Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

Chapter 226 A punch from 3 years later!

Without the slightest hesitation, Big Bear immediately slapped himself on the body.

Whoosh!

The next instant, his figure vanished from the spot, and the moment after he disappeared, a fist appeared where he had been standing.

The terrifying force caused the space itself to tremble slightly.

Kyle glanced to the side and saw Big Bear standing in an open space not far away, staring intently at him.

Kyle retracted his fist and spoke softly:

"They dodged pretty fast!"

"Come!"

"Let me see just how fast you can dodge!"

Kyle waved his hand, and a series of thunderous booms echoed in the void.

Countless bolts of purple lightning appeared out of thin air and struck the giant bear.

!!!

The bear's pupils suddenly contracted, and its body flickered continuously, dodging the incoming bolts of lightning.

At first, it was fine; there weren't many lightning bolts, and the bear wasn't having much trouble dodging them.

But at some point, the number of lightning bolts that struck suddenly increased several times over, and they were moving much faster than before.

This caused the usually composed bear's expression to change drastically, and he dodged much faster than before.

Even so, Big Bear still felt immense pressure. The lightning bolts were too fast and too numerous. Several times, he had to dodge at the last second, narrowly missing them.

Moreover, with his current posture of dodging with all his might, he simply cannot maintain it for long, as it consumes too much of his physical strength.

No! We can't just sit here and wait to be killed; we must take the initiative!

This idea came to Big Bear's mind.

However, before he could do so, his expression changed drastically again, and he even stopped dodging, staring wide-eyed ahead.

This was because the number of purple lightning bolts had increased several times over, densely covering almost the entire field of vision, and their speed had increased to a new level.

???

How do you even play this?!

Before the idea could be fully formed, purple lightning surged forth, engulfing the bear.

Sizzle~

In an instant, the area where the bear stood transformed into a sea of ​​purple lightning, crackling incessantly.

"Um?!"

But this situation made Kyle, who was not far away, raise an eyebrow.

This was because he could clearly see the bear's situation in the purple sea of ​​lightning.

The bear clapped its hands repeatedly, covering the entire area around its body, forming a spherical air shield around it.

The surface of this shield possesses the properties of the Bear's Paw-Paw Fruit. When lightning strikes it, it is deflected, but only the majority of it is deflected. A small portion of the lightning still breaks through the shield and enters, eventually striking the bear.

This made the bear's body tremble several times.

However, these stray lightning bolts were not a significant threat to the Bakania bear, who was at least able to withstand an attack of this magnitude for some time.

"Since that's the case..."

Kyle smiled faintly.

The lightning bolts he unleashed weren't particularly powerful, so it wasn't surprising that they were blocked by the bear.

After all, the Paw-Paw Fruit's power is quite strong.

Kyle could certainly use a more powerful lightning attack to defeat his opponent, but he doesn't intend to do so now.

From the beginning until now, during the time he fought the big bear, it can be said that this was Kyle's last moment to experience his current strength.

because--

He's going to 'summon' himself from three years in the future to fight!

Power of the future, use it!!

……

boom--

A terrifying shockwave exploded in Kyle's mind, and for a moment, Kyle's thoughts vanished.

No, perhaps it should be said that we have entered another different dimension.

In a short period of time, countless fragments of memories related to cultivation appeared in Kyle's mind, a feeling somewhat similar to the fruit experience pack Kyle had previously obtained.

But overall they are different.

The fruit experience pack only improved Kyle's abilities related to fruit powers.

However, this future power is allocated based on the proportion of Kyle's past training in various abilities, and the training time is determined accordingly.

Kyle's abilities, including the three types of Haki, his proficiency with his Devil Fruit powers, and other skills, are improving at an extremely rapid pace.

The only thing that didn't improve was Kyle's swordsmanship, because Kyle had never spent time practicing swordsmanship in the past.

With Zoro working so hard, does he even need to practice swordsmanship?

Isn't that a complete waste of time?

It felt like a century had passed, yet it also felt like only a short while had gone by.

Kyle slowly awoke, but his eyes looked different than before, more... world-weary!

Kyle slightly raised his hand and gently clenched his fist.

An unparalleled power surged forth, a power that was both strange and familiar to him.

It felt unfamiliar because he had never experienced this level of power before, yet it felt familiar because, despite never having felt it before, he felt no difficulty in using it now.

It was as natural as an arm, without the slightest awkwardness.

"Is this how I'll be three years from now?"

Kyle murmured softly.

"To paraphrase what Luffy said when he activated Gear Fifth in the original manga, I feel like I can do anything right now!"

"If I had this strength during the Impel Down battle a few days ago, none of those guys would have escaped!"

Kyle can say with absolute confidence that, with his current strength, he is absolutely capable of fighting against all the hostile forces in the Impel Down war single-handedly.

He's not afraid to come at us all at once!

Kyle slightly raised his eyes, looking at the giant bear still enveloped in purple lightning, and raised his hand slightly.

A faint smile appeared on his lips.

He raised his fist, clenched it, and Armament Haki enveloped it.

"Come on, feel a punch from three years in the future!!"

Before he finished speaking, Kyle's figure vanished from his spot and instantly appeared in front of the giant bear in the Thunder Sea.

He slammed a punch at the bear.

!!!

Big Bear was startled by Kyle's sudden appearance, but he was only nervous for a short while.

Even though Kyle is incredibly powerful, he has a certain level of self-confidence. He believes that even Kyle should be able to overcome the energy shield he created…

!!!

Big Bear's eyes widened again, almost popping out of their sockets.

His energy shield shattered the moment it touched Kyle, and Kyle's fist grew larger and larger before his eyes, finally landing on his face...

Baby-like sleep, Big Bear deserves it!
