Chapter 442 Great All-Stars of the Hundred Beasts
Hawkeye and Bear stood side by side.
Facing such a combination, even King deep down felt a long-lost sense of crisis rising up.
However.
Although he couldn't find a method to defeat the two, it didn't mean he would sit idly by and wait for death.
Moreover—
King glanced at the golden and black figures constantly clashing in the sky to the side.
Kaido dealing with Sengoku was already troublesome enough, if he didn't stop these two guys, the trouble on Kaido's side would be even greater.
The strength of Hawkeye and Bear, if it were a one-on-one fight, would certainly not be able to influence Kaido, but if these two guys attacked when Sengoku was fighting Kaido, then Kaido might very well be defeated.
Because their strength was already enough to change the direction the scales of victory would fall, and fortunately, Nicholas had attracted two Top-Tier Combat Power from the Navy, otherwise he wouldn't know where their chance of survival lay.
So, even if he died, he had to stop them.
Moreover, with the Navy's deployment, the only choice left for both sides was to fight to the death.
This was the antagonistic relationship between Pirates and the Navy.
Red Light representing Observation Haki suddenly appeared in King's eyes.
Then—
King suddenly attacked.
Without the slightest timidity, nor fear of the Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea's strength and reputation.
After all, you are a Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea, but I am the Sea Emperor's Right-hand men!
What's more, without a fight, who knows who is stronger and who is weaker!
King's pitch-black Wings on his back suddenly closed, and his massive Form shot towards Hawkeye and Bear like a sharp arrow.
At the same time, the huge Katana tightly held in his hand also suddenly burst into raging Flame.
On the Sea Surface, a burst of Firelight was instantly reflected.
"Flame Ember Hook Claw!"
Almost instantly arriving in front of Hawkeye, King pushed his Armament Haki and Power to the extreme, wielding the Long Sword wrapped in Flame, slashing down at Hawkeye from above.
Hawkeye gazed at the Katana slashing directly at him, his Eyes reflected a burning Claw fiercely grabbing towards him.
But Hawkeye remained unmoved, and calmly reached out and grabbed the Sword Hilt of Black Blade Night behind him.
Then—
He horizontally raised his Long Sword with one hand, forcibly blocking the Flame Blade that was slashing down.
The Flame Blade, carrying Killing Intent, stopped steadily in front of Hawkeye.
"Hmm!?"
Seeing Flame Ember Hook Claw blocked by Hawkeye like this, King's Pupil shrank. Although he had already overestimated the strength of the Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea, he didn't expect the opponent to be so troublesome, he subconsciously wanted to draw his Sword back.
However—
Before he could make any Action, Hawkeye's Sword was even faster. In a Lightning Flash, King only saw a cold, bright Light flash across his Eyes.
Hawkeye raised his Eyes and looked at King in Winged Dragon Human-Beast Form who had landed in the distance, and said calmly:
"Ancient Zoan Winged Dragon Form, and the Ability of Flame... quite interesting. But not a pure Swordsman, in front of me, you don't have the Qualification to wield a Sword!"
"..."
King remained silent, just gazing at Hawkeye with his Sword slanted in front of him.
And as Hawkeye's Words fell, the Mask on King's Face also split open from the middle, revealing that somewhat handsome Face.
"A Swordsman who is not loyal to the Sword, the Sword will not respond to you either."
Hawkeye immediately slowly and forcefully raised his Long Sword and pointed it directly at King. Those Eagle-like sharp Eyes even made King feel the illusion of being targeted by a hunter.
"Swords are just Weapons..."
Before the Words finished, Armament Color was wrapped around the Foot Claws of the Pterodactyl Form, and it lashed out at Hawkeye like Lightning.
Clang—!
This Foot, however, kicked the Blade of Black Blade Night in Hawkeye's hand.
The violent Impact Force passed through the Blade and directly transmitted to Hawkeye's Body.
However, facing this Terror Power, Hawkeye's Body remained as still as a mountain, and the Sword in his hand was not shaken in the slightest.
After all, for Top-Tier Combat Power Swordsman, their own Power and Physical Prowess are equally terrifying.
"His Power..."
Feeling the sensation feedback from his Foot Claw, Instantly, King's Complexion turned slightly ugly.
King even suspected why such a Weapon was willing to become a Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea, becoming a running Dog of the World Government.
And on the side.
Bear quietly watched the Battle between Hawkeye and King, seemingly having no intention of intervening.
"So strong!"
The Navy who had already vacated the Battlefield as the Battle began, looked at the might erupting from several Battlefields, and couldn't help but exclaim, obviously for them, the Battle between these Strongest on the Grand Line was undoubtedly like a Natural Disaster.
"Since your Attack is over, then it's my turn."
As Hawkeye's Words fell, King's Pupil suddenly shrank, and he saw Hawkeye directly wielding Black Sword and slashing through the Sky at a Terror Speed.
The Black Sword in Hawkeye's hand was like a storm, slashing towards the Vital point of his Body, and facing this storm-like Slash, King did not have the slightest Thoughts of using his Body or Armament Haki to resist it head-on, but instead used the Long Sword in his hand to constantly parry Hawkeye's Attack.
With a muffled bang.
King's Body shook, and he was shaken back a good distance by this sudden Burst of Power.
Then he raised his Eyes to look at Hawkeye, but saw Hawkeye's Eagle-like sharp Eyes still staring intently at him.
"..."
King was silent, his Gaze turned, and landed on Bear who looked like a Statue on the side.
These two guys...
With the current situation, Bear could completely catch him off guard.
But Bear didn't do this.
Thinking of Hawkeye not seeming to have used his Full Power in the Battle with him, King realized...
These two guys are using him to slack off.
"If that's the case... is there an Opportunity?"
Realizing that the Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea did not seem to intend to go all out, King silently watched the Battle between Kaido and Sengoku in the distance, thinking silently in his Inner Thoughts.
However, regardless of whether the Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea intended to slack off, he had no Opportunity to Support Kaido.
...
Queen transformed into Brachiosaurus Form.
The Fury that surged from the bottom of his heart turned into ferocious and bulging Blood Vessel on his Face.
He was really furious now, those two little Bugs were simply playing with him like stupid Dinosaurs.
Didi—!!!
Queen opened his giant mouth, accompanied by the Sound of Energy gathering, brilliant Radiance quickly gathered in his mouth.
It has to be said that as a Modification Expert, Queen's modification of himself is quite thorough. Not only has he been modified in Human Form, but even the Brachiosaurus Form in Beast Form has been modified.
The most important thing is that the modification of the Brachiosaurus Form can be perfectly contained when transformed into Human Form.
This undoubtedly requires extremely high modification Means.
However, under extreme Fury at this time, he unhesitatingly launched an Attack at Crocodile.
Whoosh—!
A yellow Laser shot out from his mouth, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived In front of Crocodile.
The Laser, which far exceeded ordinary People's Reaction Speed, instantly penetrated Crocodile.
"Don't you know that such an Attack is of no use to a Logia Type like me?"
Crocodile, whose Chest had been opened with a big Hole, said indifferently as he looked at Queen.
And hearing Crocodile's Words, Queen became even more irritable.
After all, Logia Type is really too rogue, and for People like himself who lack Means to target Logia Type, it is simply disgusting to death.
Watching a large amount of Sand appear in front of Crocodile's Chest and repair the Hole in his Chest.
Queen's Eyes instantly became extremely gloomy.
"I said, don't underestimate People, bastard!!!"
Before the Words finished, the Sound of Energy gathering sounded again in the Brachiosaurus's mouth.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!
This time, three Laser Cannon were continuously shot out from the Brachiosaurus's mouth.
However, this time Queen's Target was no longer Crocodile.
The Trajectory of Light that was difficult to capture with the naked eye appeared In front of Doflamingo, and under the illumination of the dazzling Radiance, was Doflamingo's unbelievable expression.
The Battlefield was silent.
"That Weapon was killed?"
"Idiot, do you still need to ask such a question? Three Lasers through the chest, who does he think he is!"
"But the opponent is the insidious and cunning Sea Rogue... even if..."
"You bastard, won't you look and see that those controlled guys have regained Freedom, Doflamingo must have been killed by Lord Queen! Hey, I said, what are you doing with a Sword?"
"I don't know what I'm doing with a Sword either, my Hand is out of Control!"
(Well, according to Hawkeye's world's Strongest Swordsman's prestige, and as Zoro's ultimate Target to challenge, I think Hawkeye is almost certain to win against King, after all, Zoro has single-handedly defeated King, it would be ridiculous if Hawkeye and King fought to a draw. As for Crocodile fighting Queen, it's Devil Fruit Weakness...)
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 443: Boss, Hold On, I'm Leaving First
And as the words faded, a Sailor Knife was raised high in his hand.
Under the incredulous gazes of many Beasts Pirates members, they were ambushed by their own companions and fell into pools of blood.
And the last thing they saw before falling, besides the panicked expression on their companion's face, were the Thin Strings reflecting light hanging down from their companion's heads in the firelight.
"Fufufufufu, what a dangerous guy indeed."
Accompanied by his signature laughter, Doflamingo's figure slowly emerged from the shadows of the Ship.
And the Doflamingo who was originally standing on the Mast transformed into circles of Ball of Thread scattered on the ground.
This scene, combined with the chaotic Battlefield, directly shattered the last ray of Hope for many Beasts Pirates Pirate Crew.
Replacing it was Despair that quickly spread across the Battlefield.
Can they really defeat such a Monster?
Sensing the despairing gazes from all directions, Brachiosaurus Queen once again began to gather Energy, clearly understanding that he couldn't show any sign of the Beasts Pirates' inevitable Defeat right now.
Otherwise, the morale of the entire Beasts Pirates Pirate Crew would plummet.
At that point, they would truly be at everyone's mercy.
"Oh, still resisting stubbornly? It seems you haven't grasped Reality yet."
As he spoke, Crocodile's Figure transformed into Wind and Sand and dispersed, instantly forming a massive Desert Tornado that directly engulfed Queen.
Faced with the tornado formed by Crocodile, even Queen's massive Brachiosaurus Form struggled to break free.
Streaks of dazzling Laser Beams, accompanied by Queen's curses, pierced through the Desert Tornado and vanished into the Sky.
"Crocodile, you Weapon!"
Looking at the Wind and Sand swirling around him, Queen's face was so gloomy it could practically drip Water.
As Time passed, he gradually understood Crocodile's intention: to erode him slowly with Wind and Sand.
After all, although his Brachiosaurus Form had been modified, it was still a combination of Mechanical and Flesh. And as long as it was Mechanical, there would be gaps. Now, the Sand manipulated by Crocodile was gradually filling those gaps in his Mechanical joints.
Even his mouth, which launched Brachiosaurus Laser Beams, was filling with Sand.
Moreover, Queen could clearly feel the Water within his Body being constantly drawn out. If his Brachiosaurus Skin wasn't thick enough, the Water inside him would have already been completely sucked out.
It was clear that given enough Time, Crocodile would turn him into a Brachiosaurus Mummy.
Sensing the intense battle between Kaido and Sengoku in the Distance, Queen made a Determination.
"Damn it, I can't drag this out any longer! If I do, it's really over."
Di di di——
Queen's face hardened, and the Giant Brachiosaurus mouth opened to its Limit. The Laser device hidden in his throat began emitting rapid charging Sounds, and dazzling, starlight-like Radiance appeared in Queen's mouth.
The massive Energy reaction even made Doflamingo outside the Sandstorm frown involuntarily. Clearly, an Attack with such Energy could endanger his Life.
Almost instantly realizing something was wrong, Thin Strings shot out from Doflamingo's hand, latching onto the Mast of another Ship nearby.
Inside the Sandstorm, Crocodile watched Queen finish charging and became even more vigilant.
However, to his surprise, Queen's Attack wasn't directed at the surrounding Sandstorm, but straight down at his Foot.
As the Laser fired, the Deck beneath him was instantly pierced. Then, under Queen's Taunt, Firelight erupted from below, and the Deck warped violently as if some prehistoric Giant Beast was rising beneath it.
Boom!
With a terrifying burst of Firelight, the entire Ship exploded and disintegrated. The Sandstorm that had enveloped the Ship was also dispersed by the Air Wave from the Explosion.
"Fufufufufu, that's terrifying Power! That dead Crocodile isn't dead, is he?"
On a Ship not far from the Explosion, Doflamingo watched the massive Mushroom Cloud rise on the Sea Surface and said with a malicious grin. Clearly, if he hadn't evacuated in Time, he wouldn't have benefited from an Explosion of that scale.
"Oh, believe it or not, I'll kill you first!"
A cold Sound accompanied a Golden Hook appearing on Doflamingo's Shoulder from behind.
"Fufufufufu, seems like you're not hurt too badly."
As Doflamingo spoke, he slowly retracted the Silk Threads wrapped around the Golden Hook.
While Doflamingo and Crocodile were talking, a handsome, overweight guy in Sunglasses was sinking deeper and deeper into the Deep Sea.
Ka ka ka!~
Accompanied by the Sound of Mechanical activity, a Propeller extended from Queen's Buttocks. Shark Fin-like devices also extended from the joints of his Arms, and similar Fish Fin-like devices appeared on his Back.
The Propeller whirred to life, propelling Queen rapidly away in one direction.
Although Devil Fruit Ability is restricted in Seawater, Mechanical Power isn't affected. This was why Queen chose to Attack the Ship beneath him.
Boss Kaido, I'm off! You hold on!
...
"Was that Weapon Queen taken out?"
King looked at the massive Explosion in the Distance. Observation Haki couldn't sense Queen's Aura anymore, so he withdrew his Gaze.
As their own Forces were being eliminated, their chances of winning dwindled.
King, being on the Disadvantage side, naturally understood this Principle.
However, King refused to imagine Kaido's Defeat. Instead, he pushed aside distractions and focused all his Thoughts on the upcoming Battle with Hawkeye.
Right now.
What he thought in his Heart was to fight with Full Power. Only then could he better assist Kaido.
...
Admiral Kizaru Borsalino and Issho floated side-by-side in the Sky, exuding an atmosphere that could suffocate most Pirates in the world.
"Ummm~~~"
Kizaru looked at the Germa troops appearing before them and the Figure standing atop the Wall. He said with a slight headache, "This is a tricky Mission..."
"Marines...!!!"
Judge, the supreme commander of Germa 66, looked solemnly at Admiral Kizaru Borsalino and Issho appearing in the Sky.
Even setting aside everything else, Fujitora Issho's Reputation in the North Blue alone was enough to make him fully alert. Not to mention Admiral Kizaru Borsalino, who had come with him.
For Judge, the only certainty was—
Both Admiral Kizaru Borsalino and Fujitora Issho possessed the Ability to eliminate Germa 66.
"Two Vice Admirals, Germa 66 is a legitimate World Government Allied Nations. May I ask what brings you here?"
To Pirates, being a World Government Allied Nations was worth less than Waste Paper, but it still held some weight with the Navy.
However, with Admiral Kizaru Borsalino and Issho here, it meant that being a World Government Allied Nations was meaningless.
(End Chapter)
Chapter 444 Standing in Line
"This, ah, it seems there is such a thing. However…"
Yellow Monkey stroked his chin, speaking with an air of seriousness.
"According to the order we received, it is indeed to completely destroy you Germa. This is a bit troublesome."
Yellow Monkey seemed to fall into Distress, after all, according to the Regulations promulgated by the World Government, before obtaining the Authorization of the World Government, any Department belonging to the World Government, including the Navy, has no right to dispose of Member of the World Government Allied Nations for any Reason.
However, Admiral Sengoku's Order was to have Wisteria Tiger sink Germa 66 completely to the Seabed. Yellow Monkey did not believe that there was no Problem between these two things. After all, being able to become a Veteran of the Navy in later generations, Yellow Monkey naturally did not lack Strength and Vision.
He could almost guess that Sengoku asked him and Wisteria Tiger to act together this time to make him stand in line.
As for which line to stand on, it was not difficult to guess, it was nothing more than standing with the World Government or the Navy.
"Issho, I will try my best to hold back that Nicholas guy~~~"
Yellow Monkey tilted his Head to look at Wisteria Tiger, and then said unhurriedly: "How much Time do you need?"
"If there is no interference, twenty seconds."
Wisteria Tiger said with certainty, the Hand already clinging to the Sword Hilt slowly moved, drawing the Cane Sword out inch by inch.
Along with the Blade Edge being drawn out of its sheath, there were also Gravity Wave patterns entwined around the Cane Sword.
Wisteria Tiger's Eyes slightly opened, revealing the whites of his Eyes.
Although he was clear about Nicholas's powerful Strength, if Borsalino could hold back Nicholas, Wisteria Tiger was confident that he could completely sink Germa 66, this notorious Armed Group of North Blue, to the Seabed of North Blue within tens of seconds.
"Rest in peace."
Wisteria Tiger muttered to himself in a low voice.
Then the Cane Sword was unsheathed, and a deep purple spiral Gravity Wave was slashed towards the Sky.
A moment later.
A dazzling Red Light suddenly appeared in the heavy Dark Clouds, even dyeing the Dark Clouds red.
Then, in the dumbfounded Eyes of everyone, a Giant Meteorite several times larger than the previous Meteorite, wrapped in Flame, directly pushed through the thick Dark Clouds and fell towards the Sea Surface.
The Terror might stirred the Cloud layer of the Sky, and even made the Cloud layer that had been separated before due to the Haki collision between Kaido and Sengoku, mixed and intertwined again.
"Such a big Meteorite!!!"
"Hey hey, are you kidding me?"
"That is Vice Admiral Issho, what's impossible. But the Speed is so fast, and this Position… Germa those Weapon are finished!"
The Navy in the distance who had not joined the Battle said with certainty as they watched the Giant Meteorite falling from the Sky.
Judge looked up at the Giant Meteorite that dyed the Sky red and was falling directly towards them with an unstoppable trend, his expression panicked.
"Solve the Meteorite first."
Looking at the Meteorite above his Head, Nicholas was a little helpless. Even if all the Germa Soldier were used for self-destruction, it was estimated that it would not be enough to destroy this Meteorite.
After all, Germa these Weapon have no Means to deal with this kind of Terror Attack.
Nicholas moved his mind, and then a Lightning Longsword suddenly rose into the Sky and slashed towards the Meteorite.
In an instant—
This Lightning Longsword directly hit the Meteorite.
Then, in the face of this powerful Power, the Meteorite split in two from the middle and issued a violent Explosion, shattering and disintegrating in the Sky.
The Gunsmoke generated by the Meteorite Explosion and a large amount of Smoke that spread out instantly enveloped the High Sky, and at the same Time, a large number of gravels also fell on the Sea Surface like Rain, splashing up Wave after Wave.
At the same Time, looking at the shattered Meteorite, Judge could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But just then—
Above the High Sky, there were five more Meteorite of similar scale to the previous one, carrying intense Firelight, pushing through the Cloud layer and falling towards them.
As these five Meteorite appeared, Wisteria Tiger slowly sheathed his Cane Sword, looked up to "see" the Meteorite falling rapidly, and said calmly: "Although it is a bit strenuous, it should be enough."
"There's more!"
Judge's eyeballs were about to pop out, this kind of Attack that could easily destroy Islands and extinguish Life actually appeared five at once, this is too much respect for him.
"Hmm? Five?"
But just when Nicholas planned to Attack the Meteorite again, Yellow Monkey also made a move.
In the sharp whistling Sonic Boom, countless dazzling Light Bullet intertwined into a Barrage and directly submerged towards Nicholas.
Faced with Yellow Monkey's sudden Attacks, Nicholas, who originally wanted to destroy the five Meteorite, also temporarily stopped and turned to resist Yellow Monkey's Attack.
And Judge and the others could only watch helplessly as the Meteorite fell and approached.
At this critical moment.
Judge also decided to fight to the death.
Following his Order, all the Cannons on the Germa Giant Snail suddenly turned their directions, and then bombarded the five Giant Meteorite in the Sky.
A large number of Shell carrying the whistling Sonic Boom greeted the Meteorite, and accompanied by bursts of Explosion, successfully broke the Skin of the Meteorite.
After summoning the Meteorite, Wisteria Tiger did not idle either, his Observation Haki locked onto the Giant Snail Ship of Germa for the first Time.
"Gravity Blade - Elephant Foot"
Wisteria Tiger also made a move.
The Gravity field falling vertically from the Sky was like Elephant Foot stepping down from the Sky, and with Terror heavy pressure, it very simply pressed the Germa Giant Snail Ship directly into the In the Sea and disintegrated them.
In just a moment, dozens of Giant Snail Ship were completely destroyed by Wisteria Tiger. The Blood of the Giant Snail dyed a large Sea Area blue-green, mixed with a large number of Building Ruins and some cylindrical Glass Cabin.
Seeing this Scene, Fury surged in Judge's Eyes as he looked at Wisteria Tiger. Obviously, with Wisteria Tiger's move, Germa's years of Heart and Soul were lost.
And facing Judge's Eyes full of Fury, Wisteria Tiger slightly opened his white Eyes and "looked" at Judge across the Sea.
…
Ama-no-Murakumo!
A gorgeous Light Sword completely condensed from Light Particle appeared in Yellow Monkey's Hand, and then without the slightest pause, it slashed towards Nicholas.
According to the Navy's Intelligence on Nicholas, Yellow Monkey was clear about Nicholas's Terror, so as soon as he made a move, he tried his best to prevent him from using the Rumble-Rumble Fruit Ability. Although his Swordsmanship was not very good at, it was not a big Problem to hold back Nicholas.
That's why he directly approached and raided at the Speed of Light when Nicholas planned to make a move.
The Light Sword emitting Terror temperature broke through the Air and went straight to Nicholas's Head.
Facing Yellow Monkey's Slash, Red Light floated in Nicholas's Eyes, and then a Lightning Longsword appeared on the Swordsmanship Trajectory of Ama-no-Murakumo, steadily blocking Yellow Monkey's Slash.
At the moment of parrying Ama-no-Murakumo, Lightning suddenly Burst in Nicholas's other Hand that was freed, and a blazing Lightning quickly penetrated Yellow Monkey's Body.
Careless.
Yellow Monkey's Eyes changed slightly.
Although he was mentally prepared, he did not expect the opponent's Observation Haki and adaptability to be so strong.
In other words—
Relying on his Swordsmanship alone, he is not qualified to compete with Nicholas at all.
Yellow Monkey's Body, which was opened with a big Hole, turned into Light Spots all over the Sky, and then retreated backwards in the Sky.
At the same Time, Light Particle gathered in the Sky in the distance, and Yellow Monkey's Figure appeared again.
And the moment Yellow Monkey appeared, he released hundreds of Light Bullet towards Nicholas.
(End of this Chapter)
Chapter 445 Best Actor
Countless Light Bullets, like a net, enveloped Nicholas, sealing off all the Space around Nicholas where he could dodge.
However, for attacks of this Degree, Nicholas had no need to dodge at all.
His Eyes, flickering with Red Glow, merely glanced at the hundreds of Light Bullets flying towards him in the Sky.
Then, streaks of Lightning suddenly appeared in front of him, and in an instant, hundreds of Plasma Bullets, exactly the same as the Light Bullets fired by Kizaru, appeared in front of Nicholas, facing those hundreds of Light Bullets.
The next instant.
Plasma Bullets and Light Bullets collided in the Sky.
In the Explosion, each Plasma Bullet accurately collided with the incoming Light Bullet.
Continuous explosions echoed in the Sky.
Seeing this shocking Scene, Kizaru's Pupils involuntarily constricted.
Putting aside Nicholas's unreasonable Devil Fruit Ability, what was going on with this Observation Haki that defied Common Sense?
You must know that his Light Bullets were not slow attacks. From the moment he launched the Attack to the Attack hitting Nicholas, it was only a fraction of a second. Yet, in such a short Time, Nicholas's Observation Haki could accurately predict the number of Light Bullets and their Trajectory, and activate his Ability to create Plasma Bullets to intercept them.
However, he had no Time to think too much at this moment. Even if his Attack was neutralized by Nicholas, he had to at least maintain his offensive frequency.
After all, he had told Issho that he would hold Nicholas back.
Kizaru leaped into the High Sky, arms crossed, and dazzling Stars-like Radiance bloomed between his Hands.
Yasakani no Magatama!
Extremely penetrating Light Bullets instantly covered Nicholas from the Sky like a torrential Heavy Rain.
"Is it useful?"
Watching the dense rain of Light Bullets, enough to make onlookers' scalps tingle, fall down, Nicholas remained Composure.
Then, Lightning flickered around his Whole Body, and his Figure quickly disappeared into the Air.
Rumble rumble—
Dense explosions appeared on the Sea Surface like continuous Firework.
Mid-air.
Kizaru's Face was filled with solemnity.
His Light-like Speed, which he was so proud of, was difficult to gain an Advantage against Nicholas's Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and his Speed Advantage was also neutralized by Nicholas's terrifying Observation Haki.
Light Bullets condensed from Light Element, with powerful penetrating power, were completely ineffective against Nicholas's Observation Haki and Elementalization.
Correspondingly, his Laser Attack, which made countless Pirates tremble with fear, seemed to have lost its original Power in front of Nicholas.
However, the only thing to be thankful for was that while he could not do anything to Nicholas, Nicholas could not do anything to him either.
After all, the fastest Light would not be easily killed.
"Here it comes!"
Muttering in his heart, Kizaru saw Nicholas, transformed into Lightning, break through the Barrage constructed by his Yasakani no Magatama, and he immediately became fully alert.
Facing Kizaru, Nicholas also felt a little Trouble. After all, if Kizaru was determined to kite him, it would be really disgusting.
So, to deal with Kizaru, he had to find a way to solve his proud Speed Advantage.
"Lightning Net!"
As Nicholas's Words fell, in the Space around Kizaru, streaks of Lightning suddenly appeared, and then amidst the loud Thunder, countless Lightning bolts appeared from the Space around Kizaru and compressed towards Kizaru.
"Light is not so easily trapped."
As the Words fell, Kizaru's Figure turned into a Light Beam, quickly breaking through the Restraint of the Thunder Net and appearing in the Distant Sky.
Looking at the Germa Fleet that was about to be destroyed by the Meteorite, Kizaru showed a hateful Smile on his Face.
"Nicholas, you don't have much Time left."
"Dorag, North Blue, Pantarayna"
As Nicholas's Words fell, the Smile on Kizaru's Face suddenly froze.
…
At this moment.
The Meteorite summoned by Issho was about to smash into Germa on the Sea.
Judge couldn't care about the Gap in Strength between him and Fujitora anymore. He directly led Vinsmoke Ichiji and his two Brothers, wearing Germa Special Combat Suit, to charge towards Fujitora. The Gap in Strength made Fujitora's dealing with them just like an adult teaching children a Lesson.
"You fellow, do you want to kill the innocent People on Germa?"
Seeing that he couldn't beat Fujitora, Judge immediately began psychological warfare. After all, Germa had collected Intelligence on many of Fujitora's Actions in the North Blue.
"Innocent? In the War Castle of Germa 66, besides those Artificial Soldier you created with Technology, are there any other Ordinary People? Moreover, for those Pitiful Weapons who were created by you and born to be Warriors, Death may not be a Solution."
Just as both sides were taking Action.
The Meteorite falling to the Ground suddenly and inexplicably stopped in Mid-air, or rather, it was held up by some invisible Power.
The sudden Change caused the atmosphere in the Battlefield to stagnate.
Fujitora and Judge both looked at the Meteorite that was still in the Sky.
This Means…
Fujitora frowned, then looked towards the Battlefield between Nicholas and Borsalino.
There, the Battle between the two had stopped, and Borsalino was frowning tightly at this time.
Nicholas was slowly walking towards this Battlefield from the Sky.
And with Nicholas's Footsteps.
The Meteorite, which was still in Mid-air, slowly fell towards the Grand Line at a slow Speed.
At that Speed, these Meteorites would have no other Effect other than causing Waves to rise in the Seawater.
Soon Nicholas arrived opposite Fujitora.
"Issho, give me Face, the Vinsmoke Family is still useful to me."
As Nicholas spoke, he looked at Issho.
Above the Battlefield.
Kizaru's Complexion was uncertain, after all, the Person Names and Place Names Nicholas mentioned during the fight made it impossible for him not to care.
Issho's Pale Eyes stared at Nicholas, and his Right Hand slowly tightened around the Sword Hilt.
Although he had recognized Nicholas and agreed with his approach.
But—
The process that should be followed still had to be followed.
Both sides knew this in their hearts.
A Long Sword suddenly appeared in Nicholas's Palm, and he held the Long Sword in his Hand.
Then he directly swung the Sword, and a Giant cylindrical Slash roared and swept towards Issho.
The moment Nicholas made a move, Issho also directly backhanded and held the Cane Sword, and then the Cane Sword, filled with Purple Ripple, accurately blocked the cylindrical Slash.
The Blade Edge with Purple Ripple collided fiercely with the white cylindrical Shockwave.
The white Energy Wave that erupted from it and the Purple Ripple entwined on Issho's Blade Edge constantly confronted each other in the Sky.
Feeling the Power coming from his Hand, Issho was silent for a moment, then suddenly exerted Strength and resolved Nicholas's Slash.
"Hell Journey!"
Immediately afterwards, Issho raised the Wrist of his Hand holding the Cane Sword and flipped it, holding the Sword Hilt in a positive grip, and slashed directly towards Nicholas's Position.
A dark Purple Blade Light flashed and disappeared.
The large-Range Gravity Circle that was created out of thin Air forcibly pressed out a cylindrical void thousands of meters deep on the Grand Line.
Just as Nicholas was about to continue to Attack, as if he had noticed Anything, he directly took half a step back. At the same Time Nicholas retreated, a Laser fell directly from the Sky.
Then, Nicholas looked up at Borsalino in the Sky.
"Oh, have you made a decision?..."
Red Glow kept fluctuating in Nicholas's Eyes, obviously seeing something different.
Nicholas then directly swung his Sword and slashed at Issho.
Facing Nicholas's Slash, Issho raised his Sword to prepare to parry.
However, before he could resist, a Light Sword composed of Light Particle had already appeared in front of him, firmly parrying Nicholas's Attack.
"You are really a troublesome Weapon, but don't forget, there are two of us here."
As Kizaru's Words fell, Fujitora's Cane Sword also slashed towards Nicholas from the side.
A tacitly understood performance begins!
However, the only difference is that Borsalino and Issho are acting with each other.
(End of this Chapter)
Chapter 446 Defeated King
While Nicholas, Issho, and Borsalino were putting on a show, the battle between Hawkeye and King also reached its final decisive moment.
Whoosh!
The Flame burning on King's shoulders suddenly extinguished, while the Flame igniting on the Samurai Longsword he held tightly in his hand burned even more intensely.
Hawkeye, on the other hand, maintained his sword-holding stance, calmly watching King in front of him who was wielding a Flame Longsword, with no intention of making the first move.
For him, he didn't care if King launched an attack first, as he was confident he could receive any attack the opponent launched. At the same time, he also hoped King's Strength wouldn't disappoint him too much.
Seeing Hawkeye's confidence, a red Light flickered in King's eyes.
So-called confidence, if taken too far, can turn into arrogance.
And in Battle, arrogance is a flaw that can lead to death at any moment.
Similarly, there was one point King was unwilling to admit, which was that the opponent wasn't arrogant, but truly confident in being able to handle his attacks.
Shaking off the jumbled Thoughts in his mind, King pointed the Samurai Longsword in his hand diagonally in front of him.
Then, he suddenly took a step, his semi-beastified claw heavily stomping on the Deck.
Bang!
The Deck underfoot suddenly shattered.
The Wings spread out on King's back suddenly retracted.
The suddenly erupted Power and Speed caused King's Figure to even vanish instantly.
The next moment.
King reappeared in Figure above Hawkeye.
At the same time as his Figure reappeared, the Flame Longsword in King's hand, wrapped in Armament Haki, struck directly at Hawkeye's Head from a tricky Angle.
"Speed is not bad."
Looking at King's Attack, Hawkeye said calmly. Obviously, although King's Speed was already very fast, for him, his terrifying eyesight that could clearly capture the Trajectory of Swords and Observation Haki had already clearly discerned King's Attack Trajectory.
With just a slight exertion of force underfoot, a back jump easily avoided King's Slash.
And while jumping back, Hawkeye also directly launched a Strike Slash.
A condensed Slash Wave arrived In front of King Instantly.
King Instantly realized the danger, but being in the Sky, he clearly didn't have Time to dodge. Almost in an instant, the Flame on King's shoulders suddenly burned fiercely, and then he took this Slash Wave head-on.
After neutralizing the Attack, the Wing behind King also flapped violently, and then his whole Person instantly soared into the Sky.
Hawkeye looked up at King flying towards the Sky, and then continuously unleashed Slashes with the Black Blade Night in his hand.
Suddenly, Flying Slashes that soared into the Sky, with an непрерывный momentum, rushed straight from below towards King who was flapping his Wings and flying towards the Sky.
It was also at this Time that King realized he had done something stupid.
Although creating Distance for a Swordsman like Hawkeye made it difficult for his own Swordsmanship to exert its Power, the Slash Wave Power unique to a Great Swordsman was equally terrifying.
Not having Time to think more, King flapped his Wings, avoiding the green Slash Waves that were rapidly slashing from the Ground.
"How can this Weapon's Strength be so strong, but we can't continue like this..."
King's Figure constantly dodged and weaved in the Sky, evading the Slash Waves that kept slashing at him.
After once again dodging the Slash flying from below, King in Pterodactyl Form retracted his giant Wings, and like an arrow released from a bowstring, pounced towards Hawkeye below.
King pushed Observation Haki to its limit, successively dodging Hawkeye's Attacks.
Looking at King pouncing straight at him, Hawkeye remained Calm, as if nothing could shake his heart.
"Relying on Speed, Armament Haki, and the bonus of Race Talent, if I hit that Weapon head-on, he's finished!"
Harboring such a Thought, King used the Impact Force formed by high-Speed flight and crashed straight into Hawkeye.
Facing the aggressive King.
Hawkeye showed no intention of dodging at all.
But just as King was rapidly approaching, suddenly a Scene below made his Gaze freeze.
He saw black and red Electric Arcs appearing on the Black Blade Night in Hawkeye's hand below. He was very clear about that unique phenomenon, it was a special phenomenon that only appeared through the manifestation of Conqueror's Haki.
The black and red Electric Arcs constantly danced on the Blade of the Black Blade Night, but Hawkeye didn't seem to care at all, as if this was just a Normal phenomenon.
And this Scene made King, who was originally accelerating towards him, forcibly stop his forward momentum, completing a perfect stop in the Sky.
After all, this was a bit too damn scary, and King also knew that the Strength of an Opponent with Conqueror's Haki and an Opponent without Conqueror's Haki was completely different.
And although King stopped, it didn't mean Hawkeye would stop.
Along with the exertion of force underfoot, Hawkeye instantly soared into the Sky.
At the same time, the Black Blade Night in his hand, wrapped in Conqueror's Haki, also directly reverse-slashed towards the Pterodactyl in the Sky.
Facing Hawkeye's Attack, in haste, King could only brace himself to receive it.
Facing King's Claw covered in Armament Haki that struck towards him, Hawkeye merely made a seemingly ordinary swing of his Sword, using the Blade of the Black Sword wrapped in Conqueror's Haki to Slash at King's Claw.
Clang!
The moment the Black Blade Night and the Pterodactyl Claw made contact, a sound of metal clashing was emitted.
Immediately afterwards, King suddenly only felt his Claw go numb, and then, he could no longer Feel the Existence of his Claw.
Before he could React.
King's peripheral vision caught sight of a somewhat familiar Claw covered in Armament Haki streaking across the Sky, falling straight towards the Grand Line.
Then, a large amount of Blood spurted out from the Wound of the Severed Limb.
"What?!"
King, who hadn't fully Reacted, suddenly had a change in Complexion.
In his Observation Haki perception, Hawkeye's Attack was not over yet.
After Hawkeye's Long Sword severed King's Claw, it swept across King's Chest like a gazelle hanging its horns.
Puchi!
King didn't have Time to defend, and was hit by the Slash. The sharp Black Sword instantly caused a huge Blood Flower to bloom on his Chest.
The Things that happened in just a few seconds left King stunned for a moment.
His Gaze, somewhat blank, passed through the Blood Flowers scattered all over the Sky, and just as it landed on Kaido in the distance who was battling the Giant Buddha, his Body fell towards the Grand Line as if out of Control.
Bang!
The Sea Surface shattered with a roar, splashing up a large amount of Wave.
King, covered in Blood, slowly sank towards the Deep Sea.
Looking at the Sea Surface gradually receding, King's eyes were full of unwillingness.
After all, he had not yet helped Kaido ascend to the only Throne on the Grand Line.
And just as he was gradually losing Consciousness, in his blurred Line of Sight, he suddenly saw dozens of Figures leaping down from the Sea Surface, swimming rapidly towards him.
...
"Lord Jin actually lost!!!"
"How could this be..."
Seeing King defeated, the faces of the surviving Beasts Pirates Member completely revealed Despair.
In a short Time, Queen and King were Defeat one after another. Now, the only one remaining was Kaido, who was entangled with Sengoku. It could be said that the Beasts Pirates were finished.
Originally, in their view, as King of the Beasts Pirates, whose Strength was second only to Kaido, even if he couldn't defeat the joint forces of two Seven Warlords of the Sea, he should at least be able to hold them back for a while, right?
In this way.
They might still have enough Opportunity to escape.
But the result was—
King, on whom they had placed high Hope, was actually defeated so quickly.
It could be said that now, apart from Borsalino and Issho in the Germa Battlefield, and Sengoku who was battling Boss Kaido, the Marine could completely free up their hands to thoroughly wipe them out.
Thinking of this, some Pirates who were more confident in their Strength directly jumped into the Grand Line, intending to find a glimmer of Life in the Grand Line, after all, compared to Impel Down, the Grand Line was still gentler.
