Chapter 772 Just a Loser! (2 in 1)

The flames on the battlefield behind him gradually dissipated, revealing two skeletons that had been mostly melted by the flames. The damage to the faces of the corpses was not too serious, and the faces of Rayleigh and Kozuki Oden could still be vaguely recognized.

In the face of Tsugaru Yoshiichi's multiple attacks, the old and frail Rayleigh and the greatly weakened Kozuki Oden were unable to organize an effective defense to resist Tsugaru Yoshiichi's attacks.

As the golden flames fell from the sky, the two of them were buried in the sea of ​​fire one after another, and their breath was completely gone.

The pirates who had been killed on the coast by Yoshiichi Tsugakuni before were not even left with their bodies under the burning of the golden flames. Yoshiichi Tsugakuni's flames were so hot and fierce that the lifeless bodies did not even emit a burnt smell until they were completely melted.

Apart from some large pits and knife marks left on the battlefield, there were no other signs of battle.

Even the blood river that had originally gathered into a stream had disappeared without a trace under the burning of Tsugumi Yoshiichirō's flames.

If it weren't for Luffy's body in front of Yoriichi Tsugakuni at this moment, this stretch of coast would seem as if nothing had happened.

"Luffy"

Yoriichi Tsugakuni's attack did not affect the Straw Hat Pirates. His target was clear: Straw Hat Luffy and the pirate forces surrounding him.

Although Sanji, Nami, Chopper and others are the founding members of the Straw Hat Pirates and Luffy's most solid partners, these guys are still different from ordinary pirates after all.

For Yoshiichi Tsugikuni, as long as he can get rid of Straw Hat Luffy and Rayleigh and others, the remaining Sanji and others will not have any impact on his overall situation at all.

Of course, leaving their lives behind was also a reminder for Yoriichi Tsugumi to himself that everything he did was not for the purpose of venting his selfish desires. If the people he killed could not make the world a better place, then Yoriichi Tsugumi's actions would be a failure.

Sanji and others stood on the outskirts of the battlefield, staring blankly at the ground in front of Tsugakuin. Looking at Luffy's appearance, they didn't even feel too much sadness in their hearts at this moment, but more of disbelief and confusion.

They simply couldn't believe that Luffy, who had been imagining the future with them not long ago, had died at the hands of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

All this happened so suddenly and so quickly that Sanji, Chopper and the others couldn't accept the reality.

Yoshikazu Tsugakuin stood there, staring quietly at the body of Straw Hat Luffy, but the long sword in his hand was not sheathed.

His observation Haki enveloped Luffy, and he could clearly sense that the vitality in Luffy had completely disappeared, but the strange thing was that in Yoriichi Tsugakuin's perspective of the world, Luffy's heart did not stop beating.

Although there was no vitality emanating from his body, Luffy's body was still moving.

"Not dead?"

Ji Guoyuan frowned slightly. He had never seen a situation like this before. People would die if they were killed. This was simply the most basic understanding of human beings.

But the Luffy in front of him, whose body had been cut into two pieces by Tsugakuin, didn't seem to be like this? !

Holding the long sword in reverse, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni grabbed the sword and stabbed it into Luffy's heart.

When Sanji saw this scene, his anger completely overwhelmed his reason. He let out a loud shout, and then without thinking, he rushed towards Tsugaru Yoshiichi.

He couldn't accept the reality that Luffy was dead, but what he couldn't accept even more was that Luffy's body was being insulted like this.

As Luffy's closest partner, Sanji has completely disregarded his own life at this moment.

"Boom-"

A strong heartbeat suddenly sounded, and it was so loud that not only the intuitive Yoriichi Tsugakuin heard it, but also Sanji who was flying towards Yoriichi Tsugakuin could hear it.

Suddenly, white flames ignited on Luffy's upper body, forming a fire shield in front of his chest, directly blocking Yoshiichi Tsugakuni's stab. At the same time, white flames also "flowed" out from the surface of the wounds on Luffy's upper and lower body.

As the two flames spread outward, they merged tightly together in the blink of an eye, in effect connecting the two halves of Luffy's body together.

"."

Yoshiichi Tsugakuni felt the stagnation coming from the sword in his hand, and as he watched the strange changes happening on Luffy's body, the expression on his face showed too much emotional fluctuation.

A strong wind whistled behind him. Without even turning his head, Jigokuen stretched out his left hand and directly grabbed Sanji's ankle, then slammed it to the ground beside him.

"boom!!!"

Sanji was smashed directly into the ground by Yoshiichi Tsugakuin, creating a huge human-shaped pit.

It was clearly an attack from the blind spot of Tsugakuni Yoriichi's perspective, and it was clearly an angry attack launched by Sanji with all his strength, but it was resolved so easily by Tsugakuni Yoriichi. The gap in strength was so huge that it could not be made up by anger and pride.

"Isn't it as simple as I thought?!"

As Tsugakuni Yoshiichi looked at the changes in Luffy's body, he murmured softly, as if to verify Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's words. Luffy's heart beat violently again, and this time, the sound of his heartbeat was like a beating war drum.

"Boom-thump-"

An extremely terrifying domineering aura emanated from Luffy's body. The strength of this domineering aura was even comparable to that of Yoriichi Tsugakuko. The domineering aura that overflowed from him rubbed violently against the air after it came into contact with the air, producing black and red lightning and muffled thunder exploding on the battlefield.

Ji Guoyuan flipped the long sword in his hand, and the domineering aura condensed on the long sword, and slashed directly at the white fire shield condensed in front of Luffy. However, the moment his long sword touched the fire shield, the two domineering auras collided with each other, and the extremely powerful force immediately turned into a terrifying shock wave, sweeping towards the surroundings.

Franky, Brook and others reacted quickly. They lowered their center of gravity to prepare for the new shock wave, while also grabbing the weaker Weiwei and Nami, protecting them under themselves to resist the domineering hurricane that swept out.

"Om-"

Bursts of thunder sounded on the battlefield, and Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's slash was actually blocked by the white fire shield in front of Luffy, leaving only a slash mark on the fire shield, which quickly disappeared with the flow of the flames.

And within just a few seconds, the two broken halves of Luffy's body were pieced together again with the help of the white flames, and the wound was healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Luffy, who had originally lost his breath, suddenly took a deep breath, and then his breathing gradually stabilized.

White flames wrapped around Luffy's body, allowing him to slowly "stand up" from the ground. The moment his life reappeared under the perception of Yoriichi Tsugakuin, Luffy's eyes suddenly opened and he looked at Yoriichi Tsugakuin in front of him.

The childishness and immaturity in Luffy's eyes had faded away, and there was an indescribable excitement in his eyes as he looked at Yoriichi Tsugakuni.

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Suddenly, Luffy opened his eyes again and burst into laughter. The terrifying domineering aura also rushed towards Tsugakuin Yoshiichi madly along with Luffy's laughter.

However, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni just looked up and glanced at Luffy who stood up again, and the domineering aura on his body condensed into substance, turning into a black particle lightning, and accurately counterattacked towards Luffy.

Although the pressure from the domineering color had condensed into substance, it was still pressure after all. The collision of the two domineering auras, apart from making the sky clearer, had no substantial impact on either party that released the domineering aura.

"I told you, we'll meet again!"

Luffy's voice was a little hoarse, and he suddenly spoke to Tsugakushi Yoriichi. His words also made Tsugakushi Yoriichi's mind flash back to a figure who had died in his hands.

The giant corpse that was used as a trump card by Im when he attacked the holy land was used to resist Tsugakuni Yoriichi. The voice and tone when he spoke were almost exactly the same as Luffy who stood up again in front of him!
Sometimes, Yuichiro Tsuchikuni doesn't need to recognize people by their appearance.

"Joey Boy?!" Looking at Luffy in front of him who was covered in white flames, the name that came out of Tsugikuni Yoriichi's mouth was not Luffy's name.

"Hahahahaha!"

“You still remember!”

Luffy, or rather Joyboy whose consciousness had taken over, laughed out loud again. He was extremely excited and happy when he heard Yoriichi Tsugakuin calling his name.

At this time, Nami, Brook and others also saw Luffy standing up again, but when they saw Luffy laughing cheerfully, they did not feel any joy in their hearts. On the contrary, because Luffy stood up again, Nami and others only felt that the Luffy not far away was extremely scary and creepy.

Combined with the conversation between Tsugakuni Yoshiichi and the other party, everyone understood that Luffy at this time might not be the captain of the pirate group they were familiar with.

"I really want to thank you!"

"If it weren't for you, it might have taken several years."

"This kid is really a talent. He actually successfully awakened the Nika Fruit. He is really outstanding!"

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

Luffy laughed out loud. At this moment, there was no trace of his dead companions in his eyes. Even when he looked at the remains of Rayleigh and Oden not far away, he just glanced at them roughly. There was no trace of grief or sadness in his eyes. On the contrary, the smile on his face did not fade at all.

"You guy."

"No. Luffy"

"Give Luffy back."

Sanji, who was smashed into the ground by Yoshiichi Tsugakuin, has not yet lost consciousness. Sanji also noticed the strangeness happening to Luffy.

Looking at Luffy's eyes without mercy and grief, Sanji's eyes became moist unconsciously. He stretched out his hand with difficulty, as if he wanted to grab Luffy's arm. His lips moved slightly, and he tried his best to say these words.

"Humph"

"I'm certainly not your captain"

"My name is Joey Boy!"

"Yes—the Sun God!"

Joyboy's will took over Luffy's body, and when he heard Sanji's words, his smile became even more unbridled.

Joy Boy raised his right hand slightly, and a white flaming spear quickly condensed in his hand. Then he grinned and stabbed directly at Sanji's heart.

This attack was actually intended to take Sanji's life directly!

"."

Sanji looked at "Luffy" stabbing at him with a gun, his vision unknowingly blurred by tears. He seemed to have sensed some shocking conspiracy, and felt very sad looking at Luffy's appearance at this moment.

He was not crying because his captain wanted to kill him. He was just crying because his most free and easy-going and freedom-loving captain seemed to have never obtained the so-called freedom.

"Joey Boy, don't you understand who your opponent is?!"

Just as Sanji's heart was about to be pierced by Joyboy, Tsugakuni Yoshiichirō suddenly appeared beside Sanji, and swung the long sword in his hand, directly cutting on the gun. Although he did not completely curb Joyboy's offensive, Tsugakuni Yoshiichirō's interference also caused the opponent's gun path to change, and it directly pierced into the ground beside Sanji.

The fatal attack had missed.

"Hey"

"Were you questioning me just now?!"

"Did I allow you to express your opinion?"

When Joy Boy saw that his attack failed, he raised his head and looked at Tsugakuni Yoshiichi with murderous intent in his eyes. His tone became extremely deep at this moment, but the smile on his face became even brighter, and the corners of his mouth were almost reaching his ears.

This kind of smile does not make others feel any happiness or joy. On the contrary, an inexplicable gloom and terror lingers in the hearts of Sanji and others. Looking at Luffy's appearance at this time, they feel an inexplicable fear from the bottom of their hearts.

They didn't know what had happened to Luffy at this moment, but they knew that the guy in front of them who would launch a fatal attack on Sanji was definitely not the Luffy they knew.

"."

At this time, Yuichi Tsugikoku was looking at the Joyboy in front of him with a serious face. The personality traits displayed by this guy who called himself Joyboy gave Yuichi Tsugikoku a very strong sense of disharmony.

capricious?!

Inaccurate.

Perhaps this is a kind of "freedom" that has developed to the extreme, so free that he will not listen to anything others say, so free that any action of others that is not pleasing to him will be labeled by him as "interference with my freedom."

Do whatever you want, everything you do depends on your own will and intention.

This extreme personality reminded Yoshiichi Tsugikoku of a creature that only existed in mythology - the devil.

The character traits displayed by this guy in front of me are no different from those of a devil!

Extremely selfish, extremely arrogant, and extremely presumptuous.

"turn out to be."

"This is the appearance of the Sun God..."

"hehe."

"It's really high and mighty!"

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi danced with his sword lightly, quickly bent down, grabbed Sanji, and threw him out of the battlefield.

When he looked at Joy Boy again, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"He's just a loser!"
