The movements of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who was wrapped in the domineering aura, also became sluggish. This unfamiliar domineering aura was extremely powerful. Like Yoriichi's own domineering aura, it had already formed a substance and could have a huge impact on people.
The Conqueror's Haki of most people actually does not have such characteristics. Simply releasing Conqueror's Haki can only be used as a means of coercion at best. If you want Conqueror's Haki to have its due effect, you must rely on real objects.
For example, fists, weapons, etc.
Similar to the domineering aura that restrained Tsugakuni Yoriichi's actions at this moment, Tsugakuni Yoriichi had rarely seen it in anyone other than himself over the years.
Shanks's Conqueror's Haki has almost reached this level, but the strength of Shanks' Conqueror's Haki is far different from the strength of the Conqueror's Haki released from the huge straw hat at this time.
"Is this Yimu's true strength?!"
"Is the straw hat one of the means by which she releases her domineering Haki?!"
Such a thought flashed through Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's mind, and the next second, he denied the idea in his mind.
It’s not that he has never fought with Im before. Judging from those few fights, Im simply does not possess such strong domineering aura.
If Im really possessed such power, there was no reason why he didn't use it in the previous fights. Although Tsugikuni Yoriichi did not really pose a fatal threat to Im's life in those fights, he suppressed his opponent throughout the whole process.
If the other party really has such a trump card, there is no reason not to use it.
What made Yuichiro Tsugikuni even more concerned was that the straw hat that "grew" out from the ground at this time looked extremely familiar to him.
It was just like the straw hat he saw Roger wearing back then.
Although they are all straw hats, the world is so big and the shapes of straw hats are so strange that it is difficult to explain this consistency of style as "coincidence".
Behind every coincidence, there is an implicit inevitability.
This is what is called destiny.
"It's not Yim's property."
"If so, what is the relationship between Im and Pirate King Roger?!"
"Roger's straw hat passed through two hands. First it was given to Shanks, and then it was given to Luffy."
"The meaning of the symbol should be the so-called 'inheritance'."
"Then the owner of this straw hat..."
At this moment, many things were running through Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's mind. As his thoughts raced, he also glimpsed some truths hidden in history.
However, before Ji Guoyuan could carefully deduce, the corpse of Jialin Sheng, which had grown a new head, had already moved.
As if to match the domineering aura released from the straw hat, a black tail suddenly shot out from under the body of Garin Sheng, like an arrow from a bow, and pierced directly at Ji Guoyuan's head.
The opponent seemed to have a certain understanding of Tsugikuni Yoshiichi himself. When attacking, he did not choose the heart, which had a higher probability of success, but instead chose the head, which was most likely to be avoided, as his primary target.
Perhaps she understood that even if her attack successfully pierced Tsugukuni Yoriichi's heart, it wouldn't necessarily kill him.
“Huh?!”
Ji Guoyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and murmured softly.
His body became a little slow under the influence of the domineering aura, and coupled with such a swift attack, if it were someone else, there would be no way to dodge the opponent's attack.
But unfortunately, it is simply impossible to rely on this level of domineering aura to restrict Tsugikuni Yoriichi's actions!
Admittedly, the domineering aura released from the straw hat is really powerful, but it is not enough when facing Yoriichi Tsugikuni!
"Buzz—"
An even more violent domineering aura was released from Tsugikuni Yoriichi's body, and even a low humming sound was heard in the air. Yoriichi's domineering aura and that unknown domineering aura collided with each other, and a strong wind blew up in the battlefield without warning.
The moment the Conqueror's Haki was released, Tsuchikuni Yoshiichi's body completely regained its ability to move. Before the enemy's attack came, Tsuchikuni Yoshiichi turned his head to the side, and the long sword in his hand quickly slashed forward, and the arrow tail that was attacking him was also directly cut off by Tsuchikuni Yoshiichi.
Half of the pitch-black tail fell to the ground. The broken tail was like a fish off the shore, jumping violently on the ground.
It's alive.
Ji Guoyuan snapped his fingers and a ray of golden flame fell on the broken tail. The broken tail jumped more violently after being contaminated by the flame, but after a few breaths, it stopped moving and was soon burned to ashes by the golden flame.
At this time, Jiguo Yuanyi became a little more cautious. He suddenly found that there were too many strange things in the holy land. Even the lifeless corpses could stand up again. After seeing so many strange things like this, Jiguo Yuanyi couldn't help but be more cautious.
When dealing with such an enemy, I'm afraid we can't even leave their corpses behind, for fear of any abnormality.
Ji Guoyuan raised his eyes and glanced at the corpse of Jialinsheng. The head of a young girl that had grown back on the corpse was covered with black hair, making it difficult to see her appearance clearly.
The aura emanating from the other party made Tsugikuni Yoshiichi feel somewhat unfamiliar. In his memory, he seemed to have never faced such an enemy before.
A stranger?
No, it's Im!
Ji Guoyuan stared for a moment and came to this conclusion in his heart.
The only person in this world who can tamper with the bodies of the Five Elders is probably Im. Even if the person in front of him is not Im's real body, he is most likely an avatar created by Im using some means.
After making this clear, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni waved at Sengoku who was not far away, signaling him to stay away.
Sengoku's Achilles tendon has been injured by Shanks and there is no way for it to recover in a short period of time. Through the transparent world, Jigoku Yuan had already seen through Sengoku's injury.
The next battle is not something that Sengoku can participate in. Because he is injured, he is not only unable to provide any help to Tsugakuni Yoriichi, but may even become a burden to him.
Rather than having to distract himself and take care of Zhan Guo after the battle starts, it is better to let Zhan Guo retreat now.
When Sengoku saw Tsugakuni Yoriichi's gesture, he did not insist on staying on the battlefield. Although he was unwilling, Sengoku understood that staying would only increase the difficulty of Tsugakuni Yoriichi's battle.
Dragging his injured foot, Zhan Guo kicked off with his left foot, quickly jumped off the battlefield, and put some distance between him and the enemy.
As Zhan Guo left the battlefield, Ji Guoyuan lightly danced a knife in his hand, and without saying a word, he slashed directly at Jialin Sheng's body.
The speed of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's slash was not fast. For Tsugakuni Yoshiichi himself, this slash was just a casual attack to test the opponent's ability to move.
He wanted to know what kind of combat performance Jialin Sheng's body would have after it regained its ability to move.
Something like what is happening before my eyes now may happen a second or third time.
Perhaps, when Jiguoyuan encounters Im's puppet army in the future, it will be necessary to have a clear understanding and cognition of the strength of this kind of puppet.
However, what surprised Tsugikoku Yoshiichi was that in the face of his attack, the opponent not only did not show any intention of dodging, but instead raised his hand and made a defensive gesture.
"Does a corpse still have any domineering power?!"
Ji Guoyuan's expression condensed, and such a question emerged in his mind. Under his gaze, a powerful domineering aura burst out from Jialin Sheng's body, and instantly covered the long sword in his hand.
"clang!!!"
As Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's slash landed on Garin Sheng's sword, a crisp golden sound rang out on the battlefield.
Even the slash that Tsugakuya Yoshiichi released casually was extremely powerful. When he blocked it head-on, a small pile of earth formed at the heels of Jialin Sheng's body, and his body was forcibly knocked back several meters by Tsugakuya Yoshiichi's slash.
However, his posture was very stable, and it seemed that it was not difficult for him to take on Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's attack.
Very strong
Moreover, the domineering aura released from this puppet is not from Im, but from Garin Saint himself.
This puppet actually possesses the same domineering aura as the one that Garin Sheng possessed!
This discovery also surprised Tsugikoku Yoshiichi. It also meant that the master behind this puppet would not consume his own domineering aura when controlling the puppet. If conditions permit, the other party might be able to control thousands of such puppets without worrying about not having enough domineering aura in battle.
This is a very terrifying power. Just imagine, in the long 800-year history of the holy land, how many powerful people have appeared among the Tianlong people?
If the bodies of these strong men did not disappear, but were preserved by someone in some special way for use in battle, what a powerful force this would become.
Impure World Reincarnation in the Pirate World?! Unlike Kabuto's "Wild Zen" that only took a few years to accumulate, if it's true, as Tsugikoku Yoshiichi believes, that the Holy Land has been collecting the corpses of the powerful all along, then to what extent must the power accumulated over these 800 years be!
Ji Guoyuan felt his hair stand on end when he thought of this. Without holding back at all, his figure suddenly turned into a stream of golden light and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
The next moment, the figure of Tsugikoku Yoshiichi suddenly appeared in front of Jialin Sheng, and the long sword surrounded by golden flames slashed directly across Jialin Sheng's body.
The strength that Jialin Sheng could exert after becoming a puppet was only 70% of his actual strength. Although Jigoku Yoshiichi only made a probing move, he was able to gauge the opponent's strength from his defensive actions.
In order to avoid any further complications, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni took decisive action and destroyed the puppet.
"laugh!"
Jialin Sheng's body was cut into two pieces by Ji Guoyuanyi at the waist. Suddenly, black flames burst out from the broken end and rushed towards Ji Guoyuanyi fiercely.
The sudden appearance of this flame was even beyond Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's expectations.
This should be some kind of mutually destructive trap set in the puppet's body. Once the puppet is destroyed, it will be activated. If the attacker is not careful and is hit by the black flame, he will probably be doomed.
However, although Tsugakuin Yoshiichi did not guess that the other party would set such a trap in the body of Garin Sheng, he was not caught off guard by the other party. The reason was very simple, because Tsugakuin Yoshiichi was strong enough, so strong that such a small trick could not shake him at all.
When the black flames rushed towards Ji Guoyuan, Ji Guoyuan shook the long sword in his hand, and countless sword beams instantly filled the space in front of him.
The black flames that started the explosion were also directly cut apart by the sword light. The black flames fell to the ground and soon disappeared without a trace.
At this time, the body of Garin Sheng was slowly burned to ashes by the golden flame of Tsugikoku Yoriichi, leaving no trace of him in the world.
"Is it over?"
Not far away, Zhan Guo, who witnessed the entire battle process, muttered to himself and breathed a sigh of relief.
When Garin Sheng's dead body stood up again, Zhan Guo's heart was already in his throat. When facing the encirclement of Garin Sheng and Shanks, Zhan Guo was not so nervous, but when he saw Garin Sheng stand up again, his heart was full of worry.
When facing a known powerful enemy, people are actually mentally prepared.
However, when faced with the possibility of a corpse "coming back to life", people often feel unsure.
Before Tsugumi Yoshiichi finished burning Garin Sheng's body, he was not even sure whether such an enemy could be defeated by humans.
It is not difficult to understand why there were such huge emotional fluctuations during the Warring States Period.
"Finish?!"
“This is just the beginning.”
Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who was not far away, seemed to have sensed something, but after hearing what Sengoku said, he shook his head, and then the expression on his face became extremely solemn.
As if in response to Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's words, a loud roar suddenly came from the ruins of Pangu City in the distance, and a huge rock directly broke through the golden flames and plowed the ground.
Tsugumi Yoshiichi swung his long sword and released a slash, directly chopping the flying rocks into powder. But at the same time, a wide road leading to the ruins of Pangu City appeared in front of Tsugumi Yoshiichi.
At the end of this road is a dark pit.
This pit seemed to absorb the surrounding light. Even the golden flames nearby could not illuminate the pit.
“Crash.”
Heavy footsteps came from the darkness, and the sound of armor colliding echoed in the dark pit. The footsteps and the sound of armor colliding were getting closer and closer to Tsugikuni Yoriichi and Sengoku.
When Zhan Guo heard the sound, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. He seemed to have guessed something and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Even the relaxed Tsugikoku Yoshiichi felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and understood clearly:
"So this is the so-called holy land!"
"So, this is the World Government's trump card?!"
After a while, dozens of figures walked out of the pit. Some of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked like aristocrats; some were ragged and seemed to be pirates from the way they were dressed; some were wearing uniforms. Although they were slightly different from the navy uniforms, the seagull logo on their chests and hats still revealed their identities.
These people had different identities, but they had one thing in common, that was their exposed skin was dry and rotten, emitting a smell that made Zhan Guo hold his breath when he saw this scene.
Mummies are all mummies.
Moreover, they are all powerful and famous people who once roamed the seas!!!
Zhan Guo recognized two people among these people, the Red Earl who was defeated and disappeared by the former Navy Marshal Kong Gukong; and the Pirate King Roger who had been executed in Rogue Town!
