Chapter 916: Armed Deployment
“Smash!!”
"Flame Emperor Great Flame Ring!!"
"The Glory of the Fairy!!"
Ten minutes later, accompanied by three earth-shaking noises, the residents of the entire Sabaody Archipelago witnessed a scene that they would never forget. It was an unprecedented spectacle composed of a white airflow with extremely destructive power, a fireball burning like the sun, and a dazzling light that gathered the power of the sun, moon and stars.
This miraculous sight came from Area 19, and the strange image reached the sky, causing people from the entire island to exclaim in amazement.
Some people said that it was a spectacle created by the battle between the navy and pirates; others said that it was a reward from God to a certain red-nosed hero for punishing the Celestial Dragons.
In short, the strange phenomenon that occurred in the Sabaody Archipelago on that day, along with the incident of "Buggy the Clown beating up the Celestial Dragons", was remembered by people all over the ocean after being spread by the Economic News Agency.
Back to the present, under tree No. 19, the three Pacifists have been scrapped, their bodies lying on the ground in pieces. The mottled ground and the iron tools emitting a faint unpleasant black smoke tell us that this place has just experienced a thrilling battle.
The most messy one was the one that fought with Gildarts. Under the cutting of the crushing magic, it could not even last three minutes before it was completely dismembered. The programs that made up its body's movement functions had lost all their functions after the metal hardware was destroyed, and it was reduced to scrap metal.
The one that fought with Ace had its clothes badly damaged, and part of its body was melted into iron liquid by the high-temperature flames. It now lay limp on the ground in a semi-solid, semi-liquid state, and had also lost the ability to continue operating.
The last Pacifist was the worst off. It was bombarded by the "Fairy's Glory". At this moment, only half of the head and two hands that barely maintained their shape were left of this machine. Apart from that, the whole body was broken into irregular metal the size of fingers, scattered all over the area of hundreds of meters.
Now, the only person in the world who thinks these metals are still useful may be the supernova Eustace Kidd who ate the Magnet-Magnet Fruit - these metals cannot be used for other things, but they are enough to be put together to form a big iron arm.
Buggy's legs were shaking, and he looked at Cana with trembling eyes, as if he was looking at a strange creature: "You are so strong? I can't believe it!"
Growing up, Cana was often praised for her drinking capacity, but rarely for her strength. So when she heard Buggy sigh from the bottom of his heart about his strength, she happily pinched his big red nose, as if accepting his flattery: "Well said! That's right, I'm that strong! Even if there are another hundred robots like these, I can easily deal with them!"
After that, Kana stretched out her hand in front of Buggy again, proudly showing off the black magic pattern on her right forearm. It was a magic circle that stored magic power. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to activate the "Fairy's Glory" with her own magic power alone.
"You...you bastard...let go of my nose!!"
With his nose pinched, Buggy protested with a nasal tone, but unfortunately, Kana was like a drunk and was rolling his red nose like a dice.
"Don't be so stingy , let me play with it for a while. I've never seen such an interesting nose..."
Kana played with the red round nose for a while before returning it to Baki with a dull look. Then, facing his resentful and angry gaze that dared not resist, she asked, "I heard that you also have the ability to split into pieces. Can't you do that?"
Buggy looked in the direction of her finger and saw Gildarts chatting with Ace, and in front of him were a pile of PX-1 corpses that had been cut into parts by the crushing magic.
"The fruit's ability to affect external objects can only be achieved after the superhuman ability users have awakened, and there are only a few people in the entire ocean who have awakened the fruit..."
Before they could have a good rest, a voice suddenly exploded from the side.
"What's going on?! PX-1, PX-2, and PX-3 are all destroyed?! This is the money for three whole warships!"
"Old man, are these pirates so strong?"
When everyone heard the sound, they looked and saw that Kizaru, who had just fought with them, appeared again, followed by a fat white man wearing a belly button and shorts and holding a big axe.
"Oh no!! It's Kizaru! There's one more person!!"
Buggy panicked immediately, his eyes rolled, and he immediately thought of a way to bully others, "You, you, you... you actually dared to catch up with us, do you really want to challenge all the forces in the New World at the same time?"
However, now that Kizaru had received orders from Sengoku, he no longer intended to slack off, so his reply disappointed Buggy.
"What a pity! The order I received was to 'arrest Buggy the Clown and Ace the Flaming Fist'. As for whether it will cause a major riot, that is not something a worker like me needs to consider..."
“What are you talking about?!” Buggy’s face changed drastically, and he became visibly panicked.
On the other side, Ace's face changed when he heard that he was also on the arrest list. He pressed down the hat on his head and said, "Are you going to arrest me too? This is going to be troublesome..."
"How can you say you're in trouble?! You're clearly looking like you're saying 'this sounds interesting'!!"
"Really? Whatever..."
Ace laughed playfully, his body ablaze with flames, "Anyway, the only thing we can do now is to fight, right? I've been out to sea for so long, and I've never seriously fought an admiral before..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ace immediately took action. He put his hands together in the shape of a pistol at his waist, aiming directly at Zhan Taomaru: "Firegun!"
The next moment, fire flickered!
Bang, bang, bang…
Along with loud gunshots, orange-yellow flaming bullets spurted out from Ace's fingers, attacking Zhan Taomaru like a machine gun, without any martial ethics at all.
However, such an attack is fine against ordinary small characters, but it is not enough to use it against Zhan Taomaru, who has been with Vegapunk and Kizaru since childhood and has witnessed various strong people in the navy.
Zhan Taowan stomped his feet hard and jumped high up with a speed and strength that was totally inconsistent with his body size. The powerful force even caused a small pit to collapse where he had originally stood.
In mid-air, Zhan Taowan pulled his hand back and pulled out the giant axe tied to his back, quickly raised it in front of him, and then used his own gravity and the explosive power from his previous jump to form a fierce force, and slashed at Ace! !
Ace certainly wouldn't just stand there and get chopped by him, so he quickly jumped to the side to avoid it.
boom!!!
The giant axe smashed into the ground, and the powerful force tore the ground apart and spread outward four or five meters.
"Is that... domineering? This is really troublesome!"
Ace narrowed his eyes and saw that the giant axe that fell to the ground was attached with a very high level of Armament Haki. He immediately determined that Zhan Taomaru was someone who could use Armament Haki.
Knowing that this opponent was no simple opponent, Ace spread out his five fingers and released a large number of green fireflies, like fireflies in the fields under the summer night sky, magnificent and beautiful.
"Firefly·Firefly Daruma!!"
Each of these fireflies is actually condensed from flame energy. This color is difficult to see clearly in sunlight. Even if it can be seen clearly, the enemy will be careless because of the stereotype of fireflies, making it very suitable for sneak attacks.
However, Zhan Taomaru is no pushover. Although he is not as tight-lipped as he says, his defense is indeed very strong.
He calmly put the axe on the ground, raised his hands in front of him, and with a loud shout , released his armed color domineering aura, which dispersed all the fireflies flying towards him three meters away.
"Walking alone in the air!!"
Boom boom...
Amid the explosion, Ace's eyes became solemn. He didn't expect that the big white fat man in front of him not only had Armament Haki, but also had such a high level that he had actually reached the stage of "external release".
Even for those who have awakened Armament Haki, few people know that there are actually three ways to use Armament Haki: entanglement, internal destruction, and external release.
Entanglement is the most basic usage. It can be automatically realized after awakening the Armament Haki. As long as the domineering aura is wrapped around the limbs or weapons, it can gain a "strengthening" effect.
When entangled limbs, people usually choose to entangle partially, because this can maximize the efficiency of the use of Haki, like the legendary "Black Arm" Zephyr and "Navy Hero" Garp; in comparison, those who wrap their entire body with Armament Haki are either idiots or fools.
Weapon entanglement includes close combat weapons and long-range weapons, taking swords and arrows as examples. If you use entanglement on a sword for a long time, there is a chance that it will evolve into a 'black knife'; and because bows and bullets can leave the body, it is more difficult to add domineering aura to them, but not everyone can do it. The warriors of Daughter Island have this ability.
As for internal destruction and armed release, they are advanced uses of Armament Haki, which require a certain amount of Haki practice as a foundation, and then may require guidance from a master and the comprehension of tricks before one can learn them.
However, even in the New World, there are very few people who have learned internal sabotage and armed external deployment. If one can master one of them, it will be easy to become a senior officer of the Four Emperors or an elite vice admiral of the navy.
Ace has been in the Whitebeard Pirates for three years, and has been around top bosses, so naturally he awakened his Armament Haki very early on. However, even he cannot be said to be proficient in this aspect of power, and can only use it to fight against users of nature-type abilities. He shows no signs of having mastered the higher-level internal destruction and external release.
"Armed forces being deployed? This is getting tricky..." Ace muttered and frowned, thinking about how to defeat the enemy.
However, Zhan Taomaru didn't give him time to think. He squatted slightly and made a sumo posture, then shot out at such a speed that it even produced a sonic boom.
"Walking alone in the air!!"
The armed force can be used for both attack and defense. Since Zhan Taowan learned this skill, he has been working hard every day. Now he can use it freely and even develop his own unique usage, which makes him a master of one trick.
boom!!!
Ace was unable to react in time and was hit hard by a palm and fell to the ground! !
