From Lord Lantern's opened mouth, a powerful domineering aura surged out, and the terrifying atmosphere instantly enveloped the entire harbor.
Yixiao and Mihawk shifted their gazes from Little Mihawk and the others above the sea, and looked towards the mouth of Lord Lantern, both of their faces filled with solemnity.
The domineering aura that emerged from the Lantern Man's mouth gave the two of them a strong sense of familiarity, and it was precisely because of that sense of familiarity that their expressions became so solemn at this moment.
Tsugikoku Yuichi
Such a thought flashed through the minds of the two people almost at the same time, and soon, a figure slowly walked out of the mouth of a lantern-shaped adult, confirming their guess.
Like Xiaomi Hawk and others, the young man who walked out of the Lantern Man's mouth this time also had long snow-white hair, which was tied into a high ponytail at the back of his head and hung down to his lower back.
The appearance of this white-haired boy is almost exactly the same as that of Yoriichi Tsugakuni now. There are no red marks on his face, and his temperament is unusually peaceful.
However, the terrifying aura emanating from him was completely different from the temperament revealed by his appearance.
Unspeakable terrifying pressure was exerted on everyone. Some young new navy officers simply could not withstand the domineering aura from the opponent. Not long after the appearance of Shiragaki Tsugumi Yoshiaki, they could no longer hold on and fainted with their eyes turning white.
After more than a hundred people fell in succession, the domineering aura on S-Tsugikoku Yoshiichi slowly faded away.
“It’s truly amazing!”
Looking at S-Tsugikuni Yoriichi who landed lightly on the shore, even a knowledgeable and powerful man like Mihawk couldn't help but sigh.
But soon, a faint smile appeared on Mihawk's face, and he held the long sword in his hand horizontally, and the blood in his body began to boil.
There is no doubt that the white-haired Yoriichi Tsugakuni in front of him should be a clone based on Yoriichi Tsugakuni. The powerful aura he exudes is much stronger than that of the other clones.
What surprised Mihawk the most was that the clone of Yoriichi Tsugakuni in front of him actually possessed powerful domineering Haki.
This also made Mihawk very interested in this clone, and he wanted to experience the other party's strength for himself.
Without any nonsense, Mihawk took action immediately after seeing the opponent he wanted. He kicked the ground with both feet, and Mihawk's figure disappeared from the spot in an instant like thunder in broad daylight.
“Bang—”
It was not until the next second after Mihawk's figure disappeared that a sonic boom was heard. At the moment when the sonic boom reached everyone's ears, Mihawk's figure had already spanned dozens of meters and appeared in front of Kotsugu Yoriichi.
The pitch-black long sword slashed down diagonally, and Mihawk's powerful domineering aura was instantly condensed on the blade. The fierce attack fell directly towards Xiao Jiguo Yuanyi.
"Hmm"
Just when Yoriichi Kojimura was about to be beheaded by Mihawk with a single blow, the young man quickly raised the long sword in his hand, and while raising the sword, he lightly flicked the handle with his thumb, pushing out a small section of the blade and directly blocking it in front of himself.
"Buzz—"
The moment the blades in Heidaoye and Xiaoji Guoyuan's hands collided, the powerful domineering aura instantly formed a hurricane, sweeping towards the surroundings.
Under the impact of the hurricane, the new navy that had gathered at the harbor also dispersed and were forced out of the battlefield, leaving only the white-haired boys with black wings, Mihawk and Yixiao.
This battle is not something that an ordinary new navy can intervene in. In the entire new navy, there are very few people who are qualified to participate in this battle.
“Huh?!”
Mihawk murmured softly when he saw that his slash was easily blocked by the opponent.
"Nice blocking!"
"But this is far from enough."
After a soft compliment, Mihawk exerted his strength and directly suppressed the opponent's blade. The sharp blade then rested on the shoulder of Yoriichi Kojikuni.
The protective suit specially made for combat was unable to provide any direct protection to Yoriichi Kojimura from the sharp edge of the black knife.
A cut was instantly made on the clothes on one shoulder of Xiao Jiguoyuan, and blood flowed out of it.
What was surprising was that the blood flowing from Xiao Jiguo Yuanyi's shoulder wound was not the normal red color of humans, but a faint fluorescent gold. The golden blood quickly soaked his combat uniform.
Under Mihawk's strong pressure, after just one encounter, Yoriichi Tsugakuni was injured slightly.
However, he seemed to be completely unaware of the injuries on his body, and the expression on his face did not change at all because of the cut on his shoulder.
However, the little bear who was a little further away took action when he saw that his friend was at a disadvantage. He patted his thigh lightly and disappeared silently in an instant.
When the little bear appeared again, he was already on Mihawk's body, and he quickly slapped Mihawk's vest.
Unlike the high-speed movement of the strong ones, the little bear uses the replicated ability of the Meatball Fruit, which can almost achieve the effect of instant movement.
It was so fast that even Mihawk could barely react.
Mihawk quickly gave up suppressing the little bear in front of him, jumped directly into the air, and dodged the little bear's attack. While dodging the attack with a light backflip, Mihawk's figure appeared in the air directly behind the little bear.
Seeing that his opponent had revealed an obvious flaw, Mihawk took advantage of the moment of being in the air and slashed three sword lights directly at the back of the little bear.
Unleashing three slashes in a split second, this level of speed was clearly not Mihawk's limit. If one were to ignore the power of the slashes, Mihawk could easily unleash a thousand or even ten thousand slashes in that short span of time.
However, if you want to ensure the power of the strike, three strikes are the best solution in the current situation.
The green slash came from the blind spot of Kuma's vision, but the moment Mihawk drew his sword, the other "Seraphim" all set their sights on Mihawk.
The angle at which he struck the sword was also seen by all the other Seraphim.
The little bear with its back to Mihawk obviously noticed the attack from behind. Its chubby body suddenly twisted flexibly at this moment, and it dodged Mihawk's attacks one after another in an extremely awkward posture.
The slashing blows landed on the ground, creating several bottomless cracks in the ground. The thick dust produced quickly swept over and enveloped the entire battlefield.
Everyone's vision was blocked by the stirred smoke and dust, and at this moment, the breath of Yoriichi Kojimura disappeared without a trace in an instant.
“!!!”
Mihawk and Ichisho lost their observation Haki of Kojikuni Yoriichi almost at the same time, while Kuma, Mihawk and Abel gathered together at the first moment under their perception.
Just as Mihawk was looking around vigilantly, a cold light suddenly appeared behind him.
Mihawk indeed did not sense any enemy approaching, but as a battle-hardened swordsman, Mihawk's perception of danger did not rely entirely on his five senses and his observation Haki.
Intuition. A strong person's intuition about danger is sometimes even more sensitive than his observation Haki.
It is precisely because of this intuition about danger that Mihawk survives one fierce battle after another, becomes stronger step by step, and reaches a higher position.
Mihawk raised his sword and turned sideways. At the same time he made an evasive move, the long sword in Xiao Jiguoyuan's hand brushed past the blade of Mihawk's Black Blade Ye.
Sparks flew out from the collision between the two men's weapons, and the crisp sound of golden sound made Yixiao frown slightly.
"No matter the strength or dominance, no one can compare to this deity."
"But he has inherited some of my special abilities very well."
"Not only can it replicate the power of a devil fruit, but it can even replicate its own special abilities?!"
Killing by sight and hearing
Mihawk had once felt the terror of this power during his sparring with Tsugikuni Yoriichi, but that was merely a sparring match. Mihawk probably never imagined that he would one day face a life-or-death battle with a powerful being who possessed the ability to see and kill.
What makes Mihawk feel difficult is that the opponent's fighting style can be said to be in the same line as Yoriichi Tsugikuni's, powerful but not lacking in wisdom.
He is not the kind of person who only knows how to throw bricks with great force but does not know how to use his own strength.
The thick smoke and dust is the best shelter for the opponent's Jianwensha. Even though the opponent's hard power is far from comparable to that of Mihawk, but relying on the ability of Jianwensha and the help of several other people, this group of people is enough to pose a fatal threat to him and Yixiao.
What Mihawk could realize, Yixiao could certainly realize as well.
Although he couldn't see, he could feel the dust in the air.
After his Observation Haki lost his ability to sense the enemy and heard the crisp golden sound, Yixiao immediately realized the impact of the dust on the battlefield on Mihawk.
If his vision was not obstructed, Mihawk's powerful dynamic vision would always be able to provide some help to him in battle, so that he would not be completely at a disadvantage like he is now.
"Buzz—"
Yixiao's center of gravity sank slightly, and he suddenly swung the long sword in his hand towards the sky. The power of the gravity fruit instantly rushed into the sky.
“Boom boom boom boom—”
And just the next second after Yixiao put away his sword, a loud roar was heard in the sky, and a blazing meteorite directly broke through the clouds and fell towards the sea.
The target of his attack was the giant mechanical beast floating in the offshore waters!
Yixiao keenly realized that the mechanical sea beast of unknown size might be the key point of this battle!
After all, the four white-haired teenagers who appeared at the harbor all emerged from the belly of that mechanical sea beast. Who could guarantee that there wouldn't be more powerful clones appearing?!
When he smiled at this moment, he already regarded the other party as an invader.
In the belly of Mr. Lantern's fish.
In a laboratory on Stomach Island No. 1, Vegapunk and his clones were exclaiming in surprise at the land display screen inside the laboratory:
“Hohoho!!!”
"So powerful! Is this the might of the New Navy's admirals?!"
"That's amazing! If we can replicate his devil fruit power and create a new Seraph, we could probably easily wipe out those pirate groups with bounties of 400-500 million!"
The eyes of several "Vegapunks" were full of excitement. With the help of Lord Lantern's vision, everyone in the laboratory could grasp everything happening on the coast.
That's right, those Seraphim that appeared on Cake Island were all Vegapunk's masterpieces. During the period of transforming Lord Lantern and seizing control of his body, Vegapunk was not idle at all and simultaneously conducted experiments on artificial humans.
The research on bloodline factors has made breakthrough progress after years of dedicated study. At the same time, Vegapunk also invented the truly infinite energy source - the mother fire.
It is the brilliant colorful flame in the lantern in front of Mr. Lantern's head.
With the Mother Fire as the core and the research results of bloodline factors as an auxiliary, Vegapunk finally completed the research on Seraphim, completely abandoned the traditional mechanical structure, and created clones.
S-Kuma, S-Abel, S-Mihawk and S-Tsugakuni Yoriichi, these four Seraphs are Vegapunk's masterpieces over the years.
Vegapunk is a scientist who is determined to change the world. He has made many efforts to lead the world out of the great pirate era.
In his view, the most fundamental dispute among human beings is the dispute over resources.
As long as we can create an inexhaustible source of energy, we can achieve world peace to a certain extent.
At the same time, Vegapunk is also a pragmatic person. He understands that if he wants the world to get back on track, he must first completely eliminate the pirates in the cholera world.
Based on this idea, he began to study bloodline factors and artificial humans.
Letting humans fight against humans will cause huge casualties to the "good guys" camp. Not to mention the time cost required to train strong people is an unbearable burden.
The navy has been established for hundreds of years, but has not been able to completely eliminate pirates.
Vegapunk hopes that he can create an ultimate weapon and use it to fight against pirates.
The Seraph Project was born.
After decades of hard work, his plan was successful!
For the first battle after the Seraph appeared in the world, Vegapunk selected several top fighters of the new navy.
He believed that Seraphim could play a huge role in maintaining world peace. Before that, he needed to let the strong men of the new navy correctly understand the power of Seraphim!
"S-Bear, block that meteorite!"
In the laboratory, Vegapunk looked at the huge meteorite falling towards Lord Lantern, grabbed the microphone at hand with a calm expression, and gave an order.
