Chapter 443

The two sides had long been partners.

But this was also the first time he had seen Mo Lisen make a move.

"He's strong!"

"This guy truly deserves to be a Great Pirate with a bounty of over a hundred million Berries from the Marines."

"Even looking across this sea, there are few who could be stronger than him."

"Today, this group of Marines must all die!"

Cerberus Kulin gnashed his teeth, hatred burning in his heart.

The Cerberus Pirates suffering near-total annihilation today naturally filled him with fury.

He had spent years of effort, finally managing to build the Cerberus Pirates up to their current state.

Who would have thought,

one misstep would become eternal regret.

In a single day, all his efforts were destroyed.

"I must kill every last one of them!"

Resentful Cerberus Kulin, brimming with killing intent, stared deathly at every Marine trainee present.

His gaze shifted,

and he looked toward Smoker on the battlefield.

In his view…

as long as Smoker was dealt with, the Marines present could basically be declared completely annihilated.

Smoker, this Logia user, was the most troublesome one!

As for Lu En, who was only five years old?

He was subconsciously overlooked by Cerberus Kulin.

Lu En was indeed very strong, but Cerberus Kulin did not believe that a mere five-year-old brat could stand against that Logia Swamp-Swamp Fruit user, Mo Lisen.

This was a true Great Pirate with a bounty of over a hundred million Berries!

At this moment.

On the battlefield.

Smoker felt tremendous pressure in his heart.

The suppression from the Devil Fruit made him feel a deep sense of helplessness.

Even from just a single clash, he had already realized the gap between them.

"I'm not this guy's match."

Smoker's face full of disbelief, he gritted his teeth and stared at Mo Lisen with a solemn and heavy expression.

Even though he knew he was no match…

he did not want to give up!

Thus,

Smoker launched another attack.

"Soru!"

The Soru of the Six Powers was unleashed, and at the same time Smoker's entire body transformed into gray-white smoke, charging toward Mo Lisen's position at terrifying speed.

"Coming again?"

"It seems I need to make you recognize the gap in strength between us."

"Kid…"

"Next, you'd better watch closely."

"A Logia Devil Fruit isn't used the way you use it."

Mo Lisen let out a cold laugh.

In an instant,

under his control.

Within a hundred-meter radius, the soil turned to swamp as a mass of mud surged forth rapidly; under Mo Lisen's control, this mud blotted out the sky as it sought to engulf Smoker's body.

"Not good!"

Smoker's face changed slightly.

He tried to escape.

But the mud seemed to have eyes of its own, tracking the direction of his escape.

Mud from all directions transformed into towering waves, reaching nearly ten meters high, crashing down viciously onto Smoker's body from above.

Like waves washing and pounding…

Facing this attack of mud, Smoker naturally did not dare to be careless.

His Smoke-Smoke Fruit was precisely countered by this swamp mud.

Once struck,

his elementalization would likely fail in an instant!

This was the effect of ability countering.

A countered Logia user could not even rely on elementalization to block the enemy's assault.

For example,

Smoker's smoke could not withstand Mo Lisen's swamp mud.

"Kid, die for me!"

Mo Lisen bared his teeth in a savage grin.

He opened his right palm, manipulating a massive wave of mud to slam viciously into Smoker.

At the same time,

an endless stream of mud flowed from his body, seeping into the swamp beneath his feet, making his entire body seem to melt like a candle.

A moment later,

Mo Lisen's body vanished once more.

The next second,

he had already appeared beside Smoker, his body transforming into a vast sheet of mud that enveloped Smoker's body, spreading out into a massive encirclement.

"Hahaha!"

"Little brat, you've lost!"

"Between Logia users, there is still an enormous gap in power."

"And you, quite obviously, still fall far, far too short."

Mo Lisen laughed wildly without end.

He seemed to have already anticipated it.

The scene of Smoker being wrapped in the mud he released, and thus completely swallowed into the swamp beneath his feet.

In an instant,

the mud swamp surging from below completely bound and locked Smoker's feet in place.

"Damn it!"

Smoker's eyelids twitched wildly as he felt an intense sense of crisis.

But with his feet severely restrained, his body could barely move.

Raising his head,

he still saw the mud crashing down like a tidal wave, blotting out the sky and earth.

And Mo Lisen standing beside him, watching like a tiger eyeing its prey.

At this moment,

Smoker realized his own fragility and insignificance.

Before a true Logia user, his mastery over his Devil Fruit ability was, in the end, still far too weak.

In this battle,

the Logia power he took such pride in…

couldn't even stir up a single ripple.

"Am I going to lose?"
