Chapter 23: Chapter 23: If You Punch This One, You Will Die
Sengoku: "What!!? Am I seeing things right? Luffy, that's... Conqueror's Entanglement!?"
Monkey D Garp: "Pfft! Is this a joke!? Wasn't he supposed to awaken Conqueror's Haki at the age of 9?"
Hiken Yama: "At the age of 9... the word 'supposed'..."
Tsuru: "Awakening Conqueror's at 9, mastering Conqueror's Entanglement at 14... Garp, your grandson is incredibly talented!"
Monkey D Garp: "Ugh... ah... ugh... ah..."
Garp is now unable to say a word
The stronger the talent Devilstrated by the red-border Luffy over there, the more it highlights how much talent is being wasted by his own Luffy...
Over there, Luffy has Conqueror's Entanglement at 14, while his grandson here can't even use Armament Haki...
The gap is simply enormous!!!
Sabaody Archipelago
Listening to the conversation in the chat room, Kid is shocked and looks around at the others in confusion: "Conqueror's Haki can also be entangled? Why can't I do it?"
"Don't look at me, I don't even have Conqueror's!" Noticing Kid's gaze, Capone Bege says disdainfully.
Basil Hawkins sneers: "Don't look at me either, I don't have it"
"No need to look, as long as you have Conqueror's Haki." Trafalgar Law crosses his arms and leans against a rock. "But... it seems that your talent, compared to the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, is miles behind..."
"You bastard!! I'll kill you!!" Hearing Trafalgar Law belittle him using Luffy's name, Kid becomes furious!!
However, Trafalgar Law doesn't care at all. He points his finger at the sky: "Save it! With this screen, just sit back and watch it"
Kid's chest heaves, wanting to attack but unable to. He can only suppress his anger
In the chat room, everyone is chatting happily
Gol D. Roger: "Whitebeard, do you remember when you mastered Conqueror's Entanglement?"
Edward Newgate: "I can't remember clearly, but I think I awakened Conqueror's at around seventeen or eighteen, and it took another ten or so years to master Conqueror's Entanglement."
Gol D. Roger: "Oh my You mastered Conqueror's Entanglement at around thirty, I also mastered it at around thirty, Rayleigh was even later! Our talents are trash compared to Luffy..."
Silvers Rayleigh: "Who says they're not! Roger, I think I mastered Conqueror's Entanglement several years later than you."
Kozuki Oden: "Then I'm slightly less trash than you three. I mastered Conqueror's Entanglement at twenty-seven."
Gol D. Roger: "Ahahaha! So we're all equally trash By the way, what about Golden Lion? When did he master it?"
Shiki: "Damn it! Roger, you're intentionally mocking me, aren't you?"
Gol D. Roger: "Oh dear, my apologies, I forgot you don't have it!"
Charlotte Linlin: "So Golden Lion doesn't have Conqueror's? Tsk tsk... at this level, he was actually in the same pirate crew as us back then"
Kaido: "Hahaha!! A guy without Conqueror's, thinking he can be crewmate with us!"
Shiki: "Damn it! What are you guys so proud of? If I had Conqueror's Haki, I would definitely be better than all of you! Look at you guys with Conqueror's, compared to the red-border Luffy, you're simply trash!"
While the big shots argue, the members of the Straw Hat Pirates are also amazed by the strength of the red-border Luffy!!
At the same time, they are deeply worried about Zoro over there.
Nami: "The strength of that Luffy over there is terrifying. Zoro won't be killed, will he?"
Franky: "It's hard to say... Zoro is still just a rookie at this point, yet he has to face such a powerful attack from Luffy..."
Nico Robin: "Judging from its strengths, Luffy would kill Zoro..."
Vinsmoke Sanji: "Beautiful Robin-chan is right!"
Roronoa Zoro: "No need to doubt...! Even if our Luffy now were to face me back then, he could kill me with a single blow. Not to mention that pervert Luffy over there..."
Tony Tony Chopper: "Waaah, poor Zoro over there..."
On Luffy's arms, there is a dense entanglement of Armament Haki combined with Conqueror's Haki
Even so, Luffy remains extremely cautious!
He is on high alert, waiting for the opportunity to strike!
Zoro's figure swiftly approaches like a cheetah, with a small leap, he is suspended in mid-air!!!
He raises his dual swords high!
"Tiger Hunt!!!" Zoro's fierce three-sword style strikes towards Luffy!!
Huh???
Faced with Zoro's attack, Luffy is completely bewildered!!!
What's going on?
Isn't he the strongest on the nearby islands?
Why are his attacks as clumsy as a child's???
Usopp: "Zoro over there is in such a sorry state... He's about to die, and Luffy is mercilessly mocking him..."
Franky: "This kind of mockery is really infuriating"
Roronoa Zoro: "I really want to go over there and cut that bastard Luffy!!"
Vinsmoke Sanji: "Is it possible... that you're not even a match for Red-border Luffy?"
Monkey D. Luffy: "Ah, ah, ah! I can't really kill Zoro, can I?!"
Luffy is at a loss as to why this guy's attacks have so many flaws, like the stars in the sky.
No! Don't fall for it!
Perhaps this is a deliberate feint from the opponent!
With this in mind, the Haki on Luffy's arms becomes even stronger!!
Swish!
Zoro's attack lands!!
The distance between the blades of his three swords and Luffy's body rapidly decreases!!
Nine feet!
Eight feet!
Seven feet!
.....
Three feet!
Two feet!
One foot!
It sounds like a long process, but it actually happens in the blink of an eye!!!
Just as Zoro's blade is about to touch Luffy's body, Luffy sidesteps...
Swish!!-
Zoro strikes empty air!!
"Nani!?" Seeing that he actually missed, Zoro widens his eyes in disbelief!!
He turns his head abruptly, looking at Luffy, only to find that the strange black color and unknown aura ripples on Luffy's arm have all disappeared!
"What... what does this mean? You clearly had prepared to strike just now, why didn't you?" Zoro loudly questions.
Luffy stares at Zoro carefully, realizing that he is not pretending, so he shakes his head and says, "Because if I had thrown that punch, you would have died..."
