One Piece: The Straw Hat Pirates' Max-Level Swordsman

Ling Tian also had some minor scratches on his body. Although they were not serious, they were enough to illustrate the disadvantage he was in at the moment.

"Not bad, not bad. It seems that you are even better than Kabachi." Feeling the increasingly faster speed of Mochi and Liki, Ling Tian remained calm despite being in trouble, and praised them generously.

His voice was steady and powerful, without any panic or frustration, as if all this was within his expectations.

"Of course, we won't hold the captain back." Moqi smiled proudly when he heard Ling Tian's words. His eyes were shining with excitement, and he felt extremely proud to have been recognized by Ling Tian.

"But, it's not enough." Ling Tian's voice suddenly became low and majestic.

As he spoke, a huge impact erupted from Ling Tian's body. The force was like a surging wave, instantly sweeping everything around him.

The air seemed to be ignited, making crackling sounds.

Mochi and Liki only felt an irresistible force rushing towards them. Before they could react, they were knocked away by this force.

Their bodies drew an arc in the air and then fell heavily to the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust.

"Mochi, Liki, to praise your speed, I will show you my long-trained abilities." After knocking Mochi and Liki away, Ling Tian spoke loudly with a firm and fiery gaze.

His voice echoed in the empty venue with unquestionable majesty and confidence.

When Moqi and Li Ji heard Ling Tian's words, their eyes instantly became serious. They looked at each other and saw a hint of nervousness and expectation in each other's eyes.

They knew very well that the ability Ling Tian was about to demonstrate must be extraordinary.

Ling Tian crossed his hands on his forehead again, and his expression became extremely serious, as if he was performing a solemn ceremony.

He took a deep breath, and all the muscles in his body tensed up. Every inch of his skin seemed to contain power that was about to explode.

"The Seventh Shocking Gate! Open!" As Ling Tian's words fell, a powerful and shocking air wave burst out from Ling Tian's body.

The air wave was like a surging tsunami, sweeping wildly around Ling Tian. Under the impact of this force, the ground was splashed with sand and rocks, and deep cracks appeared.

This powerful air wave almost capsized the Buggy pirate ship in the distance.

The flags on the pirate ship were fluttering in the wind, and the ropes were creaking, as if they would break at any time. The crew panicked and grabbed the fixed objects around them to avoid being thrown out.

"Gurgle" Feeling the terrifying air wave from Ling Tian, ​​Mochi and Liki couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Their heartbeats accelerated and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads. But they did not back down, but instead focused more and prepared to meet the upcoming challenges.

In just a moment, Ling Tian's figure disappeared from the spot like a ghost.

The next moment, he appeared in front of Mochi and Liki. His speed was so fast that it was impossible to catch him, as if he had broken through the limitations of time and space.

Before Mochi and Li Ji could react, Ling Tian kicked them one by one, his movements were clean and neat, without any delay. Mochi and Li Ji only felt an irresistible huge force coming, and their bodies flew out involuntarily.

They drew two arcs in the air and fell heavily in the distance, leaving two large holes on the ground.

"So... so strong." Mochi stood up with a look of shock on his face, his mouth wide open, and stammered.

His eyes were full of disbelief and awe. Everything that happened just now was like a dream to him.

He didn't see Ling Tian's speed clearly at all. He only felt a flash before his eyes. In just a moment, he and Li Ji were like fallen leaves caught in the wind, flying backwards without any resistance.

The others who were watching the battle couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw this scene. Their expressions froze, their eyes widened, and they were shocked by the terrifying strength displayed by Ling Tian.

Some people clenched their fists unconsciously, while others put their hands together and prayed for Mochi and Liki.

"Can you still fight?" Ling Tian asked as he looked at Moqi who had stood up.

Although his voice was calm, it carried a subtle concern. After opening the door, Ling Tian could clearly feel that his body was also being tormented.

Every breath and every movement is accompanied by pain that goes deep into the bone marrow.

The Eight Gates is a double-edged sword. Although it can gain powerful strength in a short period of time, it can also cause great harm to the user.

Opening the final eighth gate, the Gate of Death, requires the life of the user. Every time you use the Eight Gates of Dunjia, you are dancing with death.

"No problem," Mochi said firmly, gritting his teeth.

His eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and although his body was still trembling slightly, his will was extremely firm. He took a deep breath, tried to adjust his state, and after regrouping, he took a fighting stance again.

He clenched his hands into fists, his muscles tensed, as if declaring his determination to Ling Tian.

Li Ji also assumed a fighting stance, and there was no trace of retreat or fear in his eyes.

He leaned forward slightly, his legs slightly bent, ready to attack at any time. Sweat slid down his cheeks, but he didn't care. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to continue fighting.

Seeing this, Ling Tian's eyes flashed with determination, and he rushed towards Mochi and Li Ji again without hesitation. His figure was like a flash of lightning, instantly cutting through the air and bringing up a gust of wind.

Mochi did not move, his eyes were as calm as water, he just gave Li Ji a look. That look contained deep meaning and tacit understanding, as if there was a telepathy between them that could communicate without words.

Seeing Mochi's eyes, Li Ji immediately understood what Mochi meant.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Liki roared loudly, and the roar seemed to penetrate the sky and shake the world. Then, his whole body was burning with flames. The flames were hot and violent, as if Liki himself had turned into pure flames.

Then, the flames on Liki's body burst out, and instantly turned into a huge flaming ball. The ball continued to expand, tightly wrapping himself and Mochi.

The light of the flames illuminated the surroundings, dyeing everything around orange-red. The temperature rose sharply and the air became distorted.

Seeing this, Ling Tian had no choice but to stop. His footsteps came to an abrupt halt a few steps away from the flaming ball, and his body leaned back slightly to avoid being affected by the blazing heat.

He stared at the ball of fire in front of him, his eyes full of vigilance and curiosity, wondering what Mochi and Liki were planning in the fire.

When the flames slowly faded, Liki had disappeared, and only Mochi was left at the original location.

However, at this time, Mochi underwent an amazing change.

Mochi, who originally looked like a human, turned into an orc at this moment. His body became taller and stronger, with bulging muscles, full of power.

His face also became ferocious and wild, with his fangs exposed and his eyes flashing with ferocity. Not only that, Mochi also held a burning stick in his hand.

The stick was red all over, with flames dancing on it, as if it had life. The stick exuded a burning breath, making people afraid to approach it easily.
