Chapter 750: True Awakening and Unlocked Trump Card! (2 in 1)

The Seraph's attack came so fast that Luffy only showed a brief flaw, but the enemy seized the opportunity precisely.

In the blink of an eye, S. Tsugakure Yoshiichirō had already arrived in front of Luffy, and the long sword in his hand fell towards Luffy.

When Luffy looked up, he saw the flash of a knife coming towards him. He quickly jumped back to dodge it, and suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his chest. A touch of warmth spread from his chest, and bright red blood spurted out from the wound, splashing all over the ground.

Falling back to the ground, Luffy didn't bother to check his injuries at this moment. Instead, he took advantage of his remaining strength to swung his palms forward and slapped towards the direction where S. Tsugakuin Yoshiichi was.

But perhaps due to the influence of his injuries, or perhaps because his physical strength had dropped sharply, Luffy's attacks were much less threatening than before.

S. Tsugakuin Yoshiichirō, who was a few meters away, had no intention of retreating. Instead, he shook the black wings behind him and accelerated towards Luffy.

In the eyes of Seraph, the injured Luffy is just a prey waiting to be hunted. Will the beasts hunting in the wild choose to retreat after their prey is injured?
Of course not, a good hunter naturally knows how to seize opportunities!
"Snapped!!!"

The huge palm closed, and Luffy's attack missed. S. Tsugakuni Yoshiichirō rushed in front of Luffy, and the long sword in his hand once again aimed at Luffy's chest and chopped down again.

But at this time, Luffy had no way to dodge the attack of S Tsugakukuni Yoriichi. His fighting was completely different from that of Seraph. Luffy's fighting was free and easy, it was pure stream of consciousness.

After realizing that he was injured, he didn't think much about it and almost subconsciously stretched out his arms to fight back, but he seemed to have forgotten that his attack method was full of loopholes in front of the Seraphim in front of him.

Not only did his attack fail to delay the enemy's pursuit, but it left his center gate wide open again, revealing a huge flaw once again.

Seeing the long sword coming down, Luffy, who had no way to avoid it, suddenly had an idea.

Luffy didn't make any other movements. The ground in front of him suddenly bulged up, forming a hemispherical earth wall in front of Luffy.

S Tsugumi Kuniyoshi slashed down with his sword, and the blade instantly sank into the mound of earth, but strangely, the powerful domineering aura attached to his sword was unable to penetrate the small mound in front of him and hurt Luffy behind the mound.

This mound of earth that suddenly appeared and blocked S. Tsugakure Yoshiichi's slash actually contained Luffy's powerful domineering aura!

"Well!?"

This sudden scene successfully delayed the actions of the Seraph. S. Tsugakuin Yoshiichi was obviously quite surprised. After quickly drawing out his long sword, he did not choose to continue chasing Luffy. Instead, he jumped back lightly and put some distance between himself and the earth bumpkin.

Faced with unknown abilities, the caution hidden in his Seraph bloodline prevented him from acting rashly.

Seeing that the enemy did not continue to pursue him, Luffy felt relieved and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Only now did Luffy have time to check the wound on his chest.

The short shirt he was wearing had been opened by the blade, leaving a long wound on his chest. The wound started from the shoulder and extended to the waist. The skin and flesh were torn and blood was dripping.

If Luffy hadn't dodged in time, this single blow would have been enough to kill him. Even in the Nika state, Luffy was still injured by the opponent's slash. Luffy knew that the opponent's domineering power was probably even stronger than his own.

Only someone with far greater dominance than himself could possibly hurt him in his Nika state.

After awakening the Devil Fruit ability, this is the first time Luffy has encountered such a powerful enemy. Although Luffy was accidentally captured on Hazelnut Island before, the enemies he encountered then and now are actually not the same type.

The woman who captured them on Hazelnut Island relied more on the convenience of the devil fruit and her own wisdom. Facing such an enemy, Luffy was not unable to match it, but because he had no way to exert his full strength when being ambushed.

But the enemy guarding the treasure house door at this time is different. He is a powerful enemy that Luffy can still defeat even in the Nika state.

Although it has a great relationship with his physical decline, from this perspective, his physical strength is not enough to support Luffy to maintain the Nika state for a long time. Doesn't this also mean that his strength level is far from reaching the level of others?
This is how the battle between strong people is. If there is a lack of devil fruit ability, physical strength, domineering, and combat awareness in any of these aspects, you may be caught in an opportunity.

The enemy can seize every flaw in Luffy, which also proves how terrifying the enemy is.

"Luffy, how are you!?"

After the battle started, the domineering aura released by S.Tsugumi Yoshiichirō had been restrained a lot, and at this time Coby, Brook and others had also recovered some mobility.

Although they did not have the ability to intervene in the battle, they still assisted their comrades who had lost consciousness and kept a close eye on the two people on the battlefield.

Seeing Luffy's miserable appearance at this time, Coby immediately expressed his concern with worry.

Luffy obviously felt the concern of his companions and the anxiety in their hearts. In order to comfort them, Luffy half-crouched for a while and then quickly stood up, and then pretended to be calm and said:
"It's just some superficial injuries. You can still fight!"

"Don't worry, I won't lose!"

Although Luffy tried hard to appear to be full of energy when he said this, the severe pain made him sweat coldly. If he had not been in Nika form at this time, Luffy's pale lips would probably have been noticed by Coby and the others.

Pain and weakness.

All kinds of DEBUFFs were coming from his body, and Luffy felt that his head had become a lot heavier. As the mound of earth in front of him slowly fell down, Luffy's sight turned to S. Tsugakure Yoriichi who was not far away. However, at such a close distance, S. Tsugakure Yoriichi's figure even had a double image in Luffy's eyes.

"hateful."

"I absolutely cannot fall down here!"

Luffy could naturally sense that his condition had deteriorated, and when he was in a trance, even his Nika state could not be maintained for a moment, revealing his original appearance. Although this scene was fleeting, it was accurately captured by S Tsugakure Yoshiichi.

S. Tsuji Kuniyoshi suddenly raised his hand, and a laser was brewing in his palm. In Luffy's surprised eyes, the laser was suddenly released.

"What exactly is going on?!"

When Luffy saw that the enemy with a knife actually released a laser, a big question mark arose in his mind.

This kind of thing was not the first time Luffy had heard of it, nor was it the first time he had seen it. When he was at the Marine Headquarters, Luffy had heard that one of the admirals in the headquarters had eaten the Pika Pika Nomi, a devil fruit whose ability was to release lasers.

After going out to sea, Luffy also encountered Seraph S. Abel on Fishman Island. During the battle with the enemy, he also saw with his own eyes that the enemy could release lasers.

But Luffy just thought it was a coincidence. After all, the world is so big, and it is not too strange that a person with abilities similar to the Pika Pika Nomi accidentally appeared in a big force like the New Navy.

But when the laser was released from the hands of the S-level warrior Yoshiichirō in front of him, Luffy also realized that this method of attack might not be an "isolated case" among the new navy.

The new navy seems to have thoroughly mastered this ability and is able to "place" this ability in certain people.

Luffy didn't have time to think about the connection between them, but the image of the new navy in Luffy's mind was undoubtedly much stronger.

Although the strength of the new navy had long been anticipated, some of the things that the new navy has demonstrated so far are still far beyond Luffy's expectations.

He thought that if the new navy did not send out the admirals, he would never lose, but after entering the Wan Guo, he had suffered a lot of setbacks.

The laser shot out, followed by a sharp whistle.

Luffy was surprised by the attack released by S Tsugakukoku Yoshiichi, but compared to the opponent's slash, this attack actually made Luffy relax a lot. Luffy raised his hand and actually reached out to grab the laser.

"?!"

What's more surprising is that the laser not only failed to penetrate Luffy's palm, but also did not explode in Luffy's palm. Instead, Luffy just calmly grabbed it in his hand and turned it into a light gun.

This sudden scene also made S.Tsugumi Kuniyoshi startled. The next moment, the figure of Seraph flashed, disappeared from the spot and shot towards Luffy.

Originally because Seraph was afraid of Luffy's special ability, he chose to use such a long-range attack, but the ineffectiveness of the laser was indeed beyond Seraph's expectations. However, Seraph is not the kind of person who will sit and wait for death, not to mention that this Seraph inherited the bloodline of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

Luffy noticed the enemy's advance, and quickly threw the light spear in his hand back in the direction where S. Tsugakuin Yoshiichi was attacking.

The forward-rushing S. Tsugakuin Yoshiichirō only turned his body to the side without slowing down. After avoiding Luffy's counterattack, he appeared above Luffy's head, and the long sword also fell towards Luffy's head.

Since the slashing is effective, just continue to use this method to consume the enemy!
Seraph has a clear idea, and Luffy is full of flaws in front of him.

"Luffy!!!"

Coby and the others also saw that Luffy could not hide his weakness in the face of such strength, and they could not help but shout loudly when they saw the enemy attacking Luffy again.

Although Luffy's mind became a little confused, he still saw the enemy attacking him. However, his physical strength at this time was no longer enough to support him to flexibly avoid the attack of this powerful enemy.

“That’s it.”

Even Luffy couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart at this moment. Time seemed to have come to a standstill at this moment.

Luffy watched the blade getting closer and closer to him, but his body did not move and he could not make any effective evasive moves. At this moment, he seemed to have completely given up resistance.

"Boom-"

Luffy's world became extremely quiet at this moment, and in this quiet world, his heartbeat was extremely clear.

"Boy——"

“It’s not time to give up yet!”

"Defeat him! Defeat the enemy in front of you!"

In Luffy's quiet world, a voice suddenly sounded in Luffy's mind. This voice was long and distant, and contained a sense of vicissitudes. At the moment when it sounded in Luffy's mind, Luffy only felt that the pain and weakness in his body suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Outside, drastic changes were taking place on Luffy's body. White flames seeped out from his pores and wrapped around Luffy's body.

Although Luffy himself did not make any movement, the flames that seeped out suddenly formed a flaming shield in front of Luffy. The long sword fell and slashed fiercely on the flaming shield, but it could not move forward at all.

S Tsugumi Kuniichi frowned slightly, and just as he was about to continue his attack, a white flaming spear suddenly condensed in Luffy's hand. Behind the flaming shield, Luffy's eyes were clearly out of focus, as if he had fallen into a coma, but his body moved on its own.

He suddenly grabbed the fire shield in front of him with his left hand, tightened the flaming spear in his right hand, and then stabbed towards S Ji Guoyuan in front of him with lightning speed.

S Ji Guoyuan tilted his head sharply, and the white flame spear passed by his cheek, and a few strands of red hair fell down.

The next moment, Luffy, holding a shield and a gun, rushed towards S. Tsugakuin Yoshiichi at a rapid speed. The spear in his hand was like stars falling to the ground, and he pointed it out repeatedly. The flashing gun body had turned into a series of afterimages. The spear light forced S. Tsugakuin Yoshiichi to block and retreat continuously. Several bloody holes were opened on his shoulders, arms, chest and other parts while he was retreating.

After retreating more than ten meters, Luffy's consciousness returned to his brain. While stopping the pursuit, Luffy's vision was restored, and a fighting instinct that did not belong to him was also engraved in his body.

"Hey!"

"Hahahaha!"

Luffy suddenly burst into laughter, and glanced at the injured S. Tsugakure Kuniyoshi, his eyes revealing deep excitement.

“We can win!!!”

Luffy didn't even bother to think about what was happening to him. He just felt as if he had endless strength and energy in his body.

This feeling of being almost omnipotent made Luffy feel very happy. At this moment, he could even feel that the great treasure was waving at him.

Blood was flowing from S.Tsugukuni Yoshiichi's body, but the expression on Seraphim's face did not show any pain due to the injury.

He stared at Luffy for a long time, and then his body slightly bent.

Just when Luffy thought that the opponent was going to continue to attack, something seemed to be growing out of S-Tsujikuni Yoriichi's back.

Luffy stretched his head forward, wanting to see it clearly, but at this moment, S. Tsugakuin Yoshiichi was also lying on the ground.

The black wings began to soften and deform under Luffy's gaze. In just a few breaths, the pair of wings turned into two slender arms on the left and right. On the back of Satsuki Kuni Yoshiichirō, two more wings broke through the skin and grew out.

As S.Tsugumi Yoriichi stood up again, the S.Tsugumi Yoriichi in front of Luffy had turned into a monster with six arms.

Just as everyone was looking at S. Tsugakuni Yoriichi in surprise, Abel, holding several long swords in his hands and dragging his injured body, happened to come to the gate.

"As expected. It's not possible to resist the enemy by relying on energy saving mode."

"I don't know how much the fully-powered Seraph can imitate Mr. Jiguo's strength."

Seeing the appearance of S.T.J. Yoshiichirō at this time, Abel was not surprised. After muttering something, he threw the knives taken from the treasure house towards S.T.J. Yoshiichirō.

S Jiguo Yuanyi jumped lightly and caught all the knives thrown at him. As the scabbards were thrown on the ground, a six-armed swordsman blocked Luffy's way. The terrifying momentum made Luffy, who was originally happy, raise his eyelids slightly.
