Chapter 53: Analysis! The Mutated Power of the Sun God!
gap.
These two words, like two invisible mountains, appeared in Luffy's mind.
Although he maintained his punching stance, his body was trembling violently and uncontrollably.
The immense strain from the second gear made his skin feel like a hot iron, and his muscle fibers groaned in agony from the unbearable strain.
But none of these can compare to the coldness and helplessness in my heart.
His speed, which he was so proud of, seemed to be in slow motion in front of his opponent.
His powerful punch, delivered with all his might, was effortlessly caught by his opponent with just two fingers.
He was completely unable to resist even the opponent's terrifying Conqueror's Haki.
This feeling was even more...desperate than being kicked away by Kizaru in the Sabaody Archipelago, or watching helplessly as my companions were hunted down by the Pacifistas on Sabaody Archipelago.
This time, he didn't even have the right to touch the enemy.
"puff."
A mouthful of blood spilled from Luffy's mouth and dripped onto the cracked earth.
The light in his eyes was rapidly dimming.
"Have you given up?"
Chen Ye's voice rang out calmly, without a trace of emotion, yet it was like the sharpest knife, piercing Luffy's pride.
"If this is all the level of awareness you have, then I'm really disappointed in you, kid."
"How can someone like you protect your companions?"
"partner……"
Hearing the word "comrade" was like a thunderclap, exploding in Luffy's collapsing mental world!
The boy's pupils suddenly contracted.
On that face covered in blood and sweat, the dim light in his eyes was rekindled!
Do not!
We can't give up!
Everyone's still waiting for me!
My friends are waiting for me somewhere in the world!
If I fall here, if I can't even surpass the man in front of me, what am I supposed to do to protect my comrades? What am I supposed to do to become the Pirate King?
"Ooo ...
A roar that didn't sound like a human voice burst out from deep within Luffy's throat!
His legs, which were trembling from exhaustion, actually slammed into the ground again, stabilizing his body!
His blocked fist, in a self-destructive manner, unleashed a power far exceeding its previous strength, forcefully breaking free from between Chen Ye's two fingers!
"Yo... this kid..."
Marco, watching from afar, felt his eyelids twitch.
This indomitable will, this life-burning fighting style, is exactly like my father when he was young!
"Luffy!"
Hancock covered her mouth in alarm, her beautiful eyes filled with worry and heartache.
"I……"
Luffy raised his head, and there was no longer any confusion or despair in his eyes, only pure and extreme anger and fighting spirit, like a volcanic eruption!
"I won't... admit defeat here!!!"
He stretched his arms back sharply, his body like a spring compressed to its limit!
The steam gushing from the pores all over the body is no longer white, but a faint red due to the high body temperature!
This is a sign that the second gear has been pushed to its limit, or even exceeded!
"Rubber-like..."
He poured all his resentment, anger, and realization into this final strike!
This is his attack at this moment, a gamble with everything!
"JET...The Final Gatling Gun!!!"
boom!!!
The air was completely ignited!
Luffy's figure vanished from his spot in an instant. The next second, his fists transformed into a barrage of red meteors, bombarding Chen Ye with a speed and power surpassing all previous attacks!
This time, it's not a test!
This is no longer a friendly exchange!
It's a final blow that will take all of Luffy's current strength!
however.
Just before those storm-like fists were about to touch Chen Ye's body...
Just when Marco and Hancock thought that Chenye was about to be devoured by this terrifying attack.
A genuine, satisfied smile finally appeared on Chen Ye's face.
"Ding! 』
A long-awaited electronic notification sound suddenly rang in his mind!
"Detection indicates that the target's will has broken through its limits, unleashing potential beyond its current boundaries..."
"The parser has started..."
『SSSR-level illustration [Sun God Nikara Luffy] Resolution +10%……95%……98%……』
100%!
"Congratulations, host! The Ultimate Ace [Future Nikka Luffy]'s character profile has been fully unlocked!"
"Resolution reached 100%, triggering a special reward!"
Generating for you...
"Congratulations, host! You have received a special reward: a transcendent-level Devil Fruit—[Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Apollo Mode]!"
Simultaneously, the host's bodily activity, cellular resilience, and potential ceiling are permanently and significantly enhanced!
A series of system notifications flooded into Chen Ye's mind like a tidal wave!
Become!
A surge of joy welled up in Chen Ye's heart!
This third, and most mysterious, and most promising trump card, is finally in our hands!
But then he was taken aback by the name of the Devil Fruit.
"Apollo form?"
He quickly asked the system a question in his mind.
"Isn't this Nika form?"
"Back to host, Nika form is the name given to the native inhabitants of this world after their Devil Fruit awakens. This reward from the system has been optimized and elevated, removing the limitations of being a 'Gum-Gum Fruit,' directly granting the host the most primal authority of the 'Sun God,' and naming it 'Apollo,' a title of even higher rank."
"A higher rank?"
Chen Ye's eyes lit up.
"Please rest assured, host. Anything produced by this system is guaranteed to be of the highest quality! The potential of this fruit far surpasses that of any other Devil Fruit in this world!"
The system's answer was full of confidence.
That's it!
Chen Ye understood instantly.
This is equivalent to the system directly giving him a "super invincible Devil Fruit, and it's a super upgraded version that removes the limitations of his rubber body and only retains the core power of the Sun God!"
"very good!"
Chen Ye felt much more at ease.
"Keep the fruit safe for me for now, and I'll eat it later when we find a secluded place."
Command received.
All of this exchange of ideas happened in the blink of an eye.
Outside, Luffy's fist, burning with everything, is already within reach!
Having achieved all his goals, Chenye finally lost interest in continuing to "play".
He looked at the bloodshot-eyed, seemingly crazed boy in front of him and slowly raised his right fist.
Second gear was not activated.
No Armament Haki was used.
It didn't even have a striking presence.
Just like that, in an ordinary way, facing the sky full of fist shadows, he casually swung forward.
"Buzz—!"
An invisible force of vibration flashed across his fist.
next second.
His fist collided violently with Luffy's hundreds of punches!
"Bang!!!"
A deafening, muffled thud, like an invisible giant hammer, slammed into everyone's hearts!
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Luffy's storm-like offensive came to an abrupt halt.
The fierce and resolute expression on his face froze instantly.
Instead, there was endless bewilderment and confusion.
He only felt a terrifying force that he could not understand or resist coming from the other party's fist.
That power was not simply brute force.
It seemed to have a life of its own, instantly piercing through his fist, surging into his arm, and rushing into his internal organs!
In that instant, every bone in his body seemed to groan as if it were about to shatter!
"puff--!!!"
A large mouthful of blood gushed out of Luffy's mouth in a fan shape!
He was like a ball hit head-on by a high-speed train, flying backward at several times the speed he had come from!
"BOOM!!!"
Luffy's body traced a tragic parabola through the air before crashing heavily into a distant jungle.
The earth trembled violently, and dust billowed into the sky.
A huge, human-shaped crater appeared in everyone's sight.
Inside the deep pit, Luffy was covered in blood, his eyes rolled back, and he had completely lost consciousness.
The battle is over.
From the moment Chenye exerted his power to the moment Luffy fell to the ground, the entire process took less than a second.
The audience on the sidelines fell into a deathly silence.
