Chapter 308 - Battle of Marineford Part 2

"Marines, attack him!"

The Vice Admiral Onigumo roared as he took out his swords.

Hearing his order, the marine soldiers also took out their weapons and gulped heavily before running towards Luffy.

"Seriously?"

Luffy couldn't help but complain. It was clear that these people wouldn't even be able to reach him.

But this Vice Admiral just sent them forward to their deaths. At least, ask an Admiral to stop him.

While complaining, Luffy used Soru to casually move forward.

He didn't even move his finger. He just casually released his Conqueror Haki and made them pass out on the spot.

And, he did it one by one.

It wasn't like before when he targeted everyone at once. This time, he used it with such precision that only one marine would fall at a time.

As soon as he finished them, Luffy instantly reached in front of Onigumo.

He didn't remember this person that well, but he knew this was Zoro's opponent in Enies Lobby and followed Akainu's justice.

Seeing him, Luffy nodded his head and said.

"Good! I don't like you."

Hearing his words, Onigumo transformed into his Spider form, where he had eight blades in his hands, and roared.

"I hate you, Pirates! Die!"

His sword moved like a bullet from a Gatling gun. They were ferocious and fast. Each attack was aimed at his weak point.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Unfortunately, they didn't even reach him. Not a single sword even touched the corner of his clothes.

Suddenly, a red light appeared in Luffy's eyes.

Without much hesitation, he instantly appeared in front of Onigumo and coated his fist with Advanced Armament Haki.

He stretched back his hand, and the flames erupted from his fist. It looked like a burning sun that was hot enough to melt the ice underneath.

[Gomu Gomu No- Red Hawk]

Bang!

Luffy's fist struck Onigumo on his chest, as the fire burned deep within his body and came out from the other side.

At the same time, his insides were burning with heat and breaking like a torn rubber.

Of course, it wasn't enough.

Luffy moved his hand, caught Onigumo by his neck, and slightly to the right. At this moment, a massive green sword slash was coming his way.

It was moving extremely fast and was locked on him.

He also noticed one of the Whitebeard Pirates rushing towards him to block the slash, but Luffy simply took matters into his own hands.

He released Haki on the body of the Vice Admiral and used his body to block the slash.

Crash! Bang!

The green slash reached the body of the Vice Admiral and started piercing through his body.

Despite Luffy's Armament Haki, it wasn't his body, and Luffy wasn't keen on keeping this guy's life.

So, his weakened Armament Haki was easily pierced through, and the back of the marine was split apart.

Unfortunately, the green slash vanished upon reaching inside.

Seeing this, Luffy simply clicked his tongue and threw aside the body of the Vice Admiral.

At this moment, Sengoku was fuming with anger. It was one thing if Luffy just defeated his Vice Admiral.

He didn't just defeat him, but also used him as a shield against Hawkeye's attack.

Of course, he wasn't just angry with Luffy. He was also angry with Hawkeye.

Because he released his attack when Onigumo was fighting Luffy. This put Onigumo in danger as well.

Unfortunately, someone like Hawkeye didn't care.

He simply commented.

"Good Observation Haki!"

"Observation Haki? Don't tell me he sensed your attack while fighting Marine Vice Admiral?"

Doflamingo felt the corner of his lips twitch. He was still angry about the fact that Luffy was stronger than him despite being a newcomer.

Hearing Hawkeye comment, he felt even more unwilling to be behind a brat who had just started as a pirate.

"Straw Hat!"

A roar shook the very core of Marineford as a magma-covered Admiral rushed towards Luffy at an extreme speed.

Of course, it was still too slow in Luffy's eyes.

But seeing Akainu, the fire in his heart only burned fiercely as he clenched his fist with Armament Haki and Supreme King's Haki.

When two colored Haki combined on his fist, he used his foot as springs and jumped straight towards Akainu.

[Great Eruption]

Akainu roared as he turned his hand into magma. The sulfuric acid and intense heat of the magma burned the air as it expanded like a balloon.

Akainu's Observation Haki locked Luffy as he punched towards the ground with all of his strength.

Only at this moment, he couldn't find Luffy.

His eyes couldn't see him. His Observation Haki couldn't trace him.

He had disappeared.

Luffy was nowhere to be found. In the middle of his fall, Akainu panicked for the first time.

Because he couldn't even sense Luffy, he didn't even know where to look.

But Luffy appeared above him. With his fist as gigantic as a battleship and flames burning like magma.

With Akainu below him, Luffy pulled down his blazing red fist, coated with Advanced Armament Haki and Advanced Conqueror Haki.

[Gomu Gomu No]

[Red Roc]

Bang!

His fist struck Akainu on his back, cracking some of his bones and splattering the magma all around.

The intense heat on his fist wasn't enough to burn Akainu, but the force behind his attack was enough to seriously break his bones.

Thud!

Akainu fell like a cannonball, piercing through the surface of ice.

"Cough! Cough!"

Akainu found it hard just to stand up straight. He tried turning his body into magma, but it only made the ice melt.

If he continued like this, it would only put him in danger of sinking into the sea.

Thud!

At this moment, Luffy landed in front of Akainu. His eyes looked cold, nothing like the previous Luffy. Luffy looked down on him and said.

"You will pay for what you did to Robin."

At this moment, Luffy suddenly raised his foot into the sky. Coating his hell with Armament Haki and Supreme Haki.

While he was preparing for his attack, the other two Admirals couldn't just stand and let him destroy Akainu.

This wasn't a one-on-one duel.

When Luffy disappeared, they also used their Observation Haki, but couldn't sense him.

At this moment, the more Garp looked at his grandson, the more he looked like Roger and Shanks.

Whether it was his insane control over his Conqueror Haki or its utilization, these were things that only someone of their caliber could do.

There was a clear-cut difference between Garp and Roger.

It wasn't in combat power, but in their strength.

Roger was good with Haki. He was exceptionally good with all three kinds of Haki. And, he was also a Great Swordsman.

Garp, on the other hand, was good with Haki but not as good as Roger. Instead, he had trained his fist to the point where it could withstand the sharpness of a blade without any Haki.

At the same time, Roger was busy sailing around while Garp was training his body to the absolute limit.

So, even if Roger was good with Haki, he was equal to Garp in strength.

Sengoku didn't focus on training as much as Garp, but his Devil Fruit helped him reach a similar level of strength.

Luffy, on the other hand, was simply cheating.

He had trained seriously under Liam. Although he didn't train like Garp, his training was focused on Haki rather than strength.

He also had a God-Level Devil Fruit. And, he had several things that increased his strength, like those potions and the method of eating.

Now that his Haki had reached the level of Red Hair, Garp could politely say that his grandson was stronger than Red Hair and Roger.

Thinking about it, he forced himself not to laugh.

Only to realize that his grandson was also a pirate.

"Aokiji, yoi! Your opponent is us."

Marco, transformed in his Phoenix Form, appeared in front of Aokiji alongside Jozu.

Jozu was already close to Luffy, but he stopped when Luffy blocked Hawkeye's attack.

So, when he saw Aokiji and Kizaru running towards Luffy, he immediately came together.

So did Marco, especially since his speed was quite fast.

Of course, the fastest man was none other than Kizaru. Unfortunately, his target was Luffy.

So, one didn't need to keep up with him but rather appear in front of him.

And that's exactly what this person did.

Bang!

Douglas Bullet landed behind Luffy with his full-body Armament coating and smirked.

"Kizaru, your opponent is me."

Suddenly, a fierce moving sand appeared like a tornado. The tornado blocked the straight light beam that was moving towards Luffy.

Bang!

The light instantly collided against the sand and destroyed it into pieces, but this also gave Bullet a chance to charge forward with all of his strength.

At this moment, Luffy had coated his feet with Armament Haki and Conqueror Haki, pulling down his foot with all of his strength.
