Chapter 634

"In this battle, if you win, the Navy will revoke all your bounties. You can still gallop on the sea as pirates, do whatever you want, and be the freest people in the world. The Navy will never obstruct any of your activities."

"However, if you lose, you must cooperate with all the Navy's work."

"This is a choice that determines your future destiny. Think about it yourself!"

After Karl finished speaking, he just looked at Luffy quietly, waiting for him to make a decision. Luffy would definitely agree; Karl was convinced of this.

Of course, this trick also works well on Luffy. If it were the likes of Big Mom or Kaido, they would definitely agree on the surface, but once it came time to fulfill the promise, they would deny it to the death.

At this moment, Luffy's brain was running at high speed. Various symbols, fonts, and formulas emerged in his mind, and the entire universe seemed to be wandering in his mind.

"Fine, I agree! I will definitely win this duel!!!"

Luffy showed a happy smile, as if victory was already in his grasp.

"Fine, then... let's begin!" As soon as he finished speaking, Luffy swung his arms like a helicopter and shouted loudly: "Gomu Gomu no... White Whip!"

Screech!

Accompanied by the shrill sound of breaking air, Luffy's white whip whistled over and hit Karl directly on the shoulder. Unfortunately, it hit nothing; Karl had already elementalized in advance, splitting his body in two and dodging Luffy's attack.

Taking advantage of the moment Luffy was off-balance, Karl decisively launched a surprise attack: "Ultimate Flash!"

Karl raised his left hand, and golden light gathered in his palm, completing the entire process of charging and firing in an instant.

Biu~

Luffy showed an exaggerated expression of surprise, his body twisting into a weird C-shape like a rubber band, actually dodging the attack range of the Ultimate Flash.

"Hiss! So hot, so hot, so hot!"

Karl couldn't help but click his tongue. This guy is really flexible! It's still better to fight clumsy guys like Big Mom and Kaido! Unfortunately, all the clumsy guys on the sea who are as durable as them have already been cleaned up by Karl.

Don't look at Luffy screaming, but his mindset at this time is one word: play!

"Hehe, now it's my turn! Gomu Gomu no... Black Mamba!!!"

Luffy retracted his fists into his hands, took a deep breath, and launched a storm-like attack at Karl. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary rubber machine gun, but this thing could turn in mid-air and track automatically. It's a move that really gives Newton a headache.

But no matter how flashy the move is, Luffy only has two fists. It's just because of the speed and the multiple turns that it looks like there are many fist shadows.

Karl tilted his head to dodge Luffy's right fist, and without waiting for the fist to turn back, he swung Raven around, pulling out a silvery-white blade light.

"Ah! So painful!"

Luffy felt the pain and quickly retracted his fist. Before he could do anything else, Karl flashed behind Luffy, raised his right leg high, and prepared to deliver an axe-style downward chop!

"Get down!"

But Karl didn't notice that Luffy, with his back to him, grinned and said happily: "Haha, you fell for it!"

Just as Karl's leg touched Luffy, Karl's leg turned into plasticine, soft as could be. The strike that should have been earth-shattering became completely ineffective, and Luffy took the opportunity to capture his physical form.

"Caught you, Uncle Karl!" Luffy gripped Karl's lower leg tightly with both hands, his body exerted force suddenly, and he swung Karl, whose entire body had been rubberized, into a noodle.

Karl's face turned black, and he couldn't help but wonder: Is this the Nika fruit? An ability that even Armament and Conqueror's Haki can't block?

Biu~

Karl was swung away, but his body had already broken free from the rubberization effect in mid-air. Karl decisively elementalized, forcibly breaking free from the inertia, and took out Raven to fire a dozen flying slashes at Luffy.

This time, Karl wouldn't fight Luffy in close combat no matter what.

"One-Sword Style: Jade Breaker!"

"One-Sword Style: Gold Destroyer!"

"Elbaf Spear: Ikoku!"

"Elbaf Spear: Hakoku!"

"Holy Arbitration!!"

Karl kept his distance like this, constantly launching flying slashes at Luffy, and their battlefield gradually shifted from the sky to the ground.

Luffy jumped around like a monkey, relying on his soft posture to dodge Karl's flying slashes, but how long could this last?

Karl admitted that in the Nika state, Luffy's strength was indeed very strong. At least in close combat, Karl couldn't think of a way to break free from the rubberization effect, and even purification couldn't purify it.

It seems Karl can only use awakening to counter awakening.

"Gomu Gomu no... Mole Pistol!"

Luffy shouted, slamming his fist into the ground. The ground in front was quickly rubberized, and then countless fists emerged, attacking Karl. Karl waved Raven without changing his expression, and a blade light flashed, cutting all these fists off at the root.

Then Karl disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of Luffy the next second, only this time Karl's whole body was shining with golden light.

Holy Arbiter form: The whole body turns into holy light, immune to physical attacks and ordinary fire and lightning damage. Can travel freely in the atmosphere at "sub-light speed." Under sunlight, physical strength and injury recovery speed increase by 500%, and possesses all abilities in human form.

It's somewhat similar to Luffy's Nika form, but Karl's holy light also has unique effects: physical strengthening, recovery strengthening, ultra-high temperature...

The most important one is that he can maintain his best state at any time, which is the constantly refreshing "purification" effect.

In this way, Luffy's rubberization domain is ineffective against him.

"Arbiter's Fist!" Karl raised his golden fist and smashed it onto Luffy's head. The speed was so fast that Luffy couldn't react at all.

Relying on the effects of 【Fish-Man Wrist Strength】 and 【Justice Bringer】, Karl successfully dealt a critical hit + true damage with this move.

"AAAAAAHHHH, so painful! How is that possible??"

After rolling on the ground a dozen times, Luffy rubbed his head, doubting his life. Why did Karl's fist hurt him? His awakened state hadn't disappeared! Also, why wasn't Karl rubberized like before?

Too many "whys." Luffy was too lazy to think about it. A hearty fight was what he wanted!

"Gomu Gomu no... Crow Cannon!"

Shoo shoo shoo~

Seeing this, Karl smiled slightly. It's not so easy to hit him now.

Karl in the Holy Arbiter form began to grow larger and disperse, and his whole person gradually turned into a phantom.

Luffy's attacks all missed! ===== CHAPTER 636 =====
