Chapter 498: Polusalino: Breaking Shields, Breaking Defenses, True Damage, Understand?
Although according to the juvenile manga routine before Polusalino crosses, the earlier the characters and skills appear, the less forced, that is, the so-called "the later you shoot, the stronger your strength; The sooner you shoot, the sooner you shoot, the sooner you can't keep it."
However, as an exquisite physical technique that transcends the limits of human physical strength and attracts countless people into the pit of One Piece, the Six Styles appeared early in the Pirate plot and continued until the latest chapter of the manga when Polusalino crossed over. From ordinary naval cadets to the top powerhouses of each camp, even in a new world full of monsters, the six styles still have wonderful performances.
For example, the CP0 in the Ghost Island chapter, that is, the "Mask to Death" Guernica, first defeated the supernova "X Drake" and "Haiming" Apu with six styles, and then completely finished off the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates, the powerful 16th squad leader Izo. In the end, he even accepted the "Impossible Mission" from the Five Old Stars, incarnated as "Ethan Hunter", intervened in the battle between Kaido and Luffy, and used the iron block to temporarily limit the movement of the "fourth block" Luffy, distracting him and being defeated by Kaido - if it weren't for Luffy's possession of the "Nika Fruit" and the completion of another "sit-up", the Pirate finale might really come directly.
In short, in Polusalino's cognition, the six styles are like the "Five Tigers Broken Door Knife" in the martial arts world and the "doppelganger technique" in the Naruto world - widely used, it seems to be a dragon set, but in fact, the upper and lower limits are exaggerated.
Therefore, when Polusalino had just crossed, in the face of the fact that the development of the ability of the Shining Fruit was far from enough for him to control the battle situation at will, he chose to practice the Six Styles seriously for a period of time under the guidance of Colonel Malvern and the teaching of General Zefa - the practice during that period, especially the "Finger Gun", which was very suitable for his own ability, had a very positive impact on him in every sense.
In the same way, in the face of the lack of combat effectiveness in the early stage of the Dark Fruit, the pain it suffers will be more sensitive than ordinary people, and it is impossible to use the superior ability of the natural system of elementalization, Luffy also chose the same path as Polusalino at the beginning under the guidance of General Zefa - that is, to use the six styles to cultivate combat awareness, indirectly affect the development of the fruit's ability, and lay a solid foundation for his strong physical fitness.
So, it seems like it's just a sudden attack, but in fact, Luffy's "finger gun... The Volcanic Gun, both in terms of power and speed, is by no means something that ordinary pirates or sailors can deal with.
Butβ
Saka was obviously not an ordinary naval soldier or pirate, his eyes flashed red, his body changed his posture dexterously, and then jumped high, dodging Luffy's "finger gun bombardment". And Luffy's finger gun impact, which did not hit Saka, although it only affected, also took advantage of the situation to "stab" dozens of sailors standing in the queue, making the ground of the naval dojo a mess.
"The power of this kid...... What an exaggeration! β
Sanji raised his eyebrows - "Finger Spear" and "Lan Foot" are the main "attack" moves in the six styles, and he is better at the latter, but it is precisely because of this that he understands the difficulty of the former's cultivation.
But the success of cultivation is one aspect, and being able to show Luffy's strong power is another aspect-the side also shows that the sea beast dishes he cooks with such sufficient nutrients every time, Luffy does not eat them in vain.
But......
"Ahh I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all to blame that guy for dodging! β
Luffy apologized to the sailors as if he had eaten too much of the sea beast's food, and his head had become an unintelligent sea beast - as if he had shifted the blame to Saka.
The sailors who got up were disproportionate by this sudden attack, and they all drew their long swords with great momentum, regardless of the injuries on their bodies.
However, Saka, who was the master, waved his hand and told them to put away their swords, and the sailors immediately obeyed and relined the line.
"Come on!"
Saka confronts Luffy.
Slash β
Saka held the man-long sword behind his back in his left hand, and did not use techniques such as "shaving", but simply rushed over quickly with the strength of his flesh. The sword qi that burst out in an instant echoed throughout the dojo, causing the bonfires in the distance to shake violently, becoming light and dark.
After drawing a circle, Saka held the sword in front of his face, the tip of the sword pointing at Luffy.
The strange ornamentation carved into the sword gave a dull sheen, except for the seven dots on it that shone like stars, and above these seven dots there was a pair of scarlet fangs.
"Huh? What's going on with this sword? It's so uncomfortable to look at! β
Luffy looked disgusted.
"Can you really understand this power?"
"Huh?"
"Can you feel it? This horror ...... Can you hear the voice of hatred? Hey, hey, hey, hey! β
The ornamentation on the sword's body, the demonic light emitted from the seven points, and the pair of fangs disappeared again as if an illusion.
At the same time, Saka, who was holding the long sword, was completely like resonating with the power of the demon sword, his muscles instantly expanded, and there was a strange black and red color on the surface, and the red light in his eyes was even worse.
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
"It'...... No, I'm thirsting for your blood! β
Luffy didn't feel it at all as if it was Saka's voice in front of himβit was like a curse from the depths of the darkness.
Saka launched an offensive - the first blow, just to contain Luffy's movements.
The second blow was slashed at Luffy, unpretentious moves, amazing speed, just a little bit, it touched Luffy's body, fortunately Luffy was engrossed in his whole body, jumping to dodge his attack.
Under normal circumstances, for a swordsman, it is natural that the long sword will be flawed under such a large swing, but Sakana slashed without a moment's stop, but completely suppressed Luffy.
His blade is like the fangs of a carnivore, stubbornly pursuing its prey. He didn't control the centrifugal force brought by the sword at all, instead, he used himself as the axle of a spinning wheel and the longsword as his own arm, increasing the speed and power of the sword while spinning, and constantly attacking Luffy with this amazing whirling slash.
The whole movement is more like some kind of weird dance that worships evil than the swordsmanship that many people think represents "righteousness......
"Wow!"
As soon as Luffy landed, Saka's sword followed, and Luffy was almost cut before he could dodge. The long sword that slashed to the ground smashed the solid stone ground into a pit several meters large, sending up countless sand and dust, and the edge of the pit also appeared as if it had been corroded by strong acid.
βββοΌ Oh! β
The six-style "paper painting" was activated in time, causing Luffy's body to show incredible deformation, dodging the fatal blow - the long sword also approached only a few centimeters from Luffy's throat before stopping.
"This guy called Saka...... What the hell is sacred?! β
Looking at Luffy, who was beaten blindly defensively, Sanji became more and more serious.
"Mr. Luffy is a Devil Fruit powerhouse, right? Don't you still use the ability? β
Thomas, who was also watching the game, said playfully.
"The man who taught us to fight once said that the ability of the capable is equivalent to the hole cards, and the later you play, the better the battle."
Sanji glanced at this guy and said expressionlessly.
"Really? I feel like it makes sense! β
Thoma's eyes flashed with the desire to fight, but he didn't choose to attack Sanji.
"Darkwater!"
On the field, Luffy faced Saka's attack and began to use his abilities to counterattack.
Butβ
Saka, however, seemed to have seen through Luffy's ability a long time ago, and had a countermeasure, allowing Luffy to suck himself to his side with "dark water", and then suddenly slashed the broad blade of the long sword to his chest - Luffy covered the iron fist of the armed color domineering, and it could only hit the ornament of the sword body.
Saka jumped back two meters as Luffy stared at his fists and trembled.
"What's going on? This feeling...... Whether it's this sword or you, it's very unpleasant! β
Luffy wiped his fist back and forth on his shorts a few times, as if he had got something dirty.
"To this extent, you can also make a big fuss about the Navy Headquarters and then flee? No kidding! It seems that your grandfather, that Lieutenant General Karp, has helped you a lot! β
Saka said, kicking Luffy with a kick - an attack similar to "Arashi's Foot", but it was a black-red expression.
"My grandfather was against me leaving Marin Vando! Make no mistake! It's me who wants to pursue my dreams! If you keep moving forward with your dreams, you can do anything! β
"Dream ......"
Thoma listened to Luffy's words with a thoughtful expression.
"Alright! If you were a man worthy of a living sacrifice, I'd let you live a little longer. Otherwise......"
"What nonsense are you chirping?!"
"I'm going to cut you down right away, and I'm going to make you a puppet forever!"
Luffy stared at Sakana's icy gaze.
"Liberate!"
Luffy was the first to attack, only to see him jump into the air, and the black hole opened from the top of Saka's head - Luffy's move can release the countless remnants absorbed by the Dark Fruit to all around, if it hits Saka like this, it is tantamount to avalanches, mudslides, tsunamis and other most powerful natural disasters, in short, they are all catastrophes.
Butβ
"Demon Fire Slash!"
Saka not only didn't mean to dodge, but instead aimed at the black hole that was about to open, and used this strange long sword to slash it directly.
After a buzz, the wide-eyed Luffy fell to the ground - his "liberation" had not yet been fully activated, and the "black hole" of the Dark Fruit was directly broken by Saka the moment it opened. It's almost like when Polusalino and Admiral Zefa had a battle demonstration for them, the laser was blasted by Admiral Zefa's punch before he could shoot.
The black smoke that originally represented Luffy's power diffused in the dojo gradually disappeared, and the sky turned red - Saka held a long sword, his body kept spinning, and stabbed towards Luffy.
Luffy also urged the power of the Dark Fruit and spun to meet it. The two guys who were spinning at the same time slammed into each other in the air, as if one red and one black, and the two high-speed rotating drill bits that collided together burst apart at once.
Saka adjusted his posture and fell back to the ground, holding a sword in his left hand, staring at Luffy playfully.
Luffy suddenly noticed that his clothes were torn, and glanced at the cracked place slightly: "I still feel very uncomfortable......"
"Hahahaha! Can you feel the power surging within me? Blood Flames! β
Saka laughed, pointed the tip of his sword to the ground, pulled his sword back a little on the slate, and swung it forward!
The sparks that burst from the tip of the knife and the power that poured out of Saka's body turned into scarlet flames, and with the shockwave generated by the sword wind, they hit Luffy together.
Luffy didn't make any big deals, and he had already created a shield of the Dark Fruit in front of him - according to his assumption and experience, his Dark Fruit power would completely absorb Saka's attack, and then turn it into his next attack, which would be used against Saka in turn.
You must know that when he was still in Marin Fando, whether it was Polusalino's "Eight-Foot Qiong Hook Jade", or the "Buddha Light Impact" of the Warring States Marshal, or even Kuzan's "Ice Thorn Spear" and "Extremely Cold Breath", Luffy had all perfectly defended against the attacks of the powerhouses who were undoubtedly at the top of the world.
Although there are Polusalino and others who have not exerted their full strength, the factor of "releasing the sea" is there, but the infinite gravitational attraction and infinite absorption characteristics of the dark fruit are still vividly reflected.
But this time......
"Boom !!"
The scarlet flame seemed to completely ignore the absolute absorption properties of the Dark Fruit, and under Saka's gaze, it directly shattered Luffy's protective body dark curtain and hit his body!
Luffy was caught off guard in an instant, and he could only barely urge the armed color domineering at the last moment, and protect his face with both hands.
"Ah!!h
Luffy, who was hit directly, flew straight out like this, smashed the tall fence of the courtyard, and was surrounded by scarlet flames, accompanied by a wail of pain, and disappeared into the smoke without resistance.
ps: Lest everyone be confused - in the previous plot, the Seven Star Sword had indeed been destroyed by Polusalino
ps: Not to mention, the plot of the mask going to the death of my brother is quite burning
