Chapter 586: Something's Not Right!
Chapter 586: Something's Not Right!
"Hmm? It's rare to meet someone who doesn't talk," Sage commented.
Sage's palm opened, "But it's not that important."
Boom! A ball of Tyrant Bomb erupted from his open palm and flew straight at the goggled youth.
The youth was startled, and his fingers glowed with a verdant green light. He swiped forward, and the Tyrant Bomb, which was clearly condensed from willpower, mysteriously vanished before him as if it had never existed.
"Interesting," Sage said with a smile. "My Tyrant Bomb has no effect on you? No, the power of will is sufficient to resist abilities. How did you manage to block it?"
As he spoke, he stretched his fingers, and Tyrant Bombs shot out one by one.
"You don't have to do this to me!" The goggled youth clenched his teeth, and the green light on his hands intensified. He quickly waved his hands, and before the Tyrant Bombs could get close, he swiped forward as if wiping them away with a cloth, causing the incoming Tyrant Bombs to disappear one by one.
Then, he moved sideways and shouted at the other three, "Hey! If you don't make your move, the golden mist will really be gone!"
"Eh? Didn't you say you weren't sure?" The muscular man in women's clothing opened his eyes like a young girl and blinked.
"Cut the crap! If you don't make your move, I'll spill all the details!" The goggled youth shouted, "Once every five hundred years..."
"Attack!"
The silent and taciturn hulk took a step forward, kicking up a storm of sand and stones as he charged towards Sage. He clenched his fists together and threw punches even before getting close to Sage.
Boom! The sound reverberated through the air, and Sage instinctively turned his head, but it seemed a bit late. His body was struck as if hit by a heavy hammer, causing him to stagger back ten steps before stopping.
Lily, seeing this, unconsciously bent her knees slightly, and gripped the hilt of her sword.
"No need," Sage waved his hand, looking at the hulk who was exhaling distorted steam, his entire body seemingly evaporating the air around him.
"Interesting, Shock Wave. Qigong?"
"Exactly," the hulk replied.
The hulk's breath was like a sword as he took a stance and said in a deep voice, "I am Karl Hewitt, a master of all qigong arts on the Great Sea! I am also one who has sworn to reach the realm of the gods!"
Hawkins was stunned, "Karl Hewitt?"
Ulki looked over, and Hawkins added, "I know that name. He's the man who committed the massacre of an entire country in the North Sea, not like Captain's kind. According to the legend, this guy punched every single person in that country to death."
"It's true," Hewitt's voice was hoarse. "It was to test my capacity!"
Boom! As he finished speaking, Hewitt stomped his foot, and the smoke rings rose straight up into the sky. His muscles expanded, and the distorted air around him instantly gathered, concentrating on his hands.
"The Earth King Fist, Eight-Strike Fist, King's Fist, Six-King Spear—these are special fist techniques and qigong arts that differ from Aura powers, and they are all under my command!"
The space around him rippled as he gathered it in his hands, and his Aura was released, enveloping his fist, and a black flash faintly blossomed.
Extreme Armament Color?!
"This guy..." Hawkins furrowed his brows. "Is he really that strong?"
"The strong on the Great Sea are like crucian carp crossing the river."
Lily looked at Hewitt in the sky and said calmly, "Fujitora once served as a defense army commander, and Green Bull was a security officer. Before joining the Navy, they were both silent powerhouses on the Great Sea. There are always strong people on the Great Sea whose names you've never heard before."
She glanced at the other three; except for the long-haired youth named Kazu, whose eyes were covered by his helmet, the others had formidable auras and could be considered among the strong.
However, Lily released her grip on the sword hilt, "But they're not qualified enough for Sage."
"Defeating you is just a stepping stone for me to enter the realm of the gods!" Hewitt declared.
Hewitt's entire body fell like a meteor, and at that moment, his raised fist transformed into a smashing strike, as if...
"Vajra Kingdom Shattering Slash?"
Boom!!
The ground beneath Sage's feet cracked under the powerful impact, revealing a large sunken area around him.
But this fist, filled with might, was met with a light laugh, and Sage caught it with one hand.
"A weakened version that's as weak as it can get, and you dare to show it before me?"
Sage's palm moved, sliding along his fist like a nimble snake, reaching Hewitt's chest. With a two-finger tap, Hewitt's body, which was about to move, stiffened instantly.
Immediately, the hand on Hewitt's chest transformed into a hand blade, striking his throat and sending him flying horizontally.
Whoosh!
In that instant, Sage's figure flashed, appearing in front of Hewitt, and he stomped on Hewitt's head, driving it into the ground.
Boom!
Hewitt's body smashed into the ground, creating a crater.
Sage stood on Hewitt's head, disdainfully laughing, "You're far too weak!"
Sage could see that Hewitt's qigong was indeed powerful, blending and incorporating various martial arts from the Great Sea.
But that kind of thing...
"Do you know? The reason you claim to reach the realm of the gods is that your realm of the gods is merely your limit. I am called the Pinnacle because the people of the Great Sea can't think of another word to describe me; only 'Pinnacle' can do it justice."
Sage's face twisted into a sinister smile, "That's just my lower limit!"
As he spoke, he lifted his leg, intending to crush Hewitt.
"Roar!"
Just then, a burst of scorching aura reached the surroundings, and Sage glanced sideways, seeing a massive pillar of fire rushing towards him.
Whoosh!
Sage lifted a finger, and his cape fluttered, creating a whirlwind that sliced through the pillar of fire. The wind carried the flames upward, forming a sky full of sparks.
Kazu's lower body remained in an odd posture, but his upper body straightened. He wiped his thumb across his nose, baring his teeth in a grin, and a strand of fire escaped from the corner of his mouth.
In that instant, Sage frowned, and as he continued reading, the figure of Hewitt beneath his feet mysteriously vanished.
Something's wrong.
He shouldn't have been able to escape.
Sage's eyes narrowed as he fixed his gaze on the goggled youth. The youth was panting slightly, and lying beside him was Hewitt.
"What did you do this time?" Sage asked.
With a smirk, he replied, "I told you, I won't tell you!"
"Leave it to me. Let me take him down!"
Kaz, who was in an odd posture, suddenly started running, his face brightening into a cheerful smile, transforming from his previous brooding state into a cheerful and simple-minded young man.
"Watch me!"
He leaped into the air, took a deep breath, and as his chest expanded, he lowered his head and unleashed a fiery pillar of flames from his mouth.
"Watch me! Fire Dragon's Roar!"
The pillar of fire roared out once more, and this time, Sage's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked up.
Whoosh!
"Hundredfold Speed!"
The fierce gale continued, tearing the pillar of fire into sparks, while Sage stood unscathed outside the shower of sparks, exclaiming in surprise, "You're quite the chuunibyou, and it's somewhat interesting. Coincidence?"
It had awakened long-buried memories.
"Is fire ineffective against you?"
Kaz swiftly landed, wiping the corner of his mouth. His cheerful demeanor shifted to a more serious one as he assumed a horse-riding stance, clenching his fists tightly in a preparatory gesture. Even his voice, at this moment, became pure and combative.
"Ha!"
With his exclamation, an aura burst forth, causing his armor to crack under the pressure. His slender figure quickly expanded, transforming into a muscular physique.
"Watch me, Kaioken!!"
"Hmm? Hundredfold Speed!"
Sage's pupils constricted, and his body vanished from its original spot, reappearing in front of Kaz. He grabbed Kaz by the neck and lifted him up.
"What did you just say?!"
Sage stared intently at this guy, his eyes filled with extreme disbelief.
Kaioken?
There was no such move in the vast sea.
And this strange aura was even more unfamiliar!
Moreover, the name of this move was so familiar to Sage that it sent shivers down his spine!
"Erase!"
As Sage gripped Kaz's neck, the goggled youth quickly rushed over and extended his hand, covered in a verdant green glow, toward Sage's arm.
Sage's aura enveloped his arm, blocking the youth's hands. With a twist of his waist, Sage's outstretched arm transformed into an elbow strike, slamming into the goggled youth's chest.
Bang!
The youth flew backward, landing on the ground and coughing up blood. But he struggled to get up, giving Sage a thumbs-up.
Sage furrowed his brows. He had just used the Hokoku technique, and his aura should have entered the youth's body. Yet, the youth seemed to have only endured a normal elbow strike, and the power Sage had infused into him seemed to have vanished.
Most importantly, Kaz, whom Sage had been holding by the neck, had disappeared at some point and reappeared on the other side.
"Hehe, curious, huh? Although I can't tell you about my abilities, let me introduce myself."
The goggled youth smiled and said, "I'm Waoh, a special agent hired by the World Government for this mission. Perhaps in the future, you'll hear my name often, but you won't know what I've done."
"Is that so?"
Sage glanced at this guy, then turned to the long-haired youth who was curiously touching his body, his eyes shielded by his hair, and asked, "A time traveler?"
"Hmm? What are you talking about? I'm Kaz, the King of Time!"
Kaz crossed his arms, assuming an arrogant posture, "Also known as Uchiha Kaz! I ate the Enen Fruit and can impersonate others. The more accurate my impersonation, the more power I gain! Come, let me witness your dance!"
"Uchiha Madara?"
Sage broke into a sinister smile, "You've given me a big surprise! I'm so shocked I could tremble all over!"
At that moment, his white hair danced like flames in the wind.
"I have many questions, but I doubt you'll answer them. I was hoping to have some fun."
Boom!
A white cocoon enveloped Sage, then unraveled like an unraveling bandage, revealing not his usual attire but a battle armor imbued with aura.
"Once I capture you, I'll make you speak the truth! Lily, seal off the entire island. Don't let a single one of them escape! Retty, Marica, go and help! Old Hog, Old Wu, stay alert. Don't let any accidents happen!"
Sage opened his eyes, clenching his fist with a booming sound, and snarled at them, "Not a single one of you will escape!"
Something's not right!
Very wrong!
Especially that guy named Kaz, who seemed so intriguing that just thinking about him excited Sage!
Those moves, those names, reminded Sage of something he had almost forgotten—his own origins!
Now that he thought about it, that 'Fire Dragon's Roar' wasn't a normal move either. It wasn't a coincidence; it was something from his own memories!
Some things might be forgotten, but certain triggers could awaken his hidden memories!
The problem was, this was the Great Age of Piracy!
The era of the Pirate King!
There shouldn't be so many strange things!
And this guy, who didn't seem like one of his kind, had an odd role.
These people had gathered for something, even at the risk of offending him, to obtain something.
Sage didn't know what it was, but he would find out soon enough!
Once he captured them, his Hokoku technique would make them speak the truth!
