Chapter 167 Physical Clash
East of Plaza 3, the ruins of a building complex.
Uvogin's metal beam, imbued with immense power, crashed down on Doberman and Onigumo with a piercing shriek that tore through the air!
This strike was devoid of any fancy moves; it was purely a display of power and speed, enough to break a small warship in half!
However, faced with such a terrifying attack, Lieutenant General Doberman's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and instead of retreating, he advanced!
He let out a low growl, and the muscles in his right arm bulged out. Deep black Armament Haki instantly wrapped around and hardened his entire forearm and half of his body, as if he were covered with an indestructible black armor!
"Iron Body, Steel Bones!"
"BOOM—!!!"
The pillar, imbued with Uvogin's monstrous strength, clashed violently with Doberman's iron fist, which was covered in Armament Haki!
The deafening roar was like a thunderclap from a clear sky! Centered on the point of impact, a violent shockwave exploded outwards in a ring, completely collapsing the already crumbling ruins and leaving the ground cracked with spiderweb-like craters!
The metal beam twisted and deformed the moment it came into contact with the metal beam, then broke apart piece by piece, scattering fragments everywhere!
The ground beneath Doberman's feet suddenly caved in half a foot, but his massive body remained rooted to the spot, unmoved!
Having withstood Uvogin's ferocious attack head-on, his Armament Haki only fluctuated slightly, and his fist didn't even crack!
"Hey! Interesting!" Uvogin shook his slightly numb wrist, his eyes burning with even more fighting spirit. He grinned broadly, "Finally, someone who can fight!"
Although his attack was powerful, he did not use his true killing move or Devil Fruit ability; it was merely a test.
The powerful Armament Haki and physical strength that Doberman displayed completely excited him.
"Arrogant pirate!" Doberman's voice was icy as he cracked his fist. "Your strength is nothing special. Now, it's my turn!"
Before he finished speaking, Doberman suddenly pushed off with his feet, his figure turning into a black afterimage, instantly covering a distance of more than ten meters. His fist, covered with top-level Armament Haki, was like a cannonball, heading straight for Uvogin's face!
This punch was faster and more concentrated, and the force of the punch compressed the air, creating a piercing sonic boom!
Uvogin neither dodged nor avoided, but instead his eyes blazed with a fanatical fire.
Instead of using his Nen ability to defend, he let out a low growl, a dark glint of light emanating from beneath his bronze skin, and raised his fist, as big as a casserole dish, to meet the attack head-on!
"Super Destructive Fist!"
"Bang-!!!"
The fists collided again! This time the sound was even deeper and heavier, like two mountains colliding!
The more solid shockwave spread out, kicking up all the rubble and dust on the ground!
The ground beneath Uvogin's feet cracked again, and he slid back dozens of meters. Doberman also leaned back slightly, but quickly regained his balance.
"That was great! Again!" Uvogin roared and launched an attack.
He abandoned all techniques and used only the most primal and ferocious power and speed to unleash a barrage of punches at Doberman, like two battering sledgehammers!
Each punch contained terrifying power that could split mountains and shatter rocks, and the wind from the punches made the air howl!
Doberman's expression was serious, showing no sign of backing down.
He also pushed his Armament Haki to its limit, covering his fists, arms, and even vital areas of his chest and abdomen with a deep black sheen. Based on the Navy's Six Powers "Iron Body," he combined his own honed physical skills and Haki to engage in a head-on clash with Uvogin!
The muffled thuds of fists and feet colliding sounded like the beating of war drums, never ceasing!
The two figures moved and collided at high speed through the ruins. Wherever they passed, walls crumbled and the ground cracked, as if two humanoid beasts were fighting to the death!
"Your domineering aura is not enough!"
After exchanging dozens of blows, Doberman suddenly seized a tiny gap in Uvogin's power connection, and his elbow, covered in Armament Haki, slammed into Uvogin's ribs like a venomous dragon emerging from its lair!
This strike was swift, ruthless, and executed from a tricky angle!
"Pfft!" Uvogin took a solid hit, a sharp pain shot through his ribs, he groaned, staggered backward, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"Hmph, a vice admiral, indeed, is far superior to those small fry."
Uvogin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes showing no fear but instead gleaming with an even more dangerous light. "But—you think this is all the power I have?!"
He took a deep breath, and his already incredibly strong body swelled up even more!
The veins on his skin bulged out like writhing dragons, and an even more ferocious and primal aura rose from his body!
"Cause and Effect Fruit - Ability Activated"
Suddenly, the rib wounds on Uvogin's body, which had been bruised and showed signs of fractures from being hit by Doberman, began to emit an eerie dark red light!
At the same time, the degree of muscle tension in his body increased further, and his overall aura suddenly rose to a new level!
Physical functions and strength will experience a significant increase in a short period of time!
"roar-!!!"
Uvogin let out a roar that sounded inhuman, his eyes faintly turning red.
With a stomp of his foot, the ground exploded into a huge crater, and his speed was nearly twice as fast as before!
Almost instantly, he reappeared in front of Doberman, pulling his right fist back, his arm muscles bulging to their limit, and dark red domineering aura and violent Nen energy frantically converging!
"Super Destructive Fist: Titan Strike!!!"
This punch was far more powerful than any before!
Before the fist even arrived, the extreme pressure of the compressed fist already made Doberman feel a stinging pain on his face, and the surrounding air was forcibly pushed out, forming a brief vacuum!
Doberman's pupils constricted sharply! He sensed a deadly threat from that punch!
Without a second thought, he roared, channeling all the Armament Haki he had honed throughout his life into his arms, crossing them in front of his chest. At the same time, he planted his feet firmly on the ground, shouting, "Iron Body - Void!"
"boom!!!!!!!"
This collision was like a meteorite hitting the earth!
The shockwave from the explosion, several times more powerful than before, spread out in a hemispherical shape, instantly leveling all remaining building structures within a radius of nearly 100 meters. The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.
At the epicenter of the explosion, a crater more than 20 meters in diameter was clearly visible.
At the edge of the deep pit, Vice Admiral Doberman crossed his arms, maintaining a defensive posture. However, his navy coat was tattered, and the Armament Haki on his arms flickered violently. Blood also spilled from the corner of his mouth, and two deep trenches were formed beneath his feet.
For the first time, his face showed an extremely solemn expression, even a hint of disbelief.
In the center of the deep pit, Uvogin, still in his punching stance, slowly straightened his body.
His upper body was completely shredded, revealing steel-like muscles and numerous tiny cracks on his skin, but the wildness and fighting spirit in his eyes burned to the extreme!
The dark red light shone even brighter on his injured ribs, as if flames were burning within them, providing him with a continuous source of power!
"Hahahaha!!!" Uvogin roared with laughter, his voice echoing across the battlefield. "That was awesome! This is real fighting! Vice Admiral, your fists are hard enough! Come on! Let's see if I can beat you down today!!"
The more injured he was, the stronger he became! At this moment, in the state of "cause and effect reversal", his aura actually subtly overwhelmed the slightly disheveled Doberman!
