Chapter 624

"Next…"

"I will then give it my all."

Lu En's eyes flashed with sharp brilliance.

He retracted his right fist,

the power of Armament Haki surging into his fist.

In an instant,

another punch slammed out.

Boom—

A crushing punch unleashed boundless might, further compressing the scope of the sandstorm.

The sandstorm that had swept across the sky, originally spanning a dense diameter of over forty meters, had now been reduced by Lu En's two punches to just over thirty meters.

Moreover,

the hundreds-of-meters-tall sandstorm that had nearly pierced the heavens began to shorten.

It had shrunk to eighty meters tall.

The terrifying sandstorm seemed to bear clear signs of being steadily weakened and dispersed.

And all of this, naturally, was because of Lu En!

The third punch, Lu En unleashed another ear-splitting sonic boom.

At more than ten times the speed of sound…

He slammed it into the sandstorm.

With one punch,

the violent force seemed to shatter space, rippling the still air with waves of distortion, boundless might exploding at the sandstorm's core.

Boom!

Boom!

…

One thunderous crash after another.

As if the heavens themselves were being shattered and exploded.

Each deafening roar erupted wildly from within the sandstorm.

Lu En stepped on Moon Step,

raising his iron fist sheathed in black Armament Haki, relentlessly striking the massive sandstorm over and over.

Gradually,

under his gaze,

he could see that this so-called natural disaster was shrinking continuously.

Clearly,

it was being suppressed by the terrifying power he unleashed.

Human strength suppressing a natural disaster!

Lu En's unleashed power grew ever more terrifying.

And the sandstorm grew ever smaller.

At a visibly rapid pace.

From its initial scale capable of destroying heaven and earth, it had now shrunk to a mere fraction—so small it could barely even wipe out a village.

This, was Lu En's terrifying might.

Forcing human strength to suppress the sandstorm.

Continuously breaking and cutting apart the sandstorm's power.

Every punch that landed,

lowered the sandstorm's danger level by a portion.

Thus,

when Lu En delivered his twentieth punch,

the sandstorm's rank had lost the power to destroy a city.

Even,

it struggled immensely to destroy a single village.

Each of Lu En's punches unleashed world-shaking power that endlessly weakened the sandstorm.

A fist wrapped in Armament Haki…

Even a natural disaster must be suppressed!

"A natural disaster created by a Logia user?"

"Crocodile…"

"Now, you'd better watch closely!"

"I will shatter your inner pride with my own hands!"

"Your so-called invincible Logia Devil Fruit ability—before absolute power, it is just as fragile."

"Even,"

"the so-called divine authority, I, a mere mortal,

"can break it!"

"Shatter it utterly!"

Lu En smiled faintly.

Watching the sandstorm being continuously weakened.

Finally…

He threw his most critical punch!

An earth-shattering, unparalleled final punch slammed heavily into the core of the sandstorm.

Overwhelming and irresistible,

World-shattering!

Containing terrifyingly extreme force, it blasted the sandstorm apart and shattered it outright.

Boom—

Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar.

The sandstorm was completely blasted apart.

A natural disaster that originally possessed the power to destroy an entire city — at this very moment, was smashed apart and destroyed by Lu En with nothing but his bare fists.

With human strength, shattering a natural disaster!

【74】 The sandstorm that Crocodile had created…

He hurled his most critical punch!

Was forcibly smashed apart and destroyed!

"This, is human strength!"

"Feeble human strength…"

"Can likewise possess the power to destroy the heavens and the earth."

"Even when facing a natural disaster head-on, there is no fear!"

"Human strength, too, can triumph over a natural disaster!"

Lu En let out a great laugh.

Boom!

The sandstorm instantly exploded apart.

Transforming into countless shockwaves that surged toward every direction, blanketing the sky and earth.

The all-pervading yellow sand, swept up and dancing wildly in midair, also scattered down from the sky toward all directions.

Sand filling the sky,

Dancing gracefully.

The countless shattered rock fragments that had been crushed by the sandstorm had originally been revolving along with it.

But after the sandstorm was blasted apart and destroyed…

These broken rock fragments also rapidly plummeted down from midair one after another.
