Poison warfare can achieve considerable results at a low cost, and is a method that many people like to use.
Poisoned blades, arrows, and even the fine needles used by Gel can determine victory the moment they pierce the skin.
The poison used by Gel is not lethal, but its strong paralyzing effect can end the battle immediately.
As a Poison Hunter, she was skilled in both using and neutralizing poisons. Yet, she still fell into Law's hands.
'How did he do it?'
After injecting herself with an antidote, Gel's expression darkened. Anyone in her situation would feel just as frustrated.
When Law reminded her to use the antidote, it was an undeniable sign of her complete defeat.
This can be considered as Gel's bad luck, as Law's White Smoke Font is too unreasonable, and there is also God Hand that restrains poisons.
The combination of the two is completely Gel's nemesis. On top of that, the current weather conditions gave Law even more advantages.
But more importantly, Law had drawn Gel into his rhythm. Neither of them knew each other's abilities beforehand, yet through superior combat analysis, Law had seized the upper hand.
"The antidote takes five minutes to fully neutralize the poison. I'll wait for you." Through the curtain of rain, Law gazed at Gel calmly.
Upon hearing Law's words, Gel's Aura changed. Her face darkened, and a sharp, furious feeling radiated from her Aura.
"Are you...looking down on me?"
Before she even finished speaking, Gel's Aura surged, and she dashed across the water, closing the distance to Law in an instant.
With her natural poison resistance and combined with a specially formulated antidote, she didn't need to wait five minutes at all.
Her Aura carried her emotions like a storm, repelling the falling rain as she moved.
Her fists, glowing with a dazzling light, struck toward Law's face and abdomen like twin bolts of lightning cutting through the night.
This time, Law did not take advantage of the environment, nor did he choose to retreat. Instead, he simply extended both hands and caught Gel's incoming fists.
After exchanging more than twenty blows earlier, he had already figured out Gel's trump cards and confirmed that he could withstand the destructive force of her punches.
After holding Gel's fists, Law used his ability and begin to crush the Aura on Gel's fists.
Swish, swish, swish!"
The glow on Gel's fists shattered into fragments and dissipated.
"What?!"
Gel's expression changed drastically and she immediately lashed out with a kick aimed at Law's lower body. She's not Biscuit, so how can she hold back in a fight like this.
Seeing this, Law just laughed. He was far too familiar with this scenario, as there had been at least ten similar situations during his spar with Biscuit. The only difference was that Biscuit wouldn't aim for his lower body, but his abdomen instead.
In this situation, Law has more than five ways to deal with it, and the most suitable one right now is...
Law swiftly closed his legs, clamping Gel's calf that was kicking him. Then, with a sharp twist, he threw her off balance, forcing her to topple sideways.
As soon as Gel realized her leg had been trapped, she knew things were bad. She tried to expel the poison from her body at maximum efficiency, but Law's Domain conveniently blocked it from reaching him.
With her attack failing and her balance destroyed, Gel crashed into the water, sending up a splash.
Law took advantage of the situation and pressed down on Gel, restraining her movements while continuously stripping away Gel's Aura with his ability
He did not choose to remove Gel's fists, nor did he withdraw his hands and knock Gel on the chest with his elbow when she fell to the ground, because he and Gel had no grudges against each other.
His goal from the start was simple: to have a fight with Gel and assess his current level.
Yet, in the end, he was disappointed. Not because Gel was weak, but because his abilities happened to perfectly counter hers. As a result, he won too easily.
"Get off me!"
At this time, in her humiliation and fury, Gel let out a furious shout. Her Aura exploded, forcing Law off her.
Law stumbled backward, barely able to steady himself, and took several steps back before stopping. He was genuinely surprised at the power Gel unleashed in that instant.
The moment she freed herself, Gel flipped up into a standing position and, without hesitation, thrown a poison needle at Law from several meters away.
Law blocked it with his Domain, but the close range made it stronger than usual. The needle pushed forward, stopping only an inch from his face.
At this time, the next poison needle thrown by Gel flew over and hit the tail of the poison needle that was stopped by Law, pushing the previous poison needle and directly breaking through Law's Domain's defense.
'What a terrifying accuracy!'
The thought of a fine needle hitting another needle's tail is extremely difficult.
Law's eyes flickered, and he jerked his head aside just in time to narrowly dodge the incoming poison needle.
Gel seized the opportunity to close in again and punched him with her poisonous punch. With his focus split dodging the needle, Law took the hit directly to the abdomen.
The force of the punch sent him flying over ten meters before he stabilized himself. However, he remained unscathed, as he had used Ryu to concentrate his Aura into a defensive barrier around his stomach to block Gel's punch.
Gel's punches weren't as strong as Biscuit's or Atomu's. Her Nen Ability was specialized in poison. Against most opponents, she would have already injected poison into them after so many exchanges.
However, Law was like a porcupine with no weak spots, and even after several attempts at contact, she still failed to get any poison into his system.
Seeing that Law was completely unharmed, Gel gritted her teeth in frustration, her anger barely contained as she lunged forward again.
"Sigh."
Law suddenly let out a soft sigh. At this time, his earlier excitement for the battle had already faded by half.
Meeting Gel's charge head-on, he engaged her in another dozen rounds of close combat before seizing an opening, restraining her once more, and systematically draining her Aura again.
After several cycles of this, Gel fell into despair.
She felt this fight is so unfair. No matter what she does, she can't poison Law. How the hell is she supposed to fight like this?
Seeing that most of her Aura had been consumed and Law didn't seem to have any intention of hurting her, although Gel was furious, she still made a prompt decision to end the fight.
"I quit! I don't want the damn toad anymore!"
Gel withdrew her hand and stepped back, first putting some distance between them and then shouted angrily at Law.
There was no trace of the previous determination to win left, and she was now radiating nothing but defeat.
No matter what, she was a member of the Zodiacs recognized by Netero. She was young and full of youthful ambition, and wanted to take on bigger challenges and make a name for herself.
However, never in her worst nightmares did she expect to run into Law, a complete anomaly who completely countered her Nen.
From the moment she surrendered, she secretly swore in her heart, 'No matter what happens in the future, I'd rather fight a stronger enemy than ever cross fists with this guy again.'
Seeing Gel surrender so decisively, Law scratched his cheek and said casually, "I wasn't that into it either. I also have no use for that toad, so you can have it."
"You...!" Gel's frustration hit its peak upon hearing this. She was utterly livid but had nowhere to vent her anger.
From the shadows, Biscuit palmed her forehead in exasperation. She also realized that after all the hard work of finding a qualified sparring partner for Law, it turned out that Law seemed to be Gel's nemesis, so the effect of the sparring could not be shown.
Shaking her head, Biscuit deliberately released her Aura and stepped out from behind a rock.
Almost at the same time, both Law and Gel turned their eyes toward her.
Law wasn't surprised, but Gel's expression changed instantly and became very ugly.
At the same time, the sounds of people approaching could be heard, probably attracted by the sound of Law breaking the boulder.
