Chapter 414: Divine Avoidance
boom!
boom!
There's no point in talking when you can't see eye to eye. After only a few words, Mu Chong and Shanks lost the possibility of continuing their conversation. They brandished their swords and vanished from their spots once more.
Clang! Clang! Clang...
Rumble!
The rapier Griffin was wreathed in crimson Conqueror's Haki, each swing accompanied by a raging torrent of red lightning. The Conqueror's Haki emanating from Shanks was steadily weakening Mu Chong's Conqueror's Haki.
laugh!
Black and red lightning crackled around the long sword, White Dragon. Mu Chong wielded the sword with both hands, each strike landing heavily on Griffin. His Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki were perfectly fused together, allowing him to always find openings in Shanks' attacks.
As the two overwhelmingly powerful forces clashed, scorching smoke billowed forth, and everything around them began to solidify under the immense force.
The Red-Haired Pirates, now far from the island, stood collectively on the deck, watching the dust-filled battlefield. The initial composure had vanished from each of their faces.
While the expressions on the faces of the Red-Haired Pirates' officers and others remained unreadable, the atmosphere around them was equally tense. They genuinely hadn't expected that Mu Chong would be fighting their captain so evenly.
Meanwhile, Caroline and her two companions had already noticed Mu Chong's departure. After exchanging glances, the three of them tacitly stepped onto a boulder controlled by Caroline and then quickly headed towards the battlefield.
Above an unnamed sea in the New World, a pale blue bolt of lightning moved at incredible speed. Each flash altered the clouds and the unseen magnetic field around it.
Under the blazing sun, the temperature on the sea began to rise steadily over time.
when!
boom!
The battlefield, which had been raging for half a day, had completely lost its original appearance. The entire island where Sleeping Town was located had been utterly destroyed by the aftershocks of the battle between Mu Chong and Shanks.
Rumble!
With a loud explosion, the two figures quickly retreated from the center of the blast, landing about twenty meters apart.
Swish!
The longsword Bai Jiao and the rapier Griffin flashed through the air, stirring up the surrounding smoke, and streaks of red lightning that had filled the air disappeared.
call!
Mu Chong took a deep breath, calming his agitated breathing. Such an intense battle was quickly draining his stamina, especially when facing a top expert from this vast ocean.
"Pah! To have joined the ranks of the Four Emperors at such a young age, Shanks' title is truly well-deserved. Your Conqueror's Haki is truly extraordinary!"
Mu Chong spat out the blood in his mouth, raised his left hand to press against a knife wound on his chest, his eyes coldly fixed on Shanks, a slight smirk playing on his lips, his tone utterly disrespectful.
"Hoo! Hero Mu Chong! After this battle, I am truly impressed by your strength. To have such power in such a short time at sea, you have the right to speak on this vast ocean!"
Shanks, too, adjusted his breathing, completely disregarding his injuries. His eyes were fixed on Mu Chong, filled with astonishment.
"However, this ocean needs a relatively balanced state now, and I will not allow anyone to disrupt it until the time is right!"
hum!
Shanks abruptly changed the subject, and a fierce aura once again erupted from his body, making it clear that he was ready to fight at the slightest provocation.
"Heh heh heh! The sea is free, what right do you, Shanks, have to dictate its course?"
"A balanced situation? Waiting for the right opportunity? Do you think you can just use these unfounded reasons to attack my people at will?"
"Shanks, if my people weren't so easily manipulated, would you have just killed them? If you didn't think I was so easy to kill, would you even have the mind to talk to me?"
"Heh heh heh! Why play house on a dog-eat-dog world? Or is it that the opportunity you're waiting for, Shanks, will bring you something beyond anything?"
Swish!
Mu Chong held the long sword Bai Jiao horizontally in front of him in his right hand, the blade pointing directly at Shanks.
As Mu Chong's voice rang out, Shanks' expression gradually turned ferocious, his eyes flashing with a sharpness like a series of broken blades, as if he wanted to tear Mu Chong to pieces.
"Hahahaha! Interesting! Hero! Since you know this is a world where the strong prey on the weak, then you should obediently abide by the rules of this world, otherwise you'll be the first one eliminated!"
boom!
Shanks unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, and crimson lightning shot into the sky. As he spoke, the clouds above Shanks' head were once again blasted apart.
"Tch! You don't represent this world, Shanks! The rules of this world are not a reason for you to harm my crew!"
boom!
As soon as Mu Chong finished speaking, he suddenly exerted force with his legs, and his body shot out like a cannonball, hurtling towards Shanks.
boom!
At the same time, bursts of black and red lightning erupted around Mu Chong's body, interspersed with white energy ripples, making Mu Chong move at an extremely fast speed.
At that moment, the Paramecia-type Power-Power Fruit power within Mu Chong erupted, and a white ripple instantly covered the entire battlefield as Mu Chong moved.
hum!
Suddenly, an extraordinary gravitational force descended, instantly causing the height of everything on the battlefield to drop by half a meter.
"What?!"
At this moment, Shanks, located in the center of the battlefield, felt the terror of this gravity firsthand.
"Hmph! Devil Fruit! Your Devil Fruit ability has always been a mystery on the high seas, not even the Navy and the World Government truly know it. Today, I'll see for myself what your ability really is."
boom!
Feeling the gravity on his body, Shanks was initially shocked, then his body trembled, and an extremely powerful aura erupted from him.
boom!
This aura was different from Conqueror's Haki, yet it directly affected Mu Chong's Devil Fruit ability. The moment this aura appeared, the gravity that had been covering Shanks suddenly loosened, reducing the restriction on his movements.
Swish!
when!
The next second, Shanks swung his rapier Griffin, solidly blocking the wooden strike.
"Hiss? This power?"
The moment Shanks' Griffin touched the White Dragon Wood Dragon, Shanks' pupils contracted, because he noticed that the White Dragon Wood Dragon's power was increasing almost exponentially.
when!
Ignoring the surprise in Shanks' eyes, Mu Chong unleashed his frenzied attack once more, this time enveloped in a thick layer of white energy.
Finally, after their sword duel, Mu Chong began to use his Devil Fruit powers, gradually revealing his fangs.
"Gravity Blade - Flood Dragon!"
Roar!
With the swing of the longsword White Dragon, a gigantic dragon formed from white energy waves lunged at Shanks with its blood-red maw wide open.
"Humph!"
Facing the onrushing giant dragon, Shanks snorted coldly, gathering Griffin power in his hand, and red lightning crackled forth.
"Gods, beware!"
boom!
The next second, Shanks swung Griffin, and a terrifying power erupted, sending a gigantic griffin charging head-on at the white dragon in front of it.
