Grand Line’s Lord Of Shadows

Chapter 43: A Small Test Of Skills, Luke Vs Netherworld Pirate



A week passed in a hurry.

Wapol's disappearance, the king of the Drum Kingdom, caused a lot of sensation.

But this has nothing to do with Luke.

The Thriller Bark continued to sail on the sea, heading towards the Little Garden.

During this period, they also encountered many pirates who had no eye.

Especially attracted by the huge and eye-catching golden bell.

However, these pirates paid the price for their greed.

They became a prisoner, had their shadow taken away, and were imprisoned in the underground prison.

"Then, Luke-sama, we're going to take action!"

On this day, the sky was clear, and the wind was gentle.

In the spacious training ground of the Thriller Bark, Wyper stared at Luke in front of him; his eyes were full of fighting intent.

Not just him but also Brook, Van Augur, Perona, and Hogback.

"It doesn't matter, just go boldly..."

Luke laughed: "Let me see your progress these days!"

Not to mention, Perona and the others, even those zombie generals, could not threaten him.

This is the self-confidence of the strong.

"Lightning Flash!"

Hearing this, Wyper talks no more nonsense.

His right wrist turned into lightning and pointed directly towards Luke.

In the past few days, Luke had already introduced to him one by one the series of moves and principles developed by Enel on the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

It allowed him to gain a lot from the development of his own abilities.

A lot of detours have been avoided, and time has been greatly saved.

He follows Luke's directions and practices a few of those moves developed by Enel to have a better grasp of his devil fruit abilities.

"Sizz... Sizz..."

The electric light shines, and an astonishing lightning bolt comes to Luke.

But Luke didn't dodge and just kicked out violently with his right foot.

"Tempest Kick: Riot!"

"Call out"

A fierce light green blade shot through the air.

It collided fiercely with the incoming lightning bolt.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

There was a serious loud explosion.

The dazzling lightning and smoke filled the training ground.

But at the same time.

"Whoosh..." Van Augur moved.

His whole body disappeared from Luke's sight at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Almost at the same time, a gunshot echoed in an instant.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" The air seemed to have invisible ripples, and bullets invisible to the naked eye were fired towards Luke.

The bullet targetted Luke's head, showing no mercy.

"Paper Arts!"

With the help of his powerful Observation Haki, Luke's entire figure was like an extremely thin piece of paper, easily dodging the three bullets that came.

Then, the bullet continued unabated, leaving three shocking holes in the wall not far away.

"Shave..."

At this time, Perona stepped hard and, at an astonishing speed, flew in front of Luke.

Her right palm suddenly swiped: "Negative ghost!"

"Swipe… swipe..." Several Negative Ghosts flew out and rushed directly towards Luke, but it didn't even touch a single strand of his hair. 

The next moment, Perona felt a sharp pain.

"Bang!!" 

A punch landed on her abdomen.

Her delicate face was distorted, and she was about to vomit out.

With a scream, she flew out like a cannonball.

"Perona, this level is far from enough!" Luke chuckled.

Perona has made great progress these days under his high-pressure training.

But it's obviously still far from enough.

"Whoosh! Whoosh..."

Luke's body shook as if he felt something.

Once again, a few bullets that were invisible to the naked eye flashed past, as well as those Negative Ghosts that relentlessly kept rushing toward him.

"Shave... Polka Continuation!"

At this time, Brook rushed forward at an alarming speed.

Moreover,  the sword, which had already been unsheathed, stabbed out in an instant.

"Whoosh..." The sharp sword swiftly tore through the air, but Luke easily dodged it.

"Moonwalk... Tempest Kick: Riot!"

The next moment, Luke stomped hard, then he rushed up to the sky and looked at Brook below.

Then, his right foot suddenly kicked out several times.

"Whoosh..."

One after another, a light green blade rushes out.

Like a violent storm, they bombard Brook.

Not only him, but also Dr. Hogback, who had just rushed up, could not help but have a change of expression in horror and dodge in embarrassment.

"Boom...!" "Boom...!" "Boom...!"

Loud noises continued to echo while smoke and dust filled the sky.

The earth was blasted into a mess.

Brook is a little better. After Luke's guidance and training, both his swordsmanship and overall quality have been greatly improved, but he is just a little embarrassed.

Moreover, he was strengthened by the power of munch-munch fruit.

His bones are comparable to memory alloys, and ordinary swords and bullets cannot leave a mark on his bone at all.

But Hogback, who was slightly less powerful, was in ragged clothes.

There were many wounds on the body.

"Whoosh!"

There was a flash of lightning, and Wyper appeared behind Luke instantly.

However, he hasn't taken action yet, but Luke seemed to predict his movement.

"Finger Pistol!" The slender right index finger was wrapped around by Armament Haki, and it tore the air apart like lightning as it shot out.

At the same time, Luke's eyes narrowed, and his head suddenly turned to one side.

Once again, he dodged several rounds of invisible bullets that suddenly struck him.

"Bang!"

Wyper's hair stood on end, and his whole body turned into lightning, and he retreated violently, barely escaping the brutal attack.

At the same time, not to be outdone, he launched another fierce attack.

"Lightning Kick!"

With the speed of lightning and carrying astonishing power, his foot came towards Luke's head.

It's so fast that the naked eye can't capture it.

 "Boom!!"

But with the help of his powerful Observation Haki, Luke was able to keep up; he wrapped his arms with Armament Haki and punched hard.

"What?" 

Wyper's face changed color in shock as he felt the exaggerated power in his foot. In an instant, he turned into dazzling lightning as he retreated.

"Boom..."

The strong electric light disappeared in a flash.

The ground in the distance collapsed, and smoke filled the air.

With his swift movement, the attack was dodged, and Wyper's whole body flashed out.

"Brush..."

The next moment, Luke suddenly moves to the side, and his Observation Haki directly locks onto Van Augur's aura.

Although the ability of the Clear-Clear Fruit is indeed very powerful, even an ordinary strong person with Observation Haki cannot easily lock on to Van Augur, who deliberately distanced himself and kept moving quickly.

But Luke is a person who is born with observation Haki.

His Observation Haki can easily cover an island, and even any changes around him cannot escape his detection.

He completely restrained Van Augur's invisibility ability.

"Flying Finger Pistol!"

With a flick of his fingers, several compressed air shock waves shot out of the air.

He shot in Van Augur's location.

"Negative Ghost!!"

A large number of Negative Ghosts came over one after another.

Perona controlled them from a distance and made them pursue Luke relentlessly.

"Gavotte: Leap Forward!"

At the same time, a cold light flashed.

Brook stepped hard, drew his sword, and swung at extremely fast speed.

"Shave!"

Brook's vision blurred, and an afterimage passed in front of him.

Luke, with incredible speed, not only dodges those annoying Negative Ghosts, but he also easily dodges Brook's attack.

"Tempest Kick: Riot!" In an instant, Luke, who had distanced himself, launched a fierce counterattack.

His legs kept tearing apart the air as he kicked out violently.

"Whoosh..." One air blade came one after another in succession.

Brook and Perona were shocked.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

At this time, lightning flashed as Wyper rushed back from the distance.

His whole body was flashing with astonishing lightning, which made people feel frightened.

"What a terrifying power..." The right foot that had fought with Luke before was trembling unnaturally.

Before Luke could attack him, he already launched an attack again without hesitation: 

"Sixty Million Volts: Thunder Dragon!"

"Roar..."

The electric light flickers.

A giant dragon comes to life.

Baring his teeth and claws, he charges towards Luke.

It blasted over.

"Haha... Tempest Kick: Line!"

Luke's expression remained unchanged.

With one step of his foot, he advanced instead of retreating and rushed out.

His right foot instantly tore through the air and kicked out a dazzling slash.

"Wha—" The huge and dazzling air blade was so sharp that it shot through the air in an instant.

It collided hard with the incoming thunderdragon.

"Boom boom..."

"One hundred million volts..." Wyper's eyes flashed, and he was about to attack with all his strength.

"Death Razor!"

However, in an instant, an extremely fast attack breaks through the air.

Wyper's pupils shrank sharply, and his hair stood on end.

But it was too late to dodge.

"Chi..." He felt a blur in front of his eyes, and before he had time to react, his head was already decapitated.

But with wisps of lightning, his severed head attached itself back to his neck.

"Hiss..." Wyper was dripping with cold sweat and couldn't help but gasp.

If Luke had used Armament Haki just now, his head and body would really separate.
