NOVEL WEB Chapter 38 Fourth Gear Luffy Vs Hawkeye
"Uta, you take Zoro for treatment first."
Luffy told Uta, and then answered Hawkeye.
"If Shanks only ever met one person who was born to be a king, it would be me."
Hawkeye's eyes flickered and he looked a little excited as he said.
"The redhead told me about you, masterfully mastering the Conqueror's at just seven years old."
"You are indeed a rare genius."
"His high opinion of you made me interested in you too."
"Boy, your name is..."
Luffy replied.
"Monkey D. Luffy!"
"D?"
Hawkeye muttered.
Suddenly, the black knife from behind was pulled out again.
Looking at Luffy seriously, he said.
"Monkey D. Luffy! Come on!"
"Let me see what kind of genius can the red-haired man appreciate so much?"
Seeing Hawkeye suddenly draw a knife on Luffy, Uta suddenly panicked.
"Hawkeye, what are you going to do?"
"Luffy, he is mine...my captain. If you dare to hurt him, I will not let you go."
Hawkeye's eyes were still fixed on Luffy and he said calmly.
"I'm just testing the level of the man the red-haired man likes. I won't kill him."
Uta wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Luffy.
"Okay, Uta, I'm fine."
"Take Zoro for treatment quickly!"
In fact, Luffy really wants to fight Hawkeye.
Hawkeye is the most powerful being in the world.
If you can fight with such a person with all your strength once, the improvement you get will definitely be huge.
And since Luffy has become stronger and stronger, and his physique has become stronger and stronger, he has not used his [Extreme Strengthening] ability for a long time.
[Extreme Strengthening: When your body function reaches its limit, after adequate rest, your physical fitness will achieve a breakthrough and be greatly improved. 】
Because he could not meet a suitable opponent, and because his current strength could no longer reach its limit through practice alone, Luffy had not used this skill for many years.
If this ability is used now, the improvement obtained may allow Luffy to break through and cross a level of strength in one fell swoop.
Seeing that Luffy had said this, Uta couldn't stop him anymore and just warned him.
"Then you have to be careful, this guy is very strong."
In fact, even Uta doesn't know how strong Luffy is at full strength, but she was so impressed by Hawkeye during their sparring session with Shanks that she is still worried about Luffy.
After Uta brought Zoro back to Barati, he searched for medicine and bandages on the ship and simply treated him.
As for Luffy and Hawkeye.
Hawkeye raised the black knife, pointed it at Luffy, and said.
"Come on, Straw Hat!"
Luffy didn't talk nonsense after hearing this.
He just fought with the mentality of using Hawkeye as a sparring partner.
Therefore, in addition to training and improving Armament Haki and Observation Haki, you must also develop your own limits and completely drain all your physical strength and Haki.
In this way, when he recovers again, his strength will make a qualitative leap.
Then Luffy raised his right hand, and a touch of black appeared on it.
Then, he raised his armored arm to his mouth.
"Fourth gear!"
Luffy's deep voice sounded.
Immediately afterwards, Luffy's arm, reinforced by the weapon color, quickly expanded in a twisted shape like a balloon.
Like air flowing through his body, the twisted state of expansion spread throughout his body, and his entire body also expanded.
The next second, a fourth-gear Luffy with an upper body as huge as a giant, legs as slender as springs, and an evil face appeared in front of Hawkeye.
His arms were as black as a red-hot Iron Body, and the sweat evaporated like white auspicious clouds, lingering around his body like ribbons.
Fourth gear is the result of extreme development and application of Armament Haki.
In this state, Luffy can improve and strengthen Armament Haki most quickly through heaven-defying comprehension.
Looking at Luffy, whose momentum suddenly exploded, Hawkeye's eyes brightened significantly.
"Not bad Haki, your weapon color can already be listed as a strong one."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hawkeye suddenly burst out with a strong aura.
His sword seemed to be floating with wisps of green energy, and his aura suddenly rose to an unparalleled height.
"rubber......"
Luffy shouted softly.
Retract the huge fist into the body like a spring, and use the strong elasticity to double the attack power generated by the fist.
Next, use your slender legs to compress and spray the air.
The whole body suddenly surged forward with the help of the jet, and the distance between him and Hawkeye was covered in an instant.
"...Ape King Spear!"
As Luffy shouted loudly, a huge fist accelerated by elasticity suddenly shot out and hit Hawkeye.
It was like a cannon being ejected from the barrel, making a roaring sound.
Hawkeye's gaze was focused, holding the knife in both hands, and his body shape changed rapidly at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.
The attack, which was launched only a few meters away, was easily blocked by Hawkeye.
boom!
With a roar, Luffy was knocked back by Hawkeye's powerful sword energy.
"Is that all?"
Hawkeye frowned slightly, looking dissatisfied.
Luffy, on the other hand, grinned with a happy expression.
Because in his mind...
"Your understanding is heaven-defying, and through combat realization, your Armament Haki is strengthened!"
When fighting against such a strong person, the more powerful the attack, the more improvements you will get.
And he came to fight with the mentality of letting Hawkeye be a free sparring partner, so he naturally wanted to squeeze Hawkeye.
If after using his strongest moves at once, Hawkeye is no longer interested in playing with him, then it will be a wasted opportunity.
"It's not over yet!"
Luffy responded.
Then he retracted both fists towards his body at the same time.
His legs spurted air and he leaped into the air.
Then aim for the eagle eye.
"Rubber·Ape King Crow Cannon!"
