Reborn's unusual speed was indeed a remarkable feat, achieved through several factors, such as the enhancing bullets and his footwork. This allowed him to push his speed to its absolute limit, almost like an advanced version of Soru. While Soru involved precise and successive movements within 0.36 seconds, Reborn's technique was even harder to pull off, utilizing every ounce of strength in his legs and on top of Sun Flame's power.
It could be considered an advanced version of Soru, but it demanded not only immense physical prowess but also exceptional control over timing and the ability to perceive air flow to move efficiently. There might be no one else out there who could replicate this move.
"Your physical strength is quite impressive. If it were someone else, they might have been defeated by now," Reborn said calmly as he looked at Geno, who had only suffered a minor injury on his forehead.
Reborn didn't hold back in his previous attack, and it was a point-blank range shot, but to his surprise, Geno managed to defend against it in such a critical moment. It seemed that this 'Tekkai' ability wasn't as useless as he thought.
He heard that a CP0 agent was instantly defeated by Alaudi after using Tekkai, which made him question its effectiveness. However, it appeared that how potent it was varied on the individual. After all, Geno had successfully blocked his attack with Tekkai.
"Your explosive power is impressive, and your speed is remarkable. Even so, you're still no match against me. But I'll acknowledge your strength, and I won't let my guard down anymore anymore. This battle will soon come to an end," Geno said with a cold smile on his pale face.
Geno's figure then disappeared mysteriously, leaving behind cold air in his wake. He then reappeared in an instant with his ice claws aimed at Reborn's chest. The cold attack was so deadly that the battle would be over in an instant and if Reborn got hit.
But Reborn was well-prepared for Geno's attack. He smiled faintly and a powerful Sun Flame burst from within him, gathering on his left hand. After imbuing his left hand with Color of Arms Haki as well, he delivered a powerful punch!
Geno's pupils contracted slightly. He didn't expect that his opponent would have the courage to confront him head-on despite how terrifying was.
The temperature of Geno's attack dropped even further, nearing absolute zero. The eerie blue-cold light was exuded as it collided heavily with Reborn's punch.
At the moment of impact, it sounded like the clash of steel, and a layer of ice was immediately formed around Reborn's hand, forcing him to take a step back. While Color of Arms Haki and Sun Flame did protect him from most of the ice, some of it managed to get into his body, slowing down the blood flow in his left hand.
Seeing his opponent retreat, Geno instantly pursued! He left afterimages as he relentlessly attacked Reborn.
However, this time, Reborn had no intention of confronting him head-on. The overwhelming cold was too much even for him. So, as Geno launched his frenzied attack, Reborn concentrated on reading his opponent's movements to skillfully dodge Geno's attack.
"No wonder Alaudi set his eyes on him. His attacks are deadly and relentless!" Reborn couldn't help but sigh as he dodged Geno's attacks.
However, at this moment, he was slightly puzzled. Why did Geno keep trying to attack when he clearly couldn't hit him?
Even if he could drop the temperature to below zero because of his Devil Fruit ability, flaunting his power like that was excessively ineffective...
Wait a minute…
In that instant, Reborn's expression changed drastically. He understood why Geno had been throwing attacks at him relentlessly. Geno dropped the temperature around Reborn, and given enough time, the cold would enter his body, slowing down his movement, and at this rate...
Defeat was only a matter of time!
"Oh, you've noticed? But it's already too late!" Seeing the change in Reborn's expression, Geno also knew that Reborn knew what he was up to, but indeed, it was too late. He quickly mustered his strength, then swung his claws, launching icy wind blade at Reborn's chest!
Facing such an attack, Reborn eyes revealed a cold smile. He didn't dodge and even put away his pistol. He then crossed his hands in front of himself, as if he intended to block Geno's attack.
"Can you really block it?" A wicked smile appeared on Geno's face, but at the same time, he was a little wary. His opponent wasn't a fool, and he could sense that his opponent probably wouldn't do something that he wasn't certain would succeed.
Could it be that his opponent truly believed that he could block his attack with his Dying Will Flame and Color of Arms Haki to block his current attack?
"Now!" Suddenly, Reborn grinned and said softly.
Two golden rays of light were suddenly shot from the distance. They were bullets covered in Sun Flame that headed straight for Geno's heart.
Since he could read all of his opponent's movements and had calculated everything precisely from the beginning, Reborn knew what Geno wanted to do. He just played along with Geno and made it seem as if he was cornered, while in reality, he was just waiting for Geno to jump at him!
