One Piece: Starting from Awakening the Cosmo at Marineford

Rayleigh then turned his head and squinted at Aaron, who was already wearing the Phoenix Cloth.

"This marine is interesting."

Jinbe said, "I'll take care of him."

Rayleigh said, "No rush. Let Luffy vent his anger and run wild first."

Aaron hadn't even arrived yet, but his voice already was: "Straw Hat Luffy! I'm your opponent!"

Luffy punched a nearby marine away and turned to look at Aaron.

Normally, his eyes would light up at the sight of that mecha suit.

But now that his boss had just died, he wasn't in the mood for that; he just stared intently into Aaron's eyes.

With several dozen meters to go, Aaron jumped into the air and threw a punch.

"Hellish Whirlwind!"

A pillar of fire appeared out of nowhere, heading diagonally downwards and crashing down on Luffy.

"Oh no, it's the power of fire!"

Jinbe clicked his tongue in surprise and quickly looked at Luffy, whose figure seemed to be trembling slightly due to emotional excitement.

Jinbe said, "Oh no. This move is somewhat similar to Ace's Fire Fist. I'm afraid Luffy might not be able to handle the stimulation."

Rayleigh's face also showed a hint of worry: "Let's see. Luffy isn't that fragile yet."

"You are not worthy to use the power of fire!"

When Luffy saw the flames, his eyes widened in fury, quickly becoming bloodshot.

"Second gear!"

Luffy crouched down, and steam instantly rose from his body.

Luffy's figure vanished instantly, only to reappear in mid-air the next second.

"JET pistol!"

"Well done!"

Luffy's speed is undeniably fast.

But Aaron was faster!

The Bronze Saints' punching and movement speeds can reach the speed of sound, a level that Luffy hasn't reached yet.

Aaron saw the trajectory of Luffy's attack and reached out with his left hand, grabbing Luffy's wrist.

The moment Luffy's right hand was grabbed, he reacted immediately.

"JET Dual Guns!"

Luffy suddenly pulled his right hand back and pushed his left palm forward.

With a "clang!" a hand struck Aaron's Saint Cloth on his chest, producing a crisp sound.

Aaron smiled slightly: "In your current state, you can't break through my defenses!"

Aaron threw a punch, which sliced ​​through the air and produced a slight popping sound.

With a loud "bang," Aaron's fist struck Luffy in the stomach, sending him flying.

Aaron's left hand did not loosen; it still gripped Luffy's right hand, stretching his arm to over ten meters long.

Aaron finally let go of Luffy as he landed on the ground.

The arm retracted very quickly. Since this was not Luffy's free retraction, but rather a passive retraction after being stretched, there was another "smack" sound as his right arm struck Luffy's chest.

Aaron landed back on the ground, pushed off with his feet, and charged towards Luffy.

"Sonic boom!"

Rayleigh knew that when an object moves at a certain speed, it will instantly displace a huge amount of air, causing a sonic boom.

He had not only encountered some strong individuals, but he himself could also easily achieve that speed.

However, this marine looks very young, how could he possibly have reached this level?

Rayleigh frowned.

Jinbe became even more worried: "Rayleigh, this marine seems very strong. Luffy might get hurt."

Rayleigh frowned as well: "Let's wait and see. Luffy is in the middle of a heated fight, and he's really angry. If you intervene now, you'll spoil his fun."

"All right."

Jinbe could only continue watching Luffy's battle not far away.

Aaron and Luffy had exchanged more than a dozen punches in the blink of an eye, and Aaron was not at a disadvantage.

The marines had already positioned themselves more than a hundred meters behind Aaron, looking at him anxiously.

Dozens of marines ran over from a short distance away, all of them carrying weapons.

The battle between Aaron and Luffy was so intense that after they pushed each other away, they were fighting again in less than a second.

The interval was so brief that they couldn't find an opportunity to fire.

"Go! Go!"

The marines began cheering for Aaron; they couldn't do anything else to help.

I don't know when, but a few reporters appeared on the sidelines, taking pictures with their cameras.

Aaron and Luffy fought fiercely for almost ten minutes, and Aaron became more and more adept at controlling his body, and his techniques became more refined.

"That's enough, I'm not playing with you anymore!"

Aaron understood that Rayleigh and Jinbe were still watching, and that once he defeated Luffy, the two of them would definitely intervene.

But now that reporters were present, Aaron didn't want to delay any longer, just to save face for the Navy.

"Phoenix Illusion Demon Fist!"

A golden light shot out from between Aaron's right index fingers and instantly disappeared into Luffy's forehead.

Luffy froze, stopping his movements.

He stood there, staring wide-eyed, his pupils contracting sharply with fear.

The Phoenix Illusion Fist is a fist that shatters the spirit. It attacks the enemy from the mental level, amplifying the darkness and fear in their hearts infinitely until their will is completely destroyed and they are reduced to idiots.

Luffy has just experienced Ace's death, and Ace died protecting him by taking a magma punch, dying right in front of him.

This fear is a permanent wound in Luffy's heart.

At this moment, that scene was replaying in Luffy's mind over and over again.

"Something's wrong, something's really wrong!"

Rayleigh didn't understand why Luffy suddenly stopped fighting. Could it be that his wounds had reopened?

But there was no blood seeping out from those bandages.

Rayleigh quickly figured it out and immediately concluded: "The problem lies in that marine's technique, the Phoenix Illusion Demon Fist. What kind of fist is that?"

Jinbe shook his head: "I don't know. In all my decades at sea, this is the first time I've heard of this kind of boxing."

Rayleigh said, "The problem must lie in the words 'phantom demon'."

Jinbe took a step forward, ready to help.

Just then, Luffy collapsed to his knees, looking up and screaming at the top of his lungs, "Ace!"

Jinbe was shocked: "Oh no! Luffy's mental state has collapsed!"

On Amazon Lily, Luffy was in a similar state when he first woke up from his coma.

Moreover, as Luffy screamed, his bandages became soaked with blood, and his wounds burst open.

"Luffy-kun!" Jinbe shouted anxiously and ran over.

Seeing this, Aaron coldly said, "I'm sorry, but I'll end your suffering myself!"

"Phoenix Feather!"

Aaron's three phoenix feathers fluttered and danced behind him, flying out from under his ribs and piercing straight towards Luffy's throat.

Aaron knew that if he stabbed Luffy, Luffy would most likely die on the spot.

However, it's not that easy.

Rayleigh moved.

Aaron felt a gust of wind rushing towards him.

"Marine! You've gone too far!"

With a loud thud, Rayleigh's foot struck Aaron in the chest.

Aaron's body was kicked away by the enormous force, flying more than a hundred meters away like a cannonball.

Aaron landed on the ground and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"What a brilliant move by Rayleigh, the Dark Lord!"
