Chapter 1045 - Shichibukai!

Hearing this, Luffy was relieved and said with a smile, "What? Aren't you Kaido's subordinate? Do you want to challenge Kaido? That won't do. I want to defeat Kaido first!"

William did not say anything. He just stretched out his hand and the arm turned into a steam column and flew towards Lu.

Luffy's head turned to the side and he directly dodged the column of steam.

William sneered. The front end of the steam column that rushed over suddenly turned and the steam column rushed straight to the back of Luffy's head.

Luffy didn't even look at it. His entire forearm floated up with Haki and he directly raised his fist and leaned back.

Bang!

The steam column was blown into mist and covered the space around Luffy with some water. The remaining steam column shrank back and gradually condensed into William's hand.

Luffy pressed his straw hat and smiled.

William clenched his fist and frowned. He looked at Luffy with a rare seriousness in his eyes. "The internal destruction of Haki?"

His hand was very numb now. If it wasn't for the fact that he was alert when Lu Fei punched just now and directly contracted his body, even so, the fist made his fist numb and the inside of his palm felt as if it had been stirred.

That level… is Haki's 'internal destruction'.

Luffy bared his teeth and said, "Hee hee, this is the advanced application of 'Liu Ying'!"

William drew the western sword from his waist and held it horizontally. A ball of steam rushed out of the blade, and then the inside of the steam was dyed black.

"What do you mean by Flowing Cherry Blossoms…"

William snorted and swung his sword forward. "Train Cut!"

Buzz!

The white steam was in the shape of a slash, but it was covered by the Haki inside, directly forming a black slash like a crescent moon. At the moment when the slash appeared, the high temperature accelerated the speed of the slash and quickly cut into the Straw Hat Gang.

Luffy opened his eyes and directly raised his thumb and blew in, covering his arm with Haki and adding a touch of red. His forearm shrank to his upper arm like a spring, aiming at the rapidly flying slash, and a stream of white gas directly sprayed out of his fist.

"Rubber Rubber Ape King Fire Fist!"

Bang!!

The contracted fist suddenly shot out and directly collided with the air, bringing out a ball of flames. The flames wrapped around the huge fist and the fist smashed fiercely against the high-speed attack. The fist did not come into contact with the attack, as if there was an invisible armor blocking it, colliding with the attack.

Crack!

After a while, cracks suddenly appeared on the flying slash and gradually expanded.

Boom!

Luffy's fist suddenly moved forward, and his fist directly rushed in and shattered the slash. The huge wind pressure blew around with heat, and the powerful wind pressure blew down a group of pirates who had formed a circle nearby and directly fell into the sea. But soon, the pirates on the ship reacted and threw out ropes for them to climb up.

"Hehehe!" Luffy bared his teeth, took back his hand and said to William, "It's nothing."

William narrowed his eyes. "As expected of the fifth emperor. Although he talks a lot, his strength is indeed good."

Logia naturally can't cover nature with Haki, but swordsman is different. He can shake off steam as if it is a chop, and he himself can cut, so steam provides more impact and heat. Coupled with the chop, it is as impactful as a high-speed train, and William's Haki's chop has internal destruction.

After half a year of battle, his abilities have also grown a lot. He also knows how to use such a domineering slash.

He just didn't expect that this guy's aggressiveness is not weak. It seems that he is not just boasting.

"I've grown a lot!" Luffy smiled and said, "I won't lose again!"

For half a year, he has been fighting with the subordinates of Kaido and Charlotte Lingling. Coupled with the guidance of Hyogoro, his growth is rapid. "Ryuubetsu" can not only be released but also "destroy" and above that, there is another move…

After the collision, William and Luffy looked at each other and stopped fighting. Instead, the others began to move.

"Death Cross!"

Elmira was the first to attack. The two guns crossed and shook, shaking out a large number of bullets.

"Fishman Karate-Tanakusa Shōken!"

Jinbe rushed forward, raised his fist, and directly hit a shock wave in front of him, directly blowing away those bullets.

"With me here, no one can sneak attack Luffy!" Jinbe shouted.

"Qiping?"

Elmyra said lightly, "No one will do that sneak attack. Our Captain is very interested in your Captain. As for you…"

"Leave it to me!!"

A figure jumped into the air and with a loud shout, Mont Blanc jumped into the air with his legs raised high.

"Diamond Shatter!!"

His legs were stained with Haki, and under Mont Blanc's ferocious eyes, he chopped down like a battle axe.

Jinbe's pupils shrank, his hands were fixed in a cross shape and he blocked directly, "Plum Blossom Skin!!"

Clang!!!

The battle axe fell and hit Jinbe's arm, bringing a huge shock wave to the surroundings. Even the deck under his feet shattered at this moment, directly breaking a big hole and pressing Jinbe into the water.

This is not an ordinary deck. Because it is a specially connected combat field, except for the wooden deck on the surface, there are high-thick steel plates inside!

However, the aftermath of this battle was directly penetrated…

After Montblanc's foot fell, he jumped into the air with the help of the force. His feet kicked up and he directly stepped on the air and bounced a few times. His body suddenly moved down and his fist directly punched out.

"Diamond Break!!"

The fist directly rolled up a shock wave and drilled into the hole in the deck and hit the sea surface, making a dent.

"Fishman Karate: Gun Wave!"

In the sunken seawater, a roar suddenly sounded and Fatty Blue came out from it. The palm of the fish brought up a ball of water and directly waved it up. The water flow was like a pillar and a spear that could pierce through everything, directly hitting Mont Blanc above.

Bang!!

Mont Blanc blocked with both hands and was hit by the stream of water. His body floated up for a while. Then he stepped on the air and directly swept to the back, letting the water flow straight up. His body rotated a few times in the air and landed steadily.

At this time, Jinbe also jumped up from the hole, stared at Mont Blanc and said in a deep voice, "Is it a strong body technique?"

"He's really strong! Jinbe!"

Montblanc revealed a sinister smile. "As expected of Shichibukai!"
