The huge explosion sound almost never stopped, and the battle in the sky became more and more intense. Before he knew it, Nuo Xia had been fighting with the golden lion in the air for several hours.
Compared with when we first met.
At this moment, Nuo Xia's upper body clothes had been completely wiped out, revealing a large area of strong wheat-colored chest muscles. Her black hair was fluttering in the wind, and her body was covered with wounds.
As for the golden lion, although there were not many injuries on his body, he was breathing heavily and his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.
On the surface, it seemed that the Golden Lion had the upper hand in the fight between the two.
However, at this moment, only the two of them knew clearly that the current situation was still confusing.
Although it was true that Nuo Xia had always been suppressed and at a disadvantage, the more the Golden Lion fought, he discovered that the young brat in front of him had endless physical strength and could not feel tired at all.
The strength of its body and its inhuman speed of self-healing were so terrifying that it even made him feel terrified.
The many sword wounds on the densely covered chest, without much blood flowing out, were constantly being healed and healed under his eyes, becoming as good as ever...
What a monster this is!
Compared to the shocked Golden Lion, Xia Nuo has become more familiar with the game now, his fighting spirit is getting stronger and stronger, his eyes are bright and his fighting spirit is high.
"He is worthy of being a legendary pirate as famous as Roger Whitebeard."
Bang! There was another stagger, and the sword blades touched each other. Through the gap between the four swords, he raised his head and faced the golden lion above, grinning:
"Those guys I've fought against before, whether it's Katakuri or Dugalile... are far less difficult than you."
They were clearly words of praise, but in the ears of Golden Lion, they felt like some serious humiliation.
"Stop comparing that kind of junior to me, kid!"
He was so furious that his beard and hair stood out. He suddenly clenched his hands and waved them down!
The boundless dark clouds above the head suddenly seemed to be sucked in by a tornado, and turned into countless giant sharp arrows condensed by mist, shooting towards Nuoxia Chan below!
The sky and the earth are overwhelming, and the flying arrows are like rain!
"Handsome, still handsome."
Nuo Xia looked up at the sky and shook his head slightly, his eyes still calm, "It's just that it's useless to me..."
Whoosh!
A stern look flashed in his eyes, the sword blade slashed out, and the wind roared, forming a wide wind wall tens of meters long in front of him.
Barrier of wind!
Countless giant fog arrows swept in, densely packed and terrifying.
But the moment it came into contact with the wind barrier, it was as if it had entered a different dimension, and was suddenly swallowed up and disappeared without a trace.
The entire sky suddenly became quiet.
"..."
The golden lion's eyes widened in disbelief - he could easily break his own killing move with just a sword. How did this kid do it?
There was no time to think about it, because at this moment, Nuo Xia below had already flashed and disappeared from the spot.
"Here!"
The golden lion's eyes flashed red, and he waved his swords without hesitation, slashing towards the empty rear!
Sure enough, at the moment when the slash fell, Nuo Xia's figure appeared, and the latter was already used to the golden lion's advance perception.
After parrying the opponent's slash, he shouted again, seizing the opening and ramming in from the right side of the Golden Lion's waist and abdomen!
Clang clang clang!
The offensive and defensive momentum of the two people went back and forth, but they kept failing. Soon, they once again entered an increasingly violent state of fierce fighting!
…………
In an offshore platform that has almost become ruins.
The battlefield was in chaos. The Jailers and Jailermons, under the leadership of Aokiji, were locked in a fierce battle with the flying pirates who attacked from high altitude.
Until night falls quietly, the sun sets, and the bright moon hangs high in the night sky.
This battle has not stopped yet, with both sides suffering casualties. However, due to Aoki's bravery, one person has almost restrained several of the opponent's top cadres. The original disadvantage of the Impel City side is being regained bit by bit.
As a user with Poison Fruit ability, Magellan was able to provide a lot of help to Aokiji in the beginning.
But soon, as news of the increasingly serious riots at the lower levels reached the upper levels, he had no choice but to withdraw from the battlefield above and enter the prison below for support.
One can imagine the pressure on Qing Pheasant's shoulders.
but……
"After all, you are still under greater pressure, Nuo Xia..."
Boom! A heavy punch froze a pirate who was attacking behind him into an ice sculpture on the spot. Aokiji turned his head and looked at the sea in the distance.
Under the bright moon, the furious golden lion was beating Nuo Xia back.
The latter's body continued to fall from the sky into the sea, and then suddenly jumped into the sky under the cover of the exploding water column, continuing to resist...
call.
Qing Pheasant couldn't help but let out a breath of cold air and looked solemnly.
He knows better than anyone else that the fighting here, no matter how loud the noise is, no matter how many people are involved, and even counting the group of prisoners who took the opportunity to riot below, it is just a small fight...
What determines the final direction of this war has always been the confrontation between the Golden Lion and Nuo Xia.
"Just believe him, Lieutenant General Kuzan!"
Suddenly a familiar voice came from behind his ears. Qing Zhi turned around and looked up, but it was Magellan covered in blood who appeared above him again at some point.
Obviously, this means that the riot below has been initially controlled.
"We just need to do our best. Speaking of which..."
Magellan swung out two fists, smashing the two attacking pirates into pulp, grinning and saying:
"Lord Noxia, you have always been half of my idol. He has created enough miracles... It will be the same this time, isn't it?"
But that's a golden lion...
This was the first thought that came to Aokiji's mind, but after meeting Magellan's bright eyes, he remained slightly silent, and then nodded slightly.
yes.
That kid is only twenty years old, but he has already created so many amazing miracles.
From the strongest recruit in the history of the elite battalion to the youngest lieutenant general in the entire history of the Navy...
That guy's future is destined to be bright and dazzling, which is beyond their imagination. How could he end up in a place like this!
"Work harder, Magellan!"
An ice shield was summoned at random, blocking the attack of two pirate cadres on the right. Aokiji raised the corners of his mouth and spoke briskly:
"We can't relax here. If Nuo Xia kills the Golden Lion later and comes over to see us half-dead, it will be a big loss!"
"No problem, Mr. Kuzan!"
Magellan also laughed loudly, and the venom on his body squirmed, turning into a dragon, and surged towards the pirates rushing from all directions...
——————
The level of stalemate in the battle between Nuo Xia and the Golden Lion was beyond everyone's imagination.
Three days and three nights.
The battle between the two lasted for three days and three nights.
On the first day, Nuo Xia was shot down into the sea countless times, and rose into the air countless times. Under the various means of the golden lion, he gritted his teeth and tried his best to hold on.
The next day, the same scene continued to happen at sea.
From early morning to dusk, the two of them were like tireless gods of war. The fierce battle caused the heaven and earth to overturn and the roaring waves.
On the third day.
The prisoner riot inside Impel Down City was completely suppressed. After the jailers paid a heavy sacrifice, the invasion of the Sky Pirates also failed, and a large number of pirate cadres were arrested.
The Qingzhi, whose body was covered with scars and was weak and weak, sat slumped against the ruins without any image, looking at the sea in the distance.
There, Nuo Xia was knocked into the sea again. Within a few seconds, he suddenly jumped out of the whirlpool and slashed at the golden lion in the air with his sword.
His demeanor was brave and his eyes were sharp, unchanged from the previous few days.
However.
He is not tired, but the golden lion is.
The angry lion in mid-air is still floating there.
When the two swords are slashed out, they still have the terrifying power to split the sea into two;
With a flick of the command, the clouds, rain, mountains and rivers can still surge and roar away like the fingers of his arm.
But whether it is the blue pheasant with extraordinary vision or the ordinary jailers.
At this moment, you can clearly feel that the aura of the golden lion is getting weaker and weaker, and the majesty of the king and lion that originally looked proudly at the sea is also constantly weakening...
Obviously.
Although his physical strength is no longer at its peak, he relies on the power of the Piao Piao Fruit to make his battles as easy as possible.
But after days and nights of non-stop high-intensity fighting, he finally showed signs of being unable to stand it any longer.
And as time goes by, the strength in all aspects continues to decline at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"He will soon be unable to suppress Nuo Xia..."
The green pheasant's eyes were deep and far-reaching, and he murmured in a low voice, "Lion, you are getting old after all..."
————————
clang!
There was another violent explosion, and where the sword energies intersected, Nuo Xia only took a few dozen steps back and then stopped firmly. He was not shot down into the sea like before.
On the contrary, the golden lion in the sky, shaken by the aftermath, turned dozens of somersaults in the sky and retreated hundreds of meters before using the power of the Piao Piao Fruit to barely regain its balance.
"cough……"
He coughed violently and his chest heaved violently. Before he could adjust his breathing rhythm, Nuo Xia below was already expressionlessly drawing his sword to strike again.
laugh!
The golden lion hurriedly waved the two swords on his legs to greet him, but his speed was much slower than when they first started fighting.
Azakana's sword was blocked by his "Deadwood", but the other "Sakura Ju" failed to successfully intercept the wind sword, and was easily bypassed by the latter, turning the slash into a killing, piercing the calf.
puff!
Blood mist bloomed in the air, and the armament that the golden lion subconsciously gathered was unable to play any defensive role under the sharp sword.
When the wind sword was pulled out again, most of the muscles in the Golden Lion's entire leg had been gouged out, exposing the dense white bones inside.
"You still have enough physical strength now, you little brat..."
Holding back the severe pain, the golden lion suddenly exerted force and shook Nuo Xia's swords away. At the same time, he pointed a little and the surrounding air gathered and squeezed Nuo Xia crazily, "What kind of monster is this!"
Nuo Xia's black hair was blown wildly by the strong wind, but her body remained motionless.
"I said it three days ago, the golden lion..."
He spat out the blood from his mouth with a squeak, and with cold eyes, he pressed the golden lion's swords upward inch by inch, "You refused to listen when I told you to get out with your men, but you regret it now, it's already too late!"
"Do you think you've got a sure chance of victory, kid?"
The golden lion smiled instead of being angry. Perhaps it was due to the severe pain in his legs, or perhaps it was because of Nuo Xia's words. His facial features became ferocious and distorted, and he said almost every word:
"regret?"
"The word regret has never been in my dictionary!"
boom!
As Golden Lion's words fell, a mind-shaking and terrifying aura suddenly swept across in all directions!
Overlord color... domineering!
Almost in an instant, the high altitude, which had returned to calm, once again set off a doomsday-like violent airflow. The clouds surged, lightning roared, and the whole world changed color!
The sea stirred up huge waves. As a legendary pirate from the old era, Golden Lion's domineering intensity was comparable to that of Roger, the Pirate King, and far from comparable to Katakuri, whom Nosha had fought against back then!
All of a sudden.
Not only were there frequent phenomena between heaven and earth, but even in the ruins on the sea that were several kilometers apart, a large number of jailers were affected. They fell down in pieces like waves of wheat blown by the strong wind, and fell unconscious and lost consciousness.
Only Aokiji and a few of the top officials of the Sky Pirates who were tied up were not greatly affected.
As for Nuo Xia, although his strength also belongs to the top group, and in fact, only Aokiji can compare with him, the situation at this moment is completely opposite to these people.
After a long and hard battle, although he still seemed to have strong physical strength, his spirit still had its limits after all, and he was already in a very exhausted state.
But the golden lion was just a stone's throw away from him. After the overlord's power was fully unleashed, he almost withstood all the frontal impacts head-on.
then.
Buzz!
At this moment, Nuo Xia felt that every cell in his body was trembling slightly.
That extremely overbearing sense of oppression penetrated deeply from the surface of his body into his soul, causing him to hold his head in agony, revealing a ferocious and twisted look on his face.
If it weren't for "Occlumency" as the last line of protection, he might have passed out on the spot and his body fell into the sea.
"Overlord color..."
Nuo Xia whispered in a voice that only he could hear. The golden lion not far away became blurred and multiple phantoms appeared.
And his consciousness was already extremely close to a state of trance and confusion at this moment, and he didn't even notice that he bit his lip during the repeated process.
He carried the hopes of Qing Pheasant and all the jailers, backed up the deep-sea prison full of criminals, endured all kinds of pressures and hardships, and fought hard for three days and three nights, but in the end, this was the result?
Overlord color and domineering?
We should obviously continue to fight head-on, right?
In that case, even if he is the final loser, he will still lose with dignity and glory!
But now, I have tried all my means and used all my strength to push the golden lion to such a point. In the end, I will fall like a nobody and fall under the impact of the overlord?
How funny!
"Overlord color..."
His eyes were bloodshot, and he murmured again unconsciously in a daze.
Is it coming to an end?
In this way?
No!
no way!
He is unwilling to give in. Even if it ends, it should never end like this!
The family that needs to be protected, the girlfriend who cares about him, the lovely daughter who is just starting to raise him, and this dirty world that he needs to clean up...
From an unknown young man in the East China Sea, he has overcome obstacles and braved the wind and waves. How difficult it is to grow to this point! He, Romanov Nosha, has too many things to do in the future, how could he fall in a place like this?!
Suddenly.
The moment a silent roar rang out in Nuo Xia's heart, a terrifying power that made one's soul tremble suddenly burst out from his body!
boom!
This power is not caused by the body breaking through the limit in desperate situations, but is innate but deeply hidden. The moment it explodes, it is perfectly integrated with Nuo Xia's aura.
The whole world seemed to fall into silence at this moment.
Immediately.
This domineering aura that burst out of the body suppressed the domineering color of the golden lion around the body and swept it away in an instant!
And like a flash flood, it swept across in all directions!
