Chapter 612: One Piece? Meaningless!
Chapter 612: One Piece? Meaningless!
"Controlling Thunder and Lightning?"
Within the thunderous roar, akin to the sound of a water bucket, Nas Shurou's calm voice echoed through the half-skeleton, half-centaur body. Surrounded by black flame clouds and electrical sparks, he emerged from the thunder with half of his body, drawing the First Generation Onimaru from his waist and swiftly slashing upwards, creating a flying strike with an icy chill that raced towards the swiftly ascending Sagel.
This strike seamlessly merged with the thunder, unaffected by its power. As it slashed through the air, even the wind froze, causing the area around Sagel to become stagnant, resulting in a momentary dullness.
"Chill?"
Sagel quickly regained his composure, extending his hand to deflect the incoming slash from below.
Whoosh!
The slash, emanating chill, grazed his palm without causing any injury. However, the peculiar chill turned into a freeze, rapidly engulfing his entire hand and spreading towards his wrist.
"This isn't ordinary freezing; it's different from Kuzan's. Is it Freezing Life? So, it's the Hades Chill."
Sagel shook his wrist, shattering the ice on his hand into ice crystals that could no longer spread.
"Let me show you my move!"
Swiftly clenching his fist, the flame wheel behind his head intensified, sending a stream of fire to his fist, igniting a blazing inferno. Sagel raised his fist, ready to strike downward with immense force.
"Flame Fist!"
Boom!!
As the water-bucket-thick thunder dissipated, a pillar of fire poured down, engulfing Nas Shurou's body.
The flames, like waves, spread across the ground, forming a circle that expanded outward, turning the earth into a sea of fire.
The half-centaur's figure swiftly emerged from the pillar of fire, stepping into the fiery sea. The flames that enveloped his body were extinguished by the Hades Chill, leaving scorched areas that quickly healed under the black flame clouds. Just as he was about to swing his sword for another attack, a residual image appeared above him.
"Too slow!"
Sagel grinned menacingly, punching straight towards Nas Shurou's head. His fifty-fold Haki, condensed within his body, burst forth with the punch, shattering the skeleton-centaur's body with a single blow.
As the bones shattered and scattered, black flame clouds rose, forming a thick fog that enveloped the just-descended Sagel. Within the fog, Nas Shurou reappeared behind him, his glasses emitting a chilling light. The sword in his hand was raised diagonally downwards, exuding chill as he slashed at Sagel's nape.
Nas Shurou's forehead bulged with a burst of green veins as he gritted his teeth, "Die!"
Despite his regenerative abilities, the pain from having his organs crushed by Sagel's Haki remained.
Was this the agony Satan endured?
"I told you, you're too slow!"
Without turning back, Sagel's black blade reflected light within the fog, inches from his face. The mouth, stretched into a near-tearing grin, slashed through his body.
Residual Image!
Numerous afterimages appeared around Nas Shurou, their arms moving in unison to strike the half-centaur's body.
"Hundred Phantom Assault!"
Just as the punch was about to land on Nas Shurou, the ground beneath the afterimages transformed into quicksand, and a giant sandworm emerged from below, lifting Nas Shurou a hundred meters into the air, evading Sagel's attack.
"Bug Devouring Hell!"
The sandworm emitted a deep sound, and the quicksand around it extended numerous sand tendrils, grabbing at the afterimages.
Boom!
The afterimages instantly vanished, leaving only the real body, which exploded with an aura from its feet, propelling it upwards into the sky.
However, just as it reached the sky, Nas Shurou, who had been lifted a hundred meters high, swiftly descended, stomping on the air with his horse legs. The First Generation Onimaru in his hand flashed with a black blade, and he slashed horizontally.
"Frost Beak!"
The chill emanating from the blade froze the air below, turning it into a frozen mass of water. Ice crystals quickly spread forward, completely freezing the area beneath.
"Oh?"
Sagel sidestepped, witnessing the horizontal ice crystal plane that had appeared right before his face. He shook his body, shattering the ice crystals that had encroached upon his surface.
"Not bad coordination, but..."
Pressing his left hand against his right palm, he lifted his leg and unleashed a black-red light upwards, shattering the ice crystals in its path and striking Nas Shurou above.
"Is this how you plan to deal with me? You're way off! Crushing Annihilation!"
A shockwave engulfed Nas Shurou, causing a ripple that dispersed the surrounding black smoke. Sagel descended like a meteor, swiftly reaching the sandworm that had emerged from the ground.
Peter, in the form of a sandworm, opened his massive mouth, attempting to swallow the minuscule figure above.
"Eat?"
"I'll make you pay for this!"
Sagel's sinister laughter filled the air as he clenched his fists, condensing his Haki into a powerful force. The concentrated black light surged into the Sandworm's body.
"Great Redertia!"
BOOM!
The already massive Sandworm inflated like a balloon and exploded, creating a massive mushroom cloud. The impact caused the ground around the island to shake as if an earthquake had struck, and five deep fissures radiated outward from the epicenter, with seawater gushing through the cracks and spreading across the land.
Within the mushroom cloud, the Sandworm shattered into fragments, scattering across the island.
"Hahahaha!"
Sagel's attack hit its mark, and his body surged upward, flashing towards Nas Shurou, who had just solidified his body using Haki. Before Nas Shurou could react, another Great Redertia blast struck the centaur-like figure.
BOOM!!
The mushroom cloud rose into the sky, shaking the upper research layer, which was connected by a white cloud, couldn't withstand the impact and began to crumble. The egg-shaped research layer tilted to the side.
The sky, already shrouded in dark clouds, was pierced by a massive hole. As it contracted, a fierce storm raged outside the island, accompanied by thunderous lightning.
"Such power," Marz remarked, a shadow crossing his eyes. "As expected of a destructive force, even more potent than the Gura Gura no Mi. The weather has changed, and this island's climate will become terrifying from now on."
"It's not just the Haki," Worley, in his Giant Boar form, rumbled. "The important thing is that body. To have developed the Mo Mo no Mi to this extent... In the past few hundred years, I've only seen one person capable of such a feat. They're a perfect match."
"No need to worry," Satan II said, glancing at the Sandworm fragments lying in front of the spider's legs. "We're already working on it. Once we succeed..."
He lifted his head, gazing up at the sky where Sagel was wreaking havoc like a demon. "We will also master this power!"
As he spoke, his eyes narrowed, focusing on Sagel. Marz let out a piercing scream and flapped his wings, flying towards the research layer.
Obtaining the Mother Flame was far more important than dealing with these individuals.
Just then, two hands, larger than giants, emerged. One hand, like a colossal net, covered Satan II's head, while the other gripped the bird's snake-like neck.
"Hahahaha! Let me join the fun! Gomu Gomu no..."
Luffy burst into laughter, his body spinning like a top. With incredible speed, he swung the two hands, lifting the head of the Giant Boar and the body of Izanagi Heaven, spinning them together at high velocity.
"Gomu Gomu no Fuusen!"
BOOM!!
Satan II's head was flattened, and he retreated into the spider's body, while Marz's head retracted into the snake's neck, even his long beak disappearing inside. Only a pair of blinking eyes remained, creating a comical sight.
"Damn you!"
Worley stomped forward, his four tusks aimed at Luffy. Kicking up a trail of dust, he charged with immense force.
"Don't forget about me!"
Bonnie's clothing turned white, and she was enveloped in white flames, having obtained the 'Future Nika Form'. Her fist, like rubber, inflated into a giant size and struck Worley's head.
BOOM!
The sound of the impact echoed as Bonnie's fist bounced off the thick skin of Worley's head, causing her to let out a soft grunt and fly backward.
"So hard!" Bonnie exclaimed.
"Indeed," Akainu clicked his tongue, his gaze settling on Bonnie in her Nika form. "Is her power that versatile? Can she even mimic that form?"
Did Bonnie find Worley's skin hard?
Akainu was impressed that this young girl could even engage him in combat. It was a shocking feat.
Could the Toge Toge no Mi have reached such a level?
Nika's future? What about Akainu's?
Moreover, Akainu turned his attention to the area around the Giant Boar, where two dark clouds rose. Nas Shurou's centaur-like form and Peter's Sandworm materialized from the clouds.
"It's not just about creation and regeneration anymore. Is it pure immortality if they can revive even after being shattered?"
Akainu laughed. "Add to that this mysterious teleportation ability. It seems that simply smashing and throwing them into the sea might not be effective."
"Hahahaha! This is hilarious!"
Luffy laughed heartily in the air, his legs kicking wildly. Big Mom's voice continued to broadcast through the speakers.
"The 'Mother Flame' I created, which can provide infinite energy to the entire world, has been partially stolen and used in a certain weapon, leading to the destruction of the Kingdom of Lulusia. The sea level rose by one meter, and in these past few hundred years, it has risen by a total of two hundred meters!"
"I won't discuss good or evil, but I want to reveal the truth as I know it. For example, 'Joy Boy', nine hundred years ago, there was a highly advanced kingdom with technology that even I can't replicate today."
In the vast kingdom, the world's first Pirate King, Joy Boy, was born.
"He fought against the combined forces of twenty nations, the predecessor of the World Government, and ultimately lost."
"During this war, the sea level rose, and the world we live in now is but fragments of the previous world. Under the sea, there are traces of the former world."
"I must say, this wasn't a natural disaster; it was caused by a 'weapon'. The war, which lasted for nine hundred years, never ceased, and even now, it continues between 'weapons'!"
"Enough!"
Satan's head returned to normal, and he glared at the nearby Bajapongke. "Turn it off! Bajapongke!"
"The truth must be revealed, even if it costs me my life."
Bajapongke shook his head. "This matter will be known! There's nothing remarkable about revealing the truth. I don't understand what you're all afraid of; everyone has the right to know the truth!"
Suddenly, Satan opened his mouth and sprayed black pellets like shotgun pellets at Bajapongke. Seeing this, Luffy was startled and instinctively reached out to grab a nearby tree.
Boom!
But faster than him was a massive flame that covered the black pellets, causing them to explode and release toxic fumes.
"Don't mess with the people I've set my sights on."
Sagel snarled, "Didn't I already say that killing him is useless? If you really want to stop this, why not look for the mechanism?"
"Sagel! Do you really want to be destroyed?!" Worley shouted.
"You act like you have the ability to take me down."
Sagel landed in front of Bajapongke, glanced at the nearby Luffy and Bonnie, and said, "Why not think about how to achieve your goal from the hands of these two troublesome people. Hey, Bajapongke, the Primordial Fire Seed, you have a clone up there, and my subordinate is there too. Give me that thing."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Five Elders' pupils contracted. Marz, who had the ability to fly, took the lead and flew towards the research layer. Relying on his immortality, he directly crashed into the laser circle outside, attempting to squeeze in.
Satan's spider legs pressed down, intending to use their elasticity to bounce up, but as soon as he jumped, he was pinned down by Luffy's large hand.
At the same time, Luffy's other hand reached up again, grabbed Marz's bird leg, and pulled him down.
"Hahaha! I won't let you go! There's also Big Mom's clone up there!" Luffy laughed with joy.
"Not only are they troublesome to me, but they're also extremely difficult for you. Enjoy the feeling brought about by this absurd situation."
Sagel hugged his arms and looked at the still-intact large screen, a smirk forming on his lips. "The ancient weapon... it's indeed a good thing."
"There are three great 'ancient weapons' in the world. I don't know why Joy Boy left this thing for future generations, but the truth will eventually be revealed to the world. The blank century, shrouded in heavy mist, will have pioneers who clear the fog and uncover the truth."
"The Pirate King is the one who knows the truth. I don't know the full picture, and I don't understand why they don't reveal it, but what I do know is..."
Boom!
From the cracks that appeared, a mysterious loud noise echoed, and an ancient robot rose from the ruins, heading towards the Five Elders' location.
"The one who finds the One Piece will possess the key to everything in the world!!!"
Bajapongke's voice rang out from the screen, so loud that even the sounds of battle on the island momentarily ceased.
"Obtain... everything..."
At this moment, people all over the world fell silent.
"Hey, Bajapongke, is this your deduction?" Sagel asked.
"Yes, the One Piece definitely holds the key to obtaining everything!" Bajapongke nodded emphatically.
"I don't believe this."
Sagel's voice turned solemn. "I only believe in what I grasp with my own hands. The world I desire is one that I personally control and rule! To place the whole world on a treasure is meaningless; there's no control to speak of! One Piece, humph, it's pointless!"
