As his breathing became increasingly rapid, Luffy could feel his stamina being rapidly depleted, flowing away with the evaporation of large amounts of sweat from his body.
If this drags on, they will likely suffer a crushing defeat.
On the other hand, Shuzo has been practicing the Vajra Indestructible Boy Technique for many years, which has given him a body of steel and iron, with an all-around iron body. When combined with Armament Haki, his defensive power is greatly increased.
Luffy and his crew's prized fighting skills were completely ineffective against Shuzo, giving the impression of all talk and no action, amounting to nothing.
Just as the two groups were locked in fierce combat, they suddenly felt the ground shake violently.
"Rumble! Rumble! Rumble..."
The violent earthquake that shook the heavens and earth brought the entire battle to a standstill.
Whether it was the kingdom's rebels, the kingdom's guards, or Luffy's crew, they all looked up in surprise, gazing at the ocean stretching out before them.
The enormous waves reached hundreds of meters high. Before the unprecedented tsunami could even erupt, the water began to freeze from bottom to top into huge icebergs, radiating an extremely cold and icy aura.
Even though the capital Albana is some distance from the sea, at least ten kilometers away, people could still feel a strong, cold wind howling from the coast.
Despite the consistently high temperatures in the Kingdom of Alabasta, the long-unchanging climate began to change drastically after this cold wind from the sea swept in. The air temperature dropped sharply, giving people a chilly feeling, though it felt pleasant on the skin.
The intense heat and the cold air collided and reacted, intertwining with each other, causing large amounts of water vapor to rise into the air, forming dark clouds that shrouded the sky, accompanied by rumbling thunder.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
After the thunder, a torrential downpour began.
The cool rain fell on the desert, bringing hope to the people who had long awaited its rain.
As the leader of the rebels and also the head of the revolutionary base, Kou Sha's reaction was exceptional; he immediately preemptively shouted:
"Comrades, Heaven is watching us. Our actions are just and righteous. As long as we can overthrow the corrupt rule of the Kingdom of Alabasta, we will always be able to bask in the rain!"
Ordinary people at the bottom of society are often ignorant because they lack knowledge, have limited contact with people, and have a narrow worldview. They are easily led to believe in mysterious things like destiny and fate.
Most of the rebel soldiers were poor civilians from the Kingdom of Alabasta. After hearing Kosha's speech, they were all energized, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Do not doubt this: when someone believes what they are doing is sacred and has immediate benefits, they can unleash unprecedented potential.
While the rebels' morale soared, the morale of the Kingdom's Guard inevitably plummeted.
There's nothing we can do about it. For the past few years, the Kingdom of Alabasta has hardly seen any rain. But now that the rebels have attacked the capital, Albana, it's pouring rain. It seems like a divine intervention.
Unlike their reactions, Luffy and his crew were more concerned about what had happened at the beach that caused such a drastic change in the weather.
That iceberg, hundreds of meters high, stretched along the coastline, and even from a distance, they could still feel the terrifying destructive power it contained.
Luffy and his crew wondered if they would have been wiped out if they were in that situation.
However, this enormous iceberg was suddenly struck by a terrible blow.
A terrifying slash spanning over a thousand meters tore a huge crack along the mountainside of the iceberg.
Immediately afterwards, this majestic iceberg, which seemed insurmountable to others, collapsed with a deafening roar.
"Gulu!"
Usopp's eyes widened to the size of duck eggs, his throat bobbed up and down for a moment, he swallowed hard, and his two little legs swung erratically as if he were having an epileptic seizure.
"Oh my God!"
"The outside world is so scary, I want to go back to my hometown!"
Usopp is still young and indecisive. Seeing how dangerous the pirate world is, he even felt a little hesitant to retreat.
After all, he was just a sniper. He might have an extraordinary talent for shooting, but his physical abilities were just those of an ordinary person, and he couldn't compare to those monster rookies at all.
In contrast, Zoro's eyes suddenly lit up with an intense longing when he saw that terrifying slash.
"If only I had such swordsmanship..."
Kuina's image involuntarily surfaced in his mind. The thought of his childhood sweetheart now being with that man caused Zoro a dull ache in his heart, and his hair appeared even greener than usual.
Throughout history, women have been men's primary source of productivity.
As you can see, the good-for-nothing who broke off his engagement became incredibly popular for a time.
Zoro gritted his teeth and turned to rush towards the sea.
He wanted to experience the battles of top swordsmen firsthand and learn unparalleled swordsmanship from them.
This is an extremely bold and dangerous thing. In a battle between top experts, the aftershocks of the battle can reach you at any moment, and you could be killed at any time.
Zoro didn't care; all he could think about was getting stronger.
The moment Zoro took a step forward with his left foot, his motives were already seen by Shuzo, who had been observing Luffy and his crew.
Shuzo activated the ape form of his artificial Devil Fruit. The giant ape stood like a black iron tower in front of Zoro's path, blocking the way and leaving the grim-faced Zoro standing in his way. He thought to himself:
"I can't let you go and disturb the general's battle."
Moreover, this time they are acting in secret, and there is absolutely no way they can let the outside world know that they are plotting to kill the Five Elders.
Otherwise, if the truth were to leak out, everyone involved would die.
At that time, though the world is vast, there will be no place for them to hide.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from Genshin Impact. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to activate the prize wheel?"
A lottery wheel that looked quite familiar to Yang Ming appeared.
The prizes on the lottery wheel are divided into several categories: summoned characters, artifacts, items, talent skills, and skins.
Summoned characters: Jean, Diluc, Klee, Venti, Mona...
Relics: Flower of Life, Feather of Death, Sands of Time, Goblet of Emptiness, Crown of Reason...
Items: Eye of God, Wind-Catching Bottle, Pocket Anchor... AP.
Innate Skills: West Wind Swordsmanship, Wind Pressure Sword, Dandelion Wind, Traveling with the Wind...
Skins: Sea Breeze Dream, Shining Concerto, Orchid in Gauze...
【Witch's Heart of Fire】: One of the Witch's Artifact Sets. (4/4)
Collect both pieces for the set bonus: Gain 15% Pyro DMG Bonus.
Collect all four pieces for the following effects: Increases damage dealt by Overload, Burning, and Blazing reactions by 40%, increases the bonus coefficient of Vaporize and Melt reactions by 15%, and increases the effect of the two-piece set bonus by 50% for 10 seconds after using an Elemental Skill. This effect can stack up to 3 times.
Yang Ming, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Jaigollucia Satan Saint, suddenly stopped, and boundless joy rose in his heart.
After such a long time, he finally managed to gather all the necessary components.
Only from today onwards will he be able to unleash the true power of Ryujin Jakka's Bankai!
When Ryujin Jakka reaches its full Bankai state, it can reach a surface temperature of 2000 million degrees Celsius!
The Five Elders, the Four Emperors, and Lord Im—they all have to die!
Seemingly sensing the undisguised killing intent that Yang Ming unleashed in that instant, Jaigolusia Satan's heart sank.
Yang Ming's strength exceeded Jaigolsia Satan's expectations, and coupled with his endless stream of tricks, Jaigolsia Satan was already feeling somewhat exhausted.
If Yang Ming still had some trump cards up his sleeve at this point, Jaigollucia Satan would be in a very awkward situation.
"It seems that only by gathering the combined power of the Five Elders can we have an absolute chance of killing Yang Ming."
"Damn it, they had to ambush me when I left the Holy Land of Mary Geoise alone. It's all because of those good-for-nothings and traitors in the CP organization who betrayed me!"
People tend to become more prone to rambling as they get older.
Clearly, even though Jaigolusia Satan is a Celestial Dragon and one of the Five Elders who holds power over the world, he is still not immune to worldly vices.
Just as Jaigolusia Satan was pondering whether he should temporarily retreat to find outside help, he suddenly saw Yang Ming's Zanpakuto ignite with blazing flames.
"Jaygorusia Satan Saint, have you ever felt the temperature of the sun?"
Jaigolusia Satan Saint: "???"
Just as he was puzzled, he suddenly saw a dazzling spot of light that seemed to come from the sun.
Chapter 293 I Saw Water! That's called, Tears.
The Kingdom of Alabasta, with its capital Albana.
At this very moment, the Kingdom's rebels are engaged in the fiercest battle to breach the city walls with the Kingdom's Guard. With the help of Iron Man Mark I, some brave Revolutionary Army soldiers have already taken the lead in scaling the walls. Thanks to the Revolutionary Army's unique unity and teamwork, they have already occupied a section of the walls, helping more comrades to scale them up.
Every moment, people fall off the city wall. The wall is more than ten meters high, which is enough to cause serious injury to ordinary people when they fall to the ground. Not to mention that this is a battlefield like a meat grinder. Once you fall off the wall, you will be trampled into mincemeat and die a horrible death.
At this critical juncture, the Kingdom's Guard really didn't have any good solutions.
Even the Marine branch they considered reinforcements was delayed by the damned Straw Hat Pirates, further demonstrating to them what despair truly meant.
As for the Straw Hat Pirates, who unwittingly became the scapegoats, they are also currently in dire straits.
The reason it's not a desperate situation but merely a difficult one is that it's a challenge for Luffy and his crew. Commodore Shuzo has never intended to kill them; he's just been a whetstone, stimulating Luffy and his crew to grow.
Despite his expressionless face and the fact that he never says anything provocative or contradictory, Luffy and his crew feel deeply hurt by Shuzo's undisguised contemptuous gaze.
"Rubber rubber rubber rubber... Rubber rocket launcher!"
When Luffy activated Gear Second, he was like someone who had been injected with adrenaline. Not only was his body burning hot, but he was also emitting steam. His two bulging fists stretched out behind him, at least ten meters long.
With sufficient stretching, the unique toughness and elasticity of rubber allow Luffy to achieve a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.
The ferocious force, enough to send a 200-pound fat man flying, was all gathered in the two fists, and like two rockets exploding, it fiercely pounded on Brigadier General Xiu Zuo's rock-solid chest.
Despite having transformed into the enormous size of a gorilla and possessing complete defense with Armament Haki, Shuzo involuntarily staggered back three steps the instant he took Luffy's full-force attack.
Don't think that it's a small matter for someone of his rank to take three steps back.
It's worth noting that when Shuzo first fought Luffy and his crew, they couldn't even make him take half a step back!
Feeling the dullness and pain in his chest, Xiu Zuo's face darkened, and he thought to himself:
"I can only say, as expected of the general's younger brother?"
"In the short exchange, Luffy not only adapted to this level of combat, but his power also seemed to increase without limit. If given more time, it is not impossible for him to surpass us."
"What a monster!"
"Fortunately, I've seen things that were even more monstrous than this before!"
Recalling when Yang Ming joined his ranks under the introduction of Chief Instructor Zephyr, Yang Ming was just a captain. In just a few short years, Yang Ming's strength has increased exponentially, and now he has become one of the three famous admirals of the Navy Headquarters.
