Outside the palace, a golden half-moon-shaped slash cut through the sea.
"Shishiwei·Gosho Scroll!"
Shiji held it with one hand, and the seawater he cut turned into several water lion heads, which gathered around him and threw them at Esdeath.
"freeze!"
Esdeath, who was standing on the ice floe, did not hesitate. He clenched his fists just before the water lion's head arrived, and a white light flashed. The lion's head froze instantly, lost its buoyancy, and crashed to the ground.
Devil Fruit represents the possibility of "human evolution" that people are pursuing, and possesses power beyond miracles. People with extremely abnormal fruit abilities may be dragged into the water even by the Four Emperors.
The two people above the central island are both fruit ability users, and they are superhumans with the most bizarre abilities.
In the battle between ability and ability, there is really no winner in a short period of time.
Esdeath completely froze the ground, making Shiki unable to activate the ground scroll, and all the water lion attacks she controlled were frozen and resolved. Esdeath also had difficulty attacking Shiki, who was moving freely in the air.
The two unexpectedly reached a deadlock.
Seeing this, Shiki simply stopped his attack, hooked his fingers, and a cigar floated over. He bit the cigar and started smoking it casually in the air.
"what do you mean?"
Seeing Shiji stop, Esdeath said in surprise.
"Jie hahahaha, of course I'm waiting for your ability to expire." Shi Ji said with a smile, "It takes a lot of energy to keep an island frozen for a long time."
"Huh?" Esdeath raised an eyebrow but did not reply.
"I was right." Shi Ji grinned, "You have been fighting with me for so long and you haven't transformed into an element. It means you are not a natural-type fruit-powered user. You should be some kind of superhuman type who can control ice."
"Among the three types of devil fruits, only the natural type can change the terrain and climate for a long time, and your freezing cannot last too long."
"So you don't need to do anything now, just postpone it until your energy is exhausted."
Esdeath was silent for a moment, then smiled.
"You're right, I can't stay frozen for too long, but you said it yourself, my ability can freely control ice."
"Oh? So what?" Shiji bit his cigar with an arrogant expression on his face, "Since we started fighting, has your ice ever hurt me at all?"
"Old man, don't forget, ice is everywhere here."
Esdeath suddenly raised his head, his eyes glowing red, and he opened his hand to hold it.
"Shishiwei·Icejuan Canyun!"
boom!!!
The ice on the entire island rolled upwards, cracking and roaring between the ice and the ice, like a roaring lion, breaking and recasting between the ice and the ice, just like an awakening lion raising its head.
Shi Ji's pupils shrank. Around him, lion-like icebergs that covered the sky pressed over his head, and a huge shadow enveloped him.
"Jie hahahaha, did you steal my moves? You kid." Shi Ji smiled evilly.
"You should feel honored, old man." Esdeath raised her head and raised the corners of her mouth.
"Arrogant!" Shi Ji grinned, his hair flying in the air.
"You are indeed qualified to be arrogant if you can learn the moves of the Golden Lion, but you are not qualified yet!"
Shi Ji raised his hand and made a move, and the "Ying Ju" floating in the air flew back to his hand.
"Chop!"
A domineering golden slash came out with the sword, and began to explode after contacting the lion's head, blowing the lion's head into pieces and exposing a large number of gaps.
But soon, the gap was filled.
The ice created by Esdeath should not be too much. On this island, it is basically infinite. No matter how strong Shiji's slashes are, it will be impossible to break it.
"Roar!!!"
Esdeath's eyes narrowed, and the iceberg roared like a beast, and several ice lion heads appeared on the iceberg, roaring towards Shiji.
"Lion·Senkiriya!"
Shiji waved his sword continuously, and countless slashes spread out, attacking the other lion heads, but the speed of the slashes was far less than the speed of movement on the ice. Esdeath's face was ferocious, and he closed his hands.
The icebergs gathered in and covered the sky.
"This kind of move is useless to me!"
Shi Ji raised "Sakura Ju" and threw it forward fiercely. The long sword turned into a white light and instantly pierced the ice lion's head in front of him.
A large amount of ice chips exploded outward, and a huge hole appeared at the impact point of "Ying Ju".
Shi Ji raised his right hand high, and a small island was pulled over from the sky.
He grasped it hard and swung it downwards. The entire island quickly fell to the ground and turned into a fiery red star. It hit the iceberg and then swept across with his legs.
"Chop!"
boom!!!
The huge impact of the small island and the slashing with high-level weapons. Under the two blows, the entire iceberg continued to shake and collapsed.
"Shishiwei·Gosho Scroll!"
A large amount of sea water once again gathered into a lion's head, roaring at Esdeath.
Shiji looked at Esdeath and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The learning speed of the navy in front of him was somewhat beyond his expectation.
"So what if you learn my moves? I'm a golden lion!"
Shiji grinned, and the sea lion head attacked Esdeath.
"Kid, do you still have the strength now?"
Esdeath lowered her arms. The attack just now did consume a lot of her energy, but it was not without gain. The ice sword appeared out of thin air.
"Secret Sword·Breaking Water Flow!"
Blue light flashed, and the lion heads exploded and disintegrated in the air.
When Esdeath positioned himself to receive the next wave of attacks, Shiji's attack was delayed.
Following Shi Ji's gaze, the palace in the distance was filled with thick fog and a raging fire was burning.
………………
On the palace side, Annan had just stepped out of the burning palace gate. He raised his hand and waved, and the fire behind him became more intense.
It would be too troublesome to search for each pharmaceutical factory one by one. Listening to the commotion outside, the palace will definitely be affected in the end, so we will simply burn it down.
The palace was entirely made of wood, and with Annan's ability, it burned quickly.
When Annan looked up when he went out, he saw a small island crashing towards him.
"cut!"
A flash of white light flashed, and the island was cut into pieces.
"Oh, someone is angry?"
Annan sheathed Muramasa, looked at the golden and blue slashes crisscrossing the sky in the distance, and shook his head.
"I didn't expect that the golden lion would deal with me specifically after stabbing me in the nest. Now Esdeath may have found an opportunity."
Annan's eyes flashed red and he found a big rock and sat down.
In a battle of this magnitude, Annan would either not go to help, or even if he went, he wouldn't be able to help, and would just cause trouble.
Golden Lion is a legendary pirate who has fought countless battles over the decades. He is very experienced. He has no problem at all in taking on Annan and Esdeath alone, and is even very good at it. However, Annan and Esdeath are not.
Very easy to deal with.
When a strong person competes with others, it is like doing a math problem. One wrong step leads to another wrong step. Any negligence will have irreparable consequences.
One more person, one more flaw.
Just like just now, the Golden Lion only focused on Annan for a while, and then Esdeath caught the flaw.
"I'd better skim here." As he said that, Annan slowly took out a cigar from his arms.
Snap.
While taking out the cigar, I accidentally dropped the phone bug on the ground. The phone bug rolled around on the ground several times and the lid fell off.
Annan stood up, walked to the phone bug and bent down to pick it up. Looking at the phone bug with its eyes open, an idea flashed in his mind.
"Due to the aftermath of the battle between Esdeath and Shiji, the height of the floating island has dropped a lot, and the phone bug seems to have a signal!"
