Chapter 846: Chapter 519: Tearing Apart a Gundam by Hand_2
Under the joint attack, a massive shockwave spread out, not only shaking this shattered island but also violently trembling the surrounding Delta Main Island, especially cracking open near the center.
And the sky, at this moment, turned gloomy as if it were torn, rolling inward from the rift at the center.
Supreme King’s Clash!
Sage retreated several steps, while Barrett let out a muffled grunt, flying backward.
However, not long after, his body straightened, and he landed heavily on the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, the ferocity on his face undiminished, "That thing... is One Piece!"
"So what?"
Sage glanced at the glass shards on the ground, sneering, "You don’t care, should I care? Going to Laugh Tale makes you the Pirate King? Times have changed; only someone like me is qualified to be the Pirate King!"
It was obvious that inside was an Eternal Pose. Since it’s One Piece, it must be the Eternal Pose for Laugh Tale.
This guy can casually throw the pose aside to attack him, can he still be underestimated?
If he were to be punched for this thing inexplicably, he couldn’t bear the shame.
Besides, the Pirate King... is not that kind of thing!
Sage’s attitude has always been simple; to become the largest ruler, as long as he commands the sea and rules all pirates, who dares to say he’s not the Pirate King?
What Laugh Tale has, he isn’t very interested in. It’s best if he can find it, but if not, he won’t treat it as a target.
Before Roger reached Laugh Tale, there were still pirates at sea, and everyone’s goal was different.
He believes more in what he sees with his own eyes than in a legendary treasure that others talk about.
"My pirate level is different from others." Sage slowly said.
"Heheheheh. Are all Pirate Emperors such creatures? Good, very good!"
Barrett chuckled lowly, "I’ve heard your name, Sage. You’re different from those guys with trash bonds, but... you’re also keen on collecting trash companions. Too many weaklings as companions will only lower your strength. Only individual strength is the ultimate strength."
"Saying so much crap is useless. In my eyes, you aren’t strong either. Moreover, I have requisitioned this stage, and you’ve caused destruction, so I’m very displeased. And importantly, you’ve disrupted the rare highlight of my life..."
Tch!
White steam spewed like vapor from Sage’s nose, swirling around him to form a white cocoon-like thing.
Whoosh!
The white cocoon quickly shattered, revealing Sage’s head first, with white hair fluttering and burning like flames. The cocoon continued to fall apart, exposing his entire body, three black battle patterns extending down from the cheek. His shirt was torn apart, with black and red armor formed by Haki coiled around his back and abdomen, as if covered with a layer of fur.
Moreover, a circle of white flame clouds coiled around his shoulders.
"Full Form·Forty Times!"
Sage twisted his neck, directly staring at Barrett, speaking the words left unsaid earlier, "I’m going to kill you!!"
Under normal circumstances, he might have enjoyed toying with such a guy for a while, warming up. But with the fish gone... he had lost even that interest!
Barrett didn’t seem like a warm-up opponent; better to start with a big bang!
Kill first, talk later!
Meanwhile, at a slightly distant position, Lucci was watching the central battlefield through a telescope. He silently put down the telescope, picked up a small Radio Snail, and said, "Mission failed, Sage destroyed Laugh Tale’s Eternal Pose."
The Radio Snail emitted a deep voice, "Destroyed? That’s fine; since no one can get it, making it disappear is a good idea too."
"What now, retreat?" Lucci asked.
"No, we can’t let him grow any further. Since he wants to recruit, stop him. Let the Seven Warlords of the Sea respond to this call and stop him. Don’t let Sage continue to grow; with his current power, let him challenge Kaido."
Click.
The call ended, and Lucci put away the small Radio Snail, looking to the other side, "That’s it."
Standing next to him was Lily.
"Oh? Not giving up and planning to stop Sage?"
Lily thought for a moment, loosened her grip on her sword hilt, and said, "Forget it, let Sage vent a bit on things like this. His mood may not be very good this time."
Double agents in O’hara are no secret, however many there are secretly, openly everyone is aware, unless Sage doesn’t want people to know, he never conceals it.
This sudden idea of recruiting is open, with some being personally handled by Kalifa, so it’s only natural for the information to reach CP0.
Lily understood this, secretly infiltrating here, and knows Lucci also wanted to seek it out, having confirmed the Eternal Pose for Laugh Tale was here. However, she seemed to be a bit late; the Eternal Pose had already been destroyed.
"He’s in a bad mood?"
Lucci blinked, "Did someone attack O’hara and steal the treasures?"
"No."
Lily shook her head, gazing towards the battlefield, and slowly said, "He caught a fish with great difficulty... it’s gone."
Lucci: "..."
Fish?
Can’t that be casually caught?
If not now, just catch it next time. Why bother feeling bad about...
"Thirty warships... Hawkeye and the Empress of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, led by Fujitora, all good people. Well, it meets Sage’s wishes, just as a warm-up."
Lucci knew the Disaster Pirates’ information, and likewise, he would convey the World Government’s information to the Disaster Pirates.
When encountered, Lily already knew.
Even with this strong lineup, used to temper Sage, it would probably suit his intentions as well.
The two, after long companionship, had developed a deep understanding; with just a glance from Sage, Lily knew what he wanted to do. Before confronting Kaido, Sage was already preparing, gradually reaching his peak; now, through battle, he could reach the summit!
...
"Truly strong, full release of ability and Haki! No, there seems to be something different, but not only you are an Ability User!"
Barrett revealed a sinister smile, stomping heavily on the ground with a thud. As the ground cracked again, the land beneath sunk, simultaneously a machine like a combination of a helicopter and a submarine emerged from the seawater, carrying him into Sage’s vision.
"This is my ship, Ejection! It took two years and the finest materials on the sea to make, packed full of weapons inside..."
Barrett casually placed his hand on the top handrail, a mosaic-like matter spread from his hand, enveloping the entire ship, and his body.
"I ate the ’Clank-Clank Fruit,’ becoming a Fusion Person. I can merge with any object, let me show you, it’s not only you who can use abilities!"
The mosaic entirely wrapped and fused him, gradually unifying through wriggling, transforming into a robot with a metallic style.
Barrett’s voice echoed from within, now metallic in tone, bursting with a roar, "Let me show you, my..."
Before he could finish, Sage’s figure appeared in front of the robot, with crimson eyes and fists wrapped in black and red lightning, swiftly punching the robot’s surface.
Bam!
"Hundred Ghosts Assault Thunder!!"
With one punch, it was as if a switch was flipped. Sage’s fist turned into a series of afterimages, appearing like a chain of lightning under Conqueror’s Haki, striking it.
"Able user, huh!"
Bam bam bam!
"Robots, huh!"
Bam bam bam!
"Despise the weak, huh!"
Bam bam bam!
"Only the strong matter, huh!"
Bam bam bam!
"Bringing a big robot to fight me? Who do you think you are! Even if it’s Gundam, I can tear it apart barehandedly!!"
Boom!!
Under the barrage of strikes, even though the surface of the robot was covered in Haki, it still couldn’t withstand the punches from Sage. It shattered completely from the center, revealing Barrett lying inside.
His Haki quantity was sufficient, but trying to evenly cover a large surface naturally couldn’t compare to Sage’s full Haki on every punch.
As for the fusion steel...
In the face of Sage, who could find its weak spot, it was utterly useless!
With his current battle strength, even if he encountered a real Gundam without Haki, he could tear it apart with his hands!
