Chapter 7 Hard... Armament Haki?
Chapter 7 Hard... Armament Haki?
Urouge's size finally stopped at nine meters, and the aura emanating from him was several times stronger than before!
The head, which had been knocked to one side by Uvogin, slowly straightened under the storm of punches.
His rolled-back eyes regained their luster, and were once again filled with power and arrogance.
His lips slowly curled into a smile of extreme confidence.
Uvogin stopped his attack, staring in astonishment at the scene before him.
"Seriously?!"
At this moment, Urouge was like a giant in Uvogin's eyes, and his fists could only reach the opponent's calves.
"Thank you... for 'recharging' me for so long."
Ulki stretched his now thicker arms and neck, making a "crackling" sound as his joints popped.
He felt the unprecedented, almost overflowing, immense power surging within him, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
"This is the first time... I've ever accumulated such terrifying power~"
He lowered his head, looking down at Uvogin below, his eyes filled with a cat-and-mouse playfulness and absolute confidence.
"In return—"
"You'll have to take my hit too."
"Prepare the captain's weapons!" a monk shouted.
Immediately, two people came running over, struggling to carry a huge, strangely shaped weapon—a giant pencil that was nearly four meters long!
This weapon, which would normally seem incredibly cumbersome in the hands of an ordinary person, now appears perfectly suited to the nine-meter-tall Urki.
Urki picked up the giant pencil with both hands and swung it around a few times, creating a fierce gust of wind that made the monks who were nearby lose their footing.
"The captain will prevail!"
"Lord Urouge is amazing!"
"No one can withstand this attack; the opponent is doomed!!"
The monks erupted in another thunderous cheer, halfway through the night, as if Uvogin were already a corpse.
call out--!
A sharp whooshing sound rang out, and Urki's body suddenly vanished from the spot.
Crunch!
The boat planks were dented by the unrestrained force.
His arm, holding the pencil, was muscular and veined, brimming with astonishing power, aimed directly at Uvogin, its ferocious speed far exceeding that before.
The air in front of the pencil was visibly distorted and compressed, producing an extremely sharp sonic boom!
Before the attack even truly arrived, the powerful gust of wind already made the air around Uvogin howl.
Time seemed to slow down to almost stand still at that moment.
Faced with this devastating blow, as if a meteor had fallen from the sky, Uvogin's excitement and ecstasy reached their peak!
"That's more like it—!!!"
"Hahahaha!!!"
He let out a deafening laugh that echoed across the surrounding area.
"Who says I can't catch it?" Uvogin roared, not dodging but instead suddenly spreading his arms wide, exposing his muscular chest completely to the giant pencil!
"I'll show you with a 'hard' connection!"
An invisible and colorless substance began to surge wildly from every corner of Uvogin's body, gradually converging towards his chest.
This is the power of the Hunter world, the core power of the Nen system—Ki.
Uvogin concentrated all his energy at a point on his chest with extremely high efficiency. Then, using a more advanced technique of "entanglement," he tightly wrapped and compressed the massive amount of Nen energy gathered in the area in front of his chest, greatly increasing the density of the energy there.
The skin on her chest had darkened slightly without anyone noticing.
This is the advanced application technique of ki in the Nen system – "Hard".
By combining the four application techniques of "Entanglement", "Absolute", "Refinement" and "Spark", all the energy in the body is concentrated in one place to unleash 100% power!
At this moment, Uvogin's chest, in terms of defense and hardness, has surpassed most known metals in the world!
The next second, the pencil made contact with his chest—
A deafening roar, ten or even a hundred times louder than any previous collision, suddenly exploded!
Urouge's giant pencil slammed solidly into Uvogin's chest, which was filled with the "hardness" of his entire body!
The moment they made contact, a visible, tsunami-like ring of white air surged outwards from the two of them!
The sawdust and dust on the deck were instantly cleared away! The monks who were nearby were even blown about by the blast wave!
"Snap, snap, snap—!"
The deck beneath their feet could no longer withstand the terrifying force of the impact, and the fragile structure shattered, collapsed, and spread out like a spider web!
Under the impact of this indescribable force, Uvogin's body, which was as stable as a mountain, was shaken for the first time!
His body instantly arched into a bow shape, like a soccer ball being blasted with all its might, his feet leaving the ground as he flew backward!
A series of white ripples of air exploded on his back!
"Boom—!"
He smashed through the treacherous pole, shattered the hull, and crashed into the sturdy cabin at the rear!
Finally, with a sickening, twisting sound, the entire ship's cabin collapsed with a deafening roar! It sent splinters and dust flying everywhere, completely burying Uvogin's figure.
Urki remained in his swinging stance, breathing heavily, yet a victorious smile played on his lips as he gazed in the direction of the rest of the brigade.
"Take one down, now it's your turn."
"Ooooooooooo!!!"
The monks behind him erupted in a thunderous roar of cheers and strange cries.
"Our boss is invincible!!"
"Long live the eccentric monk Urki!!"
"The Corrupted Monk Pirates are the strongest!!"
However, Urki soon realized that something was wrong.
The members of the Phantom Troupe showed no sadness, anger, or panic that one would expect after a comrade has been "killed."
Their expressions...were eerily calm.
What happened?!
A chill crept up Urki's spine.
His smile froze.
Just then—
"Squeak—"
The ruins were lifted, and Uvogin's figure slowly emerged from the smoke and dust.
The cheers behind him stopped abruptly.
Urki stiffly and slowly twisted his neck.
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a majestic figure emerged steadily, step by step.
It's Wokkin!
A trickle of bright red blood hung from the corner of his mouth, and in the very center of his bare chest was a clear, deep circular indentation, the surrounding skin an unnatural dark black.
Urouge stared incredulously at Uvogin's bruised chest, swallowed hard, and slowly uttered a single three-word phrase.
"Armor...color?!?"
Uvogin casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, then dusted off the dust on his chest as if he had just been bitten by a mosquito.
He stretched his limbs, making cracking sounds, and walked step by step toward the still massive Urki.
"Warm-up complete."
"That's a really good ability. It's my turn now..."
At the same time, his right arm began to circle in the air, slowly rotating up and down...
Like a clockwork mechanism, it begins to gather power.
