Chapter 660: Ultimate Mystic Art!
Chapter 660: Ultimate Mystic Art!
In the sky, Kuro barely managed to steady himself at the cloud layer. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. He wiped it away with his sleeve, wincing in pain. His entire body ached! Even with Conqueror's Haki protecting him, that punch made every bone in his body creak. Conqueror's Haki Encasement! Kuro naturally recognized this technique. Among the top-tier fighters of the Grand Line, only a few could master it. Beyond its sheer power, it carried a crushing force capable of shattering one's very will!
"Got caught!" Kuro's eyes darkened with fury. "That punch really hurt, Big Mom!" He raised Autumn Water vertically, then swiftly dragged two fingers across the blade. "Black Tortoise Body!" A wisp of a Black Tortoise's shadow imprinted itself into his body, shrinking as it merged. Better to add some defense first. If that punch landed a few more times, he wouldn't last.
Golden lightning surged across the blade, as if an Ultimate Mystic Art had been etched into it. Kuro tightened his grip on Autumn Water, his body nearly transforming into golden light as he thundered downward.
Clang!! Bang!!!
Above the Grand Line, Yi Xiao, standing on a stone platform, clashed with Charlotte·Big Mom, who was enveloped in swirling winds. Though separated by air, the space between their weapons twisted and exploded violently. The stone platform beneath Yi Xiao shattered into shards, sending his body flying backward and landing directly on the previously split island. Yi Xiao landed heavily, causing the ground beneath his feet to crack into jagged pieces.
"What ferocity", he muttered, gripping his sword tightly. "Miss, your strength is truly immense."
"Mamamama, flattery won't save you now, Vegapunk!" Charlotte·Big Mom cackled maniacally. "I'll kill you!"
"I'm not that weak either, especially", Yi Xiao suddenly lifted his head, "in this situation, it should be you worrying about survival, Miss."
Clang!
Hazy dark clouds in the sky, a wisp of golden light pierced through the surrounding darkness. "Brother!!" The voice from the sky that made Charlotte·Big Mom cringe rang out.
Yi Xiao sheathed his staff-sword. The descending golden light accelerated, becoming a lightning-fast streak from the heavens, forming a single straight line between heaven and earth. Charlotte·Big Mom looked up, gripping Napoleon with both hands. The white flame aura surrounding her blade crackled into white lightning, its edges hardened by Conqueror's Haki as she swung an upward slash that split the air itself.
The golden streak surged forward, about to collide with Charlotte·Big Mom's blade. In her wide eyes, she could see Kuro's smug face. "Little brat!!" Charlotte·Big Mom roared, swinging her blade upward. "You idiot, you think you can block me?" Kuro's blade rose, gliding upward just before touching Charlotte·Big Mom's Haki. His blade skimmed along the critical edge of her Haki, a golden streak descending from the heavens, slicing through the Grand Line below Charlotte·Big Mom, carving a deep, abyss-like gash in its wake.
One slash, splitting the sea.
Hiss!!!
A crimson line appeared from her chest downward, all the way to her waist, spurting out blood violently. Kuro maintained his descending posture with Autumn Water, glancing upward and stating calmly, "Ultimate Mystic Art."
Speed is strength. With Yi Xiao's gravity enhancement, this slash's speed had become unimaginably fast. Combined with Kuro's inherent power of the Ultimate Mystic Art, it was enough to leave Charlotte·Big Mom with a wound that would never heal.
"Little!! Brat!!!" Charlotte·Big Mom's painful cry followed. This time, she didn't lose consciousness temporarily. Instead, the pain enraged her further, her pupils turning completely crimson. Gripping Napoleon tightly, her Long Blade extended to an immense length as she swung it downward in a fierce slash.
"Beast Bite!!!" The technique, encased in Conqueror's Haki, carried a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering might as it slashed downward.
"Brother!" Kuro called out. Yi Xiao shot upward, landing swiftly on a stone platform beside him. The two swung their blades in unison.
"Almighty Push!" An immense repulsive force erupted around them, halting the incoming Long Blade in its tracks.
A throbbing vein bulged on Charlotte·Big Mom's forehead. The harder she pushed, the faster blood gushed from her wounds. "Get away! This damned ability!" The Long Blade was repelled by a tremendous force. With their combined abilities, she couldn't break through at all.
"Mother." On the distant Queen Mother's Sanctum, the lion Mink Pekoms expressed concern. "Mother's injured. This is getting dangerous."
"Mother's enraged now. We can't retreat, but this battlefield isn't somewhere we should approach." Daifuku said, then gritted his teeth while glancing at Dressrosa. "Damn Donquixote Doflamingo! Even with two superpowered fighters, he still lured Mother here. The Seven Warlords of the Sea are indeed just World Government lapdogs."
"What do we do now?" Pekoms asked. "First, let's move the ship back to avoid getting caught in the crossfire, Mother." Daifuku hesitated before finishing.
No one can defeat two Admirals, let alone fight them both simultaneously. That Golden Lion isn't an Admiral, but his current performance is no different from one. Mother will lose. Indeed, no one can handle two Admirals at once. Not to mention strong men like Kuro and Yi Xiao whose abilities complement each other perfectly. Their combined power is even more terrifying than two Admirals working together.
After repelling Charlotte·Big Mom's attack, Kuro's lips curled into a smirk. He vanished in a flash, attacking from the left. Meanwhile, Yi Xiao dashed to the right, leaping across stone platforms. One golden, one purple, they lunged toward the pink giant's form.
The Grand Line erupted into violent waves. With such powerful combatants, victory wouldn't be decided in an instant. Even two Admirals couldn't determine the outcome immediately. This fight's far from over.
Two days later. The battle on the Grand Line continued relentlessly. The previously split island had long since crumbled into ruins, and the Grand Line occasionally surged with new waves of turbulence.
"Beast Bite!" The clash of strength continued unabated! Kuro and Yi Xiao converged, unleashing another combined technique to block Charlotte·Big Mom's attack.
"This damned woman... She's tough!" After two days of maintaining such intense combat, even Kuro had started to feel fatigued, his breathing slightly heavier. Beside him, Yi Xiao had also started panting. Charlotte·Big Mom's condition wasn't much better.
"Hahaha..." She missed her slash, panting heavily while gripping Napoleon. Thundercloud Zeus swirled beneath her feet, flame Prometheus burned in her left hand, howling winds of Anemii roared around her, and the Grand Line's sea water Okeanos churned violently. Her body was now tattered, covered in wounds of varying sizes. The two scars on her shoulders had started flushing red, and the most severe injury - a vertical line running from her neck down to her waist - occasionally spurted blood.
"Kuro, you little brat! I'll kill you!" Charlotte·Big Mom roared.
"All talk, no action. Why don't you try?" Kuro tightened his grip on Autumn Water, instinctively reaching into his coat for a cigar, but froze when he realized he'd run out. The cigars had long been destroyed in Charlotte·Big Mom's attacks over these two days.
"Then I'll..." Kuro's words only enraged Charlotte·Big Mom further as she raised her blade to charge forward.
"Mother!!!" At that moment, the Queen Mother's Sanctum approached, and Pekoms shouted from a distance, "Bad news! Intelligence reports say Sengoku is already en route!!"
