One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 333 Bitter Battles of the Warring States Period, A True Monster! [Second Update]

"This this……"

Green Bull stared up at the enormous, purplish-black demonic Buddha, completely dumbfounded. "Wait, who is this guy?"

"Still haven't you recognized me?"

Akainu's face darkened. "It's Sengoku! That former Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the idiot! But now, like those old fogies, he's completely..."

He quickly took back the second half of his sentence and didn't say it aloud.

The people opposite, including Shano and Whitebeard, also recognized the newcomer's identity immediately and were somewhat taken aback.

"Master Zhan Guo!"

Aokiji couldn't help but speak up, "This is the last time I'll call you 'sir'. Hey, can you explain what's going on? You've already resigned and retired, so why did you accept that power and turn into this inhuman, ghostly thing!"

Ok?
The purplish-black demonic Buddha glanced at Qingzhi with some surprise, then sneered, a hint of mockery flashing in its eight scarlet demonic eyes:
"So you've really sided with the Fallen Ones, huh? But how can you still be so naive... Since times have changed, I must keep up. How could a traitor like you possibly understand my resolve?"

"Neither human nor ghost?"

"Just a few days ago, I was coughing up blood and on the verge of death in the intensive care unit. The way I was struggling in front of the gates of hell was truly inhuman!"

A hint of resentment flashed in the crimson eyes of the purplish-black demonic Buddha, and his voice echoed like thunder across the battlefield:
"Since the World Government is willing to give me a second life and a chance to personally wash away the humiliation of the past, what reason do I have to refuse!"

"Zhan Guo, you..."

Aokiji wanted to say something more, but Xia Nuo raised his hand to stop him.

"Kuzan, no need to waste your breath."

Xia Nuo said calmly:
"This guy has been completely consumed by hatred and obsession, and he is now nothing more than a war machine created by the World Government."

"I didn't expect that, the Warring States period."

He looked up at the purple-black demon Buddha and smiled:
"Although you were originally just a hypocrite who constantly talked about justice, you were still a former Fleet Admiral of the Navy, a man known as a 'wise general' who dominated the seas for decades. It's truly pathetic and lamentable that you've stooped to this level."

"Shut up!"

The purplish-black demonic Buddha roared, and its eight scarlet eyes simultaneously flashed with blinding blood light:
"Xia Nuo! Stop pretending! I've fallen to this state all because of you!"

"Today, I will personally crush all of you villains who are disturbing the world!"

boom! ! !
Before he could finish speaking, the Demon Buddha's enormous hand slammed down, crackling with terrifying purple-black lightning, heading straight for where Xia Nuo and the others were!

"Stop talking big!"

Whitebeard roared and unleashed a fierce attack with the Murakumogiri, unleashing the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to collide violently with the giant hand!
Click!

Space shattered like a mirror, and a terrifying shockwave swept in all directions, sending wood chips flying everywhere and instantly creating a huge crater!

Although the giant hand was knocked back, Whitebeard also staggered back several steps, his blood and qi surging.

"The so-called strongest man in the world seems to be nothing special after all!"

The Demon Buddha said coldly.

"Gurararara! Sengoku, it seems your strength has increased quite a bit since you turned into this grotesque state!"

The white-bearded man laughed loudly, seemingly unconcerned, but a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes.

That attack had put him under considerable pressure, and his arm was even a little numb from the impact.

The power of this demonic Buddha exceeded his expectations and also surpassed the original level of the Warring States period!
Or perhaps it was this that allowed the elderly Warring States period to enjoy a long lifespan.

At the same time, all the hidden injuries and hidden dangers accumulated over the years disappeared without a trace, and his physical strength suddenly increased, thus possessing strength comparable to his peak period!
Besides that, what's even more troublesome is...

Whitebeard's gaze swept over the Demon Buddha's right hand. Just now, the surface of this giant hand had been cracked by his own shock, and the gold paint had crumbled.

But after the black mist flashed by, it immediately returned to its original state, without leaving even a trace of damage.

"Oh? Did you notice?"

The Demon Buddha grinned maliciously, his voice booming like thunder:
"This is my current strength! An immortal body, inexhaustible stamina! What do you have to fight me with!"

"This is indeed a bit tricky..."

The white-bearded man grinned.

However, he also knew the secret: an excessive amount of Conqueror's Haki could temporarily suppress this power, and in terms of the quality of Conqueror's Haki, he was never inferior to...

"If it's tricky, then step back a little."

Xia Nuo's voice came from the side, "Just watch from the side. I have a lot more experience dealing with guys like this."

"Hey!"

Whitebeard was taken aback, then glared angrily at the figure in front of him, "You bastard, at least let me finish what I'm saying!"

"I don't have time for that!"

Xia Nuo laughed heartily, activated the Flying Technique, and his figure soared into the air!

Swish!
The next instant, he appeared above the Demon Buddha's head, his right fist crackling with black and red lightning, and slammed down heavily on the giant head!

"Galactic Impact!!!"

A terrifying shockwave erupted, and the head of the purplish-black demonic Buddha sank violently from the punch, its massive body staggering back a few steps.

Although there was indeed a dent on his head that wouldn't heal in a short time, and blood was constantly flowing out.

But the Demon Buddha quickly regained his footing, and a fierce blood-red light shone from his eight scarlet demonic eyes:
"Ouch, that hurts, kid! But unfortunately, this level of attack isn't enough! It's far from enough for this old man!"

"Let me try this instead, you little brat, Xia Nuo!"

The giant demon Buddha that had transformed from the Warring States period raised both hands simultaneously, brought them together, and let out a roar.

"Buddha's Wrathful Strike!"

hum!
A purplish-black beam of light, over a hundred meters in diameter, burst forth from his palm, distorting and shattering the space along its path, and hurtling toward Xia Nuo with earth-shattering force!
however.

Facing the oncoming purplish-black beam of light, Xia Nuo remained motionless, showing no intention of dodging. Only black and red lightning erupted from his body, forming an invisible barrier around him.

Boom!
When the beam of light struck the barrier, there was only a muffled thud. The next moment, it was completely swallowed up as if it had been thrown into the sea, without even causing a ripple.

Not to mention harming Xia Nuo's body in the slightest.

"This, this is..." The Demon Buddha's eight eyes widened simultaneously.

"I just realized it a while ago."

Xia Nuo said calmly, "You should be able to tell what this is, right? The Warring States period?"

"..."

The Demon Buddha's face darkened.

Of course he recognized it; it was "Conqueror's Haki Barrier"!
Armament Haki can form a barrier, and so can Conqueror's Haki, with a defensive effect that is thousands or even hundreds of times better, making it truly invincible!

However, to master this move, one must first have extremely high requirements for the quality of one's Conqueror's Haki, and the degree of control one has to reach the pinnacle!
Over the years, he tried many times but failed, and neither did Karp.

Only during the God Valley era, when Rocks was corrupted, did he display such powerful abilities!
Even when Garp and Roger were at their peak, they fought together for half a day and still couldn't break through the defense. In the end, they used all their strength and unleashed all their Haki to finally break through the Conqueror's Haki barrier!

"Damn little devil..."

A hint of apprehension flashed in the scarlet eyes of Demon Buddha Sengoku.

But soon, his body erupted with purplish-black flames, and he grinned maliciously as he raised his palm again:

"You really think you're Rocks? Don't forget, my stamina is practically limitless. I'd like to see just how many times you can block this!"

boom! boom! boom!
Three consecutive "Buddha's Wrath Impacts" were unleashed, enveloping the entire battlefield in a purplish-black energy.

However, Xia Nuo remained unmoved, even keeping her hairstyle exactly the same.

That invisible barrier, barely perceptible to the naked eye, was like an insurmountable chasm, completely blocking all his attacks!
How can it be?

The Demon Buddha refused to believe in evil and continued to bombard the enemy with all his might, six times, seven times, eight times... but the result was still the same.

Xia Nuo, however, finally began to show signs of impatience.

"have you had enough?"

He grinned, his right fist clenched suddenly, and blinding black and red lightning coiled upwards like a dragon and snake. "If you've had enough fun, then it's my turn!"

boom! ! !
In the next instant, Xia Nuo's figure vanished from the spot!

When it reappeared, it was already directly in front of the Demon Buddha Sengoku. It grabbed the other's chest and suddenly exerted force, lifting the Demon Buddha, who was seventy or eighty meters tall, up directly.

Then, he swung it over his head and slammed it heavily to the ground!

"Smash it!!"

boom!
Sengoku's body fell from the sky and crashed to the ground like a meteorite, shaking the entire massive sea platform and instantly causing large cracks to spread for several kilometers.

This is the only strike!
Hundreds of naval soldiers were killed or wounded. The unlucky guy who had just been promoted to vice admiral was standing right in the center of the impact and was smashed flat, turning into a pile of minced meat.

"It's not over yet, Warring States period!"

Amidst a sinister laugh, the black shadow that Xia Nuo had transformed into rapidly magnified in the eight scarlet eyes of the Demon Buddha. His right fist ripped through the sky, carrying a terrifying shockwave, and slammed heavily into the peeling gold paint of the body!

"Cross Fang... Dragon Slayer Fist!"

Om-!
The black and white shockwaves suddenly erupted, like two evil dragons strangling each other, instantly piercing through the Demon Buddha's chest!
Click!Click!
The sound of bones shattering rang out repeatedly, and a huge hole with a diameter of more than ten meters was actually pierced through the massive body of the purplish-black demon Buddha!

"Ugh!!"

The Demon Buddha let out a painful roar, staggered back several steps, and his eight scarlet demon eyes were filled with disbelief.

Ouch! It hurts so much! That punch pierced through his chest and abdomen, and even his internal organs!
It was causing him unbearable pain!
If he didn't have the ability to be immortal, and it was the old and sick Sengoku from before, this one blow would probably have completely rendered him unable to fight!
No, things don't seem to have improved much...

Sengoku felt with horror and clarity that the aftershocks of those two shockwaves had not dissipated; they were still raging wildly within his body, continuing to destroy every inch of his flesh and meridians.

Even that near-immortal regenerative power couldn't keep up with the speed of destruction at this moment!

"Impossible, this shouldn't be happening. How could my body be like this..."

"Very surprised?"

Xia Nuo sneered, his figure flashing once more, appearing above the Demon Buddha's head, his right leg raised high like a battle axe:

"You and I are never on the same level. Do you think you can stand against me just because you've turned into this grotesque state?"

"Don't be so naive, you old man from the Warring States period!"

Swish!
The right leg, wrapped in black and red lightning, suddenly slashed down!
Boom! ! !
The Demon Buddha's head was smashed into his chest cavity by this kick, his entire upper body twisted and deformed, and purple-black flames spread wildly.

"Fight back! Fight back!"

Xia Nuo's face was ferocious, and his attacks continued. His fists were like a storm, each strike carrying extremely high-quality Conqueror's Haki, which made the Demon Buddha's huge body retreat step by step!

boom! boom! boom!
In the center of the battlefield, black and red energy and purplish-black energy collided wildly, or rather, the former devoured and squeezed the latter, causing the entire world to tremble!

"Hey, is this...is this really a power that humans can possess...?"

Green Bull looked up, his face pale, at the scene.

Seeing that his former marshal was completely powerless to fight back, and seeing the aura of the Warring States period growing weaker and weaker, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.

Green Bull thought that Sengoku in that form was terrifying enough, since he felt he would be half a head shorter in a one-on-one fight and would have a hard time gaining an advantage.

But now it seems...

Sure enough, sure enough!
My impression was correct, and my fear was correct.

What demon Buddha or not...

The man before me named Xia Nuo is the real monster!
