Chapter 26 - 26

John lunged at Logan with great speed. Logan, with great instincts, was a bit surprised by such speed. With not enough time to dodge, he could only cross his fist in front of himself to block John's advance.

The impact of the punch sent him sprawling backwards. Logan dug his feet into the ground to stop the momentum of the punch.

The power used in the punch by John was purely his physical strength. He hadn't even used Armament Haki to cover his fist.

"You pack quite a punch, kid," exclaimed Logan, who seemed to be unhurt by the attack.

John smirked, his eyes glinting with determination. "You're not bad yourself, old man, but you haven't seen anything yet," he replied, cracking his knuckles.

It was true. John was now much stronger than Captain America when it came to brute strength. His pure physical power without the use of Haki was already on par with that of Spider-Man. And when he combined his strength with Haki, the impact of his punches would increase even further.

Using his Observation Haki, John analyzed Logan's movements and predicted his next attack. As Logan charged forward with astonishing speed, John swiftly dodged to the side, easily avoiding the punch.

Taking advantage of the opening, John unleashed a rapid series of kicks, aiming for Logan's midsection. Each kick was precise and well-calculated, showcasing John's agility and martial arts prowess.

Despite John's remarkable attack, Logan managed to block and evade most of the kicks, displaying his own expertise and reflexes. The clash of their different fighting styles created a mesmerizing spectacle, with their movements appearing both fluid and lightning-fast.

Noticing an opening, Logan swiftly closed the distance between them, launching a flurry of punches and kicks that forced John on the defensive. Despite the intense assault, John managed to deflect and evade most of Logan's attacks, but a few powerful strikes landed, sending him stumbling backward a step. Though John was not even hurt a bit by Logan's attack.

John now understood how difficult it was to use Observation Haki while fighting with someone. However, he was slowly getting the hang of using it effectively.

Even though he had all the details on how to use the abilities from Whitebeard, it was still difficult for him to apply them in battle. Hand-eye coordination was not as easy as it seemed in the movies. Even while fighting Abomination, he didn't face such a problem as he was fighting a group battle and dominating with every punch.

But now, fighting against Logan, he understood how to properly apply Observation Haki.

Regaining his balance, John's eyes brimmed with determination. Focusing his willpower, he activated his Armament Haki, causing his fist to become surrounded by a shimmering black aura.

Logan narrowed his eyes after witnessing John's blackened arm. His instincts flared, warning him to be more cautious around John.

With the enhanced power and durability granted by his Haki, John charged forward, unleashing a devastating punch. The impact reverberated in the air, shaking the surrounding area.

However, Logan proved to be equally resilient. Though the punch hit him, he managed to withstand the blow, his body trembling with strain. A smile crept onto his face as he raised an eyebrow, impressed by John's strength.

Logan definitely had a few broken bones from the attack by John, but he didn't seem to mind at all as his healing factor kicked in.

"You've got potential, kid," Logan commented, his voice filled with genuine admiration. "But don't think for a second that I'll go easy on you."

As Logan said that the he drew out his Adamantium claws.

"Why don't you get serious too, kid?" Logan said and jumped at him.

John's eyes widened as Logan jumped at him with his deadly claws. Reacting quickly, John dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the lethal blades.

John analyzed Logan's movements, searching for an opening. He could see the killer instincts in Logan's eyes, the feral nature that made him a formidable opponent. But John refused to back down.

Channeling his Armament Haki once again, John focused his energy into his legs, propelling himself forward with incredible speed. With a swift kick, he aimed for Logan's side, hoping to knock him off balance.

Logan's reflexes were lightning-fast, however. He twisted his body mid-air, avoiding the full impact of the kick. As he landed, he retaliated with a slash of his claws towards John's midsection.

Reacting in a split second, John twisted his body, narrowly avoiding the deadly strike. With his enhanced senses and Haki, he could anticipate Logan's movements, allowing him to respond with lightning-fast reflexes of his own.

Throwing a quick jab, John aimed for Logan's jaw, hoping to stun him and gain the upper hand. But Logan was not so easily tricked. He dodged the punch, countering with a powerful punch of his own that landed squarely on John's chest.

However, John had already covered his chest with Armament Haki and was able to successfully remain unhurt under the impact of the attack.

To be honest, John was enjoying this fight. He was beginning to feel that his combat experience was slowly increasing as the fight progressed.

As Logan continued to exchange blows with John, he could sense an intense focus and determination emanating from his opponent. It was clear that John was not just an average fighter. He possessed a deep understanding of combat and was adapting quickly, making every move count.

As the fight raged on, Logan could feel his own adrenaline pumping. He relished the challenge of facing someone as skilled as John, their movements becoming a dance of pure skill and instinct. His muscles strained with each punch and kick, but he pushed through, the pain only fueling his determination.

Both fighters were beginning to show signs of wear and tear, with bruises forming on their bodies, and their breaths coming in heavily. However, neither was willing to back down. Although the aim of the fight was originally just to spar, now both of them were thoroughly enjoying the battle and completely engrossed in it.

With a sudden surge of energy, Logan launched himself at John, his claws slashing through the air. But John was ready, countering with a swift dodge and a precise strike to Logan's side. Logan grunted in pain, but he refused to give in. With a growl, he swung his arm around, aiming to land a devastating blow to John's head.

John quickly raised his arm, using Armament Haki to shield himself from the attack. The force of the blow sent a shockwave through his body, but he remained standing, his eyes locked on Logan.

John gathered his Haki around him, forming it into a concentrated punch. With a burst of power, he lunged forward, sending his fist crashing into Logan's chest. The force of the blow sent Logan flying backward, crashing into a nearby tree.
