The two sides clashed again, the clanging of swords producing a grating, unpleasant sound.
Unbeknownst to him, Yang Ming's strength had already reached a point where he could easily face an opponent like Jack the Drought. Even when facing Jack the Drought head-on, he no longer felt a lack of power; on the contrary, he had a sense of being able to contend with him on equal footing.
To the ordinary pirates and marines, the two figures had long since disappeared from sight; all they could see were blurry phantoms flashing across the deck, accompanied by the incessant sounds of fighting.
The battlefield between Yang Ming and Drought Jack was located on the deck of the Mammoth flagship, some distance from the steel behemoth. However, the strong winds generated by their battle were still intense, occasionally sweeping across some unlucky soul on the steel behemoth, who would immediately let out a scream and be violently swept away by the strong winds, plunging headfirst into the cold seawater.
Seeing the terrifying aura emanating from the two, both the navy and the pirates swallowed hard and quickly moved far away, fearing they would be affected.
Ain slapped a pirate on the back, activating her Rewind-Rewind Fruit ability to rewind the pirate back to his infancy. Stealing a moment of free time from her busy schedule, she looked up and gazed in the direction of the Mammoth's flagship.
Half the sky was painted crimson, and amidst the eerie flashes of lightning, bolts as thick as buckets of thunder struck down from time to time, punching a huge hole in the Mammoth's flagship.
The other half of the sky was filled with a depressing and manic atmosphere of decay. The giant Jack the Drought wielded his swords fiercely, and the terrifying wind pressure seemed to be unable to withstand the massive hull of the Mammoth's flagship, causing the keel to make a mournful "crack" sound.
"The sky is cracked!"
Ain's pupils suddenly contracted, and she let out a gasp.
As the two fought frequently, the dark clouds that shrouded the sky and earth cracked open, creating a fissure tens of meters long. Sunlight streamed through the crack, casting dazzling spots of light.
The Zanpakuto clashed with the two Shortel swords again, and Yang Ming and Drought Jack fell from mid-air like meteors. The Mammoth flagship shook violently, tilted one side of the ship, and even the churned seawater spread up the deck.
The seawater spread up to his knees. As a Devil Fruit user, Jack the Drought was inevitably affected and had no choice but to exit his human form and revert to his human form. At the same time, he felt a sense of emptiness in his body and staggered slightly for a moment.
Although it was just a seemingly insignificant loophole, Yang Ming still managed to seize it instantly.
Electric arcs enveloped Yang Ming's entire body, instantly transforming him into a thunderous form. His hair stood on end like a hedgehog's quills, and beneath his thick, dark eyebrows, a pair of scarlet eyes gleamed with cold light. With the help of the electric current stimulating his muscles and accelerating blood flow, Yang Ming's already unparalleled speed was further enhanced.
fast!
Extremely fast!
Swift as thunder, powerful as a gust of wind!
Drought Jack had a bad feeling in his heart and subconsciously activated Armament Haki to surround his entire body.
Armament Haki, due to its fluid nature, has different techniques for use, which can be categorized as hardening, entangling, external release, and internal destruction.
For beginners in Armament Haki, it is already extremely difficult to cover a part of their body with Armament Haki.
As one gradually becomes proficient in and masters Armament Haki, one can cover one's entire body with Armament Haki.
Those who are proficient can even imbue their bodies with Armament Haki, greatly enhancing their defense and attack power.
Each realm requires a significant amount of time for cultivation before one can achieve anything.
Talent and hard work are both indispensable.
however.
Under Yang Ming's thunderous strike, the heavens and earth paled in comparison!
"Tear!"
Like a hot knife through butter, the Zanpakuto followed the death line perceived by the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, ignoring the Armament Haki defense, and directly slashed down Jack the Drought's right wrist, which was blocking his way, and continued to strike him with undiminished force.
Is it...
Drought Jack Pills?
Chapter 155 You have the right to remain silent, but anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
It is said that the world, after a long period of division, tends to unite; and after a long period of unity, tends to divide.
Eight hundred years ago, Joy Boy and Lord Im joined forces to end the rule of the Great Kingdom. Lord Im then parted ways with Joy Boy and formed the World Government with the kings of twenty kingdoms, gradually guiding the chaotic world back into stability and order.
History is a cycle, constantly repeating itself.
Eight hundred years later, heroes are rising up in all regions, the world order is becoming unstable, and signs of collapse are gradually emerging.
Furthermore, four top-tier powerhouses, renowned for their strength and prestige, have carved out their own territories, occupying a vast area of the New World. They have established their own unique rules and order for pirates on their own lands, and are known to the world as the Emperors of the Sea, or the Four Emperors.
Among the four Emperors of the Sea, the Beasts Pirates do not have the largest territory or the strongest power, but they are the most troublesome. From Kaido himself to his pirates, they are all a group of reckless madmen. When Kaido is drunk, he even dares to storm Marineford, the Marine Headquarters. With his innate physique, he has repeatedly failed but never given up.
Based on this understanding, when the Navy and pirates encounter the Beast Pirates, they usually choose to minimize the conflict and avoid causing irreparable damage.
However, the appearance of a young naval captain today seems to have broken a certain tacit understanding from the past.
"Kill me!"
Amidst the deafening roar of flames, the Zanpakuto, carrying a temperature of 5700 degrees Celsius, slashed down along the death line. To the astonished and uncertain gaze of Jack the Drought, and amidst the gasps of the crowd who were constantly watching the battlefield, Jack the Drought's right wrist, which he had raised to block, was severed cleanly. It was as if the Armament Haki that had been wrapped around it just now was a huge joke!
Immediately afterwards, the Zanpakuto continued its relentless advance, viciously sliding down Jack the Drought's forehead, nose, lips, and sternum.
The blade touched the body covered in Armament Haki with ease, as if a hot knife were cutting through butter. The thick mammoth fur and fat were helpless against it, and the deep wound that exposed the bone was revealed to the world. Blood gushed out in an astonishing amount, leaving indelible splatter-like bloodstains on the gradually tilting deck.
pain!
Severe pain!
Unprecedented pain!
Pain throbbed from his forehead, bridge of his nose, mouth, and chest, making Drought Jack realize that he wasn't dreaming and that what he was seeing was real.
"I actually..."
"I was actually seriously injured by a mere nobody?"
Drought Jack's previously unfocused eyes gradually regained focus. Despite his serious injuries, he should have avoided strenuous exercise to prevent his wounds from tearing open further.
But who is Jack the Drought?
The word "retirement" has never existed in his dictionary!
Instead, Drought Jack ripped off the steel jaw covering his mouth, stuck out his long tongue to lick away the blood that had trickled down his chin, and his eyes revealed an increasingly ruthless and reckless glint.
Taking advantage of the moment when Yang Ming's old strength had dissipated and his new strength had not yet been generated, that is, when Yang Ming was in mid-air and had not yet had time to sheathe his sword and retreat, and was also in the cooldown period of his Flash ability, Drought Jack did not retreat but advanced, and slammed into him hard with a Backstab.
The shoulder and elbow, like a speeding train on the sea, slammed fiercely into Yang Ming amidst the gushing blood from the bursting wounds.
"boom!"
At the critical moment, Yang Ming only had time to raise his hand to hold his Zanpakuto horizontally in front of him before he was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.
While in mid-air, Yang Ming stepped on the void, using the Moon Step technique to reduce the potential energy of his backward flight. Then, the tip of his blade plunged into the tilted deck of the Mammoth flagship, barely managing to stabilize himself.
With a casual flourish, Yang Ming shook off the numbness in his hand, his eyes sharp as knives, and he hissed:
"Come again!"
After saying that, Yang Ming stepped forward again.
Drought Jack grinned, revealing a row of sharp, shark-like teeth.
"Die to me!"
Ignoring his injuries, the burly giant lunged forward with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, leaving a bloody trail with each step, his momentum only increasing.
The intensity of the battle between the two sides was about to explode. The keel of the Mammoth flagship, which was already tilting, began to crack. The mast, which was as thick as five people could hug, broke in the middle under the strong wind from the aftershocks of the battle. With a "creak", it fell down, and the huge sail and the top of the mast fell into the turbulent sea, creating a huge wave.
Near the massive mammoth-shaped flagship, flames and thunder coexisted, and the aura of dryness and decay permeated the air.
At times, thick fog rises from the sea surface, and at other times, it appears as if thousands of lightning snakes are swimming across it.
Waves tens of meters high surged up from time to time, and before they could even crash onto the deck, they were shattered and scattered in mid-air like powder.
Centered around the two's fierce battle, a forbidden area was formed, inaccessible to ordinary people.
Anyone who lacks the strength to enter will surely be blasted into dust.
Seeing this, the pirates and bounty hunters watching from the sidelines were all dumbfounded.
Although Buggy the Clown joined the Akatsuki organization under Yang Ming's coercion and enticement, this was all based on the fact that Yang Ming had a firm grip on his heart, which made him wholeheartedly work for him. However, he was always resentful, feeling that he had once been an apprentice pirate on the Pirate King Roger's ship, and should not have been reduced to working for a little kid.
But now, gazing through binoculars at the fierce battle raging at sea, Bucky the Clown was so shocked his jaw nearly dropped to the ground. He patted his heartless chest, a wave of fear washing over him, and thought to himself:
"My goodness, is this guy really that scary?"
The pirates, including Breed, had previously thought that the navy on this steel warship was fighting a losing battle, and even secretly planned to salvage the steel warship and take it for themselves after the battle.
Looking back on what I was thinking just now, it was like being a frog in a well with a limited view of the sky!
"How could such a formidable navy be composed of an unknown figure?"
"Could it be that there's a naval conspiracy hidden here?"
Breed felt uneasy and was already considering backing out.
Breed can be seen as a microcosm, representing the reactions of many pirates.
Pirates who manage to survive on the Grand Line may not be good at other things, but they begin training in the skill of escape as soon as they set sail. Everyone learns how to escape, and once they sense something is wrong, they immediately prioritize their own safety, putting aside any ambitions for power, wealth, or beauty.
This is why Yang Ming could leave Charlotte Snag, one of the Four Sweet Commanders, in Water 7, but deliberately did not continue fighting with him, in order to avoid escalating the situation and alerting the pirates he had finally managed to lure away.
The situation is now very different from what it was a month ago.
Over the past month, Tina and her companions have been traveling throughout Water Seven, capturing criminals such as pirates and human traffickers, and have reached a critical point.
Even Buggy the Clown's swindling business is starting to get tough. Those pirates who aren't smart enough, have a poor sense of danger, and are greedy and foolish have all been caught and wiped out. The pirates who remain are all shrewd and intelligent. Although they have no evidence, they have all begun to realize that Buggy the Clown is not a good person and try to avoid contact with him.
Seeing the situation on Jack the Drought's side of the battlefield deteriorate rapidly, Black Maria felt a growing anxiety.
Black Maria is a user of the Ancient Seed Spider Fruit, the form of the Ancient Wolf Spider. Her upper body is that of a charming and beautiful woman, while her lower body is that of a terrifying spider.
In ancient times, the ancient wolf spider was a very powerful predator. Its fangs were covered with thick bristles, and its protruding brain lobe had two rows of eight curved eyes. It also had sharp teeth that could move up and down without pressing against each other.
While Black Maria's true form isn't quite that terrifying, it still retains a degree of ferocity. Her rose-colored fur sways gently, constantly capturing the breath flowing in the wind, and she can keenly discern the heat of various creatures. Even those who are completely transparent find it difficult to approach her, making her even more formidable than ordinary Observation Haki.
At this moment, the alluring woman's hair was slightly disheveled, and even the bun that held her hairstyle up was nowhere to be seen. Her black, low-cut, off-the-shoulder kimono bore various scratches from claws and sharp objects, and the blue floral pattern was no longer intact, like fallen petals leaving behind a mess. (Reading La)
Through the tear in the kimono, one could vaguely see skin as smooth as white porcelain.
At this moment, none of the three who were besieging Black Maria—Smoker, Rob Lucci, and Kaku—had the leisure to appreciate the beauty. Instead, they were solemnly dodging left and right, constantly avoiding the spider webs that covered the surrounding area.
"Damn the Navy!"
Black Maria was feeling irritated. She had originally wanted to go and help Jack the Drought, but the three people in front of her were like leeches, sticking to her even at the cost of serious injury, trying to stop her. This left her only able to grumble and curse, and the unease that enveloped her heart grew stronger.
"Hopefully, Jack can step up his game!"
For some reason, Black Maria couldn't muster any confidence.
That's really strange!
As if in response to Black Maria's wish, a colossal object suddenly shot out from the adjacent deck, like a giant bowling ball, smashing all the unlucky souls blocking its path to pieces.
