Chapter 144 Minos, the troublemaker
After a fierce battle amidst howling winds and swirling snow, the battlefield was left in ruins.
Minos stood on the shattered, icy battlefield, watching Whitebeard and his men flee in disarray, then glancing at Sakazuki and Aokiji retreating. A strange smile slowly crept onto his lips, a smile that seemed to conceal endless malice and scheming.
"Hmph, why not add some spice to this farce and make it more interesting?"
Minos thought to himself, then threw his head back and burst into a wild laugh, "Hahaha..." The laughter echoed across the empty battlefield, carrying a hint of madness and unruliness.
As soon as he finished speaking, Minos's aura suddenly erupted, and his powerful energy spread out like a surging tide.
Dark purple magic, like thick ink, surged wildly from his body, tightly enveloping him.
Under the shroud of this dark purple magic, a chilling pressure spread rapidly, as if it would crush everything around it.
Within the dark purple magic, a massive and terrifying figure slowly emerged.
As the magic gradually dissipated, Minos's body underwent an astonishing transformation.
His hands transformed first into powerful black dragon claws, each claw as sharp as a giant beast's blade.
Its curved shape resembles a deadly hook, radiating a chilling light that sends shivers down one's spine. It seems that with just a gentle swing, it could easily crush mountains and tear the earth apart, its unparalleled destructive power sending shivers down one's spine.
Immediately afterwards, his legs also gradually transformed into powerful black dragon legs.
The dragon's legs were bulging with muscles, each muscle line clearly defined, exuding explosive power and displaying an innate majesty.
Those solid dragon legs seemed capable of supporting the entire world, and every step they took brought earth-shaking power.
His body was also constantly changing, gradually transforming into a gigantic dragon.
The dragon's body was as thick as a giant pillar, covered with a thick layer of scales, each scale as sharp as a blade, shimmering with a metallic luster, and exuding a chilling aura.
These scales are like natural armor, not only able to withstand any attack, but also able to become his weapon in battle, easily crushing any obstacle that dares to stand in his way.
On either side of his body, enormous black dragon wings slowly unfolded.
The dragon's wings were like sharp blades, with extremely sharp edges. The wing membranes were covered with fine scales that shimmered with a cold light under the sunlight.
Each swing generates a strong wind pressure, as if it could create a hurricane and sweep everything around it into the destructive storm.
At the same time, a huge, powerful, barbed dragon tail grew from his buttocks.
The dragon's tail was as thick as a giant whip, with a sharp, spear-like tip covered in thick scales. Each swing carried the force of thunder, as if it could instantly shatter mountains and tear the earth apart, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake.
His head also transformed into a black, ferocious dragon's mouth.
The dragon's mouth gaped open, like the gaping maw of an abyss, its exposed fangs as sharp as daggers, gleaming with a chilling light, as if they could easily tear apart steel and crush any prey to pieces.
Those eyes, as red as boiling magma, pulsated with endless killing intent, like two burning flames. Wherever their gaze fell, even the earth seemed to tremble in fear, inspiring awe in all who beheld them.
The Black Dragon King Minos descended upon this shattered, icy battlefield with overwhelming power.
His dragon eyes swept across the surroundings, filled with arrogance and disdain. Suddenly, he let out a long roar that resounded through the sky like a great bell. With a powerful flap of his wings, which cut through the air like two sharp blades, his massive body leaped into the sky.
With a flap of his wings, a fierce wind arose, swirling up snow and dust. His figure gleamed coldly in the sunlight, like a black lightning bolt soaring straight into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, Black Dragon King Minos appeared in the sky. He activated his Observation Haki, which spread like an invisible net, taking in the every move of the fleeing Whitebeard Pirates below.
Minos grinned, revealing his ferocious fangs, and let out a deep roar: "Roar of the Black Dragon."
As the roar subsided, he opened his enormous dragon mouth, and a blinding white light began to gather from the depths of his throat.
The light grew stronger and stronger, like a sun about to explode, scorching and distorting the surrounding air.
Suddenly, he exhaled forcefully, and a blazing white beam of energy shot down from the sky like lightning towards the Whitebeard Pirates below.
The Whitebeard Pirates, who were desperately fleeing below, suddenly felt the temperature above them rise sharply, and a strong sense of crisis surged into their hearts.
They quickly looked up at the sky and saw a blinding and scorching white beam of energy hurtling toward them with overwhelming force.
Just then, an image flashed through Whitebeard's mind. In the image, in just a few breaths, this powerful white beam of energy would strike them.
Apart from him and Marco, all the other captains will die in this horrific attack.
He and Marco will also be impacted by this powerful force, swept into the turbulent sea, their fate unknown.
Snapping out of his daze from the scene, Whitebeard, holding the Murakumogiri, looked at Marco and the others with a serious expression and shouted, "Marco, you and the other captains get the ship fixed so it can sail normally!"
Upon hearing Whitebeard's words, Marco and the others exclaimed in alarm, "Father, let's go together!" "Yes, Father, let's go together!" Their voices were filled with worry and reluctance.
Whitebeard, seeing the white energy beam rapidly approaching from above, was frantic with worry. He roared again, "Marco, obey the captain's orders! Retreat with the rest of the crew immediately! Otherwise, none of us will be able to escape!"
After saying that, without waiting for Marco and the others to speak again, he resolutely turned around and faced the white energy beam descending from the sky like the Grim Reaper alone.
Marco and the others looked worried and helpless, but they knew they had to obey Whitebeard's orders. So they hurriedly headed towards the Moby Dick.
Whitebeard glanced back at Marco and the others, his eyes filled with love and determination.
Then, he fixed his gaze on the approaching white energy beam in the sky, his expression both grave and surprised.
"I never expected that such an accident would happen at this time. What a troublesome time!" he thought to himself.
Immediately afterwards, Whitebeard unleashed a powerful aura, causing the surrounding air to vibrate and buzz.
The Haki of Ryuo instantly enveloped the Murakumo-giri. The already incredibly sharp Murakumo-giri became even more razor-sharp with the enhancement of the Haki of Ryuo, as if it could cut through any obstacle in the world.
Whitebeard took a deep breath and roared with all his might, "Shock Slash!"
In an instant, Murakumo Kirito charged toward the white energy beam with unstoppable momentum.
The two collided instantly, producing a series of deafening "bangs" that seemed to tear the world apart.
