Chapter 442

Fortunately,

Smog is a Logia user of the Smoke-Smoke Fruit.

He possesses flight ability.

His body turns into a mass of grayish-white smoke…

Smog leaps directly into the air, charging through the sky toward Mo Lisen.

"White Fist!"

He shouts loudly.

He launches a merciless attack against Mo Lisen.

"A Logia Smoke-Smoke Fruit?"

"Too bad…"

"My Swamp Fruit seems to perfectly counter your Smoke-Smoke Fruit."

"Today, you will die!"

"You will die within my Swamp World, becoming fertilizer for it."

Mo Lisen sneers.

Facing Smog's assault, he remains utterly unmoved.

In an instant…

His body turns into sludge.

In a flash,

Mo Lisen's figure dissolves into thin air, scattering downward.

A mass of sludge merges into the swamp beneath his feet.

Then,

A mass of sludge eerily rises slowly from beneath the swamp.

Gradually, it coalesces into a human silhouette.

When Mo Lisen reappears, he is already in the swamp region ten meters away.

Finally—

The sludge-formed figure reveals Mo Lisen's shape and face.

And in an instant, he returns to his original form.

Thus achieving…

Instant teleportation!

Using the swamp beneath his feet, Mo Lisen achieves the terrifying teleportation effect of shifting position!

This technique is impossible to anticipate,

Impossible to react to!

As Smog's attack misses,

He whips around swiftly,

And sees Mo Lisen appearing out of thin air.

Instantly,

Smog feels immense pressure, his face growing heavy with dread.

"Smog is in trouble!"

Including Tina's expression shifts slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with heaviness as she fixes them on Smog's opponent, the Logia Fruit user named Mo Lisen.

In just one glance, she realizes Smog is no match for Mo Lisen.

Because…

Their Logia Fruits are mutually countered!

"Smog's Logia Smoke-Smoke Fruit is countered by the opponent's Logia Swamp Fruit."

"It is well known."

"When Logia users fight, the decisive factor is whether one Logia Fruit counters the other."

"If neither fruit counters the other, victory depends on other methods."

"But right now, Smog's smoke ability is countered by the swamp. His chances of winning are likely extremely low."

As she says this, Including Tina cannot help but feel worried.

Her gaze sweeps aside,

And when she sees the young figure standing among the corpses beyond the battlefield,

In an instant,

Her inner worry vanishes.

"Good!"

"As long as he is here, even if Smog loses, he won't be in mortal danger."

Including Tina exhales silently.

She has unconditional trust in Lu En!

Even if the opponent is a Logia user, she does not believe that Logia user could be Lu En's match.

"If what Including Tina says is true…"

"Smog will definitely lose!"

"Smoke is perfectly countered by swamp."

"In this way, the power Smoker takes pride in as a Logia-type Devil Fruit user will be weakened by at least half in a straight line."

"This is troublesome!"

The faces of the trainees one after another were full of heaviness.

In the battlefield.

As a Swamp-Swamp Fruit user, Mo Lisen looked at Smoker, whose face was full of heaviness, with great interest, and said with a playful smile: "Care to consider surrendering? If I'm in a good mood, I might spare your life."

As a Logia-type Devil Fruit user…

Mo Lisen had not run into an opponent in this stretch of sea on the first half of the Grand Line for a very, very long time.

Even,

there wasn't a single enemy who could make him feel threatened.

As time went on,

Mo Lisen came to think

that, looking across the entire sea, his strength had almost reached the very pinnacle!

Possessing a Logia-type Devil Fruit, he was confident he would not lose to any top-tier powerhouse of the sea.

Even a Vice Admiral of the Marines…

or even an Admiral of the Marines!

Mo Lisen was also confident

that he would not easily lose to them.

Before ever witnessing the terrifying combat power of a Marine Admiral, Mo Lisen was blindly confident and proud of his own strength.

And now,

facing a Marine who looked like a mere fledgling like Smoker, Mo Lisen naturally felt victory was already in his grasp.

"The boss is as strong as ever!"

"A Logia-type user like our boss — looking across this stretch of sea, he can probably be called invincible!"

"That little Marine brat happens to be a user too, but unfortunately, his ability is countered by the boss."

"In this fight, that little brat is in for it."

One pirate after another watched Smoker with gloating delight.

At his side,

Cerberus Kulin, captain of the Cerberus Pirates, stared at Mo Lisen with eyes full of wariness.
