I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 364 Another Use of Teleportation

"Yu, I heard that fighting has broken out again in the southern seas?"

"That's right, you're interested?"

Putting down her pen, You, who was contemplating 'strategic deployment', looked up.

In front of his desk were Sora and Akira, who had come together: Nao had rushed to the scene to deal with the situation because her family business had been affected; as for Nagisa Ichiyo, she was a true traditional young lady, good at handling domestic affairs, but not so good at fighting.

"We're always letting Yura run around by herself, and you can't leave Tokyo anyway, so we're just sitting around doing nothing."

Seeing that You was getting busy, Qiongmei pulled Xiaoying along to 'share the burden' for him.

Even though two Tiger-class battleships can't offer much help, it's better than doing nothing, right?
"You've been a huge help!"

"You guys switch to your clones, I'll send you there."

Yu was quite pleased. Luffy was a true genius who would fight to the death. He would open the Eight Gates as soon as he met an enemy, and his proficiency was skyrocketing. He had already opened the fifth gate. But this was only his burst mode. When he fought Teach, who had two bloodstains, he could gain the upper hand at first, but he would eventually lose.

So Yu was having a headache just now, wondering who to send to save the day.

Qiongmei and Xiaoying were willing to help, which saved a lot of trouble.

Like Wood Release, Lava Release is a fusion of Earth and Water, and there is no mutual restraint between them. However, it can be countered by Sora's Lightning + Earth Explosion Release.

However, Wood Release, which combines Earth and Water, counters Boil Release, which combines Water and Fire: in other words, Sora and Akane are exactly able to counter Teach's dual bloodline limits.

If the two of them go to the rescue, at least it can guarantee that Luffy won't be killed on the spot:
Very few people can successfully increase their proficiency in the Eight Gates Formation.

"Xiao Ying, come here~~"

Seeing Yu's spirits lift, Qiong and Xiaoying couldn't help but feel happy. The two went straight to the small room next to the principal's office: it was Yu's personal room, which also contained the Yamanaka family's remote control magic circle, as well as Qiong and Xiaoying's secret clones.

Soon, amidst the tinkling of wind chimes, two mysterious figures dressed in black with red clouds and wearing straw hats with wind chimes emerged.

"You're in charge of that battlefield over there."

With a wave of Yu's hand, Qiong Mei and Xiao Ying, who were ready, appeared.
No, it should be that the Akatsuki members 'Blue' and 'Black' disappeared.

Limasava Island
After opening the 'Five Gates', Luffy, with his skin turning crimson and his hair standing on end, flashed and appeared behind Teach with the speed of teleportation.

"Five-gun Fire Fist Machine Guns!"

With a single punch, the boy's entire arm vanished into a blur.

What appeared to be just one punch was actually hundreds of punches delivered in an instant: each flaming fist was clearly visible to all the onlookers. Despite having only one arm, Luffy seemed to possess dozens or even hundreds of arms in that instant.

The flames weren't Luffy's ability; they were simply proof that the air was ignited by his powerful and fast punches!

Countless fiery fists roared out, as dense as a sudden rainstorm and as fast as meteors, carrying a thunderous roar like a thousand troops moving in unison and ten thousand horses galloping, overwhelming Teach.

It can already be considered a weaker version of 'Morning Peacock' for ordinary people.

"Black Mage!"

Boom boom boom boom boom boom!!
The thunderous sound was deafening, and the raging flames and fists exploded one after another, leaving huge fist imprints on the black mud.

The enormous 'Teach' that had just risen from the ground was blasted into an abstract painting on the spot, just like clay!

Unfortunately, the Earth element is known for its solidity, and while Luffy's attacks were powerful, they were too scattered.

"Hahaha~~"

"As expected, you are the most talented man in this sea area!"

Blasted into abstract art by 'Fire Fist', Teach's voice came from within the Black Mud Giant.

“Luffy, if it’s about talent, I can’t even see your back; that’s why I never insist on hard training.”

Teach's figure was revealed through the melting chest of the black mud giant.

In fact, he also worked very hard behind the scenes, but he was different from geniuses like Luffy who broke through in battle and advanced between life and death.
Teach's talent is clearly not that great: besides, he is a professor in his forties, not some hot-blooded teenager, and neither his mentality nor his physique is enough to support him to have a breakout performance.

"Defeat me before my dual abilities!"

With a puff of his cheeks, he exhaled, and a white mist shot towards Luffy like a supersonic arrow.

"White Annihilation Arrow!"

"Danger!"

"Get out of the way—"

On the ruined dock, Zorro and Sanji, covered in wounds, shouted a reminder.

The battle had been going on for more than ten minutes, and all the ordinary people, no, even the ordinary wolf-level superhumans, had withdrawn from the battlefield and hidden in the center of the island.

Even the superhumans who remained suffered heavy casualties: there was no way around it, as both the incredibly sticky black mud and the white mist that drifted everywhere possessed terrifying corrosiveness; let alone steel buildings, even superhumans protected by 'spiritual power' could not withstand it.

Even Luffy, the main force, was running out of energy due to the long battle.

Luffy was about to be hit by the white mist arrow—

"Grow."

Amidst the calm sounds, enormous vines burst forth from the ground, blocking Luffy's path.

Pfft

The white arrow struck the vine, instantly corroding and piercing it.

But that was enough: using the vines as cover, Luffy stepped into the air and instantly reappeared behind him.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh,"

With rapid, bellows-like breathing, Ruf knelt on the ground and raised his head.

"You are?"

“Luffy, these two are important figures in the Akatsuki organization.”

"Thank you for your help, sir."

Covered in corroded scars, Luffy was leaped over by Zorro and Sanji; they helped him up while subtly protecting him behind them.

In the sky, dressed in a black robe with red clouds and a wind chime hat, this was the mysterious and extraordinary force known as the 'Akatsuki'.

But whether the other party is friend or foe, or even human, is another question!

After all, Teach had previously claimed that he had a close relationship with the Akatsuki.

There was a mysterious, serpentine figure dressed like this who had been by his side; however, when Teach betrayed everyone, that mysterious figure escaped first.

"Let him get treatment first,"

Xiaoying, wearing a fox mask, fixed her gaze on Luffy;

His "occupational hazard" kicked in, and he habitually raised his hand, remotely casting a "palm magic" on the other party.

“Teach,”

Meanwhile, the other mysterious person with the hoarse voice fixed his gaze on the dark-skinned, fat man.

"To betray humanity, damn it, um."

The worst thing was making my brother look like he was frowning and thinking.

"Master Qing,"

Teach, having abandoned his arrogance in the face of these two elusive and mysterious figures, adopted a defensive stance, his body swirling with black mud.

"I don't want to be your enemy; I'm just carrying out the task assigned to me by Paper Dancer."

"Please give me some face, let's coexist peacefully, okay?"

"face?"

Standing on a white flying horse in the air, the mysterious man codenamed 'Blue' looked down from his hat and collar.

"Just you?"

Who do you think you are?

The next second, Qiong Mei stopped talking nonsense and white doves flew out from her outstretched palm.

"Let me show you my art, hmm."

Boom boom boom boom! ! !
White doves flew down, and suddenly a series of violent explosions erupted around Teach.

This so-called art left the remaining superhumans on the battlefield speechless.

"You two, help Luffy over here."

In the sea beside the dock, a giant monster made of water emerges from the surface; inside the monster is a little girl named Annie, whose long hair has turned into six conch shells hanging down her back, with pointed ears and golden fish scales on her face, waving.

Having learned her lesson from being betrayed last time, Annie jumped into the sea as soon as the battle began.

Don't forget, she is essentially one of the 'Sea Kingdom'.

It can also transform, and being in the sea is like coming home: its strength, speed, and ability to perform are greatly enhanced.

And its biggest advantage is underwater breathing.

Otherwise, a 'doctor' like her would definitely be the first to be killed in a war.

"The Sea of ​​Trees has descended!"

Just as Zorro and Sanji were helping Luffy, who had exited the 'Five Gates' state and was completely limp, to the beach for treatment, the two 'mysterious men' who had taken over the battlefield were already engaged in a fierce battle with Teach.

The earth churned, and giant vines burst forth from the ground, coiling around Teach.

"Blackwater!"

Tichy was not to be outdone.
The black mud gushed out from underfoot and rushed toward the forest.

The forest and the black mud collided! Overall, the black mud had the upper hand, corroding, knocking down, and submerging the giant vines.

Regardless, Teach is a Demon-level being; both are Bloodline Limit users, so it's a matter of who has stronger 'spiritual power' and who will be the stronger one.

If it were just Xiaoying alone, she would definitely suffer a loss. However:
"C2 Dragon!"

Atop the winged horse hovering in the air, a mysterious figure with a hoarse voice raised his palm.

A 'miniature dragon' shaped like a human head flew out of her palm, growing rapidly in the wind until it became a colossal creature over ten meters long. Then, it swooped down and pounced on Teach in the black mud.

?

The opponent's ability is to create various white objects, which then explode.

Teach had known this all along.

and--

The power of an explosion is directly proportional to the size of the object it creates!

The 'dragon' in front of him was over ten meters long, and its power was naturally incomparable to the previous ones. Teach did not dare to be careless and immediately sent a large amount of black mud surging towards him.

As Teach brought his hands together, a large amount of black mud immediately surged upwards and converged, transforming into a huge hemispherical defensive wall.

"Blackwater defense barrier!"

boom------

Almost simultaneously, the white dragon suddenly exploded.

The world suddenly became only black and white: white was the light of an explosion, and black was the churning mud!
In an instant, the entire dock shook violently, like a magnitude 7 earthquake. The ground was blasted open everywhere, and hot, expanding black mud, like towering lava, gushed out from the cracks. The two bloodline limits were in fierce conflict and turmoil.

The shockwave swept across the battlefield, spreading to the sea and creating towering waves!
The corroded and rusty ships moored by the dock were immediately tossed and turned by the impact of the explosion, like leaves in a torrent.

The flames from the explosion grew ever more intense, eventually transforming into a towering pillar of fire, visible for miles around, incredibly thick and tall, shooting straight into the sky. In an instant, fiery clouds blazed across the blue sky, forming a 'fire cloud' that covered an area of ​​several miles, creating a magnificent and awe-inspiring spectacle!

In stark contrast, the flames on the ground went out as quickly as if they had run out of fuel, even faster than a sudden downpour.

What's even stranger is that the dust in the air quickly disappeared, and the entire space became incredibly 'clean,' which made Qiong Mei frown.

This wasn't her doing; it was caused by the other party's abilities.

"Hehehe~~ Your explosion contained countless tiny explosions, right?"

Using the power of 'Boil Release', the explosion was pushed into the sky, revealing Teach standing in a small amount of black mud.

“Any ability that has been used will leave a trace.”

With the invention and widespread use of cameras, modern "ghost stories" such as the "Bermuda Triangle," "Loch Ness Monster," "pyramids," and "crystal skulls" have long since disappeared without a trace.

So-called "locked room murders," "set-up traps," and "counter-surveillance techniques" are all jokes in front of cameras.

The same applies to extraordinary abilities!
Once used, it will be captured by countless devices, and then repeatedly studied, analyzed, and key information will be extracted.

"If it's the first time you've encountered this, it's easy to fall for it."

Teach looked smug.
However, it was the Teach Pirates who first encountered the 'flying dragon'!

The electronic devices carried by his men, as well as the traces left on the battlefield, gave Teach a hunch about the abilities of these two mysterious members of the Akatsuki.

"I see, hmm."

After hearing what the other party said, the mysterious person in the air remained calm, but inwardly he was already feeling a bit panicked.

What's the next step? Should I use my clones to self-destruct?
"My lords—"

Just as Qiongmei was pondering her next move, a loud shout rang out.

On the edge of the battlefield stood a disheveled young man with a tattered suit, worn-out sunglasses, and blond hair; he was Roman, the patriarch of the Cervantes family.

This battlefield environment, where water is everywhere, is practically invincible for him: if he can't win, he can at least run away.
But with his enemy at hand, he was unwilling and did not want to escape!
"Please restrain that guy for a few seconds,"

"I can take him down!"

?

"Hahaha~~ You think you're all that good for running away?"

Teach laughed when he heard Roman's words.

Aside from his 'teleportation' ability to catch people, this Cervantes family member is just ordinary in other aspects. What can you use to kill him?
Are these guns only good for tickling superhumans?

"it is good,"

The mysterious person wearing the fox mask, Xiao Ying, didn't think much of it and instead raised her hand to aim at Teach from afar.

"Bound by the tree for eternal burial!"

Swoosh,

Several roots suddenly grew out from under Teach's feet and tightly wrapped around him.

"Hey, you'll break free soon."

With a hissing sound, black mud emerged from Teach's body.

brush,

However, at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was Roman!

"Come on, I'll stand right here—?!"

Before Teach could finish his boastful words, his pupils suddenly contracted!
Because Roman actually pulled out a scroll from his pocket, and with a flick of his hand, a 'missile' emerged from the scroll.

The missile bears three black and yellow fan-shaped markings that are chilling.

"Go to hell!"

Amidst Roman's sinister grin, his figure flashed and vanished without a trace.

All that remained were the falling nuclear bombs and Teach, whose face had changed drastically, entangled in vines and unable to break free for the time being.

Next second,
There was no sound.

Only the intense light that penetrates everything and the high temperature that melts everything can suddenly spread into a huge sphere.

A shockwave that tore everything apart swept out, completely engulfing and swallowing the entire dock. All remaining buildings collapsed instantly. Cars on the shore and boats in the water were all turned into duckweed, tumbling, flying, and burning in the air, leaving only their frames. The atmosphere wailed, the earth trembled, and the sea roared, enduring unimaginable pain.

The entire dock vanished in the fireball, and a massive mushroom cloud stretched across the sky!
"Mmm, it's truly art~~"

As she was swept away by the shockwave, Qiong Mei couldn't help but exclaim: This time it wasn't just 'showing off her character,' it was genuine amazement.

Teleporting and dropping nuclear bombs... To be honest, the battles of these superhumans truly opened her eyes.
