Fujitora Versus Luke
"What!?"
"Damn bastard..."
"Gulp! Just because you're an emperor of the sea, you think you're invincible!?"
"This arrogant bastard!"
"This is marine territory!"
Hearing those words, the surrounding marines' faces darkened.
They glared angrily, yet fear crept into their hearts.
Not a single one dared charge forward recklessly.
Because they knew Luke had already killed two former admirals, Akainu and Aokiji, who represented the highest combat power from the Marine Headquarters, they all fell into Luke's hands one after another in the past.
Even the invincible Hero of the Marines, Vice-Admiral Garp, who was known as the strongest marine, was almost killed by the other party.
These low-level Marine officers were extremely afraid, terrified, and panicked at the person in front of them.
They all broke out in cold sweats; they were filled with unease, tension rising to an unbearable level.
Because the man in front of them was not an ordinary pirate. He was an absolute killing god and a real monster.
He could be called the nemesis of the admirals. So far, two admirals have fallen in his hands, one after another.
There are even two Admiral candidates who have been captured by the other side, and their life and death situations are still unknown.
"I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get my head..."
Fujitora's expression turned grave.
Holding the cane sword, he said to Luke in front of him in a deep voice: "Then let me experience the power of an emperor firsthand!"
"Raging Tiger!"
Before his words even fully left his mouth, he attacked without hesitation.
Whoosh!
A cold light flashed.
Fujitora's sword was unsheathed; it carried an overwhelming gravitational force, slicing fiercely through the air.
Buzz!
The sheer might of his Press-Press Fruit distorted the space before him.
Even Luke, along with the surrounding scenery, began to twist and blur.
"Boooom!!!"
In an instant, the entire alley was obliterated and was reduced to ruins.
Dust and debris billowed into the air.
"What!?"
However, Fujitora's expression changed drastically. There was no pride in success at all, but his whole expression changed in horror.
In an instant, in the horrified eyes of the surrounding Marines.
Flap! Flap! Flap!
Without any warning, countless blood-colored bats suddenly surged out from all directions and directly pounced on the unprepared Marines.
Then, their bodies shriveled at a visible rate, turning into dry, lifeless husks.
"Aaaahhh!!!"
"What are these!? Bats!?"
"Damn it, they're vampire bats!"
"Get off me, you demons!"
"Damn it! They won't die!"
Many marines struggled while dodging frantically.
Some reacted quickly, slashing with their swords and firing their guns, but what they saw next sent chills down their spines.
"Screeeee!!!"
The bats, even when sliced in half or riddled with bullets, simply split into more bats.
They kept flapping their wings and biting.
"Black Prison!"
Fujitora roared in fury.
With an overwhelming gravitational force, the bloodthirsty bats were crushed, plummeting to the ground.
One by one, they dissolved into pools of blood and sludge.
With powerful Observation Haki, Fujitora precisely locked onto the numerous bats.
But before he could strike again...
Whoosh... a ghostly figure darted forward like lightning.
With a speed too terrifying for the naked eye to perceive, even too fast to react to, it charged in.
Clang!!!
Sparks flew.
The staff blade infused with Armament Haki barely blocked the incoming claws.
Almost at the same time, Fujitora suddenly unleashed his ability.
"Trip to Hell!!!"
Crack...
The ground shattered.
A terrifying force field instantly enveloped Luke, making his body feel as heavy as a mountain.
Boom!
An immense gravitational force crashed down, making the ground collapse.
Luke, who seemed to be caught off guard, was blasted straight into the ground.
A bottomless circular pit appeared there.
But before Fujitora could breathe a sigh of relief and deal another blow...
Luke, who was supposed to be blasted into the ground, suddenly appeared behind Fujitora.
Whoosh...
A terrifying punch crashed through the air, distorting the atmosphere itself.
Wrapped in overwhelming Haki and interwoven with streaks of black and red lightning, it smashed forward with unstoppable might!
Clang!!!
Sparks erupted.
The force of the impact almost sent the blade flying from Fujitora's hands, making his expression change dramatically as he was blasted away like a cannonball by the monstrous strength.
"What a terrible monster... his strength is so strong..."
Fujitora felt numbness in his palm, and his wrist trembled violently.
Sensing the overwhelming presence approaching relentlessly, Fujitora gathered gravity into his blade and swung it fiercely.
"Raging Tiger!"
Buzz!
The gravity distorted the space itself.
Luke, who was in mid-pursuit, suddenly twisted unnaturally.
Fujitora's face contorted in shock as Luke dissolved into a cloud of black mist.
Behind him, several gun turrets were violently destroyed, exploding into flames.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing was piercing.
The blade wrapped in Armament Haki collided with the dark claws.
Fujitora, who had not yet stabilized his body, barely turned around.
He barely blocked Luke's ghostly-fast, almost unavoidable attack.
Flap... Flap... Flap...
But at that moment, Fujitora was horrified to realize that in mere moments, the entire G-5 base had plunged into darkness.
The sky had turned a blood-red hue.
A vast swarm of vampire bats had completely engulfed the base.
Inside, countless Marines had already turned into corpses.
A scene so terrifying that it sent chills down the spine.
Whoosh...
Fujitora's blade kept slashing, accumulating immense gravitational force before unleashing devastating strikes.
Boom!
Like rotten wood, the buildings in front of him twisted one after another and collapsed under the powerful gravity.
Whoosh!
Luke moved with incredible speed while flashing like lightning.
He evaded each gravitational field as if he could predict them in advance, dodging with eerie precision.
Whoosh...
The sound of fists tearing through the air echoed.
A barrage of punches, crackling with black and red lightning, tore through the atmosphere, pressing forward with relentless force.
Clang!
Without backing down, Fujitora's blade, charged with immense gravitational power, clashed wildly against the oncoming attacks.
The impact split the skin of Fujitora's hands while sending him staggering backward.
Each step shattered the ground beneath him.
Blood dripped from his palms, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
Swish!
The next moment, a flash of red light flashed in Luke's eyes.
