When fighting against a strong man of Sora's level, even someone as powerful as Yoriichi Tsugakuin needs to be on high alert.
"Yixiao, stay away and don't get involved."
Ji Guoyuan shook the long sword in his hand, and after reminding Yixiao and others, his eyes fell on Ganggukong in the distance.
Ganggukong stood up from the ground and rubbed his lower abdomen lightly, then spat a mouthful of blood and phlegm on the ground. While exercising his muscles, he slowly walked towards Jiguo Yuanyi.
Gang Gukong's speed of progress was getting faster and faster, from slow walking at the beginning to sprinting. After a few seconds, Gang Gukong's figure had turned into a stream of light and suddenly disappeared on the spot.
“Bang!!!”
The moment Gang Gukong's figure disappeared, a violent sonic boom was heard in the air.
The ground where Ganggukong was originally located was now empty, leaving only a deep pit with a diameter of several meters.
"Huh?!" Tsugikuni Yoriichi's observation Haki captured the figure of Kyōkotsu Sora, raised his head slightly, and looked into the sky.
At this moment, Ganggu Kong soared into the air with his muscles bulging all over his body. His powerful aura tore through the space, and countless black lightning flashed around him.
The terrifying aura weighed down on everyone, and even the air felt heavier.
Ji Guoyuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly changed his posture from holding the knife with one hand, grabbed the handle with both hands, and jumped directly towards Ganggukong.
As Ganggukong's figure fell, the terrifying domineering aura condensed on his tiger finger also completely erupted as Ganggukong swung a punch at Ji Guoyuan.
“Bang—”
A blazing white light lit up in the sky. Abel and the others looked up at the sky and subconsciously covered their eyes with their hands.
Gang Gukong's attack was like a nuclear explosion, exploding directly above the Origin Island. The terrifying shock wave spread out in all directions like gravel and sand. In the blink of an eye, red soil and smoke covered half of the Origin Island.
A large piece of the ground on the Origin Island was lifted up by Gang Gu Kong's attack, and the resulting shock wave also affected the entire island. At this moment, everyone on the Origin Island could feel the shaking of the earth.
Looking from the sea, a fist force suddenly penetrated the entire island. The Origin Island suspended in the air trembled violently. Directly below the island, countless pieces of gravel and soil were peeled off from the island and fell onto the sea, stirring up layers of waves.
The blazing white light lasted for several seconds, and then Abel and the others' vision gradually returned to normal.
In the air, the figure of Kong Gu was slowly falling. Apart from him, Abel and the others could not see the figure of Ji Guoyuanyi at all.
"Mr. Jijiguo?!"
“Gone?!”
Abel stared in amazement at the slowly falling Steel Bone Sky. He quickly glanced around and spotted a deep, pitch-black pit a few hundred meters away. From a distance, the pit didn't appear to be very large, but it was bottomless.
With just one strike, Kong Kong's attack actually pierced through the entire Origin Island. If this island wasn't under Yixiao's control, Kong Kong's single strike would have been enough to shatter the entire island into pieces.
After retiring from the position of Admiral of the Navy, Kong was able to go one step further and become the Admiral-in-Chief of the Navy. He is undoubtedly one of the strongest people in the world.
He is even stronger than Garp.
He didn't use any devil fruit abilities, relying only on his terrifying domineering aura and strong body.
The purest form of strength, and also the most difficult type of strong person to deal with in this world.
Everyone on the island had regained their normal vision. Abel, Xiong, and the others stared in astonishment at the deep pit dug by Steel Bone Sora that penetrated the entire island. Their expressions suddenly changed.
Facing such an attack, could even Tsugikuni Yoriichi really withstand it?!
"despair!"
Steel Bone Kong fell from the sky and stepped on the ground with his feet. In front of him was the deep pit that he had dug. Through the pit, he could even see the blue sea below the island.
Gang Gukong lowered his head slightly and looked down into the pit, the solemn expression on his face not fading.
Something is wrong.
The feeling of the punch was not right. Ganggu Kong did not feel the powerful counterattack from Jiguo Yuanyi. Similarly, Ganggu Kong's body did not feedback the feeling of the impact after hitting Jiguo Yuanyi's flesh.
Such a thought only flashed through Gang Gukong's mind. Standing on the edge of the pit, Gang Gukong suddenly noticed an extremely subtle change in the air flow around him. Without thinking, he squatted down.
The black blade was tightly wrapped in golden flames, and the blade flew past Gang Gu Kong's scalp almost touching it, cutting off a few strands of Gang Gu Kong's white hair.
The golden flames were stained on Ganggukong's head, but the strange thing was that the golden flames, which had strong adhesion and vitality, were instantly extinguished the moment they touched the tip of Ganggukong's hair.
At some point, the figure of Yoriichi Tsugakuin appeared behind Sora Aragaki. At this time, half of his body was wrapped in golden flames. At Yoriichi's feet, that is, behind Sora Aragaki, there was a cave the size of a bowl. There was golden flames flowing out of the cave, and were quickly converging towards Yoriichi Tsugakuin's body.
Elementalization!
Although he is a user of a mythical beast-type devil fruit, at this time, Yoriichi Tsugikuni is able to use elemental abilities.
The figure that had risen into the air before was just a fake body made of golden flames, and Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's real body had already transformed into an element and dived into the ground.
The moment Steel Bone fell back to the ground, he attacked and killed him.
In Tsugikuni Yoriichi's consciousness, there is no such thing as "the glory of a swordsman."
As long as he can kill the powerful enemy in front of him, Yunyi doesn't care what kind of ability he uses in the battle.
Be it a head-on confrontation or an attack from behind, these are just means of pushing the enemy forward.
The movements of the Marine Headquarters are clear. The other side has already assembled such a powerful force, and the strong men commanding these soldiers are definitely not just Garp and Sora.
Borsalino alone would not be able to mobilize and command such a large force.
In fact, the Navy Headquarters' action this time will most likely be the same as the last time, and Navy Marshal Sengoku may also be in charge personally.
This person has to deal with more than just Ganggu Kong and others in front of him.
If possible, he needs to kill Kyon Kotobuki at the lowest cost. The less consumption Yoriichi himself suffers, the more energy he will have to protect more new navy in subsequent wars.
However, Yoriichi's attack failed. Although Kyousuke Sora's Observation Haki was unable to directly capture Yoriichi Tsugikuni's figure, his perception of the surrounding environment was sharp enough to sense subtle changes in the surrounding environment the moment Yoriichi made his move.
With his powerful physical skills, Kyousuke Sora is also able to make the most accurate evasive response when facing attacks from Yoriichi Tsugakuin.
The moment when Gang Gu Kong dodged Tsugumi Yoshiichi's attack, he also realized that Tsugumi Yoshiichi appeared behind him. While squatting, he rushed towards the cave in front of him that ran through the island, and his figure instantly disappeared in front of Tsugumi Yoshiichi.
Just when everyone thought that Gang Gukong had fallen into the sea, a big hand grabbed the red rock at the edge of the cave. The next moment, Gang Gukong's figure flew out of the cave and rushed towards Ji Guoyuan at a rapid speed.
Everything happened in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, Gang Gukong had changed from a defensive position to an offensive one, and he had extremely rich combat experience.
Yunyi did not move his feet, but slightly tilted his head and dodged Ganggu Kong's punch; Ganggu Kong, unable to hit him, changed his fist into a claw and slapped Yunyi's head horizontally; Yunyi flipped the long sword in his right hand, quickly reversed his grip, and then the handle of the sword quickly touched Ganggu Kong's wrist. At the same time, the blade also rose up and stabbed directly into Ganggu Kong's chest.
As the two attacked and defended, the shock wave formed by the collision of their domineering auras spread out in all directions.
Without the gorgeous slashes and earth-shaking punches, the battle between the two people became more dangerous by simplifying it.
Gang Gukong quickly retracted his fist and turned his body to the side, narrowly avoiding Tsugakuko Yoshiichi's stab. Just as he was about to continue attacking Tsugakuko Yoshiichi, Gang Gukong suddenly heard a slight sound under his feet. He decisively gave up the attack, kicked the ground with his feet, and directly left the spot sideways.
And the next moment after Gang Gukong left, two golden fire spears shot out from the ground and intersected at the position where Gang Gukong had stood before.
"The intelligence says it's clearly a mythical beast-type devil fruit ability, but it also has a power similar to natural elementalization."
"The totem beast of that ancient civilization actually possesses such power."
In order to deal with Yoriichi Tsugakuni, the World Government and the Marine Headquarters naturally conducted a detailed background check on the devil fruit ability of the Empire.
Although they had not found any specific description of the devil fruit ability of Tsugakuinichi in any ancient documents, after reading a lot of information, they also found clues about the devil fruit of Tsugakuinichi.
A totem on the flag of an ancient civilization that disappeared from this world eight hundred years ago.
A collection of beautiful human beliefs, imbued with hope, blessing, light, rebirth, and so on. A special creature that should never have been personified.
All the mythical beast-type devil fruit users' appearance after transforming into mythical beasts are not real creatures that exist in this world. This is the difference between mythical beast-type devil fruits and ordinary animal-type devil fruits.
The existence of the mythical beast-type devil fruit actually reveals to the world the fundamental reason for the appearance of devil fruits.
Devil Fruit may be the magical fruit that comes into being in response to human expectations and prayers.
Some people hope to have the ability to fly, and nature responded to this expectation by creating the floating fruit; some people hope to be invisible so that they can do whatever they want, and nature responded to this human desire by creating the invisibility fruit.
Some of the abilities of devil fruits can correspond to the best expectations and wishes of human hearts; while another part can also correspond to the evil thoughts and desires buried deep in human hearts.
After creating some distance between himself and Yoriichi Tsugakuin, Sora Akechi kept his eyes fixed on Yoriichi not far away. In front of Yoriichi, the effect of his Observation Haki could not be fully exerted, and Sora Akechi had to rely on his own eyes and ears.
While being wary of Yoriichi Tsugakuni's powerful physical skills, Sora Aoi also needs to defend against Yoriichi Tsugakuni's devil fruit ability.
The golden flame that can penetrate Garp's domineering defense and burn Garp's flesh and blood should not be underestimated.
So, when the domineering power reaches a certain level, it can resist the influence of the devil fruit ability, but Kong Kong didn't dare to take the risk at all. He didn't dare to take the risk that he could quickly extinguish the flame the moment he was contaminated by the golden flame.
Sora Akechi was afraid of Yoriichi's abilities and did not rush forward blindly, but Yoriichi Tsugakuin was not prepared to waste any more time on Sora Akechi.
While the two of them were fighting, soldiers from the Naval Headquarters had been climbing onto the island one after another. The New Navy and the elite of the Naval Headquarters were fighting together.
The sounds of cannons and gunfire came from the edge of the island, and it was perceived that large numbers of new navy soldiers were killed in the meat grinder of war.
With a sigh of relief, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi forced himself to concentrate, holding the knife and rushing directly towards Ganggu Kong.
Chop, sweep, lift, push and cut.
Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's offensive was no longer restricted by moves. The long sword in his hand turned into bursts of blade light. As Gang Gukong kept blocking and dodging, various moves were also continuous.
Not only did the long sword in Yunyi's hand turn into a weapon that could take people's lives, but while attacking with the sword, Yunyi would also incorporate physical techniques. Every joint in his body was a lethal weapon.
Under the smooth attack of Yoshiichi, even Kong Ganggu could only defend himself hastily and had no ability to fight back. It was already a very difficult thing to protect himself from being injured under the attack of Yoshiichi Tsugikuni. Kong Ganggu's powerful domineering aura did not provide him with much help in the battle.
In other words, if you want to fight with Yuichiro Tsugakuko, a powerful and domineering aura like Kong Gu is just a threshold.
If the strength of his Haki did not reach the level of Kong Kong, there would be no possibility of a fierce battle with Yuichiro Tsugakuin.
The aftermath of the battle between the two powerful men could also cause huge damage to the terrain. In just a few minutes, the open space in the center of the island was filled with rubble and deep pits.
Abel, Yixiao and others were also forced back several thousand meters by the aftermath of the fight between the two men, and could only watch the two figures flickering on the battlefield from afar.
Borsalino didn't know what he was thinking, but when Jiguoyuan was fighting with Ganggukong, he had quietly retreated from the battlefield and disappeared from the sight of Yixiao and others.
The landing battle of the Navy Headquarters was extremely brutal. The new navy relied on the fortresses and positions built in advance to firmly defend the starting island.
Although the naval officers who landed on the island tried to establish a foothold on the island, they never succeeded.
On the battlefield, Aramaki, the user of the Mori-Mori Fruit, shined brilliantly. While the new navy's top brass did not take action, he relied on the power of nature to block the attacks from the navy headquarters one team after another.
Dimensionality reduction attack.
With the presence of Aramaki as the vanguard, the New Navy's defense against the Navy Headquarters is basically a dimensionality reduction attack. If things continue to develop normally according to this trend, the New Navy may be able to completely defeat the opponent at the cost of very few casualties.
However, as a lava meteorite streaked across the sky, the situation on the battlefield changed.
