Chapter 141 - 29

Chapter 231Lightning javelins tore through the air, arriving in an instant with an aura that promised to destroy everything!Garp did not dodge or evade. Instead, he let out a low roar, stomped his feet violently on the ground, and launched himself toward the lightning spears like a cannonball!His right fist pulled back, the muscles in his arm bulging like a dragon. The extremely compressed Armament Haki even caused the air around his fist to distort slightly."Fist Bone: Meteor!"Boom!The iron fist, wreathed in black and red electrical arcs, collided violently with the massive lightning javelin!The sound of the explosion seemed to be muted.Immediately following, countless uncontrolled bolts of lightning erupted and exploded in all directions like violent thunder snakes.Crackle, crackle!The entire area seemed to be suffering from a violent thunderstorm; the ground was scorched by electricity, the remaining buildings were shattered, and the air was filled with the acrid smell of ozone.Garp's figure rushed out from the scattered lightning, wisps of blue smoke rising from his fist.The clothes on his arm were somewhat scorched, but he himself appeared unscathed."You've improved a lot, brat. Much stronger than you were at Water 7."A bit of blood trickled from the corner of Garp's mouth; he didn't look completely unscathed after all. "But this is still not enough!""I will defeat you!"Luffy stared directly at Garp. His body rapidly shrank, returning to his normal Gear 5 form. However, within the white steam swirling around him, golden electrical sparks began to jump. The arm that had just grabbed the lightning turned crimson, radiating intense heat as if flames were flowing through it.Lightning and fire are elements that can coexist.Luffy had experience utilizing these two elements."Gear 5: Nika: Thunder-Fire Stance!""How do you come up with these messy stances?" Garp complained."As long as it works, don't worry about it."Luffy let out a low roar, his figure turning into a blur once again. He instantly appeared in front of Garp and threw a punch!This punch was no longer a simple Rubber impact, but was wreathed in blue lightning and crimson flames. Under the integration of Haki, it transformed into a destructive torrent of intertwined thunder and fire!"White: Thunder-Fire Fist!"Flames and lightning overflowed; an aura of scorching heat and paralysis descended simultaneously, striking directly at Garp!Garp's pupils constricted slightly as he sensed the unusual nature of this strike. He didn't take it head-on; his burly body displayed incredible agility. With a tap of his feet, he slid sideways as if teleporting.Rumble!The Thunder-Fire Fist force grazed Garp's body and smashed heavily into the ground behind him, instantly creating a massive, scorched crater with molten rock and jumping arcs of electricity at the edges.Before that dodging figure could even make the next move, Luffy's attacks followed one after another like a raging storm!He quickly lowered his body, one leg covered in heavy Haki, and chopped down with the momentum of a scorching Thunder-Fire battle axe, carrying the force to tear everything apart."White: Thunder-Fire Battle Axe!"Bang!!The immense force caused the ground where Garpstood to crack into several pieces, and the rubble turned into powder amidst the thunder and fire.Garp held one hand high, Haki condensing on his arm, and forcibly blocked this ferocious chop. The ground beneath his feet collapsed further.He looked up, his gaze meeting the inverted Luffy's."That has a bit of power, brat!"Garp let out a low shout, backhanded Luffy's ankle with a fierce grip, and with an explosion of terrifying monstrous strength, swung him around like a windmill and slammed him heavily to the side.At the same time, his other fist was already primed and ready, firing at Luffy's waist as he was thrown.Bang!In the critical moment, Luffy's body displayed the extreme flexibility of Rubber. He forcibly twisted his body in mid-air, and his other leg swept across like a whip, carrying thunder and fire."White: Thunder-Fire Whip!"Foot and fist collided in the air again, Haki clashing violently, emitting a deafening explosion!"Grandpa, are you really going to stop me?!"Luffy used the force of the collision to flip and land, facing Garp."If you can't even get past me, don't even think about saving that guy!"Garp roared in response. He didn't give Luffyanother chance to catch his breath. His forehead was covered in pitch-black Haki, and his upper body lunged forward violently like a rampaging bull, slamming his head into Luffy's abdomen."Iron Head: Star Breaker!""Ugh!"Luffy let out a muffled groan, lifted off his feet by the sudden headbutt, and flew backward.But his combat instinct was astonishing. The moment he was knocked away, he brought his feet together, wreathed them in thunder and fire, and kicked Garp's solid chest hard!The two sides traded blows, back and forth.Mercilessly!Chapter 319: Both Sides Suffer, Aokiji Makes His MoveThud, thud, thud!Garp was kicked back several steps by the forceful impact, a wave of burning pain and numbness radiating from his chest.Luffy's body was covered in lightning and scorching flames; an ordinary person's body would have long since been paralyzed by the electricity.Luffy used the force to retreat, pressed one hand to the ground, and launched himself into the air like a catapult."Don't you dare die on me, you old geezer!"He brought his hands together in front of his chest, black and red Haki gathering frantically, with even more violent golden lightning and crimson flames jumping between them."White: Thunder-Fire Meteor!"He swung his arms forward violently, and countless shockwaves wreathed in thunder and fire, like meteors descending from the sky, bombarded Garp below in an overwhelming barrage."I won't die! As for you, if this is all you've got, don't blame me for throwing you into the same place as Ace!"Garp looked up at the sky, laughing heroically in the face of this destructive attack.His fists were like tireless pile drivers, punching upward one after another.Each punch was simple and unadorned, yet contained the terrifying power to collapse mountains and split seas, along with Hakicondensed to the extreme."Fist Bone: Star Barrage!"Boom!Boom! Boom!The collision between the two sides exploded into sparks and flames filling the sky.Garp's fists didn't even make direct contact with the shockwaves; the Haki released with the momentum of his punches alone was enough to completely disintegrate these astonishingly powerful attacks.After throwing dozens of punches in a row to clear the last of the meteors, Garp flashed again, using Moonwalk to accelerate in mid-air, instantly breaking through the aftermath of the explosions and appearing before Luffy!"Brat, treat me as an enemy and take this fight seriously!"He roared, his fist wreathed in heart-stopping black and red lightning, tearing through the air as it smashed down toward Luffy's face!"White Balloon!"Luffy reacted extremely quickly, his abdomen instantly expanding into a giant white balloon.Thud!Garp's fist slammed into the balloon, making a dull sound. The massive elasticity made his arm tremble slightly, stalling his attack.However, just as Luffy thought he had successfully defended and was preparing to return to normal to counterattack."Too naive!"Garp growled, his repelled fist firing again with even greater speed!This time it wasn't a straight punch, but one that cleverly bypassed the defensive range of the balloon, striking directly at Luffy's flank!Luffy's pupils constricted, and he hurriedly contracted his body, while simultaneously covering his forehead with Armament Haki again and pushing forward hard.Slap!Garp's other hand, however, grabbed Luffy's wrist like an iron pincer, preventing him from defending effectively.At the same time, the fist that had bypassed the defense landed squarely on Luffy's flank.Pfft!Luffy spat out a mouthful of bile, his body arching like a shrimp, and intense pain instantly spread throughout his entire body."Your aptitude for Haoshoku is strong, but that aptitude of yours was inherited from me!"Garp didn't let up, the hand gripping Luffy's wrist suddenly exerting force to slam him toward the ground, while his other fist was once again fully charged with Conquerors Haki Infusion, ready to deliver a heavy blow!"White: Rotating Whip!"Just as he was being slammed to the ground, Luffyendured the intense pain, his body spinning at high speed like a top, and his free leg swept toward Garp's neck like a steel whip, leaving a blur.Garp was forced to release Luffy's wrist and block with his arm.Bang!The leg whip collided with his arm, Haki splashing everywhere.But just as he approached Luffy, the spinning Luffysuddenly disappeared, causing Garp to strike at empty air.That was an afterimage created using Rubberelasticity and high-speed movement.Luffy's real body lowered his figure, narrowly dodging Garp's follow-up pursuit. At the same time, his axe-like right foot was once again covered in thunder and fire, and from an incredible angle, he stomped down from bottom to top onto the head of Garp, who was leaning forward slightly due to his missed attack."Got you this time!"At the same time, a glint flashed in Luffy's eyes. He manipulated the surrounding ruins of the buildings; the bricks and wood were instantly assimilated into Rubber, twisting and deforming to combine into a giant slingshot.He set himself on the slingshot like a cannonball, aiming directly at Garp, whose movements were sluggish due to the strike to his head!"Rubber: White Rocket: Thunder-Fire Piercing Strike!"The compressed elastic potential energy was released instantly. Luffy's figure transformed into a meteor wreathed in red-black lightning and crimson flames, shooting toward Garp's chest at a speed exceeding any previous attack.This strike condensed all of his current strength.Haki, lightning, and fire seized the fleeting opening after Garp was injured!Boom!The red-black thunder-fire shockwave completely swallowed Garp's figure. The terrifying energy exploded, forming a thick beam of light that shot straight into the sky, churning the clouds above into a giant vortex!The scattered lightning and flames splashed like fireworks, illuminating everything around them with flickering light."Just retire honestly, you old geezer." Luffy landed on the ground, panting slightly, staring fixedly at the center of the energy explosion.This hit, it should...However, his pupils suddenly contracted."Fist Bone..."A deep and oppressive voice sounded from within the still-lingering column of thunder and fire.I saw that hand, the one that had just punched Luffy in the abdomen, suddenly reach out from the chaotic energy and clench tightly!Crackle!Inside the massive shockwave, a gap was forcibly cleared by this invisible gripping force, revealing the black and red lightning jumping around the fist!As the fist came down violently, it split this shockwave, which was capable of destroying the island, right down the middle!"Galaxy Divide!"The fist, wreathed in extreme Conquerors Haki Infusion, broke through all obstacles, the massive fist arriving in front of Luffy in the blink of an eye.Luffy only had time to cross his arms, covering them with Armament Haki to protect his chest.Bang!
