Chapter 1328: Can You See Your Own Death Clearly?
As Kuro extended his hand, a massive barrage of Weapons erupted like a Bullet Hell from behind him. Bright and jet-black light filled the sky, converging into a sharp point like a colossal sword aimed directly at the charging Luffy.
Luffy sprinted forward, stretching his arms far behind him. He locked eyes on the incoming Weapon Bullet Hell, his fists becoming afterimages as they rocketed toward the enemy.
"Gomu Gomu·Machine Gun!"
Fists imbued with Armament Haki smashed into the onslaught. Sparks flew as the Weapons clashed against his strikes, shattering and scattering in all directions. The ground quaked as shattered Weapons pierced the earth, creating a graveyard of blades before Luffy.
"Aaargh!"
Roaring, Luffy charged ahead, his fists batting away the endless barrage. But the sheer number of Weapons overwhelmed him—many slipped past his defense, striking directly at his body.
He leapt skyward, inhaling deeply as his body inflated into a massive, jet-black-armored balloon.
"Gomu Gomu·Thank-You Cannon!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Weapons slammed into his elastic body, ricocheting backward to collide with the incoming barrage.
"Nice use of Elasticity", Kuro muttered, his five fingers twitching to halt the attack.
Whoosh!
A deflected Weapon zipped past Kuro, grazing his cheek and snipping a strand of hair. Luffy deflated, landing lightly on his feet and flashing a grin at the execution platform. "Heh!"
Kuro's eyes narrowed. "Luffy, you seem confident. But no one's here to help you this time. You don't actually think you can defeat the Four Emperors and Admirals alone, do you?"
Boom!
Luffy planted his feet in a horse stance, exhaling a wisp of aura from his nose. "I'll definitely beat you, Incense Burner!"
Golden light descended from the sky, landing in Kuro's hand—a long strip of gold unraveling to reveal a hilt.
"Reveal my might."
Kuro gripped the hilt, swung it forward, and the remaining gold sheathing exploded into Golden Powder. The blade emerged, gleaming with a clear, deadly edge.
"Yokai Blade!"
Whoosh!
As he shouted, his body blurred into motion, an afterimage pouncing like a tiger from the platform.
The downward slash transformed the blade into a blood-red streak, cleaving toward Luffy's head. Luffy's fist, glowing with red Haki like trailing light, met it head-on.
Boom!!
The clash froze in the center, erupting into an explosive shockwave. Lightning-like energy and Killing Intent surged, darkening the sky and suffocating the plaza with oppressive aura. Combatants froze mid-fight, their movements faltering—some pirates collapsed, eyes rolling back.
Crackling...
The air trembled around the collision point, rubble floating and shattering.
Kuro pressed down with the Yokai Blade, the Haki barrier making the blade vibrate. Luffy strained forward, his fist cracking under the pressure.
Bang!
He stomped, shattering the emerging stone spikes. His fist surged forward, the Haki-driven elasticity sending Kuro's blade bouncing upward.
"Pistol!"
As the blade deflected, Luffy's fist shot forward, but Kuro's body rippled like water, becoming an afterimage. Luffy's pupils contracted. Before the afterimage vanished, a moonlight-fast slash arced toward his head.
Kuro reappeared behind him, blade swinging downward. But Luffy twisted mid-air, evading the slash. He kicked both legs together, stretching them to strike.
"Gomu Gomu·Seal!"
Kuro dodged the legs, but they coiled mid-air like a thick braid, lashing out unexpectedly.
"Rotating Whip!!"
The legs slammed into Kuro's face. The elastic force sent him staggering backward. Luffy landed, half-crouching, grinning. "Can you see the future?"
Kuro stared at his left hand, smirking. He swung the Yokai Blade outward. "Then can you see your own death clearly, Luffy? Lion·True·Thousand Cutting Valleys!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless black-red slashes with golden edges rained down. Luffy dodged frantically, eventually shielding his face with his arms. The slashes struck, sounding like thunder against an elastic object, rebounding harmlessly.
"Heh, I—" Luffy began, but froze. A vision flashed—a blade slicing toward him. Before he could react, the vision materialized. A cold breeze brushed his neck, then a blade appeared at his shoulder.
Luffy's eyes widened. He twisted his body, shifting the strike from neck to shoulder. Blood sprayed.
Kuro appeared behind him, Yokai Blade raised. "You dodged my White Tiger Kill?"
A gash split Luffy's shoulder, blood spilling. (End of Chapter)
