Seraph, this war weapon developed by Vegapunk, was originally designed with the hope of using its extreme power to eliminate pirates and bring true peace to the world.

Everything about Seraphim is born for fighting. In order to raise the upper limit of Seraphim, Vegapunk used the blood of "God's Clan" as the basis of the body and combined it with the bloodline factors of the strong to create the artificial Seraphim.

However, even the Seraphim created by this kind of technology still has an upper limit. The body of the God Clan is both a guarantee of the Seraphim's strength and the upper limit of the Seraphim's strength.

The powerful bloodline factor contained in the body of Seraph may not necessarily be fully utilized.

The S. Tsugumi Yoshiichirō who is now guarding the underground treasury of the new navy is the kind of Seraph who is unable to fully utilize the bloodline factors in his body.

No matter how this Seraphim learns or fights, his fighting power is not as good as that of the original Ji Guoyuan, and there is still a huge gap between his sword skills and those of the original.

Vegapunk spent the most effort on this Seraph. In order to make this Seraph replicate the combat power of Yoriichi Tsugakuni as much as possible, Vegapunk also took a different approach.

Since a pair of hands and a sword cannot restore the fighting power of Yuichi Tsugumi, then add more hands and more swords, so that the Seraphim can attack from angles that he originally could not. In this way, his fighting power will always be closer to Yuichi Tsugumi.

Similarly, in order to allow the Seraph's physical strength to transcend confinement and reach its limit, Vegapunk also tried every means to break the genetic lock of this body, trying his best to make the body match the upper realm, even if reaching that realm might destroy this body.

The aura emanating from S.Tsuguki Yoshiichirō became stronger and stronger. His outstretched six arms and the long sword in his hand that was shining with cold light gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Luffy's condition at this moment had changed greatly from before. The feeling of weakness in his body had long disappeared without a trace. Not only did his fatigue disappear, but even the wound on his chest had completely healed after being caressed by the white flame, leaving only a shallow scar.

At the same time, a new battle memory that did not exist before appeared in Luffy's mind. It was obviously the first time he used weapons and protective gear such as a spear and a round shield, but Luffy felt that the two things in his hands were as if they were something he had been born with. They were extremely familiar to him, and he used them very skillfully without any sense of awkwardness.

Everything that happened to Luffy was very inconsistent, but at this moment Luffy didn't even think about what was wrong.

He just felt that he could do anything now, and there was only one thought left in Luffy's mind at this time, that is to defeat the enemy in front of him, enter the treasure house of the new navy, and get the text of the landmark history!

"Step aside!!!"

Luffy's body sank slightly, with one hand holding the shield and the other holding the gun, just like a medieval warrior. Until now, Luffy still had a touch of kindness in his heart. If the enemy in front of him took the initiative to retreat, he would not continue to attack.

However, weapons like Seraph were not designed to evoke the emotion of fear.

"Boom!!!"

The one who responded to Luffy was the suddenly attacking S-Tsugukuni Yoriichi. The Seraphim without wings was still moving swiftly, and the speed of this Seraphim was even faster than before.

As he pushed the ground forward, a deep pit was created under the Seraph's feet, and cracks spread out in all directions like a spider web.

"call out--"

A sonic boom sounded in the corridor, and Luffy almost subconsciously raised his shield to block it. The moment the fire shield was raised above his head, two blades slammed into the shield with a loud bang.

At the same time, four sword shadows appeared in the corner of Luffy's eyes. While S. Tsugakure Kuniyoshi slashed down with the sword in both arms, the other four arms also moved together, swinging the swords directly from the left and right sides of Luffy, slashing at Luffy's ribs.

Two fists are no match for four hands. Although the Seraphim that is fighting with Luffy at this time does not have three heads, it does have six arms. Luffy only relies on the small fire shield in his hand to block the attack of the Seraphim. This is underestimating the strongest weapon of the New Navy!

"Eh--"

"This is too much!"

"He actually has four more arms than me! How can I block him?!"

Although Luffy was complaining, he still had a smile on his face. It seemed that such a crisis was nothing in Luffy's eyes.

Just when everyone was worried about Luffy, white flames suddenly spurted out from Luffy's ribs. The two balls of white flames quickly condensed into four arms, which actually blocked S. Tsugakure Yoriichi's attack directly.

The virtual white flame solidified into a solid entity the moment it touched the blade. The terrifying domineering auras of the two men collided with each other. The terrifying shock wave caused the ground to suddenly sink downward, and the ceiling was also shaken to the point of falling dust.

"What!?"

The changes that happened to Luffy not only made the Seraph who was fighting with him look frightened, but even Luffy's own companions cried out in surprise.

In their impression, the devil fruit that Luffy ate should be the parahuman-type rubber fruit. Even though the devil fruit has been awakened, they have never heard that the rubber fruit can also transform into white flames. Moreover, the white flames that are transformed can actually condense into a solid entity again to resist the enemy's terrifying slash surrounded by domineering aura.

Luffy has never used his abilities outside of the deep-rooted idea of ​​the "Rubber Fruit". But in fact, the awakened person in the Nika form can do anything he wants.

Transforming arms and condensing entities are just the most basic application methods. As long as the awakened person wants, no matter what kind of fantastic fighting method he wants, the Nika form can realize it. It is the embodiment of the so-called "free fighting".

At this moment, Luffy only had a thought, and his body had already undergone tremendous changes. Although Luffy has not completely adapted to this way of fighting in a short period of time, with time, Luffy will definitely be able to fully exert the terrifying combat power of the awakened state of the Rubber Fruit.

For Luffy, the battle with S-Tsugukuni Yoriichi was just a small test of this ability.

Seraph is firing at full power, and the long sword in his hand will not be delayed at all by Luffy's parry. Seraph's ability to capture blind spots is also extremely terrifying. He will not only attack the vital points, but also the opponent's head, chest, arms, calves, or insteps. As long as it is a place that Luffy's defense cannot reach, Satsuki Yoshiichi will attack with his sword.

The dense sword shadows created when the six arms were swung could easily cover Luffy. The terrifying attack forced Luffy to bend his body as much as possible so that the shield in his hand could defend more areas.

Even though Luffy used his ability to conjure up an arm, he could only fend off hastily in front of Seraph. Not to mention launching a counterattack, even his parrying was repeatedly caught by Seraph.

In just a blink of an eye, Luffy's body was covered with several bloody marks. The knife wounds were in different locations, some deep and some shallow. Luffy could not resist this crushing sword skill at all.

"hateful!"

Under the violent attack, Luffy lost his patience and the smile on his face disappeared without a trace. He cursed in his heart and suddenly pressed forward the fire shield in his hand to attack S. Tsugakure Yoshiichi's face, but in return he was hit by three swords and six holes.

S.Tsugumi Yoshiichi's three long swords found the angle, bypassed the shield's defense and stabbed Luffy's body from three directions. Luffy, who was unable to react in time, avoided the vital points, but his body was pierced by the long swords. His shield attack was also easily blocked by S.Tsugumi Yoshiichi waving his other arms.

The attack failed, and the enemy took the opportunity to stab Luffy. It seemed that Luffy was in great danger, but in fact, with the recoil of the opponent's parry, Luffy quickly jumped back and created some distance between himself and S Tsugakuko Yoshiichi, getting some breathing space.

White flames overflowed from Luffy's body and covered the wounds on his body in the blink of an eye. This white flame seemed to have extraordinary healing power. After the flame covered the wounds, the bleeding stopped immediately.

This strange phenomenon also made those companions who were worried about Luffy's injury feel a little relieved.

Coby, Brook and others have always believed that Luffy ate the parahuman rubber fruit, and that his awakening was just the awakening of a parahuman devil fruit.

But what they didn't know was that the devil fruit Luffy ate was a mythical beast.

The awakening of the mythical beast-type devil fruit often has a characteristic, which is super-fast regeneration ability.

Although Luffy only has a vague understanding of the ability of his devil fruit and has always been shouting "rubber, rubber" during fights, when the mythical beast-type Nika fruit awakens, Luffy also gains the power of super-fast regeneration.

If it weren't for this power constantly repairing Luffy's wounds, in just that moment of fighting with S. Tsugakure Yoriichi at full power, Luffy would probably have been covered in wounds and lost his combat effectiveness due to excessive blood loss.

The reason why Luffy has been able to hold on until now in the hands of S. Tsugakuni Yoriichi is entirely due to his super-fast regeneration ability.

No matter what kind of scars S.Tsujikuni Yoriichi left on Luffy, the white flame on Luffy's body can always repair Luffy's injuries.

Of course, this super-speed regeneration is not without cost. Luffy's physical energy is rapidly consumed during the battle.

Luffy, who was originally full of energy due to awakening, now felt a strong sense of hunger and weakness.

The body's energy is rapidly consumed, and eating is an important way for Luffy to recover.

But at this moment, there is no food that can help Luffy recover his strength.

"Boom!!!"

Luffy, who had just tried every means to distance himself, immediately heard an explosion in his ears. The Seraph rushed in front of Luffy again and launched an attack. The dense sword shadows once again enveloped Luffy, forcing Luffy to retreat. In a moment, he had been forced to retreat dozens of meters away from the treasure house gate.

"I can't break through. Why can't I break through?!"

While blocking and parrying, Luffy was also looking for the enemy's flaws. Under the enemy's suppression, the flaming spear would occasionally point at the opponent's face in an attempt to exploit the enemy's flaws. But what made Luffy feel desperate was that no matter how he fought back, the enemy could always easily resolve it with a wave of the sword.

The six long swords seemed to be completely integrated into the body of the Seraph, without any flaws at all.

The successive defeats also made Luffy impatient. He felt that he was being weakened by the opponent, but the enemy was.
"Um?!"

After calming down a little, Luffy suddenly realized that the enemy in front of him was not as intimidating as he had thought.

At this time, the flames behind the Seraphim's body had disappeared without a trace. His originally fair skin now looked blood red, and the red markings on his face were also extremely obvious. His breath was becoming more and more rapid. Compared with his previous state, it was a world of difference.

“This guy’s got a huge load too!!!”

In just a moment, Luffy had come to the conclusion that it was normal for a true top-level warrior to fight the enemy for two or three days or even seven or eight days at full strength, but it was impossible to maintain combat effectiveness for such a long time if the body was overloaded.

Whether it is S-Tsugukuni Yoriichi at this time, or Luffy in Nika state, they cannot fight for too long in this state. Both of them have shown signs of great fatigue at this time.

As for the rest, the competition is not about who is stronger in absolute combat power, but about who will collapse first.

Luffy really had no ability to fight back, but he had no problem delaying time. Although Seraph's attacks were successful several times, they were meaningless in the face of Luffy's super-speed regeneration.

As for Luffy, there is no need for him to break through the enemy's attack. He just needs to hold on until the enemy can't hold on anymore, and then he can easily win.

As for Abel, who has regained some mobility?
As long as they can defeat the guy in front of them, the Straw Hat Pirates will always be able to find a way to break through!

At this moment, the encounter has turned into a tug-of-war, a competition of the physical potential of both sides.

And the result is actually obvious.

How can the upper limit of artificial humans be compared with the real child of destiny?

Luffy didn't know how long the enemy's attack lasted. He only felt that the hand holding the shield was completely numb, and his vision had double due to his weakness. Everything he did was left to instinct.

But correspondingly, the enemy's attacks gradually became traceable and able to be resisted.

The Seraph's mobility is also declining, and its fierce offensive is no longer so dangerous.

Just when Luffy felt that he could no longer hold on, the whistling of the knife in his ears suddenly stopped.

The Seraphim who was attacking with six arms and swords suddenly stopped moving. White steam rose from his body and wrapped around him.

The Seraph has reached the threshold and has completely lost the strength to fight again.

However, Luffy was still immersed in the battle, his body instinctively dodging and resisting, until his companions cheered, Luffy noticed something, stopped in a daze, and looked forward.
