Chapter 334

A long silence.

All the students began to feel curious.

Will Simoge Society accept the challenge?

The opponent has even stated they won't use sea-stone weapons.

At this moment.

Given Simoge's proud nature, he should choose to accept the challenge and reclaim his honor, right?

This is a free victory!

Without the restraint and suppression of sea-stone…

Simoge is virtually invincible!

"You…"

Simoge stared at Lu En, equally shocked and speechless.

He too couldn't grasp the key issue.

He suddenly connected the dots.

Could this monster, Lu En before him, have found another way to counter Logia users—aside from sea-stone weapons?

Is that possible?

Aside from sea-stone, what other method can counter a user's elementization?

After much thought,

He arrived at an astonishing, terrifying hypothesis.

"Haki?!"

Simoge's face changed drastically.

He knew.

Haki exerts tremendous suppression over Logia users!

No!

More accurately,

Haki exerts suppression over all Devil Fruit users.

Even though he had never trained Haki himself, Simoge still understood and recognized it.

He knew.

Even setting sea-stone aside, Logia users are not truly invincible!

At least there exists a power called Haki that can effectively suppress users!

"Could it be…"

"This monster… he…"

Simoge stared at Lu En in shock.

But soon,

He quickly shook his head, forcibly suppressing that astonishing hypothesis.

"How long has this monster been away from Master Zefa?"

"Less than a few hours!"

"In such a short time, could he have mastered Haki—an extremely terrifying power?"

"Is that possible?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"In such a brief time, even if Lu En's talent is terrifying, he could never have mastered Two-Color Haki."

"Know this: even the most gifted geniuses require at least half a year of intense training to even touch the threshold of Haki."

"Yet this Lu En has only been exposed to Haki for a few hours at most."

Simoge took a deep breath and completely dismissed the astonishing hypothesis.

After a calm and analytical review…

He decisively rejected this possibility.

He firmly believed.

No one could master Haki within a few hours.

Throughout history,

Never once!

Never heard of!

Even for a monster as terrifying as Lu En…

He could never accomplish it!

Carrying these thoughts within him, Simoge took a deep breath and slightly calmed his emotions.

In his eyes, a flame of battle intent burned fiercely; he desperately longed to reclaim the dignity and pride lost after his defeat.

Raising his head,

He met Lu En's gaze directly and nodded without hesitation.

"Fine! I accept this battle."
