Chapter 93: Infinite Firepower Mode
Boom! As Luo Han created a massive crater from high in the sky with a single punch, everyone on the island felt the tremor.
On the other side of the split island, members of the Rocks Pirates and Tucker's crew looked up at Luo Han with awe in their eyes. This was the man who had just overpowered Rayleigh, the Dark King, and left him defenseless. Now, with one strike, he had blasted a meteor-sized crater into the island.
And even surrounded by members of the Roger Pirates, Luo Han remained completely calm.
…
"Rayleigh, that brat's too high up. We can't get to him easily," said Jabber, having broken away from Sister Shao. He looked up at Luo Han in frustration.
Rayleigh didn't respond immediately. He focused on observing the massive spherical cluster of floating stone behind Luo Han, recalling the moment when he had punched to release an attack.
"Let's spread out first. We'll observe whether each punch can only release one shot. Then we try to destroy that thing behind him."
"Once we do that, we'll force him down to fight close-range. His movement speed may be high, but with enough Observation Haki users, we should be able to react and counterattack. We need at least three people. Otherwise, we're just sitting ducks."
Rayleigh quickly shared his plan with Jabber.
Jabber didn't hesitate. "Got it."
The two split up, circling the crater to alert the others and look for an opportunity to launch slash waves at Luo Han's floating cluster of telekinetic stones.
"Heh. Naïve," Luo Han sneered, floating above. With his spiritual sense active, he had heard every word of Rayleigh's plan.
"So… you want to test how many attacks I can unleash per punch? Try to destroy my floating sphere? Cute."
"Now, let me show you what a mage with infinite mana can really do."
Grinning, he raised his right fist. Instantly, three giant serpentine telekinetic stone streams emerged from the floating sphere.
Zzzhhmm! As he punched downward, the three streams fell like meteorites, each aimed at a target locked by his spiritual sense.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Three more craters erupted across the island. None hit directly, but the shockwaves alone were enough to force everyone back.
Rayleigh, having just found the one-armed swordsman to prepare an ambush, looked at the three new craters forming around them. His eye twitched. "This just got harder. Everyone, stay alert!"
The Roger Pirates began to move erratically along the ground beneath Luo Han, trying to stay out of line-of-fire and looking for a chance to use Moonwalk-style techniques to reach him.
"Every single one of them is an elite… All of them have high-level Observation Haki. My ranged attacks won't land easily," Luo Han thought with a sigh.
But he wasn't discouraged. Today was about testing his new combat style—finding what suited him best.
"So let's start with Infinite Firepower Mode," he said with a smile.
He raised both fists. Ten massive stone serpents appeared behind him. Then with a double punch, Zzzzhhmm! ten red-hot beams shot downward.
BOOM!!! Ten new craters appeared, each a hundred meters wide.
Rayleigh and the others abandoned any thoughts of attacking. They were too busy dodging the relentless barrage. Climbing into the sky now was suicide—air mobility couldn't match ground movement, and they'd become easy targets.
The battle became a solo performance. Neither the slashes of Rayleigh and Jabber nor the aerial charges of the Fish-Man brute and other close-combat specialists could get close. Luo Han's attacks simply overwhelmed them.
With just himself, Luo Han had stalled the entire Roger Pirates crew—except Roger himself. Even the ones who stayed behind to guard the ship had joined the fray but were now in full retreat under the never-ending barrage.
Cole and Sister Shao had already regrouped with Tucker's group. Now Luo Han alone stood against the entire Roger Pirates crew.
And this state lasted until nightfall.
…
Boom! Boom! Boom! From the ship, Sister Shao stared in shock at the red meteor shower lighting up the island and sky. Even the night was flushed crimson under the blazing hail.
"This level of attack… It's lasted the entire day… and there's still no sign of stopping. That stamina is terrifying."
Standing at the bow, she furrowed her brow. "What the heck? He powers up for one night, sits by the sea in the morning, and suddenly he's this strong? No training process at all?"
Behind her, Tucker trembled as he watched the massive craters inch closer to their location. He whispered to Cole, "Um, Boss Cole… maybe we should move the ship back?"
Before Cole could reply, Sister Shao interjected, "Let's go. This battle is beyond our ability to join."
Cole scratched his head and turned to Tucker. "Listen to Sister Shao."
"Got it!" Tucker immediately sprang into action.
They all boarded the ship and sailed it two kilometers away from the island. Turning back, they saw hundreds of red meteors raining from above as boom boom boom boom echoed nonstop.
Elsewhere, on the other side of the island, Whitebeard and Roger's battle continued. The space around them shattered like broken glass as slash waves rang out like a violent piano sonata, reverberating across the island.
Their fight, too, had lasted into the deep night. The full moon now hung overhead, but neither side had any intention of stopping.
…
Clang! Crack! Another clash of blade and quake-punch. Roger and Whitebeard's attacks split the land around them into deep ravines, glowing under the moonlight.
The crisscrossing gashes were a testament to Roger's ferocious slash waves.
"Roger, seems like your little revenge plan has been… completely dismantled," Whitebeard chuckled.
Roger frowned. Clang! He pushed Whitebeard away. Both retreated fifty meters.
He looked toward the other side of the island. Despite the distance, Roger could clearly see it—red meteors endlessly falling from the sky, illuminating everything in red. That same high-intensity barrage had not stopped since noon.
"What stamina…" Roger muttered. Then he looked back at Whitebeard.
"Haha! Newgate, I trust Rayleigh and the others can handle it!" He was aware they were struggling—but he still had faith in his crew.
"I trust that Luo Han kid won't lose," Whitebeard replied coolly. As long as Roger was stuck here, Luo Han would be fine. With his current strength and speed, few could do anything to him.
Then the two resumed fighting again.
…
Meanwhile, Rayleigh and his team weren't in real danger—but they were exhausted. They had realized that Luo Han's attacks, while fast and powerful, could still be dodged with high-level Observation Haki.
But something else was far more terrifying.
"Is that kid even human?! He's been attacking non-stop, at this intensity, for an entire day—and he hasn't even slowed down!" Jabber leaned against Rayleigh, his breathing ragged, pointing at Luo Han in disbelief.
"I don't know… But the intel claiming he had average physical talent? That's complete nonsense. His stamina is off the charts," Rayleigh said, eyes gleaming. "And I think he's hiding something."
"Hiding something?" Jabber asked, confused—then flinched as more meteor-like attacks rained down. "Here we go again…"
They both dodged, but then—for the first time—the battlefield went quiet.
Looking up at Luo Han, Rayleigh frowned. He didn't look tired. So what was he planning now?
"Stay alert! That brat's probably cooking up something new!" Rayleigh warned everyone.
