Chapter 93: The sea divided in two! (First update)

Lafitte suddenly appeared above Nami,

and stabbed straight at Nami's brow with his sword!

Nami's eyes widened,

filled with fear and despair in the face of death!

Although she wanted to dodge the sword,

at such close range,

her body couldn't react in time,

and she could only watch as the cold sword tip got closer and closer!

Just as the sword was about to hit Nami's brow,

and kill her in one blow,

the cold sword tip suddenly stopped!

Just a few centimeters from Nami's brow,

it stopped abruptly,

unable to move an inch further!

Meanwhile,

a man's voice sounded from behind Lafitte.

"Do you want to die?"

Hearing this familiar voice,

Nami snapped back to reality,

and looked up behind Lafitte!

Li Xiao was floating in mid-air, spiritual power surging around him,

and one hand was firmly gripping Lafitte's wings!

At this time,

Lafitte was terrified,

frantically flapping his wings behind him,

struggling desperately,

yet he was still firmly held by Li Xiao's one hand,

completely unable to move!

"Just because you grew a pair of wings, you really think you're a bird-man?"

Having said that,

Li Xiao's right hand suddenly exerted force,

grabbed Lafitte's wings and threw him behind him,

straight toward Blackbeard, who was fighting Luffy!

Seeing this,

Blackbeard immediately kicked Luffy away,

then jumped backward,

dodging the flying Lafitte,

without any intention of catching his crew member!

With a loud bang,

a deep pit was smashed into the ground!

Lafitte landed face-first,

and under the huge impact,

his entire head was smashed into the ground,

leaving only his body on the ground!

At this time,

Lafitte looked very disheveled!

The slender sword hidden in his cane had been thrown somewhere,

and his black top hat had been smashed through,

leaving only the brim around his neck!

And with Li Xiao's forceful throw,

the feathers on Lafitte's wings were torn off,

leaving a bald patch on his snow-white wings,

which looked extremely abrupt!

This Lafitte, who had easily forced Nami and Chopper into a desperate situation,

was just a casual throw for Li Xiao!

However,

Li Xiao's throw was just a casual one,

and the lethality wasn't as great as imagined!

Plus, Lafitte, as a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user,

was indeed tough!

Even though his whole head was smashed into the dirt,

he didn't pass out,

and was currently using his hands and feet to support himself on the ground,

struggling to pull his head out!

But it was stuck tight,

and no matter how hard he pulled, it was useless!

Regarding this,

Blackbeard just glanced at him,

and then shifted his gaze to Li Xiao, who was floating in the air not far away!

After being stunned for a few seconds,

Then, he shifted his gaze toward Li Xiao, who was hovering in the air not far away!

After being stunned for a few seconds,

Blackbeard recognized Li Xiao's identity,

and immediately laughed loudly:

"Hahahaha! I really didn't expect to meet you here! The Cultivator with a 3.5 billion Berry bounty—Li Xiao!"

Although he was laughing,

Blackbeard's eyes were filled with wariness as he looked at Li Xiao!

Since Luffy set sail,

his bounty had soared,

increasing by 100 million Berries in just a few months,

making a name for himself!

However,

compared to Li Xiao,

that was truly small potatoes!

Li Xiao's bounty was a full 3.5 billion Berries,

and more importantly,

this was his first bounty!

To have a full 3.5 billion Berries on his first bounty,

throughout the entire sea,

could be said to be unprecedented!

Such an outrageous bounty,

while certainly partly due to the consecutive killing of two Celestial Dragons,

his strength was also absolutely not to be underestimated!

Although this person hadn't left many footprints on the sea,

and almost no battle records could be found,

just based on the fact that he fought alone against two Admirals, Kizaru and Akainu, on Sabaody Archipelago

and escaped unscathed,

even if his strength wasn't at the Emperor level,

it definitely wasn't far off!

Facing such a powerhouse,

even with the ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit he had now obtained,

Blackbeard didn't want to easily cross him!

Li Xiao glanced at Blackbeard indifferently,

and slowly spat out one word!

"Scram!"

Upon hearing this,

Blackbeard's expression became somewhat ugly,

but he still forced a smile,

and said:

"Hahahaha! You're really arrogant!"

"If I just leave like this, I, Blackbeard, will look very bad!"

"How about this, I only want the Straw Hat kid!"

"You hand the Straw Hat kid over to me, and as for the others, including the woman behind you, I won't touch them at all, how about that?"

As soon as Blackbeard finished speaking,

Li Xiao had already raised his hand and slashed over with a sword!

"Mountain and Sea Sword Art!"

He saw a phantom of mountains and seas instantly appear in the void,

becoming increasingly solid,

and accompanied by a huge cyan sword energy,

it slashed straight toward Blackbeard with the force to collapse mountains and sever seas!

Seeing this,

Blackbeard's expression changed drastically!

As a Dark-Dark Fruit user,

although he couldn't elementalize,

he could absorb the attacks of other fruit users!

But in fact,

not only the attacks of other fruit users,

he could absorb almost all attacks,

he just had to endure double the pain!

However,

the Dark-Dark Fruit's absorption of attacks had a limit!

Such a large-scale, powerful long-range sword energy slashed out by Li Xiao in front of him

had far exceeded the limit of what he could absorb!

Blackbeard immediately jumped up without hesitation,

his seemingly bloated body was exceptionally agile,

instantly covering a distance of over a hundred meters,

dodging Li Xiao's sword!

The next second,

this sword slashed into the sea behind Blackbeard!

The calm sea instantly surged with turbulent waves,

and a deep trench appeared on the sea!

Surrounded by sword energy,

the seawater on both sides couldn't merge for a long time!

This sword,

seemed to have split the entire sea in two!
