Chapter 2499 Owen Counters the Territorial Transformation Array!
"I don't need to use alchemy to fight you."
Crocodile's words instantly enraged Charlotte Owen.
"Insanity!"
Owen roared and unleashed the power of the Heat-Heat Fruit within him to its fullest extent.
His right foot slammed into the ground, and a surge of heat erupted like a bursting dam.
The woodland within a one-kilometer radius, whether it is soil, rocks or vegetation.
In just a few seconds, everything was melted by the terrifying heat, turning into a vast, crimson lake of lava.
The moisture in the air evaporated in large quantities, creating a pungent sulfurous smell that permeated the air.
Almost at the same time that Irving activated his ability, Crocodile also made a move.
The awakened power of the Sand-Sand Fruit swept across the entire area like invisible ripples.
He saw endless sand and gravel appear out of thin air beneath his feet and around him, like golden waves, eroding the lava that was spreading in the opposite direction.
In the blink of an eye.
The dividing line between sand and fire is clearly defined.
On one side is a golden desert with howling winds, and on the other side is a scorching red inferno.
The two awakened Devil Fruit users, upon their first clash, altered their respective battlefield environments in the most domineering way, establishing a stalemate.
"Hot Wind Fist - Tiger Roar!"
Charlotte Irving launched the first attack.
Combining the Breath of Flame, the Fiery Fist of the True Law Realm was unleashed with ferocity.
A deafening explosion occurred.
A crimson, high-temperature shockwave, shaped like a tiger pouncing on its prey, appeared out of nowhere.
Wherever it passed, the air ignited, and flames shot into the sky.
The powerful roar of the tiger resounded throughout the venue, creating waves of sound.
However, Crocodile's gaze was indifferent as he swiftly swung his left-hand golden hook, the high-frequency vibrating black sand blade meeting the attack head-on.
【boom! ! ! 】
An even more violent roar erupted the moment the two collided.
The terrifying core temperature completely crystallized the nearby sand and gravel.
The released shockwave pushed away layers of surrounding magma and sand.
Dust and flames intertwined wildly, eventually splitting the latter in two.
"Spinning Tail - Heat Wind Slash!"
Charlotte Owen, however, had already taken out a naginata-type Imperial Arm called 'Tiger Flame Whirlwind Naginata' from his spatial ring.
With his dance.
The tiger tail ball at the end of the long handle traces a path that causes the entire blade to rotate.
Instantly, a spiraling, high-heat slash roared out, covering almost all of Crocodile's dodge angles.
It has a bit of the flair that Edward Newgate had when he wielded the "Murakumogiri".
Crocodile, however, paid no attention and engaged in fierce combat with him, dragging his golden hook and sand blade.
The battle became intense from the very beginning.
Irving's offensive was like fire; with each swing of his naginata, a shadowy figure appeared, and the heatwave was immense.
Sometimes he attacks fiercely at close range with the 'Hot Wind Fist', and sometimes he sweeps across the air with the 'Hot Wind Slash'.
He combined Haki, the Heat-Heat Fruit, Flame Breathing, Imperial Arms, and physical techniques quite perfectly.
The fighting prowess he displayed far surpassed that of Capone Becky, Doberman, Daifuku, Cracker, and others.
It was as if a real fiery giant tiger was rampaging wildly on the battlefield.
Crocodile, on the other hand, relied on his superior strength to calmly respond, engaging in both offense and defense.
At the same time, he fully demonstrated the unpredictability and ruthlessness of the Sand-Sand Fruit's power.
The two engaged in a fierce battle at the border between lava and desert.
They fought from the forest to the mountains, from the dead of night to dawn, and from day to night.
Sandstorms and fires destroyed everything in their path.
Crocodile realized he had underestimated Irving.
This guy's strength is no less than Jozu's, but the latter's formidable defense makes him more difficult to deal with.
The battle lasted from a little before 1 a.m. until 11:24 p.m.
Nearly twenty-four hours passed in the blink of an eye.
The continent, spanning 100 million square kilometers, has once again been completely transformed, leaving it scarred and devastated.
Look around.
Everywhere there is lava and yellow sand eroding each other.
This has created vast stretches of sandstorms and flowing lava landscapes.
【boom! ! ! 】
Crocodile and Owen, who were still fighting, showed no sign of diminishing fighting spirit in their eyes.
"It seems we still need to use this."
With his cold words, the golden hook on his left hand once again turned into sand and vanished.
The Kabbalah Tree of Life stigmata on the back of his hand, symbolizing 'truth'.
A pure, cold white light suddenly shone in the night.
"Humph~"
Charlotte, Owen sneered at this, but unlike Joz, he was in no hurry to stop her.
at the same time.
Five sand clones split off from behind Crocodile and flew away in different directions.
The main body continues its fierce battle with Irving.
It didn't take long.
Streaks of blue and white alchemical lightning illuminated the night sky, signifying the beginning of the construction of the national transmutation array.
"Don't think about it!"
Irving, however, had been waiting for a long time.
Suddenly, he threw the 'Tiger Flame Whirlwind Tail Ninja' in his hand, causing it to embed itself in the lava ground in the distance.
"Heat manipulation. Earth vein blocking!"
next moment.
The 'Tiger Flame Whirlwind Tail Ninja' releases immense heat, like a precise surgical scalpel, transforming into an invisible pulse of high heat that penetrates deep into the earth.
However, instead of creating a destructive explosion, it disrupted and severed the earth vein energy being activated by the Earth Transformation Array.
【Buzz————】
Not long after, the soon-to-be-formed land-transformation array flashed intensely a few times.
The light then quickly dimmed.
The massive array, covering thousands of square kilometers, suddenly came to a standstill, like a machine that had lost power.
"Hahahaha!"
Charlotte Owen forced Crocodile away and let out a triumphant laugh, realizing his scheme had succeeded.
"I already learned the basics of alchemy and transmutation circles before I came!"
"Although the Territory Transformation Array is troublesome after it takes effect, it is extremely dependent on the earth's ley line energy and a complete structure!"
"As long as we can disrupt the earth's energy or completely destroy the terrain at key nodes, making it impossible for them to maintain their 'round' shape, we can easily destroy them!"
"And the so-called ley line energy is essentially geothermal energy flowing underground, which is magma!"
"So all I need to do is disrupt their flow with sufficiently precise and powerful heat!"
This might be difficult for others.
"But for me, who has awakened the Heat-Heat Fruit and possesses advanced Observation Haki, it's a piece of cake!"
Charlotte Irving's so-called advance knowledge.
It was basically a phone call to Charlotte Perospero to inquire.
This eldest son of the Charlotte family is now not only a high-ranking official in the province of Totland.
He is also a senior alchemist in the Alchemists' Guild.
Her title is the Alchemist of Candy.
Although Perospero was not capable of constructing a transmutation array on his own.
But he knew how to deal with it.
Owen happens to be a user of the Heat-Heat Fruit.
He is almost a natural counter to all alchemists.
Basically, as long as the power of the earth's veins is disrupted or controlled in advance, the alchemy array cannot be successfully activated.
Even most alchemists are unable to perform alchemy in front of him.
Owen looked at Crocodile smugly, ready to enjoy the latter's frustration after his defeat.
To his surprise, Crocodile's reaction was unexpected.
The latter remained indifferent, as if the obstruction of the formation was insignificant.
He raised his hands, adorned with various jewels, and a purple, domineering lightning bolt leaped from his left hand, while his right hand was wrapped with crimson alchemical lightning.
Even without a national territory to form a formation
Crocodile's voice was calm and even, yet carried a deeper chill.
"Defeating you is enough."
He is a Saint Mark Alchemist.
A 'circle' can be formed by clapping both palms, using conventional alchemy.
By touching the ground with both feet, one can utilize the power of the earth's veins.
Owen's current level of awakening is not enough to sever his connection with the earth's veins.
The words have not yet fallen.
He had already collided fiercely with Irving, who was unleashing blazing tiger flames, carrying two-colored lightning.
【boom! 】
The battle between the two sides took place after the variable of losing the Homeland Transformation Array came into play.
It fully enters a more pure and dangerous contest of power, dominance, and will.
