Chapter 186

With this level of defense, Enel personally endured Kizaru's laser and CP0 chief's finger gun with his Thunder God body.

· ·········Request flowers·· ········

Then,

Enel stimulated his cells with electricity, unleashing astonishing speed like a thunderous beast as he charged toward Kizaru and CP0.

"Incredible speed!"

The CP0 chief was stunned, feeling it was faster than his Shave.

Kizaru was equally astonished.

His Mera Mera no Mi was renowned for speed, yet Enel's Gura Gura no Mi had somehow matched his own velocity.

Light and thunder truly are evenly matched.

With Zoro and Enel holding them off, Luo Xing moved unimpeded to the terrified Straw Hat crew.

"Don't you dare hurt our captain, you bastard! Devil's Foot!"

Sanji launched the first attack.

Luo Xing casually slapped him away, saying coldly:

"Out of respect for your sister, I'll spare you this time."

Sanji crashed heavily into the distant ruins, utterly dazed.

Sister?

Sanji had only one sister: Vinsmoke Reiju.

Could it be that this guy had been to the Germa Kingdom and had ties to the Vinsmoke scoundrels?!

Sanji being effortlessly flung away made the remaining Straw Hats even more terrified.

Because Sanji was among their top three strongest fighters!

Straw Hat Luffy clenched his fists tightly, filled with frustration and rage.

He raged at his own weakness!

He was utterly powerless against such a strong opponent!

Luo Xing's voice was cold:

"Straw Hat kid, right now, we have no personal grudge. I'm not killing you out of hatred—I just want to test whether the Sun God's life is truly that resilient."

Straw Hat Luffy roared:

"What nonsense are you spouting! What Sun God?! I'm the man who's going to become Pirate King!"

Luo Xing chuckled, remembering Doflamingo.

Yamato slowly raised:

"The last man who screamed he'd become Pirate King in front of me is now nothing but ashes."

Vast Haki was absorbed by Yamato.

Black lightning flowed through the air.

This was Haki entanglement!

Lei Li's pupils shrank in shock, his heart in a frenzy.

Was the Five Emperor Luo Xing about to kill Luffy with the ultimate Haki-wrapped sword technique?

Was Luffy doomed to die?!

Lei Li abandoned his stalemate with Zoro and unleashed his own Haki entanglement, blasting Zoro away violently.

Without pause, he charged toward Luo Xing, shouting:

"Stop! If you want to fight, fight me!"

As the right-hand man of Pirate King Gol D. Luo Jie, the Dark King Lei Li naturally knew Haki entanglement—nothing surprising there.

But given Lei Li's aged body now, using Haki entanglement was far from easy.

Like Whitebeard at Marineford, he could barely use Haki at all, let alone Haki entanglement.

In the World of Pirates, the only one who didn't weaken with age was probably Luffy's grandfather, the Navy hero Iron Fist Karp.

After using Haki entanglement once, Lei Li's speed had dropped drastically.

He could not possibly reach Luo Xing before the sword technique was unleashed.

At this critical moment,

Revolutionary Army officer and former Seven Warlords of the Sea, Bartholomew Kuma, used his Nikyu Nikyu no Mi ability to instantly teleport in front of Luo Xing, blocking him from Straw Hat Luffy.

Kuma extended his hands, covered in soft pads, clearly intending to deflect Luo Xing's sword technique.

Luo Xing's expression remained cold as he softly spoke:

"Hell Cross Slash!"

Two black sword beams, like blades from hell, shot forth!

161. Earth-shattering! Haki entanglement vs Haki entanglement! Precursor to the Nika Fruit awakening!

Two X-shaped black sword beams, trailing black lightning, pierced the air and struck Kuma's padded palms.

Kuma was horrified.

His pads, which could bounce back anything, had failed—they could not deflect Luo Xing's cross slash.

"This slash is wrapped in Haki. Devil fruit abilities cannot do everything."

"On this sea, only Haki reigns supreme."

Luo Xing's calm voice answered Kuma's confusion—and deepened his terror.

This man's Haki was terrifyingly powerful.

Even the Four Emperors couldn't surpass this!

Clang!

The black sword wave actually sliced open the bear's palm, and the bear was knocked flying.

Straw Hat Luffy would not willingly wait to die; he used Gear Third to lift a huge rock for defense.

But the huge rock was nothing but paper in the face of the sword wave, shattering instantly.

In the shocked gazes of the crowd, the Purgatory Cross Slash struck Straw Hat Luffy's chest!

"Ah!!"

Straw Hat Luffy let out a scream of agony.

His body, like a kite with a broken string, was thrown far away.

Straw Hat Luffy's rubber body, while able to resist physical attacks like bullets, is extremely vulnerable to slashing attacks.

Clearly visible on Straw Hat Luffy's chest was a huge "X"-shaped wound.

Fresh blood gushed out from it, splashing onto the ground.

His eyes had already turned white, and his face was utterly devoid of color.

Straw Hat Luffy landed on the ground a thousand meters away and never rose again.

"Luffy!!!"

The Straw Hat crew members were horrified, their eyes filled with despair.

"Is Luffy dead? No way! Luffy is the man who will become the King of the Pirates; how could he die!"

Usopp could not believe it.

But Luffy's motionless body made his hope shatter bit by bit.

"No, Luffy will definitely not die!"

Sanji, who had previously been slapped away by Luo Xing, rose from the ruins and struggled toward Luffy.

Huang Yuan, who was fighting Enel, also turned his gaze that way.

"The Rampage at Enies Lobby, the Straw Hat brat Monkey D. Luffy, whose fame is at its peak, seems to have reached his end as well."

"But it is strange; why would a major figure of the New World like the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing deal such a lethal blow to a pirate rookie like Straw Hat Luffy?"

Although Straw Hat Luffy's bounty has already reached three hundred million, in the face of top-tier powerhouses like Huang Yuan and Luo Xing, he is still nothing but a rookie.

Similarly,

Supernovas like Kid, Hawkins, and Drake are also nothing but rookies at this moment.

On the other side.

Silvers Rayleigh, who failed to stop Luo Xing in time, was already furious, his eyes bloodshot.

His pupils were filled with blood vessels; since Luo Jie's death, Rayleigh had never been this angry!
