Chapter 337

"Next…"

"Watch closely!"

Whoosh!

A soft sound.

Lu En's body tore through the long sky, as if shattering the currents of space itself.

A piercing sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

He vanished.

Disappeared on the spot, out of thin air.

"Not good!"

Seeing this, Smoker's face changed drastically.

But just as he was preparing to react—

Lu En's figure had already appeared behind him, out of thin air.

It looked like teleportation!

In truth, it was merely the Soru of the Six Powers pushed to its absolute limit, producing the visual illusion of teleportation.

But, to the weak—

It was teleportation!

"Before, I only managed to take you down by using a Seastone weapon. That's always stuck in my craw."

"I absolutely hate defeating my enemies by relying on outside help."

"Unfortunately, last time I did use a Seastone weapon to beat you. In my eyes, that's nothing to brag about—on the contrary, it's the greatest shame of my life."

"I've defeated countless opponents, and not once did I rely on outside help."

"Only against you did I resort to a Seastone weapon."

Lu En's voice drifted flatly into Smoker's ear, lingering there.

In an instant—

Gooseflesh erupted all over Smoker's body, his hair standing on end in horror.

A chill shot from the soles of his feet straight to the crown of his head.

A cold dread seized him!

From the moment Lu En appeared, he hadn't even had a chance to react.

The opponent's movements were far too fast!

Too fast for the naked eye to catch!

Fast to the absolute limit!

Smoker couldn't even imagine it.

Someone only four years old had actually cultivated Soru of the Six Powers to such a degree.

Far too astonishing!

"The Six Powers I've mastered and the Six Powers this monster Lu En has mastered are simply not on the same level at all."

"It's as if…"

"The Six Powers I cultivated are the lowest grade."

"While this monster Lu En cultivated the highest grade of the Six Powers!"

Smoker's mind was shaken to its core.

He finally realized.

It turned out…

The same technique, in different people's hands—

Produced entirely different effects.

And the strength they could unleash was worlds apart!

For example—

The Navy's Six Powers!

The same technique…

Yet on his own body, compared to Lu En's, the difference was like night and day.

"Now, I can finally wipe away that old disgrace."

Lu En let out a laugh.

Those words fell into Smoker's ears, making him unable to stop himself from cursing inwardly.

Wipe away the old disgrace?!

Aren't you directing that line at the wrong person?

Please!

The one who lost last time was me!

Have you got it backwards?

It was me who was crushed by you!

Not you who lost to me!

And now—

You actually want to wipe away an old disgrace?

You're simply acting like no decent person at all!

He had clearly already won once before (cjde), and now, striking a second time, he still kept loudly proclaiming he would avenge his previous defeat...

That monster is truly detestable!

Smoker cursed inwardly, yet was utterly helpless.

He had already realized.

Next...

What kind of fate would he meet.

After all.

The opponent had even brought out Armament Haki.

Did he truly have the right to shake the opponent?

He did not.

When the opponent was wielding a sea-prism stone weapon, he was no match at all.

Let alone...

Now the opponent had even mastered Haki.

That was an entirely different matter.

"That guy Lu En..."

"Is truly a monster!"

Smoker gnashed his teeth.

At this moment.

A sudden chill blew across his back.

Smoker's whole body went cold.

Then,

Lu En's right hand, coated in a black Armament Haki armor, had already seized Smoker's nape with perfect accuracy, firmly pinning the opponent's body in place.

At this instant,

His elementalization failed!

The elementalization Smoker took such pride in had now completely lost its original effect in Lu En's grasp.

The supposedly unsolvable elementalization...

Had been broken by Lu En in a single encounter!

In the face of Armament Haki, so-called elementalization was utterly worthless.

"I have to tell you, much to my regret."

"Smoker, you've lost."
