The Super Dimension Pirates in One Piece.

Chapter 837 "Toys"

"Luffy, listen to me." Sanji said solemnly and horrifiedly, "We must use all our strength to have a chance of winning!"

"I know--!" Luffy shook his head and kicked off his slippers.

"..." Sanji looked down at the battle suit Reiju had given him a long time ago and said unwillingly, "This was made by that bastard..."

"But there's no other way now..." For the sake of his companions, Sanji had to borrow strength from the things he hated in the past.

Luffy held up his arm with Armament Haki attached to it and blew air into his body with all his might. His slightly thin body expanded rapidly, and then expanded several times, becoming muscular.

"Fourth gear—"

The armament Haki covered the giant rubber body, revealing dark evil lines. Due to the terrifying elasticity accumulated in itself, Luffy could not stand as usual and could only rely on the control of his feet to bounce upwards continuously.

Sanji also changed into a high-tech black combat suit, with sunglasses, mask, tights, and a large cape, giving him a superhero feel.

Immediately afterwards, Sanji's body faded rapidly, and finally, his entire figure disappeared in front of everyone.

"bang bang bang"

Luffy's body flew into the air, his feet stepped on the air, and emitted bursts of energy explosions. He used the Moon Step technique, but his speed was much faster than the Moon Step.

In mid-air, Luffy's entire fist and even half of his arm were constantly squeezed backwards, and finally contracted inside his arm. Through this form of compression, the power of Luffy's punch was increased by at least dozens of times.

"Rubber King Gun!"

The fist with power accumulated to the limit, coupled with the terrifying speed burst out by Luffy himself, raised up a violent force like a raging wave, smashing the wind and slamming into the eyes of the Angel of Exia.

In a flash, Archangel Exiah raised her arms to block the attack of Luffy's Monkey King Spear.

The gusts of air created by the collision rushed wildly around the place where the two people collided, and the thick green vegetation on the roots of the trees was blown away in an instant.

Nami shouted in surprise: "Hit it!"

Afterwards, her high spirits quickly dropped to freezing point, but the Angel's body was as steady as a rock, and she didn't retreat even a single step.

"!" Luffy didn't give up. He gritted his teeth and copied four fists with his clenched fists like a projection. A total of six fists hit the nearby Archangel randomly: "Ape King Crow Cannon!"

Fists poured down like a torrential rain, but could not break through the defense of the Archangel. Roars and vibrations continued to spread out.

"How... is it possible..." Nami muttered to herself with a dull look. She had seen with her own eyes the strength of Luffy's Gear Fourth, but he couldn't even take down an Exia.

She turned her neck and looked towards a place with unwillingness to believe, where there was another identical Angel.

It seems that as long as you live in your own world, you can temporarily forget the cruelty of reality.

"Stop daydreaming, Nami!" Franky woke up the dazed Nami.

"What?" Nami woke up in shock.

"While the other party's attention is on Luffy, let's go and help!" Franky shouted, "Don't forget the hardships we have endured in the past two years!"

"..." Nami took a deep breath, tightened the weather stick in her hand, and said solemnly: "I know!"

"We will provide support from a distance." Franky clasped his mechanized hands together and said, "Give Luffy, Sanji and the others a chance!"

Nami noticed that the thundercloud created before had not dispersed yet. Since Archangel Exia was similar to the pacifist encountered before, the damage caused by lightning must be considerable.

"Thundercloud Lightning Gun!"

The electric charge generated at the top of the weather stick pulled the thundercloud, and the electric charge inside struck the Archangel like lightning.

Unexpectedly, when the lightning was about to hit the Archangel, it went around the side of the Archangel.

"Varied……?!"

There were no obstacles in the way, and the electricity contained in the thundercloud was released all at once on Nami's body.

"Crackling"

"Nami!" Franky was shocked. Thanks to Nami's rich knowledge of weather, she always used lightning to strike others, and such a sudden incident had never happened before.

When the lightning dissipated, green smoke came out of Nami's whole body. She sat on the ground exhausted, and her breath came out of white smoke.

"This guy... can also control lightning!"

Nami understood immediately and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, the weather stick absorbed some of the charge, otherwise..."

"How dare you hurt Miss Nami...!"

Seeing Nami injured, Sanji suddenly exploded, and kicked towards Exia with his right foot like a branding iron, determined to break the opponent's neck.

"boom"

The powerful kick only caused the Archangel's head to shake slightly.

"Unforgivable!" Brook killed people from the side, with bursts of cold air wrapped around his staff and sword.

"You've ruined my promise to Rab—!"

Brook's staff sword stabbed straight at Archangel Exiah's chest. Facing the siege of several people, the flames burning on Archangel Exiah's back suddenly exploded, and the scorching flames instantly engulfed everything nearby.

Facing the fierce flames, Brook raised his staff sword and thrust forward. The cold air offset a part of the flames, and the arcs of electricity hidden in the flames moved up along the sword, making Brook's whole body numb.

"Brook!" Seeing that Brook was in not right condition, Chopper, who had eaten the Rumble Ball and was following closely behind him, immediately knocked Brook away and saved him.

Luffy, who was not afraid of fire and lightning, was knocked away by a punch from Archangel Exiah. His strengthened body hit the ground and bounced back into the sky, then he attacked again tirelessly.

Gear 4 has a time limit, during which a large amount of Armament Haki and physical strength will be consumed. If the Haki and physical strength are exhausted, you will fall into a ten-minute period of general fatigue.

He must decide the outcome within this period of time!
Sanji enters stealth mode, maximizing the performance of his combat suit and attacking from blind spots.

……

Kuina asked: "Are you worried about your companions?"

"I believe them." Zoro grinned and asked, "But you, if you lose to me, have you thought about your words of defeat?"

"How dare you, Zoro!"

The two men looked at each other, and where their swords collided, sparks flew and sword winds spread, and they could sense each other's strength through the collision of the blades.

"Hey!"

Zoro's arms suddenly swelled up, and a powerful force was transmitted from the Sandai Kitetsu's sword. He tried to overwhelm the opponent with his force.

"..." Kuina used her wrist to deflect the blade, skillfully and calmly guiding Zoro's power, and the edge of Kitetsu drew a series of flashing sparks along the blade of Enma.

In a flash, Yama in Kuina's hand stabbed towards Zoro's chest with lightning speed.

"Chong"

The attack was like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue, but was parried by Zoro who put away his sword in time. Kuina took advantage of the situation and pursued her, stepping forward. The Yama in her hand turned into a hazy smoke cover and shrouded Zoro.

"clang clang"

Faced with Kuina's impenetrable attack, Zoro was defeated step by step, as if standing on the edge of a cliff, and could fall into an irretrievable situation at any time.

Zoro tried his best to resist Kuina's attack, but because he lost the initiative, he fell behind step by step.

In just two or three seconds, the swords of both sides clashed dozens of times, and Zoro almost had one foot outside the cliff.

He asked himself: 'Am I going to lose again?'

"How can I lose...!" He gritted his teeth, and the past scenes flashed before his eyes, finally freezing on Kuina's face.

"I can't lose--!" Zoro ignored the threat posed by Enma and slashed at Kuina with a life-saving attack.

"What?!" Kuina didn't anticipate Zoro's next move, and she pulled back, avoiding the three blades that were coming to double-team him.

Because Kuina retreated, Enma left a shallow knife scar on Zoro's chest. The injury was not serious, at most it was a minor injury, and a brown mark appeared on Zoro's shirt.

Zoro did not lower his head and smiled: "Hawkeye once left a scar here."

"And you were wounded in almost the same place today."

Kuina suddenly asked, "Why?"

Zoro asked back, "Why?"

Kuina said angrily, "You know what I mean!"

"I'm just..." Zoro untied the green bandana tied around his arm and tied it around his head: "I don't want to lose again!"

"..." Kuina, who had experienced bloody battles but had never been in a desperate situation, had a deeper understanding of the battle at this moment.

"Training is never as useful as actual combat." Esdeath's words echoed in Kuina's mind.

"Zoro, your competitive spirit hasn't changed at all."

After opening her eyes again, Kuina's eyes were filled with fighting spirit again.

"Zoro, I can't lose either!" Kuina, holding Yama in her hand, rushed towards Zoro quickly.

There were no sweet words between the two childhood sweethearts, only the sound of metal clashing against each other.

……

"Mirage!" Nami used her optical knowledge to provide support to everyone as much as possible. Brook, who was quickly approaching Archangel, suddenly turned into three people.

Archangel Exia ignored the enemy rushing towards him from behind, and instead delivered two heavy punches in the opposite direction of the target.

There were two muffled "bangs" when the fist hit the empty space, and the invisible Sanji and Brook who was reflected by the light on the other side were knocked backwards.

"Why..." Nami didn't understand why the Angel could see the two of them.

"Electromagnetic..." Franky, who had some scientific research ability, came to his senses and speculated: "He can control lightning, maybe he used electromagnetic technology to detect the location of the two people."

“Damn it!” Nami screamed in despair: “Fire and electromagnetism… How come he has so many abilities?!”

"It's much more troublesome than a pacifist who can only shoot lasers!"

"Rubber snake cannon!"

Luffy, who was knocked into the sky, turned around and threw a swing punch. His fist moved forward like a snake, and finally hit the opponent's face at an extremely tricky angle.

Exia used his elbow to deflect Luffy's fist, and his figure immediately transformed into a series of red phantoms, and flew into Luffy's arms, his fist sinking into his rubbery body.

The impact force of the fist plus Luffy's own elasticity made Luffy fly into the sky like a rocket!
It's not over yet!
Exia vibrated its wings to speed up, and the flames on its back trailed like a meteor. It caught up with Luffy who was flying backwards, clenched its hands into hammers, and smashed down on Luffy from top to bottom.

The heavy force like a mountain pressing down on his head caused Luffy to fall to the ground from the air.

"Luffy!"

Sanji ran as fast as he could, trying to save Luffy.

Before he arrived, Archangel Exia kicked Luffy away before he fell into the ground.

"Varied……"

Sanji stared in amazement at Luffy, who was like a ping-pong ball, being hit back and forth in the air by the Archangel Exiah.

"..." Rayleigh was also looking at this scene in shock. He was very clear about Luffy's strength. The Angel Exia developed by Shenzhou treated Luffy like a toy when facing him.

"How is it?" Xia Qi blew out a smoke ring helplessly and said, "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Do you understand why I opened the store so peacefully?"

"..." Rayleigh was silent for a moment, and said unwillingly: "But Luffy didn't suffer much damage."

"You're just lying to yourself. Luffy boy must be very exhausted when he's like this. When he's exhausted and loses this armor..."

Xia Qi smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Rayleigh, times have changed."

"...Alas!" Rayleigh sighed. He spent two years training the Straw Hat Pirates, but it seemed like it was all in vain.

Seeing Luffy being beaten by Angel Exia, the members on the ground were also very anxious. Franky kept moving his clasped hands, but he could not catch the figure of Angel Exia.

"Just stop it!"

Sanji tried his best to catch up, and with the full-power jet acceleration of his high-tech shoes, he finally caught up with Exiah and forced her to stop. Luffy, who had lost his striking method, smashed into the trunk of the Alchiman mangrove tree, splashing a lot of sawdust.

"Devil's Landscape..."

Before he could finish his words, Exiah grabbed Sanji's ankle, spun him at high speed like a windmill, and threw him to the ground with the powerful centrifugal force.

The place where it fell was exactly where Nami and Franky were.

"boom!"

The huge shock wave instantly blew away the thin Nami.

"Sanji! Nami!"

Luffy, who had just crawled out of the tree hole, felt his emotions burning like fire at this moment, which made him burst out with even more powerful strength.

He ignored the wall of fire that rose out of nowhere between the two of them and rushed in alone, causing the flames to scatter in all directions.

He had only one thought at this moment, which was to knock the opponent away!

Luffy's pounce missed, and his anger made him lose the perception of his observation Haki. His shoulders were grabbed by the Angel of Exia hidden in the flames, and then he was hit hard in the abdomen by a knee strike from the Angel of Exia.

"boom!"

At this moment, Luffy felt that his stomach had disappeared, and the air that was blown into his body was deflated like a balloon, but he could not escape the control of Angelica Exiah. Angelica Exiah still held Luffy tightly with both hands, pressing him under his body, and smashing him to the ground like a meteorite.

A huge hole was smashed into the ground, and Luffy was embedded in the center of the hole. At this time, Luffy was no longer in Gear Fourth, but was in his usual unconscious state.

"Capture complete."

"...It's all over." Rayleigh sighed and shook his head, "Sure enough, gambling is not good."

"Whatever you bet on."

……

"Ha...ha..." The fierce battle made Kuina's breathing heavy, and her black hair stuck to her forehead in a messy manner.

"Your companion..."

"It's just a fight between you and me here," Zoro interrupted.

"...That's right." Kuina nodded.

Zoro took a stance: "This is my last sword."
