Chapter 848: Chapter 520: Chaotic Battle (Part 2)
Amidst the smoke and dust from the bombing, Barrett fell straight down like a rag, crashing into the ground and creating a deep pit, gasping for air.
His entire body was covered in blood at this moment.
"Heh heh heh heh... My transcendence is to crush."
Sage spread his arms wide, standing with his front and rear feet in a straight line, chuckling softly, "You, such a guy, are not worthy of being my opponent."
The intensity is enough.
Regardless of the intensity of Haki or the strength of the physique, not mentioning that ridiculously stupid combined transformation, purely on a singular aspect, it’s relatively strong and does have the qualification to make Sage serious.
But it’s only until here.
In terms of Haki, actually, Sage wasn’t as profound as Barrett, but he excelled in maximizing every strike, while the latter couldn’t achieve this. To defend against his attacks, his Observation wasn’t profound enough and could only provide even protection, but facing Sage’s ’point-breaking’ technique, he couldn’t hold on for long.
And most importantly... is the difference in body techniques.
"Pathetic, what do you know?"
Sage looked at the panting Barrett in the pit, chuckling, "Nothing more than strength, speed, reaction time, how could you compare with someone like me who’s at the pinnacle?"
"Haki, physique, body techniques... heart, body, and skill, only in Haki could you surpass me, but since it can be broken, there’s not much difference, naturally to be crushed by me."
In physique, Sage was stronger than Barrett, and in body techniques, it was at a crushing level.
Haki could be broken; the difference in body techniques couldn’t be surpassed by Barrett no matter how hard he tried, easily found by Sage.
It’s not that the basic strength, speed, and reflexes weren’t good, but he himself hadn’t reached a path of a unique personal style.
At this level, he was far off compared to Kaido.
Someone else truly wielded a club, forcibly leaving seven scars on Sage’s body.
For Sage, balance is a form of transcendence, let alone this guy wasn’t even as good as him in the first place.
The continuous kicks just now broke his Haki, and once hit purely physically by him, even Big Mom couldn’t handle it, let alone a pirate who hadn’t even reached the level of the Four Emperors.
On par with Rayleigh?
Why not say on par with old Shanks...
"World’s strongest?"
Sage moved towards Barrett, "Bullying some rookies, that’s only like kicking kindergarteners, right? Hmm, feels like there’s someone punching old folks at nursing homes, still a Navy, forget it, doesn’t matter now..."
Zizz.
The black and red lightning on his fist grew fiercer, "Don’t delay me from starting the martial arts tournament!"
Whoosh!
Just when his fist was about to strike down, a sharp breaking the sky sound inexplicably resonated beside his ear. Sage didn’t even look, instinctively moving his body, punching to the side.
Clang!!
A crisp sound rang out on the face of his fist, and a cane-sword appeared in front of his fist.
In front of him was an old blind man wearing a purple kimono and a Navy cape.
Navy Admiral, Fujitora!
Sage looked behind Fujitora, his gaze reaching the sea outside the island. At this time, at least thirty warships formed a massive fleet approaching the island.
"It’s the Navy!!"
The appearance of the Navy made the already chaotic pirates, due to Sage and Barrett’s battle, even more panicked, and they were all about to flee to their ships.
Sching!!
On one side of the island, a sudden flash of lightning traced a line of lightning in front of the fleeing pirates. The pirates in front who touched the lightning spurted blood and fell down.
Lily appeared at the forefront, pointing to the trench on the ground that appeared beneath her feet, saying, "Cross this line, and you’ll all die."
On the other side, a giant shadow suddenly appeared above the pirates gathered together trying to escape. The shadow leaped over their heads and landed in front with a loud boom, stirring up a cloud of dust, causing some pirates to stumble to the ground.
It was a giant rock like a mountain!
A corner of the island that had fallen earlier was unknowingly thrown over!
"Ah-la, that won’t do."
Marika walked out from the top of the giant rock, smiling as she looked down at the pirates below, "I still need you to stay for a while."
Bang bang bang!!
On the third side, a multitude of stray beams bombarded the pirates approaching the shore, blowing up a third of them, causing the rest of the pirates to stop in their tracks.
"Hahaha! You are not allowed to leave!"
Renedia floated with something like an exoskeleton all over her body, pointing her little tiger teeth at the pirates, "Sage hasn’t let you go yet, so you have to stay!"
"Eh? Am I included too!"
Among this group of pirates, Buggy, who had just been rescued by Mr. 3, was also present.
"You can’t either, Red-Nose!"
Renedia rolled her eyes, "No one is allowed to leave now!"
Without needing commands, concerning Sage’s plan, the moment the pirates tried to escape, the three of them acted together. Although they only blocked a small part, while more pirates were escaping, but...
Boom!
A cannonball blasted from the other side of the island, blowing up a group of pirates.
On the side of the island where the Navy fleet appeared, a Black Ship-led fleet also appeared at Delta Island.
Rumble!
With the cannonball bombardment, a figure followed the descent of the shell and crashed down, blasting a wave of air.
"No one’s allowed to leave!"
Weevil raised the Murakumogiri with both hands and unleashed an extremely powerful impact, dispersing the surrounding pirates.
