Chapter 157: A Battle That Touched the Pinnacle
boom!
Long felt the increased pressure on his arm, and upon hearing Mu Chong's words, his expression immediately turned serious.
boom!
Long Yi punched Mu Chong, forcing him back. He then retreated to create distance between himself and Mu Chong, his eyes fixed intently on Mu Chong.
"Hero! To possess such strength at such a young age is truly remarkable, one has to admire your extraordinary talent. However, if you think that's all you've got to challenge me, you're still too green!"
"Hahahaha! Talent? I've never thought I possessed any extraordinary talent! Dragon! Everything I have now is the result of relentless training! Come on! Monkey D. Dragon! Let me see the difference between me and a top-tier expert!"
Hearing Long's words, Mu Chong shook his head slightly. Talent is never something to boast about; there are no shortcuts to success.
"Hahahaha! Is that so? In that case, I admire you more and more! Hero! Then so be it, but just don't fall too quickly!"
boom!
The raging winds that had been swirling around them vanished without a trace the moment the dragon finished speaking. Immediately afterward, an overwhelming aura erupted from the dragon, pressing directly towards Mu Chong.
Ding!
A unique kind of Armament Haki enveloped the dragon's fists, its extreme blackness revealing immense power.
"Hehehe! So that's advanced Armament Haki? As expected of you, Dragon!"
The moment he sensed the change in his opponent's aura, Mu Chong had already mobilized all his strength. When he saw the Armament Haki covering Long's arms, his excitement grew even stronger.
Isn't this the battle I've always been looking forward to?
boom!
"Hahaha! Hero! It's been a long time since I've unleashed such power, please don't die!"
Dragon was also excited at this moment. To him, Mu Chong was a newcomer, but the legends of chivalrous heroes circulating on the Grand Line were not uncommon knowledge within the Revolutionary Army.
The hero's actions not only won the approval of the common people, but also inspired some like-minded individuals, and coincidentally, Long was among them.
boom!
The sandy shore crumbled and scattered under the dragon's immense force, leaving a blur as its fist struck Mu Chong.
"Hahaha! Come on!"
boom!
Mu Chong shifted his position, bent his knees to gather strength, and his entire body surged with power. With a loud bang, Mu Chong's body shot out, his jet-black fist fearlessly thrusting out.
boom!
boom!
Their fists clashed, creating a deafening roar, the aftershocks of their power accompanied by bursts of lightning that raged around them.
"Ahhh!!!"
At this moment, Mu Chong shouted, enduring the excruciating pain in his fist, frantically mobilizing the power within his body. He could not retreat at this moment.
boom!
The aftershocks of the force intensified, the ground began to shake, the coastline beneath their feet began to crack, and a fierce wind raged through everything around them.
"Hehehe! Hero Mu Chong! I acknowledge you! Grow up quickly, and you will surely have a place at the pinnacle of this world!"
boom!
A glint of light flashed in the dragon's eyes, and the power in its arm once again surged with terrifying force, sending the wooden impact, which had only been locked in a stalemate for a moment, flying away.
"captain!"
"Humph!"
Seeing Mu Chong sent flying backward, Slade and Enel, who had been watching the battlefield closely, tensed up and made to rush forward.
boom!
"Hahahaha! Bah! You two stop! Your captain isn't so easily defeated. This is just the beginning!"
Mu Chong, who had been sent flying backward, managed to stabilize himself mid-air. Upon landing, he spat out a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth, and as he spoke, he charged towards the dragon again.
boom!
Mu Chong's aura surged, and his Conqueror's Haki was unleashed without reservation. He pushed the Armament Haki on his fists to its limit, and his Observation Haki burned with intense spiritual energy.
At this moment, in the clash of physical techniques with the dragon, Mu Chong pushed his own power to its limit.
Boom!
The ground beneath his feet shattered, and his body shot forward, instantly traversing the distance between them, creating sonic booms in the air.
boom!
One punch! The terrifying force of the impact shook everything around them.
boom!boom!
Two punches! The ground beneath Mu Chong's feet shattered, and his body was knocked back dozens of meters by the dragon.
Boom! Let's go again!
boom! boom! boom!
Three punches! Mu Chong traded blows, striking Long in the chest. In pain, Long kicked Mu Chong in the abdomen. The two twisted their bodies without retreating, their two jet-black fists swinging out at each other once more.
boom!boom!boom!boom!
Four punches! Mu Chong parried the dragon's attack with both arms, but at the same time, his abdomen was injured again. He forced back a mouthful of blood and endured the excruciating pain as he pressed close to the dragon.
He met Dragon's fist with a punch, then kicked at his opponent's abdomen. Using his Observation Haki, he anticipated Dragon's left punch, quickly twisting his body to dodge it while simultaneously striking Dragon's side with his own fist.
boom!
The two were thrown back, but only their toes touched the ground before they shot forward again.
shave!
shave!
"Dragon's Claw!"
"Heavy Punch - Fierce Tiger!"
Roar!Roar!
A gigantic black-and-white striped tiger roared from Mu Chong's fist, crashing directly into the dark green dragon that erupted from Long's fist.
boom!
boom!
The impact caused a massive explosion that reverberated throughout the entire island of Lilishi, whipping up layers of sand on the coast, causing seawater to rush in and the waves to surge endlessly.
puff!
A mouthful of blood spurted from Mu Chong's mouth, and his body crashed directly to the ground some distance away.
boom!
Mu Chong's body left long gashes on the ground. His white robe was tattered and torn, and his body was covered in bruises and wounds. He lay on the ground, panting heavily.
call!
As Mu Chong collapsed, the surrounding turmoil gradually subsided.
"Tch! Hahaha... Hahahaha...!"
Just when everyone thought that Mu Chong, who was lying motionless on the ground, had fainted, they suddenly heard continuous laughter coming from the ground.
The laughter was clear and resonant! The laughter was unrestrained and exhilarating! The laughter was full of spirit and vigor.
Mu Chong lost the battle. He is still some distance from his peak, but this fight has given him the potential to reach it.
At this moment, the dragon, standing in the distance, silently felt the pain from his injuries. A suppressed smirk played on his lips as he looked at Mu Chong lying on the ground, a complex expression on his face.
In terms of physical skill alone, Long had already used his full strength, but that guy was still able to fight him on equal terms, which was undeniably impressive.
"Hehehe! Hero Mu Chong! You're quite a fellow, but I wonder if you can escape the World Government's malice towards you?"
call!
Stab it!
"Captain!"
When Mu Chong's laughter stopped, Slad and Enel appeared on either side of him, their eyes full of concern.
"Cough cough! I'm fine! Sorry to have worried you! Seeing me in such a sorry state, you two must be very happy, right? Hahaha... cough cough!"
At this moment, Mu Chong was in excruciating pain all over his body. To avoid causing Slade and Enel too much worry, he joked...
"Oh dear! My captain! Stop making such silly jokes. You lie down first, I'll go get Belinda!"
Seeing Mu Chong's appearance, Slad covered his forehead in frustration and then flew towards the Liberty.
"Tch! Still not dead? Captain! You're really pathetic to be beaten like this!"
The worry that had been flickering in Enel's eyes vanished immediately upon hearing Mu Chong's words, replaced by a teasing tone.
"Hahahaha! Enel! You believe I can still beat you up even if I stand up right now!"
"Tch! Huh?"
Just as Enel was about to say something, he sensed the dragon's approach with his Observation Haki. Enel immediately turned his head to look, while secretly channeling the power within his body.
"Hehehe! Don't get excited! The battle is over, isn't it? You also have a kingly aura, which is quite impressive. What's your name?"
Sensing Enel's fighting spirit, Dragon smiled and waved his hand, then spoke with great interest.
"Hmph! Shipwright of the Liberty! Thor! Enel!"
The dragon's words made Enel slightly relax the surging power within his body, but the desire to fight it still stirred within him.
"Hmm? Thor? Hahahaha! What incredible power! How about joining the Revolutionary Army...?"
"Hey, hey, hey! I'm the captain, lying here! And you're trying to win over my crew right in front of me? That's going too far!"
