Genshin Impact, but the chat group

"To be able to unsheathe the Dragon Sword with only your right hand remaining, you must be the strongest of the three."

Although Reinhard was a humble person, he understood how strong his opponent was. The opponent dared to face him even with only one right hand, and was also more than half a head taller than him. The opponent must be the strongest of the three.

"Well, I don't know."

Shanks grinned.

"Because I've never fought against them before."

"Is that so?"

Reinhard did not receive any specific information, but the information he did receive seemed to make him feel even worse.

A swordsman who can make the Dragon Sword draw its sheath on its own, and two other enemies of unknown strength, and three of whom I have never seen before, where did they all come from?

"Alright, that's enough said, Sword Saint, let's begin."

Shanks gripped the hilt of Griffin at his waist with his right hand.

"Ah, come on!"

Reinhard slowly drew a section of the Dragon Sword out.

Shanks couldn't help but grin as he saw that Reinhard's sword wasn't even fully drawn, unleashing his full Conqueror's Haki!

A terrifying aura swept over Reinhard.

196. Lai Aotian's first defeat!

Conqueror's Haki, the power that made Shanks famous.

Among the Four Emperors, Whitebeard is famous for his Tremor-Tremor Fruit and is known as the "Strongest Man in the World." Kaido of the Beasts is famous for his powerful body after eating the Azure Dragon Fruit and is known as the "Strongest Creature." Big Mom possesses the incredibly destructive power of the Soul-Soul Fruit and also has incredibly strong defense, earning her the title of "Iron Balloon." However, Shanks' title is only "Red-Haired."

Because Shanks is the only one among the Four Emperors who does not have a Devil Fruit ability, his strength relies purely on his powerful physical strength and his mastery of the three types of Haki: Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and the strongest Conqueror's Haki he possesses!

Conqueror's Haki strikes first!

The terrifying pressure poured outwards from Shanks, and although it was an open area, the civilians in the slums in the distance were also affected. Under the impact of Shanks' Conqueror's Haki, they rolled their eyes and fainted.

Reinhard's body trembled as he faced Shanks, but he withstood the terrifying pressure of Conqueror's Haki and looked up at Shanks, who was smiling.

"What is this? A blessing? I feel like I can't move at all. No, there's no blessing on you. Is it magic? Earth-based gravity magic? No, there's no mana circulating in your body. What is this?"

With the blessing of Judgment, Reinhard can see through the blessings his enemies possess, and then he can easily obtain a blessing that counters the other party whenever he wants. However, after looking over just now, he found that Shanks had no blessings at all, and the mana required to use magic was completely unresponsive. In other words, the other party did not use magic or blessings at all, and simply glanced at him, yet he felt his body become heavy.

"This is Conqueror's Haki, just one of my signature moves."

Shanks explained with a smile.

"But it doesn't seem to have any effect on you, buddy."

"Ah, I have a special physique from the Sword Saint family that allows me to automatically convert magic power to strengthen my body. Although I did feel a bit heavy for a moment just now, I feel much better now."

Reinhardt's speech gradually became more fluent, and the pressure he felt before disappeared.

"Oh, so it's no use trying to take down Sword Saint with Conqueror's Haki. In that case, we'll have to settle this with swordsmanship."

Shanks stomped on the ground and transformed into a blur as he rushed toward Reinhard, while Reinhard also left and drew his Dragon Sword.

choke--

The Dragon Sword clashed with Griffin's blade, and the impact of their collision instantly cleared away the dust around them, making the entire area much cleaner.

"Not bad, Sword Saint! How about this then?"

Taking advantage of his height, Shanks wrapped Griffin in Armament Haki and swept him away with a powerful horizontal motion.

"Such powerful strength! And I just sensed a different aura, what was that?"

After being knocked back and sliding ten meters, Lai Aotian regained his balance and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Armament Haki, it can enhance my attack and defense."

Shanks made no attempt to conceal his abilities and even directly told Reotian about them.

"Well then, it's time to get into the serious battle phase!"

With a single stomp, Shanks created a deep crater in the muddy ground. He charged directly in front of Lai Aotian, slashing his sword vertically from top to bottom, instantly pinning Lai Aotian to the spot. The ground beneath Lai Aotian's feet was shattered by Shanks's heavy blow. With Armament Haki surrounding him, the impact force generated by Shanks's sword strike began to experience a qualitative leap, making it increasingly difficult for Lai Aotian to cope.

"It seems that this sword saint is not as strong as I thought."

Of the two onlookers, Aizen looked at Rao Tian's performance with some confusion.

"Well, the strength of Leotian lies in the numerous buffs he possesses. These buffs give him a natural advantage when fighting against the mages and elves of this world. He is a warrior with extremely high magic resistance, and he is also immune to control. Moreover, he will never be ambushed. Against those mages and elves with limited melee abilities, he can just get close and kill them indiscriminately."

"When facing the same melee units, his dragon sword and the enhanced physique that comes with his sword saint family allow him to gain an advantage in melee combat. Although he cannot use magic, he can directly absorb mana from the atmosphere to strengthen his body and his slashes."

In the anime, Leo is most famous for his "art style transformation sword" move during his fight with the Gutslayer! One sword strike completely changes the character's art style. If this were on the Moon, it would be like unleashing magic power followed by a light cannon, making his normal attacks a powerful area-of-effect light cannon.

Ordinary weapons simply cannot withstand Leotian's magical output. After a single strike, those weapons would turn to dust due to overload. Only the Dragon Sword can withstand his immense power.

His basic attack is a light-based attack, which means that few melee units in this world can fight him. They simply can't beat him.

"However, his current opponent, Shanks, happens to be someone he doesn't get along with."

Li Yue pointed to Shanks on the battlefield, who was constantly clashing with Lai Aotian and directly suppressing him.

"Shanks, nicknamed Red-Haired Shanks, is one of the Four Emperors of the One Piece world. The Four Emperors are the four strongest pirates. All the strong people in the One Piece world have one thing in common: incredibly terrifying physical abilities."

"The strong in their world are generally physically powerful, with strong and enduring combat abilities, and they are all taller than the last. In our eyes, Shanks' height of 2 meters is already considered tall, but in their world, Shanks is actually considered short, and his body is even considered thin."

"And the three types of Haki in their world give them incredibly terrifying physical destructive power, allowing them to easily destroy islands and countries. There is no such thing as magic; it is pure physical destruction!"

Li Yue then pointed to Leo Tian, ​​who was clashing with Shanks.

"As for Reinhard, the power he can exert against such a pure physical warrior is very limited, because to fight against Shanks, one must have a stronger body, greater strength, and faster speed! But in these aspects, Reinhard is currently no match for Shanks."

"In terms of conventional strength, he definitely can't compare to Shanks. The only way he can beat Shanks now is to compete with Shanks in terms of explosive power and see who has the greater explosive power."

No matter how strong the Sword Saint's blessing or how strong his physical enhancement, Rao Tian's physical abilities still cannot compete with Shanks, especially Shanks under Armament Haki, whose strength is among the top of the Four Emperors.

Therefore, if Leo wants to win, he can only surpass Shanks in terms of burst damage, but Shanks has no shortage of burst damage.

"Hey~ Sword Saint Bro, if that's all you're doing, it's not very interesting."

Shanks steadily suppressed Lei Aotian, while constantly making sarcastic remarks.

"What an unprecedentedly powerful opponent, Mr. Shanks."

Lai Aotian resisted while responding.

"By the way, what is that sword in your hand? This is the first time I've encountered a sword that has been able to withstand the Dragon Sword for so long without being damaged."

"You mean Griffin? He's my most trusted partner."

With a powerful sweep, Shanks knocked Leo back once again, then raised Griffin in his hand and praised him with a smile.

Meanwhile, Li Yue, standing behind, once again adopted the expression of a villain.

"Leo Tian, ​​if you don't bring out your real skills soon, none of our accomplices in the capital will be able to stop us. There's a guy in the capital who's just as strong as Shanks."

"So that's how it is. You lured me out here, intending to eliminate me while also planning to make your move in the capital. It seems I'll have to go all out to deal with you."

Lai Aotian took a deep breath, gripped the hilt of the Dragon Sword with both hands, and began to absorb large amounts of mana from the atmosphere. Magic began to fill his body, and blue light began to emerge from the blade of the Dragon Sword.

"Oh, finally something interesting is happening."

Shanks laughed again.

"I'm sorry, but because your power is too great, I have no choice but to unleash my true power. With the help of the Dragon Sword, this move is very powerful. Mr. Shanks, be careful not to die on the spot."

Lei Aotian gave Shanks very thoughtful instructions.

"Oh! I can feel it now, there's a sense of pressure. In that case, I'll have to deal with it properly."

Shanks' Griffin began to flash with black and red light, enveloped in Conqueror's Haki!

"This is the swordsmanship of the Astrea family!"

Lei Aotian lowered his body and stared at the Griffin in Shanks' hand, which was flashing with black and red light.

"Although you already know my identity, please allow me to introduce myself: Reinhard van Astrea, from a family of sword saints!"

"Red-Haired Shanks!"

Shanks also readily introduced himself again.

Rao Tian raised the Dragon Sword with both hands and charged towards Shanks, while Shanks also charged towards Rao Tian.

"Although I don't know any particular school of swordsmanship, this move of mine does have a name."

"Then, please tell me the name of this move."

"No problem, this was taught to me by my former captain. The name of this move is..."

After Shanks got close to Leo, he slashed directly at Leo, while Leo unleashed a basic attack with his lightsaber.

"God avoids!"

The enormous blue beam of light collided with the black and red lightning strike.

boom--

A massive impact erupted in the slum's open space, with black and red lightning and blue magical beams intertwined and shooting into the sky. The accompanying shockwave instantly blew away and cleared away all the surrounding buildings.

"Shocking!"

Li Yue raised her hand, and a series of stone pillars rose up around the battlefield. The golden light curtain between the pillars blocked the impact, binding it all in the middle, and then poured down towards the sky to prevent the expanding shockwave from affecting a larger area of ​​the slums. Throughout the entire capital, the black, red, and blue intertwined pillars of light that shot into the sky could be seen, and the few clouds in the sky were instantly dispersed by the shockwave.

After the light faded, a huge crater appeared on the original battlefield. Shanks, holding Griffin in his right hand, stood unharmed in the center of the crater, while opposite him was Leo, who was panting slightly and whose clothes were badly torn.

He maintained his stance, holding the Dragon Sword with both hands, and looked at Shanks with an extremely solemn expression.

"Mr. Shanks, who exactly are you?"

"Well, he's just a free-spirited pirate!"

In the contest of power, Lai Aotian, who used a sword technique that suddenly changed its style, lost!

197. You shall die!

"Hurry! Hurry! The assembled knights are rushing to the scene of the incident at full speed."

At the headquarters of the Royal Guard Knights, Vice Commander Julius Euclius was directing the knights to set off quickly.

"Julius, is there any news from the capital?"

The knights left behind to guard him watched as Julius prepared to depart and couldn't help but ask him questions.
