Chapter 386 A casual wave
Chapter 386 A casual wave
In the blink of an eye, just as Don Achino was filled with terror, the enormous fireball that had been cleaved in two by the golden lion crashed into the turbulent sea like two meteorites falling from the sky.
A deafening roar erupted, shaking the entire world. The immense power contained within the fireball, like a volcanic eruption, once again unleashed a terrifying storm.
The raging waves, like a monstrous beast, roared and thrashed as they swept towards the island beneath their feet with overwhelming force. In the blink of an eye, the island was completely swallowed by the surging waves and vanished without a trace.
This demonstrates just how terrifying and astonishing the power of Don Achino's attack was. However, despite Don Achino's immense strength, he was ultimately slightly inferior to the Golden Lion.
His body tensed instantly, his muscles taut, his nerves on edge, as if every cell in his body was screaming for him to dodge the fatal blow. However, time cruelly mocked his reaction speed; by the time he realized the danger, it was already too late.
His once calm heart was now gripped tightly by an invisible hand, leaping into his throat. His eyes widened as he stared intently at the golden slash, as if he could see it hurtling towards him with the aura of death. He knew that if this attack struck, he would likely suffer severe injuries, if not death, and might even lose the ability to fight forever.
"Whoosh!" At this critical moment, a dark figure rushed in like lightning. The speed was so fast that it was dazzling, and there was no time to even see the appearance of the person. In the blink of an eye, the dark figure stood firmly between him and the Golden Lion's slashing waves, like an unbreakable city wall.
Huh? Don Achino's body jolted, his gaze following the appearance of the dark figure. When he saw the tall and familiar figure in front of him, the shock in his heart was instantly replaced by a warm feeling.
It was Aini! He immediately realized that Aini was going to take the Golden Lion's attack for him!
His heart, which had been pounding in his throat, settled gently back into his chest the moment he saw Aini. In the past, facing such a powerful attack, he would never have dared to relax even slightly. But now, he had absolute confidence in Aini.
Because not long ago, Aini had already proven his strength to him with his actions.
Indeed, it was true, and it was astonishing! Aini, expressionless, raised his hand and seemingly casually swung it at the incredibly powerful slashing wave unleashed by the Golden Lion. However, in that instant, an extremely terrifying force suddenly erupted, like an unstoppable torrent, forcefully changing the direction of the Golden Lion's slashing wave!
This scene was utterly unbelievable, as if the Golden Lion's cleaving wave was so insignificant and vulnerable before Aini. It was as if it were just a fragile paper toy, easily manipulated by Aini.
This casual wave not only astonished the Golden Lion, but also made him deeply doubt his own strength. He stared wide-eyed in disbelief as his proud Wave Slash was so easily neutralized, and a sense of defeat welled up in his heart.
For Don Achino, however, this casual wave gave him a clearer and more definite understanding of his own strength. He realized that, in terms of attack power alone, he had already reached the initial level of a royal-level fighter.
However, this power can only be displayed after he has fully charged up his strength. Without sufficient charging time, his strength would probably only reach the level of a potential Navy Admiral.
Therefore, even though Shiki is old, weak, and incomplete, he is still no match for Enni. Not to mention the man before them who is completely suppressing Shiki and beating him mercilessly; his strength is unfathomable!
Just then, Aini suddenly turned around, staring intently at Don Achino behind him with a disdainful smile, and said slowly, "I'll deal with this old guy! Your strength is not bad, but it's still a bit inferior to mine."
Golden Lion naturally understood what Aini meant. He knew that the upcoming battle would be extremely fierce, and a slight mistake could mean certain death. However, he showed no sign of backing down. Instead, he clenched his fists tightly and secretly resolved to fight Aini to the death.
Just as the Golden Lion was preparing to go all out, he suddenly raised his hands, and the once calm sea surface began to churn violently as if stirred by an invisible force. Immediately afterwards, large torrents of seawater, as if by magic, broke free from the pull of gravity and slowly drifted into the air.
This astonishing scene left everyone present speechless. Both Don Achino and Enni frowned in unison. They both knew perfectly well that for Devil Fruit users, seawater was a nightmare; regardless of their type, they couldn't escape its dominance. Even someone as powerful as Enni was no exception.
Although Aini possesses the bloodline factor of a fishman, which allows him to breathe freely underwater, this only prevents him from dying immediately if he accidentally falls into the sea; it does not change the fact that seawater poses a deadly threat to him.
After all, when he sinks to the bottom of the sea, he is as if abandoned by the world, left only to silently await rescue. However, if rescuers fail to find him or cannot arrive in time, he will face only death.
In the entire world, if one had to find a Devil Fruit user who is not afraid of seawater, Kaido would probably be the only exception. However, there are many different opinions and no consensus on why Kaido is not afraid of seawater.
Kaido, one of the Four Emperors renowned in the New World, has captivated us since his first appearance with his immense strength and astonishing immortality, becoming the mystery we most yearn to unravel.
As is well known, Devil Fruit users are like abandoned children rejected by the sea. Once they consume a Devil Fruit, their bodies become as soft and weak as cotton when they come into contact with seawater, losing all their strength and abilities.
However, in the original work, Kaido is a Zoan-type Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit user!
