Chapter 235 The Great Sage Equal to Heaven in His Battle God Form

Chapter 235 God of War Stance - The Great Sage Equal to Heaven

From the dissipating smoke and dust.

It goes without saying who that figure, slowly floating up and surrounded by fiery clouds, was.

That familiar monkey head mask was enough to identify him.

"Yes, it is the Monkey!"

"The Monkey of the Twelve Zodiac Signs is still alive!"

At that moment, Gaz couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Along with them, the spectators inside and outside the bullring also gasped in surprise.

After witnessing Shenhou being attacked by the Three Calamities and then ambushed by Pierre Saint's White Bone Spear.

They almost all believed that the Zodiac was dead.

But the facts unfolding before us now show that the other party is not only not dead.

even
Hey! Look!

"What's that on Shenhou's body!?"

Soon, some sharp-eyed people noticed that Shenhou was different from the previous ones.

Even Marco, who was also in the crowd, couldn't help but show surprise as he watched the figure gradually become clearer on the screen.

I only see this moment.

The appearance of the monkey in the picture is completely different from before.

The 'glory of victory' that once surrounded him, brought about by his more than two thousand victories in suppressing the riots of an entire country single-handedly, had vanished without a trace.

Or to be more precise.

The magnificent golden light had now transformed into a set of strange golden armor.

Its arms were clad in arm armor, and its wrists were decorated with green dye and kingfisher feathers.

He was dressed in chainmail armor, which shone like gold and jade.

The shoulder armor features animal heads, a jade belt is wrapped around the waist, and cloud-patterned shoes adorn the feet.

And on its sea monster head, it is adorned with a crown.

The crown was adorned with long, crimson feathers, which fluttered in the wind along with the scarlet cloak behind him.

The strangest thing is that there are four holes on the back of his armor.

Inside the hole, four banners stood.

The banner was constructed in a semi-transparent, illusory form, with four symbols clearly engraved on it.

Those were words that no one in this world knew.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven

"boom!"

As the overwhelming force descended, the already dilapidated ground of the arena trembled once more.

The clouds high in the sky began to entangle and form a huge vortex in the air.

"What an imposing presence!"

Even Marco, who had followed Whitebeard for many years and had seen many heroes of the sea, couldn't help but feel a chill at this moment.

And not just him.

The three knights of the gods looked at the slowly flying figure with solemn expressions.

Even Fabian Saint couldn't care less about his 'collection' anymore.

"How can it be"

His gaze fell on Shenhou, his tone filled with disbelief.

But that was all he said.

Because of the next moment.
"!!!"

The three knights of the gods didn't even have time to react.

In the blink of an eye, they found that Shenhou's figure had disappeared from their sight.

"Varied"

Chiringom's long beard swayed as he stared wide-eyed.

The next moment, he caught a glimpse of golden light that had appeared beside him out of the corner of his eye.

And until this point.

"boom!"

The huge roar and sonic boom finally came from where Shenhou had just been.

Chiringom had no time to dodge.

The iron rod wrapped in Conqueror's Haki in Shenhou's hand slammed down.

"boom!"

In an instant, Qilingom's body was smashed to pieces by this blow.

The unicorn's horn was broken off and flew high into the air; his armor disintegrated, and blood and bone flew out.

"Buzz!"

But in the next instant, his figure reappeared.

On his left arm, the Deep Sea Contract shimmered with light.

"Ouch, that hurts."

At this moment, Qilingom's unicorn-like face was filled with anger and surprise.

But he had no chance to vent his anger.

When he looked at Shenhou after his body was reconstructed, he found that the latter had disappeared from the spot once again!
"Nightmare Cave MMA: The Unbreakable Wall!"

Seeing this, Qilingom activated his ability without hesitation—as fragments of dreams surged from his body, a huge, pitch-black barrier appeared out of thin air, completely enveloping him.

Only then did Chiringom feel a little relieved.

This move, 'Unbreakable Wall,' is a 'dream creation' he made by collecting the dreams of many dream slaves who had once been soldiers in his castle—its essence is a 'fortress that is absolutely impenetrable on the battlefield' in the soldiers' dreams.

But
"boom!"

A moment later, the relaxed expression on Chiringom Saint's face froze.

"Crack!"

Because right before him, accompanied by a piercing cracking sound, cracks had already appeared on the pitch-black 'Unbreakable Wall'.

"boom!"

In a mere instant, his proud creation shattered like fragile glass!
An iron rod, wreathed in golden flames and black-red lightning, pierced through the barrier and thrust towards Qilingom!

"laugh!"

With no chance to resist, his body disintegrated once again.

Moments later, his body reformed again.

At this moment, the expression on his face had changed from anger to disbelief and horror—in such a short time, he had 'died' twice!
"Fabian!"

So even he, who was usually so lazy, let out a scream!

"Fourth shot - Choreography shot!"

At this moment, Fabian Saint naturally knew what he should do.

He immediately brandished the radiance in his hand.

From within the radiance, scenes flowed by, finally settling on Chiringom.

He moved his finger.

The next moment, Qilingom's figure vanished from the spot, away from Shenhou's location, and arrived beside Fabian Sheng.

at the same time
"First Shot - Fixed!"

"Second Shot - Close-up!"

Fabian Saint continued to adjust the images in his hand, and all the surrounding Den Den Mushi were aimed at Shen Hou.

"View locked!"

He pressed his hand down.

next moment.
"Buzz!"

The power that once bound the Three Calamities descended once more, gathering around Shenhou.

"Success!"

At that moment, Fabian Saint roared, "Pierre, this guy has been locked on and weakened—I'm sending you over to strengthen you, get ready to take care of him."

He was certain that his ability had taken effect, so he waved his hand again.

The image of the glow in his hand immediately focused on Pierre Saint.

"Camera direction and actor movement!"

"Close-up shot - Lead actor!"

He pressed his hand down, and Pierre Saint's figure appeared beside Shen Hou.

At the same time, Pierre Saint's aura began to surge even higher!
"Well done! I'll take care of him!"

Having anticipated his companion's abilities, Pierre Saint had already begun gathering his strength. Blood mist emanated from within his jet-black armor.

Countless fragments of bone were slowly emerging from his body, aiming at the 'immobile' Shenhou.

"God-Slaying Spear - Charged Rapid Fire!"

Then, bones burst forth!
But
"Good cooperation."

The next instant, Pierre Saint heard the sound.

Then he saw it.
"pity--"

The Monkey King has moved.

Golden flames swirled around him, and he didn't even lift his eyelids, simply spreading his cloak.

"boom!"

The billowing cloak actually blocked all the bullets fired by Pierre Saint.

At the same time, Shenhou swept out with his staff amidst Pierre Saint's horrified gaze!
"Fabian!?"

Pierre Saint felt betrayed by his incompetent teammate—wasn't this guy supposed to be unable to move?!

The next moment, the already riddled-with-holes God Knight was shattered along with his armor by this blow.

But like Qilingom, his figure was instantly restored and reappeared under the power of the Deepsea Contract.

Seeing this, Shenhou's movements did not stop at all; he simply smashed the iron rod in his hand down again.

"save!"

Pierre Saint only had time to utter that one word before he was smashed again by a club, and then regenerated.

"help me!"

And it was at this very moment.
"Ow!"

It was accompanied by a tremendous roar.

A colossal beast plummeted from the sky!

Those were creations that had once made a fleeting appearance in the Sabaody Archipelago, belonging to Chiringom.

"Nightmare Cave - Leviathan!"

A colossal creature, almost larger than the entirety of Dressrosa, appeared in the sky, and countless streams of water were converging from its mouth, seemingly about to be unleashed as a water cannon.

But
"boom!"

In the very next instant, a golden staff shadow that pierced the sky and earth rose suddenly from below, striking the giant beast directly!

Leviathan's terrifying figure, so huge it could trigger a tsunami, was blasted away like a broken kite by that single blow, swirling through the clouds!

It didn't even utter a mournful cry in the air before shattering into countless dream fragments!
"Fabian! Now's the time—bring Pierre back!"

Upon seeing this, Qilingom Saint's pupils contracted, but he also gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Changing the camera angles!"

Fabian Saint, without the slightest hesitation, raised his hand and gave a low shout.

And so, Pierre Saint's figure was teleported to his side.

Just like when it first appeared.

The three knights of the gods stood together once again.

But obviously
"What's going on with this guy?"

At this moment, they were completely panicked.

"Leviathan couldn't even withstand a single blow."

The words of the Holy Spirit of Chiringom were extremely solemn.

Leviathan was already one of his strongest dream creations. Even with dream slaves as 'raw materials,' it still required a lot of his physical strength to create it.

Although the dream creatures do not die completely, he can summon Leviathan again at any time.

But that attack just now was enough to show that it was meaningless.

"My divine-killing spear couldn't even pierce his cloak."

Pierre Saint couldn't understand either: "And my ability can't even deflect his attacks, even with Conqueror's Haki. It shouldn't be like this."

This gave him a familiar sense of foreboding: "Fabian, this is your 'stage.' What's going on?"

"I don't know either"

Fabian Sheng, who was implicitly the leader of the three, looked at Shen Hou, who was still standing calmly in front of them, and gritted his teeth as well.

At this moment, Shenhou's gaze was fixed on them from afar.

His eyes gleamed with the brilliance of a fruit encyclopedia.

The user of the fruit has been identified as 'Jegoilusia Fabian Saint'.

[The Devil Fruit has been confirmed as the 'Paramecia-type Director Fruit', and is currently being analyzed and stored in the 'Devil Fruit Encyclopedia'.]

[Fruit ability - Can designate an area as a 'stage' and adjust the camera angles on that stage]

[Effects at Each Level]

[LV3: Gain all Devil Fruit abilities. You can designate an area as a stage in advance. After a ten-second countdown for everyone, you announce the start of filming. Creatures still on the 'stage' at that time are considered 'actors' and are controlled by the director along with everything else on the stage. The director can influence and attack them through the camera. It costs 18 billion Berries to unlock.]

When controlling the stage, it is essential to ensure that the entire stage can be observed. The more detailed the observation, the stronger the control over the stage.

[LV4: Fruit deep development, allows for various camera angle adjustments, marking of actors, and effects on the stage. Requires 38 billion Berries to unlock]

[Standard lenses are divided into four categories]

[Category 1 - Fixed shot: Actors marked by this shot will remain stationary.]

[Category 2 - Close-up shots: Actors marked with this shot will be enhanced if they are 'lead actors', and significantly weakened if they are 'villains']

[The third type - camera movement, which allows for the free change of actors' positions]

[The fourth type - cut shots - can cut everything that happens after the stage is set up, and can be 'speeded up', 'segmented', or 'replaced' to change the state of the stage and the actors.]

no doubt.

The Knights of God had actually made many preparations and plans for today's operation.

The most crucial element is the Devil Fruit ability possessed by Fabian Saint.

Attack, defense, control, weaken the enemy, strengthen oneself—this God Knight's Devil Fruit ability, if planned in advance, is undoubtedly a top-tier support ability.

This is also why they were able to easily eliminate the three calamities.

Fabian Saint's ability is used to create a stage, and the dream creations made by Giringom Saint can help him ensure observation of the stage. In addition, Pierce Saint's Vector Fruit has extremely destructive power - the combination of these three Devil Fruits is indeed extremely good.

But
For Shenhou at this moment, none of these things matter.

because
"boom!"

Without a sound, Shenhou had already swung his staff.

The speed and arc of the golden cudgel's movement at that moment were impossible to react to.

The upper bodies of the three Divine Knights were blasted apart in an instant.

The stick continued its momentum, sweeping across the surrounding area.

Then a strong wind blew, and everyone was horrified to see what was happening.

The entire sky was shattered by this blow, and the remaining impact even caused the approaching 'birdcage' to crumble inch by inch before slowly recovering.

"."

Whether it was the audience, the knights of God, or even Doflamingo sitting on the throne at this moment, they couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"This power is truly amazing."

He exclaimed in admiration.

[Fighting God Fruit LV5 - After gathering four Fighting Seals, the user can transform into the 'Fighting God Stance'. The more victories the user achieves before transformation, the stronger the effect after transformation. The user can freely change their physical appearance, ignore any control or negative effects, and gain a huge boost to all attributes. Every attack can deal massive damage to the enemy's main body regardless of any conditions. All allies receive a huge boost while in Fighting God Stance. When facing multiple enemies alone, all the above effects will be further enhanced.]

Yes.

At this moment, the four flags behind Shenhou are the four 'Battle Seals' he has condensed—his battles have been almost non-stop since entering Dressrosa, and the Battle Seals have naturally been condensed long ago.

Meanwhile, don't forget that Shenhou had already accumulated an astonishing 2000+ victories before entering the arena.

The combination of these two elements creates the current posture and unprecedented power of Shenhou.

【Battle God Stance - The Great Sage Equal to Heaven】

“I’ve heard the boss mention you guys are ‘Knights of God’.”

Feel the boundless power surging within my body.

Even Shenhou himself can't say for sure just how strong he is now.

But there is at least one thing he can be sure of.

“I have heard that you claim to be gods.”

He brandished the iron rod in his hand.

Pointing to the three divine knights who had been restored, their faces still showing fear.

"And it's quite a coincidence."

He grinned.
