Chapter 157: Battle of Henica
boom--!!!
The violent impact created air waves hundreds of meters high, and the ground within a radius of three kilometers completely collapsed. The entire Dressrosa seemed to be in doomsday.
And in the center of the deep pit, a life-and-death battle beyond common sense is taking place.
——The extreme collision of "air" and "funny"!
Luffy's body suddenly twisted in a way that defied the laws of physics. His limbs stretched out infinitely like rubber, yet felt sharp like metal.
"Rubber Rubber Black Whip!"
His right leg swung out like a giant python, but it split into dozens of black spikes in mid-air, each of which carried the power to tear through space!
Rogge's eyes flashed, and he suddenly punched out with an air pressure punch!
"Air Pressure·Wall Shock!"
"boom--!!"
The high-density compressed air formed an invisible barrier, and the moment it collided with the dark spikes, the space was briefly shattered!
The shock wave lifted up the ground within a radius of 100 meters, and the gravel was crushed into dust before it even hit the ground!
Luffy's laughter became even more crazy, and his body flashed like a ghost, appearing behind Rogge in an instant.
"Rubber rubber, hidden gun random attack!"
His arms transformed into countless pitch-black afterimages, and each punch carried a drumbeat that distorted reality, tearing the air into spider-web-like cracks!
Rogge retreated violently, but Luffy's attack followed him like a shadow. Wherever his fist passed, even the light was swallowed up!
"Air pressure, instant explosion!"
Rogge suddenly clenched his fist, and the air compressed to the limit exploded in front of Luffy!
"Bang--!!"
Luffy's head was blown back, but the next second, his neck stretched like rubber, his head straightened at a weird angle, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became even more hideous.
"Hee... it's useless..."
"Darkness Swallow!"
His mouth suddenly expanded to an exaggerated extent, swallowing everything around it like an abyss - including Rogge's air compression wave!
Rogge's eyes darkened, and he finally became completely serious.
With his fists clasped together and all the muscles in his body tensed, the air around him began to collapse wildly with him as the center!
"Air Pressure·Meteorite!"
The air in the entire arena was instantly sucked out, forming an absolute vacuum area!
Luffy's body was squeezed by an invisible pressure, and the black mist began to dissipate, but his laughter did not stop.
"Hee... this is fun!"
His body suddenly expanded, the black mist condensed again, and he actually forcibly opened up a "territory" of his own in the vacuum!
"Darkness, Liberation!"
The drumbeats suddenly accelerated, and Luffy's body turned into a black lightning, instantly penetrating Rogge's defense and punching him in the chest!
"puff--!"
Rogge spat out a mouthful of blood, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I got you!"
His hands suddenly clasped together!
"Air Pressure·End!"
"Boom——!!!"
The entire arena's floor collapsed, and the space the two were in was compressed to its limit. Then—
"Bang--!!"
The earth-shaking explosion swept the entire venue!
The dome of the arena collapsed under the pressure of the two men's confrontation, and the moonlight filtered through the smoke and dust to form a pale pillar of light.
Rogge's white shirt rustled in the turbulent air pressure. He slowly raised his right arm, and the muscle fibers of his entire arm suddenly showed strange spiral patterns - this was a sign of compressing the air to the molecular level.
"Air Pressure Shinra."
It was a simple straight punch, but it caused the space to collapse the moment it was thrown.
Dark Nika's originally twisted body was suddenly torn into an exaggerated S shape, and the hundreds of tons of granite ground were blown away like a piece of paper.
But the next second——
"Hahahaha!"
Luffy's head suddenly spun 360 degrees, and his rubber neck twisted like a pretzel. "That's fun!"
His right leg swept across, violating the joint restrictions, and the sole of his foot split into dozens of pitch-black pythons in flight.
Rogge's pupils suddenly shrank, and he clasped his hands together: "Air Pressure Sky Wall!"
The moment the ultra-high-density air wall was formed, the dark pythons suddenly grinned collectively and penetrated the physical barrier directly to bite his throat.
"The air wall is ineffective?!"
Rogge dodged the air blast sideways, but his left shoulder was still torn open with three bloody wounds so deep that the bone was visible.
What was even more terrifying was that the black mist wrapped around the wound was slowly devouring his Armament Haki!
Luffy's body began to twitch unnaturally, performing a strange dance like a broken marionette.
With his twisted dance steps, the physical laws of the entire arena began to collapse!
Nika, whose entire body was covered in black and red fluid, had a strange posture like a god, with his limbs twisted at irregular angles, and he danced in the air in a series of steps that could be called "cartoon hell".
"Hahahahaha!!!"
His voice sounded like hundreds of crazy clowns overlapping each other, with a strong sense of distortion.
"Rubber Rubber·Link World Reversal Punch!"
The next second, his arms flew like wool, attacking Rogge from dozens of directions at the same time.
Even the direction itself was no longer constrained by the laws of physics - one punch was thrown from the ground, one punch was squeezed out from the void, and another punch actually came out from Rogge's shadow!
Rogge stepped on the ground, the air vibrated violently, and dozens of dense defensive walls wrapped around his whole body in the form of a "regular dodecahedron"!
But the strange thing is——
When Luffy's fist was about to hit the barrier, it suddenly turned into an "anthropomorphic smiley face" and passed through the barrier on its own with a giggle.
"The Rule-Breaking Fist is not meant to strike the barrier prepared for you!"
"boom!!"
Rogge was hit in the abdomen, the air in his body instantly became disordered, and blood spurted out of his mouth.
His pupils shrank slightly, and the airflow formed two spiral air dragons on his sides.
"Air Pressure Bipolar Dragon!"
Two pure white air pressure tornadoes entangled at the speed of light, forcibly cutting out the constantly beating "dark personality" on the outer layer of Luffy's body!
"Hee hee—don't touch my skin!!!"
Dark Nika screamed and jumped up, his body instantly turning into a huge canvas, allowing Rogge's air pressure slash to tear it apart, but the next second——
The torn body turned into bubbles and floated away, then pieced itself together in mid-air!
"Rubber-Rubber Stand Battle!"
One after another, "clones" rushed towards him in the form of funny cartoon characters, each carrying the same murderous intent and the ability to distort reality.
"Empty Lock Realm!"
Rogge frowned, clasped his hands together, and the air vibrated to form countless "blockade lines" that shuttled between the clones like a spider web.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"
Within one second, more than fifty funny clones were forcibly flattened into paper pieces and then exploded!
"How funny can you be?"
"Drums dance in disorder, laughter fills the air!"
Luffy's entire body expanded to a hundred meters, his head deformed and stretched to dozens of meters high. His eyes spun out of orbit in the air, and countless laughs emanated from his mouth at the same time: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
"Bang!"
The entire deep pit suddenly reversed! Up became down, front became back, and the center of the earth spun!
At this moment, Rogge's feet were on the ceiling, and his body was twisting wildly!
"Air Anchor."
Rogge stepped on the air, forcing himself to stabilize his body, and reached into the void with one hand:
"Empty Origin·World Heart."
A star-like "Heart of Air" burned and spun in his palm, time around him began to slow down, and even Luffy's ridicule began to become intermittent!
Rogge punched out, and the heart of the star turned into pure explosive energy, hitting Luffy's huge smiling face!
"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"
The entire Dressrosa was plunged into a deafening explosion, the ground churned, and the sky tore apart!
Luffy laughed wildly and opened his arms to welcome him, but his expression froze the moment they made contact - his dark matter was peeled off layer by layer, revealing his original rubber body.
"We caught the real one!"
Rogge's left hand formed into a claw and thrust forward, his fingertips wrapped in black and red lightning stabbed towards Luffy's heart.
Just before it hits—
Luffy's eyes suddenly turned completely black, and his mouth stretched to his ears. "You've been fooled!"
The stripped dark matter suddenly came alive and wrapped around Rogge's arm. At the same time, his chest opened wide and bloody: "Darkness Devouring God!"
At the critical moment, Rogge's forehead veins bulged: "Ba Chan·Zhan!"
The Haki of the entire left arm vibrated at an extremely high frequency, shattering the dark restraints.
The moment their fists collided—
"boom!!!"
With the collision point as the center, the ground within a radius of one kilometer suddenly sank ten meters.
The remaining walls of the arena were reduced to smithereens before the sound waves reached them, and the warships far away in the port were pushed to the side by the shock waves!
When the smoke and dust cleared, Rogge knelt on one knee, his right arm twisted unnaturally.
Luffy was kneeling twenty meters away, the straw hat on his head constantly regenerating and disappearing in the black mist.
Rogge tore off the tattered cuff with his teeth. Luffy's body suddenly twitched and stood up, his limbs moving uncoordinatedly like a broken machine. "Hee... Again... More..."
His voice suddenly became the overlapping tone of hundreds of people, "Let's make this world... even more ridiculous!"
The two figures disappeared from the spot again, leaving only the continuously collapsing space and the sound of explosions one after another.
Every exchange rewrites the physical rules of the battlefield. The most terrifying thing is that as the battle continues, the destruction caused by the two begins to take on a "cartoon" character:
The edges of the giant crater created by Rogge's punch were jagged;
The black blood Luffy spits out turns into a moving tadpole shape after falling to the ground;
The stone pillars swept by the aftermath bounced like rubber;
"Is this... the battle in the divine realm?"
Enel's golden stick, which was watching the battle from a distance, was trembling. His proud heart network was completely unable to predict the movements of the two men.
When the first rays of dawn pierced through the clouds, the original site of the arena had become a perfectly circular pit with a diameter of three kilometers.
In the middle of the pit, Rogge, covered in blood, was holding Luffy's disfigured face with his five fingers.
"It's time... to end..."
"Air Pressure·Divine Punishment!"
As white light burst out from his palm, the darkness in Luffy's eyes finally began to fade.
The light is like a god-slaying blade, cutting off the root of darkness.
And at this moment——
Luffy murmured in a low voice, almost inaudible, but it made Rogge's face change suddenly!
"Imu... is watching..."
