"That knife is really dangerous. I have decided not to let you touch it!"
Luffy jumped a few times and took a deep breath. His feet stopped heavily and he took a horse stance. He looked up and stared at Kuro. "I'm coming, incense burner!"
"Everyone says my name is Ku…"
Bang!
Before he could finish, he heard an explosion from Luffy's position and his figure disappeared. A hole was made in the ground by his violent speed and dust was swept up.
The redness in Kuro's eyes increased. His eyes rolled around and finally fixed in a direction. His arm turned into an afterimage and he quickly put the Demon on his waist. His left hand was empty and it was like a scabbard. He pulled out the knife instantly.
"Yuelong!"
Chi!
The blood-colored blade light cut through the air and made a sound of being cut. At the same time, the blood-colored light also touched a huge impact. It was a fist that directly hit the direction of Kuro's blade. Luffy maintained the charging posture and punched Kuro's blade.
Boom!!
As soon as the fist and the knife came into contact, a huge impact burst out with a elastic force. Kuro's knife was broken and he stepped back.
His eyes widened in surprise. He stepped on the ground and his figure flashed, turning into an afterimage. In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind Luffy, who was still in a charging posture.
"Afterimage Slash!"
The blade slashed at Luffy's head.
Shua!
This slash missed and Luffy quickly lowered his head and said, "Rubber Rubber Toad Cannon!"
He pushed his arms against the ground and kicked his legs back towards Kuro.
The elasticity brought by the awakening and the attack that did not require expansion and accumulation of power, as soon as he moved, the air made a sound. Kuro's pupils shrank, and the blade that he swung quickly retracted and blocked Luffy's kick.
Bang!
The leg did not even touch his blade. The attack of Haki stuck to the blade and exploded. The huge impact directly blew Kuro into the sky and he only stabilized himself in mid-air.
"This guy…" Kuro looked down at his trembling hands and his face sank.
After kicking back, Luffy did a somersault on the ground and stood up again to face Kuro in the air and said with a smile, "Hehe, how is it, not bad!"
He did have strength. The strength under this posture was enough to compare to Kaido.
The speed brought by elasticity and explosive power is also a little interesting…
If this continued, it would be difficult to determine the winner.
"He does have the combat power of Yonkō (Four Emperors)…"
Kuro said, "At first, I thought that we would see each other often, in case I see Garp in the future. If you obediently follow me back to Impel Down, this matter will be over. If you don't do as I say, even if you burn your life, you will go against me…"
He closed his eyes. Around the armor, blood-colored ribbons began to appear and wrap around his shoulders, waist, and thighs, fluttering with the wind. He put on three feather coats and the six ribbons wrapped together like a god.
As soon as that thing appeared, Luffy's expression immediately became serious. Even though steam was coming out of his body, his face was still sweating.
"Luffy, that thing!" Zoro shouted.
"Ah… I know!" Luffy's expression became more serious, he clenched his fists and stared at Kuro.
"How many moves can you take from me?" Kuro opened his eyes and squatted slightly. Luo Gui put his hand back to his waist and his left hand clenched, a large amount of blood energy gathered in his body.
"Profound meaning, one slash…"
Luffy's eyes widened at this scene. He squatted down and exerted strength in his legs and feet. His fists pulled back and his forearm began to expand like a balloon.
He noticed that the power of this move was not low!
It's not that Luffy can't make his body bigger under the awakening state, but sometimes it seems unnecessary, which will add more burden to him, but now is not the time to pay attention to the burden!
"Rubber rubber!" Luffy shouted.
"Absolute White Tiger Kill."
Whoosh!
A gust of wind came out of nowhere and melted Kuro's body, making him disappear without a trace. The speed of the wind was extremely fast, but it was not violent. It was like a gentle breeze, blowing on people's faces.
But if it really scraped…
His life would be gone!
"Lion Spear of Hellfire!!"
Luffy's fists shot forward and a huge flame burst out, resisting the breeze.
Bang!!!
In an instant, Luffy's fists were shaken off and his hands were pulled out, but it also revealed Kuro's body. He waved his knife and approached Luffy. When he arrived in front of Luffy, the blade had already been swung.
Kuro glanced at Luffy and saw that he was grimacing in pain. His fists, which had been shaken off, were flying around as if they had been deflated. They shrank and fell down. There was a deep bloody wound on his hands, which was obviously broken.
"Good job."
Even Kuro had to praise him. Not everyone could resist his profound meaning.
"But that's the end of it. The body of a man is mighty, the Vientiane is the world, and there is nothing in the world that I will not kill…"
Kuro muttered something and a ribbon flew from his left shoulder directly towards Luffy's head.
"Selfless Blade: Lifeless Sky Kill!"
The Lifeless Sky Strike that represented absolute lethality smashed forward.
Luffy's pupils shrank and he didn't care about his hands that had not been retracted in time. When the ribbon was about to reach his head, he jumped up and tried to tilt his body and let the ribbon hit his right chest.
The surrounding air collapsed with the attack of the ribbon. It was visible to the naked eye that all the air was absorbed towards the area of the ribbon attack, and even the surrounding dust was swept in at this moment.
Bang!!!
There was an explosion and smoke and dust exploded around them.
In the smoke and dust, his body suddenly flew out and slid on the ground. As he slid, he leaked air. His body, which was originally suitable for perfect combat, was shrinking and became about 1.7 meters tall. His mouth was open, his eyes were white, and his right chest was completely sunken.
"Luffy!!" Zoro shouted and quickly ran over.
"Oh? It's quite powerful…"
In the smoke and dust, Kuro slowly walked out. He glanced at Luffy and said, "I wasted my Lifeless Sky Kill, but it didn't penetrate you. Is it elastic…"
In his expectation, the power of this ribbon was enough to penetrate Luffy's head, but his combat awareness was not bad. He did not let his vital points be attacked at the first moment, but he still used his body to resist it.
The elasticity and toughness of the fifth gear resisted a lot of the power of the Lifeless Sky Strike, but it was also completely broken by this ribbon and could not even maintain the fifth gear.
But it was also because of that elasticity that he was not penetrated.
Otherwise, with the power of Kuro's ribbon, Kaido would be able to dig out a piece of flesh with his full-strength Absolute Defense.
