Chapter 174: Destroying Heaven and Extinguishing Earth, Thunder Approaches

【You have withstood the impact of Conqueror's Haki, a check is currently in progress, you have passed this check】

……

Check messages, appearing like a scrolling screen, kept popping up before Bai Cangshu's eyes.

Donquixote Doflamingo's Conqueror's Haki swept across a terrifying space of over twenty nautical miles in radius; everyone within this surging tide turned pale.

These Navy, Pirates, and ordinary people in the first half of the Grand Line simply could not withstand such a terrifying impact, fainting one after another.

On the warship that Bai Cangshu had seized, only Colonel Brina, who was trembling all over, and Bai Cangshu remained conscious at this moment.

In the sky, Enel, his body wreathed in lightning, held his hands in front of him; he felt, for the first time, a terrifying, heart-trembling sense of impact.

It was as if a terrifying beast was constantly roaring within his Spirit world, wanting to swallow him whole with its fearsome will.

Enel also wore a grave expression; the scarlet Conqueror's Haki kept impacting before him, and he felt a series of stinging pains on his skin.

"What kind of power is this..."

"To think it could act upon the invincible me from a distance?"

Enel had never experienced Conqueror's Haki before; he had previously only known that in Qinghai, in the second half of the sea area known as the Grand Line, there existed many experts who used Armament Haki, people who could rely on Haki to negate a certain degree of Devil Fruit abilities and touch the bodies of Logia Ability Users.

But at this moment, this guy who dressed himself up so gaudily was actually attacking him from a distance?

Donquixote Doflamingo spread his hands, his ten fingers hooked as if twisted, invisible threads connecting to the clouds in the sky, anchoring himself in the air and avoiding the fate of falling into the sea.

His condition was not good at the moment; there were large patches of charred marks on his skin, his forehead was still bleeding, and even he himself could smell the burnt stench on his body.

"To think there is such a Devil Fruit ability..."

"It really is, even I am a bit envious, 【fufufufu】..."

He clutched his head, his body rising bit by bit along the invisible threads, and soon he reached a position level with Enel; Donquixote Doflamingo had a tall build, standing over three meters, but he was accustomed to hunching his frame slightly, radiating a terrifying sense of oppression forward.

Enel saw Donquixote Doflamingo level with him, his expression quickly turning gloomy; he spoke, and muffled thunder rumbled in the sky instantly.

"Who gave you permission to look at a god?!"

The next moment, tiny electric sparks lit up around Enel, and Donquixote Doflamingo's figure instantly drifted upward.

Crackle!

Centered on Enel, within a massive spherical space a hundred meters in diameter, lightning instantly exploded.

But Donquixote Doflamingo, relying on Observation Haki, dodged a step ahead of time.

Zzz~

Electric light flashed behind him; Enel, as if teleporting, quickly dissipated from his original spot and, in the form of an electric current, condensed behind Donquixote Doflamingo in an instant, his right hand raised and covering Donquixote Doflamingo.

Just a moment ago, Donquixote Doflamingo had been severely wounded by this very move.

"Liutianwanfute, Discharge."

Enel's eyelids drooped, and the terrifying electric current erupted once more.

Donquixote Doflamingo curled his lips, his body inverted, and a powerful burst of Conqueror's Haki erupted again.

Hum!

While Enel's mind suffered an impact, his discharge slowed for a split second; Donquixote Doflamingo raised his left hand, and countless threads erupted instantly.

Overheat Whip!

Pfft!

Enel's figure turned into ionized electricity, completely ignoring this strike capable of cleaving the earth; Donquixote Doflamingo, simultaneously using full-body Armament Haki, kicked toward his back in an instant.

Zzz~

The newly appeared Enel once again took the initiative to turn into electric light and flew upward.

Donquixote Doflamingo frowned; this guy was not the type of fool who relied entirely on passive elementalization...

It could be said that by now, he realized this guy who used the Rare lightning Logia fruit was a terrifying opponent; the other party knew how to actively elementalize to dodge Haki attacks, and furthermore...

Enel sat cross-legged a hundred meters away; he had regained his composure, feeling victory was within his grasp.

"And, my Heart Net is superior to your Observation Haki, yeah-hahaha!"

Enel threw his head back and laughed; under normal circumstances, Donquixote Doflamingo would only think the other party was like a fool, but at this moment, his expression turned gloomy.

Observation Haki capable of reading thoughts, combined with a Logia Devil Fruit that had mastered active elementalization, was already troublesome enough; what's more, the other party's fruit ability was likely second to none, even among Logia types.

Enel sat cross-legged in the air; this 【Seven Warlords of the Sea】, who was incomparably powerful in the eyes of the people of the lower world, was nothing more than this in his view.

He was instantly full of himself, feeling that these people of Qinghai simply had not seen his power; otherwise, how could there be so many voices of doubt.

What 【Four Emperors】, 【Three Admirals】, 【Seven Warlords of the Sea】...

He was a god!

Enel spread his hands, and a large amount of ionized electricity flickered in the air; Donquixote Doflamingo's expression changed instantly; he looked back and saw that even in the air over a dozen nautical miles away, blue-white particle light was flickering as well.

"Hey, hey..."

A drop of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and his heart contracted slightly; could it be that the other party's attack was going to cover such a range...

At the same time, Bai Cangshu on the warship also sensed that abnormal electric current again; his skin went numb, and the hairs on his body began to stand on end.

The dense electric current in the air not far away began to flicker.

Brina's heart sank violently; her face was as pale as paper, and like a tigress, she lunged toward the cockpit; at this moment, she could not even care about Bai Cangshu's threat or the pain in her body.

It was a pity that her 【Luck】 at this moment was extremely poor; she ran two steps, tripped again, and crashed directly into the cabin door.

Whoosh!

In Brina's moment of despair, Bai Cangshu, like a phantom, entered the cockpit in an instant; he looked at the Marines who had fallen in the cockpit, closed his eyes directly, and pulled with force; the ship's wheel instantly spun like a spinning top.

At a time like this, with his luck, no matter how he operated, it would be a good result!

Crackle~

First, a slight crackling sound rang out, the sky suddenly brightened, and only then did the earth-shattering boom explode.

"Ah!"

Amidst Brina's terrified screams, the area within a radius of several dozen nautical miles was completely transformed into an ocean of lightning in an instant.

Countless lightning bolts exploded, accompanied by electric light shooting in all directions, and ball lightning erupted continuously.

This was a terrifying move that completely annihilated the space of several dozen nautical miles.

On the sea, a terrifying white mist appeared in an instant, accompanied by a foul, scorched stench.

The ensuing gale pushed the warship instantly, forcing it away in a certain direction.

Bai Cangshu came out to the deck and saw that the sky seemed to have a lid on it; the air and seawater within several dozen nautical miles were electrolyzed, and the clouds in the surrounding sky completely dissipated, turning into pitch-black thunderclouds that gathered above that Thunder God.

And the famous "Flamingo," the "Heavenly Yaksha," fell from the sky, his entire body scorched black.

Brina was on the deck, trembling uncontrollably. She looked at the scorched and burning traces on the rear of the ship, as well as the few Marines who had been unlucky enough to stay at the back of the deck, now lying there as black as charcoal. That sense of powerlessness and fear shattered her psychological defenses.

Enel hadn't even attacked her; the mere aftermath of a single attack had almost turned her, an Elite of the Navy and a Branch Colonel, along with a ship full of Marine soldiers, into charcoal.

By now, there was no trace of the other seven ships on the sea; whether it was Major General Robert, famous for his combat power, or the G47 Branch vanguard, famous for their marksmanship, all had completely vanished from this world.

"Monster..."

She had long known the terror of those monsters on the sea, but this was the first time she had faced such cataclysmic, god-like power. Just this once, her mind and courage were completely destroyed.

"Ha~ haha... hahahaha."

Brina turned her head stiffly and saw the lean, black-haired man standing outside the cabin door, looking at the "spectacle" on the sea and laughing incessantly.

His eyes were fixed, as if he were completely captivated by Enel's individual god-like power.

But he felt no fear... only Greed Sin.

Bai Cangshu pressed his chest; the intensity of his heartbeat was something he could not suppress with his current half-baked ability to imitate Logic.

This was cataclysmic individual power; this was the world he wanted to see.

Great, wonderful, this is the future I want!

Bai Cangshu felt that his life of the past dozen years was as withered and boring as straw; only this kind of world, only this kind of life, only this kind of power...

... was what he craved!

Bai Cangshu's body swelled slightly, and the deck beneath his feet cracked slightly as intense Force radiated continuously.

Brina suddenly felt an even more dangerous aura from him. In her eyes, the man before her was no longer a hundred-meter reef, but more like the sheer cliffs of the Hongtu Dalu, like a terrifying giant Sea King, opening a crimson maw, wanting to swallow everything.

Bang!

Bang!

Bai Cangshu kicked those Marines away one by one. His Force was ingenious; although they were kicked into the air, the Force was completely dispersed, preventing these frail Marine soldiers from dying.

"Get up and sail the ship!"

"Let us quickly find the treasure, and then go wait for more exciting slaughter!"

His tone was excited. Brina clutched her neck, the fear of being grabbed by him returning. She glanced at the sea, but lacked the courage to jump down and escape.

In the end, she could only look at the soldiers who had woken up, lower her head, and say powerlessly,

"Just cooperate with him for now."

In any case, leaving the sea area where Enel was for the time being could be considered a good thing.

Compared to the madman before her, Enel had already become a true evil god in Brina's eyes.

The Navy warship sailed faster than an average Pirate ship, and with the Milestone bonus from Bai Cangshu, it moved even faster, quickly breaking away from the vicinity of Skuld Island and arriving at the former site of Jiaya.

This was only a few nautical miles from Mock Town. Outside Mock Town, a large number of Pirate ships were docked. Seeing the warship, although they did not attack, they did not flee either.

Bai Cangshu knew that this group of people had likely all come looking for the Golden Town.

Enel's strength far exceeded Bai Cangshu's expectations. Based on the performance in the original world, Bai Cangshu had originally thought that an expert who had mastered Armament Haki would be enough to threaten Enel.

But he hadn't expected that the other party would easily defeat Doflamingo head-on.

It was clear that in the timeline development of this world, Enel had not only failed to be defeated on the Sky Island, but had successfully destroyed the Sky Island with "Thunder Welcome," causing Jaya Island to fall into the sea, while his own strength had increased significantly and his fruit ability development had gone a step further.

However, Enel, don't worry, hey, the news has been released; this sea has plenty for you to play with.

"Colonel Brina, we have reached the sea area marked on the chart!"

Bai Cangshu's Spirit was lifted. His Luck was very strong at this moment, and he had a premonition that the treasure would not be bad.
