Chapter 312
Green Bull increased his speed.
Moments later,
he arrived above Egghead.
"Eh?!"
Green Bull, who had been relaxed, saw the situation on Egghead and his expression suddenly changed.
"Why are there so many soldiers... and they are all clones..."
"When did Vegapunk make them? Where did he get the funds?"
Green Bull instinctively attributed the clone army on the island to Vegapunk's work.
But immediately after,
he realized something was wrong.
"No, it's not Vegapunk!"
"That is..."
Green Bull's pupils suddenly dilated to their maximum, and he cried out in horror:
"That is the Fifth Emperor, Luo Xing!!"
As the greatest threat to the World Government in The Present World, Luo Xing's appearance had already spread throughout the entire world.
Green Bull, a loyal lackey of the Celestial Dragons, had of course long since deeply imprinted Luo Xing's face in his mind.
Green Bull had even fantasized that one day he would surely suck Luo Xing dry and present him as a gift to the Five Elders.
It was just that Green Bull never would have thought.
He would encounter the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing so early, so suddenly.
Most crucially, he was alone!
Although Green Bull was extremely confident in his own strength, he was not a fool.
The Fifth Emperor Luo Xing's battle record was too dazzling; he admitted that in a one-on-one fight, he could not possibly be a match for him.
"What to do? Flee?"
Under Green Bull's terror, the thought of retreating rose in his heart.
"No, how can I just flee like this? After returning, facing the my lords' Five Elders' reproach, where would I put my face?"
Green Bull gritted his teeth, took several deep breaths, and stabilized his emotions.
He absolutely could not turn and run like a shrinking turtle; at the very least, he must exchange a few moves, so he could explain to the Five Elders upon returning.
Although Green Bull believed he could not defeat Luo Xing alone,
relying on the ability of his Forest-Forest Fruit,
as long as he was determined to run, it would be absolutely impossible for the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing to keep him.
On this point, Green Bull still had considerable confidence.
Therefore,
Green Bull pretended to be calm and said:
"I didn't expect 590, the mighty Fifth Emperor Luo Xing, to be here. Uncle Vegapunk, you have truly fallen!"
Vegapunk temporarily took his eyes off the Anywhere Door and looked at Green Bull:
"Green Bull, a good bird chooses its tree to perch on. Since the World Government was first unkind and unjust, do not blame this old man for changing his allegiance."
Green Bull's expression turned gloomy.
He suddenly extended his palm and pressed it down onto the island.
He said viciously:
"Then do not blame me for being unkind!"
Green Bull activated the ability of his Forest-Forest Fruit; he was going to turn the entire Egghead into a forest!
In this way,
perhaps he could take advantage of the forest's cover to kill Vegapunk and complete the mission!
However,
at the very moment Green Bull was preparing to activate his ability, a calm voice filled with supreme majesty suddenly exploded in his ear:
"Did I permit you to do this?"
Buzz!
The originally clear sky instantly turned gray.
A terrifying pressure descended upon Green Bull's head.
"Ah. This is!"
Green Bull clutched his head and screamed.
"This is Conqueror's Haki!"
"Ah, my head hurts so much!"
263. Divine Punishment Descends, Green Bull Dies! Bonney's Heart Pounding
In the original work.
Green Bull was the newly appointed Fleet Admiral two years after the Summit War.
But compared to Fujitora, who was wholeheartedly concerned for the common people,
Green Bull was the exact opposite, loyal only to the Celestial Dragons.
Although he was the user of the Forest-Forest Fruit, known as the Mother of the Earth, his Haki and strength were both mediocre.
He had once been shaken into clutching his head and fleeing by Shanks the Red's Conqueror's Haki, earning him the title of shame of the Fleet Admirals.
And Luo Xing's Conqueror's Haki today was already no less than that of Red-Haired Shanks—if anything, it surpassed him.
Beneath his all-encompassing Conqueror's Haki pressure,
Green Bull's head throbbed as if splitting apart, and he screamed without cease.
In his heart, there was even boundless horror.
"There is actually such a powerful Conqueror's Haki in this world—Emperor Luo Xing, this man is terrifying!"
"Let alone killing Vegapunk in front of him, just keeping my own life intact would be good enough!"
"Run! I must run! Run at all costs!"
Green Bull clenched his teeth, enduring the violent headache.
Abandoning any侥幸 thoughts, he turned and fled.
Fortunately,
He had not landed on the island, and had remained in the sky all along.
With the power of the Clover, his flying speed was very fast.
This scene,
Made even Vegapunk click his tongue in amazement.
A powerhouse of Admiral rank, Green Bull, trusted by the World Government—
Had actually been scared into fleeing in disarray by Luo Xing in a single encounter.
And Luo Xing had not even moved a single finger, merely radiating his aura.
At this moment,
Luo Xing moved.
His figure vanished on the spot in an instant.
When he reappeared, he was already standing in the direction Green Bull was fleeing toward.
Luo Xing held Yanmo, stepped on the void, his gaze icy, his expression cold and fierce.
Purple-black Conqueror's Haki currents swirled around him, like a heavenly judge passing sentence on a criminal.
"So fast—!"
Green Bull was greatly horrified.
He had still underestimated the man before him!
The opponent's speed clearly far surpassed his own!
"You, a running dog of the Celestial Dragons, shall be smashed to pieces to atone for your sins!"
The heavenly judge delivered his sentence.
The hellish blade Yanmo let out an excited, bloodthirsty sword-howl.
