60: Chapter 60 Victory! A Swift and Decisive StrikeHe held onto the cross stuck in the ground with one hand, picked at his ear with his little finger with the other, then grinned at Monka, revealing a row of gleaming white teeth:
"Oh!I'm Monkey D.Luffy!Nice to meet you!"
This dismissive response was like the last spark that ignited a powder keg!
"Prepare to die—Straw Hat Brat—!"
Morgan roared in fury, his massive body unleashing astonishing power as he leaped into the air, wielding his giant axe with the force to split mountains and shatter rocks, and brought it down on Luffy's head!
The axe blade tore through the air, emitting a piercing shriek!
Luffy's eyes sharpened, and instead of retreating, he took a step forward!
"Hey!"
He pressed down hard on the cross with his hand, and using the reaction force, his body bounced upward like a light rubber ball!
He skillfully circled the massive cross, his movements as fluid as a dance, and in an instant he was behind Monka!
"BOOM—!"
The hard ground was cleaved open like tofu, sending rubble flying everywhere!
Now!
"Rubber.stamp—!"
Luffy's right leg lashed out backward like a whip, the elasticity of the rubber giving the kick terrifying speed and power, striking Morgan's unsuspecting head with perfect accuracy!
A muffled thud!
Monka's forward momentum came to an abrupt halt.His massive body, like a puppet with its strings cut, fell straight forward and crashed heavily to the ground with a "thud," landing face down with a mouthful of mud!
The heavy giant axe was also dragged along by the body and flew, crashing to the ground not far away.
The entire training ground fell into dead silence once again.
The naval soldiers stared in disbelief at the scene before them—their Captain Morgan, whom they considered as powerful and invincible as a demon…
He actually got kicked to the ground by a seemingly silly straw-hatted kid?
"The.the colonel was actually."
Monka struggled to lift his head, his face covered in mud and blood from his nose, his eyes filled with madness and humiliation.
"You wretched straw hat brat—die—!"
He roared, raised his right hand with the giant axe, and with all his might, swung it down at Luffy!
"No way!" Luffy's voice carried a hint of mockery.
The moment Morgan raised his giant axe, leaving his defenses wide open, Luffy moved!
He gripped the base of the cross stuck in the ground with both hands, leaned back slightly, and his rubber arms gave him an extremely long attack range and explosive power!
"Rubber.spear—!"
The massive base of the cross, like a battering ram, struck with terrifying force, piercing Monka's abdomen with a deafening roar!
"Ughh .
Monka's eyes bulged out instantly, as if they were about to jump out of their sockets!
An unimaginable force pierced through his proud muscles, and his internal organs seemed to be displaced by the impact!
His massive body was as if it had been hit by a high-speed train, arching into an exaggerated shrimp shape.His feet left the ground, and he flew backward like a cannonball, crashing into a section of the wall with a "boom" and being buried half of his body by the rubble!
"Colonel Monka.was actually.utterly crushed?"
The naval soldiers were completely petrified, their worldviews suffering a devastating blow.
The tyrant who was invincible in their eyes was like a clumsy punching bag in front of that straw hat boy!
Luffy dragged the heavy cross step by step toward Morgan, who was buried under rubble and struggling to get up.
He recalled the gleam in Coby's eyes when he talked about his dreams on the ship, and a surge of anger welled up inside him: "Hey!Big guy!Who do you think you are in the Navy!"
For the first time, Luffy's voice carried a chilling rage, "How dare you ruin Coby's dream, which is so important to him?"
Just then, Luffy caught a glimpse of a furtive figure out of the corner of his eye—Helmeppo, his face bruised and swollen.
While everyone's attention was on his father, he stealthily crept toward Koby, who was standing not far away, with a ferocious expression on his face.His right hand was hidden behind his back, clearly holding something!
"Hello!"
Luffy abruptly turned the cross around, the massive wooden stake pointing at Helmeppo like a compass rose, and shouted, "What do you think you're doing?"
Startled by the sudden question, Helmeppo instinctively raised his hands when he met Luffy's cold gaze: "N-nothing.I didn't mean anything."
However, his frantically raised right hand gave him away—a small but deadly flintlock pistol was clearly in his hand!
"snort!"
Luffy snorted coldly and suddenly exerted force in his arm!
"puff--!"
The end of the cross, like a pestle for pounding garlic, slammed solidly into Bellumeber's face!
"Wow--!"
Helmeppo could only manage half a scream before his face was smashed flat and deformed, his nose broke, and his teeth, mixed with blood, gushed out.He rolled his eyes back and passed out.
Luffy casually swatted away a fly, and the cross shifted again, aiming at Morgan, who had just struggled out of the rubble and was clutching his throbbing abdomen.
"Hey!I haven't even let you stand up yet!" Luffy said, sweeping out the cross in his hand like a giant baseball bat!
"Bang—!" Another muffled thud!
Monka was sent flying like a baseball being hit, screaming as he crashed back into the ruins!
Luffy dragged the cross to the dying Morgan, looking at the tyrant who had brought endless suffering to the town.
He took a deep breath, his arm muscles bulging, and raised the massive cross high, aiming it at Morgan's head: "This strike.is for Zoro and everyone—!"
The moment he finished speaking, Luffy used all his strength to slam the heavy base of the cross down!
"Thump—!"
A deafening sound, like the pounding of a broken drum!
Colonel Monca's head slammed into the ground.His body instantly caved in and deformed.Without even uttering a sound, his eyes rolled back, and he completely lost consciousness.
On the training ground, only the sound of the heavy crosses embedding themselves deeply into the ground echoed.
Luffy took a breath, lifted the cross with all his might, and inserted it back into its original position.
He clapped his hands, turned to look at Zoro, who was still tied to the cross, foaming at the mouth, his eyes rolling around, clearly unconscious from the fierce battle just now, and a hearty smile appeared on his face:
"Hey!Zoro!How's it going?First time fighting side by side, feels pretty good, right?Hehe!"
The only response he received was Zoro's faint gagging and Coby's speechless expression beside him.
At this moment, all the naval soldiers seemed to wake up from a dream.
They stared at the unconscious Monka father and son amidst the ruins and the giant axe that symbolized tyranny; their former arrogant and domineering voices still echoed in their ears…
