Pirates of the Peak

Chapter 1164 Baseball Maz

Maz, who had been sent flying by that brutal slap, was still shaken—he had clearly seen that the giant that the Straw Hat Pirates had transformed into was not the clumsy and slow giant he usually was.

Even though its body has grown to its current size, the trembling of every muscle and the movement of every limb are still perfectly synchronized with the agility and speed of its original body, without the slightest sluggishness.

Therefore, he dared not approach rashly, but hovered and circled in the airspace that Luffy's steel-like long arms could not reach, his wings flapping to create a strong wind.

Immediately afterwards, the sharp beak filled with fangs opened wide, a low rumble rolled through its throat, and the next instant, a huge pillar of fire carrying an aura of destruction burst forth. The crimson flames tore through the air, accompanied by a piercing shriek, heading straight for Luffy's beating heart in his chest!

"Wow! A lightsaber?"

Upon seeing the incoming beam of flame, Luffy showed no alarm or sense of danger; instead, he seemed to have discovered something amusing.

Looking at the beam of flame hurtling towards him, Luffy showed no sign of wariness or danger. Instead, his eyes lit up, like a child who had discovered a new and exciting toy.

He didn't even make any obvious movements, yet the invisible energy field around him had already subtly altered the surrounding environment.

The once unstoppable pillar of flames paused for a moment upon touching the field, and then an inexplicable change occurred—the raging flames seemed to be tamed by an invisible hand, and the rampant flames suddenly subsided.

Luffy raised his hand and grabbed the pillar of flame that was just touching his chest. The position where his five fingers gripped it was just like holding the hilt of a lightsaber.

The scorching flames surged against his palm, yet not a single spark touched his skin. The beam of light was so solid it was like a physical object, neither deformed nor scattered.

He grinned, and with a sudden burst of strength, he pulled the entire pillar of flame out of Maz's beak as if he were breaking off a sugarcane. Then, with a flick of his wrist, he swung his arm out in a wide arc!

"Oh!"

A dull bang shook the sky. Maz, struck hard by the pillar of fire, was sent flying like a baseball bat, turning into a blurry black shadow. He screamed again as he flew backward, smashing several floating boulders along the way.

In fact, Luffy has used this move many times. The first time he used it was on Onigashima in Wano Country, when he caught the lightning that Kaido had summoned and used it as his weapon.

This is what makes Nika's ability so extraordinary. After awakening his Devil Fruit, he not only possesses all the characteristics of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, but also the ability to influence the surrounding environment, which is characteristic of a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit!

Even natural energy without physical properties can be materialized into a physical form by his ability, just like Kaido's lightning and his current flames, which is truly abnormal.

"Hahahaha! This is so much fun!"

Luffy's desire for a lightsaber was unsuccessful because the lightsaber's blade is in plasma form, with temperatures reaching several thousand degrees Celsius, giving it powerful cutting capabilities!

If it were a real lightsaber, that single strike to Maz would have sliced ​​him in two.

Although Maz's flame beam is also quite hot, it is still far inferior to the plasma blade of a lightsaber. If Ace were to set fire to it, it might achieve the same effect as a lightsaber.

One is fire, the other is laser plasma; they are not even in the same field. Therefore, Luffy, being illiterate, is destined not to get what he wants!

However, he didn't really care. Being able to play baseball was pretty good too.

After knocking Maz away, Luffy looked down at his feet and his eyes lit up instantly. The original demons had recovered from their injuries.

He stomped down, stepping on half of a primal demon's body. Because only half of its body was stepped on, the primal demon's body was subjected to uneven force, and its entire body began to spin rapidly in the direction of the force. Combined with the reaction force from the ground, it bounced directly off the ground while spinning, which was exactly what Luffy wanted.

"go with!"

Once the original demon had reached a certain height, Luffy, holding the pillar of flame with both hands, was thrown out from behind with a whistling sound.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the primal demon was sent flying like a cannonball, leaving a trail of blood droplets in its wake.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Four loud explosions followed, and all four primordial demons were sent flying, crashing into a mountain peak. The entire mountain collapsed, burying the demons inside!

"Hahahaha! This is so much fun!"

After Luffy knocked Maz and the original demons away, he waved his flame beams a few more times in place, as if he felt there weren't enough original demons to satisfy his urge to fight.

Maz, who was the first to be knocked away, has flown back again, but he did not rashly attack Luffy, fearing that he would be killed by Luffy alone, which would be too much of a loss.

"Straw Hat Boy! What is it that makes you want to go against the World Government?"

Although Maz didn't attack, he wasn't idle either. He started chatting idly to distract Luffy.

In his view, the Straw Hat Boy was much easier to fool than Viktor and Dragon. Even if he couldn't turn him to defect, he could at least buy some time.

"Of course it's for freedom! I used to think that becoming the Pirate King would give me complete freedom, but as soon as I came back from Laugh Tale, the World Government came knocking on my door!"

I didn't pay much attention to Joy Boy's words of wisdom at first, I just wanted to be a free person, but I found that the greatest lack of freedom is the existence of your world government!

And the harm you've done to Robin, and to so many others, is unforgivable. Since no one wants you to continue existing, then let you disappear!

Luffy did think that way at first. Joy Boy's era was too far removed from his own, and all he wanted was freedom. He believed that he had no irreconcilable conflicts with the World Government and that there was no need for him to get involved!

He didn't care, but the World Government wanted to kill him and his companions. There was no way he could escape anymore. The only way to solve the problem once and for all was to defeat the World Government head-on. In addition, Robin had already spoken up, so he had to seek justice for his companions!

"You mean, we forced this out of us?"

Maz was somewhat incredulous, but it was precisely because of the current unfavorable situation that he was trying to think about the problem from a different perspective.

Before it all began, he wouldn't have had such thoughts. He would have arrogantly thought, "So what if we forced this? What can you do to me? This world is meant to be taken and plundered by us. This is the trend of the times. We lowly commoners just have to endure it!"

Luffy didn't answer Maz's question; it was no longer necessary. The four original demons had already pushed aside the rubble and returned to the battlefield, their injuries fully healed. Now, Luffy was ready to end this battle once and for all.

"Rubber Flame Javelins!"

Luffy stopped fooling around and threw his lightsaber like a javelin!

The pillar of flame tore through the air with a whistling boom, carrying an unstoppable momentum, instantly traversing a distance of over a hundred meters, and piercing through the chest of a primordial demon!

The next instant, a pillar of fire exploded directly inside the primal demon's body, while flames outside the body surrounded the primal demon!

The fire raged fiercely, and the primal demon let out painful screams, twisting its body incessantly, trying to shake off the flames. Unfortunately, the external wounds were only external; the real damage was erupting inside its body!
