Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Before Magellan could react, a tremendous impact struck his abdomen. He groaned and slid backward uncontrollably, his feet carving deep furrows in the ground.

What followed was excruciating pain, as if his internal organs were churning, which made him cough violently.

He looked up in disbelief and saw Luffy floating in the air, one hand aiming and the other hand retracting backward as if firing a shot.

In that attack just now, Luffy's hand didn't even make contact with him!

“Your abilities do seem quite challenging,”

Luffy lowered his hand, his tone calm, "But as long as we don't touch, it'll be fine, right?"

He immediately saw the greatest threat to Magellan's abilities.

That ubiquitous contact toxin.

Troublesome as it may be, how many troublesome Devil Fruit users has Luffy encountered before?

Logia-type Aokiji and Enel with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, aren't they both troublesome abilities?

He was used to finding solutions in battle.

Although the rubber-jet pistol shot from a distance hit its mark, Magellan did not appear to be seriously injured.

Aside from the trouble caused by the Venom-Venom Fruit, the director's physique and build were clearly not to be underestimated.

Magellan struggled to stand up, clutching his still throbbing abdomen, and looked at Luffy with some surprise: "Is this a special development of your Devil Fruit ability? It seems your techniques are also quite adept at ranged attacks that don't involve physical contact."

He admitted that he had been careless just now; that powerful punch from a distance contained extremely concentrated domineering energy and had astonishing destructive power.

This straw hat kid is not only highly skilled in domineering techniques, but also has an absurdly strong physique and strength.

"But you can't maintain this form forever, right? Maintaining both the high-intensity output of Haki and the use of Devil Fruit abilities at the same time would consume a huge amount of your stamina."

Magellan quickly calmed down and began to analyze his opponent's weaknesses.

He was able to sit in the position of Warden of Impel Down and be crowned with the title of the strongest, and this was by no means an empty title. He had extremely rich combat experience.

Moreover, the poison gas has already spread to Luffy's vicinity, and soon this space will become his absolute poison gas domain.

"it's useless."

Luffy saw through his thoughts and shook his head. "Imperial City is not a completely enclosed area. It's a large space. Your poisonous fog can't completely cover me, let alone reach a concentration that I can't escape in a short time."

After saying that, he took a deep breath, his chest bulging out.

"Rubber, plus balloons!"

He vomited forcefully.

call!

A powerful gust of air, like a storm, burst from his mouth, instantly scattering the poisonous gas that had gathered around him, and the air became clear.

“Unless your poison fog can instantly spread throughout Impel Down, this method will have limited effect on me,” Luffy said.

Moreover, perhaps some trace of toxicity entered his body through respiration, because a faint warning sound had been ringing in his ears since earlier.

[Toxicity Resistance +1]

[Toxicity Resistance +1]

.......

This feeling is very similar to the prompts that appeared when I was fighting Aokiji's troublesome freezing ability in my dream.

[Cold resistance +1].

At that rate, it probably won't be long before his body develops a considerable degree of resistance to Magellan's poison.

It's not impossible to even achieve immunity.

Magellan was naturally unaware of the strange changes occurring in Luffy, but as a poison-wielding individual, he possessed an extremely keen sensitivity to toxins.

He could clearly feel that the effect of the poison gas he was emitting on Luffy was gradually weakening, although the effect was small, it was still there.

Is it some kind of special ability or physical condition that's adapting?

Magellan felt a chill run down his spine. "Let's see if my poison is strong enough, or if you can last longer!"

He held back no longer, and the venom gushing from his body began to darken in color and become more viscous.

A deeper, more potent venom surged from his body, converging behind him to form three enormous, ferocious purple venom dragons!

"Poison Dragon!"

Magellan let out a low growl.

Three purple poisonous dragons roared silently and pounced on Luffy from three different angles!

puff!

puff!

puff!

The poisonous dragon crashed into the ground where Luffy had just been standing, splashing out large clumps of purple venom.

However, Luffy was no longer there.

The next second, he appeared behind Magellan like a ghost, and swung his fist, which was covered in dark and domineering energy.

"Rubber Jet Pistol Plus!"

pat!

A muffled thud!

Magellan's venom automatically coalesced, forming a thick poison shield that barely blocked the swift attack.

Venom splattered everywhere, but more venom was replenished from Magellan's body, and the dispersed venom was slowly returning to its original shape.

"Hey,"

Luffy retreated immediately after his attack, glancing at the writhing, recovering poisonous dragon. "The Venom-Venom Fruit... is it really a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit?"

The venom's shape changes much like those of natural venom.

“each other,”

Magellan turned around, the poison dragon swirling around him with ease. "Your Gum-Gum Fruit doesn't seem like a standard Paramecia-type."

Isn't shape-changing a power unique to Zoan-type Devil Fruits?

That was a very accurate guess.

Luffy often has to admire the vision of these strong individuals.

If it weren't for the inherent steel seal that confines their minds, they would definitely be able to guess that the Gum-Gum Fruit is not a Paramecia type.

In fact, there isn't even a Devil Fruit called the Gum-Gum Fruit.

Magellan stared at Luffy and said, "How long can you hold on? My poison doesn't just work through breathing; it permeates the air and seeps into your skin little by little through your pores."

Little by little, it adds up.

Although Luffy repeatedly blew away the poisonous fog, the poisonous dragon kept appearing, being dispersed, and then coalescing again.

This process itself is continuously polluting the air in this area.

Even without direct contact, staying here for a long time will cause a large amount of toxins to accumulate in the body.

Therefore, we absolutely cannot engage in a protracted war with Magellan here.

The danger of toxins lies in their persistence and cumulative effects.

"Your abilities are quite good,"

Luffy gripped the demonic short blade in his hand tightly. With a telepathic connection, the short blade quickly extended and transformed back into a katana. "However, its power is still too weak in the face of true Haki!"

The surging Armament Haki, like a black tide, instantly wrapped around the demonic blade, dyeing it a deep, dark black.

Immediately afterwards, black and red arcs of electricity began to leap and flicker on his arm and the blade, emitting soft crackling sounds.

A terrifying pressure that sent chills down one's spine spread out.

That was the entanglement of Conqueror's Haki!

Luffy moved!

His figure seemed to merge into the air, completely disappearing from Magellan's sight, leaving only a blurry afterimage and a piercing sound of air being torn apart.

The heavy, oppressive feeling in the air caused Magellan's eyelids to twitch violently.

"So fast!"

Magellan's mind was on high alert, and if he were to be struck head-on by that black and red lightning-wrapped blade, he would definitely die!

"Roar!"

Without Magellan's deliberate command, the poisonous dragons surrounding him seemed to sense a deadly threat and automatically moved towards the rapidly approaching black shadow.

However, Luffy's sword swings were faster than anyone could have imagined.

The blade flashed like black lightning, weaving through the purple venomous dragons.

Swish!Swish!

Swish!Swish!

As the blades flashed, the ferocious poisonous dragons were sliced ​​in two by the sharp blades imbued with Conqueror's Haki before they could even launch an effective attack.

The domineering power not only endowed the blade with unparalleled cutting force, but also suppressed the activity of the venom to a certain extent. The severed venomous dragon could not regenerate as quickly as before, but instead exploded, turning into pools of inactive venom that splashed onto the ground, corroding it into countless holes.

"This guy is actually a great swordsman?!"

Magellan's expression was extremely grave; he had thought Luffy was simply using the sword as a convenient weapon.

Because at the beginning of their fight, Luffy's attack method was purely physical combat combined with the power of the Gum-Gum Fruit.

The swordsmanship he is now displaying is not only not weak, but terrifyingly sharp!

Where exactly is this guy's limit?

Do people really have that much time and energy to learn these things?

Magellan roared, and the remaining poisonous dragons all gathered together and merged into one.

"Oh? Will it get even bigger?"
