One Piece: Shadow monarch? I'm Just Logistics!

Chapter 184: The New King of Effort

Under the high temperatures of the Blazing Hell, the poison covering the ground continuously evaporated, and a red poison mist gradually spread.

An azure flame surged from Reiner's palm, engulfing Magellan. A moment later, the azure flame retracted back into his palm, transforming into a single, leaping flame.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Footsteps approached. Several figures ran out from a room at the edge of the fourth level.

It was Robin's group, who had gone to search for the antidote, now running over in protective suits and gas masks.

A transformed Chopper pulled a cart filled with antidotes and various pieces of protective gear.

The entire fourth level had almost turned into a venomous purgatory. Countless prisoners, affected by the battle, were lying on the ground. Even in protective suits, they didn't dare to be careless.

Usopp, sitting on the cart, took out a vial and threw it. "Reiner, catch!"

"Oh, just in time!" Reiner raised his hand and caught the vial, broke the top, and poured it into his mouth.

Because he had held his breath in time, he had inhaled almost no poison gas.

However, this evaporated poison gas could take effect just by contacting the skin. Although its effect was not as strong as the viscous venom, it was not to be underestimated.

Below, the boiling sea of fire continuously gave off scorching high temperatures.

Tossing the bottle aside, Reiner led the group through the bridges, rushing towards the stairwell leading to the fifth level.

At the same time as the battle in the Blazing Hell concluded, Luffy and the others in the Freezing Hell were also engaged in a fierce battle.

This place was a world of ice and snow. Thick snow weighed down on the pine trees, and the whistling cold wind was bone-chilling.

The forest was filled with a large number of army wolves, even more ferocious than those in the Wild Beast Hell. At this moment, however, they were fleeing frantically as if they had encountered something terrifying.

In the depths of the forest, a thick white fog permeated.

Luffy's group, advancing like a hot knife through butter, was finally intercepted here.

Boom!!

Blue lightning and a fist condensed from white smoke collided in the air and exploded. A figure broke free from it.

"White Launcher!"

A cigar swirled with smoke at the corner of Smoker's mouth. His lower body transformed into gushing smoke, propelling his body forward at extreme speed.

Bang!

The Clima-Tact blocked the fist coated in Armament Haki. A powerful force was transmitted, sending her flying.

Crackle!

Nami transformed into lightning and flashed onto the snowy ground, re-forming into her solid body. She couldn't help but frown at her opponent.

Both were Logia users, but their attributes had no particular advantage over each other.

She was the faster and more powerful lightning, yet she still couldn't harm the smoke.

On the contrary, the opponent's Armament Haki could attack her.

After sending Nami flying, Smoker decisively turned and rushed towards the others. The opponent was too fast; there was no point in getting entangled with her.

"Room: Amputate!"

A transparent hemisphere expanded, instantly enveloping him. An invisible slash seemed to ignore space and split his body in two!

"Surgeon of Death, Trafalgar Law."

Smoker stared at the person who had attacked him. Part of his arm turned into gushing white smoke, pushing his fist as it dived down.

"Shambles!"

Law's palm faced the sky, his three middle fingers slightly bent and turning. His entire person was replaced by a tree branch and vanished from the spot.

Just as he reappeared in another location, his pupils suddenly constricted.

As if having predicted his landing spot in advance, Smoker's other fist suddenly appeared before his eyes!

"White Snake!"

Bang!

A massive fist viciously embedded itself in his abdomen. Law couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his body sent flying backward and crashing heavily onto the ground, kicking up countless snowflakes.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several cannonballs whistled out of Bege's body, piercing through a cloud of white smoke and flying straight into the distance to explode.

Boom!

Using the strong blast of wind behind him, Smoker flew towards Bege even faster. His arms transformed into a large cloud of white smoke, enveloping both him and Urouge behind him.

The cigar at the corner of his mouth burned a little brighter. The faint glow of fire in the thick smoke suddenly expanded!

"White Out!"

Boom!!!

A deafening roar erupted. Before the terrified eyes of Luffy and the others, a column of black smoke shot up into the sky, intermingled with dancing, burning embers.

The figures of Bege and Urouge were revealed within it, their skin charred black, revealing pink flesh underneath. Their eyes rolled back as they slowly collapsed to the ground!

Smoker's movements didn't pause for a moment, his eyes hardening.

The scorching thick smoke, under his control, rolled forward like a tsunami!

"Black Smoke: Burning Embers Linking Cities!"

The black mist, carrying high temperatures, swept over everything. Wherever it passed, the flying snow melted, and a large cloud of burning smoke instantly engulfed everyone!

"So hot!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Zoro covered his mouth with his arm, feeling the fiery burning sensation all over his body, his eyes filled with apprehension.

He swung his longsword horizontally, and a powerful gust of wind blew out a vacuum zone.

"This guy, when did he get so strong?"

"We're not the only ones making progress, Roronoa!"

With a loud roar, a gap suddenly appeared in the black mist, and Smoker broke free from the thick smoke and charged out!

During the day, I'm a sandbag for warships. At night, I'm a sandbag for Garp.

Enduring that hellish training every day, his strength had improved in all aspects.

A corner of Smoker's mouth lifted. "I didn't expect to run into you here. Today, I'll definitely catch you all in one go! It'll save me a trip!"

Faced with the aggressive Smoker, Zoro's gaze focused. Haki, black as ink, imbued his blade from his wrist.

He bent his arms and raised them above his head, twisted his body, and three thick green slashes flew out.

"Three Sword Style: 108 Pound Phoenix!"

Just as the flying slash was launched, Smoker's Observation Haki had already warned him, and his body dispersed into smoke in advance!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The slash passed through the open hole. The white smoke re-condensed into his figure in front of Zoro.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

His pitch-black fists struck out one after another, continuously clashing with the longsword. His body of flesh and blood was as hard as steel, striking against the black longsword and creating a shower of sparks.

"Troublesome guy. There's no time to waste on him!"

Bang!

Sanji bit down on the cigarette at the corner of his mouth, and with a mighty stomp, a dull sonic boom sounded. He transformed into a black streak of light and shot straight up.

His right leg, friction with the air causing flames to rapidly spread over it, trailed a long tail of fire as it arrived at the opponent's side.

"Diable Jambe: Joue Shoot!!"

Bang!!

A leg like scorching magma kicked out swiftly, a full-power blow!

Smoker quickly raised his right arm to block, but was shocked by the heavy blow from that leg.

Bang!!

He only felt his arm go numb, as if it had been hit by a mountain. The terrifying force instantly twisted his arm.

Then his entire person shot backward like an arrow from a bow, his back scraping along the snow and plowing a trench dozens of meters long.

"Tch, meddling, you stinky cook."

Zoro spread his legs into a half-squat. His outstretched arms gripped his longswords, and his aura suddenly erupted!

Bang!

The ground beneath his feet shattered, kicking up a cascade of snow. He dragged his two sharp blades, breaking through the air straight towards the figure that had been sent flying.

"Three Sword Style: Rengoku Oni Giri!!"

Clang—!

Smoker dispersed into smoke but was still hit by the slash that enveloped the entire space.

A splash of blood flew onto the snow. The white smoke surged and surrounded Zoro. Just as he was about to swing his sword again to cut it down, the rolling smoke expanded once more!

This is bad!

This is the move that just blasted Bege and Urouge!

"White Out!!"

Boom!!!

Smoker endured the pain and gritted his teeth, detonating the smoke. A pillar of fire shot up into the sky, and a green figure was sent flying out, crashing to the ground.

"This bastard Smoker."

Zoro, charred black, used his longsword to prop himself up, his mind beginning to race.

Even if they could defeat him, it would take a lot of time. And to deal with a Logia user, they could only rely on the power of Haki.

Instead of all being held up here, it would be better for him and Sanji to stay behind and hold him off in turn.

Having made up his mind, he hurriedly turned his head and shouted, "Luffy! You guys go first! Leave this guy to me and the damn cook!"

"..."

"I understand! Zoro! Sanji! I'm counting on you!!"

Hearing his voice, Luffy only paused for a moment, then decisively rushed in the direction Perona had pointed.

He believed that Zoro and Sanji would be fine, just as he believed that Reiner could defeat Magellan.

"Don't think about running, Straw Hat!" Smoker shouted, changing direction and flying at high speed towards Luffy.

However, someone was faster than him!

Crackle!

"Thunderbolt Tempo!!"

Boom!!

A bolt of lightning struck down. The violent energy exploded, blasting the white smoke apart.

Several electric arcs condensed into Nami's figure behind Luffy. A corner of her mouth lifted slightly. "It won't be that easy for you to catch up."

"Cat Burglar Nami, do you think you can stop me?"

A few wisps of white smoke swirled and solidified. Smoker's face was grim as he was about to knock Nami back and give chase.

A gold and a green figure appeared simultaneously, blocking his path.

"Your opponent is us."

Sanji took the cigarette from his mouth and stubbed it out, speaking in a low voice, "Whether we can stop you is not for you to decide."
