Chapter 854: Chapter 523: The Most Overbearing Body Techniques
Seeing Buggy appear, Sage sneered: "Buggy, you’re joining too, huh? Good, as a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, I permit you to participate! Just don’t die on me!"
Buggy, just lifting his head, heard this and his mouth opened, "I’m not, I didn’t... Ah!!"
Boom!!
His last sound was accompanied by a huge bang, blasting out together with a shock wave.
After surrounding Sage, Barrett was the first to strike, diving forward with a blue aura bursting from his body, enveloping him like a demon.
Sage laughed loudly, also sending a punch to collide, the clash of fists aroused a powerful air wave, forming a shock wave at the center of the ground, shaking debris and dust.
"Sandstorm!"
At the moment of impact dispersing, a swirl of sand quickly engulfed the area around Sage, quickly rising into a sand tornado.
"Aperture Star! Five-Finger Split Bomb!"
After briefly clashing with Barrett, Sage’s arm coiled like a snake over Barrett’s fist, transforming the punch into fingers that quickly tapped across Barrett’s arm, before flipping upward, making his steel-like arm seem to soften, easily deflecting upward.
Bam!
After creating an opening, Sage whipped a leg into Barrett’s waist, launching him out of the sand in a mighty kick. After sending him flying, Sage spun swiftly, dodging an attack coalescing from the sand behind him.
"Crescent-shaped sand dune!"
Crocodile emerged from behind Sage, wielding a crescent-shaped sand blade, missing with a swing before his body flickered away. Just as he was about to turn into sand again, Sage raised his fists, emanating an indescribable aura aimed directly at him.
It seemed like a fight to the death!
"This guy!"
Crocodile’s pupils constricted, a sense of crisis surged to his mind, too startled to activate elementalization. Instinctively, he held his stance, ready to defend forcefully with Haki.
He’s going for the kill?!
"Caught!"
Bam!
Sage swiftly flashed in front of Crocodile, delivering a powerful uppercut straight to the abdomen, embedding into his gut, curling Crocodile up with the punch. Sage thrust his arm forward, tossing Crocodile right out from the sandstorm.
Boom!
The sandstorm at the center erupted into a shock wave as Crocodile soared out, completely vanquishing the swirling sands.
Sage maintained his fist-throwing stance, and sneered: "Aura can also be fake!"
North Star Saint Extreme Wheel!
Creating the signal of a death match through aura, forcing opponents to change their tactic and thus create a flaw.
Most effective against those with strong Observation abilities.
"White Smoke Bomb!"
As the sand dispersed, smoke immediately surrounded, Smoker with his legs transforming into smoke, levitated in mid-air, arms coiling with smoke, launched numerous smoke bombs, enveloping around Sage.
The densest smoke directly covered Sage’s head.
The new method of using smoke had been employed back at Punk Hazard; if not for the ’Blast Hammer’ to block, he might even have used this to entangle Weevil, one of the Three Phases.
The wonders of abilities don’t solely lie in raw power.
Through his Observation ability, constantly tracking Sage’s movements to suffocate him continuously.
No matter how strong, everyone needs to breathe!
Even Fishmen do!
"Fire Fist!!"
As smoke enveloped, a burst of flame shot up, transforming into Sabo’s upper body, forming a thick column with the fiery fist, pierced into the smoke.
"And mine too, White Mist Bomb!"
Smoker freed up an arm, also launching a column of smoke, intertwining with the fire column, enhancing the propulsion with smoke, the fire growing stronger. Under the coiling, it was like a red and white entangled fire dragon, roaring forward.
"This kind of thing..."
"Hell Trip!"
Sage glanced at the red and white pillar in the sky with a disdainful smile, just as Fujitora suddenly took action, leaping in midair and slashing down, the gravity presented vertically exerting on Sage, causing him a momentary delay.
And during this delay, the attack from above arrived, exploding into a fiery air wave, burning the surroundings instantly.
"Got him!" Sabo tightened his fist and smiled.
"Is it?"
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a fierce wind blew open the flames, revealing sharp wind blades cutting towards all directions. Fujitora quickly swung his blade, his gravity crushing the approaching wind blades, but the remaining two clearly couldn’t react in time.
The wind blades struck through, cutting Sabo and Smoker’s bodies, one transforming into flame, the other exploding into smoke.
The gust blew out the flames lit around, the rising smoke almost becoming a black haze encircling Sage.
"Tenha Kassatsu..."
In the black haze, Sage’s confident voice echoed, seemingly unaffected by the attack at all.
"Meteor Shower!"
Bang bang bang!
The sound of air being struck dispersed the black haze, unleashing densely packed Haki Bullets like a meteor shower, widely striking into the flame and smoke, as the elements blew away, they also made muffled sounds, hitting the entity within, exploding in the sky.
From within the fire and smoke, Sabo and Smoker dashed backward, each sporting several dents on their chests and bodies, oozing fresh blood.
