Chapter 73: Luke’s Disappearance
The messy ice surface was shaken continuously.
A few kilometers away, there was an earth-shaking loud noise, and large clouds of smoke and ice billowed into the sky.
Even from an extremely long distance, you can still feel the exaggerated impact.
The ice beneath Luke's feet rumbled, and huge cracks spread one after another.
The towering giant stood there with murderous intent.
It wildly waved the exaggeratedly large fist covered by Armament Haki as it attacked the Frost Giant, which was cut in half, while the extremely powerful Observation Haki locked onto Aokiji, hiding inside.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
In just a few breaths, the frost giant was completely torn apart and turned into broken ice that filled the sky.
No matter how hard it tries, it can't recover in time.
"Whoosh..."
Like a deflated balloon, Luke's figure began to shrink.
Luke, whose aura was still extremely astonishing, once again transformed into the nine-meter-tall nightmare form while taking a deep breath: "Maintaining the Nightmare Titan form, although the combat power has been improved in all directions, however, the load is too great after all!"
Feeling the rapid loss of physical strength, Luke mutters softly.
"Logia's ability user is really a hooligan!" Luke frowned, full of helplessness. It was expected that Admiral Aokiji was not seriously injured at all.
He didn't hesitate and gave up the enlargement directly, returning to normal nightmare form.
People with Logia ability are really rogues.
Fighting with a strong person like Aokiji is especially frustrating.
Under the violent attack just now, if it were another person with a non-Logia devil fruit user and an Armament Haki's level comparable to Aokiji, even if they were not severely injured by him, it would definitely make them uncomfortable.
"Obask Luke, I admit that I do underestimate you..."
At this time, Aokiji's embarrassed figure shows up: "But don't underestimate an Admiral!"
"I'm not looking down on you, Aokiji..."
Luke smiled ferociously; his fighting spirit was burning extremely fiercely.
Both fists were raised together brazenly.
The powerful Armament Haki flows outside, and the air is directly distorted.
Fluctuations visible to the naked eye are present there.
It's heart-stopping.
"Justice Impact!"
The next second, Aokiji blasted hard at Luke.
"Six King Gun!!!"
Luke's eyes were stern.
He didn't show any weakness and attack forward.
"Boom!!!"
Accompanied by a deafening explosion.
The two collided hard.
Two figures, one large and one small, refused to give way to each other.
"Luke!!!"
"Aokiji!!!"
The entire ice surface was shaking.
The dazzling light and glow are incomparable to the eyes.
Huge cracks that were as exaggerated as spider webs spread one after another.
The fierce and unparalleled shock waves carried countless broken ice, causing ripples to spread out.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
In unison, two figures flew out like cannonballs.
It smashed straight into the ice behind it, causing a large area of ice to collapse and become embedded in it.
The ice chips splashed, stirring up smoke and dust all over the sky.
In ruins, a human-shaped ice sculpture condensed there at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Aokiji, who was a bit embarrassed, looked more solemn than ever before while a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
He stood up and looked directly at the ruins in the distance: "I haven't been hurt in a long time, this monster!"
But his expression turned livid the next moment, and his eyes became gloomy.
At this moment, the location where Luke had smashed into earlier was empty, and there were no traces of him.
"Too careless!"
In the distant sky, along with it, bursts of white smoke.
A tall and embarrassed figure directly hugged Robin's soft body to prevent the two of them from falling.
Luke, who was supposed to be embedded in the ice, suddenly appeared here at some point.
The figure that looked like a little giant had already returned to its original state.
He was completely bare-chested, and his trousers were in tatters, completely turning into miserable strips of cloth, making him appear like a beggar.
"Luke, are you okay?" Robin looked at Luke in shock, who was covered in blood, her big eyes full of worry.
Just now, the eagle she was riding on suddenly disappeared.
Instead, she fell into a broad embrace.
She was shocked at first and was about to struggle… But it turned out that Luke was back, and she was relieved.
"Cough, don't worry, I'm fine…"
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said nonchalantly: "Aokiji is indeed one of the highest combat forces in the Marine Headquarters... But if it weren't for hiding the ability of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, he might not be able to hurt me!"
Although he received Aokiji's punch and broke several ribs, the injuries were neither minor nor serious.
But he had used his extremely skillful Life Return to control the muscles and bones to continuously correct them.
With his recovery power far beyond that of ordinary people, coupled with the Life Return and supplementary nutrition and recuperation, it is estimated that it will take about ten days to fully recover.
If he returns to the Thriller Bark and receives Hogback's superb medical skills and the ability of the Repair-Repair Fruit.
It is estimated that he will be back to normal in three days.
Obviously, there is no need to tell Robin this.
With all the weird and unpredictable abilities of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, if he lets go, he uses all his means and goes all out.
Aokiji may not be able to hurt him easily.
The ability of Paramecia·Shadow-Shadow Fruit may not be the strongest.
But it can definitely be said that life-saving skills are first-rate.
As long as he has sufficient physical strength, he is innately invincible.
Of course, if he must fight to the end with an Admiral.
Now, there is still a gap between him and those real monsters.
Even after absorbing the shadows of the two giant warriors, Dorry and Brogy, and using the Nightmare Titan form, he could compete head-on with the opponent without falling behind for a short period of time.
Over time, he will inevitably fall directly into decline.
Luke is still self-aware of this.
In Robin's surprised eyes, a pair of dark wings appeared directly at Luke's back.
Then Luke flew away into the distance.
Although Robin is still a little worried.
But seeing Luke in full swing, she relaxes a little.
"However, the biggest gain from this battle is that it fully verified the gap between me and an Admiral from Marine Headquarters..."
Holding Robin's soft body.
Luke bared his teeth there, showing indescribable joy.
He stared into the distance with stern eyes, full of confidence: "That distance is not too far away... I will be able to catch up in a short time!"
