Chapter 238: The Fury of a New Era!
"This world is rotten to the core."
"Only destruction can bring about new life."
Luffy pulled his straw hat down low.
He took a step forward, and the rock beneath his feet cracked instantly.
"Uncle!"
"I'm going to be the Pirate King! I won't let you destroy this sea!"
There's no grand reasoning behind it.
Only your own dreams.
This is Monkey D. Luffy.
Ace, who was next to him, was already engulfed in flames.
Ace's gaze was fixed on Zephyr, burning hotter than flames.
"Old man."
"We were careless last time."
"This time, I'll show you the true strength of us brothers."
Flames exploded at his fingertips, crackling loudly.
"You won't destroy this sea!"
Faced with the two men's anger, Zephyr smiled.
The corners of his mouth turned up!
He looked at the two young men in front of him.
It looks so much like it.
He looked just like one of his students who died years ago.
Pity.
Different stances.
"One of them is that old bastard Kapna's grandson."
"One of them is Roger's son."
He looked up, his gaze fixed intently on the two of them from behind his sunglasses.
"very good."
Zephyr abruptly raised its mechanical arm, and the "Crusher's" cannon was aimed at them.
The dark muzzle of the gun gleamed with the unique, cold light of the sea stone.
"Let me see one last time just how much you so-called 'most evil new era' really is!"
Before he could finish speaking...
A burst of pressure exploded from Zefa's aged body.
The murderous aura of a former admiral.
The murderous aura that crawled out from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
"Luffy!"
"oh!"
Luffy understood.
Between brothers, a single glance is enough.
He put his left thumb into his mouth.
"Third gear!"
His right arm was visibly swollen.
The jet-black Armament Haki covered it, hardening it like steel, and it gleamed coldly in the firelight.
A huge fist, like a giant's hammer, hangs in mid-air.
"Rubber, rubber..."
"Giant's Fist!"
At the same time, Ace also moved.
His body transformed into a raging inferno.
Flames soared into the sky.
At the center of the raging flames, a massive, blindingly white fireball was rapidly taking shape.
Ace raised his hands high, as if holding up a small sun.
The terrifying heat dried up the air in the distance.
"Burning Flames!"
One left and one right.
One firm, one gentle.
Physical destruction, elemental annihilation.
Two powerful forces simultaneously locked Zephyr down.
Zefa did not retreat.
There was only satisfaction in those cloudy old eyes.
"good."
"It's really good."
"This aura, this power..."
He said softly.
Just as the two were about to unleash their ultimate attacks, Zeff moved.
I neither answered nor dodged.
He did something no one would have expected.
"Crush and explode!"
He slammed the mechanical arm in his hand down hard.
The cannon wasn't aimed at the people, but at the ground beneath their feet.
Boom!
A loud bang.
The goal is not to kill, but to destroy.
The already unstable crater floor collapsed instantly, sending rocks flying and dust billowing into the sky.
The shockwave, carrying rocks, slammed into Luffy and Ace's lower bodies.
"What?!"
Luffy had only thrown half of his giant fist when his feet slipped and he lost his balance.
The charge was interrupted, the trajectory of the fist went astray, and it slammed hard into the rock wall next to it.
It smashed out a deep, bottomless pit.
Ace wasn't having an easy time either.
The blast wave dispersed the flames he had gathered, and the "little sun" in his hand shook violently, almost blowing him up.
He could only disperse the fireball and steady himself.
A seasoned veteran of the Navy.
Your weaknesses can be seen at a glance.
"A battle cannot be won by simply shouting."
Amidst the smoke and dust, Zefa's cold voice rang out.
next second.
A dark shadow tore through the smoke.
too fast!
This speed is not typical of an elderly person.
Zephyr used "Shave" to leap across dozens of meters and charged directly in front of Ace.
Ace's pupils shrank to a single point.
He wanted to transform into an element to escape.
But Zephyr's fist arrived.
"A naturalist brat."
"Remember this: relying too much on your Devil Fruit abilities is your biggest weakness!"
The left fist, which wasn't equipped with a mechanical arm, was pitch black, enveloped in a high concentration of Armament Haki.
"Black Wrist!"
boom!
A muffled thud.
Zephyr's fist landed squarely on Ace's stomach.
Elementalization is useless!
He grabbed his physical form with overwhelming force.
The immense force struck Ace's body hard.
"puff!"
Ace let out a painful groan, his body curled up like a shrimp from the blow.
His body flew out like a cannonball.
It only stopped after smashing into a huge rock.
Physical damage.
This is the domineering aura of the strong.
"Ace!"
When Luffy saw his brother injured, his eyes instantly turned red.
He didn't have time to adjust himself; using the recoil from smashing the wall, he twisted his body in mid-air.
The enormous black fist, accompanied by a whooshing sound, slammed towards Zephyr once more.
"Don't be in a hurry."
Zefa snorted coldly.
He didn't turn around; it was as if he had eyes in the back of his head.
The massive mechanical arm "Crusher" swung backward sharply, like a shield.
clang!
A loud bang.
Luffy's "Giant's Fist" slammed into "Crusher".
Sparks flew everywhere.
The impact caused the ground beneath Zefa's feet to crack inch by inch, his feet sinking into the rocks as he slid several meters away.
But he blocked it.
It's very stable.
The hardness of the sea stone, combined with Zephyr's monstrous strength, allowed him to withstand the punch.
That was a really heavy punch.
Zefa shook his slightly numb arm, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
"That old bastard Garp has a good grandson, though."
Using the force of the recoil, Luffy did a backflip and landed next to Ace.
"Ace, are you alright?"
"fine."
"This old man's fists are really hard."
"Don't fight him head-on. This old man's domineering aura is no less than that of old man Rayleigh."
Ace spoke in a deep voice, and in a flash, he was beside Luffy.
"Let's join forces and wear him down with speed!"
"good!"
The two exchanged a glance.
The next moment, they both disappeared.
Counterattack begins!
Ace no longer conjured large fireballs, but instead pressed the flames onto his limbs, using them as propulsion systems.
He moved at high speed on the battlefield, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.
"Fire Fist!"
"Musketeers!"
"Sacred Fire Shiranui!"
Countless fire attacks rained down on Zephyr like a storm.
I don't want to kill them, I just want to disrupt them.
The flames blocked Zefa's vision, and the high temperature drained his strength.
Zephyr swung his mechanical arm, shattering the flames one by one, and frowned.
"A trivial skill!"
Just as Zephyr was engulfed by the flames.
A dark shadow emerged from a blind spot in the flames.
It's Luffy!
His whole body was steaming, and his skin was bright red.
"Rubber-like..."
Luffy's arm stretched out and made a strange turn in the air.
That's an attack trajectory that defies the laws of physics.
"Jet!"
boom!
Zefa raised his hand to block, but missed.
The moment Luffy's fist touched him, it snaked around the mechanical arm and headed straight for his face.
Zefa tilted his head, and a fist flew past his cheek, leaving a bloody mark.
"It's not over yet!"
Luffy kicked a nearby rock, his body arcing through the air at a sharp angle.
Ace unleashed a wall of fire, once again blocking Zephyr's view.
Just as Zephyr swung his arm to ignite the flames.
Luffy's foot has arrived.
This was a well-planned attack.
"A rubbery... boomerang whip!"
Snapped!
A crisp sound.
Luffy, with Haki wrapped around his instep, delivered a solid kick to Zephyr's side waist.
"Hmm!"
Zefa groaned, his body trembling violently.
The enormous body stiffened briefly.
The wound wasn't serious, but it was the first time they had actually hit the target since the start of the war!
A look of surprise flashed across Zefa's face.
He never expected that these two kids could cooperate to this extent.
Use flames to block the view, use rubber to change the trajectory, and use old wounds to create vulnerabilities.
This kind of combat intelligence.
This reaction.
really……
No wonder he's a descendant of Garp and Roger!
Zefa steadied himself and took a step back.
"Good teamwork..."
Then Zefa straightened up, his aura increasing rather than decreasing, and suddenly rose higher.
Like a steel beast that has awakened.
"It seems I can no longer treat you like children."
Zefa's eyes changed.
That was a murderous look in his eyes.
"Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!"
boom!
The rocks beneath Zefa's feet shattered.
He rushed forward again.
This time, faster, stronger, and more ruthless.
Luffy and Ace roared and rushed forward to meet them.
The three of them started fighting again.
Fist shadows, flames.
The sounds of explosions and roars echoed through the sky.
The battle reached its climax.
Just then.
horizon.
A golden streak of light pierced through the thick cloud of volcanic ash.
It is hurtling toward the island at high speed.
A powerful aura is approaching.
