Chapter 652: Frontal Defeat, the Power of Gear 4! (Two in One)

Seraphim is a man-made man created by Vegapunk, but he does not have rich emotions like normal humans.

The personality traits of Seraphim are often the external manifestation of the bloodline factor he uses. S-Abel, who was created using Abel's bloodline factor, has very weak perception of emotions.

If it were an ordinary person, when he noticed the actions of the Straw Hat Pirates, he would naturally understand that the other party intended to evacuate.

But S-Abel really couldn't sense this emotion. His eyes were always locked on Luffy, and he didn't care about the other Straw Hat Pirates at all.

With all his strength, the power of S-Abel's artificial body was also rapidly heating up, and a faint blush appeared on his dark face, and the whole person looked very excited.

"Boom--"

After a sudden light sound, the blazing fire wrapped around the blade in S-Abel's hand. This sound also attracted Luffy's attention. He quickly looked in the direction of S-Abel. Seeing the flames in the enemy's weapon, Luffy's face also showed a surprised expression.

"Burning???"

This kind of fighting skills is not the first time Luffy has seen it. Let alone his brother who ate the Flame-Flame Fruit, among his current partners, there are people like Sanji who can "enchant" their feet when kicking at high speed.

However, there is obviously a huge difference between the "enchantment" methods of S-Abel and Sanji. Sanji's Devil Wind Kick is at least a short-term effect after intense friction with the air, but the way the white-haired boy in front of him uses fire is more like Ace's Flame-Flame Fruit.

It looks like a devil fruit.

Luffy doesn't know how powerful the opponent can produce after "enchanting" the weapon. All he can do is to go all out to deal with the enemy in front of him.

And Luffy is not the kind of person who likes to sit and wait for death. Before S-Abel makes a move, Luffy chooses to take the initiative to attack.

"Bang Bang——"

A series of rapid sonic booms sounded in succession on the battlefield. Luffy's feet were like the thrusters of a fighter jet, causing Luffy's figure to fly through the air and shoot quickly towards S-Abel not far away.

"Rubber Jet Snake Cannon!!!"

As Luffy's roar rang out on the battlefield, the crimson fist shadows formed dense "trajectories" in the air. The next moment, the huge fists directly blasted towards S-Abel.

Luffy knew very well that he did not have an absolute advantage in speed. In fact, the opponent's absolute speed could be faster than his own.

But Luffy was indeed full of confidence in his own strength. In the snake man form, his fist force was even stronger than in the third gear form. With the help of strong and domineering, Luffy's attack power was enough to threaten anyone on this sea.

When training at the Marine Headquarters, Sengoku once commented on Luffy's attack power in the snake-man form: "Very good, even I need to deal with it seriously."

This is what Sengoku said to Luffy, and this sentence is actually one of the sources of Luffy's confidence in being able to go out to sea on his own. At the same time, it was this sentence of Sengoku that made Ace and Sabo, the two brothers, feel relieved about Luffy and let him go out to sea to pursue his dream.

If Sengoku knew that Luffy's escape from the Marine Headquarters was also related to him, I wonder if he would regret praising Luffy's fighting power.

Luffy's attack is unpredictable, and the combat experience read by S-Abel also tells him that he cannot retreat at this time, so as not to put himself in a passive situation of being beaten.

Facing an enemy like Luffy, taking a step back will become a step back.

As long as S-Abel chooses to dodge, the opponent's attacks will continue to attack him, making him overwhelmed and losing the ability to counterattack.

Therefore, the best way to face this situation is to break force with force.

"Flame Emperor!!!"

Since S-Abel appeared, this was the second time Luffy heard the man speak.

The Flame Emperor's tone sounded a little cold to Luffy, and he could not feel any emotion in his words.

However, the opponent's attack was completely different from his words.

The hot breath rushed to his face, and in the blink of an eye, S-Abel's slash had already collided with Luffy's fist.

The collision of the two people's domineering auras directly formed a hurricane, sweeping around, and the raging flames were centered on Abel and poured down towards the surrounding buildings.

In the bay, under the burning of the Flame Emperor's flames, the sea water evaporated a thick white water vapor, which directly enveloped the entire battlefield, and several nearby buildings were also directly destroyed by the flames, turning into scorched earth and ruins.

Fortunately, the crew members of the Straw Hat Pirates ran fast and evacuated outside the battlefield early, avoiding being affected by the movement of the two people fighting.

The fishmen navy outside the field also looked at the battlefield with worried eyes, and their hatred for the pirates increased.

It can be expected that this battle will cause huge property losses to the people nearby, and even ordinary people in places they don’t know about may have been affected by the battle. Naturally, the fishmen navy also put the blame on the pirates.

And more importantly, the enemy’s strength was beyond their expectations.

I thought that the arrival of Seraphim would quickly capture the pirates and calm down the battle, but I didn't expect that this group of pirates was so powerful that they could compete with Seraphim and cause such a commotion in the city.

This time, the operation to capture the pirates, no matter what the final result is, has actually been considered a failure.

If Shark Star knew that this group of pirates was so strong, he would never choose to fight with them in the city.

And if Jinbei knew that the Straw Hat Pirates were so strong, he would not just send a colonel of Shark Star's level to deal with it, but would choose to go there with Seraphim himself.

Since Luffy showed his terrifying strength, the mistakes of the new navy in decision-making were doomed.

"Vice Admiral."

Just when Luffy and Seraphim were fighting, the Den Den Mushi in Shark Star's arms suddenly moved.

When he picked up the phone, he found that the caller was actually his immediate superior, the base commander Jinbei.

"Are you in the Mermaid Cafe? What happened? What's the noise?"

"Is there an enemy fighting S-Abel?"

It turned out that the explosion that just happened in the Mermaid Cafe had been noticed by Jinbei from the New Naval Base.

The Mermaid Cafe was originally in the central area of ​​Fishman Island, not too far away from the naval base, and Jinbei's observation Haki was outstanding. It was difficult for him not to sense such a big noise even if he wanted to.

After quickly reporting the situation at the Mermaid Cafe, the Den Den Mushi soon fell into a busy tone.

It's no wonder that Jinbei, who has a strong sense of responsibility, will definitely rush to the scene quickly after hearing the news.

Shark Star put away the Den Den Mushi and sighed leisurely, with a little unwillingness and guilt on his face.

He was deeply ashamed of his weakness. If he could become stronger, he wouldn't need Jinbei to work so hard, and he would be able to help the Seraphim quickly suppress the pirates here and minimize the losses of ordinary people.

Shark Star didn't have this feeling very strongly before.

Because he is the prince of Ryugu City, Jinbei still treats him well even after he joined the new navy. When assigning tasks, he will only let Shark Star take charge of relatively safe tasks.

This time, Shark Star will be sent to lead the team to capture the Straw Hat Pirates because the captain of the pirate group only has a bounty of 10 million Baileys, and the highest bounty of his crew is only 2 million Baileys. Pirates of this level are not even considered a big name in this vast ocean.

This is an opportunity to give Shark Star credit

In the years of military service, Shark Star has indeed encountered some difficult opponents, but no opponent has ever made him feel so powerless as he does now.

The appearance of the Straw Hat Pirate Ship also stimulated Shark Star's already strong self-esteem.

"Boom!!!"

There was another loud roar in the thick white water vapor, and the strong domineering aura stirred up, instantly dispersing the water mist covering the battlefield.

In the battlefield, the figures of Luffy and Seraph flew back a hundred meters together.

Luffy rolled several times in the air before he managed to stabilize himself.

S-Abel also flew back a hundred meters, flapping his wings behind him to stop the retreat. In the battle of strength, Luffy actually had the upper hand.

However, Luffy's condition had deteriorated seriously at this time. The intense consumption of domineering made him feel a strong sense of weakness, and his breath became a little rapid and disordered.

As for S-Abel, apart from a little redness on his skin, Luffy had no way of knowing whether the opponent's combat power had declined.

On the contrary, Luffy's superficial physical condition made S-Abel keenly aware of the appearance of the fighter.

"Swoosh!"

The Seraph, who had just stabilized his body, didn't want to give Luffy a chance to breathe. He flapped his wings and shot towards Luffy. The blade in his hand also left a flame path in the sky.

Fire Dragon Emperor!!!

The two were a hundred meters apart, and the Seraphim swung the blade in his hand and slashed at Luffy in the distance. A nearly 100-meter-long fire dragon shot out directly in the sky and condensed. As the Seraphim's long sword fell, the 100-meter-long fire dragon roared and pounced on Luffy.

The terrifying offensive directly illuminated the sky of Fishman Island red. At the moment when the Seraphim attacked Luffy, countless people on this island clearly saw the strange phenomenon in the sky.

On a certain street, Jinbei, who was rushing towards the Mermaid Cafe, also noticed this scene in the sky. He just looked up and quickened his pace, and buried his head on the road.

In fact, even Jinbei did not fully understand the power of the Seraphim, but the domineering power contained in the Fire Dragon King's attack made Jinbei feel very familiar.

Jinbei is also familiar with Vice Admiral Abel of the New Marine Headquarters. He understands that this attack was launched by Seraphim. The enemy that Seraphim can use its performance to this extent must be very powerful.

On the battlefield.

The figure of the fire dragon is reflected in Luffy's pupils. This terrifying attack makes Luffy feel a strong sense of familiarity.

Facing the full-strength attack of Seraphim, Luffy not only did not show any fear, but his face showed a strong excitement.

"Such an attack"

"It's far worse than Ace!!!"

Luffy said this calmly, but it's unclear how much truth there is in these words and how much is to cheer himself up.

Maybe S-Abel's attack can't be compared with Ace of the Flame-Flame Fruit, but such an attack is definitely not something Luffy can easily take on with his current strength.

"Rubber King Cobra!"

Luffy's fist stretched back rapidly, and his domineering arm stretched out a long horizontal line in the sky, which could not be seen at a glance.

Seeing the fire dragon approaching, the stretched arm was also quickly withdrawn. With a roar from Luffy's mouth, this fist directly hit the fire dragon's head.

After the two attacks were held for less than 1 second, the huge fire dragon was actually blasted away by Luffy's fist.

"BOOM!!!!"

With a loud roar, the body of the fire dragon exploded directly in the sky. Luffy's fist penetrated the body of the fire dragon and shot towards S-Abel in the distance. Then he hit S-Abel's chest directly and knocked S-Abel down from the air.

As a Seraphim, S-Abel didn't understand why he was defeated by the opponent until he was hit by Luffy's attack.

It was obvious that he had a slight advantage in the battle with the opponent before. Whether it was speed or strength, the opponent was not absolutely sure to suppress him. But at this moment, when he went all out, he was not only broken by the opponent, but also hit directly by the opponent's attack.

The moment the powerful force was transmitted to his body, S-Abel's brain fell into hibernation in order to protect himself.

S-Abel's body spun and fell from the air, and then fell heavily on the ground, smashing a deep pit. In the deep pit, golden flames quickly ignited, wrapping the entire body of the Seraphim.

At the same time, Luffy, who had launched the strongest attack, was completely exhausted. Seeing the enemy being knocked to the ground by himself, Luffy's face also showed a relieved smile, and then stretched his body and let his body fall to the ground.

"Hahaha!"

Luffy laughed heartily, and he could clearly feel that he had made a new breakthrough in this battle.

To be honest, when facing the Fire Dragon King, Luffy recalled his sparring with Ace. Facing Ace's Great Flame Ring, no matter how hard Luffy tried, he could not break through the opponent's attack.

But now, Luffy believes that he can successfully resist even against Ace's Great Flame Ring.

"Bang!!!"

Luffy's body fell to the ground, but as he is now, he will not be affected by this level of impact at all.

Luffy, who fell to the ground, lay in the pit with his legs spread out, breathing heavily and recovering his strength quickly.

Next, just leave here and keep up with his companions.

Thinking of his companions, Luffy climbed up from the pit with difficulty after a short rest, ignoring the fishmen navy watching the battle, and walked straight to the direction where Sanji and others left.

Facing Luffy who stood up and left, the fishmen navy clearly noticed Luffy's weakness, but under the pressure of the opponent's power, they did not dare to stop him.

Hello, Shark Star silently took out a box from his arms, poured out a pill from it, and prepared to take it.

"Fishman Karate·Water Strike!"

And just when Shark Star was ready to fight to the death, a water bullet flew through the air and hit Luffy's arm while he was running, knocking Luffy to the ground with one blow.
