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

Chapter 342 Saiyan Bloodline, Activated!

"?"

Xia Nuo looked up at the black arrows that blotted out the sky, and was clearly bewildered for a moment.

No?

What are you doing for me?
Is this still a pirate?

"Hey Hey hey……"

But then he couldn't help but grin: "This scene is a bit too exaggerated. It seems he's really furious, Im!"

Did they really use their true methods?
Let him indulge in this to his heart's content, and see just how much power this old man who has ruled the world for eight hundred years still has!
"Up!"

His leg muscles were taut to the limit, and the next moment...

boom!
The ground cracked.

Black and red lightning streaked across the sky as Shano rushed toward Im high in the sky at an astonishing speed. Wherever he passed, even the air along the way was torn apart with a piercing explosion.

"Out of control."

Im spoke coldly, and gently waved his right hand.

shhhhhh!
An endless stream of black arrows poured down on Xia Nuo like a torrential downpour!

"come yet!"

Without dodging or avoiding, Xia Nuo's fists were wrapped in black and red lightning, and he forcefully blasted a path through the rain of arrows.

But there were just too many arrows, too densely packed!

Even with his speed, he was inevitably grazed repeatedly, and the purplish-black flames immediately ignited at the wounds, bringing excruciating pain.

"Humph!"

Xia Nuo snorted coldly, and a large amount of Conqueror's Haki surged wildly, forcibly erasing the purplish-black flames. At the same time, he continued to approach Im without stopping.

"It's no use, mortal."

Im looked down at Shano, his voice icy:
"These arrows are imbued with Mu's primal power, which will continuously erode your life. Each wound will require you to expend a large amount of Conqueror's Haki to remove."

"That last move must have used up most of your savings, right? Do you have enough left?"

His rain of arrows is endless!

Im waved his right hand again, and the black arrows that Shano had dodged suddenly changed direction in mid-air and attacked again from all directions!
"Tsk, trouble!"

Xia Nuo frowned, his figure rapidly turning and shifting in the air.

Unfortunately, the arrows were too dense, and in the blink of an eye, several more wounds were added to his body.

At this rate, the regeneration speed of Conqueror's Haki will not be able to keep up!

This is really a headache, the power of origin?

Is it the origin of evil?

What exactly is this guy's ability? Considering Im's appearance and his ability to transform people into demons at will...

Could it be that I ate a real "Devil Fruit"?

"We can talk about that later; we need to finish this quickly today!"

Xia Nuo's eyes sharpened, and he took a deep breath. The black and red lightning on his body suddenly surged, forming a spherical light screen around him!
At times like these, the worst thing you can do is be stingy.

Therefore, he simply used all of his Conqueror's Haki at once to form his strongest defense—

"Conqueror's Haki Barrier", fully activated!

clap clap clap!
All the incoming black arrows crashed into the barrier and exploded, unable to penetrate it even slightly.

It's now!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shano stomped his legs in mid-air and accelerated, his body shooting straight at Im like a cannonball!

"A useless struggle."

Im stared expressionlessly at Shano, who had broken through the rain of arrows, a hint of mockery flashing in his spiraling red eyes.

He slowly extended his index finger and gently touched the air.

The previously overwhelming black arrows suddenly stopped, and then, like rivers flowing into the sea, they frantically converged towards the center!

hum!
The purplish-black energy was continuously compressed, and in an instant, it condensed into a giant trident that was a hundred meters long.

The tip of the halberd was wreathed in boiling dark flames, scorching even the space around it with twisted cracks.

"Destroy."

Im spoke softly.

The trident immediately changed direction and thrust out fiercely towards Xia Nuo, who was about to rush in front of him!

boom!
The Conqueror's Hide barrier collided with the tip of the halberd with a loud bang.

Xia Nuo's Conqueror's Haki barrier lasted for more than ten seconds, but in the end, it finally reached its limit and shattered with a crack!
"puff!"

The shockwave struck Xia Nuo's chest, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. His body plummeted to the ground like a meteor, creating a huge crater in the already shattered earth.

The giant trident followed closely behind, landing in the pit and impaling Shano.

boom! ! !
The entire pit immediately expanded again, and seawater rushed in, creating a cloud of water mist.

"Cough...cough..."

At the bottom of the deep pit, beneath the black trident, Xia Nuo lay sprawled on the cracked rock, coughing up blood continuously.

Im's attack not only overwhelmed his Conqueror's Haki barrier, but also cracked his consciousness like glass struck by a heavy hammer.

My vision is starting to blur...

Imna's figure, slowly descending from the sky, appeared as several blurry images on my retina.

"But this is not the end yet..."

He struggled to move his fingers, trying to prop himself up, and at the same time, he managed to put something into his mouth with his right hand.

Ok?
Im noticed this, his brow furrowed slightly, and he flicked his fingertips.

Swish!
The giant trident suddenly erupted with a purplish-black light, and countless slender arrows extended from the trident, pinning his limbs firmly to the ground, rendering him unable to move an inch.

The excruciating pain emanating from all directions caused Xia Nuo's muscles to spasm uncontrollably, but Xia Nuo still tried his best to break free.

"That's it."

Im's figure hovered above the deep pit, looking down at Shano, who was nailed to the ground.

Swish.

His damaged demon wings slowly unfurled, black mist swirling around them, and the one that had been broken off by Shano earlier regrowth at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"To have driven Mu to this point, you truly have something to be proud of. This is something no one has been able to do in the past few centuries."

Im's voice remained cold and indifferent, devoid of any emotion, "But mortals are mortals after all, now..."

"Everything should be over."

He raised his right hand, and purplish-black energy condensed in his palm, transforming into a miniature trident.

Although it was much smaller than the one that trapped Xia Nuo, the destructive aura it contained was extremely terrifying!
Farewell, traitor.

call out!
The trident flew from his hand, aimed straight for Xia Nuo's throat!
"Ah……"

In that life-or-death moment, Xia Nuo suddenly smiled.

"Heh, heh heh... hahahahahaha!"

His blood-stained lips stretched into an exaggerated grin, and his previously unfocused pupils suddenly contracted, transforming into the vertical pupils of a wild beast!
"Finally...finally! We've finally waited for this moment!"

Live to the death!

How can you unleash that kind of bloodline without pushing yourself to the limit and bursting forth in a truly desperate situation?

The last remaining Senzu Bean had already been put in his mouth just now.

Now, chew it up and swallow it!

boom! ! !
An unprecedentedly violent aura erupted from Xia Nuo's body!
A violent energy storm surged into the sky, and the giant trident that had pinned him down shattered completely under the force of this outburst, turning into countless blackish-purple fragments that vanished!

"what?!"

For the first time, a look of deep astonishment appeared on Im's face. His spiral pupils suddenly contracted, and he subconsciously took half a step back, staring intently at the figure below who had broken free of his restraints and was slowly standing up.

"Cough...ha..."

Xia Nuo grinned and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

He moved his hands and feet slightly, and his body slowly floated up. His originally seriously injured body began to heal rapidly at an alarming speed, and his muscle lines became more defined and strong.

His aura not only returned to its peak state, but also clearly rose to a higher level!
In a daze, it seemed as if a layer of golden flames had appeared around me, just like a blazing sun, vigorous, dazzling, and unstoppable!

With the help of Senzu Beans...

One-time Saiyan bloodline activation!
The reason he has been holding back from using these two trump cards all this time is because no one else has been able to force him to this point.

Everything was prepared for you, Im!

"You seemed to be having a lot of fun just now."

Xia Nuo cracked his neck and grinned maliciously at Im opposite him, "Getting more and more excited as you talk, really thinking the situation is settled, starting to think you're a god again. Well, now, it's about time..."

"It's my turn now!"

Swish!
His figure vanished suddenly!

Im's eyes flashed crimson as he pushed his Observation Haki to its limit, but it was too late!

This time, He didn't even have time to react—

boom!
Because Xia Nuo's fist had already smashed hard onto His head!

Boom! ! !
The power of this punch far exceeded any previous attack; Im's head instantly deformed, and his forehead caved in.

He groaned and flew backward!

Along the way, it leveled all the mountains on the island, flying from the south coast all the way to the northern edge, only stopping when the coast reappeared.

"Cough...cough cough!"

Im stumbled to his feet from the rubble, black blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, the disbelief still etched in his eyes.

How can it be?

How is that possible?!
How could such a level of power exist in this world, in the lower realms...?

"What are you daydreaming about? This isn't over yet!"

A sonic boom cloud suddenly appeared behind Im, and from within it, Shano appeared with a cold smile, delivering a powerful whip kick to Im's waist!

Click!

Amidst the sound of bones shattering, Im's body was kicked away again, tracing an arc through the air.

"Damn it... those damned mortals!!!"

To be treated like a ball, kicked around and around, is such a disgrace!
Im roared furiously, his demonic wings flapping wildly, countless black feathers separating from them and turning into jet-black arrows that shot towards Shano.

however.

"Slow! Too slow!"

Xia Nuo laughed wildly, showing no intention of using Conqueror's Haki to strengthen his defenses as before, and simply let his body move freely through the area!

But from beginning to end, not a single arrow could touch the hem of his clothes!

In the blink of an eye.

He traversed the sky and approached Im again, standing before Him. He bared his teeth, drew his arms simultaneously, and in an instant, unleashed dozens or even hundreds of punches!

"Ora Ora Ora—!!!"

With a sneer, Shano unleashed his fury, his fists flying like a storm, relentlessly pounding at Im!

Bang bang bang bang!
Im's body continued to deform under the repeated heavy blows.

He tried to resist and oppose.

But Xia Nuo's punches were too fast and too powerful!

The demon claw that had just been raised was smashed by a punch, and the bone spurs that were regenerated were forcibly hammered back into flesh before they could even take shape!
The summoned purplish-black energy defense barrier was also instantly shattered!

Even his terrifying regenerative ability couldn't keep up with Xia Nuo's punching speed. The wounds and dents all over his body were becoming more and more numerous and dense!

Her beautiful and slender body has been reduced to a grotesque form by this relentless beating!
"Speak up, why are you so quiet now? Weren't you quite talkative just now?"

Xia Nuo grabbed Im by the throat, lifted him high, and charged his right fist to its limit, with black and red lightning frantically gathering on it!
"What bullshit gods, what talk of ruling the world for eight hundred years... In the face of pure power—"

"It's just a punching bag!!!"

It's almost time.

Come and experience it!

It has evolved and upgraded in every aspect, and its power is on a completely different level from before... its strongest technique!

—Cross teeth, Dragon Slayer Fist!
boom! ! !
This all-out punch pierced right through Im's chest, amidst his shocked and furious gaze!

"How dare you! You mortal!"

The angry shouts had barely begun when they were silenced before they could even spread.

However, the powerful shockwave, after engulfing Im's body, still radiated outwards from the two of them.

Rumble!
The already dilapidated island finally couldn't withstand the pressure, completely disintegrated, and sank into the sea!

For a while.

The waves surged to the sky, and smoke and dust obscured the sun.

When everything calmed down, the island called "Sphinx" no longer existed.

As far as the eye can see, there is only the vast ocean.

Call ~
A gentle evening breeze was blowing.

With her black hair flowing freely, Shano hovered in the air with a somewhat listless air, holding in her hand the vessel that was Im, the broken body.

"Tsk, they ran away already."

He glanced at it, shook his head, released his grip, and let the body fall.

At the same moment, the corpse began to transform into black mist, rapidly decomposing and dissipating. Before it even hit the sea, it completely vanished into the air.

Ultimately, it's just a container.

That guy has many bodies like this to house his lower realm, and he might feel a little heartache if he loses one of the good ones.

But ultimately it's harmless.

Im's true form remains perfectly intact, high above the clouds, held aloft in the sacred land of Mary Geoise.

The original body?
Shano stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly narrowed, gazing at the horizon in the direction of Mary Geoise.

"Even if your clone descends to the mortal realm, it's no match for me."

"At least this level of container is not enough."

"But the main body can descend directly? It seems there are some restrictions. Not to mention the Holy Land, it hasn't even stepped out of the Flower Realm in the past eight hundred years."

There were still too many doubts in my mind, and the secrets surrounding Im were indeed quite mysterious.

Mary Geoise, Pangaea, is still a place he, even now, is somewhat hesitant to set foot in.

He wasn't that reckless. If it were someone else, they might have gotten carried away and stormed into the enemy's lair to test the strength of Im's true form.

to be honest……

I'm still not strong enough!

If he were strong enough to single-handedly beat even Im's true form, and strong enough that the whole world combined wouldn't be a threat to him, then these concerns would cease to exist!
Xia Nuo waited patiently for a while longer.

There was still no movement.

It's as if the island that was just erased, and the broken container, were all just a dream.

That guy, did he really choose to swallow his anger?

Since your true form is unwilling to come down...

"Then I'll just have to wait until the future, when I personally go to your door and find you, Im!!!"
