From the Wandenreich's escape to One Piece

Chapter 121 Battle with the Navy Marshal, Word of Power: Black Sun!

Outside the Naval Headquarters, above the boundless sea.

Beltz, transformed into a streak of blue light, sped ahead, while the robust figure behind him relentlessly pursued him like a leech, his boundless rage almost tangible, leaving an invisible, scorching trail between the sea and the sky.

The admiral of the Navy Headquarters was chasing him, but Beltz remained completely unfazed.

He was a little worried if Garp and Sengoku came after him.

But if it's empty, then forget it.

The admirals of Kong's generation were of average strength, and the admirals of his generation were killed by Rocks during his escape.

Fighting only at the Marine Headquarters is not enough; there are too many Marines there, and they are all elites.

Although most of them were rookies, there were also some lieutenant generals who, while not posing much of a threat to Beltz, could potentially cause disruption during combat.

If you are disturbed in battle, just look at the consequences of Kozuki Oden and Luffy fighting Kaido.

So he flew out of the Marine Headquarters, and Sora followed him all the way.

He saw a small island ahead and immediately fell from the sky.

He couldn't fight in the sky either, since he had eaten a Devil Fruit. If he were knocked down and fell into the sea, he would be doomed.

So we need to find a small island as the battlefield.

Almost simultaneously, the sky crashed down on the opposite side like a meteorite, and the rocks beneath his feet shattered radially.

He straightened up and looked at Beltz, who had stopped to wait, his anger burning even more intensely.

"What an arrogant fellow!"

"It's a pity it was more than thirty years too early, otherwise we could have traded your head for five billion Berries!"

Beltz looked at Sora, who had also fallen to the ground, and said, "Fifty billion?" Sora frowned upon hearing this, not quite understanding what Beltz meant.

Of course he didn't know, after all, this was a naval bounty put out by Bucky thirty-five years later, and a naval admiral was worth five billion Berries.

Five billion Berries, that's not a small amount. Even for someone as wealthy as Beltz, it's a decent income.

Unfortunately, there's nowhere to redeem it now.

Beltz immediately entered his dragon-human form!

boom!

Instantly, dark blue-black dragon scales emerged from beneath its skin, and with a flick of its tail, powerful energy emanated from it!

"What?!"

Upon seeing Beltz's transformation, Sora exclaimed in shock, "So you're the thief!"

Seeing Beltz's current dragon-human form, what else didn't he understand? This guy was the thief who stole the Celestial Dragons' treasure in God Valley!

"You answered correctly, but unfortunately there's no reward, only punishment!" Beltz said in a deep voice, "I'm going to kill you!"

Yes, he's going to kill Sora!

This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; he had this idea before coming here, otherwise he wouldn't have insisted on transferring Garp and Sengoku away.

As for why to do this, it's quite simple.

He's going to conduct an experiment!

He wanted to test whether a soul would be created if someone from the One Piece world were brought to the Bleach world at the moment before their death!

If a soul were to emerge, would it be considered a person from the pirate world or the Bleach world?

If he were a person from the world of Bleach, then he could essentially drag the dead humans from the One Piece world into the world of Bleach, making them permanent residents who wouldn't need his resources to maintain their existence!

This kind of experiment is not very useful for ordinary people, since the souls of ordinary people are too weak. Bringing them to the world of death would not be of much use, and it would not show any consumption.

A naval admiral like Kong is just right!

Moreover, Kong is the future commander of the World Government's three armed forces. Eliminating him in advance can be considered as contributing to the future peace of this world.

boom!

Beltz knew that time was of the essence; if things dragged on, the navy fleet would likely arrive soon.

Secondly, it's unclear how long Shiki can hold out.

According to the setting of Chapter Zero, Shiki was able to corner Roger, but was ultimately defeated by a great storm.

But such words are meaningless. Roger has been pushed to the brink of despair many times, but he always escapes unscathed.

Furthermore, it's uncertain whether the setting of Episode Zero will even hold true, and it's unknown to what extent Shiki and his fleet can fight Roger.

As an ally, he certainly needed to help Shiki.

Moreover, there are Garp and Sengoku, who haven't been at sea for long and could return at any time.

In conclusion, he must end this battle as soon as possible!

Word of Power: The Bronze Throne!

His body was strengthened once again, and the dragon scales that had grown on his body once again showed a bronze-like metallic luster. Countless powers surged from his body!

From the very beginning, we went all out!

boom!

After learning that Beltz was the Azure Dragon Thief, Kong vowed to capture him. Knowing that the other party was powerful, he immediately threw an incredibly powerful punch!

boom!

He actually possesses Conqueror's Haki?!

With Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki simultaneously swirling around his fist, this punch represented his unwavering determination to kill!

However, Beltz also threw a punch. Although this punch was only wrapped in Armament Haki, combined with his current ability and his own Conqueror's Haki protection, it collided with Kong's fist in an instant!

boom!

It was like two shooting stars colliding!

The rumbling sound continued incessantly at this moment, and black lightning either shot out straight out or radiated out in a meandering and twisting manner like stretched threads.

Just like in the lab before, the moment their fists collided, a huge explosion occurred!

Centered on the two people, the solid rock beneath their feet collapsed and shattered like a cookie trampled by a giant!

A giant crater with a diameter of over 300 meters and a depth of over ten meters was formed in an instant!

The shockwave also snapped all the trees hundreds of meters outside the crater in half!

What?!

And after that punch, the one who was blasted away was none other than Fleet Admiral Kong!

Kong's eyes widened in disbelief. He never imagined that his strength was inferior to that of the guy opposite him.

His body was blasted away, flying out of the crater they had created in an instant, and crashing into the still sturdy trees further away, collapsing several of them!

And Beltz—

Not moving at all!

Although he failed to give chase, his body remained firmly in place, and the empty punch did almost no damage to him!

This is also his characteristic; in terms of defense, he is almost unmatched in the world of pirates.

"Jun Yan!"

He opened his mouth again in an instant and exhaled a fiery breath!

Boom! The blazing flames were like pillars of fire shooting out of the sun, and the temperature of the entire island seemed to rise.

Empty arm trembled from the impact of the previous punch, and seeing the pillar of fire shooting towards him, he could only kick out fiercely!

Storm kick!

The blade of air that shot out struck Jun Yan, but it could not stop Jun Yan's progress. He could only jump upwards and try his best to avoid the pillar of fire.

Boom!

The pillar of fire instantly pierced through his previous position and even shot out of the island, extending into the sea!

The vast sea surface was instantly vaporized by the scorching heat and powerful impact, and could not close up for a long time, forming a long path!

"You bastard—"

Kong said in a deep voice, "In just three short years, he has grown to this level!"

In terms of intelligence, although Beltz was coming and going during the God Valley incident three years ago, he definitely did not have the power he has now.

No, it's far inferior to its current strength.

But I never imagined he'd become this powerful!

There are many things you wouldn't expect.

Beltz used Flying Kick again, quickly rushing in front of Kong and throwing another punch!

The bare hands used to block created another terrifying and domineering clash.

puff!

Black lightning seemed to spread throughout the entire island, and the two figures disappeared the moment they collided, only to reappear in the distance the next instant.

Beltz had indeed underestimated Sora. He originally thought Sora didn't have Conqueror's Haki, but he didn't expect that this guy would have Conqueror's Haki and even know how to entangle it.

Even so, Beltz was able to maintain a firm advantage!

The battle might just take longer.

No, I can't wait any longer!

This place is, after all, near the Marine Headquarters. He can already sense that the warships of the Marine Headquarters are heading this way!

If that's the case—

He kicked Kong hard, and Kong's fist also hit Beltz in the face with a loud thud!

Beltz's body tilted slightly, and Kong's body was kicked away again!

Then, Beltz clenched his hands again, instantly summoning winds within a ten-kilometer radius!

Centered on him, air currents over thousands of kilometers and even wider areas of the ocean began to rage!

The invisible wind was forcibly mobilized and gathered, like all rivers flowing into the sea, forming a swirling milky-white band of air that surged wildly into the sky above the island!

A dazzling plasma sphere, highly concentrated and with its internal temperature soaring dramatically, began to take shape!

This was the very same blow he used to kill Wang Zhi!

No, it's not that simple!

The plasma that killed Wang Zhi back then was just a prototype, but now this is his real killing move!

"Word of Power: Black Sun!"

It's not just wind, it's fire!

Plasma, storm, and fire—three raging forces of nature—were forcibly compressed and merged!

Above Beltz's head, a black sun, its diameter ever-expanding, slowly rotated and took shape!

It doesn't emit light; instead, it devours it. The surrounding space is distorted and blurred by the high temperature. The rocks below begin to spontaneously combust and melt, and the air crackles and groans as it is scorched!

"!!!"

Upon seeing that massive black sun, Kong instinctively felt a sense of fear!

He knew beforehand that he was no match for Beltz, but he was certain he wouldn't be defeated anytime soon, which would allow him to stall until the naval fleet arrived.

But now, his instincts are frantically warning him!

"You bastard!"

Kong Yishu arrived in front of Beltz and threw another punch!

He absolutely cannot let Beltz use this move!

But Beltz continued to condense wind pressure to create plasma, transforming the plasma into a larger black sun, while simultaneously blocking Kong's attack!

It's just multitasking!

This is not difficult for him!

Because as a psychologist, he split his personality into three parts in that instant, and each personality was doing the corresponding thing!

With the help of a psychologist, his calculation ability is also very strong. Although doing so still affected some of his actual combat ability, it did not decrease too much!

It's impossible for Kong to take advantage of his creation of the Black Sun to kill him!

Moreover, even before the black sun was fully formed, it was already radiating powerful energy, with high temperatures causing surrounding objects to spontaneously combust!

Sora, who was close by, only felt a burning sensation inside his body. He could only grit his teeth and continue to attack Beltz!

Boom boom boom!

boom!

The two exchanged punches, fighting fiercely. The earth shattered, trees on the island were knocked down, mountains collapsed, and rivers evaporated!

boom----

Meanwhile, in the outer seas, a large fleet of the navy had arrived, but just as they were about to enter the area, they sensed a change in the wind direction.

The winds in this area are all pulled by a huge gravitational source, which makes their ship much faster after they reach this area of ​​the sea!

"not good!"

Seeing the black sun behind Beltz growing increasingly terrifying, Kong shouted, "Everyone, run!"

He was the first to run!

Because he felt he could no longer stop Beltz!

"Do you think you can escape?!"

Beltz, holding up the massive black sun with both hands, roared, "Word of Power: Black Sun!"

boom!

When the wind was compressed to its limit and the plasma was diffused to its limit, the expansion of the black sun had also reached its limit!

Then----

That's when it starts to contract!

The black sun was like a black hole, instantly releasing a powerful attraction once again. This time, it was not the flow of wind that had been controlled by Beltz before!

Instead, everything was attracted and absorbed. The fallen trees, the scattered rocks, and everything within a three-kilometer radius were all attracted by this black sun!

But before it even got close, it had already turned into dust, as if it had been burned to ashes or crushed into powder!

Even Kong, who was trying to escape, felt that he couldn't move his body, and a powerful force was pulling him back!

And when this attraction reaches its peak, the collapse begins!

The black sun suddenly shrank into a single point, a black dot, and from that point emanated ultimate destruction!

boom!

All the previously contracted matter further amplified the destructive power of the plasma. With the support of the black flames, the black light of destruction spread out, and the entire island was engulfed by the black flames in an instant!

The black flames spread to the sea, burning on the surface. The fleet that had come from afar didn't even have a chance to escape and was instantly engulfed by the black flames!

And this is especially true for Fleet Admiral Kong!

He was closest and suffered the most damage! The moment the black sun erupted, its immense power slammed into him, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood!
