Chapter 17
The Flame Handgun!! Kaido Is Down?

【Kaido swung his spiked club, wrapped in purple lightning, and slammed it into the ground, sending a terrifying tremor through the entire Onigashima.】

【Luffy, who had been leaping through the air, appeared behind Kaido. Extending his right hand, which was shrouded in Haki, he closed his eyes and recalled the earlier words.】

【“The Haki you speak of… Wano calls it Ryuo."】

【A flash of light illuminated the scene. Haki, resembling cherry blossoms, flowed through the intricate patterns, until it reached his hand.】

【Luffy suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils glowing red. An explosion of light erupted from his right hand, radiating a fearsome aura.】

【His entire right hand grew monstrously large, covered in black iron-like Haki.】

The pirates of the world knew this was Armament Haki.

But why did it feel different?

【"Rubber… Rubber, Blazing Fist!!!"】

【Luffy’s gigantic right hand, engulfed in crimson flames, smashed toward Kaido.】

【“Pistol!!!”】

【】The words had barely left his lips when his fist crashed into Kaido’s face. The earth cracked and split apart, the impact shattering even the distant mountains.【】

【Kaido, unable to maintain his stance, was sent flying backwards. His face contorted in pain as he landed on the ground.】

【Big Mom stared at the fallen Kaido, eyes wide with disbelief. That single blow had actually knocked him down…

【“Hey!! Kaido, what are you doing? How could you be knocked down?!”】

【Kaido, facing Big Mom's incredulous question, was also baffled. He looked up at Luffy, who was slowly descending.】

【“I’m Monkey D. Luffy, the man who will surpass you and become Pirate King!”】

【Under the stunned gazes of Kaido and Big Mom, Luffy placed his straw hat on his head and declared his ambition with a firm voice.】

The Pirate World

The pirates of the world watched in stunned silence as Kaido was sent flying by Luffy’s single punch.

First, he recklessly turned his back on two Emperors!

Then, he sent Kaido flying with a single punch!

An eerie silence fell over the world, but countless eyes were filled with disbelief.

Kaido, the so-called strongest creature, had been knocked down by a rookie Straw Hat…

“What was that just now?”

“Kaido’s defenses were actually broken?!!”

Countless pirates began to question if their own Armament Haki was truly a fake. If it was the same technique, how could there be such a difference?

“This is a high-level application of Armament Haki…” It was nothing new to Garp, who was proficient in its use.

Sengoku couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, a flicker of shock crossing his eyes.

This wasn't something you could just learn. And how old was he?

To reach this level at such a young age… His talent was simply terrifying.

The Whitebeard Pirates

“Pops!! What was that??”

“Is that also Haki? It looks really powerful!!”

Whitebeard also watched the screen in astonishment. Seeing Luffy knock Kaido down, he couldn't help but say, "I underestimated you, Ace's little brother is no pushover!!"

"This is a high-level application of Armament Haki. Most people can't learn it."

"The truly astonishing thing is his age. He's already reached the level of an Emperor at this age. Now that's something worth being surprised about!"

Big Mom, while munching on her cake, couldn’t hide the shock in her eyes. Kaido had been knocked down!

He must have been caught off guard. Otherwise, how could Kaido be knocked down by a mere brat…

This was simply mind-boggling…

"That little punk who just showed up, how can he be this strong?!" Donquixote Doflamingo gritted his teeth, veins popping out on his forehead.

Kaido was someone even he wouldn’t dare to provoke, let alone fight.

Yet, this Straw Hat, who looked no older than fifteen, had actually broken Kaido’s defenses. His talent was terrifying!

The Straw Hats were dumbfounded.

"So cool!!" Nami exclaimed, mesmerized.

"Indeed…" Nico Robin was speechless, also shocked.

While their captain might seem goofy at times, he was still incredibly cool when serious.

And the Luffy in the video seemed to possess a different aura, making him appear incredibly reliable.

Unlike Nami and Robin, Zoro was focused on that single attack.

He was no match for the current Luffy. And he was already this strong?

Then he couldn’t fall behind!

The Bleach World

"What a strange feeling!?”

"He’s talking about rubber, but his hand is covered in flames?"

Aizen watched Luffy's Haki-wrapped hand, his brow furrowed in confusion.

"Is this ability similar to a Quincy’s Vollständig?”

"Looks like I’ll need to study some Quincy’s.”

Aizen thought deeply. Different worlds, but certain powers seemed similar.

The techniques were quite similar. If he covered his body with Reiatsu, would it achieve the same effect?

The Naruto World

“Wait! Don’t you think that weapon is a bit excessive?!”

Jiraiya twitched his lips as he looked at the spiked club that was roughly the size of a tailed beast.

Who would dare face that? They’d be turned into paste in an instant!

And that earth-shattering attack! Was that the power of another world? It was truly terrifying!

“So cool, so awesome!” Naruto’s eyes sparkled as he watched Luffy on the screen.

Seeing Luffy knock out Kaido with a single punch and declare his ambition with such swagger, it was just too cool!

The Fairy Tail World

"I'm fired up!!!"

Seeing the cool Luffy, Natsu was filled with burning passion.

"If Natsu were to face him, he'd be dead in a second," Happy said casually, covering his mouth with his hands.

"Yeah, yeah!"

"He'd definitely lose!"

The Fairy Tail gang teased Natsu, who was about to retort when the video continued playing.
