Chapter 79: 1vs2

Luo Ning demanded, "Then tell me what crime I committed!" He immediately allocated all the free points he had just obtained to his physique and Reiatsu.

But this time, Sengoku didn't answer verbally. What responded to Luo Ning was a huge golden palm.

There was also a terrifying shockwave on the palm.

This time Luo Ning didn't dodge, but punched directly. The fist and palm collided with each other.

The terrifying impact instantly shattered the surrounding ice, and the airwaves formed circles of terrifying shockwaves that scattered in all directions. Some reporters fell directly on the deck of the ship under the blow of the blast.

After the aftermath dissipated, everyone saw that Sengoku had withdrawn his palm.

"It's really fast, and uses Armament Haki to resist my attack. Are you afraid of becoming like Onigimo?"

Luo Ning really had the idea of injecting the power of fantasy into Sengoku's body just now, but at the moment when he was about to touch the opponent's palm, a wave of Armament Haki suddenly erupted, blocking Luo Ning's attack for a moment.

By the time Luo Ning broke through the Armament Haki, Sengoku had already withdrawn his hand, obviously not wanting to touch him.

Although Sengoku and others didn't analyze what Luo Ning's abilities are, they still took some precautions against the known abilities.

"Does it really need to be touched?"

Sengoku is also a little lucky at this moment. Fortunately, he was careful enough. Otherwise, once his bones are turned into biscuits. With his current posture, his body would likely collapse instantly, and it would be much more miserable than Onigumo.

"Fantasy!"

Luo Ning activated his fantasy power. Garp had been staring at him intently at this moment, probably looking for a loophole. Sengoku's attack just now was just a probing attack; it wouldn't be so simple for him to withdraw his hand so easily.

That being the case, then Luo Ning wouldn't be polite. The power of fantasy fully erupted.

A gigantic boulder appeared above Sengoku and Garp, then fell.

"Where did the stone come out from?"

Seeing this scene, Sengoku slapped upwards. The terrifying shockwave shattered the huge rocks above, but the scattered rocks turned into magma in an instant.

"Magma? Akainu!"

Kizaru subconsciously looked at Akainu beside him when he saw this scene.

"Not me!"

Akainu was also confused. In fact, Kizaru also knew it wasn't Akainu, but he subconsciously thought about it. After all, the whole world knows that Akainu is the only one who can manipulate magma.

"Why did it turn into magma? Buddha's shockwave!"

Sengoku's pupils shrank. This sudden change truly shocked him. He released his Armament Haki, and the shockwave went straight up to disperse all the magma that was about to fall on him.

But the moment he broke up the magma, a stream of water fell from the sky, taking advantage of the gap Sengoku had just created by attacking and drenching him.

In an instant, Sengoku's Buddha body turned into a soaked chicken, and his body shrank suddenly until he returned to human form.

"Seawater!"

Sengoku's ability suddenly failed, and he realized Luo Ning could use seawater to negate his powers. The initial boulder and magma attack were a clever ploy to force Sengoku into expending his power, leaving him vulnerable to the subsequent seawater attack.

Just as surprise overwhelmed Sengoku, steel spikes erupted from the ice, lunging towards him. Reacting swiftly, Sengoku channeled Armament Haki. While seawater could nullify his Devil Fruit ability and weaken him, it held no power over Haki. The spikes pierced Sengoku's body, but inflicted minimal damage.

Seizing this opportunity, Garp, who had remained silent until this moment, charged directly at Luo Ning and unleashed a powerful punch. Luo Ning, however, had not entirely discounted Garp as a threat. He understood the formidable nature of the Vice Admiral.

"Vice Admiral Garp, your timing is impeccable! But I haven't forgotten about you!"

If Luo Ning's focus had been solely on Sengoku, Garp's attack might have landed. After all, Luo Ning's fantasy power required concentration, and dividing his attention could weaken its overall effect. However, Luo Ning remained mindful of Garp, rendering the attempted sneak attack ineffective.

Despite this, Garp's assault forced Luo Ning to divert his attention, leaving Sengoku momentarily out of immediate danger. After all, Sengoku was at his weakest after being doused with seawater.

"It seems his ability can't handle too much divided attention!"

Sengoku wasn't the only one who noticed this. Tsuru, Kizaru, and Akainu all became aware of this crucial detail.

All these Marines were seasoned veterans, keenly aware that this was the golden opportunity to press their attack on Sengoku. However, Garp's intervention disrupted Luo Ning's assault rhythm, leaving him without the focus needed to maintain pressure on Sengoku.

The potency of seawater's weakening effect diminishes with the strength of the Devil Fruit user. Sengoku swiftly recovered his composure and, instead of relying on his powers, opted for a combined assault with Garp. Their teamwork far surpassed that of Akainu and Kizaru. Each attack capitalized on Luo Ning's momentary distractions, creating openings for further assault.

While undeniably strong, Luo Ning lacked combat experience compared to these Marines. This was his greatest weakness. However, his absolute defense, strength, and self-healing ability allowed him to shrug off attacks from both opponents. He simply focused his assault on a single target deep within the mountain, completely disregarding the other's attacks.

This resulted in a swift reversal of fortune. Through continuous enhancement, Luo Ning's power had grown exponentially. The current Luo Ning was a far cry from the one they had previously apprehended. Before, defeating Garp required a significant amount of time, but now, Luo Ning had managed to shatter several of his bones.

This necessitated the use of Armament Haki by both Marines to maintain distance from Luo Ning. To counter their defense, Luo Ning imagined the power of penetration with each attack. Though there was no direct physical contact, the force of his blows still impacted them both.

For denizens of the One Piece world, accustomed to battles spanning days and nights, a ten-minute skirmish might seem laughably brief. However, in these ten short minutes, Sengoku and Garp had already reached their breaking point.
