One Piece: I Start with a Married Woman, I Am the Evil Admiral!

Chapter 248 Chasing Luffy

Meanwhile, Enni thought to himself, "I'll see whether I'm the protagonist or Luffy becomes the protagonist!"

He was very confident about the current gap in strength between himself and Luffy.

He wondered to himself, "Could it be that, like in those theatrical versions where the so-called strong characters are defeated by the weak?"

Absolutely impossible!

With his current physique, even if he stands still without making any defensive moves, how could Luffy possibly break through his physical defenses with his current strength?

Don't even think about it!

Keep in mind that at this moment, Luffy was nothing more than a nobody who hadn't even mastered Armament Haki.

Thinking of this, Aini's sharply defined lips slowly curled upwards, forming a disdainful smile. This smile was like frost in winter, cold and chilling.

Suddenly, he shouted in a low voice, "Shave!"

The sound exploded in the air like thunder.

With that low growl, Aini's figure instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning, hurtling out at a speed beyond human comprehension. The speed was astonishing.

In the blink of an eye, it seemed as if Aini, who had been standing still, vanished without a trace in an instant. Even with the naked eye, it was difficult to discern the trajectory of his departure; it felt as magical as teleportation.

However, the next moment, when Enni reappeared, he had already successfully caught up with Luffy and Sanji, who were desperately running away.

At this moment, Luffy and Sanji were doing their best to escape Enni's pursuit, but they never expected that Enni would be so fast.

"not good!"

Luffy was the first to notice the strange aura coming from behind him. When he turned around and saw Enni's ghostly figure, his expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.

Sanji, standing to the side, was also completely pale, and a flash of terror, the kind that only appears when facing the threat of death, crossed his eyes.

It's worth noting that just recently, Enni easily defeated Eustace Kid, who was ranked above Mingfei, with a single move.

That bloody and cruel scene is still deeply imprinted in Sanji's mind, giving him the most direct understanding of Enni's terrifying strength.

Faced with such a powerful enemy, Sanji knew he had neither the ability nor the confidence to fight him. At this moment, his only thought was to escape this terrifying creature as quickly as possible, otherwise, they would likely face annihilation.

However, Enni merely glanced at Sanji casually.

This seemingly ordinary guy, who isn't a power user, actually plays a crucial role for Aini. Regardless of personal preference, self-interest comes first.

That's why Aini had absolutely no intention of taking his life.

Immediately afterwards, Enni's cold gaze, like lightning, locked onto Luffy's body.

In an instant, Luffy's eyes narrowed sharply, and a chill ran down his spine and straight to his head, making his scalp tingle. He felt as if he had become a pitiful prey being stared at by a ferocious beast.

"Rubber boomerang!"

Faced with this life-or-death moment, Luffy showed no sign of backing down.

After all, he has always been a passionate character who is courageous and fearless.

When he realized that there was no way out, he did not hesitate to fight back.

His movements were swift and lightning-fast. In the blink of an eye, he stretched his fist backward to its limit and then rapidly rotated his arm, twisting his once powerful arm like a pretzel.

In the blink of an eye, after completing this series of preparations, Luffy not only did not continue to flee, but instead charged towards Enni with overwhelming force.

With a roar, his fist, brimming with boundless power, hurtled towards Aini with a whooshing sound...

Ha ha!

Aini's lips curled up slightly, letting out a cold laugh full of disdain.

Although Luffy's strength is not to be underestimated, especially the attack he just used, its power was quite astonishing.

However, it all depends on the opponent.

Among the Supernovas, Luffy's performance is indeed top-notch. But unfortunately, compared to Enni, it's nothing more than childish and laughable play.

Enni slowly raised his right hand, his movements seemingly unhurried yet incredibly precise, to meet Luffy's incoming punch.

Just as the two were about to collide, time seemed to freeze, and everyone held their breath, watching the duel with bated breath.

What happened next left everyone speechless—Enni easily caught Luffy's full-force punch, and not only that, he also grabbed Luffy's fist tightly, giving him no chance to break free.

"shock!"

At this moment, Luffy's eyes widened involuntarily, his face filled with disbelief.

On one hand, he was shocked that Aini could so calmly block his all-out punch and catch him so quickly and accurately; on the other hand, he was even more shocked by the powerful strength Aini displayed.

The moment Luffy's fist was firmly grasped by Enni, his first reaction was to try to pull his arm back. However, no matter how hard he tried, Enni stood firmly in place like a towering, indestructible mountain, without moving an inch.

Not only could he not pull his hand back, he couldn't even budge Aini by the slightest.

"Gurgle..."

It was only then that the slow-witted Luffy truly realized the difference in strength between them.

However, Luffy is not one to give up easily.

The stronger the opponent, the more excited he becomes.

"Second gear!"

"Gear Second" is a unique technique of "Rubber Man." When activated, Luffy's skin turns bright red and emits steam, as if he has taken stimulants. Luffy uses his feet as pumps (after two years, he can use his hands) to accelerate blood flow and enhance his physical strength.

Features: Due to the unique nature of his Devil Fruit, Luffy can withstand the extremely high blood pressure brought about by Gear Second. His body, enhanced by Gear Second, allows for incredibly fast movements, enabling him to attack enemies without them even realizing it.

The extreme speed combined with the enhanced power makes the "Second Gear" attack much more powerful than the normal attack.

However, overuse of this technique would leave him completely exhausted and unable to move. According to Lucci's analysis, frequent use of Gear Second might shorten his lifespan. But two years later, Luffy was able to use Gear Second skillfully without the same level of fatigue.

In the later stages, this becomes a commonly used move, and also a regular move.

However, for Luffy in his current state, this is an extremely energy-consuming technique. Clearly, he's going to fight tooth and nail.
