Chapter 746: The powerful enemy blocking the road, the drum of liberation beating! (2 in 1)

Two areas of the battlefield were opened up. In addition to Dragon who helped attract the attention of the Straw Hat Pirates, in order to allow Luffy and his crew to advance smoothly, Sanji also single-handedly stopped Kuma and some of his subordinates who came to block them.

At this time, Luffy led his companions through the underground square and ran along the corridor towards the treasure house of the New Navy.

Since the treasure house left over from the BIG MOM era fell into the hands of the New Navy, the contents inside have undergone tremendous changes. The original gold and silver treasures had long been sold by the New Navy for military expenses.

But there are still many valuable things left. Not only that, the New Navy has been standing in the New World for many years and has killed so many pirates, and they have also obtained many priceless things.

In addition to the text of the road sign history, the treasure house also contains various powerful devil fruits collected by the navy over the years.

If it is an ordinary devil fruit, the new navy will use it as a reward after obtaining it, giving it to those soldiers who have made outstanding contributions in battle, or as a means of motivation for those young people who are favored by the upper echelons.

The few devil fruits that can be stored in the treasury are all rare and powerful.

In addition to devil fruits, the treasure house also contains some precious books, historical relics, etc.

Generally speaking, although there are no priceless "rare treasures" in the secular sense in this treasure house, for a certain group of people, the treasure house of the new navy is still a huge treasure.

The things stored in the treasury are valuable, and similarly, the new navy’s protection of the treasury will not be weak.

As the Straw Hat Pirates and others walked to the end of the corridor, a huge red door appeared in their sight.

Luffy and the others didn't even have time to be happy, as the three figures under the huge door destroyed their joy at having found the location of the treasure.

"Here it is!"

In front of the portal, Abel, a man with white hair and standing in front of the treasure house with his hands behind his back, slowly raised his head and murmured softly.

Beside him were two androids with black wings and the same hair color as Abel - Seraphim!

Both Seraphim looked like teenagers. One of them carried a black sword on his back. He looked 90% similar to Mihawk and was wearing a floral shirt. As the Straw Hat Pirates quickly approached the treasury, Mihawk also took off the sword behind him, held it in his hand, and put on a guarded posture.

Next to S Mihawk was a young man in a red kimono. There was a flame-shaped red mark on his cheek and his white hair was tied into a high ponytail. He looked handsome and sharp.

The appearance of this Seraphim is exactly the same as that of Yoriichi Tsugakuni in his youth, and Yoriichi Tsugakuni has a long sword on his waist.

Also different from S. Mihawk's imitation black sword, the long sword in S. Tsugumi Kuniyoshi's hand is the real Mikazuki Munechika, one of the 12 supreme swords. The new navy has strangled countless pirates over the years and obtained many precious weapons. This supreme sword is one of the gains of the new navy.

The three swordsmen stood quietly in front of the red portal of the treasure house.

"Humph!"

Abel had no intention of wasting time talking to the Straw Hat Pirates. After a cold snort, he took the lead, suddenly drew his sword, and then slashed in the direction of Straw Hat Luffy and the others.

The slash went through the ceiling and the ground. The corridor, which was not very narrow, was filled with nearly half of the space by this slash.

The terrifying power created a strong wind in this limited space, whistling towards Straw Hat Luffy and the others.

"Slash?!"

"How come there is such a powerful enemy again?"

"Luffy!!"

After encountering strong men from the new navy one after another, Luffy's crew members began to feel helpless.

Usopp's face turned pale as he watched the enemy's attack coming towards him, and he screamed at Luffy in front of him.

"Don't worry, Usopp!"

"We will win!"

Luffy's eyes quickly swept over the three people blocking his way, and his gaze only stayed on S. Tsugakuni Yoriichi for a moment, and then he spoke confidently to his companions behind him.

These people in the new navy are all unfamiliar faces, and Luffy doesn't know any of them. Although Abel puts a lot of pressure on him, based on Luffy's understanding of the new navy, the other party should not be one of the strongest ones in the new navy.

In Luffy's opinion, the strong ones are those who have the title of "Admiral".

Ever since he mastered the Nika form, Luffy believed that he would not lose to anyone. Even if the opponent was at the admiral level, he could still fight against him. Below the admiral level, no one could match him!

As he spoke, Luffy leaped out.

His crew members are all "functional" crew members. In terms of combat capability alone, it is too difficult for them to intercept the slashes released by a strong man like Abel.

"I'll stop them, you guys be careful, if you get a chance, rush in!"

As Luffy spoke, he held his thumb in his mouth and blew hard, and Luffy's body swelled up rapidly.

"Fourth gear!"

His body swelled, and the powerful Armament Haki quickly wrapped around Luffy. As the snake-man form appeared, Luffy's body gently fell to the ground, and with the rebound, his body easily rose two meters off the ground.

Facing the rapidly approaching slashing attack, Luffy held his right hand in a palm position and quickly compressed it backwards. At the moment when the slashing attack was approaching, Luffy suddenly slapped out.

"boom!!!"

Before the awakening of the Rubber Fruit, the slashing attack posed a great threat to Luffy, but after his devil fruit ability developed to the fourth gear, the threat posed by the slashing attack to him was actually not much different from those other attacks.

The confrontation between the strong is not just a competition of devil fruit abilities, but more of a competition of the difference in domineering power between the two.

Luffy possesses the domineering Haki, and his armed Haki has also reached the top level after years of growth. Luffy doesn't think he will lose to others.

Abel's slash hit Luffy's palm directly. The domineering power of Abel and Luffy collided with each other, making a low muffled sound. In an instant, the shock wave swept around.

A strong wind blew, and Usopp and the others lowered their center of gravity to resist the sudden shock wave, but Luffy and Abel and others in the distance were not affected at all.

"Guard the gate!"

"Anyone who dares to approach will be captured immediately!"

Abel didn't want to give the Straw Hat Pirates any chance to take advantage. After using his Observation Haki to sense the enemy's strength, his target was directly locked on Luffy himself.

Among all these pirates, Luffy is the only one that Abel is interested in. As for the others, in Abel's eyes, they are nothing but scumbags that can be easily killed.

"Boom!!!"

Abel kicked the ground with both feet and rushed towards Luffy against the shock wave.

After he left, S Mihawk and S Jiguo Yuanyi took slight steps and blocked the gate, looking like door gods.

"Luffy, be careful!"

Abel's figure turned into a residual shadow. The moment he disappeared from the spot, Coby noticed it and shouted hurriedly.

Luffy's observation Haki naturally detected the enemy's traces, and his expression condensed, and he immediately took a stance to resist. Abel's tall figure appeared in front of Luffy in an instant, and the long sword fell, directly slashing on Luffy's quickly raised arms.

The long sword slashed at the fleshy arm, but failed to break through Luffy's protective domineering. However, Abel's terrifying force also blasted Luffy in mid-air to the ground. Luffy, who had nowhere to gain support in mid-air, was unable to completely resolve the enemy's attack.

"boom!!!"

The moment he landed, Luffy's feet compressed rapidly like springs, not only relieving Abel's force, but also turning the impact force into his own power.

"Boom!!!"

With a loud bang, Luffy bounced up and attacked Abel. At the same time, Luffy punched out, his arm stretched almost unlimitedly, and Luffy's fist turned several times in the air before hitting Abel's side at a weird angle.

At the same time, Luffy's arms also formed a circle of network around Abel, as if to lock Abel inside.

"?!"

This was the first time that Abel had seen Luffy's imaginative fighting style. When he came, he also took a look at some information about the Straw Hat Pirates and knew that the guy in front of him was the captain of this pirate group, Straw Hat Luffy, who had the ability of the Rubber Fruit.

But Abel did not expect that the rubber fruit could be developed to this level.

Apart from anything else, Luffy's fist was very powerful, and it also gave Abel a sense of urgency.

But
"Are you only thinking about how to attack me?! You don't have any defense measures for your own body?"

Abel glanced at the incoming fist, his eyes sharpened, and he quickly dodged sideways. Then Abel swung his sword at the "net" that covered him. It was woven by Luffy with his outstretched arms, and could be regarded as a "preliminary preparation" for the snake man's attack.

Only by disrupting the enemy's judgment can Luffy's fist hit the opponent's body unexpectedly and solidly.

But Luffy seemed to have overlooked one point. As his fist turned several times in the air, his outstretched arm had become one of his biggest weaknesses.

It is true that Luffy's Armament Haki is very strong, but his Haki is not strong enough to deal with any form of attack.

As his arms extend, the coverage area of ​​Luffy's domineering will inevitably increase. If Luffy's domineering is limited, then this also means that Luffy needs to consume more domineering. At the same time, within a unit distance, the domineering that Luffy can use for protection will also become less.

Such an attack might be unexpected and powerful, but for Abel, it is full of loopholes!

"The pirate who caused such a big commotion on Fishman Island, turns out to be only this powerful?"

"That guy Jinbei actually lost to someone like you. He is really lazy!"

Facing Luffy's attack, Abel didn't even think of dodging, allowing the opponent's fist to hit him. At the same time, a raging fire ignited behind Abel.

The fist hit Abel's waist, causing Abel to fly towards the side wall.

But Abel was not injured by Luffy. After adjusting his posture, he swung his sword directly at Luffy's outstretched arm.

"clang--"

The long sword fell, and a golden sound was heard, but the next moment, the blade penetrated Luffy's muscle half an inch, and blood flowed directly from Luffy's arm.

"what!!!!"

Luffy was not the kind of person who could bear pain. The moment he was cut, he let out a cry of pain and then quickly retracted his arm to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the flaw and attacking him.

The arm retracted and returned to its original shape, but a long wound was left on Luffy's forearm. The wound was not very deep, but the bloody appearance made Luffy look a little embarrassed.

After just one encounter, he was injured by Abel.

"Luffy!!! You're hurt!"

"Are you okay? Luffy."

Luffy's cry of pain was heard by everyone, and this made all the crew members nervous.

The enemy injured Luffy at the first sight. They had never seen such strength before.

What frightened them even more was
Although Abel was hit by Luffy's punch, he was not affected at all. He gently spread his wings behind him and hovered in the air, looking down at the Straw Hat Pirates with coldness in his eyes.

"I'm fine!"

Luffy gritted his teeth, glanced sideways at the wound on his forearm, and then comforted his partner.

Although it hurt, the injury was not serious. He mastered the life return when he was in the headquarters, and could control muscle contraction to temporarily stop bleeding and maintain combat effectiveness.

Compared to his own minor injuries, what Luffy cared more about was the fact that the other party was not injured.

It was obvious that his fist hit the opponent hard!

"What the hell is going on?"

"Is the opponent's Armament Haki too strong?!"

Luffy raised his head slightly and looked at Abel in the sky with a heavy heart.

Luffy glanced at the treasure house door in the distance and decided not to hold back.

"hateful!"

"I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!"

"How can we stop at a place like this?"

After just a face-to-face confrontation, Luffy has clearly felt the enemy's powerful strength. This is the headquarters of the Navy, and the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for him.

Moreover, the snake-man form consumes a lot of domineering energy. Instead of continuing to use the snake-man form to fight the enemy, it is better to use the killer move directly!

White "liquid" seeped out from Luffy's skin. It is somewhat inaccurate to call it liquid, but the white substance that seeped out of Luffy's body was rapidly wrapping around Luffy's body.

At the same time, Luffy's form is also changing rapidly.

"Boom!!!"

A strong heartbeat sounded in the corridor, and the drum of liberation had already sounded.

Abel obviously noticed something strange happening to Luffy, and when the release drum sounded, Abel's expression froze. Not only him, but also Kuma who was fighting with Sanji in the underground square also heard the sound.

Sanji took the opportunity to kick the bear in the chest. The bear flew back without paying any attention to Sanji and turned back to look at the corridor in the direction of the treasure house.

"Joyboy!"
