Chapter 37: Gears Second
"Frost Enhanced Focus Kick!!!" World Number One Ice Mage roared, an aura of frost suddenly enveloped his right leg, after one second of accumulation, World Number One Ice Mage launch his charged kick toward the Deep Sea King!
The combined forces of World Number One Ice Mage slammed onto the Deep Sea King Ronal's body!
Armament haki!
Focus kick!
Frost Spell!
Three different abilities combine into one!
World Number One Ice Mage has perfectly fused together these three different powers!
"Boom!!!" With a roaring bang, World Number One Ice Mage single handly kicked out a power that rivals the entire Frostbolt Brigade!
Over half of Deep Sea King Ronal's body was encased in ice!
However, World Number One Ice Mage also paid the price of a broken leg to achieve this power, losing further combat potential.
"How does it taste!" World Number One Ice Mage raised his head and couldn't help but let out a smile.
"Not bad...not bad at all!" Deep Sea King Ronal calmly said, then with a slight shake of his body, the ice encasing over half his body shattered into millions of pieces!
"Holy shit!" World Number One Ice Mage was stupefied.
F***, the ultimate technique he spent over ten hours creating...
Was completely useless?
"It's time to switch!"
At this time someone loudly shouted!
"It's Luffy!"
"Luffy Senpai is here! ! !"
"Luffy Senpai, now it's all up to you! Please start your performance!"
.....
Many of the players' eyes lit up and shouted in excitement.
After all, it's Luffy we're talking about, the man who created armament haki, the key which allows the other players to kill graphorns in close combat!
Even, when they were up against the Seafolks, armament haki played a crucial role!
"Huh? Luffy?" Deep Sea King turned his head and look at Luffy out of curiosity.
He was only a Body Refinement Realm trash.
So why do these humans respect him so much?
"It's fine now! I'm here!" Luffy opened his mouth and shouted out a very chuunibyou line! With the look of a hero arriving at the most crucial moment, he tore off the crudely made tie(made out of graphorn hide) around his neck!
"..." The players saw this and were left speechless.
Everything about Luffy is good, but the only problem is, his chuunibyou level is way off the chart!
Every time he speaks, it's almost always connected to anime!
"Only a Body Refinement Realm trash, do you think you can fight against me?" Deep Sea King looked down on Luffy with his eyes filled with disdain.
But Luffy open his mouth and spoke proudly.
"The fact that I'm weak, I know that better than anyone else!"
"This is not about whether I can win against you or not! It's about me having to take you on right here, right now!"
Luffy's face filled with a sense of justice and shouted back loudly!
These words even moved Deep Sea King Ronal.
But the players were all even more speechless.
"Holy shit, is Luffy Senpai recreating that famous scene?"
"F***, Luffy Senpai is actually cosplaying Mumen Rider?
"First it's All Might, now it's Mumen Rider? WTF is going on?"
"F***ing hell...wasn't I suppose to be playing a cultivation game? Was I somehow isekai into One Punch Man?"
"Shit, when you put it like that, I'm LMAO!"
...
Seeing this scene right out of One Punch Man, the players couldn't help but give Luffy a thumbs up!
After finishing showing off, Luffy was prepared to take action!
"Armament haki!" Luffy let out a low growl, and his right arm was covered in jet black armament haki!
After spending all of his contribution points, Luffy, whose cultivation is now the highest among the players at Body Refinement Realm Rank 9, can now barely cover one of his arms in armament haki!
"Puny human, are you going to use the same martial spell?" Deep Sea King Ronal couldn't give a damn.
Just now, several players attacked him with armament haki.
But they couldn't even break a single scale, instead, their bones fractured under their own attacks.
If that isn't garbage, then what is?
"Everything can be armament haki! You called armament haki trash? Then let me show you my newly created technique!" Luffy calmly said, and then suddenly, he started to circulate his Azure Emperor Immortal Physique at full drive.
Cyan rays of lights slowly flowed through Luffy's body giving him an immense boost!
However, his cultivation was still limited at the Body Refinement Realm!
"That cultivation technique...seems to be extremely heaven-defying...however, no matter how heaven-defying it is, it's still not enough, with your cultivation of only Body Refinement Realm, you can't even scratch me at all!" Deep Sea King Ronal was a little surprised, but then he gave another disdainful smile.
With this cultivation technique, Luffy might be able to face an Early Stage of Spirit Realm Seafolk head-on without losing!
But...
He was the Deep Sea King!
A Foundation Realm Seafolk powerhouse!
But Luffy's next move caused the players to enter an uproar!
"Gear Second! ! !" Luffy let out a low growl, the energy of the Azure Emperor Immortal Physique within him, all of the sudden, started to flow back in reverse inside of Luffy's body!
All cultivators know that.
Once a cultivation technique flow in reverse, perhaps in the short term it will provide unbelievable power due to the spirit energy running berserk!
But, permanent damage will be caused to the user's body with serious cases even leading to instantaneous death!
Only cultivators who have gone mad will have their cultivation technique reverse and enter a berserk state!
But Luffy was entering that state on his own accord!
"Reversing your cultivation?" Deep Sea King Ronald was shocked and he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
There is actually a cultivator crazy enough to do this?
"Boom boom boom!" Under the shocked looks of the players, Luffy's skin quickly becomes blood-red, due to having his cultivation technique reverse, as a powerful force ran amok through his body, and a mist of blood started to spew out of his pores!
This was all caused by the blood vessels being severely damaged! (Which is normally unbelievably painful for the user, but Luffy is a player so, yeah.)
However, this scene seems to strongly resemble a certain character technique in One Piece who also happens to be called Luffy!
Simultaneously!
Luffy's power levels experience a huge explosion, although he was still at the Body Refinement Realm, his power levels were almost comparable to the power levels of an Early Stage of Spirit Realm!
And both of Luffy's arms and legs were covered in jet black armament haki!
Four limbs armament haki!
Although it was still inferior to He Yi Ming's full-body armament haki, it was still far superior compared to the other players!
"Holy shit, F*** me, there is even a Gear Second!"
"Is that a four limbs armament haki? OMG, Luffy Senpai POGGERS!"
"You...you can even do that?"
"That's my Luffy Senpai!"
"Luffy Senpai go beat up the Deep Sea King!"
.....
The players were dumbfounded.
WTF!
Where in the world did the Gear Second of One Piece come from?
But...
Luffy being able to use Gear Second seems to be....very reasonable!
"Reversing your cultivation to gain a temporary boost in power?" Deep Sea King Ronal was truly shocked for the first time!
But in the next moment, Luffy stomped on the ground and leap toward Deep Sea King Ronal in a blink of an eye!
And then...
"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA! ! !" Luffy let out a weird battle cry as he unleashed an extremely fast and powerful barrage of punches onto Deep Sea King Ronal's body!
"Bang bang bang!" The sound of fists impacting onto flesh lasted for a few seconds, in that short amount of time, Luffy has landed over a hundred punches!
It was only after he exhausted all of his stamina did Luffy finally stopped his ora barrage!
After landing on the ground, Luffy felt that his body was completely worn out, to the point that he even struggled to stand still, taking a step was all but a pipe dream.
In this onslaught of attacks, it seems like the Deep Sea King Ronal was suppressed and was powerless to fight back.
"Hahaha, now do you understand my true power!" Luffy couldn't help laughing smugly.
Soon, the smokes slowly dissipate and the players saw the fruits of Luffy's labor.
