**BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!**
The scorching Magma Pillars erupted one after another.
The surging waves of intense heat instantly caused the surrounding temperature to soar.
The onlookers had already retreated, unable to contain themselves any longer.
However, watching the figure leisurely strolling amongst the erupting Magma Pillars, everyone was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.
They truly worried that Luo Yu would accidentally be struck by a Magma Pillar and instantly turn to ash.
Time ticked by, and a figure emerged unscathed from the hundreds of fiery pillars.
This kind of prescient ability, if it wasn't Observation Haki from Two-Colored Haki, then what was it?
What was that?
"He really awakened Observation Haki after just one look?" Zeff was utterly shocked.
"Garp, you wouldn't have omitted anything on the report, would you?"
Everyone around was equally astonished.
If anyone still had doubts, they could actually try it themselves, just like Luo Yu did.
Could it really be a case of delayed gratification?
Or, had Luo Yu been hiding something from the very beginning?
"Zeff, you old coot, do you really think this old man enjoys being as wishy-washy as Sengoku? If this brat had mastered Haki long ago, I would have already been boasting about it! Why would I even bother filling out a nomination application for you all?" Garp retorted, finally recovering from his shock.
However, before the words could even leave his mouth, Sengoku kicked him away.
Facing Luo Yu's sudden awakening of Observation Haki and his leisurely demeanor under Akainu's attacks, even Sengoku was filled with shock.
If Garp was right, then this was the talent of a genius!
"Kid, I don't care if you really learned it after seeing it once, or if you've been holding back and already mastered it. But relying solely on Observation Haki isn't enough to make you arrogant. Today, I'll see how far you can go."
"Come at me, and let me test your Strength!"
Akainu's face was ashen, and the magma accumulated within his body erupted with a roar.
He shot forward like a rocket, carrying the force of ten thousand tons, and hurtled towards Luo Yu.
The short distance of a few dozen meters was quickly closed under Akainu's sudden burst of speed.
The sudden outburst caused everyone's expressions to change drastically.
By the time they recovered, they saw Akainu's magma-covered fist slamming down.
"Those words sound a bit familiar?" Garp was taken aback. "Didn't Zeff say something similar yesterday?"
"Garp, you bastard! At a time like this, why aren't you helping me save him? That little brat may have mastered the Six Powers Secret Techniques and Observation Haki, but compared to Akainu's Devil Fruit Ability, he has no chance of withstanding it!" Sengoku roared, rushing forward first.
It was rare for the Marine Headquarters to encounter such an outstanding talent.
Regardless of whether Luo Yu could become an Admiral in the future, Sengoku, as the Fleet Admiral, absolutely didn't want to see Luo Yu disheartened.
"Sengoku, don't go yet! We may have underestimated that little brat again!" Zeff suddenly shouted.
Sengoku, who had only rushed out a few meters, abruptly stopped.
Watching the figure seemingly stunned by the attack.
At this moment, he suddenly moved.
With a stride forward, the moment he stomped down, immense power erupted.
The thick surface of the stage crumbled instantly.
Those marines who had witnessed Zeff being blasted away yesterday, their pupils contracted to the extreme.
Someone couldn't help but exclaim in alarm.
"He, he's not planning to clash with the magma barehanded, is he? Admiral Sakazuki is a Logia Devil Fruit user. Under element transformation, he probably won't even be able to touch his clothes."
"Kid, it seems you are still too young. I am a Logia Devil Fruit user!" Akainu snorted coldly, the magma flowing on his body preparing to recede slightly.
Akainu was indeed a little displeased by the newcomer's arrogance.
However, he knew very well that not only Zeff and Garp, but even Sengoku and others, had placed high hopes on Luo Yu.
He could teach him a lesson, but he absolutely couldn't take his life.
Yet, as this thought just began to form in his mind, a sudden shout rang out.
"Sakazuki, be careful!"
Akainu's expression faltered, and his movements with his hands paused slightly.
Why wasn't he told to be careful, but rather him?
He was a Logia Devil Fruit ability user!
Buzz!
A sudden sound vibrated through the air.
A strange sense of danger washed over him.
Looking at Luo Yu, who was right in front of him and adopting a bizarre starting pose, Akainu's pupils suddenly contracted.
The streaks of ink-black, like arcs of electricity, that danced around Luo Yu's hands, filled Akainu with shock.
He had not only just learned Observation Haki, but also Two-Colored Haki!
Looking at Luo Yu's hands, which were enveloped in jet-black Armament Haki!
Forget about elementizing!
"Flowing Water Crushing Rock Fist/Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist!"
**BOOM!**
Luo Yu stomped his feet, his fists erupting like cannonballs.
Under the enhancement of Armament Haki, the so-called Magma Pillars seemed noticeably pale and weak.
A torrential downpour of fist shadows instantly engulfed Akainu.
Each punch landed like a god beating a war drum, the sounds of their impacts thundering through the heavens.
Caught in this onslaught, Akainu retreated, step by step.
"Full Body Armament Haki!"
Akainu roared in anger.
After taking a dozen steps, he barely managed to stop himself.
However, as soon as Armament Haki began to spread across his body,
Akainu saw Luo Yu's arm, already bulging like a boulder, doubling in size.
At the same time, rings of Haki arcs, like a whirlwind, swirled around his arm.
"This is Haki emission! This brat has already mastered advanced Haki!" Sengoku's pupils constricted, and he roared urgently.
"Sakazuki, get out of the way quickly! Don't try to take this head-on!"
Get out of the way?
Akainu was stunned for a moment.
He'd been caught off guard. He'd wanted to avoid the brunt of the attack!
But one mistake led to another.
Facing the unexpected attack from Luo Yu,
Akainu clearly had nowhere to dodge.
**"Flowing Sakura - Roaring Rock Fist!"**
**Boom!**
Luo Yu took another large step forward. The instant his final punch landed, he channeled his Haki using the Six Powers Secret Techniques for the first time.
Everything felt natural, and he finally reached the level of Flowing Sakura, the advanced Armament Haki, in the eyes of others.[T/N :Advanced Armament Haki, also known as Ryuo or Flowing Sakura in Wano Country]
**BOOM!**
A low explosion, like a giant cannon erupting.
With Akainu as the center, the ground of the hundred-meter ring collapsed and caved in. The violent impact of the shockwave swept across the entire arena like a hurricane.
The Flowing Sakura/Ryuo impact, frantically accumulating on Luo Yu's right arm, surged out like a volcanic eruption.
The ground along the way was instantly torn into a massive chasm.
Akainu, who had unleashed his full body Armament Haki, was sent flying backward like a cannonball.
Is this what they mean by "the same words, but a heavier beating"?
