"More More Geppo Hyakubai Soku (More More Moonwalk Hundredfold Speed)!!!"
A loud cry echoed, and a dark figure burst out from the fiery clouds, swiftly heading towards Atlas.
World is skilled in two physical techniques - and Soru.
Even though he has only grasped the basics and didn't master the associated advanced techniques, thanks to More-More fruit's multiplying abilities, he can easily overcome those advanced moves.
"Hey, aren't your skills in observation haki lacking?"
Atlas focused his gaze on the rapidly moving World, and suddenly, a red light gleamed in his eyes. The entire scene seemed to slow down, resembling a slow-motion movie.
Various images flashed in his mind - Future Vision!
"More More Hyakubai Panchi (More More Hundredfold Punch)!"
In an instant, World descended in front of Atlas at a frightening pace.
His fists, already clad in armament, resembled raindrops as they pummeled the target ahead. Each punch, intensified by a hundredfold speed, produced thunderous echoes in the air.
Just one of these punches could render Enel incapable of continuing the fight!
Swish, swish, swish!!!
Confronting this onslaught, Atlas's expression remained stoic, his eyes still flickering with the red light. His bones and muscles adapted like pliable clay to the fierce gusts from the rapid punches, and he maneuvered as best as he could.
"Kami-e Nenen (Paper Arts Slime)!"
Combined with Observation Haki, foreseeing the future, and the ultimate revival ability, Atlas nearly perfected this technique.
Incredible!
Witnessing this unfolding spectacle, World's eyes widened, a sense of injustice overwhelming him. He felt that all his strength amounted to nothing!
And then!
Suddenly, a muffled sound, countless sparks erupted, and black fists left their mark on the black and red chest.
Boom—!
Like sparks meeting the ground, waves of pressure rippled in all directions. The tremendous impact swiftly dented Atlas's chest before propelling him backward.
"It's still quite intense."
Atlas shook his head. Despite his exceptional bone and muscle density, he was ultimately made of flesh and blood.
In terms of sheer defense, he might not match up to Big Mom.
World's Haki-infused 100-speed punch dealt a powerful blow, undoubtedly causing injury.
However...
Atlas touched his now healed chest.
Perfectly intact.
Right after, a formidable pillar of flames erupted from behind, forcefully halting his rapid descent.
Swish—!
Before World could react, two laser beams shot out from Atlas's eyes, piercing towards his line of sight!
The attack covered everywhere his eyes could reach, making it exceptionally fast, no less than Kizaru's Yasakani no Magatama (Comma Jewel of Eight Shaku)!
"More More Hyakubai Panchi (More More Hundredfold Punch)!"
World clenched his teeth, thinking of Atlas revealing two new abilities!
However, he couldn't evade anymore, so he had to thrust his fist forward. The armament-coated fist now bore an even deeper layer of Haki.
When—!
The laser beam encountered significant resistance, deflecting at an angle and leaving behind a bloodied hole, revealing the bones in the fist.
This is just the strength of the pig talisman, yet he managed to redirect the laser with a single punch.
This simple act demonstrates that World has the ability to revolutionize the old era, and his Armament Haki proficiency is commendable.
Swish—!
Atlas didn't allow his adversaries a chance to recover. Seizing the advantage, he teleported upwards, materializing directly in front of World.
"Hey!"
Grinning, muscles across his body writhed, subcutaneous fascia tightened, and his arms visibly thickened out of thin air.
"——!!?"
Before World could react, Atlas drew a deep breath, steam enveloping him as his body resembled a tightly stretched bow.
Release!
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
A shadow of fists, even more formidable than World's earlier, enveloped him. Almost every punch was wrapped in high-level Armament Haki, akin to hundreds of fists striking World's body!
Kuang, kuang, kuang, kuang!
The world appeared like a loosely held sack, contorted randomly. Massive fists rained down on his form, blood gushing continuously, and bones and muscles torn apart incessantly!
"More More Hyakubai Chi no ya (More More Hundredfold Blood Arrrow)!"
Puff—!
A stream of blood sprayed from World's mouth, expanding instantly and splashing towards Atlas with a piercing sound through the air!
"..."
Witnessing this, Atlas resorted to evade.
Boom—!
The massive blood arrow descended upon the sea, creating a pit several feet deep. Numerous fish and sea creatures were affected, their white bellies floating on the water.
The once-clear blue sea was instantly tainted red.
Originally, the More-More Fruit couldn't increase his size.
But from the moment this spurt of blood occurred, it no longer counted as part of World himself, allowing him to double its size and speed.
"Huah...huah..."
With this spurt of blood, World finally gained a moment to catch his breath. He greedily inhaled the fresh air, casting an uncertain glance at Atlas.
What kind of monster is this guy?!
If he hadn't been convinced that the More-More Fruit power was still in play, he might have mistaken the Marine before him for the More-More Fruit user!
The terrifying speed and power unleashed in that moment surpassed even the speed increase of a hundred times.
Not to mention the astonishing reaction speed.
Now, World was starting to believe Byojack's words.
—This guy is an absolute monster!
"Ah, as expected, you're quite resilient!"
Atlas observed the still vibrant World. Despite the numerous fist marks on his body, he hadn't yet forfeited his combat capability.
I must admit, just like most individuals in the pirate world.
Tough as nails and resilient to the core!
"But... it's time to wrap this up."
Atlas's gaze turned increasingly serious, his palms subtly brushing against the Kaminari at his waist.
It's been a while since he returned to the Marine Base in the New World. Given the current scenario, the unrestrained pirates in the New World are likely getting bolder and more unruly.
The influence of Whitebeard's final words cannot be overstated.
"The secret of Ittoryu: One snap of the finger contains twenty moments; One moment contains twenty thoughts; One thought contains ninety instants; One instant contains nine million births and deaths!"
A burst of crimson flashed, the blade slicing through space, disrupting time and dimensions. It was as if time had been momentarily frozen, and myriad sword lights descended upon World.
"Senkiri Issen (Thousand cuts in one flash)!!!"
