1187 Battle of Life

Blocked?

Kuro smiled, but after thinking about it, it made sense. If he could defeat Kaido, wouldn’t it be normal to block his attack?

Luffy pulled back one hand and said, “Rubber rubber…”

Kuro narrowed his eyes. Extend? With so many flaws in his actions, then just cut off his arm!

“Jet!”

Whoosh!

Kuro was stunned and his eyes widened because Luffy disappeared from the spot at a speed that he couldn’t see clearly.

“Snake Cannon!”

A voice appeared in his ear, and Kuro subconsciously waved his sword to block it. With an explosion, he clicked his tongue and looked over, only to see Luffy there, his fist hitting the blade he just blocked.

His arm did not extend, it was just a simple punch.

But it was this fist that made Kuro’s arm feel a little numb.

He moved his arm down and the blade missed Luffy’s fist. His elbow went up and directly hit Luffy’s arm. At the same time, the blade turned into a bloody light and cut Luffy’s chest.

Bang!

This time, Luffy was shot down. He spun twice in the air and landed on the ground like a squirrel. Then he looked up at Kuro and smiled.

“This feeling…”

Kuro raised his hand and stared at his Asura Ghost. Then, he looked down and saw that Luffy’s chest, which originally had an “M”-shaped wound, had another horizontal white mark.

Yes, White Mark …

“Stretch…” Kuro narrowed his eyes.

What a smart man Kuro is. He is not like Crowe, who is ‘big smart’, nor are he like Kaz and Wilbur, the two ‘Wall Dragon and Phoenix Hip’. He is really smart.

If I’m not smart, how can I use the [Illusionless Divine Wind] to create so many moves?

Although those moves have the template of his hometown in his previous life, the template is a template, which is just a name. If he really followed the principles of those moves that appeared in his previous life, he would not be able to make them in eight lifetimes. It is still Kuro’s own talent.

Other than carrying the [Unseen Grace] cheat, he doesn’t carry anything else. Without Deep Blue, he can’t boldly say that he relied on himself to reach this point in his life, so he can only rely on himself.

Therefore, as soon as he took action, he noticed the difference in Luffy.

That punch did not extend to the enemy through the ‘compression’ characteristic of rubber. It was just an ordinary fast straight punch, but the fist itself carried the characteristics of ‘compression’. The fist that was swung out was more perfect than the accumulation and compression. His own punches and kicks already carried that characteristic.

And that slash just now…

The slash was made of rubber, but it was obviously a little different now. His body still had some elasticity. When his blade hit it, the elasticity offset his blade and it collapsed back a little. He relied on the impact to knock Luffy down.

The awakened power of the fruit, the degree of Haki, and now this body, which is obviously a result of Haoshoku’s entanglement, is suitable for combat…

“No wonder he could beat Kaido…” Kuro said faintly.

This is obviously more durable than Kaido, but of course that’s not the most important thing…

Kuro narrowed his eyes and his body disappeared from the air. A gust of wind blew and blew Luffy’s hair.

Luffy subconsciously raised his hands and put his arms forward.

Dang!

The blood-colored blade appeared there, and Kuro also appeared there, holding Luo Gui and slashing down.

“I see it!”

Luffy chuckled. “Your speed!”

“Are you that proud?”

Kuro narrowed his eyes and said, “Fight with me in this state…”

The blue veins on Kuro’s arms were exposed. He pushed down and pressed down on Luffy’s arms. Kuro kicked Luffy’s heart with his Unified Haki and kicked him back.

“How long do you have?”

These words stunned Zoro and he subconsciously looked at Luffy who had stabilized himself.

How long to live?

At this moment, Luffy’s body was still emitting steam from time to time, and every movement accelerated the steam.

It wasn’t like this at first. When he developed the ‘Fifth Gear’, the steam wasn’t so violent…

Is it because after defeating Kaido, he didn’t have any physical strength to fight?

Zoro vaguely remembered that it was the same when Luffy developed the second gear in the past, and that kind of posture could easily damage his lifespan!

“Hey, Luffy, didn’t you say that the side effects have disappeared since the development of ‘four lanes’?” Zoro asked subconsciously.

“Ha!”

On the other hand, Kuro sneered and looked at Zoro. “What kind of joke is this? Rolo Noah Zoro, I remember the first time we met on the Judicial Island. Although you seemed to be fine at that time, you were actually covered in wounds. If you hadn’t hidden for two years, you would have died!”

“Can the open and hidden injuries brought by the battle be healed after a few days of rest? It’s fine if he has the ability of the fruit, but without the ability of the fruit, can he hold on with just the ‘Life Return’ brought by this straw hat kid because of the characteristics of the fruit? Of course it’s not that easy. Similarly, if he wants to obtain extraordinary combat power at this age that is comparable to ours, he has to pay something!”

“In the sea, there are countless talented people. The real talented person is Charlotte Lingling! But even she doesn’t dare to say that she can compare to Yonkō (Four Emperors) at a young age, even I! When I was 10 or 20 years old, I also played with pirates in the East China Sea. Why can you punch Kaido and kick a woman? Do you have to pay the price?”

He said to Zoro, “Your Haoshoku is only temporarily controlling the knife. When your physical strength is exhausted, the knife will still bite back at you. The knife is spiritless, which means that it is indistinguishable. It will only be in the hands of the person who can perfectly control it. Even if you can master it for a while, it will bite back and suck you dry!”

“Similarly, this Captain of your family…”

Kuro looked at Luffy and said with a sneer, “The red body heat is to pump into the body with rubber characteristics to reach the high-speed flow of blood to strengthen the body. It is probably to the extent of being able to use the Rokushiki proficiently, but there is a risk in itself. If it is used too much, it will definitely shorten life, because the ability user is still an ability user, a human, not the ability itself.”

“And the move to enlarge the body part is to inject gas into the gaps of the bones, right? Forcefully opening the position of his bones to change the body, only Rubber can do it, but the pain and the bone problems caused by long-term use will also make his body older, which means that he won’t live long.”

“As for that four-way block, it is even more interesting. Not only is it partially opened, but it directly compresses the air into various parts of the body and forcibly drives its internal organs, bones, and blood. Although it can obtain a high combat power, the side effects are greater than the previous two. If it is used for a long time, it will naturally die faster.”

“Finally, you, the so-called ‘Fifth Gear’… I have to say that your Life Return is used very well, even surpassing all the people in Marine and CP who are proficient in Life Return. Relying on this, you are forcibly burning your life force to reach the sustainability of the battle, using your life force as firewood and yourself as the fuel. The fire has been burned out, but how long can the flame last?”

How old is Luffy?

At most, he is 21 years old. If he doesn’t rely on this kind of ‘burning his life’ to obtain combat power, his real combat power will reach the current Haoshoku Bind, the highest level of Armament Haki, and the almost strong Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki. He can become a hero in the sea, but he is only a hero, not a Yonkō (Four Emperors)!

However, once he burns his life to improve himself and keeps his stamina full, relying on the endurance characteristic of his ability awakening, anyone will be exhausted to death.

Kuro himself was no exception.

However, this kind of life…

How long can he burn?

This guy doesn’t have many years left to live!
