One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

A flash of cold light appeared first, followed by the sword striking like a dragon!

In that instant, Shanks became one with his sword, streaking across the sky like a human meteor, his Griffin fiercely stabbing down into the trunk of the Ten-Tails God Tree!

"Pfft!"

The bark was extremely tough, having withstood the repeated attacks from several members of the Red-Haired Pirates, but now it couldn't withstand Shanks' precise thrust. It pierced through the entire trunk as easily as a hot knife through butter.

Intense pain surged through his brain, waking the Ten-Tails from the dizzying state caused by Conqueror's Haki.

Realizing this, Shanks knew that time was of the essence. He suddenly exerted force in his hand, twisting the tip of his sword, intending to cut the entire Ten-Tails God Tree in half!

That Griffin truly lived up to its reputation as a rare sword in the world; seemingly slow, yet extremely resolute, it gradually widened the wound on the trunk of the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree.

An unbridled rage surged within the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree, and countless thick tendrils, each as thick as ten people could hug, rose from the ground, attempting to block Shanks.

Just then, Shanks's subordinates and Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk arrived, flanking Shanks and blocking all the oncoming Mushu, preventing any disruption to Shanks's tree-cutting operation.

Just as the wound on the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree was widening, oozing a viscous green liquid and emitting a refreshing fragrance, and just as it was about to be cleaved in two, a strange voice suddenly came from the sky.

"Who is destroying my saplings?"

The voices of mere outsiders could not possibly shake Shanks' resolve.

But when the stranger suddenly unleashed a powerful burst of Conqueror's Haki, everyone involuntarily stopped what they were doing.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

A fierce, crimson-black wind swept across the sky and earth, and a sense of oppressive power gripped everyone's hearts.

Chapter 346 Plunder, no different from evil

The voices of mere outsiders could not possibly shake Shanks' resolve.

But when the stranger suddenly unleashed a powerful burst of Conqueror's Haki, everyone involuntarily stopped what they were doing.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

A fierce, crimson-black wind swept across the sky and earth, and a sense of oppressive power gripped everyone's hearts.

In that instant, it felt as if a mountain had been placed on everyone's shoulders. The heavy pressure made everyone feel a sense of dread, as if they were being watched by some terrifying predator at the top of the food chain, and every cell in their bodies trembled.

Of all those present, the one who was most shocked was none other than Shanks, the Red-Haired.

"This kind of domineering aura..."

As the most domineering man in the world, Shanks dares to say that he ranks second in the strength of Conqueror's Haki, and no one dares to challenge him for first place.

But now, there is someone whose Conqueror's Haki is on par with his, and even slightly stronger.

But how is this possible?

In that instant, everyone, including Shanks, stopped what they were doing and looked up in the direction from which the sound came.

But then, the dark clouds that had been covering the sky parted at some point, revealing a crimson full moon. The huge red moon hung high in the air, with nine jet-black tomoe embedded in it, as if some deity was observing this world through the mouth of a bottle.

Under the dark red moonlight, the deep, black shadows resembled an inverted waterfall, cascading down from the sky island thousands of meters above. Under the sweeping force of the shadows, they gradually coalesced into a human form in mid-air.

This man was tall and strong, wearing a pale mask on his face, with a tear-shaped mark at the corner of his eye. The sea of ​​shadows transformed into a curtain covering the night sky, which also became the crown and cloak for the Shadow King.

When he stood with his hands behind his back in the sky, his domineering aura was like that of a shadowy king reigning over the world, which made people fall in love with him.

At this moment, everyone's minds went blank, and only one sentence could describe the person in front of them.

"Like the demon-slaying lord from heaven, he is truly the Tai Sui God on earth."

Such attire quickly evoked memories that everyone had glanced at in the corner.

"Li Qing, the Lord of the Night! He is the captain of the Dark Night Pirates! The new Emperor of the Sea!"

Even Shanks, the Red-Haired Emperor, was seeing this elusive Yonko for the first time. He frowned slightly and said:

"Li Qing, why are you stopping us?"

After dealing with the remnants of the Donquixote Family, Yang Ming received a message from the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree and rushed back without stopping.

It must be said that the Ten-Tails God Tree was ultimately a bit rigid. Faced with the siege of these top experts, it almost capsized in the ditch. If Yang Ming hadn't returned in time, the Ten-Tails God Tree would probably have been cleaved in two by Shanks' sword.

At that time, all the hard work will be in vain.

With his hands behind his back, Yang Ming slowly descended as if stepping on an invisible staircase, landing on the canopy of the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree. Facing the cold sea breeze, a cold snort came from under his mask.

"why?"

"I also want to ask you why you cut down the trees I planted without any reason!"

Yang Ming personally confirmed that the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree belonged to him.

The crowd was filled with astonishment and doubt. It was truly hard to imagine where Li Qing, the Lord of the Night, had obtained the seeds to plant such an evil demonic tree.

On this vast sea, there has always been a tradition of emperors not meeting each other.

This means that the Four Emperors will try to avoid meeting each other.

Top-tier powerhouses like the Four Emperors are under the scrutiny of the world. Their every move is magnified and interpreted by the outside world. If they make a mistake, it could lead to a huge disaster and cause turmoil and unrest in the ocean.

Furthermore, each sea emperor has a distinct personality.

Chapter 347 Meteor falling from the sky

"Plunder is no different from evil. From the moment we are born, we have been plundering without ceasing. Food, people we associate with, even our own blood relatives. To live means endless killing, slaughter, and plunder. Life, life is evil itself. I know I am evil, and so are you. Come, come and kill me. I will kill you too!"

As Yang Ming's slightly gloomy voice echoed through the night sky, a massive meteorite with a diameter of over 500 meters fell from the heavens.

As the meteorite fell, a thunderous roar echoed through the sky, accompanied by a dazzling flash of light. In the blink of an eye, it traced a bright, straight line as it plummeted from the heavens.

From a purely eyewitness perspective, the meteorite fell at a terrifying speed of ten kilometers per second, faster than the speed of sound.

Just by seeing the meteorite's terrifying speed, anyone with even a basic understanding of physics can see that the faster the speed, the more destructive force the falling object will cause.

Even though Shanks and his crew hadn't attended school for long and didn't understand physics, the warning from their Observation Haki felt like someone was blaring a horn in their ears. They immediately sensed something was wrong, abandoned everything they were doing, and retreated.

In fact, Shanks and his crew made the right decision.

What is it like to be struck by a meteorite with a diameter of over 500 meters?

Just imagine a stadium falling from the sky in your city, and you'll probably understand what's going on.

"boom!!!!!!!!!!!"

Suddenly, a dazzling flame rose from the ground. In that instant, the already battered Gaya Island trembled, twisted, cracked, and churned!

The ground was like a red carpet being lifted up, with waves rippling endlessly. Stepping on such ground felt like being on an unstable sea; without some skill, one could easily fall to the ground.

In that instant, a terrifying sonic boom swept over us.

Shanks and his crew suffered eardrum damage, blood trickled down their earlobes, and they temporarily lost their hearing.

Immediately afterwards, they felt a powerful wind pressure and shockwave coming from behind them, as if a pair of giant hands were pushing them from behind, causing their feet to involuntarily leave the ground and their whole bodies to be pushed away a hundred meters away.

Among the crowd, the weakest of them all, the monkey Mengshida, felt as if his internal organs were dislocated, causing him immense pain. He opened his mouth and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs. His face turned bluish-purple, and he looked extremely unwell, clearly suffering from severe internal injuries.

The wind pressure and shockwaves behind us continued, but as time went on, they finally calmed down.

Everyone stopped and turned around to look in the direction where the meteorite had fallen, gasping in shock.

However, the massive meteorite blasted a huge, misty ring in the center of Gaya Island, hollowing out the island and connecting it to the ocean beneath. From the perforated crater, a large amount of seawater gushed out, filling the crater in just a few breaths and forming a huge lake with an area of ​​over a kilometer.

The lake water was murky and the blood moon was reflected on its surface, making it look extremely eerie.

The magical tree took root by the lake. The trunk, which had been almost broken in half by Shanks, healed itself after several rounds of absorption by the tree roots. The stitches were no longer visible, as if it had never been injured at all.

Beneath the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree, a young man dressed in black robes stood with his hands behind his back, calmly facing the astonished and uncertain gazes of the crowd.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from Tokyo Ghoul. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to activate the prize wheel?"

A prize wheel appeared, but there were very few prizes on it.

Prizes: RC cells, Hercules pods...

【Scorpion】: A B-rank Quinque, a weapon with the appearance of a black dagger.

This ordinary weapon was simply tossed into a corner of Yang Ming's spatial ring to gather dust.

Of course, this weapon is not entirely useless. Perhaps it could be given as a prize to a distinguished subordinate in the navy, or perhaps it could be given to Caesar Clown to see what research insights he might gain.

On the other hand, since Yang Ming became Marshal Shura, Caesar Clown's status in the research institute has also risen accordingly. Now he seems to be able to rival Vegapunk. Moreover, in recent days, Caesar Clown has created some artificial Devil Fruits, which have indeed armed Yang Ming's loyal subordinates and provided strong support for him to complete his next plan.

Of course, that's a bit of a tangent.

After Yang Ming used his Heavenly Obstruction Star technique to subdue the Red-Haired Pirates and Dracule Mihawk, he looked at them with a forced smile and said:

"Do you want to continue fighting?"

This time, the ball was kicked back to their feet.

To be honest, if it were just Shanks alone, Yang Ming would really be tempted to kill him here. In that case, another Yonko would be eliminated, and the pressure on the Navy he led would be greatly reduced.

Currently, the strength of Shanks leading his Red-Haired Pirates crew, including Vice-Captain Ben Beckman and Dracule Mihawk, is only slightly inferior to Shanks himself. The actual difference isn't significant; they can be considered to be at the Emperor level.

As for Shanks' other subordinates, such as Yasopp and Lucky Bean, they all possess Yonko-level combat power and are not spineless but tough guys. Yang Ming did not have the confidence to wipe them all out here.

Moreover, Yasopp's son, Usopp, is a sniper with miraculous abilities, always managing to turn the tide when the Straw Hat Pirates are in the most danger. No one knows if Yasopp also possesses this unique luck.

Luck, like fate, is a mysterious and unpredictable thing.

Yang Ming was a materialist who didn't believe in luck at all, but he also didn't want to experience what it was like to suffer misfortune.

If it were any other time, Shanks would have readily agreed to the terms given that Lee Sin was the elusive Lord of the Night. It would have been a win-win situation, allowing everyone to sit down and chat without the need for fighting. Wouldn't that have been much better?

But things are different now!

Chapter 348 One Against Two: Fighting Red Hair and Hawkeye Alone

If it were any other time, Shanks would have readily agreed to the terms given that Lee Sin was the elusive Lord of the Night. It would have been a win-win situation, allowing everyone to sit down and chat without the need for fighting. Wouldn't that have been much better?

But things are different now!

Perhaps it was the influence of Mother Nature, or perhaps it was Shanks's strong sense of justice, but Shanks rejected Yang Ming's request for a ceasefire almost without hesitation.
