Chapter 859: Chapter 525: Live ‘Teaching’_2
Black light flickered, slowly extinguishing, revealing Mihawk in his sword-wielding stance. At this moment, his upper body clothing was blasted to shreds, with bits of fabric floating to the ground, exposing his muscular upper body filled with wounds.
This attack landed solidly; even with timely defense, he couldn’t block it all—the vast shock wave struck his body.
He took a few breaths, looking at Sage opposite him.
Sage maintained his punching stance, remnants of Haki still lingering on his fist; he glanced at the cut appearing on the seven scars stretching from his chest to his abdomen, grimly grinning:
"Still not enough!!"
The blade split by that sword was quickly mending, enveloped in white steam.
This strike doesn’t even have the right to leave a scar.
"Slave Arrow!"
No sooner had his words faded, a multitude of pink arrows appeared in the air. Without waiting for Sage to react, Boa Hancock rushed in from the side; as she neared Sage, she suddenly flipped forward, her long legs spinning like a propeller. With a push from her hands on the ground, she gained momentum, attacking Sage alongside the pink arrows in the sky.
If the ability causing disturbance is ineffective, then straightforwardly use the power to petrify all things!
Based on previous reactions, her ability is effective if directly hit. Next... it’s a contest of differences in body techniques and the depth of Haki!
Even if Sage currently proves his terrifying prowess through martial courage, it is no reason to retreat. If one dares not attack, then she’d be unworthy of being the Pirate Empress!
This title isn’t self-proclaimed; it’s earned through battles!
She won’t allow anyone to underestimate her!
The Four Emperors... likewise!!
"Very good!"
Sage glanced at the descending arrows above, appreciating: "I acknowledge you! As a woman, you have the qualification for me to regard you as I do Big Mom! But I shall teach you; when facing someone stronger in both body techniques and Haki, having a brave heart is certainly good, but one also needs to recognize the disparity!"
Whirr!
A whirlwind spun around him, not the wind from his cape, but a whirlwind created as Sage whipped a leg, spinning fiercely on the spot, instantly dispelling the Slave Arrows that had become physical attacks.
"Hundred Violent Swirling!!"
"Great Perfume Femur!"
The whirlwind expanded into a hurricane, instantly engulfing Boa Hancock. With a boom, as the hurricane dispelled, Sage’s leg intersected with Hancock’s leg, sending out a shockwave.
In just a moment, the area Sage’s leg touched on Hancock’s legs was coated with a layer of stone.
It’s not disturbance; it’s pure petrification...
This woman uses her ability extremely well!
"Hohohoho! Still not enough!!"
Sage laughed wildly, a jolt from his leg shaking off the stone debris, the overwhelming force pressing down on Hancock’s legs, lifting them straight up to rest on her own fragrant shoulders.
Bang!
With a mighty push from Sage’s foot, he kicked Hancock into the air. Just at that moment, he leapt skyward, smoke rings dissipating, using Moon Step to ascend rapidly, his legs spinning violently once again.
"It’s not over yet!"
The hurricane stirred again, drawing near Hancock midair. As the hurricane broke open, Sage spun nearer, the heel of his foot fiercely kicking her face.
"Take another Hundred Violent Swirling!!!"
Sage laughed heartily, twisting his waist, sending Hancock like a cannonball, crashing into the ground with a colossal crater.
Thud!
After kicking her, he resumed the Moon Step, suddenly diving toward the still-adjusting Lucci.
"Tsk!"
Thanks to the awakened Zoan-type ability, his recovery power was good; although Sage’s blows almost shattered his consciousness, he somehow held on. Just as he got steady, the terrifying figure descended from the sky.
"Roku..."
Bang!
His claws shrouded in shadowy Haki, poised to forcibly attack, Sage’s foot pressed down upon the top of Lucci’s head, making Lucci roll his eyes, one leg half-buried into the ground.
"Six Styles isn’t used like this—the basics are insufficient, flourishes in technique are useless. Lucci, let me teach you what truly is..."
Sage spun mid-air over Lucci’s head, grabbing his head as he passed, pulling him from the ground and hurling him toward Smoker.
Smoker’s eyes widened in shock; instinctively he elementalized into smoke, allowing Lucci to burst through the smoke. Just before the plume, inexplicably a figure appeared.
Sage’s hands moved fluidly, closing together, smashing toward the smoke.
"Rokugan!!"
Bang!!
Within the smoke, Smoker’s figure emerged, his body unwinding, arms and legs stretched forward; that closed-handed attack brutally pressing against his abdomen.
With just a single blow, Smoker flew afar, eyes rolling white, crashing onto the ground smashing a deep indentation.
"This is Six Styles, Lucci! Sharpen your physique well; human power is boundless!" Sage laughed.
There wasn’t an overflow of Haki’s impact, merely the most simplistic, hardened fists covered in Haki. Yet under the ’touch’ of Logia-type Haki, the Six Styles consolidated impact, coupled with Sage’s own technique and strength, the resultant power is extremely terrifying as well.
