Chapter 155

"Conqueror's Haki... Armament Haki!"

"Yo~ as expected~ you've awakened too."

Huang Yuan's tone was as unhurried as ever.

Bear remained silent.

……

Because all the reporters had fainted, the live broadcast feed vanished.

Countless people standing before their screens stared at the vanished image, froze for a moment, and then grew furious.

"What's going on?! What the hell is this, isn't there just no picture at all now?!"

"The fight was just getting to the good part! Damn!"

"What's going to happen next... I really want to see it!!"

"Can that traveler Luo En escape?!"

"That last image... it felt so tragic and heroic. Oh no, I think I'm about to become a fan of that traveler Luo En."

"Calm down, that guy's just a criminal."

"But he doesn't seem to have done anything bad, right? It was clearly the Marines who made the first move against him."

"Uh, this..."

……

"What's going on?! Get me connected to those guys over there right now!"

"Big News" Morgans, upon noticing the loss of the live broadcast, also grew anxious and immediately tried to connect with the reporters over there, but those reporters had already completely fainted under the pressure of the Conqueror's Haki—how could they possibly receive the call?

This great battle that followed was destined to be witnessed by very few.

Drum Island, only one-third of the battlefield before Drum Mountain remained.

Boom!

Luo En, after blocking one of Huang Yuan's laser beams, had his figure pushed back by the blast's wind, sliding more than ten meters backward.

Tobberman, his entire body hardened with Armament Haki, leapt high into the air, both hands gripping his blade as he slashed down toward Luo En below.

Luo En, whose eyes flashed with a red gleam, narrowed his gaze; his figure, radiating blood-colored steam, flashed and appeared at the man's side.

In Tobberman's slightly widened eyes, a whip kick was thrown.

An incomparably heavy side kick landed on his waist, sending him flying instantly; like a cannonball, he crashed into the mountain forest, flew a thousand meters, smashed through countless trees, then slammed heavily into a snow mountain—the snow mountain crumbled, triggering a massive avalanche.

Whoosh!

Huang Yuan appeared above Luo En, his right foot glowing as he kicked downward.

Luo En, suspended in midair, didn't even look, dodging by twisting his body.

Huang Yuan's foot came down, and a dazzling laser beam smashed into the ground.

Rumble!

The ground exploded violently, wild winds sweeping through.

Luo En swung his blade and slashed toward Huang Yuan in the air; Huang Yuan's figure dodged, and the several-kilometer-long pitch-black slash cleaved through the thick, gloomy dark clouds in the sky, a beam of light falling onto the snow-covered Drum Island.

Bear raised his paw and slapped it toward Luo En.

"Paw Shock."

Luo En sensed the astonishing shockwave from his side, and his free left hand clawed at the air around him.

Countless blizzards gathered together, along with the myriad bits of rubble from the ground, forming a hundred-meter-long giant blizzard-rubble dragon that met that shockwave head-on!

Rumble!!

Accompanied by a tremendous roar like thunder exploding.

Two powerful forces collided; the converging wind pressure exploded violently, and terrifying shockwaves rolled outward in all directions.

The ground within a radius of a thousand meters and the snowflakes in the air were all swept clean.

That giant dragon condensed from blizzard and rubble shattered piece by piece!

Huang Yuan crossed his hands, his fingers flashing with dazzling light.

"Yasakani Sacred Jewel!"

Countless dazzling light bullets were fired toward Luo En below—speed, power, and range, all astonishingly great!

Luo En, suspended in midair, was directly beaten underground by this fierce, storm-like onslaught, and the earth sank once more!

Compared to the very beginning, the ground here was now several dozen meters lower.

The center was bottomless.

Huang Yuan, draped in his Justice coat, landed at the edge of the crater at the center, raising his glowing finger toward the crater.

"Looks like this is the end."

As he spoke, his glowing fingertip fired a laser beam into the crater.

"Water Surface Slash."

A pitch-black slash, like a slit of sky, cleaved out from within the crater, slicing that laser beam clean in two.

Immediately after, several incomparably straight, razor-sharp pitch-black slashes burst out from the surrounding ground, slicing the earth apart in clean, straight lines.

The earth began to shake violently!

When Tobberman crawled out from the shattered mountain, the scene before his eyes made his pupils contract sharply.

He saw the earth within a radius of dozens of kilometers cut into neat, tidy blocks, each one a cube roughly a hundred meters in length, width, and height, now floating up into the sky like lanterns!

The battlefield that had originally been before Drum Mountain had now become a bottomless abyss spanning several hundred meters; a black-haired, black-clothed youth wielding a blade stood in the air above that abyss, with dozens of massive cubic stone blocks floating above his head.

The sight was incomparably breathtaking!

Luo En, whose right arm's clothing had been torn away from wielding the black blade, willed it, and the snow enveloping the entire island gathered here in full, then condensed into a thousand-meter-long blizzard dragon, coiling around him.

"You really are stubborn~"

Huang Yuan said helplessly, hands stuffed in his trouser pockets, gazing up at him.

"Looks like I'll have to ask the Admiral to bump up my pay when I get back this time."

Boom!

A massive boulder that had risen several thousand meters into the sky was suddenly caught by gravity's pull, plummeting downward like a meteor, wrapped in a terrifying momentum!

Bartholomew thrust his bear paw upward.

He shattered that falling massive boulder into pieces, countless fragments of stone scattering all around.

And this was only the beginning. As Luo En dispersed his ability, those several dozen massive cubic boulders plummeted downward in unison, like a scene of apocalypse.

"This… is he trying to destroy this island?!"

Dauberman gritted his teeth, stomped down hard, and clenched his fist as he charged to meet a falling giant boulder.

Bartholomew also shifted his target from Luo En to these terrifyingly destructive boulders.

And Huang Yuan, wielding the Ame-no-Murakumo forged from photons, collided with the giant blizzard dragon outside Luo En's body.

After he sliced open that blizzard dragon—

Countless snowflakes surged to engulf him, coalescing into a snow mountain that wrapped him within.

But soon, dazzling golden beams shot out from the snow mountain, accompanied by an explosion—the snow mountain was completely torn open, revealing Huang Yuan completely unharmed.

What greeted Huang Yuan was Luo En gripping Black Blade Shusui in both hands, a full-powered slash from top to bottom!

"Blazing Tiger!"

A giant black-flame tiger wrapped in domineering aura slammed into Huang Yuan, blasting him completely into the remaining third of Drum Castle!

Rumble!

The mountain body split apart, the earth trembled and roared!

That remaining third of Drum Castle was also completely shattered by this strike!

After unleashing this slash, Luo En, whose face had gone slightly pale, did not hesitate in the slightest. He immediately raised his hand and clenched it in the air toward that direction!

The red gleam in his eyes blazed dazzlingly!

"Suppress the Prison!"

Accompanied by his fierce shout, countless rubble across the entire island levitated, all surging toward that spot, forming a new mountain in the blink of an eye.

This could probably only trap Huang Yuan for a few seconds. Luo En's figure flashed, and he arrived before Bartholomew. While swinging his blade down at him, Luo En asked a question.

"Where did you send them?"

Bartholomew raised his palm, blocking Luo En's slash with a shockwave. The two forces collided, wild winds raging, a clear divide between them!

"Sabaody Archipelago, to Silvers Rayleigh."

Bartholomew said, gazing at him.
