Chapter 662: The Real Nika!
Chapter 662: The Real Nika!
At the center of the pure white pillar of light, a cataclysmic kinetic energy exploded.
A figure broke through the horizon. He was a meteorite traveling in reverse.
With an aura that seemed to tear everything apart, it crashed directly into this snow-covered, infernal battlefield.
The towering, pure white pillar of light possessed the will of a god. The pillar of light suddenly split apart from its very center.
The white light retreated rapidly to both sides. They bowed in homage to the arrival of the king.
A vast, white corridor of light stretched out before them.
That figure moved at an immeasurable speed, hurtling through the air without any restraint.
He moved too fast. Completely exceeding the limits of what the air could avoid.
The airflow was instantly compressed and collapsed. He left a long, white trail of light in mid-air.
The trail of light was so dazzling that its trajectory across the sky lingered for several seconds.
It hung high in the sky. The sky was marked with an indelible mark by the white light.
A massive rift opened in the sky, which had been ruled by darkness for a century. From the wound flowed the purest light of freedom.
Luffy's Nika form is fully revealed.
His entire body was tightly enveloped in a layer of pulsating white light. The light was completely different from Im's cold and chilling demonic energy.
It's not cold or hard. It's not glaring.
It possesses a warm, vibrant, and passionate life force. Light dances and ripples across its surface.
The light particles are countless tiny musical notes, dancing wildly on his skin.
They sounded the drumbeats of liberation.
The short, black hair changed shape. The hair transformed into a burning flame.
Pure white flames danced wildly in the gale. The howling wind could not extinguish the white flames overhead.
Every strand of his hair emitted a dazzling white light. He moved through the air.
A head of wildly flowing white hair was like a ball of sunfire dancing wildly. The firelight illuminated the black ice.
The intense white flames dispelled the cold.
Directly below Luffy's eyes, his signature crescent-shaped markings appear.
This time, the pattern was brighter than ever before. It shimmered with a faint golden luster in the white light.
It exudes an aura of authority that is impossible to look directly at.
His body changed. He became much taller than usual.
More muscular and robust.
Beneath the pure white skin, every muscle line was clearly visible.
His muscles were by no means bulky or clumsy. He wasn't like the bloated and ugly Celestial Dragon monsters induced by demonic energy.
This is an extremely well-coordinated physique. Every muscle and every bone is designed specifically for combat.
The ultimate in symmetry. The ultimate in perfection.
Every pulsating muscle fiber in this body contains terrifying energy powerful enough to shake the heavens and earth.
He was there. It sent chills down your spine.
What's most unsettling is the aura emanating from him.
Whitebeard once told Rocks, "Neither you nor I are a match for him."
This statement was the intuition of the strong in the old era. At this very moment...
Everyone who comes into contact with Luffy's aura agrees with this statement.
too strong.
The sheer power of his aura defied all conventional understanding. It was several times stronger than any of Luffy's previous transformations.
Measuring by multiples has lost its meaning. This is a leap in dimension.
It's a completely different level of ultimate sublimation.
The darkness was forcibly dispelled. The frigid air was instantly heated.
He is a newly risen sun, hanging in mid-air.
He unrestrainedly showered light and heat upon the earth, proclaiming to this world that had been shrouded in the demonic energy of Im for centuries.
I am coming.
Luffy's face was plastered with a huge smile that almost reached his ears.
It was a silly, carefree smile. He revealed two rows of neat, white teeth.
His smile appeared somewhat comical beneath the god's majesty. This was Luffy's true nature.
A radiant face. Deep within pure white eyes.
Burning with an unprecedented seriousness.
He was no longer a naive young man yearning for adventure. He was a man who had made a vow.
He wants to protect all his comrades on this battlefield. He wants to overthrow this mountain that is suffocating the world.
He wanted to return the freedom that belonged to this world. This resolve was as firm as a rock after gaining absolute power.
A smile is Luffy's unchangeable nature. The earnestness deep in his eyes is Luffy's unwavering resolve until death.
Luffy's body continued to move at high speed in mid-air. He did not slow down.
The air in its path was compressed to the point of collapse.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
A series of sonic booms exploded one after another. The sound was deafening.
Rings of white steam burst forth behind us.
He was flying in the sky. He lowered his head with great interest.
He flexed his wrist. He twisted it forcefully with his left hand.
Turn your right hand outwards.
Crackle, crackle.
The bones rubbed against the joints. A crisp popping sound was clearly audible amidst the booming sonic boom.
He was still adapting to this body. Adapting to this new power after the extreme enhancement.
His movements were so casual. So casual it was almost unbelievable.
The earth beneath my feet is a bloody inferno. Gods fight here.
Strong warriors fall here. But in Luffy's eyes...
This is a brand new playground. A playground where he can unleash his power without reservation.
Hehehe. ╰(*°▽°*)╯
Luffy let out his signature silly grin. He muttered to himself as he flew.
"This time it feels different."
He looked at his hands. His eyes shone with an astonishing light.
"My body feels lighter than before."
"The power has increased."
"There's absolutely no resistance when I rotate my arm!"
He shouted excitedly, waving his arms wildly.
He casually punched a few times into the void in front of him.
Boom. Boom. Boom.
A simple punch. A visible white shockwave erupted.
The shockwave swept forward. The surrounding air currents churned violently.
The void is distorted.
High in the sky, ten thousand meters away.
Chen Ye, who had been using Observation Haki to lock onto Luffy, clearly heard these carefree mutterings.
This ruthless chess player, whose strategies are flawless, felt his eyelids twitch uncontrollably twice.
Chen Ye's chest heaved. A helpless smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
To maintain such a playful attitude at a critical juncture that determines the fate of the world is precisely why only he can bear this power.
The ultimate enhancement of the Nikka form brings about a complete qualitative change in his perception. Luffy pushes his Observation Haki to terrifying levels at this moment.
Perception is no longer a linear exploration. It transforms into a vast, invisible ripple.
Centered entirely on Luffy, the attack instantly covered the entire vast battlefield.
This is a perception that transcends physical boundaries. In that instant, Luffy's consciousness detached from his body.
He became the entire sky. He looked down upon every inch of land, every person, and every wisp of demonic energy beneath his feet.
At this moment, all the souls on the battlefield were touched by his perception.
Luffy first detected the presence of auras on the edge of the ice field. That was the location of Zoro and Chopper.
His senses penetrated with pinpoint accuracy. He saw that large areas of muscle fibers throughout Zoro's body were torn apart.
The swordsman, who could never admit defeat, could only plunge Enma into the ice. He clung to the hilt of his sword, desperately supporting his swaying body.
He saw Chopper. The little reindeer collapsed, completely exhausted, on the hard ice.
The once soft fur was now stained with dark red blood.
The flame of life still flickered in both of them. They were both still alive.
Luffy's smile widened instantly. The joy in his smile was utterly pure.
From the bottom of my heart.
Zoro
Chopper
Luffy shouted in mid-air.
"Still alive"
"Very good"
"Hehehe"
Luffy's senses swept across the battlefield at lightning speed. He arrived at the fierce battle line where Whitebeard Rocks and the Divine Eagle were engaged.
He touched the dark golden divine eagle. A strong wariness of the pure white power flashed in the eagle's sharp eyes.
He peered out at the white beard. The old man wore a hearty smile.
He saw Lox. The unruly overlord of the old era.
The arrogant and domineering aura within him was trembling slightly.
Luffy's smile deepened. He continued to expand his senses outwards at an alarming pace.
In the ruins of the ice field. In the shattered ice valley.
He confirmed each of those familiar scents: Nami, Robin, Franky Brook.
Scattered everywhere, wounded and battered, yet still fighting to the death. The flame of their lives still burns.
With each confirmed sign of a crewmate's survival, Luffy's smile grew brighter.
The white light emanating from his body intensified even further.
At last.
All auras have been confirmed. Luffy's vast senses cover the entire area.
Without hesitation, they locked onto the very center of the main battlefield.
A figure hovered in mid-air. The figure was covered by a materialized barrier of dark red patterns.
Within Luffy's omniscient perception, the true nature of the energy contained within that figure was revealed.
It was a bottomless, pitch-black, viscous ocean. A terrifying abyss that swallowed everything.
Luffy's smile didn't disappear, but the seriousness deep in his eyes was completely ignited.
He stopped his muttering laughter. His lips were pressed tightly together into a straight line.
He cleared his mind of all distractions and focused all his attention on the dark figure suspended in mid-air.
This very second.
Luffy has locked onto Im.
At the same moment, Im, who was at the center of the dark red barrier, raised his head.
Two cold, venomous gazes, against the pure white light, were fixed on Luffy.
Two absolute wills will collide head-on in the next moment.
it has started.
The Third Nika versus the Previous Im!
