Chapter 417: The Profound Meaning of Power - Creation of Heaven and Earth
"Phew! Hmm? Looks like something interesting happened over there! Too bad you survived!"
As the dust settled, a disheveled Shanks steadied himself on the ground. The black coat he had been wearing was gone, and several long knife wounds on his upper body were bleeding. His left hand, gripping Griffin, rose and fell with Shanks' rapid breathing.
"Cough cough cough... Hehehe! Phew! You really want to kill me that much, Shanks! Too bad, you won't be able to do it today!"
At this moment, Mu Chong was also injured, even more severely than Shanks. With each cough, streams of blood seeped from his wounds.
"Oh? You're so sure I can't kill you? In my hands, your crew can't protect you at all!"
Upon hearing Mu Chong's words, Shanks forcefully steadied his breathing, gripped the Griffin in his hand, and took a step forward.
Stab it!
Just then, streaks of blue lightning struck beside Mu Chong, and Enel, clad in white robes, appeared in the center of the battlefield, his cold gaze fixed on Shanks.
"Ok?"
Shanks frowned slightly upon hearing Enel's arrival, for he sensed a powerful surge of energy emanating from Enel.
"Bah! Don't waste your breath, Shanks! You're not going to risk your life for the outcome of this battle right now! Your ambitions have only just begun, haven't they?"
"Even if you have the ability to kill me, your Red-Haired Pirates will be wiped out. So, today's battle ends here! However, the matter of you injuring my crew member will not end here!"
boom!
Just as Mu Chong was speaking, Ben Beckman landed next to Shanks, then stepped forward and said a few words to Shanks, whose expression visibly turned serious.
"Heh! You're quite well prepared, hero! But you seem to have overestimated the speed at which the Navy and the World Government can arrive here!"
boom!
Shanks hesitated for only half a second, then his aura surged, a terrifying Conqueror's Haki raging wildly around him, and red lightning bolts hurtled toward Griffin in his hand.
At this moment, Shanks wanted to kill Mu Chong as quickly as possible, regardless of the consequences.
"Hahahaha! Shanks! This sea is free! No one wants to have their fate controlled by others, and you, Shanks, are no exception!"
boom!
Facing Shanks' Conqueror's Haki, Mu Chong's own kingly aura also burst forth, and black and red lightning swept out like a hurricane.
boom!
The two extremely powerful Conqueror's Haki clashed, and the already dilapidated island began to shake and collapse, even changing the color of the sky.
"I'm not playing with you anymore, Shanks! We'll meet again in the future! Until we meet again!"
Mu Chong's indifferent gaze was fixed on Shanks, and as he spoke, he slowly ascended into the air with Enel's support.
"Hero Mu Chong!"
hum!
The moment Mu Chong's feet left the island's surface, Shanks' aura reached its peak, and the Griffin in his hand was completely dyed red.
"Gods, beware!"
The next second, Shanks took a step forward, his left arm propelling Griffin forward.
boom!
"laugh!"
As Shanks moved, a massive crimson griffin burst forth from the sky, its wings flapping to increase its speed dramatically, reaching Mu Chong in almost an instant.
"Humph!"
At the same moment Shanks swung Griffin, Mu Chong pushed Enel aside in mid-air, then concentrated his Conqueror's Haki on the longsword White Dragon in his right hand, along with a dense white energy.
"The Profound Meaning of Power - Creation of Heaven!"
boom!
With the swing of the longsword White Dragon, a massive white slash crackled with black and red lightning tore through the air.
The moment the white slash was unleashed, the surrounding space visibly distorted, drawing in all the forces around it to bombard the red griffin.
boom!
boom!
The next second, the white slash struck the red griffin's head head-on. The collision of the two forces generated a massive energy wave that swept across the entire island.
Rumble!
A deafening roar echoed across the entire sea, the island's ground began to collapse, and seawater surged in from all sides, creating a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse.
boom!
Rumble!
The explosion caused by the two forces lasted for a long time, until the entire island was destroyed, and only then did the energy fluctuations from the explosion subside.
"Captain... let Hongo check your injuries first! They're so serious..."
Ben Beckman, the captain of the Red-Haired Pirates' Red Fox, stared at Shanks before him, his brow furrowed, and slowly began to speak.
"Phew! Beckman! We need to hurry up and get that done..."
Upon hearing Ben Beckman's voice, Shanks didn't turn around to look at the people behind him. Instead, he kept his eyes fixed on the center of the explosion and said earnestly...
"Yes! You're the captain! We'll all do as you say, but now, you need to take care of your injuries!"
Shanks' words caused a glint to flash in Ben Beckman's eyes, raising his vigilance towards Mu Chong to a new level. This guy, who could make Shanks change his plans, was no ordinary person.
"Yes, Captain! Your wounds are still bleeding! If you don't treat them, your complexion will only get worse..."
Ben Beckman had barely finished speaking when the ship's doctor, Hongo, spoke anxiously from behind.
"Hahaha! It's nothing! Hongo! It's just a minor injury. That guy was hurt much worse than me..."
Facing the sea, Shanks' expression shifted repeatedly. A few seconds after Hongo finished speaking, Shanks turned around with a smile, saying he was fine, but his body obediently allowed Hongo to handle him.
Meanwhile, Enel, with Mu Chong, had already passed through the clouds and arrived at a small island in the sky. This was Caroline's landing point, which she had pre-emptively levitated in the air using her Float-Float Fruit ability.
"Hehehe! Thank you for your trouble, Caroline!"
In the heart of the small island, on a lush green meadow, Mu Chong lay smiling as Caroline undressed him.
"Hmph! Serves you right!"
Caroline glanced at Mu Chong's face, let out a cold snort, and said "serves him right" while gently and carefully tending to Mu Chong's wounds.
"Captain! If you don't come back soon, Caroline is ready to throw this island overboard!"
Sitting next to Mu Chong, Baku looked at him with worry in his eyes. He hadn't left Mu Chong's side since the moment Mu Chong returned.
"Hmm? Have your injuries healed, Baku?"
No sooner had Baku finished speaking than a chill instantly filled the air, and Caroline's threatening gaze locked onto Baku.
"Um...that...I'll shut up..."
Faced with Caroline, who was on the verge of exploding, Baku decisively chose to avoid her attack.
"call……"
Sitting next to Baku, Sha Crocodile didn't speak, only slowly exhaling a puff of smoke. His eyes swept back and forth between Mu Chong, who was exchanging glances with Caroline, his expression full of determination.
"Hey! Enel! Where are Belinda and the others now? Did you make all the arrangements before you left?"
At this moment, Mu Chong turned his head to look at Enel, who was eating an apple on the other side, and slowly asked...
"Hmm? Don't worry, Captain!"
Enel put down the apple he was holding and nodded seriously.
"Okay! Let's go pick them up first!"
