CHAPTER 160: CHAPTER 160: THE JOY OF THE SUPERHUMAN FORM, A CLASH OF CONQUEROR’S HAKI INFUSION

"Is there something wrong with my eyes?"

"Lord Dragon Knight, he... he ignored that giant flame palm..."

"Too strong! What is his body made of?"

"With that kind of defense, even a shotgun couldn’t hurt him, right?!"

"Are all the overlords of the seas monsters like this?!"

"..."

Since the Visual Den Den Mushi had captured the entire scene.

The image of Karl transforming into a meteor and piercing through the flame palm was seen by the whole world.

Watching Karl, who did nothing, yet broke through that visually stunning giant flame palm, everyone was shocked by his physique.

To ignore that kind of flame palm, which could destroy a city with a single slap.

Even the weak, who had no knowledge, could see just how terrifying the hardness of Karl’s body was.

Never mind the weak; even awakened Zoan users, seeing Karl’s action, couldn’t help but curse "monster" under their breath.

Existences like natural-born monsters were truly the darlings of this world.

Zoan users had to work hard to awaken their defense and recovery power, while others were born with it. Unless it was a powerful Zoan or Mythical Zoan, the level of their awakened development couldn’t compare to the other party.

Comparing people is truly infuriating; comparing goods, one has to throw them away.

Karl was unaware of the world’s reaction, and even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.

After sending Charlotte Linlin crashing from the rock giant’s shoulder to the ground with a single punch.

Karl once again used Lightning Teleport, transforming into a blue-white meteor, and in the blink of an eye, caught up to Charlotte Linlin, who was falling with her back to the ground.

Boom—!

Not giving the other party a chance to summon the thundercloud Zeus to avoid crashing into the ground.

Karl once again threw a punch, wreathed in golden, flowing Haki, at the eight-meter-eight huge body.

"Damn brat, don’t you look down on people!"

However, this time, Karl’s punch failed to make Charlotte Linlin spit out blood.

Just as his fist was about to land on her, a layer of flowing Haki blocked Karl’s Haki attack.

Even so, the punch, which contained monstrous strength and ultimate Armament Haki, still made Charlotte Linlin feel intense pain.

But Karl’s punch did help to slow her descent.

Taking this opportunity, Charlotte Linlin summoned back the thundercloud Zeus and the sun Prometheus, and turned to launch a barrage of thunder and fire at Karl.

In response, Karl still had no intention of dodging.

The current Karl, in his superhuman form, was unprecedentedly powerful.

Life Return infused his consciousness into his body, controlling the electric current of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to stimulate the trillions of cells in his body.

As if awakening a dormant power, Karl’s strength, which had broken the limits of the human body, was skyrocketing every minute.

If Garp, after breaking the limits of the human body, could, with a little charging, unleash a force exceeding his normal state by 150%, 200%, 300%... or even over 500%.

He used a huge amount of physical energy as a price in exchange for a force more than five times his normal state.

Then Karl, after breaking the limits of the human body, started from 101% and was slowly rising.

As if warming up, after breaking the limits of the human body, Karl’s strength grew greater, his speed grew faster, and his power grew stronger...

Therefore...

Facing Charlotte Linlin’s thunder and fire barrage, Karl simply met it with a single punch.

Boom————!

Under the loud bang, Charlotte Linlin and Karl fell towards the sky and the ground respectively.

But the speed at which Charlotte Linlin flew into the sky far surpassed Karl’s.

Even that mountain-shattering fist felt a wave of pain.

Both were natural-born monster fists, both were wrapped in ultimate Armament Haki, yet Charlotte Linlin’s fist felt the same pain as when she had taken a punch from Karl.

Karl, on the other hand, only felt his fist go slightly numb, and a little bit hot.

That was the damage from the sun, Prometheus.

As for the electric current attack from the thundercloud Zeus, it was absorbed by Karl and used to stimulate his cells, enhancing his strength.

Whoosh—

Looking at Charlotte Linlin, who was flying into the center of the island like a parabola.

Karl once again used Lightning Teleport, transforming into a meteor and chasing after her.

It had to be said that Karl was extremely satisfied with his new form.

Ever since sharing the little dragon’s Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability, Karl had rarely used his powerful Body of Steel to withstand enemy attacks like he did in the East Blue.

He used elementalization and electric field teleportation to make the enemy’s attacks miss, then appeared behind the enemy or in another position to launch a sneak attack or a one-hit victory.

Even if Karl wanted to go head-to-head, the almost passive elementalization would automatically defend.

But now, Karl, who had used Life Return to expose his physical body 100%, finally realized just how powerful his first trait, Body of Steel, which had grown stronger with his evolution, had become.

Body of Steel + Life Return + Electric Current Method + Armament Haki, he didn’t need elementalization at all.

In this world, that small handful of super-powerful individuals of the same level would also have a hard time breaking his defense.

After experiencing the joy of his new form, Karl, this newly promoted master of martial arts, became even more excited.

Only sandbags like Charlotte Linlin and Kaido could withstand the full power of this form.

And only sandbags like them could let Karl understand how much of a gap there was between his superhuman form and Garp’s.

With the electric current stimulating his cells, would his strength, in the end, be able to surpass Garp’s superhuman form?

If it did, by how much?

And so...

After catching up to Charlotte Linlin, Karl, whose strength was increasing every minute, displayed a power and speed that completely suppressed her.

His figure, like a curved bolt of lightning, disappeared from Charlotte Linlin’s sight in the blink of an eye.

Then, a sharp pain suddenly came from a certain part of her body.

Her Observation Haki could predict Karl’s movements and also capture his figure, but the huge Charlotte Linlin could not react and counterattack, and could only passively endure Karl’s extremely painful fists.

Covering her body with flowing Haki could only reduce the pain a little, but it couldn’t make her ignore Karl’s attacks.

"Aaaaaah... stop it already, you old hag!"

Being passively beaten continuously made Charlotte Linlin lose her reason and fly into a rage again.

But despite her surface rage, she still unleashed an astonishing Conqueror’s Haki, and her speed increased for a time.

The intense pain allowed Charlotte Linlin’s monster physique, which was originally unable to bring out 100% of its power, to approach its limit.

Charlotte Linlin, holding the emperor’s sword, relying on her innate physical talent, swung a sword wreathed in Conqueror’s Haki at Karl.

Boom————!

In response, Karl, equally unwilling to show weakness, also wreathed his fists in Conqueror’s Haki and engaged in an otherworldly duel with Charlotte Linlin.
