One Piece: Fist of the World

"It's just a little devil." Feeling the powerful force coming from his arm and the opponent's skillful use of Haki, Zephyr's eyes flashed with surprise, but he did not give in at all.

"It's just an ordinary attack, but it has such an exaggerated name." Hearing Zephyr's words, Rhodes's anger grew even more intense.

"Whether it's a normal attack or not, you'll know if you try it again, old man!" Rhodes suddenly blasted out with his other fist, and his Haki quickly flowed through his body, making each of his attacks full of Haki and able to burst out with greater power.

"Why would a boy like you choose to become a pirate?" After exchanging punches with Rhodes again, Zephyr began to question him. Although he had experienced the pain of losing his family and students, he still believed in the justice of the Navy in his heart. He also knew about what the Rhodes Pirates had done since they set out to sea, and knew that they were not the kind of pirates who would commit all kinds of evil and burn, kill, and loot along the way.

"Why?" Rhodes recalled what he had seen and heard since he was a child: Celestial Dragons, the World Government, the King, the Nobles, the Corrupt Navy, the Brutal Pirates... Ordinary people lived under layer upon layer of oppression, working hard for a living, yet could not even guarantee enough food and clothing. He would never spend his life like this!

"Because I want to take control of my own life!" The two men's fists collided fiercely again. Compared to Zephyr, Rhodes looked thinner, but the power bursting out from his fists was not weak at all.

"I see." Zephyr looked at the boy in front of him seriously. His head of red hair fluttered in the wind, and his emerald green eyes were so sharp that they seemed to pierce through everything in front of him. That overly young face was full of the recklessness and high spirits of a young man. This man has a strong will that cannot be shaken by words. Rather, it was a bit ridiculous for him to try to shake such an extremely determined man with words.

"Your heart is as firm as your fist. It seems I can't convince you." Zephyr's tone held a hint of regret. "What a pity." A strong Haki wrapped around Zephyr's fist, then dyed his arm completely black. Just by looking at it, you could feel the terrifying power contained in the fist.

"You can only spend the rest of your life in Impel Down!" Swoosh— Zephyr suddenly disappeared from Rhodes's sight. With a flash of red in his eyes, Rhodes raised his hands and crossed them in front of him.

Boom!! The next moment, a powerful fist blasted out again, hitting Rhodes's arm hard and knocking his body flying. Rhodes's body flew in the air, then struggled to the ground, his feet plowing two deep marks.

"If you can do it, then give it a try!" He stomped his foot to stop himself from retreating. Looking at Zephyr rushing towards him, Rhodes gathered strength in his fists, twisted his waist, and instantly gathered all the strength of his body at one point.

"Six Kings Gun!"

Integrating Haki with the Six Kings Gun

Looking at the attack launched by Rhodes, Zephyr was suddenly shocked. He was too familiar with this move! As the former chief instructor of the Navy Headquarters, he had taught countless naval generals. It could be said that most of the generals of the Navy Headquarters now come from his recruit training camp. However, in all his years as an instructor, there were not many people who could fully master the Six Styles of the Navy, let alone the secrets like the Six Kings Gun. And this kid actually mastered the Six Styles of the Navy by himself and also understood the mysteries of the Six Styles! But...

"It's useless!" Zephyr threw a punch, which collided with Rhodes's attack. Whether it was swordsmanship, physical skills, or the ability of Devil Fruits, they were just means of fighting. In a battle between masters, the only thing that could decide the outcome was Haki! The invisible attack hit Rhodes the moment Zephyr swung his fist. Even though he used his Haki to resist in time, he was still uncontrollably knocked away again.

It still doesn't work! Rhodes's body was flying backward, thoughts flashing in his mind. The Six Kings Gun is a secret that can only be used after thoroughly mastering the Six Styles. It is an attack that releases all the strength of the whole body in the form of a shock wave in an instant. The externalization of Haki is to let it flow and cause harm to the opponent without making contact, which is essentially utilizing the impact of Haki. If the shock wave of the Six Kings Gun and the outward release of Haki can be combined, it will unleash a power far greater than that of ordinary attacks!

Bang! Rhodes landed on the ground, stared at Zephyr, who was rushing towards him, and readjusted his stance. There should be no problem with the assumption, and my body can still support it for now. Rhodes glanced at the battle over there from the corner of his eye and felt relieved. The companions were also fine and could withstand the Navy's attack.

"How dare you look around during a fight!" Rhodes raised his arms and blocked Zephyr's heavy blow at the critical moment, his body shaking slightly. Well, let's go ahead and try to combine the shock wave of the Six Kings Gun with its Haki external release!

Boom! There came another familiar shock.

"It's no use saying it!" Zephyr swung his fist and released his Haki, easily dispersing the shock wave of Rhodes's "Six Kings Gun." However, this boy has such a strong physique! Even among the generals in the Navy who specialized in physical skills, only a very small number of them had mastered the secret of the Six Kings Gun. And among this very small number of people, there are only a few who can use this move continuously. After all, the Six Kings Gun releases a shock wave by concentrating all the strength of the body. Most people will fall into a state of exhaustion after using it once. But, this kid, this is the fourth time!

He punched out again, blasting away the Six Kings Gun that Rhodes had released with all his strength, and Zephyr's expression changed slightly. The move just now seemed to be more than just the impact of the 'Six Kings Gun'. And Haki!

"It seems that you will be arrested here anyway." Zephyr looked at Rhodes's overly young face and clenched his fists a little tighter. "Otherwise, you will bring unpredictable changes to this world!"

"Oh?" Rhodes also noticed that in the previous attack, he successfully integrated his Haki into the shock wave of the "Six Kings Gun." Although he was not very proficient yet, and the combination was rather rough, it was a good start after all.

"World?" With a smile on his face, Rhodes looked at Zephyr. "Don't put such a big accusation on me without permission!"

"I just want to defeat you completely here!" Combining the outward display of Haki with the shock wave of the Six Kings Gun, this move should be enough to defeat you! Rhodes was full of fighting spirit and stared at Zephyr.

Rhodes and Zephyr's intense battle continues, with Rhodes showcasing remarkable resilience and a unique fighting style. Zephyr questions Rhodes's choice to be a pirate, to which Rhodes responds with a firm resolve to control his destiny. Rhodes then attempts to merge his Six Kings Gun with his Armament Haki, making progress in integrating these two powerful techniques. Zephyr recognizes Rhodes's dangerous potential, vowing to imprison him to prevent him from bringing "unpredictable changes" to the world.

Can Rhodes successfully integrate his Haki with the Six Kings Gun and defeat Zephyr? What impact will this new, integrated attack have on the battle and Zephyr's perception of Rhodes's growing power?
