Chapter 227: The Melee 5
The Emperor Crocodile's figure shot out of the dust at high speed, charging straight toward Sengoku's knee.
Sengoku was currently in his gigantic state. Even his knee alone stood over ten meters tall. To the Emperor Crocodile lurking in the shadows, he was nothing more than a massive target.
Sengoku spotted him. His golden, radiant foot tore through space as it kicked out violently.
Boom!! A shockwave rippled outward, the ground shattered—but there was not the slightest sound.
Sengoku only felt his knee go numb.
The Emperor Crocodile landed directly on his knee and smashed down with full force.
Buzz! Another shockwave spread out.
Sengoku staggered, his knee suddenly buckling.
"If this continues, I'll be in serious danger!"
Sengoku's body rapidly shrank back to its original form. Carrying boundless light, he threw a punch.
Boom!!
Their fists collided head-on, and both were shaken backward.
The Emperor Crocodile fixed him with predatory eyes. Using the recoil, he vanished back into the dust.
...
On another battlefield.
The demonic CP0 versus Ba wang.
"I didn't see you last time,"
Demonic CP0 said grimly as he stared at Ba wang, who wore a calm expression and carried a hint of scholarly refinement.
There had been early records of Ba wang, but those records claimed his strength was not remarkable. Yet now, he possessed power that could rival his own.
"All I can say is that your intelligence agencies are incompetent."
Ba wang shook his head.
"Hmph. No matter what, let me test your strength."
Demonic CP0 let out a cold shout as a blazing crimson aura erupted from his body.
Boom!!
The aura surged straight into the sky like a towering pillar of flame, piercing through the clouds as the surrounding air was forced aside.
"As you wish."
Ba wang's lips curved into a gentle, scholarly smile.
He snapped his fingers.
Boom!
A thunderbolt cracked across the clear sky. Immediately after, layers of pitch-black storm clouds gathered, and streaks of lightning flashed within them, carrying an overwhelming aura of destruction.
Demonic CP0's pupils contracted slightly.
Bang! A huge crater appeared in the ground as his figure vanished.
In the next instant, he appeared before Ba wang, his blazing crimson fist smashing out as space itself faintly warped.
Ba wang smiled faintly and vanished with a whoosh, transforming into a streak of lightning.
Rumble rumble rumble!!
The thunderclouds pressing down from above roared with frantic peals of thunder. The entire land plunged into darkness as bolts of lightning, like furious dragons, raged across the sky.
Buzz…
Above the thunderclouds, a colossal human face hundreds of meters wide slowly took shape. Its eyes were formed of deep-blue lightning, like the gaze of a thunder god.
"Next, make sure you catch my attacks!"
The massive face spoke with a deep, resonant hum.
Boom!! A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm split downward toward Demonic CP0.
Demonic CP0 punched out.
Boom…
The lightning shattered, blue electrical shockwaves spreading outward.
"So you're a Rumble-Rumble Fruit user…"
Even Demonic CP0's normally cold gaze grew sharp.
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit was known as the most destructive of the Logia-type Devil Fruits—surpassing even the Magma Fruit.
Boom boom!!
Dense bolts of lightning began raining down from the sky.
A terrifying crimson shockwave burst from Demonic CP0's body. The ground within a hundred-meter radius sank as his legs bent slightly—then exploded with power.
Boom!!
His entire body shot upward like a rocket, moving so fast that only afterimages could be seen.
"I'll blow you apart!"
Demonic CP0 Buckd hoarsely.
"Force: Asura!"
Midair, a massive crimson Asura manifestation appeared behind him. Raising its fist, it smashed upward toward the thunderclouds with momentum that seemed to shake space itself.
Boom boom boom! Bolt after bolt of lightning struck the Asura projection, detonating on impact as shockwaves spread in all directions.
The Asura projection trembled violently in response.
