Chapter 445: Another trump card!
Another trump card.
Chen Ye stopped watching.
Their gaze shifted from the dilapidated ancient robot.
Turn your head.
They met the gazes of Roger and Rocks.
Both of them were waiting for him to speak.
Roger's right hand gripped the hilt of the knife tightly.
The famous sword "Ace".
Fingertips turned red from applying too much pressure.
He was like a bowstring stretched to its limit.
It would explode if touched by a spark.
Rocks stood with his arms crossed.
The stance is defensive.
The muscles in his shoulders were taut like iron.
His gloomy eyes flashed with a volatile light.
The battlefield roared.
The shockwaves generated by Luffy's clash with the Five Elders grew stronger with each wave.
Hot air is blowing back.
The wind blew up Chenye's black hair.
He stood on the edge of the storm.
His face was expressionless.
Chen Ye spoke.
"There's no need to take action for now."
Every word is solid.
No hesitation.
No room for negotiation.
Roger's brow furrowed into a knot.
The character "川" (Chuan).
He opened his mouth.
The question, "Are you kidding me?" hit the tip of my tongue.
Chen Ye moved.
He pulled a finger out of his pocket.
index finger.
Hold it upright in front of you.
The movements are slow.
But Roger's words were swallowed back down his throat.
He stared intently at Chen Ye's fingers.
My cheek muscles twitched.
My temples throbbed twice.
Roger gritted his teeth.
Swallow your anger.
Chen Ye's finger was still pointing upwards.
He added the second half of the sentence.
"I want to see your other card."
Roger and Rocks both shuddered simultaneously.
The two looked at each other.
Less than half a second.
Roger's eyes seemed to ask: Do you understand?
Lox's eyes seemed to say, "No."
Half a second later, Roger suddenly turned around.
Keep a close eye on Chen Ye.
His voice was low and hoarse.
"What do you mean?"
"What's your trump card?"
"Whose trump card is it?"
Three questions were fired off in quick succession.
Lox was much more composed.
He didn't ask.
A pair of sinister eyes locked onto Chen Ye's face.
He wanted to glean something from Chen Ye's face.
But he failed.
Chenye's face was like a new mirror.
It illuminated the firelight.
The smoke of gunpowder is reflected in the light.
It means not letting emotions get in the way.
Chen Ye withdrew his finger.
He put his hands back into his pockets.
That carefree and complacent demeanor was incredibly irritating on this bloody battlefield.
He ignored Roger.
Turn your head to the side.
His gaze passed over Roger's shoulder and landed on the edge of the battlefield.
Which metal ruins were buried under rubble?
Chen Ye casually tossed out a sentence.
"Keep it a secret for now."
He paused for a moment.
A malicious smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
You'll find out soon enough.
Roger was so anxious about Chen Ye's behavior that his back teeth ached.
"It's always like this, it's so frustrating..."
Rocks stood to the side.
He didn't ask any further questions.
The man said to wait.
Then there must be a reason to wait.
Lox turned his gaze back to the battlefield.
As he turned his head, his Observation Haki quietly emanated.
He wants to find it himself.
Find the "other trump card" that Chen Ye mentioned.
An invisible spiritual force radiated outwards.
Several kilometers.
His senses swept across the center of the battlefield.
It swept over Luffy and the Five Elders.
He swept his gaze across Whitebeard Shanks and Dragon.
They swept across the naval positions.
Finally, we scanned the ruins where the ancient robot was located.
There was nothing there.
The pulse hidden in the robot's chest cavity was too weak.
As weak as a firefly behind a forest fire.
Im's black ocean of divine power submerged everything.
Lox's senses swept across the ruins.
Got nothing.
He withdrew his Observation Color.
He frowned.
He didn't say anything.
The center of the battlefield.
The battle reached a fever pitch.
Luffy is a white shooting star.
Weaving through the enormous bodies of the Five Elders.
The ground exploded.
Peter Saint's giant earthworms burst forth from the ground.
Open your mouth.
They wanted to launch a sneak attack from below.
Luffy didn't dodge.
He charged headlong into the giant maw.
He threw out his right fist.
A white fist was enveloped in flowing black light.
Top-tier Armament Haki Ryuo.
Dark red lightning bolts danced on the fist.
"boom!"
He punched Peter Saint in the upper jaw.
The dull thud of bones breaking echoed throughout the stadium.
Luffy slammed the entire earthworm back into the ground, upside down.
It crashed back into the hole it had drilled itself.
Gravel and soil gushed out like a fountain.
Luffy keeps going.
A somersault in mid-air.
Her legs stretched out like rubber.
Two white afterimages wrapped around the neck of the Maz Saint Bird.
a circle.
Two laps.
Three laps.
He was strangled to death.
It tightened suddenly.
Maz Saint let out a scream.
Using the force of the spin, Luffy swung Masamune's massive body up.
A 360-degree loop.
Loosen your legs.
The strange bird was flung out like a cannonball.
With a whooshing sound, it crashed straight down on the Saint of Vociulli.
The giant boar of Sacred Vocuri had no time to escape.
"Bang!"
The two demonic bodies collided.
The bones were broken.
Muscle tearing.
The sounds were mixed together, making one's scalp tingle.
The two giant beasts rolled into the ruins.
Smoke and dust billowed into the sky.
A brilliant counterattack.
But Luffy's body changes again.
His breathing quickened.
Each exhale produces a thicker and more rapid white mist than the last.
It's no longer a leisurely pulse.
It is a continuous spray.
The amplitude of his chest heaving increased to twice as much.
The outline of the ribs was visible beneath the white skin.
Frenzied expansion.
shrink.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
The heartbeat of the liberation drum is still going strong.
But there was some noise in the rhythm.
Extremely subtle fluctuations.
Like a super engine.
The tachometer is still in the green zone.
The fuel gauge needle has already quietly slid towards red.
Luffy threw another punch.
It missed.
Withdraw your arm.
Just as he retracted his fist, the Armament Haki on his fist flashed twice.
Bright.
Extinction.
Bright.
Extinction.
It wasn't his doing.
The problem lies in the supply of power.
This detail came out too quickly.
Less than a tenth of a second.
Nobody saw it.
Luffy himself didn't care.
But it's a few hundred meters away.
Chen Ye's eyes caught those two flashes.
He saw everything.
He didn't say anything.
She simply lowered her eyes.
Block the light from under your eyes.
Chenye activated his Observation Haki to its limit.
There are three lines in his mind.
Article 1.
The Nika power within Luffy is leaking.
Like a bucket with a hole in the bottom, it leaks faster and faster.
Every time Luffy throws a punch or dodges, his energy drops a bit.
The drop is getting bigger and bigger.
Article .
Im's mental fluctuations were frighteningly calm.
That's not how someone who's been beaten up should be.
Each time the Five Elders are knocked away, they repair themselves and are surrounded again.
They're all on the same beat.
Im isn't crazy.
She was counting the beats.
She is waiting.
Waiting for a raging symphony to reach its final, weakest note.
Article 3.
The faint pulse inside the ancient robot's chest cavity.
It's still jumping.
Chen Ye noticed it.
Whenever Luffy's Liberation Drum becomes unstable.
The robot's pulse will increase once more.
The amplitude is pitifully small.
But the trend is certain.
The weaker Luffy becomes, the more active that ancient pulse becomes.
Joy Boy's Will.
Spanning eight hundred years.
They sensed a crisis for the successor.
Three clues intertwined in Chen Ye's mind.
A sophisticated time network.
He was calculating in his head.
Luffy's Nikka form can only last for less than ten minutes at most.
If he uses his ultimate move again, the time will be even shorter.
Im was clearly calculating as well.
She controlled the Five Elders' attacks, and they looked fierce.
Actually, they were all holding back.
This forces Luffy to launch a full-scale counterattack.
It won't push Luffy to the brink of despair.
She was boiling a frog in lukewarm water.
Squeeze Luffy's last bit of potential out of him.
Chen Ye let out a breath.
The white mist dissipated as soon as it left the mouth.
His gaze swept across the battlefield.
From Luffy.
To ancient robots.
Then they flew back to the starting point.
Three images.
Luffy's white figure.
The Five Elders are in a constant cycle of breaking down and rebuilding.
The silent posture of the ancient robot.
Three rivers.
They are heading towards the same intersection.
That point is getting closer.
There is only one thing Chen Ye needs to do now.
and so on.
He spoke in a low voice.
The voice was calm to the point of being cold.
He didn't look at Roger.
I didn't even watch Rocks.
His gaze was fixed on the battlefield.
Like talking to oneself.
"Luffy himself has pretty much realized it too."
"His body is about to exit Nika form."
Roger let out a low murmur.
"Chen Ye..."
There was impatience in that voice.
And there's his own barely suppressed fighting spirit.
"Wait a little longer."
Two words.
Rocks closed his eyes.
Open your eyes again.
The anxiety in his eyes had completely disappeared.
and so on.
In the center of the battlefield.
Luffy landed on a giant rock.
His chest heaved violently.
Thick white mist spewed from every pore of his body.
He lowered his head.
He glanced at the fist.
The Armament Haki of the Ryuo Sakura dimmed slightly.
The Conqueror's Hide Lightning, which had been crawling continuously, began to flicker intermittently.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
The rhythm of the liberation drums continues.
But Luffy himself knows the answer.
It's the body screaming.
It's a countdown to the exhaustion of vitality.
This feeling... it's fucking familiar.
It was exactly the same as when they fought Kaido on Onigashima.
The power is slowly disappearing.
Luffy's eyes were incredibly sharp.
he knows.
The time for this fifth gear is almost up.
