Chapter 338 Achievements in Learning

Bandahai,
The British aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth, leading a Royal Navy fleet, is currently patrolling these waters.

This aircraft carrier has only been in service for seven years, and its full-length flight deck, angled flight deck, steam catapults, landing lights, and jet aircraft are all displays of 'new era' weaponry.

If the northern defense line at the Maluku Sea falls, then this will be the last line of defense leading to Australia. However, the real purpose of this line of defense is to determine whether Australia has begun a large-scale evacuation.

Currently, factories across Australia are operating 24/7 in three shifts to continuously supply various materials to the front lines.

If we can't hold this place either, then pessimistically speaking, we can only pray for God to intervene.

In the command room of the Queen Elizabeth,

The commander of the multinational coalition breathed a long-awaited sigh of relief as he looked at the screen.

Located on either side of the Maluku Strait, the islands of North Sulawesi and North Maluku block the Nine-Tails' southward advance. The allied forces have deployed a million troops on these two islands, but no one is certain whether they can stop the Nine-Tails' forces.

Now their hearts were finally at ease, because island nations and non-Liberty people with extraordinary abilities had joined the battle, keeping the front line in the Maluku Sea.

Who are these three mysterious people?

In addition to the costly recruitment of the non-concierge 'Seven Warlords of the Sea,' three other mysterious figures dressed in the same manner appeared on the battlefield.

The two were engaged in a fierce battle with the 'Blood Hakama clone', while one of them was entangled with the 'Sea Serpent'.

If it weren't for them, the coalition forces wouldn't have had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief right now.

"It is Jiu Kong Yao Ai who has entangled the 'Sea Serpent'!"

An intelligence officer immediately saluted and replied.
Jiu Kong Yao Ai's abilities are too obvious: venomous snakes, a sea of ​​snakes, giant snakes, and super-giant snakes. Whether in size or quantity, they are unparalleled in the extraordinary world. Even if she changed into a black robe with red clouds and a wind chime hat, anyone who isn't blind can still recognize her true identity.

This outfit had no meaning for her to 'hide her identity'; it was just for looking good and having fun.

"The world's most wanted criminal!"

"A $50 billion bounty,"

"The person who brought out the strongest 'wizard' in the history of the island nation."

In the command center, high-ranking officials from various countries muttered to themselves, "As for 'Nine Sky Shakes Love,' not to mention them, it can be said that the whole world is a true household name!"
The Abe no Seimei she brought up almost escalated into a 'disaster' that destroyed the sacred tree, destroyed Tokyo, then the island nation, and then spread to destroy the world.

It can be said that the 'infamy' that Jiu Kong Yao Ai carries surpasses that of anyone throughout history!

Even a certain leader felt inferior: after all, even a leader cannot destroy the world.

Moreover, at that time, the means of obtaining information were still limited to newspapers—not everyone had the qualifications or time to understand the international situation, and most ordinary people simply followed the crowd.

In modern times, even in the poorest and most backward places, everyone has a smartphone: billions of people are aware of the existence of Jiu Kong Yao Ai.

Mentioning Jiu Kong Yao Ai instantly generates thousands or even tens of thousands of replies: a deluge of insults and curses.

If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't have been able to handle it!
That is, the kind of love that is like Nine Empty Shakes:
His personality, which was characterized by "What does the destruction of the world have to do with me?", remained completely unaffected.

"In any case, it seems that she is on the side of humanity for now, so let's just pretend we don't know her true identity."

"Be careful to control the network. The 'mysterious person' who rides the giant snake and 'Nine Sky Shakes Love' have absolutely no connection!"

In any case, there are countless myths from various countries that are related to 'snakes'.

With just a little guidance, this mysterious person can be separated from 'Nine Void Shaking Love': when faced with someone who stands up to resist the Nine-Tailed Demon, ordinary people would never want him to be a wanted criminal, but would rather believe that he is a 'god' from some place or some place descending to earth to save people.

Speaking of gods—

"This mysterious person is very likely related to the island nation's 'God of Fertility'."

Someone pointed to several other screens, which showed the defensive lines of Balamogan County.

A long sea of ​​flowers separated the battlefield, clearly dividing it into two parts: one side was the Allied Forces, and the other side was the Demon Tide.

A gigantic white dragon soared through the sky, with explosions, flames, and gusts of wind constantly erupting around it: two mysterious figures on the dragon's back were battling the 'Blood Hood Clone'.

Below the fierce magical battle, allied soldiers were braving the aftershocks of the battle to 'rescue' the demon!

That's right, the big shots in the sky are fighting, while the soldiers below are carrying things.

Frontline soldiers and commanders alike would not miss such an opportunity to gain 'military merits' for free: only extraordinary medicine can allow people to take control of their own destiny in this era.

As for being killed by the aftershocks?
Hey, just consider it bad luck and a natural disaster.
"This ability to force 'trees' to grow, along with the fox mask on the other person's face, all point to that person:"

The Inari deity of the island nation, 'Mikanzu'!
"So, this is the messenger of the god of abundance?"

"I don't know. Based on the information we've gathered, that 'White Lord' doesn't seem to be the type to actively help humans."

"So, there are new 'believers' of the God of Abundance walking in this sea area?"

Was it for missionary work, or for something else?
As for the mysterious person who piloted the 'flying dragon,' the allied forces had no clue.

The reason is simple: Sora is a homebody!
She has almost no combat record, and coupled with the island nation's intelligence blockade, other countries have no idea what abilities she possesses, let alone associate her with anything. For the allied forces, all they know is that this mysterious figure seems to be skilled in explosive magic.

It does resemble modern technology in some ways, but its explosive power and agility are quite remarkable.

It appears to be evenly matched with that 'blood-clad clone'.

However, this is not actually the case.

Balamogan County Town

"how come."

What appeared to be an evenly matched battle to outsiders was actually a serious expression on the face of the mysterious man, Qing, beneath his bamboo hat.

Her 'clay spell' was suppressed by the opponent!
They are all 'clones', and their strength is all Tiger-level.

but--

"Little baby, even between clones, there are differences."

A 'blood-clad clone' in wide robes and sleeves drifted over, surrounded by a dozen or so lightning orbs the size of human heads.

These lightning orbs continuously emitted electric light, attracting and flashing with each other, forming a sphere that enveloped the 'Blood Hakama clone,' with small explosions constantly occurring on the sphere.

Those were the 'miniature explosive spiders' released by Qiong Mei: these tiny explosives, as small as dust, can explode inside the respiratory system once they enter a creature's body, thus defeating even the most heavily armored creatures.

"Your techniques are indeed exquisite, but they lack versatility in dealing with enemies."

"Explosives alone cannot make one a true strongman."

As he lectured, Blood Hakama raised his hands.

"I have seen through the true nature of your technique. Next:"

In Blood Hakama's hands, a mini tornado howled through the air, while lightning flashed and thunder roared.

"Tornado!"

As Blood Hakama raised his hand and thrust it forward, the tornado that had been released suddenly expanded;

"Rain Gate!"

The lightning in his other hand was also pushed out and continued to spread.

"Thunder Fang Tornado—"

The two spells merged in mid-air, transforming into a giant tornado wreathed in lightning; it hurtled towards Qiongmei and Xiaoying, even pulling the white dragon so hard that it shook violently, unable to break free despite flapping its wings and spewing out 'explosive breath'.

The essence of Explosion Release is Earth + Lightning, so it is countered by Wind + Lightning;
Although 'Blood Hakama' does not possess the bloodline limit 'Tai-eun', it can simulate similar ninjutsu using dual ninjutsu without any problems.

? !
"Azure Sky, land!"

In the critical moment, Xiao Ying shouted and crouched down to slap the white flying dragon on the back.

"Wooden Dragon Art!"

Thick roots emerged from the 'white dragon's' body, spreading rapidly and covering the dragon's entire body in the blink of an eye, forming a giant wooden 'armor'.

At the same time, the green 'armored dragon' landed on the ground, and a large number of roots spread out to the ground, firmly fixing it in place.

"Roar!" Facing the lightning and wind, the green dragon roared and chose to take the hit head-on.

The way they dealt with it was actually pretty good.

The person controlling this 'blood-clad clone' nodded secretly.

"Alright, let's see how long you can hold out."

'Blood Hakama Clone' snorted coldly, and changed the spell in his hand again.

Practical training continues!

Bitong County Town,
Compared to someone personally taking charge of 'micromanagement', the battles in other places are much wilder.

"what?!"

"Oh no! The master's snake has been possessed!"

Everyone was overjoyed as they watched the giant python drag the 'sea serpent' ashore, believing victory was assured. However, the next second, the impatient 'sea serpent' opened its mouth and spewed out a large amount of black mist, enveloping both of them.

When the black mist dissipated, only a gigantic python, completely black, remained.
It swelled to a terrifying behemoth over 1,500 meters tall, raised its head and roared to the sky, its two jet-black fangs like mountains.

? ?
"I was careless,"

Not to mention the others who were both surprised and angry, even Jiu Kong Yao Ai, who was dressed as a mysterious person, was slightly stunned, but she quickly came to her senses.

What is the nature of sea serpents?
The answer is:
Evil spirit!

That's right, the true nature of this nine-tailed demon is an evil spirit.

This can be inferred from his immunity to all modern weapons, even nuclear bombs.

At the same time, the 'sea serpent' will continuously devour the souls of those who die in battle, making it a truly extraordinary being that once it falls into its mouth, one will never be able to reincarnate.

What is the most prominent characteristic of evil spirits?
The answer is:
Possessed!

It's just that in the past, there was nothing worthy of the 'sea serpent' possessing.

Boom, boom! ! !

Possessed within the super python, or rather, the 'super, super, super giant monster' formed by the fusion of the two raised its head and, like a mountain range, crushed down upon Jiu Kong Yao Ai in the city.

This?
Faced with the monster that was crushing towards them, the golden eyes under the straw hat narrowed.

"Hmph, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

If they were to leave, the colossal monster before them wouldn't be able to stop Jiu Kong Yao Ai.

But after encountering many extraordinary experts, Jiu Kongyaoai realized that running away was not the way to truly become stronger.

Especially after swallowing the previous piece of 'Yamata no Kami's Remains', the near-out-of-control experience reminded her: next time, she wouldn't be so lucky.

"So what if it possesses my creation?"

Leaping off the rooftop, the Nine Sky Shaking Love, which had been expanding wildly in mid-air, transformed into a thousand-meter-long giant python and crashed heavily into the city.

boom------

The body of the kilometer-long python fell, instantly crushing skyscrapers, streets, and vehicles into dust and fragments.

"I'll devour you!"

Personally transforming herself into a thousand-meter-long giant python, Jiu Kong Yao Ai began a fierce battle with the 'sea serpent' possessing the super python she had created.

In fact, to deal with such large monsters, those skilled in wide-area attack spells should be brought in: a spell covering a wide area can cause a monster a thousand meters long to take hundreds of times more damage than a normal-sized one.

However, Jiu Kong Yao Ai did not control any other spells, and under normal circumstances, there should not be anything larger than her.

Jiu Kong, who always bullies others with his enormous size, is encountering an enemy even larger than himself for the first time.

The most troublesome thing is that she is facing her own creation plus the sea serpent!

They actually lost the battle.
the other side:
Glug,

He tilted his head back and drank a bottle of 'Hero's Water', grabbed a handful of 'Devil Fruits' and stuffed them into his mouth, then drank half a bottle of 'Mermaid Tears'. Immediately afterward, he took out a few talismans and stuck them on his chest. After a series of eating, drinking and consuming, and fully 'status-boosting' actions, Teach kicked off the ground.

call out---

He flew like a cannonball toward the two trembling behemoths.

"Lord Kong, I'm here to help you!"

boom!
It crashed hard into the 'sea serpent'.
Teach, brimming with spiritual energy, actually managed to break through the scales and armor; his hands, in claw form, dug deep into his flesh.

Originally, the 'sea serpent' had no concept of flesh and blood, but after possessing the giant python, it also gained the weakness of flesh and blood: Teach actually burrowed into the 'sea serpent''s body like a flesh-eating ant.

?

The enormous golden snake eyes swept over Teach's crazy actions, flashing a hint of surprise and a touch of admiration.

As a collaborator, they are certainly qualified.

"Come on, brothers!"

"Governor, we're coming too!"

With their leader fighting so hard, the extraordinary members of the Teach Pirates also shouted and rushed forward.

Next second,
boom------

A giant snake tail swept across, instantly shattering skyscrapers into countless fragments. White sonic booms spread out, crushing everything within a radius of hundreds of meters: not only buildings, but even the ground itself was scraped away!
Amidst the millions of tons of building debris, cement, soil, and mud flying everywhere, dozens of extraordinary individuals were dancing and gesturing wildly.

"Get out of my way, you useless lot!"

A somber voice echoed across the entire battlefield; this attack was not from the 'sea serpent'.

It was just the 'mysterious man's' casual tail-whipping.

"This is my battlefield!"

Ternat County Town

"Shielded Ebony Hat~~ Waaah,"

The 'sea monster,' standing over ten meters tall and covered in cloud-like patterns, was slammed down by a giant cat's paw, instantly exploding into a spray of water. The immense force crashed into the sea, creating towering waves tens of meters high on either side!
Meow~~?

The giant cat "Kuangzi", who has already learned to 'tread water', stood on the sea surface, raised its front paws and looked at it in confusion.

There was no little girl's body under his claws, because she had already been rescued.

"Be careful, this big cat is a demon-level monster."

On the other side of the sea, Roman, a young man in a suit, held a little girl named 'Annie' with a serious expression.

His 'Water Instant Technique' may make him appear and disappear without a trace on the sea surface, but what about his attack power? Is he really going to use a gun to tickle his opponent?
"Ocean current——"

At the same time, the sea was surging and churning, as if brewing something.

"Grab the artillery!"

The next second, a massive amount of seawater surged and roared out, transforming into a water column with a diameter of over ten meters, shooting towards the cat 'Photon'.

?

brush,

With a light leap, its massive body dodged the water column that could have blasted through a warship.

"The gap is too big,"

Old Man Song emerged from the sea. Even with their best efforts, they could only hold off the opponent. No, it was only because the giant cat was playing around.

I wonder what's going on with Luffy?
