Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

"If we don't take action now—"

"I wouldn't mind letting you die on the ice!"

His eyes flashed with a fierce light.

He won't show any mercy.

Anyway!

That brat named Locke, he doesn't only have one woman, does he?

The World Government...

All he promised was the result.

process?

Who cares about that? He's an unruly pirate, not one of those Navy dogs!

Someone will clean up the mess eventually, won't they?

"Roar--"

The ferocious howls of wolves transformed into sonic waves, shattering towering ice pillars in an instant.

Extremely strong.

Profound heritage.

Even among Emperor-level powerhouses, they are by no means weak.

He threatened her with a punch.

He directly lunged at them.

Click——

clang! !

As the ice crystals collided, an ice-colored lotus flower emerged.

Esdeath didn't even raise her hand, easily deflecting his forced attack.

"Oh?"

Finger looked slightly surprised.

Although this move was comparable to a blunder for him, it was still at least at the level of a King-level general, yet it was so easily countered.

"Tsk tsk..."

"It seems your strength is greater than I thought."

A mocking gaze.

It's like looking at a toy that's beyond expectations.

His triangular eyes narrowed, and a crushing force gathered in his right hand, ready to close in.

Click——

A dazzling hexagonal ice flower suddenly rose from the ground.

It shot straight up and blocked his way.

The dissipating cold air could freeze even a deputy emperor-level expert without them noticing.

"fighting?"

"It seems like there's been a misunderstanding."

"Your opponent... has never been me..."

A cold sound echoed from the icicle.

Esdeath, standing on the Ice Fang, had her eyes filled with endless cold light.

"what?"

"No, it's not?"

"What a joke! Do you really think you have the right to choose?"

Fingri was so angry that he laughed.

How dare this lowly woman, a mere quack general, be so arrogant in front of Moonshadow? He is the Moonshadow Wolf King, who once rivaled Lox; countless quack generals have died under his moonlight…

"court death!!"

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and a tyrannical expression was revealed.

No matter how much he disguises himself on the surface, deep down he is still that bloodthirsty lone wolf.

The sword flashed.

They were about to behead her.

With a light spin, the crescent-shaped blade could easily cut through even meteorite iron, let alone a mere neck.

A speed that is like a blur.

It's far beyond what a single Emperor-level cultivator could react to.

clang--

The curved blade slashed down, making a metallic clang.

When he opened his eyes, what he saw was not the soul-stirring scene he had expected, but a severing of flesh and blood.

Instead, a massive mechanical arm, accompanied by a deafening roar, stood firmly in front of him, the curved blade embedded in the mechanical structure, held in place by the immense force of the mechanical drive, unable to advance an inch.

"Your opponent!"

"it's me--"

The mature woman's resolute voice rang out.

The roar of machinery and the resulting wind ruffled her fine, silver hair, revealing her single, grey eye beneath.

Tenacity!

Ling Lie!

It possesses an all-seeing sharpness!

Chapter 198: The flame that scorched the void and created the world!

"you?!"

"She's just a stinky woman!"

Finger looked disdainful. The World Government had already provided intelligence that Locke's strongest subordinates were only a few near-admirals. No matter how strange their Devil Fruit abilities were, they hadn't broken through that barrier.

He's only acting aggressively because the power he's developed is too bizarre. As long as you're a little careful, he poses absolutely no threat to you. A life-or-death crisis? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

With a flick of his right fist, sharp claws shot out, each one as sharp as a renowned sword.

Even if it's just a casual move.

Even for a veteran general-level powerhouse like this, he should not be underestimated.

boom!

The claw's shadow pierced the air.

Severing space.

It was as if even the sky was being torn apart by his power.

boom!

A tremendous roar of mechanical power rang out, and the mechanical arm, even more robust than a famous sword, directly met the attack head-on under Najenda's control, refusing to retreat an inch.

Emperor-level!

The new power after the breakthrough is fully unleashed, showcasing its immense strength to the fullest!

Her strength has improved.

It is not surprising that mechanical structures, which have long been part of the body, are also included.

Streaks of dark light moved across the machinery.

It exudes an extraordinary aura.

The power source has also been optimized countless times.

"At least--"

"Five times the power!"

Najenda estimated the strength of the mechanical arm armor, her face full of surprise. This was the advantage of being a Teigu user and a weapon spirit. Ordinary strong people had to upgrade all their equipment when they broke through, but they all transformed along with it. As their strength grew, they didn't have to worry about becoming outdated.

The minimum standard is guaranteed.

"This kind of power..."

"You've broken through!?"
