Pirate's Swordsman

This roar was extremely loud, like thunder, almost resounding throughout the entire ice.

Of course, most of this so-called ice has turned into a sea of ​​molten fire, and the remaining half is gradually melting under the influence of high temperatures on the edge.

Xia Nuo looked up and squinted his eyes subconsciously, because his vision was filled with dazzling golden light, and in the midst of this golden light, a huge golden Buddha opened his eyes in anger and suddenly raised his right hand. palm.

Animal-type human fruit phantom beast species, in the form of a giant Buddha!

The person who turned into a giant Buddha was none other than Marine Marshal Sengoku. He witnessed Akainu being crushed all the way, and when his life was about to be endangered, he could no longer bear it. He handed over the overall command of the battlefield to the flying squirrel and stepped in personally from the warship. In the battlefield!

hum!

The golden giant palm was extremely huge, and the texture on the palm could still be clearly seen hundreds of meters apart, but its speed did not match its size at all. In the blink of an eye, it spanned a distance of a thousand meters, as if it was about to smash everything into pulp, and moved towards Xia Nuo was shot down with a bang!

This palm has not fallen yet.

The heart-stopping shock wave had already swept through the entire inside of the square, and the lava was rolling violently. Even the marble floor in the square in the distance cracked and turned into countless fine stones.

"Oh?"

Facing this sudden giant palm, Xia Nuo's eyes suddenly lit up. He had no intention of temporarily retreating. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and used the sword that he had already accumulated to chase Akainu, suddenly changed direction, and started from bottom to top. , slashing backwards towards the palm of the Golden Buddha!

"Iihe, Yanhui!"

boom!

The dazzling sword energy burst out in an instant, and for a moment it overshadowed the Buddha's light on the golden Buddha, causing everyone around to watch the battle to temporarily close their eyes.

And when they opened their eyes to look again, the golden giant palm had been repulsed. However, Xia Nuo's figure was also forced back several steps by the aftershocks. He stepped on the edge of the stone steps of the square and stabilized his body. shape.

"call……"

Xia Nuo exerted force on his heels. He regained his balance and looked up at the angry golden Buddha not far away. He blocked Akainu in front of him. He whispered to himself, "Amazing power. No wonder in the battle above, one blow It can blow away the entire Blackbeard Pirates..."

Everyone in the world regards the three generals as the highest combat power of the Navy Headquarters. However, as a naval marshal, Sengoku is rarely associated with strength in the eyes of the outside world. He is more of a man who is good at making plans at high places. Overall, the image of a wise general who is as immovable as a mountain.

But at this moment, just from the first encounter, Xia Nuo judged that the seemingly old Warring States was still unquestionably powerful and that he stood at the top of the entire navy!

Neither Aoki nor Akainu are as powerful as this navy marshal!

That's what makes sense.

Xia Nuo exhaled with a smile and looked at the big Buddha that looked like a glaring King Kong. Naturally, he would not feel troubled by this. Instead, his eyes were bright and shining, and the fighting passion that had not been ignited for a long time showed signs of burning in his heart again.

This feeling.

The last time, it seems, was two years ago, when I competed with Hawkeye on the Wind Island to decide who was the world's greatest swordsman...

"marshal……"

Akainu, who was pressed to the ground and finally got up, looked at the back of the golden giant Buddha protecting him with a complicated expression, and for a moment he didn't know how to explain it.

"There's no need to speak. We'll wait until the war is over."

Sengoku seemed to understand his thoughts and coldly interrupted Akainu's words. Then he looked at Xia Nuo who was flying up from the ground again in the distance and said in a low voice:

"You know your physical condition well. Don't hold on here. Just leave this to me. The overall situation behind it is difficult for Flying Squirrel to maintain alone. You have to keep an eye on it."

"..."

Akainu was silent. He wanted to say that he still had the strength to fight, but he didn't want to just go back in despair, but in the end when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them, just nodded, and turned around to leave.

however.

At this moment, a mocking sneer suddenly came from the sky.

"Just leave, do I allow it?"

hum!

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of breaking wind could be heard in the air.

It was clearly the sword energy that was approaching rapidly. Zeng Guo's expression changed. He stretched out his right hand without hesitation, turned his palm into a fist, and suddenly blasted towards the flying sword energy, trying to stop it in front of him.

pity.

Although his reaction was fast enough, the power of the fist wind was still a bit lacking. The edge of the sword energy passed over Sengoku's side and suddenly struck his shoulder under Akainu's horrified gaze.

puff.

There was no time to elementalize, no time to dodge, Akainu, who was already seriously injured, watched helplessly at this moment as his right arm suddenly fell off from the base of his shoulder blade, and the whole thing fell into the hot magma, instantly turning into fly ash and being annihilated. go.

this moment.

The surrounding air seemed to fall into silence.

"..."

Akainu looked at his empty sleeves with an expression full of disbelief, and when Sengoku turned around and witnessed this scene, he couldn't help being slightly stunned, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

"Hahahahahaha!"

A burst of laughter suddenly came from not far away from the east. Several people followed the sound at the same time and found that Ace, who had just defeated Huoshaoshan, appeared dozens of meters away.

He squatted on a broken marble fragment and looked at Akainu, who had become one-armed and disabled. He was a little surprised at first, and then he couldn't help it anymore. He leaned back and forth with laughter while holding on to his cowboy hat:

"Hey, hey, you're lying. There really are idiots in this world whose body parts are burned away by their own abilities. Hahahaha. In the future, will there be one more admiral who is missing an arm? Crippled?"

Ace covered his stomach with laughter and couldn't stop for a while. His laughter echoed in half of the battlefield, which seemed out of place in this bloody war.

Many navy soldiers who were still in the melee and didn't know what was going on turned their heads and looked over in confusion. After noticing Akainu who had lost an arm, they all showed a look of astonishment.

"You bastard kid..."

Akainu finally came to his senses at this time. He glanced at Xia Nuo who sheathed his sword in the distance with a sullen face. He was filled with resentment and wanted to tear the opponent into pieces.

But with the last bit of sanity remaining, he finally suppressed his impulse to rush forward desperately, and turned his gaze to Ace, who was gloating about his misfortune.

"Uh……"

After meeting Akainu's cold and malicious eyes, Ace's laughter suddenly stopped. He calmly took half a step back, coughed lightly, waved his hands, and said seriously:

"What's that? I'm just passing by. You continue, I have to take a step ahead."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ace turned around and ran away, nimbly moving through the chaotic battlefield like a loach, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

But Akainu had already turned his hatred towards him, so how could he let him go so easily? He immediately roared, heeled a little, his whole body turned into an afterimage, and followed closely.
