"Hiss!"
"It's really tragic!"
"Lucci's defense, which is tougher than steel, was actually torn apart..."
"Looks like that guy is starting to go all out!"
On the massive bridge, everyone watching couldn't help but gasp.
They hadn't expected the battle between Rob Lucci and the giant werewolf, Auf, to be so fierce, fighting as if their lives depended on it.
Even in his dragon form, where he was impervious to weapons and possessed immense strength, Lucci's once-proud defense had been ripped open by Auf, nearly leaving him disemboweled.
However, Auf wasn't in great shape either.
Not only was he scorched by the terrifying heat, but his shoulder was also nearly bitten off.
"Go call Mansherry and Hogback over!"
Luke patted Nami's head.
But he didn't mean to step forward to stop it.
"If you want to grow, you have to pay the price. Getting hurt is nothing, as long as they don't die."
For Auf, as long as Dr. Hogback is there, this level of damage can be easily repaired.
Lucci is now a lineage factor warrior and an Artificial Mythical Zoan fruit user. His vitality is very tenacious, and he can be called a low-end version of Kaido, and it is not so easy to die.
With Mansherry's Heal-Heal Fruit ability and Law's Op-Op Fruit ability, even the most serious injuries could be healed.
Moreover, every battle between life and death was a form of tempering that could make him stronger.
"Okay..."
Nami glanced at the pink dragon falling from the sky, then she transformed into a cloud of mist and sped off into the distance.
Bang!
With a loud crash, dust billowed into the air, and the pink dragon turned into a human form.
"Damn it..."
Lucci's face was distorted, and he covered his bloody abdomen.
His eyes were bloodshot and filled with unwillingness and rage as he glared hatefully at the collapsed ruins in front of him.
"Damn, I still underestimated that guy!"
It's not that he hasn't fought with the other party in the past two years.
Over the past two years, he has sparred with Auf.
But those battles were nothing like the current life-and-death struggle.
Auf's true strength was far beyond Lucci's expectations, and his attack pierced through his defenses effortlessly.
"Tsk tsk, you have indeed become stronger... Rob Lucci!"
In the collapsed ruins, a towering figure embedded in the ground staggered to his feet.
Despite not bleeding, Auf's right shoulder was clearly marked with several deep, chilling bite marks, even exposing white bone. Yet, he acted as if he didn't feel any pain.
"Shave!"
"Shave!"
Almost the moment the words fell, the two figures moved simultaneously, their feet stomping down hard.
In an instant, they vanished from their spots and rushed forward at high speed.
Both of their right hands were shaped like blades, coated in Armament Haki, gleaming coldly.
Then, they collided violently.
"Finger Pistol!!"
"Hell stab!!"
Bang!
One large and one small, two razor-sharp hand blades clashed fiercely.
At some point, Lucci had already shifted into human-beast form.
His sharp claws were covered in Armament Haki, gleaming dangerously. The powerful impact rippled outward.
"Scattering Iron Claw!!"
"Dragon Claw Fist!!"
The next moment, the fierce battle continued.
With the strength and near-invulnerability of his exoskeleton, as well as the influence of the artificial Mythical Zoan fruit, Lucci's body was incredibly powerful.
He was directly facing off against Auf, who bore the bloodlines of the Mink and Giant Tribe.
Bang!
Suddenly, after clashing head-on, Lucci was sent flying backward.
Whoosh!
He abruptly opened his bloodstained mouth wide, and blazing fire gathered within.
"Heat Breath!!"
Blazing flames, carrying terrifying heat and immense impact, pierced through the air and blasted toward Auf.
"Shave!"
Relying on his strong Observation Haki, Auf reacted swiftly, stomping hard and dodging the terrifying heat breath in time.
Boom!
With a thunderous explosion, flames soar to the sky, and the mountains behind them are directly blasted through and ruthlessly blown apart.
"King Cobra!"
Auf's eyes were fierce, radiating killing intent.
The injury on his shoulder seemed to have no effect on him.
Both fists, wrapped in Haki, swung out madly.
These zombie kings, created from the shadows split off by William himself, possessed a portion of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit's power and could use abilities like Shadow Revolution.
For ordinary zombies or even zombie generals, an injury like that to the right arm would've been devastating.
However, for special zombies like Auf, such injuries could be completely ignored using the power of the Shadow Revolution.
Electric arcs flickered amidst countless afterimages, stretching and retracting, generating friction with the air and sparking bursts of flame.
They surged toward the pink figure ahead.
"Hmph... The power of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit?"
In Lucci's blazing eyes was a bloodthirsty glow.
His speed, strength, and reflexes were greatly enhanced.
His beastly fists, coated in Armament Haki, swung out relentlessly to meet the attack head-on.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The ground crumbled, and smoke rose.
The two ferocious figures, trading blow for blow, clashed continuously.
The amazing shock wave swept countless sand and stones, and ripples spread out layer by layer.
"Secret Six King Gun!!"
In the blink of an eye, the two figures, who had just rebounded, stomped hard again.
Their eyes glinted with ferocity and madness, neither willing to back down as they charged forward.
Whether it was the Armament Haki-coated dragon-scaled fists or the lightning-wrapped dark fists, both collided head-on.
Buzz!
Two torrents of Haki twisted the air, transforming into a violent shockwave, crashing forward.
Boom!
The deafening explosion shook the heavens.
The ground trembled continuously, and the sea surged.
Fierce shockwaves swept outward.
Two battered figures, one large and one small, were sent flying amidst the chaos...
