhood, as a descendant of the Lunalia tribe with a long history, Joyboy's existence itself was extremely special to him.
Luffy's heartbeat and the sound of the liberation drum also shook Abel's heart.
In addition to being shocked, Abel felt even more absurd.
Although Abel is not very old, he has seen countless heroes and strong men in the first half of his life.
Kaido who liberated him from the Navy's experimental base; Roger, the Pirate King who once set off a pirate craze in the world; Whitebeard and Golden Lion, the legendary pirates who could compete with Roger, the Pirate King; and Garp, the hero who plays an important role in the Navy Headquarters.
There is also Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who rescued him from the quagmire of pirate identity and changed his entire life.
Each of these strong men is famous throughout the world, and each of them is terrifyingly powerful.
But even with such a group of people, there is no Joy Boy.
Now tell Abel that Joey Boy has appeared, and he's such a young pirate?!
This is undoubtedly a huge impact on Abel.
Sun god? Liberation fighter? Savior?
Just with a little brat like this?!
"Tsk, what a joke!"
After the shock, a nameless anger burned from the bottom of Abel's heart. He felt that his previous beliefs were so ridiculous.
Even though the sound of the drum of liberation was right next to his ears, Abel would not admit that the boy in front of him was the so-called Sun God or the so-called liberation fighter.
"They are just a bunch of pirates who want to steal treasure!"
Abel gripped his sword tightly, muttered to himself, strengthened his will, and then swung the sword towards Luffy and the others.
The powerful domineering aura condensed into a blade light and shot towards Luffy who had just entered the Nika form.
"Hahahaha!" Luffy, who sensed the attack, didn't feel nervous at all. While he let out a loud laugh, he suddenly grabbed the ground with both hands and lifted it up.
The solid ground covered with tiles seemed like ordinary rubber at this moment. Luffy lifted it up and blocked everyone in front of him, forming a "wall".
When Abel's slash hit this "wall", the "rubber" ground that originally had "fluidity" returned to its original appearance. Not only that, Luffy also injected powerful domineering aura into this "wall".
The blow only left a "small" gap on the wall, three or four meters long and half a meter wide.
At first glance, it seems that the destructive power caused by Abel's slash is not small, but in fact, if Abel's slash falls somewhere else, it can even easily cut off a mountain.
But at this time, there was no way to break through the brick wall that Nika Luffy temporarily created with his ability.
"boom!!!!"
An explosion sounded in the corridor, and in the midst of dust, Luffy's arms suddenly stretched out from the smoke and dust, quickly grabbing Abel.
In Abel's opinion, there was nothing special about Nika Luffy's attack method. Relying on the power of Observation Haki, he could still leave traces.
Abel spread his wings behind him and quickly stepped back to avoid the grabbing hands. The next moment after his figure left, Luffy slapped the air with a "bang", and his face was still smiling brightly. Then his head quickly grew bigger, filling almost the entire corridor, and then his neck quickly stretched out and bit Abel who had dodged.
In the fifth gear state, Luffy's body not only retains the properties of rubber, but his fighting ideas also become more imaginative.
Perhaps because the Nika Fruit is too special, this "attribute-less" superhuman devil fruit can realize all kinds of strange ideas in Luffy's mind.
It seems that the Nika Fruit has completely transcended the scope of devil fruit. Whatever Luffy imagines in his mind, the Nika Fruit can make it come true.
Just like Luffy's attack now, what he was thinking about was biting Abel with his teeth, and the teeth that were exposed when he opened his mouth wide became jagged like shark teeth, and their shape also changed dramatically.
The inexplicable fighting style presented to Abel not only failed to make Abel feel "nonsense" and funny, but instead made his hair stand on end and feel more dangerous.
"Flame Emperor!"
A wisp of flame behind Abel split off and condensed into a ball in the palm of Abel's hand. As Abel retreated, he was about to reach the door of the treasure house and it became unavoidable. He quickly launched a counterattack.
With a low shout, Abel shot the flame in his palm forward, and the flame hit Luffy's mouth with his mouth wide open like a laser.
The red flames illuminated the entire corridor.
"ah--"
Luffy took a bite, but although he failed to bite Abel successfully, he engulfed the flames released by Abel.
The big head quickly retracted and returned to its original appearance, while Luffy puffed out his cheeks, shook his head, and then swallowed the flames.
Swallowing the Flame Emperor's flames caused Luffy's body to react. As his bulging cheeks deflated, flames also spewed out from his ears and nostrils.
Abel's eyelids twitched at the strange scene, and Luffy burped softly, then laughed and cheered, "How interesting!"
"Next, it's my turn to attack!"
Fighting is more like a game to Luffy now, and the sense of crisis does not even appear in his mind.
Although he could feel a strong sense of oppression from Abel and others, that kind of thing would not affect Luffy's mentality at all.
Luffy suddenly reached out and grabbed his ear. The sparks that gushed out of his ear were about to dissipate into the air, but at this moment they were caught by Luffy's hand.
After Luffy caught the flame, it not only did not dissipate, but instead became more condensed.
This scene also fell into the sight of Abel and others. Abel was shocked and frowned.
"How is this possible?!"
"He caught the flame?!"
Without giving Abel a chance to think, Luffy rushed forward, and the flame in his hand shot directly at Abel and others like a javelin.
Abel stood in front of S. Mihawk and S. Tsugakuni Yoriichi who did not take action, and slashed directly at the flying flaming javelin with the long sword in his hand.
The flames suddenly dissipated under this slash, and at the same time, Luffy's figure appeared in front of Abel, his right hand expanded rapidly, and he grabbed Abel directly.
A man who can catch fire.
Even though Abel had racial abilities, he didn't dare let the other party grab him.
Although he would not be injured by ordinary attacks in this state, Luffy's current state also made Abel's heart alarm bells ring.
Without giving Abel any chance to think, he spread his wings behind him and quickly jumped up, avoiding Luffy's attack.
And Luffy's target is obviously not entirely focused on Abel.
Although he felt an inexplicable joy in his heart while in the Nika state, Luffy's mind was still clear. He knew where he was and what the biggest purpose of this trip was.
Luffy actually expected Abel to fly away from the original place, but his offensive did not weaken because of this. Instead, he changed his palm into a fist and swept directly towards S Mihawk and S Tsugaru Kuniyoshi in front of the treasure house door.
Although the two Seraphim never participated in the battle, their attention was always on Luffy and other invaders.
When Luffy's attack came, the two Seraphim disappeared from the spot in a flash. Their speed was even faster than Abel with wings.
"boom!!!!"
Luffy's fist hit the door of the treasure house with a loud bang. Dust and gravel on the ceiling fell down. For a moment, the whole corridor was shaking noticeably, and everyone in the corridor could feel the vibration.
The door of the treasure house was blasted open by Luffy, and the thick steel plate of the gate was still left on the broken and deformed frame.
Luffy's attack was so powerful that even the alloy door of the treasure house, which was nearly half a meter thick, could not withstand it.
The smoke and dust cleared, and Luffy watched the door to the treasury open, his face filled with excitement:
"rush!"
Luffy shouted to his companions behind him, and took the lead, rushing directly towards the treasure house.
"Abel, delay time. He can't maintain this state for too long."
The enemy was very powerful, and Abel's attacks had little effect on Luffy. Just when Abel was at a loss, S. Tsugikuni Yoriichi suddenly spoke up to remind him.
This Seraph was created using the bloodline factor of Yoriichi Tsugikuni. What is different from other Seraphs is that the starting point of this Seraph is very low, almost the lower limit of the Lunalia bloodline.
However, unlike other Seraphim, although S. Tsugikuni Yoriichi's physical strength started at a very low level, his growth rate was extremely terrifying.
Sword skills, combat techniques, all of these things other Seraphim need to rely on Vegapunk to "import data" using special means, but S Tsugikuni Yoriichi does not need that. All of them, with just one glance, he can integrate the so-called skills into himself.
If ordinary Seraphs are a huge man-made "database", then Satsuki Kuniyoshi is the kind of intelligent AI that can automatically update and learn.
After the transformation, Vegapunk suspected that S.Tsuguki Yoriichi had already possessed true human consciousness, but everything about S.Tsuguki Yoriichi was still under study.
In order to prevent unnecessary trouble, S. Tsugikuni Yoriichi was never sent out by the new navy to perform missions except for some necessary test training.
This Seraph has only one mission, which is to guard this underground treasure house that almost no one visits.
Now, Abel seems to be unable to deal with the invading Straw Hat Pirates alone, and this Seraph who is suspected of having independent consciousness also speaks.
S.Tsugakuin Yoshiichi landed lightly on the ground and watched Luffy and others rushing towards the treasure house. His face was still calm, and his eyes looking at Luffy and others were still indifferent.
If Abel hadn't heard it carefully, he would have doubted whether S. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi had spoken at all.
However, at this time, Abel obviously had no time to analyze whether what S. Tsugakuni Yoshiichi said made sense. He had no resistance to this Seraph who looked like Tsugakuni Yoshiichi when he was a teenager.
Subconsciously, I followed S.Tsujikoku Yoriichi's instructions.
“Delaying time.”
"Did Seraph notice something?!"
Abel thought to himself, but his hands moved quickly. He raised his sword above his head with both hands, and then swung one of his strongest attacks at Luffy and the others:
"Fire Dragon Torch!"
Blazing flames surrounded the blade, and as Abel's sword fell, the flames transformed into a five-clawed fire dragon, circling and charging towards Luffy and the others.
The heat emitted by the fire dragon baked the entire space blazingly hot. There was even some liquid lava left on the ceiling and floor after the fire dragon attacked.
Abel's attack was much stronger than the previous Flame Emperor's!
