Chapter 198 Luffy Is Running Out of Energy!

"Haki, what exactly is Haki?"

At this moment, Luffy, who was firmly locked by Xiao, felt that his whole body was shaking involuntarily, as if countless invisible hands were pinching his body, making him unable to move at all.

What's more terrifying is that a strong and suffocating shadow of death is weighing heavily on his heart and body, as heavy as a mountain.

Luffy's weak observation Haki can clearly feel that Xiao's current attack is completely different from the previous two.

If he is unfortunately hit, the consequences will be unimaginable, and he may really die.

So, he must learn the Armament Haki that the other party said, only in this way can he save his life!

"Third base~~"

With Xiao's angry shout, another equally terrifying Haki attack came like a tide.

Luffy's brain was working rapidly, desperately recalling the feeling of being attacked the first two times.

Just as the baseball bat was about to hit him, a thin layer of Armament Haki suddenly emerged from his body and quickly covered his head.

Boom——

Like a morning bell, the deafening sound of the collision resounded throughout the venue, and Luffy actually blocked the fatal blow with his head!

And this time, he was not knocked out like before, but stood firmly in place, with a firm and unyielding light in his eyes.

"Incredible, you really learned it!"

Seeing this scene in front of him, Xiao said in astonishment.

He could never have imagined that Luffy could comprehend the true meaning of Armament Haki in such a short time and successfully apply it in actual combat.

Xiao's smile became brighter and brighter, as if he saw a bright pearl rising slowly.

Luffy's potential can be continuously stimulated in such frequent and cruel life and death tests, which is really amazing!

Luffy has understood the secret of Armament Haki after only three sticks. Xiao is very proud of his teaching results. He is no worse than Teacher Kai.

Xiao looked at Luffy in front of him firmly and said in a serious tone:

"But learning Armament Haki is just the beginning. Next, I will continue to increase the strength of Haki. You only have 10 seconds to improve yourself. If you can't keep up with my pace, then only death awaits you!"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao began to gather strength again, and his whole body exuded a palpitating breath.

At the same time, he began to count down: "10..."

"Get out~"

Faced with Xiao's oppression and threats, Luffy couldn't help but feel angry.

At this moment, Ace was about to face execution. The originally agreed time had not yet arrived, but the execution was inexplicably advanced.

Thinking of this, Luffy was anxious and roared angrily: "Damn it! I have already learned it, why are you stopping me!"

As Xiao continued to count down, Luffy became more and more anxious.

Finally, he could no longer bear it and tried to break through Xiao's defense.

But no matter how he ran and dodged, Xiao always appeared in front of him like a ghost, blocking his way forward.

When Xiao counted to "1", his figure suddenly disappeared.

Then, the familiar baseball bat came with a sharp wind sound and fell on Luffy's head at lightning speed.

"Dang——"

There was a loud noise, and Luffy's head was severely injured. The whole person was smashed into the ground, leaving only half of his body exposed.

Despite such a heavy blow, Luffy still lived tenaciously, his eyes were full of unyielding and perseverance.

Luffy's growth rate kept up with his own improvement, and his armed color domineering was strengthened in the test.

"10"

A new round of tests kicked off. At the same time, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates on the other side could no longer suppress their anger.

You know, Luffy is a pioneer officer recognized by Whitebeard himself!

How could they be blocked here?

So, a group of pirates surged forward like a tide, surrounded Xiao, and tried to stop him from testing Luffy.

"Get out of my way, you bastard!"

Xiao roared, swinging his stick vigorously.

Every time he hit, a pirate screamed and turned into starlight and flew out.

However, in the face of such a fierce attack, the Whitebeard Pirates had no intention of retreating, and rushed to Xiao one after another, as if they were not afraid of death at all.

"Tsk! Faith fanatics, this is a tricky thing!!"

Xiao secretly choked in his heart, very unhappy.

He knew the state of mind of these pirates at this moment very well. Most of them were loyal followers of Whitebeard, and they could be said to be fanatical believers.

For the firm belief in their hearts and for the great leader Whitebeard, they were willing to give up their precious lives.

In fact, whether it is the mechanical priest or the earthly executor, to some extent, there are more or less such emotional factors similar to religious fanaticism at work.

As a high god, Xiao knows the believers who are in a state of religious fanaticism very well.

The stubbornness of never giving up easily no matter what difficulties they encounter and even sticking to their beliefs at all costs is really a headache.

Even if all these people are wiped out, it is probably difficult to shake their rock-solid beliefs.

Since there is no way to change it, then we will all be sharks. Xiao's baseball bat danced vigorously, and every time it fell, an unknown pirate would be sent away.

At the same time, Xiao's cold and ruthless countdown continued, falling on Luffy's head every 10 seconds without error.

Luffy gradually became exhausted from the initial calmness and began to become weak and powerless. This is normal. The essence of armed domineering is physical strength.

Luffy had just attacked the Undersea Prison. Although he led people out from inside, he was already seriously injured and had experienced a life-threatening poison resistance training.

Magellan, the warden of the Undersea Prison, is a superhuman poison-poison fruit ability user. The fierce poison he mastered bombarded Luffy in turns, causing dozens of mutations.

Originally, Luffy had long been incurable and could only die in pain and torture, but fortunately, the demon king Ivankov saved the scene in time and injected him with healing hormones, which consumed Luffy's 10 years of life to complete the antibody.

As a result, Luffy had just finished the treatment and didn't even have time to rest in order to save Ace. He immediately came to the Navy Headquarters. If it weren't for the stimulants, Luffy might not even be able to move his eyelids.

At this moment, his body was already exhausted, and Xiao repeatedly stimulated his armed color domineering. Luffy didn't die on the spot, which was already a blessing from fate.
