I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 716 Bloom, Youth!

"Faster, faster, faster!"

At an altitude of 10,000 meters in the northeastern waters of the island nation, a state-of-the-art supersonic transport aircraft is speeding at full speed.
However, Iori Kazuka in the cockpit still felt it was too slow and impatiently urged the pilot to speed up, leaving the sweating pilot with no choice but to explain repeatedly in a helpless manner:

"General, this is already the maximum speed."

"Ms. Yihua,"

Sitting in the cabin, Chizuru Kagura calmly turned her head and looked towards the cockpit.

"Leave professional matters to professionals."

Flying an airplane is the pilot's job; but for them, it's preparing for the upcoming battle.

Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami were also present in the cabin: as the heads of the 'Three Sacred Treasures Family', dealing with the Eight Orochi Warriors was their job, and it was their duty.

The only difference is that the fight went from the 'demiplane' to the 'main world'.

Brush, ×2
Just then, Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami stood up.

"Attention! High-energy reaction ahead!"

"Attention, ahead."

At the same time, an alarm sounded in the cabin. Through the airplane window, one could see the clouds in front converging in one place, forming a huge swirling cloud.

The clouds gathered, rapidly turning from white to black from the outside in; dense lightning began to flash within them, clearly not normal natural weather!
Is it because the Sea Kingdom has no powerful individuals with the lightning attribute that the 'Raichu' possesses this ability?

"That's the battlefield!"

"Fly over there—"

???

Upon hearing Yi Hua's order, the pilots were stunned.

Would they fly over to such a place?
It will explode on the outside!

"Ms. Yihua, it's time to go."

Chizuru Kagura, who was at the tail of the plane, shouted, and only then did Ichika let the two unlucky pilots go.

Soon, four figures leaped out from the tail of the plane, with faint, dark blue 'wings' appearing behind them, and flew towards the lightning vortex cloud that covered dozens of kilometers.

Don't forget, Iori Kazuka was once the Metropolitan Police Department's ace, and she also learned the skill 'Uranium Light Wave Fist'.

Not commonly used.
It doesn't mean I don't know how to use it.

With the strength of the Three Sacred Treasures families,

Learning this technique of projecting spiritual energy is not difficult.

Pegasus, hang in there!

Suddenly looking up, Iori Kazuka, who was rushing to the battlefield, instinctively stopped.

"This is."

"Have the Eight Heroes become this strong?"

Even Chizuru Kagura, Kyo Kusanagi, and Iori Yagami couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.

In their eyes, the endless thunderclouds in the distance were converging towards the center of a massive vortex of clouds, eventually seemingly forming a pitch-black sphere!

Bering Sea,

Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble~~~!
The sky, which had been cleaved open by Pegasus's sword, was once again filled with rolling dark clouds.

The dark clouds that blotted out the sun spun rapidly overhead like a giant vortex: ice crystals collided rapidly within the clouds, causing charges to separate and forming a strong electric field that broke through the air's insulation, triggering a discharge phenomenon known as lightning.

The only one capable of doing this easily is, of course, the yellow-skinned rat in the sky.

"Don't you have any other skills?"

Before it stood Suzuka Gozen, supporting Ōtakemaru, and Tenma Nozomi, blocking its path.

It's terrifying that Ōtakemaru survived being ambushed and had his heart ripped out; he's persisted until now, but ultimately, he's running out of strength.

If Tianma wanted to leave, there wouldn't be a problem: she had the invincible 'Return to Heaven' technique, and the other side couldn't do anything about her, but simply leaving wasn't in her nature.

"Then let me use this to send you on your way!"

As Raichu proudly announced this, the rapidly spinning dark clouds covering the entire sky suddenly stopped, and even the dark color seemed to fade slightly.

This is not a sign that the attack is about to disappear, but a sign that the real ultimate move is about to arrive:

"Fall, Lei Ying!"

The next second, at the center of the swirling dark clouds, a pitch-black ball of lightning, hundreds of meters in diameter, broke through the clouds, with countless lightning bolts flashing and dancing within it, as if, no, it was a condensation of all the lightning in the entire world.

Killing Dog Cannon!
???

The giant, jet-black sphere slowly descended.

It was not fast at all, and it was even completely silent; but everyone who looked up and saw the black ball was too exhausted to even run away.

Putting aside its striking resemblance to the 'Virtual Dog Cannon', its sheer size alone evokes a sense of powerlessness: the helplessness of facing something beyond one's comprehension and feeling utterly helpless.

If this thing explodes,
Who among them could survive?
"Go! Go quickly—!!"

Throughout the entire battlefield, apart from Ah Long's desperate roars, neither side, which had already stopped fighting, moved.

The side of rare and exotic beasts naturally 'trusts' their leader's precise control capabilities;
As for the maritime nation:
"Do not be afraid. Even if we go to the underworld, our Sea Kingdom will still be united as one!"

"That's right, we should support the young master in establishing a new sea kingdom in the Yellow Springs."

The words were spoken with great bravado, yet tinged with sadness. "To die by this move, one will have something to boast about even in the afterlife."

"Hey, they say Huang Quan is fighting the Nine-Tailed Fox; if we die there, we can get revenge on those guys~~"

Many Tiger-class captains and faction leaders, half out of helplessness and half out of relief, lowered their weapons and joked with each other.

In the extraordinary world, the black sphere is already considered a nightmare: Yi Jiang, Guang, the former Jiu Kong Yao Ai, those false gods, and the powerful members of the "Eight Heroes" before us all use the "Void Dog Cannon" in the shape of a black sphere.

There is also the higher-ranking 'Nine-Tailed Tamamo-no-Mae', who once used a black sphere called 'Truth-Seeking Ball', making her virtually invincible.

Now, this 'Raichu' has condensed into this 'black sphere' several hundred meters in diameter; once it falls, perhaps the three Dragon-level adults can protect themselves, but the others:
Most likely, no remains have been found.

Let's go then!

踏、

"Everyone, it's not time to despair yet!"

A voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

Luffy?

This nonconformist, at the peak of human combat power, stepped forward with a face full of fighting spirit.

However, the expressions on the faces of the extraordinary beings, the Sea Kingdom's people, and even the Sea Kings behind him remained unchanged.

Is Luffy strong?

Without a doubt, he is strong!
At least no one in the Sea Kingdom camp present dared to say they could defeat him.

But even Lord Ōtakemaru, Lord Suzuka Gozen, and Tenma Ai-no-Mikoto couldn't defeat that 'Raichu', so what could Luffy possibly do?
"Woooooo~~"

"Luffy, Luffy! Don't use that move!"

Only in Luffy's adventurer crew, the female navigator and the long-nosed sniper were already weeping uncontrollably. They knew, of course, what their captain was about to do. At this moment, they even wished Luffy would escape: only to be restrained by the bowed-headed blonde cook and the green-haired Zorro, unable to go up.

The 'King of the Near Sea' looked completely bewildered: after all, he was just a sea king and didn't know the secret of the Eight Gates.

"A Ghost-level?"

The black ball in the sky is still falling.
Against this 'background', Raichu glanced at Luffy indifferently.

"Give up. No matter how special your abilities are, they are meaningless in the face of absolute power."

In the extraordinary world, there are various abilities such as 'copying', 'absorbing', and 'invalidating', but as 'Raichu' said, when the gap between the two is too large, any ability will lose its effect: no matter how magical the ability is, it has its own limit.

Just like in the Inuyasha demi-plane, a certain demon who tried to imitate the 'Sōunga' was burst open on the spot.

"Hey hey hey~~"

“In times of despair, it is time for the ‘hero’ to step in.”

? !
With a sunny smile on his face, Luffy placed one fist on the sea surface, striking his classic pose.

Then:
"Eight Gates Formation - Gate of Death - Open!"

boom--------

A violent shockwave suddenly emanated from his body, pushing aside the sea and the air, its domineering force drawing attention.

However, these shockwaves were not just one or two, but one after another!
Boom—Boom—Boom—

The shockwaves rippled through the sea, creating a massive circular crater that radiated outwards in all directions. Both the Sea Kingdom and the Orochi forces were reduced to mere fodder, facing only one choice:

Refund, refund, refund

"This fluctuation of spiritual energy?"

"Impossible, this is already at the Dragon level!"

The shockwave shot skyward, unleashing its power and announcing its existence to everyone.

Both sides' Ghost-level experts, whose hair was blown about by the shockwave and whose bodies were stinging, all changed color; even the Dragon-level powerhouses in the sky looked down at Luffy.

Above the sunken sea, a red figure stood gracefully: it was not a skill, but simply the outpouring of spiritual energy that allowed him to float in the air!
"Some kind of explosive ability, huh, so what?"

Raichu was first surprised, then disdainful.

"Crimson red?"

Suzuka Gozen frowned slightly.
"This is the eighth gate of the Eight Gates Formation, little brother."

"Hmm, I didn't expect Luffy to actually master it—"

Supported by his sister, Ōtakemaru couldn't help but sigh: the Eight Gates Formation was given to Luffy by him, but that doesn't mean he knew how to use it. To Ōtakemaru, a 'born god,' this ability was nothing more than a meaningless suicide technique.

Only humans would stake their sweat, effort, life, will, and soul on this one moment!

"I'm going to go!!"

His body was surging with crimson spiritual power like raging flames, but in reality, it was because his capillaries were ruptured and his blood was burning. Luffy squatted down slightly, and under the gaze of all the extraordinary, experts and strong people, his figure flickered.

null----------

A gigantic white beam of light suddenly streaked across the battlefield!
It shot off from the sea into the sky, piercing through the clouds and soaring into space before anyone could react!
? ? ? ?
A yellow-skinned mouse named 'Raichu'

He stiffly rolled his eyes to look at his side.

A giant white beam of light swept past it, not because it dodged it, but because it wasn't the intended target:

Beneath the pierced clouds, the pitch-black 'giant virtual dog cannon' had vanished without a trace, having been blasted directly outside the planet by this beam of light!
"Xixiang!"
