Chapter 329: Like the Sky Collapsing!
Chapter 329: Like the Sky Collapsing!
"Brother, you're flattering me too much! I'm actually quite weak—you shouldn't take me seriously!"
Kuro extended his hand and clenched his fist. "Try this—Lion's Roar: Earth Cyclone!"
Boom!
The ground, slashed by a deep gash, exploded in fragments. Massive chunks of earth soared into the air, morphing into lion heads that roared at Yi Xiao before plummeting downward.
Thud! Thud!
But before they could reach Yi Xiao, the lion heads suddenly crashed to the ground, carving fresh craters into the grassy field. Gravity crushed them, immobilizing the beasts mid-air.
"Brother, it seems my abilities can't touch you", Kuro remarked, landing beside the wreckage. He still controlled the earth fragments, but Yi Xiao's gravity nullified his efforts entirely.
"If it's just about ability, I'm not your match yet."
But then—
"Brother, let's go again!"
Kuro tightened his fist. Stones erupted from the ground, some swirling into lion heads mid-air, others forming a lion-shaped mountain that charged at Yi Xiao.
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Yet every time Kuro shaped the terrain, the lion formations collapsed under gravity, smashing into the earth and pockmarking the once-beautiful meadow into a chaotic wasteland.
Unfazed, Kuro relentlessly summoned his power, trading blows with Yi Xiao in a muddy dance of earth and force.
...
"What? You're not being arrested by the Navy?"
Sabo had reached the village, expecting to rescue civilians from Navy custody. Instead, he was told the Navy had brought food and caused no harm. Even Ju Geng, who had fainted earlier, was revived by a silver-haired girl he'd mistaken for a Luo family maiden.
Realization dawned.
"Turns out they're the good guys after all."
Relieved, Sabo addressed the villagers. "We're here to save you! This country isn't safe anymore—please evacuate with us. Don't worry, we'll protect you!"
Ju Geng, still dizzy from waking, blinked. "Wait—you want us to give you pears? And blindfold us first? Why announce the blindfolds? We don't even have pears."
Sabo froze.
"???"
"The Revolutionary Army sent us", Sabo repeated.
Ju Geng asked, "Wait—you want us to smoke pears? And blindfold us first? Why announce the blindfolds? We don't even have pears."
"No! We're the good guys!"
"Grilled pear snacks?"
"WE'RE Here TO Save You!"
"Are you planning to kidnap us for a drinking game?"
Ju Geng drew her bow, aiming coldly at Sabo. "Leave! We don't need your help!"
Sabo opened his mouth, then sighed in defeat.
"Hey, Sabo—look over there!"
Kerla's startled voice cut through. Sabo turned, eyes widening.
Outside the village, the earth had erupted into chaos. Rocks soared and crashed, transforming the flat plains into a jagged wasteland. The landscape was unrecognizable.
"They say Lucius Kro gained Shanks' strength—guess it's true", the crow muttered, watching the destruction. "This level of power won’t be easy to handle."
"Sabo, stop getting distracted", the crow continued. "These people are fine—the Navy didn’t harm them. Focus on our mission. Now that Lucius Kro’s occupied, this is our best chance."
"Right", Kerla agreed. "Once we save this country, their situation will improve."
Sabo glanced at Ju Geng's icy glare and the confused children. "Alright. Let’s finish our task first."
He turned to Ju Geng. "Please endure a little longer! Soon, no one will go hungry!"
"You call yourself cute and want to vomit now?"
Ju Geng pointed her bow toward the horizon. "If you must, go there."
The children collectively facepalmed. Ju Geng’s hearing was beyond salvation.
...
"Brother, is this endless dance fun?"
Yi Xiao smashed another wave of airborne rocks, sensing Kuro’s aura. "It only wastes energy. But Brother, your physical stamina is impressive."
"Can’t match yours, Brother."
Kuro spat out his cigar butt, lighting a fresh one. Confirming it: this monster’s strength rivaled his own. Abilities were useless—Yi Xiao even countered Kuro’s gravity manipulation effortlessly, turning his own attacks against him.
As swordsmen, their skill levels were evenly matched. But with the Shinmeiryu Style, Kuro believed he held a slight edge.
Hand-to-hand?
They’d be evenly matched too, though Kuro had a few more tricks. But at this level, such nuances barely mattered.
This guy—like Gramps—was at his peak, wielding full Admiral-class power.
Trying to drain Yi Xiao’s stamina through brute force? Who knew when that’d end. As long as he had food, he could keep going—maybe even into next year!
Suddenly, Yi Xiao’s ear twitched toward the village. Nodding, he turned to Kuro. "Brother, if you’re done playing, I’ll get serious now."
He sheathed his blade, purple energy radiating from his body.
Kuro stiffened, instinctively glancing skyward.
"My abilities aren’t limited to manipulating gravity here", Yi Xiao murmured. "I can control things above too. Allow me to send you off with a farewell gift."
Clang!
His blade sealed completely.
Yet at that moment, Yi Xiao froze, staring at the sky. His expression turned strange.
Kuro’s face mirrored his shock, gazing upward in silence.
He remembered—Yi Xiao’s Observation Haki could sense space itself. His ability range extended that far, pulling down meteors from orbit.
But Kuro’s own 【Heavenly Treasure Vault】? Not even close to space.
Which meant Yi Xiao had probably sensed Kuro’s... collection.
Yi Xiao stared at the heavens for an age before slowly lowering his gaze to Kuro, saying nothing.
Kuro shifted awkwardly. "Ah, Brother—just a minor hoarding habit. Don’t mind it. Do your thing."
"Brother’s hobby intrigues me", Yi Xiao replied. "But I’ve already begun."
The moon vanished behind a massive shadow, blotting out the sky. Darkness swallowed the world as a suffocating pressure thickened the air.
Lida inhaled sharply, eyes widening. The shadow eclipsed her entire field of vision.
It was as if the sky itself were collapsing.
Like the heavens had tilted and fallen.
