At this moment, Hisoka forcibly stopped his backward momentum.
In this situation, his momentum had already weakened, and he should have retreated to regroup. But he didn't do that. Instead, he took a sudden step forward, lifting his right leg to kick toward Law's left temple.
'To take such a risk...'
Law quickly glanced at the Nen Threads Hisoka had attached to his elbow and knee during their earlier exchange. He couldn't spare the time to cut them off right now.
Facing Hisoka's kick, which clearly lacked power, Law raised his left hand to block it easily. At the same time, he stepped forward and delivered a heavy elbow strike to Hisoka's chest.
In this brief exchange, Law had hit Hisoka twice.
Crack!
The sound of bones breaking was heard.
Hisoka was sent flying backward, but he ignored the injury. Instead, he twisted in mid-air and lifted his right leg to kick toward Law from a distance. It looked like a clumsy bicycle kick.
If Hisoka's right foot hadn't been separated by Law's God Hand, this move would have been meaningless, like a clown performing a ridiculous act in the air.
At the same time, Law had severed all the Nen Threads attached to his body, preventing Hisoka from using them to cause trouble.
As he cut off the sticky Nen Threads, he saw Hisoka's right foot detach and fly straight toward him.
"Huh?"
Law raised an eyebrow in surprise, but it was too late to defend against it.
The flying right foot struck his chest, but it had no real power and just stuck to his chest.
Law could clearly see a pink Nen Thread extending from Hisoka's ankle, connecting to the detached foot.
Earlier, Law had used Hisoka's Nen Ability to counterattack. Now, Hisoka was using Law's Nen Ability to create an opportunity.
'Bungee Gum, activate!'
Suddenly, Law's body was pulled toward Hisoka, and at the same time, Hisoka also moved towards him.
The two of them were like the positive and negative poles of a magnet attracting each other, quickly drawing closer to each other. At this moment, it felt like they were about to clash head-on!
In mid-air, Law raised his hand, intending to cut the Nen Thread attached to Hisoka's foot. However, Hisoka, using the elasticity of Bungee Gum, closed the distance too quickly.
'It's too late.'
Law quickly came to a conclusion and abandoned the idea of cutting the Nen Thread, instead preparing to face Hisoka directly.
'I see it now… the chance to win...'
Hisoka grinned and was about to unleash his prepared attack on Law's face, when suddenly, he felt a resistance in front of him, slowing his speed.
'Hmm? Air resistance?'
Hisoka's brows furrowed in a rare display of concern, and a chill representing a sense of crisis quickly ran through his body.
His carefully prepared attack, which he had been so confident about, was being affected by this inexplicable resistance...
Suppose that the attack value he gathered at that moment was ten points, then if he wanted to inflict all of these ten points of damage on Law, he would need ten points of agility to create a 100% hit rate.
He had used the separation of his foot and body, combined with Bungee Gum, to pull Law toward him, thus creating a temporary ten points of agility.
Ten points of attack value and ten points of agility value are the chance to win he had seen.
However, this sudden resistance acted like a debuff, directly reducing his agility value to six points.
Hisoka knew what that meant too well, and in that instant, the explosive power of his thinking reached an unprecedented peak.
'It's so exhilarating!'
This unprecedented experience made every cell in Hisoka's body leap with excitement.
The moment the resistance appeared, he decisively gave up this surefire attack and converted all ten points of attack power into defense.
What kind of decisiveness and judgment was that?
In a world filled with light, he had struggled to find a sliver of darkness, only to rationally banish that darkness the moment he found it.
How many people, after finding a glimmer of hope in endless despair, would willingly give it up?
'He made the right decision.'
In the audience, Biscuit frowned slightly, and she couldn't help but praise Hisoka in her heart.
'This was someone who hadn't yet reached his full potential. If he could fully develop his physique and Nen Abilities, the combat power he could display would be unimaginable.'
'However, Law stands higher than you...'
…
On the ring.
Hisoka switched from offense to defense with incredible decisiveness. He raised his arms and bent his knees, protecting his vital areas while concentrating Aura in his arms and knees, forming a solid shield.
Just as the two were about to collide due to the pull of Bungee Gum, Law also changed his attack at the last moment.
This was a decision he made the instant he saw Hisoka switch from offense to defense.
He raised his right leg, like a child stepping on a jump rope, and in mid-air, he stomped on Hisoka's pink Nen Thread, pressing it to the ground.
The Bungee Gum instantly formed a 'V' shape. At the same time, Hisoka's body flipped forward, his defensive posture now facing the ground, exposing his back.
In that instant, Law raised his arm and slammed his elbow down on Hisoka's back with great force.
Bang!
Hisoka slammed heavily to the ground and spat out a mouthful of thick blood.
The hard stone slab cracked, and his body bounced up.
The eyes of both parties met at this moment.
In Hisoka's eyes, he saw a fist coming at him.
Enduring the pain, he made a slight upward tilt of his head, causing it to fly upward in an attempt to dodge Law's second heavy strike.
However, during their earlier exchange, Law had seen how Hisoka used his Nen Ability and the detached foot to his advantage, so how could he forget that Hisoka's head was also separated from his body?
The punch that was originally aimed at Hisoka's face was adjusted by Law, rising about fifty centimeters from the previous target.
As a result, the scene looked like Law's punch was about to miss, only for Hisoka to move his face right into it.
This wasn't a coincidence …
Bang!
A deafening muffled sound echoed throughout the entire venue.
Hisoka's head flew backwards, and his body, which was still attached by Bungee Gum, also flew out with his head, crashing into the wall with a heavy impact. His life and death is unknown.
After throwing this punch, Law intended to grab the Bungee Gum to pull him back and give him another blow before Hisoka hit the ground to make sure the job was done.
However, he used all his strength in the previous punch, so Hisoka flew out too quickly, exceeding the ten-meter range and snapping the Nen Thread.
'There's no time to deliver another blow, but this should be enough to kill Hisoka, right?' Law thought silently as he looked at the dust-filled distance.
The consecutive heavy blows, combined with the full-force punch, should have been enough to be fatal.
The referee ran over to where Hisoka had fallen and checked his condition.
However, instead of announcing a knockout, he began a countdown.
He counted to seven before suddenly stopping, as Hisoka staggered to his feet.
"…"
Law frowned. He hadn't expected Hisoka to be so resilient.
'But that was good. If the fight continued, I would have more opportunities to finish Hisoka off.'
'If only this had been a death match, it wouldn't have been so troublesome. I wouldn't have had to wait for the referee to check on Hisoka.'
The referee looked at the swaying Hisoka and first announced that Law had scored three points. Then he asked, "Can you continue?"
Hisoka's entire face was caved in, and most of his nose bones were broken into several pieces.
He ignored the referee and instead looked at Law from a distance. A strange smile appeared on his almost disfigured face, and he said, "There is no chance of winning... I surrender."
