Chapter 52 A Desperate Gap! A "Lesson" for the Future Pirate King!
Just as Marco was filled with self-doubt, Chen Ye finished demonstrating his Conqueror's Haki!
He then slowly withdrew his Conqueror's Haki!
That terrifying aura of dominance came quickly and went just as fast.
It receded like the tide.
The invisible mountain that had just been pressing down on the entire Kuja Island vanished in an instant.
The trembling jungle returned to calm, and the stunned birds and beasts began to slowly awaken.
Everything seemed to have returned to its starting point.
Boa Hancock and Marco, however, felt as if they had just been pulled out of the deep sea, panting heavily, their backs already soaked in cold sweat.
too frightening.
That fleeting burst of Conqueror's Haki just now made them truly feel what it meant for a king to descend.
however.
Despite being at the center of the storm, Luffy did not back down in the slightest.
Quite the opposite.
When that pressure disappeared, instead of fear, his pure eyes burned with an unprecedented, raging fighting spirit!
"Wow...that's amazing!"
Luffy grinned, revealing an extremely excited smile, and even stuck out his tongue to lick his chapped lips.
"You're really strong!"
His blood boiled completely at that moment!
A strong person!
This is the kind of strongman he has always dreamed of surpassing!
Only by defeating such an opponent can he become stronger, defeat the Navy Admiral, and protect the comrades he wants to protect!
"Hey! Again!"
Luffy let out a beast-like roar, and with a burst of power from his legs, prepared to charge again.
Marco and Hancock, who were watching from a distance, were stunned by what they saw.
That straw hat kid...
Is he crazy?!
After witnessing that monstrous Conqueror's Haki, instead of being terrified, he became even more excited?
This courage, this nerve...
He looks exactly like Ace!
Marco's mind was filled with the image of the boy who always wore a hat and smiled like a fool.
Chen Ye looked at the boy in front of him, whose fighting spirit was soaring, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
"No wonder he was chosen by the world."
"This resilience, which makes one stronger when faced with adversity, is the most terrifying talent."
He concealed all his aura, becoming as calm and undisturbed as an ancient well.
He didn't even bother to strike a pose; he simply beckoned to Luffy with his finger.
The action was full of disdain and provocation.
"Come on, kid."
"Let me see just how far your awareness can go."
"roar--!!!"
This contemptuous attitude completely ignited Luffy's anger!
The boy let out a deafening roar, and his body once again transformed into a red lightning bolt, shooting towards Chen Ye!
"JET machine gun!!!"
This time, he held nothing back!
His arms transformed into countless blurry afterimages in mid-air, and his fists, enveloped in high-temperature steam, became like bullets fired from a gun, turning into an impenetrable net of fists that once again swept down upon Chen Ye!
Each punch was accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air!
Every punch is enough to turn steel into scrap metal!
This relentless and fierce offensive made Hancock, watching from afar, tremble with fear, her heart pounding in her throat.
however.
Chen Ye, who was at the center of the boxing net, was like a traveler strolling leisurely in a storm.
There was even a faint smile on his face.
Just before Luffy's fist was about to touch his body.
He moved.
There was no amazing speed, nor any fancy moves.
He simply took a step to the left.
That's it.
He dodged the hundreds of extremely fast fist shadows, which grazed his clothes and missed their mark, slamming into the ground behind him!
"Boom boom boom boom boom—!"
The earth trembled violently, and dust billowed into the sky. In an instant, a huge crater composed of countless fist imprints was formed!
Despite missing his target, Luffy was not discouraged. He suddenly exerted force in his waist, twisted his body in mid-air, and swung his right leg, which was burning with steam, out like a battle axe!
"JET Whip!"
Chen Ye didn't even turn around.
He seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, simply tilting his head back slightly.
The sweeping leg, carrying terrifying wind pressure, whistled past his nose!
"JET rocket launcher!"
Luffy unleashed both fists, using the recoil to propel himself forward like a cannonball once more!
Instead of retreating, Chen Ye advanced, slightly shifting his body to the side, and passed through the narrow gap between the two fists unharmed.
Take a stroll.
With ease.
All of Luffy's attacks are fast, accurate, and ruthless!
But in front of Chen Ye, they appeared so ridiculous and clumsy!
He was like a child throwing a punch with all his might, while the other person was an adult who could see through all his movements.
No matter how angry he was or how fast he sped up, he couldn't even touch the hem of the other person's clothes!
"How could this be... how could this happen!"
Luffy's heart sank little by little.
He could clearly sense that his opponent wasn't dodging with speed at all!
Instead, they had already predicted all of their own attack routes before they even made a move!
This feeling made him so frustrated that he almost vomited blood!
Marco, standing in the distance, was completely dumbfounded.
His mouth was slightly open, but he couldn't even utter his signature "yo-yi".
That kid!
"This is the ability to foresee the future, which can only be mastered by cultivating Observation Haki to its ultimate level!"
"This monster..."
Marco's heart was in turmoil.
While easily dodging, Chen Ye began his one-sided "teaching" in a calm, almost cold tone.
"It's too slow."
He dodged a heavy punch by sidestepping.
"Your strength is too scattered; your anger is just a waste of energy."
He ducked to avoid a sweeping kick.
"The trajectory of the attack was full of flaws."
He moved through the dense barrage of punches as if he were in an empty field.
"You're too weak right now."
"Your attacks can't touch me at all."
Every word was like a heavy hammer, slamming into Luffy's proud heart!
"Ding! 』
"Gum-Gum Fruit detected, Second Stage Ability... Analyzing..."
"Host detected to be conducting combat tutorial; analysis efficiency greatly improved!"
'SSSR-level illustration [Sun God Nikara Luffy] resolution +10%... Current progress 50%!'
The system's notification sounds kept ringing in Chen Ye's mind.
"Aaaaaaaahh ...
Luffy, hit hard by both words and reality, completely went berserk!
His eyes were bloodshot as he pushed the potential of second gear to its limit!
"JET... Rocket Launcher!!!"
He poured all his resentment, anger, and determination into this one strike!
This is the strongest punch he has ever thrown!
This time.
Chen Ye stopped dodging.
He stood silently, watching the fist, burning with white steam, hurtle towards him at a terrifying speed exceeding the speed of sound.
He slowly raised his right hand.
He held up two fingers.
"Buzz".
A layer of jet-black color instantly covered his fingertips.
Armament Haki: Harden!
The most basic and simplest application.
next second.
Luffy's fist, which was risking everything, collided violently with Chen Ye's seemingly fragile two fingers!
There was no earth-shattering noise.
There was also no devastating shockwave.
Time seemed to have been paused at that moment.
Luffy's figure came to an abrupt halt.
The expression on his face instantly froze from ferocious anger to utter disbelief.
His fist, powerful enough to shatter giant rocks, was effortlessly blocked by those two fingers.
Not moving.
The terrifying force emanating from his fingertips, like striking an unshakeable continent, made his bones groan in agony!
The difference between the two.
It is an insurmountable chasm, like the sky and the ground!
It's despair!
"Ding! 』
"A violent fluctuation in the target's will has been detected... Analysis speed increased again!"
'SSSR-level illustration [Sun God Nikara Luffy] resolution +20%... Current progress 70%!'
Resolution increased by 20%... Current progress 90%!
The system notification sounds were flooding Chen Ye's mind!
"Did you see that clearly, kid?"
Chen Ye looked at the blank-faced boy in front of him, his voice still calm.
"This is the insurmountable gap between you and me right now."
