Chapter 356: True Thousand Hands!
Chapter 356: True Thousand Hands!
The island split in two, shocking countless onlookers. This event occurred in the first half of the Grand Line, not even in the latter half, where such displays of power were rare.
"Too strong, too strong!"
"That newcomer is actually holding his own against a Marine Admiral, Sengoku the Buddha!"
Morgans watched from a distance, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he rapidly snapped photos with his camera. Click, click, click!
Sengoku might not be the strongest in the world, but he stood at the pinnacle of the seas, representing the World Government's highest combat power.
There were very few in the world who could match him blow for blow.
Feng Ye, a newcomer unknown until now, had managed to hold his own against Sengoku. After this battle, his name would resound throughout the Great Sea!
Even if Feng Ye had no crew before, all he needed to do now was call out at the Shabondy Archipelago or any other pirate gathering place, and countless individuals would flock to join his crew, forming fearsome pirate crews that would strike terror into the hearts of all who sailed the seas!
As Morgans excitedly clicked away, his fingers suddenly stilled and his pupils contracted slightly.
He saw Sengoku, locked in a stalemate with Feng Ye, stumble and take two or three steps back in midair after their collision.
Feng Ye, hovering in the air, showed no signs of retreating. In that exchange, he seemed to have gained the upper hand, edging out Sengoku!
"Is he...?"
"Is he suppressing Sengoku?!"
Morgans' eyes widened, and a look of shock crossed his face.
Just then, Feng Ye's figure flickered, vanishing from sight, only to reappear closer to Sengoku. He threw a rapid series of punches, each one landing squarely.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
Black Armament Haki coated Sengoku's golden body, but it did little to protect him from Feng Ye's onslaught. Sengoku's body caved in under the relentless blows, and he was sent flying backward. With a thunderous crash, he smashed through over a dozen buildings before finally landing on the beach.
"Admiral... Sengoku?!"
The Marines witnessing this scene were stunned into silence. They found it hard to believe what they had just seen. Their highest combatant, Admiral Sengoku, had been suppressed!
"How can this be...?"
"Admiral Sengoku is our strongest fighter..."
Even the Vice Admiral who had accompanied Sengoku on this mission wore an expression of disbelief as he stared at Feng Ye in the sky.
How could someone be so strong!
"Hmm, to withstand my continuous attacks and still maintain your form, you are indeed strong, Marine Admiral, Sengoku," Feng Ye commented, hovering in the air as he addressed the distant Sengoku.
Sengoku, lying in a massive crater, struggled to his feet. The golden light emanating from his body had dimmed considerably, and visible wounds marred his form.
He stared at Feng Ye, his eyes now devoid of all emotion, replaced by absolute solemnity and gravity. Clenching his fists, he let out a low roar.
Boom!!!
Golden light flared, and Sengoku's body swelled further, reaching a height of nearly 40 meters. He loomed large, exuding an aura of terror.
With just a slight step forward, he unleashed a violent shockwave that caused the ground to tremble and shake, wreaking havoc on the surrounding area.
This was the power of the Daibutsu form fully unleashed. In this state, even Sengoku couldn't control it perfectly, and it would cause immense collateral damage, which was why he usually refrained from pushing his Devil Fruit ability to its limit.
"You can still increase your strength?"
"You are indeed powerful. Up until now, you are the strongest person I've encountered in this world. I acknowledge you, and so..."
At this point, a golden light appeared around Feng Ye, and a golden Immortal Technique robe materialized outside his body.
As his words fell, Feng Ye gently exhaled, then brought his hands together in front of him, his ten fingers crossing and clasping tightly. Enormous chakra began to surge within his body.
The entire earth began to tremble violently, causing Sengoku, who was about to charge towards Feng Ye, to suddenly freeze in his tracks. Sensing something, he lowered his head to look at the ground.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!
The ground began to crack.
From the fissures in the earth, thick wooden tendrils extended, transforming into countless gigantic arms that loomed tall. They continued to rise higher and higher.
The circle upon circle of arms quickly surpassed the height of Sengoku's Daibutsu form, still growing relentlessly. After two more circles, a massive wooden head appeared, and finally, the entire body emerged from the ground.
The towering wooden statue stood several hundred meters tall, an imposing figure between heaven and earth.
The fan-like arms that extended from its body reached even higher, adding another hundred meters to its height. This colossal entity stood on the coastline, resembling a deity as it looked down upon Sengoku, who was nearly forty meters tall himself.
The immense chakra that converged on the Wood Release technique seemed to take on a tangible aura, spreading out in all directions. Feng Ye stood atop the head of the True Thousand Hands, looking down at Sengoku below.
"As my acknowledged opponent, I shall face you with my True Thousand Hands!"
"..."
Sengoku fell into a daze.
Not just Sengoku, but also the distant Navy members, including the vice admiral Akainu, were all stunned by the sudden appearance of the hundreds-of-meters-tall wooden statue that loomed between heaven and earth.
"Wh-What is that...?"
"Stone... No, wood? A wooden statue?!"
"Is this also that guy's ability? That size..."
Many of the Navy soldiers were left in a dazed state.
The towering True Thousand Hands, standing several hundred meters tall, was almost comparable in height to the Navy Headquarters' fortress. One could say that its mere presence was akin to facing the entire Navy Headquarters!
As they watched in a daze, the wooden statue suddenly moved. The fan-like circles of gigantic palms behind it all clenched into fists.
At that moment, everyone froze.
"Hey, hey... Are you kidding me...?"
"This thing... It can move?!"
A Navy vice admiral stared at this scene, cold sweat trickling down his face. His body trembled violently, and he unconsciously took a step back.
Feng Ye stood calmly atop the head of the True Thousand Hands, gazing downward and saying, "Of course it can move. Isn't that only natural?"
"Impossible..."
Sengoku, in his Daibutsu form, looked up at the towering wooden statue, a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
Creating such a massive wooden statue must be a result of some ability, but it certainly wasn't the ability of the Gravity-Gravity Fruit!
Seeing all those gigantic palms clenched into fists, he had a very bad feeling about this.
Amidst the oppressive atmosphere...
Feng Ye extended his left hand and pushed it forward.
Following his movement, the countless clenched fists of the statue also sprang into action. In an instant, they rained down blows like a violent storm onto Sengoku below.
"Summit Buddhist Transformation!!!"
