The natural system started off strong, but the navy finally reached its peak!

"Ha, take it if you dare!"

As Shanks finished speaking, he suddenly exerted force on his wrist, and Griffin pressed forward, actually deflecting Gern's slash by half an inch!

At the same time, he swept his left leg out to the side, kicking straight at Guern's right ribs!

Guern reacted quickly.

Instead of sheathing his sword, he used the force of Shanks's upward thrust to lean back, almost parallel to the sea surface, allowing the kick to glide past his chest.

At the same time, his free left hand gathered high-energy vibrational particles at his fingertips and aimed at Shanks.

"Sorry, I am disabled, so please don't be envious!"

"Heavenly Tremor, Roaring Light, Five Flowers Blooming!"

Five straight, pale white particle rays shot directly into the light!

Shanks' pupils contracted, and Griffin instantly retreated, his hilt narrowly deflecting three attacks.

"Ding!" Three crisp sounds rang out, and the aftershocks made his wrists slightly numb.

Meanwhile, Gern used the recoil to slam his feet hard against the water wall behind him!

"boom!!!"

The water wall shattered, and amidst the spray, Gern's figure shot out like a cannonball, instantly escaping the core suppression zone of the hurricane passage.

But as soon as he got away, the light above him suddenly went out.

Dragon had already leaped high into the air, his dark green coat fluttering in the wind, his hands clasped together, palms facing each other.

A highly compressed, violently rotating bluish-gray vortex has condensed into shape.

Looking down, his eyes were cold.

"Tornado".

Press down with both palms.

The hurricane didn't crash down directly; instead, it expanded and stretched the instant it left my hand, transforming into a hurricane with a diameter exceeding ten meters.

A colossal tornado column, stretching from the sky to the sea, crashed down upon Gern with destructive force!

Even before the wind column arrived, the terrifying suction had already torn a huge whirlpool out of the sea below.

Gern's hair and clothes flew wildly upwards, and his body began to be pulled upwards uncontrollably!

"You want to drag me back to the sky to beat me up?" Gern grinned, his smile sinister. "Then... so be it!"

Gern chose not to dodge or evade, but instead stomped his feet in mid-air, creating a visible, pale shockwave that exploded beneath his feet.

While providing a powerful counter-propulsion force, it also temporarily disperses the suction force below.

His body spun and soared into the sky, not to escape, but to face the destructive tornado head-on!

With his right hand raised high above his head, the vibrating particles on the blade converged and compressed at an unprecedented density, even emitting high frequencies.

A piercing, tooth-grinding buzzing sound.

Large, spiderweb-like cracks began to appear in the air around the blade, and the space trembled.

"Earthquake..."

Gern's voice sounded like a dragon's roar in the howling wind.

"Break the Sky!"

The blade slashed down.

There was no fancy trajectory, only a straight, solid line, pale white with dark purple lightning flashes.

The "line" collided head-on with the falling tornado column.

For a fleeting moment, time stood still.

Immediately afterwards—

"Buzz!!!!"

The tornado column was sliced ​​straight through from the center, splitting into two halves that dissipated to both sides.

The pale white slash, its momentum undiminished, continued upwards.

The sun ripped a huge rift hundreds of meters long through the low-hanging clouds, and sunlight poured down from the crack, illuminating the unrecognizable sea below.

The aftershocks of the slash transformed into countless pale white wind blades that shot in all directions, carving countless deep trenches into the sea surface.

Shanks swung Griffin, shattering several wind blades aimed at the Red Fox in mid-air, his brow furrowed.

The destructive power of Gern's strike was more terrifying than expected.

As Dragon cleaved through the tornado with his strike, he dispersed, transforming into a gust of wind and reappearing a hundred meters away on the other side of the sky.

His face was slightly pale, clearly indicating that the "tornado" attack had taken a toll on him.

Gern hovered in mid-air, breathing slightly. The cuff of his right arm, which was holding a knife, burst open, revealing well-defined, slightly trembling forearm muscles.

Taking on a tornado head-on is just as bad for you.

But the light in his eyes grew even more intense, his gaze sharp as he swept over the two people sandwiched between him on either side.

Shanks' "Sight and Sound Kill" has not been used yet.

The winds of Dorlag are far more powerful than that.

well.

He slowly adjusted his breathing, and vibrational particles seeped out from his pores once again. The tip of the Eight Desolations Blade drooped down, pointing towards the churning sea below.

"Shh!"

Sure enough, without giving him a chance to catch his breath, Shanks' figure disappeared into the air without warning!

It wasn't teleportation, but rather an extremely fast "shave" step, combined with a perfect control of one's aura.

In Gern's Observation Haki, Shanks' presence became blurred as if erased by an eraser!

The next instant, the crimson blade pierced out from the blind spot in Gern's left vision, aimed straight at his heart!

Dark red arcs of Conqueror's Haki crackled along the blade.

"Gods, dodge!!"

At the same time, Dorag on the right suddenly clenched his fists together and brought them together in the middle!

"Wind Prison - Strangulation!"

The air within a hundred meters of Gern instantly solidified and compressed, transforming into countless visible cyan wind strands.

Coming from all directions, it not only restricts the space for dodging, but also carries sharp wind blades that can cut through everything!

This is perfect crowd control to complement Shanks's finishing move!

A pincer attack from both sides, a decisive defeat!

At that moment, Gern closed his eyes.

It's not about giving up.

Instead, within the realm of "seeing and hearing killing" that shields precognition, he chooses to believe in something more primal.

The instinct to fight, and the perception of "vibration".

The blade was three inches away from my body.

Just before the zipline touched the hem of her clothes.

Gern moved.

Her body tilted slightly to the left, just a hair's breadth away, allowing Griffin's knife tip to graz her chest, sending up a trail of tiny sparks.

At the same time, he kicked Shanks' right side directly at the opening in his right ribs that Shanks had created by missing his slash!

Shanks' pupils contracted; there was no time to sheathe his sword, so he had no choice but to take the hit.

"Bang!" A muffled sound.

Shanks' body shuddered violently, and he was kicked so hard that he slid dozens of meters to the side and back, his breath catching in his throat slightly.

Using the recoil from that kick, Gern spun to the right, unleashing a circular slash from his Eight Desolations.

Cut off all the wind cables that were entangled in it!

The blade continued its relentless advance, slashing straight at Dragon, who was already close in front of him!

Dorrag crossed his hands, and the wind instantly compressed into a blue round shield in his palms.

In an instant!

The sword and shield clashed, the round shield shattered, and Dorrag was thrown backward by the shock, his arms going numb.

But the reaction force also momentarily slowed his movements, yet he didn't stop for a second. He plunged the Eight Directions into the seabed, his hands slamming out in a wide, sweeping motion to the sides.

The azure tremor spread, and a chill appeared out of nowhere.

The surrounding area, spanning hundreds of miles, and the seawater flowing back on both sides, froze instantly!

When Shanks and Dragon first witnessed Gern's Absolute Zero ability, they were completely dumbfounded.

“The nearby islands aren’t easy to find, to avoid us being passed around, so…” Gern drew his Eight Desolations sword and raised his hand.

"Let's fight right here!"

Chapter 606 One Against Two (Part Two)

"I never imagined he would develop his Devil Fruit powers to this extent."

Dorrag looked down at the ice stretching to the horizon and muttered to himself.

“Surprised?” Gern’s voice came from ahead.

His body sank slightly, and the ice beneath his feet cracked with a "crack".

It instantly exploded with cracks, and pale white vibrating particles and subtle, domineering electric sparks danced around it.

"That's to be expected, because there's an even bigger surprise to come!"

Before he could finish speaking...

"Buzz!"

Shockwave Activated!

Gern's body suddenly blurred, not through the natural dissipation of elemental transformation, but through an instantaneous "shaking off".

It decomposes into countless pale particles that vibrate at a high frequency at the molecular level!

It disappeared without a sound, but then headed straight for the center between Shanks and Dragon!

Everything about Gern disappeared in the two people's Observation Haki.

Seeing this familiar scene, Shanks' pupils suddenly contracted, and Griffin tilted his head slightly.

It was this ghostly advance that tore through his defenses back then!

So, he had a very strong memory of this move!

Then Shanks shouted sharply, "Watch out..."

But the warning came a step too late.

No, it's not slow.

However, the speed and trajectory of Gern's flash this time were completely different from what he remembered!

More cunning, more...unpredictable!

Just as the pale particle stream was about to touch the powerful sensory network jointly set up by the two, it inexplicably refracted at a right angle!

Instead of going around it, it veered sharply to the side and rear of Doraga!

Upon hearing Shanks' voice, Dragon instinctively activated his ability, causing the air around him to swirl and form a dense, bluish-gray wind barrier.

However, the stream of particles refracted again just before it hit the wind wall!

This time, the target is Shanks head-on!
