Chapter 311

Smoker involuntarily sucked in a breath, his eyes darting wildly, trying to pinpoint Lu En's whereabouts and traces to avoid a sudden attack.

Before Smoker could react,

Lu En stepped on Moon Step, standing suspended in midair.

From high above, he kicked down several times at Smoker.

Six Powers: Tempest Kick activated!

Each kick unleashed a series of slashing strikes.

Descending from the heavens!

Shhh!

Shhh!

Numerous brilliant pale-blue slashing strikes slashed down fiercely upon Smoker's body.

Boom—

Accompanied by continuous thunderous roars.

Deafening as thunder,

Ear-splitting.

The entire battlefield shattered and collapsed under the bombardment, echoing with loud, crashing sounds.

Crack!

Crack!

The ground cracked open, emitting a shrill, glass-shattering sound.

The earth was forcibly pierced through,

Jagged fissures spread everywhere like a spiderweb.

Thick clouds of dust rose in swirling columns.

Then,

As the dust began to clear,

Smoker's figure appeared, utterly unharmed.

He lifted his head, gazing up at Lu En, then instantly turned his body into smoke, propelled by the smoke to surge straight upward, aiming to engage Lu En in aerial combat.

"It seems…"

"Without a Sea Stone weapon, I can't defeat you."

"What a pity."

"If I could choose, I truly wouldn't want to use a Sea Stone weapon!"

"For me, this is the greatest humiliation!"

"Defeating an enemy with external aid is, in my view, utterly dishonorable."

Watching Smoker charge toward him, Lu En couldn't help but shake his head, his voice filled with regret.

But now, there's no choice!

Before mastering Armament Haki…

To fight a Logia user, only Sea Stone can be used!

There is no second viable option.

A Logia user's elementization is an unsolvable technique for most people!

"White Snake!"

Smoker roared.

His right fist transformed into a cannonball, propelled by the smoke from his Smoke Fruit, hurtling at terrifying speed toward Lu En high above.

"Shave!"

Lu En, stepping on Moon Step, vanished instantly from midair.

Yet,

The moment he reappeared, Smoker's fist—like a guided missile—still chased after his exact location, never losing track.

"Hm?"

Seeing the pursuing fist, Lu En looked astonished.

Then,

He tilted his body slightly, dodging again.

But…

Before striking his body, the fist that had just passed by his side suddenly reversed direction, flipping around to strike from behind him.

"It tracks?"

Lu En's eyes narrowed slightly.

Immediately,

A faint smile appeared on his face.

Right then,

He stopped dodging, slowly raised his right arm, opened his right palm, and reached out without hesitation to grasp the incoming fist.

With that thought,

Boom—

An unparalleled surge of power erupted instantly from within him, surging through his organs and concentrating entirely in the palm of his right arm.

"Iron" "Nine Five Three" "Blocks!"

Lu En instantly activated the Six Forms' Iron Block, channeling all his power into the palm of his right hand, until his entire right hand seemed to transform into unbreakable steel.

He gripped down hard on Smog's incoming fist.

Boom!

The fist struck Lu En's palm, unleashing a violent surge of force that slammed into his right palm, intent on crushing his right arm on the spot.

Under the impact, the ground beneath Lu En's feet cracked and collapsed at any moment.

Boom—rumble!

The entire earth sank downward.

Crack!

Crack!

Around him, the ground emitted crisp, melodious cracks.

The earth fractured.

The soil collapsed.

In an instant,

Smoke and dust rose in swirling tendrils,

Dust swirled in all directions.

Lu En clamped his single hand tightly around Smog's fist, his expression unchanged throughout, as calm and unruffled as ever.

Only the deep, nearly half-meter depression beneath his feet revealed the immense force that had struck his body.

Yet, with the power of Iron Block reinforcing him, he effortlessly dissipated the damage the force had inflicted on his body.

"That's it?"

Lu En smiled.

The next second,

he squeezed hard, intending to crush the fist in his palm into pulp.

However,

as he applied slight pressure to crush the fist in his palm,

Puff!

A soft sound.

The fist dissolved into a cloud of smoke, slowly fading into the air.
