Chapter 286: The Face Fruit? The Strongest Conqueror's Haki Clears the Field.
Shanks then jumped off the bow of the ship.
"Thump."
Black leather boots trod on the cracked rocks.
The entire island's crust emitted a low, tooth-grinding groan.
Then came the sound of dominoes falling.
puff.
puff.
The navy personnel who had miraculously survived the battlefield were still panting heavily.
They didn't even get a clear look at the man's face.
He rolled his eyes.
Foaming at the mouth.
Consciousness disconnected.
Clearance.
Pure, overwhelming dominance.
Within a radius of several thousand meters, apart from those few naval admirals and a very small number of elite vice admirals with wills as firm as steel, no one else stood.
"What a terrifying aura!"
Borsalino stood on the broken mast, the playful look in his eyes behind his sunglasses gone.
"The Four Emperors, Red-Haired Shanks."
Fujitora adjusted the angle of his cane-sword; in his Observation Haki, a blazing red sun was scorching everything around him.
It was a suffocating sense of oppression.
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Several whooshing sounds followed closely behind.
Ben Beckman, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, a gun in one hand, landed on a high point of the ruins to Shanks' left. The muzzle of the gun seemed to hang casually, but it was locked onto the Demon King in the air.
Yasopp crouched behind a boulder, his sniper rifle raised, the reflection in the scope flashing by.
With a piece of meat still attached to the bone, Raki Lu's massive body nimbly occupied the blind spot on the right.
The entire Red-Haired Pirates crew makes an appearance.
They quickly took control of the battlefield, keeping the admirals out.
Shanks didn't look at anyone.
In his eyes, there was only the girl floating in the air.
"call……"
Shanks exhaled a breath of stale air and strode forward.
step.
Two steps.
With each step he took, his domineering aura surged forward like a tide.
Click!Click!
The solid black musical notes in the air shattered into black powder the moment they touched his domineering aura, like glass being struck by a heavy hammer.
Nothing could stop him.
"Uta!"
Shanks' voice wasn't loud, but it pierced through the noisy, magical sounds and was clearly transmitted into the high sky.
"This farce should end!"
He looked up, and his eyes, which always carried a drunken smile, were now as sharp as a drawn sword.
"Look at me!"
This roar was the ultimate display of domineering power, directly striking Uta's mind.
high in the air.
Uta, who was preparing to attack, suddenly froze.
In her eyes, which were filled with purple vortexes, a frenzied light flashed intensely.
A switch deep within my memory was flipped.
The red-haired figure from behind.
The man who put the straw hat on her head.
"Shanks?"
Uta's voice was dry and hoarse, filled with confusion and struggle.
The purple halo in his eyes faded for a moment, revealing a sliver of clarity.
She looked at the familiar man on the ground, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"I...I don't want to..."
however.
She hadn't finished speaking.
"roar!!!"
A furious roar, sharp and piercing, exploded from the void behind her.
That was the roar of the Demon King "Tot Musica".
It sensed a threat.
It sensed the host's wavering.
Absolutely not!
puff!
Several thick black tentacles shot out from the void, piercing deeply into the back of Uta's head and spine.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Uta let out a scream, the clarity in her eyes instantly swallowed by an even denser darkness.
Her features contorted, her mouth stretched taut to her ears, and she uttered sounds that were not human.
"Kill him!!!"
"Kill him! Kill the man who abandoned you! Kill the liar who ruined your life!"
The Demon King roared through Uta's mouth, his voice overlapping with the sound of metal scraping, making it piercing.
It completely took control.
boom!
The puppet Barrett, which had been motionless amidst the pile of corpses, suddenly moved.
This "strongest body," now turned into a marionette, is unleashing a speed that surpasses its former speed.
Driven by demonic energy, he hurtled towards Shanks like a black cannonball, accompanied by a destructive shockwave.
Shanks did not move.
He didn't even raise his hand.
Because someone is faster than him.
"Bang!"
A crisp gunshot rang out.
It wasn't deafening, but it exploded in everyone's eardrums.
A thin tongue of fire shot out from the spear in Ben Beckman's hand.
A bullet, imbued with jet-black Armament Haki, carved a straight vacuum path through the air.
fast.
too fast.
Even the photon-transformed Kizaru raised an eyebrow.
puff!
The bullet struck Barrett precisely between the eyebrows as he charged at high speed.
A tremendous amount of kinetic energy was released instantly.
The puppet that was charging like a tank suddenly jerked its head back, its forward momentum abruptly halted.
Immediately afterwards, he was struck as if by a battering ram, flying backward and crashing heavily into the ruins a hundred meters away, kicking up clouds of dust.
"Don't get in my way, big guy."
Beckman spat out the cigarette butt from his mouth and said coldly, the gun still pointing steadily forward.
In front.
Shanks is still walking.
His hand finally rested on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"Griffin".
A famous sword is drawn.
hum!
A golden-red sword aura swept out as he drew his sword.
This sword energy was not large, but it was condensed to the extreme.
The countless musical note spears and black demonic tentacles that swept in were all silently annihilated into powder the moment they came into contact with the sword energy.
The sword energy continued its relentless advance, heading straight for Uta in the air.
But just a second before it touched Uta's body.
The sword energy suddenly dissipated.
It transformed into a gust of wind, ruffling Uta's long hair, yet not even tearing a corner of her clothing.
Shanks deliberately avoided it.
That was his daughter.
Even if possessed by the Demon King, even if turned into a monster.
He was also unable to swing his knife at her.
"What foolish kindness..."
The demon king's sinister voice echoed in the air.
It noticed.
This man, so powerful that he terrified it, had a fatal weakness.
"Since you can't bring yourself to do it, then die!"
The Demon King grinned maliciously, controlling Uta's small body to stand directly in front of him.
at the same time.
A gigantic, jet-black claw, made of materialized musical notes, silently emerged from the void on the side.
He launched a fatal blow by taking advantage of Shanks' concerns about Uta.
Shanks' pupils contracted slightly.
He could easily have dodged it.
However, even if Beckman and the others behind him manage to block him, the overflowing energy fluctuations will definitely affect Uta, who is acting as a "shield".
You can't hide.
We can't cut it down either.
Shanks forcibly sheathed his sword.
He held Griffin across his chest and took the blow with his only remaining right arm.
boom!!!
A tremendous roar resounded through the sky.
Black demonic energy erupted wildly.
Shanks slid backward dozens of meters like a baseball that had been hit.
His feet sank deep into the ground, carving two bottomless furrows into the hard rock.
sizzle...
Black demonic energy corroded his arm, emitting wisps of white smoke.
"Boss!"
Raki Lu exclaimed and tried to rush forward.
"Don't come any closer!"
Shanks let out a low shout and suddenly shook his arm, unleashing his Conqueror's Haki to disperse the attached demonic energy.
He straightened up and casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Despicable monster..."
Shanks stared intently at the dark figure hiding behind Uta.
"Hahaha! Despicable?"
Seeing this, the Demon King became even more arrogant.
As long as this body remains, this man is a tiger with its teeth pulled.
"Since you won't kill her, then let her kill you!"
Rumble!
The sky turned completely dark.
Countless black musical staves intertwined in the air, forming a giant cage.
The Demon King's body has been completely materialized.
It is no longer a phantom.
Instead, it is a keyboard demon that blots out the sky.
Its body is made of black and white piano keys, its limbs are huge speakers, and its head is a distorted musical score.
It became even larger than the previous Barrett mech.
The sense of oppression was even greater than that of ancient weapons.
"Tot Musica: The Final Movement!"
The Demon King roared.
A gigantic hand, large enough to cover half the island, descended from the sky with an aura of annihilation.
This palm strike is indiscriminate, regardless of friend or foe.
It intends to turn the Red-Haired Gang, along with the admirals over there, into mincemeat.
Wind pressure arrives first.
The ground began to collapse.
"Hey, hey... this is no joke."
Kizaru looked up at the enormous hand that blotted out the sky, and his expression finally changed.
Even natural elementalists would find it difficult to completely avoid attacks of this range.
"Gravity Blade - Fierce Tiger!"
Fujitora gritted his teeth and swung his sword, unleashing a purple gravity wave in an attempt to block the giant hand.
But this hand is too big.
When a gravitational wave hits it, it's like a pebble thrown into the ocean; it only creates a ripple and cannot stop the wave from falling.
A shadow fell over everyone.
The scent of death is drawing near.
Shanks gripped Griffin tightly, his domineering aura reaching its peak.
Just as he was preparing to disregard everything and forcefully sever the giant hand.
Sudden.
A blinding light shone overhead.
The already gloomy sky was instantly torn apart.
"How ugly, for a Yonko."
A detached and languid voice, tinged with sarcasm, pierced through the atmosphere and came from the heavens.
Everyone instinctively looked up.
All I could see was ten thousand meters above the ground.
A shooting star is falling.
No.
That wasn't an ordinary shooting star.
It was a shooting star that was a mix of black and white.
On the left is pure white, as holy as an angel.
To the right is deep black, terrifying like a demon.
Two completely opposite forces merged perfectly on that figure, spinning and tearing through the atmosphere, crashing into the center of the battlefield with a devastating sonic boom!
