The flying squirrel lying on the ground next to him had a strange look on his face.
It has been so long, but my impression of Nosha still remains at the time when William was in the Shichibukai.
Didn’t you know that this guy just defeated Du Galileo, who had a bounty of 500 million beli, just a few months ago?
"This guy is a user with diamond fruit ability, and his physical strength is very strong. Be careful."
Although he was very confident in Nuo Xia's strength, he still turned his head and reminded the latter with difficulty.
"rest assured."
Nuo Xia waved his hand, signaling the flying squirrel to retreat from the battlefield. His eyes turned and landed on Diamond Jozi's face, his brows slightly furrowed.
I don't know if it's an illusion.
He always felt that there was something strange about the Diamond Jozi in front of him, and it was slightly different from the image in his impression.
In addition, the Whitebeard Pirates are now facing challenges from the other two Yonko in the new world. They are short of manpower. There is no reason why this guy would appear here in the park, right?
There was no time to think about it, because when Qiaozi saw that he didn't answer, he laughed angrily, raised his fists with a ferocious expression, and hit Nuo Xia on the head head on!
"Since you want to be the scapegoat, then I will help you!"
Nuo Xia raised his head slightly and looked at the fist that was rapidly enlarging in his eyes. He still stood there with a calm expression, as if he had no desire to take action or dodge.
clang!
There was a dull loud noise, and a giant fist made of diamonds landed on Nuo Xia's head.
However.
Under the combined effect of the "Steel Skull" and "Rough Skin" skills, Nuo Xia's body remained motionless, his forehead was only slightly sunken, and then quickly returned to its original shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"That's it?"
Nuo Xia raised his head as if nothing had happened, looked at Jozi with a look of disbelief on his face, and shook his head slightly, "Too weak... You don't even have the strength to hit anyone, so you have the nerve to say that you are Whitebeard's captain?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp light suddenly flashed in his eyes. He clenched his backhand into a fist and smashed it into Diamond Jozi's waist and abdomen at an incredible speed.
Boom!
The dull loud noise made the surrounding ground tremble.
After just holding on for a second or two, Diamond Jozi flew upside down like a puppet with its strings cut off, screaming and crashing into a siege machine dozens of meters away.
Wow!
The huge siege equipment collapsed instantly, and the few pirates who had no time to dodge became stepping stones. Unluckily, they were pressed under the flying strong men, and they immediately fainted as they rolled their eyes.
"what's the situation……"
The pirate captain in the distance transformed into a giant black bull. When he saw this scene, his eyes widened and he broke into a cold sweat:
"Did that new navy brat actually suppress Diamond Jozi in terms of strength?"
Are you kidding me?
Diamond Jozi, isn't he the most famous for his physical strength among the squad captains under Whitebeard?
"Ahem..."
Among the rubble, Qiaozi looked at Nuo Xia with his hands on his chest, gritted his teeth, as if he was not convinced, and rushed forward with a fist again:
"Bastard... come again!"
"You still want to fight?"
Nuo Xia looked at Qiaozi who was getting closer and closer, and sneered. He still had no intention of drawing out his sword. He suddenly closed his left hand, wrapped it with layers of air waves, and punched out hard!
boom!
The low muffled sound, like the thunder behind the gathering of dark clouds, spread in all directions.
In the eyes of countless people, the two fists with disproportionate power and size collided violently, and the winner was instantly determined. Nuo Xia only took six or seven steps back and easily stabilized his body.
.
And on the opposite side is Jozi.
Then his body flew out like a cannonball, his feet plowed a deep ravine dozens of meters long on the ground, and he crashed through several big trees before finally clearing up the aftermath and crashing into a huge boulder and stopping.
.
puff!
He spat out a large mouthful of blood and gasped violently for a while before finally staggering to his feet.
Compared to the arrogant and fierce appearance just now, Diamond Jozi was as angry as a hairspray and pale in face at this moment. If it weren't for the indestructible diamond protection ability, most of the impact was removed.
Perhaps at this moment, he was already unconscious on the spot like those unlucky pirates who were affected.
"The real Diamond Jozi's physical strength is not so bad, and his grasp of the fruit's abilities is not so superficial."
Passing through the diffuse smoke and dust, Nuo Xia put away Yongen's swords, walked step by step, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, who are you?"
"...Hohohohoho, have you been discovered?"
It was obvious that he was running out of gas, but facing the approaching Nuo Xia, Diamond Jozi not only showed no fear, but instead grinned and let out a high-pitched laugh:
"It's really disappointing. Sure enough, the number of times I imitated that guy Jozi was still too few. With his form, I can't use my full strength..."
Whoosh!
The moment the words fell, the figure of "Diamond Jozi" blurred and changed. Between the distortion of light and shadow, the originally tough muscular man disappeared and turned into another image that Nuo Xia was quite familiar with.
He has a golden punk head like a pineapple, half-open fish eyes, a dagger on his waist, and a black tattoo of the Whitebeard Pirates on his chest...
Whitebeard Pirates, Captain of the First Division, "Phoenix" Marco!
"...What on earth happened!"
"Where's that Diamond Jozi guy? How did he become like that Phoenix Marco!"
People who witnessed this scene from a distance suddenly burst into an uproar. The navy looked at the slender figure in surprise and uncertainty. Even the pirates were so shocked that their mouths opened.
Especially those pirates who joined the "Diamond Pirates".
They were following Diamond Jozi's reputation, so as soon as they heard that the other party was preparing a pirate group, they rushed over to join him as soon as possible!
Why do you look like you are stupid now and have taken refuge in the hands of an impostor?
"Ah, as expected, it's much more comfortable like this."
Phoenix Marco lowered his head slightly, looked at the injuries on his body, and snapped his fingers indifferently. A ball of blazing blue flames suddenly emerged, covering the injured parts.
Within a few breaths, those external injuries recovered quickly, and his body was like a real "Phoenix".
"After the transformation, even the tone and demeanor have become completely different..."
Looking at the "Marco" opposite, Nuo Xia raised his eyebrows, and for the first time, he showed great interest in the opponent in front of him:
"But these are not important. You can even imitate your abilities. It's interesting. Who are you...?"
"Beat me, and you will be qualified to know."
Marco smiled at him, as if his whole person had become gentle and lazy due to the change in his image, "Or..."
But the next moment, he broke the disguise!
"When you die in my hands, I will let you know clearly before sending you on your way!"
Tsk!
The sound of breaking wind suddenly became louder, and Marco's body twisted for a while, and suddenly turned into a blue phoenix, waving its wings, and swooped towards Nuoxia at a speed that was too fast for the naked eye to catch!
"Did the speed also become faster..."
Nuo Xia narrowed his eyes and silently clenched the sword of Azakana with his right hand, "It seems more interesting."
Buzz!
The wind sword was unsheathed and struck at Azakana, who was already without a sheath. The two figures were intersecting each other rapidly. In just a few breaths, they had already fought for dozens of rounds.
In this fierce conflict, Nuo Xia gradually realized the abnormality of the Phoenix's ability. Although the sword energy he slashed could cut through the opponent's defense, it could even directly penetrate the Phoenix's body.
However, due to the Phoenix's self-healing ability, it barely left much substantial damage and was quickly recovered by the opponent.
"It's such a difficult ability, and your mastery of the Phoenix Fruit seems to be much more proficient than the Diamond Fruit..."
After hundreds of rounds of fighting, Nuoxia's offensive did not achieve much results, but he was still not impatient. Instead, he smiled leisurely at Marco when he had time to get close to each other:
"But who can afford to delay it better? It seems you have noticed it, right?"
"..."
Marco, who was opposite him, did not answer when he heard this. The proud look on his face had disappeared, and now his face was gloomy as if it was about to drip.
Just like Nosha said.
Although relying on the self-regeneration ability of the phoenix allows him to remain immortal for a long period of time, in most battles, this alone can defeat opponents of comparable strength.
But now that he has fought against Nuo Xia, he has found to his disbelief that he is still at a disadvantage when it comes to self-repair!
Yes, disadvantage!
Whether it was the faint blue cold flames or the direct collision of flesh, almost no decent scars were left on Nuo Xia's body.
Even if the offensive was occasionally successful, the opponent's body showed a recovery ability that frightened him, even compared to the ability of the Phoenix Fruit he copied!
What's more important is.
After the fierce battle until now, his physical strength has shown a faint trend of decline, and his speed and strength have been slightly weakened.
On the other hand, the navy brat on the other side still looked that cool and calm, as if he could continue to fight him with this intensity for three days and three nights without sleep!
Where did the monster come from!
"No...we can't let this go on any longer!"
"Marco" had to admit that he had far underestimated his opponent before and continued to fight in this state. In the end, he couldn't hold on anymore. The one who lost must be himself!
“It’s time to go all out!”
With this thought in his mind, the phoenix's wings suddenly flapped to avoid Nuo Xia's oncoming sword energy, then pulled away and flew straight to an altitude of hundreds of meters before hovering and stopping.
"Um?"
Nuo Xia, who noticed this movement, looked up and said, "You know you can't hold on anymore, so you have to switch forms again. Just now it was the power type, and now it's the air type... Why are you acting like Tiga?"
What should be next?
Compound?
Buzz!
Just as his thoughts were wandering, the light and shadow in the sky changed and distorted. The Phoenix had completed the change of appearance in an instant. Its wings were folded and eliminated, but its height suddenly lengthened, and then lengthened again...
"Hey hey hey, can't you?"
Looking at the increasingly familiar figure, Nuo Xia couldn't help but be surprised, "Isn't it too exaggerated? Can I still turn into that man..."
It’s not a composite type, it’s the ancient dark Tiga, the strongest Tiga in the old era!
boom!
The huge figure fell to the ground, causing the surrounding vegetation to sway and dust to fly.
And when the dust and smoke dissipated, a burly white-bearded man wearing a white cloak and holding the supreme sharp knife "Cong Yunqi" stepped out step by step with dull steps, commanding and full of pressure.
"White beard?!"
"It's the strongest man in the world, Whitebeard!"
"How on earth did that guy do it?"
The moment this figure appeared, every corner of the battlefield was plunged into an uproar.
After all, this is the Grand Line. No matter how little information is available, no matter how uninformed people are, it is impossible not to recognize that majestic figure, and it is impossible not to have heard of the name Whitebeard!
“Gula la la la la!”
Whitebeard's eyes narrowed and he looked down at the motionless Nuo Xia, who seemed to be also stunned. He couldn't help laughing loudly: "How about it, kid! This is the strongest form I can transform into!
"
"So now, do you still have the guts to become my enemy?"
The moment he finished speaking, Whitebeard roared angrily, and suddenly opened the five fingers of his left hand. A milky white halo surrounded his left fist, and he smashed it towards Nuo Xia not far below!
Click! Click!
At this moment, cracks appeared in the surrounding atmosphere, like a broken mirror, and spread rapidly in all directions like a spider web.
Following these spreading cracks, a shocking force of shock finally broke out completely!
Boom!
Wherever it swept, just the aftermath of the invasion caused the earth to crack like a tortoise shell, trees were uprooted, and even the moat under the city wall lost the restraint of gravity and rolled up to the sky like a horse!
The concussive power of the Shock Fruit, at this moment, turned most of the battlefield into a scene that could only be seen in a doomsday disaster!
"The momentum is enough, and it finally looks like something."
Looking at the oscillating ripples that were getting closer and closer, Nuo Xia grinned, and his eyes finally began to flash with fierce fighting spirit, "But a fake is a fake, and it will never be as good as the genuine product!"
Buzz!
The two swords intertwined, and along with the whistling wind and sword intent, a terrifying hurricane instantly formed, surging toward the shock ripples in a mighty manner!
Iai · Mistaken jade cut!
Under the horrified gazes of countless people, the ground between the battlefields was twisted and turned back and forth like plasticine under the ravages of the concussive force and terrifying hurricanes.
The terrifying aftermath that spread suddenly rushed to a place hundreds of meters away at an extremely terrifying speed in just an instant!
"Go back, go back!"
"Damn it, get out now!"
The moment the aftermath rippled out, all the rebels and pirates on the nearby battlefield turned around and ran away without hesitation, scrambling for safety, as if they wished their parents had lost two legs.
On the other hand, the navy and escorts are far away. They only need to step back a little distance to stop, hide behind the city wall, and witness such a shocking scene with their own eyes.
"Is this the ability to shake fruits?"
Someone's throat rolled and they murmured in a low voice.
"The destructive power is really amazing."
"Even the ability of Whitebeard can be copied..."
Instructor Vivian couldn't help but look worried. She looked at the shattered center of the shock and felt her heart tightening, "With this kind of ability, can Nuo Xia still win?"
