I, Hikaru Uchiha, join the chat group

"This is……"

Among everyone present, besides Uchiha Hikaru, the first person to notice the change in Esdeath's aura was the red-haired person.

He originally thought that the outcome of the battle would be decided once the "Divine Evasion" was used, and he was even preparing to put away his sword, but in an instant he felt something was wrong. Then his whole mind was shocked, and he suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at the opposite side a hundred meters away.

—— Overlord color? !

In fact, Conqueror Haki itself is not that rare. After all, in the New World, there are dozens of people who possess this kind of domineering power, if not hundreds or thousands. And they are basically all great pirates who can shock the World Government. In the Rocks and Roger crews back then, every main crew member had Conqueror Haki.

but……

How could a person with the potential of Conqueror's Haki only awaken when he is as strong as the Four Emperors? Shouldn't this usually happen in childhood?

and……

The strength of this domineering color... isn't it a bit too high?

Under the red-haired man's observation Haki, he only "saw" a column of ice-blue air that was invisible to the naked eye, rising into the air right in front of his sight, tearing through the nearly a thousand-meter-high clouds in an instant, and soaring up to even higher places!

While the altitude is rising rapidly.

This column of air was also spreading in all directions, with a posture no less powerful than the "Divine Evasion" just now, rushing indiscriminately in all directions, crushing everything along the way! !

Even Red Hair himself admits that he is inferior to this level of domineering color!

The mind is floating.

He drew his sword again and slashed towards the oncoming shock wave!

This scene is a replica of the battle between Red Hair and White Beard in the original work.

Can……

Whether it is Red Hair or Esdeath, the momentum they burst out at this moment is even more shocking than the red and white attack in the original timeline!

In just a moment, the cracked clouds thousands of meters in the sky were crushed, and then a huge storm was set off, spreading with the force 12 gale to a radius of several kilometers or even further!

……

"Shock Fruit!"

Whitebeard, who was standing on the dock, suddenly punched out, mobilizing the power of the devil fruit in his body to form an invisible space barrier, supporting the coastline.

Uchiha Hikaru had an idea and opened the blood jade barrier, covering Bulma and the others on his side and isolating them from the outside world.

This action attracted Whitebeard and others to look over here.

There is no concept of "magical weapon" in the world of pirates.

The shape of the "blood jade coral" did not look like a devil fruit or a technological product. Even someone as knowledgeable as Whitebeard could only associate it with the "Sky Island Shell" he had seen before, thinking it was some kind of magical species salvaged from the deep sea. Due to the situation, it was not easy to ask more questions.

the other side.

There were some passers-by who were curious and wanted to stay here to watch the battle, but now they turned around and ran away.

It's nice to see the battles between the royal groups, but it would be unworthy if the price you pay is your life.

Several minutes passed.

The typhoon on the sea gradually subsided and dissipated.

Although the ice and water surface were still fluctuating, the figures of Esdeath and Red Hair had reappeared.

At this moment.

The red-haired man held the "Griffin" in one hand, tilted the blade in front of him, and breathed slightly.

After the impact just now, his long black cloak had been blown up by the strong wind, and the white shirt underneath also showed signs of being torn.

Esdeath on the other side was wrapped in a translucent ice-blue human-shaped aura. Her military uniform also had several tears, and the white silk vest she was wearing underneath could be seen.

——The so-called "silk vest" is actually a close-fitting protective gear that Uchiha Hikaru had woven using the hair of the East China Sea Cloud Dragon that he had collected. Due to the complexity of the processing, only a few sets were made, and one of them was worn by Esdeath.

Because of this layer of protection, Esdeath's torso was not injured, but there were a few long bloodstains on her cheeks and arms, from which blood beads were oozing out.

"spit!"

Esdeath licked the blood that fell from the corner of her mouth with the tip of her tongue, spat it out, and then raised her head, letting her long hair dance in the wind. As the corners of her lips moved, her ice-blue eyes revealed an indescribable sharpness.

"Can you fight again?"

"..."

Faced with the shout, the red-haired man did not respond, but just slightly tightened the hilt of the sword.

next moment.

The two men leaped forward at the same time, collided head-on with each other at a faster speed than before, and then fought directly into a ball!

The storm is coming again!!

This time, a huge eye of the typhoon suddenly formed here, and as Esdeath and Red Hair fought, it spread to all directions, like a sign of a natural disaster coming!!

……

This battle lasted for quite a while.

It can be seen that Esdeath is having a lot of fun.

Although the "Dimension Pirates" had encountered two of the Four Emperors in succession after arriving on this sea, and both of them had fought with her. However, one of these two times was the remnant left after Uchiha Hikaru finished the first half, and the other was a sparring game when the old and sick could not fight for a long time. Until today, Esdeath finally experienced a hearty battle.

——It wasn’t as comfortable as the fight with Uchiha Hikaru, but it was also a high-quality duel.

With the last face-to-face confrontation.

The sword in Esdeath's hand broke into two pieces with a "snap", and half of the blade flew far away.

The red-haired "Griffin" flew away, leaving only his left hand with a broken knuckle and blood all over it.

"ended."

"You're not bad."

Esdeath nodded slightly, left a comment to Red Hair, then made a gesture of putting her arm around her sword and turned back in the direction of the "Dimension Pirates".

To be precise, he returned to the location where Uchiha Hikaru was.

At this point, her sharp edge had gradually subsided, and the expression on her face was much softer than before the battle:

"How about it?"

"good."

Uchiha Hikaru nodded, thinking that the military princess was asking for praise, so she gave her approval.

“…That’s what I’m talking about.”

Esdeath pursed her lips, then raised her chin towards herself in a gesture.

At this time, she had not yet removed the "dominant color", and the ice-blue aura was still rising from her body, like a flame in cold water, quietly dancing around her body, giving people a strange feeling of being both cold and full of vitality.

"This kind of aura is very similar to your 'flame form', right?"

"what?"
