"I'll try my sword too!" With a deep voice, Hawkeye Mihawk pulled out the black sword on his back that was taller than his. He chopped it down with both hands, and the terrifying blue blade light directly cut through the lake. The blade light was so sharp that it seemed to split the world in two.
……
Hearing the pirates' cries for help, the top masters in the field, including the Admiral and the General, almost simultaneously launched terrible attacks on the ghostly shadow. For a moment, all kinds of light and power intertwined, forming a gorgeous and terrifying scene.
"A bunch of ants, even if they attack together, so what!" However, the ghostly shadow did not show any fear on his face. His voice was full of disdain and ridicule, as if these powerful attacks were child's play in his eyes.
With a strong disdainful voice, the ghostly shadow swayed slightly, and a black mist emerged from his body. The black mist was like a black flame, burning fiercely, completely covering his body.
When the black fog dissipated, it seemed to have evolved, and its body was covered with a layer of black fog armor. The armor flashed with a strange light, as if it was condensed by the power of darkness. At the same time, two red lights shot out from its eyes, like burning flames, which made people shudder. Then, a strange friction sound came from its body, and a ferocious and violent aura of terror spread.
"Roar!" A roar that seemed to come from the ancient times resounded above the lake. The sound was like the roar of thunder, deafening, and the terrifying sound waves echoed throughout Raftel, the rocks on the island shattered and the earth trembled.
At this moment, the ghostly shadow was like a wild beast awakening from its deep sleep. The roar was filled with heart-pounding cruelty and brutality, as if filled with endless destruction and slaughter. The source of the roar seemed to represent the most terrifying disaster in the world. The whole world seemed to have fallen into endless fear and despair in this roar.
With one palm strike, a black tornado arose in the palm of his hand, instantly defeating the attacks from all directions, and then exploded on the shore. The power of the explosion was like an atomic bomb, raising a huge smoke and shock wave.
Almost instantly, Sengoku, Whitebeard, Shanks and the others were all blown away at the same time, their blood boiling. Their bodies drew an arc in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.
"Is it...is its strength so terrifying?" a pirate said in horror, his voice full of despair and helplessness.
"Are we just going to wait for death?" Another pirate collapsed to the ground, the light of hope gone from his eyes.
"No, no, he can still save us." A pirate pointed at Jiang Han and said in a trembling voice.
On the black road, thousands of pirates were already emaciated and skinny. After being frightened, they looked to Jiang Han for help. Their eyes were filled with the last glimmer of hope, expecting Jiang Han to save them from the water and fire.
"Sir, please save us!" A pirate shouted at the top of his lungs, his shriveled face full of pleading.
"We don't want to die yet!" another pirate shouted in a crying voice, his voice full of desire for survival.
"I will never set foot on this island again." Another pirate swore, his eyes full of regret and fear.
……
Jiang Han glanced at the dying pirates on the lake below, and then his eyes fell on the ghostly shadow. His eyes were as calm as water, as if everything was under his control.
"I've been waiting for them for nine hundred years! Even if it's you, don't think of stopping me from completely transforming!" Sensing Jiang Han's gaze, the ghostly shadow snorted coldly, and two scarlet beams shot out of its eyes. The beams were like sharp swords, piercing straight at Jiang Han, carrying endless murderous intent and resentment.
At the same time, the black mist outside the body surged, forming a huge spear, which pierced through the void with a strange hissing sound and shot towards Jiang Han. Wherever the spear passed, black cracks were torn into space, as if it was going to pierce the entire world.
"You don't fit in with this world, and you shouldn't be here." A calm and indifferent voice fell, and Jiang Han stretched out two fingers, pinched the terrifying black mist spear, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, he directly shook it into nothingness. His movements were relaxed and natural, as if he was crushing an insignificant toy.
Then, he raised his hand and a billowing purple flame suddenly emerged from the void, and then rushed towards the ghostly shadow. The purple flame was like a surging sea wave, carrying the momentum of destroying everything.
"Is this where you're supposed to be?" The ghostly shadow roared, waving his hands. A large amount of black air gathered in front of him, gushing towards the purple flames. His voice was filled with reluctance and anger, and he tried to make a final struggle.
Chi Chi Chi!
The two intertwined and blended, and the harsh friction sound shook the hearts of everyone in the field. The sound was like the roar of a devil, making people's souls tremble.
However, the stalemate lasted only two seconds, and the black mist released by the ghostly shadow quickly collapsed and was soon swallowed up by the purple flame. The purple flame was like a hungry beast, instantly swallowing up the black mist.
"Ah!" Then, a miserable and painful low and hoarse voice floated in the air, as if suffering from the inhuman torture of the eighteen levels of hell, and the wailing sound made people feel pity. The sound seemed to come from the depths of hell, which made people shudder.
Under everyone's dull gaze, the ghostly shadow was wrapped in purple flames. From its ferocious expression and tumbling struggle, one could see the horror of the purple flames. His body twisted and deformed in the flames, and eventually turned into nothing.
The shrill sound lasted for about thirty seconds, then gradually faded away, and the ghostly shadow also disappeared in the purple flames. Only the remaining terrifying aura remained in the air, reminding everyone of what had just happened.
Almost at the same time, the dying pirates on the lake seemed to be saved. The painful expressions on their faces were immediately relieved. They collapsed on the spot one by one, gasping for air, as if they were liberated. Their bodies relaxed, as if they were pulled back from the brink of death.
"Thank you...thank you for saving me..." After a short rest, the pirates immediately knelt down towards Jiang Han in the air, expressing their gratitude repeatedly. Their voices were full of sincerity and awe, and they were filled with tears of gratitude for Jiang Han's life-saving grace.
"Just do it." Jiang Han nodded slightly to the pirates, then looked at Kaido with his eyes wide open, "I'm about to leave, you are free, you can go back to being one of the Four Emperors." His voice was as calm as water, without the slightest trace of nostalgia.
"Boss, where are you going? Can I continue to be your mount and go with you?" Kaido seemed to have noticed something and had a flattering look on his face. His eyes were full of reluctance and expectation, hoping to continue to follow Jiang Han.
"The world outside is very cruel. If you follow me, you will be made into kebabs in two days." Jiang Han looked at Kaido calmly, as if he was explaining an extremely true fact. His expression was serious and earnest, which made Kaido's heart shudder. "Well... then I'd better watch you leave." Hearing this, Kaido shrank his neck, with a look of fear on his face. He knew that Jiang Han's words were not a joke, so he could only reluctantly give up the idea of following.
"No, no, you can't leave! Leave the devil fruit tree behind!" Hearing that Jiang Han was leaving, the white-haired Yimu suddenly became ferocious, and he screamed like a madman. His voice was full of madness and greed, which made people shudder.
"Lord Yim, what's wrong with you?" Looking at Yim, whose eyes were bloodshot and veins were exposed, the Five Elders looked at each other, not knowing what to do. They had never seen Yim lose his composure like this, and their hearts were filled with doubts and fear.
"If you don't hand over the devil fruit tree, you and all of you will die!" Im flew into the air, pointed at Jiang Han, then at Whitebeard, Shanks, Monkey D. Dragon and everyone else. His voice was full of threats and murderous intent, as if he wanted to put everyone to death.
After these threatening words fell, Yimu turned into a ray of black light and disappeared. Everyone's heart suddenly rose to their throat, wondering what Yimu was planning.
Rumble——!
Less than thirty seconds after Im disappeared, Raftel began to shake violently. The entire island seemed to be groaning in pain, the ground was shaking, and the mountains were swaying.
To be exact, the entire Irian Island sea area was shaking, as if there was a seaquake, and several huge whirlpools appeared on the sea surface, each of which opened its ferocious mouth like a ferocious beast that was ready to devour people. The whirlpools were bottomless, as if they wanted to swallow everything.
The deafening roar was mixed with the sound of violent waves crashing, which made people's heart palpitate. The sky above the sea became completely dark, with dark clouds rolling, accompanied by terrible lightning, as if the end of the world was coming. The whole world seemed to be plunged into chaos, making people feel extremely scared and desperate.
"What's happening!" a pirate shouted in horror, his voice drowned out by the chaotic noise.
"How come the sea, which was calm just now, suddenly shook violently? What exactly caused the tsunami?" another pirate asked in a trembling voice, his eyes full of confusion and fear.
"Look up at the sky, Im appears!" Someone pointed at the sky and exclaimed loudly, his voice full of shock.
"What is he wearing? That aura is so scary!" Everyone looked up with expressions of horror on their faces.
……
The island was shaking, and everyone was trying to keep steady, with fear on their faces. They seemed so small and helpless in the face of this sudden disaster.
At this moment, someone noticed Im appearing again in the distant sky and couldn't help but exclaimed loudly.
Compared to before, Yim was now wearing a red armor that was covered in rust, as if it had been corroded for thousands or tens of thousands of years. The armor exuded an ancient and mysterious aura, which made people feel an invisible pressure.
At this moment, if you look closely, you can see that the blood from Yimu's body is continuously injected into the red armor. The blood seems to be the life source of the armor, making the armor exude an even more terrifying aura.
"Lord Yim, is this... is this the Heavenly King you mentioned?" Feeling the terrifying aura spreading from the scarlet armor, the Five Elders trembled, and even had the urge to kneel down and worship. Their voices trembled, full of awe for this powerful force.
Yimu's blood-red light swept across the Five Elders, and he remained silent. His eyes were cold and ruthless, as if the whole world was at his feet.
"What? That's the ancient weapon king!" Hearing the words of the Five Elders, Sengoku, Garp, Whitebeard, Shanks, Monkey D. Dragon and others all changed their expressions. Their hearts were filled with shock and fear, knowing what this meant.
Although they had never come into direct contact with ancient weapons, their reputation was deeply imprinted in their minds. Each one of them was capable of destroying the world.
These three ancient weapons with the title of "God" are Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus.
Pluto is the most evil battleship in history built by the Seven Water City. One shot can destroy an island.
The Sea King is a king who only appears once in hundreds of years and has the ability to command the sea.
And this Heavenly King was the most mysterious of the three kings. They had never expected that he would be wearing a red battle armor, and that he was worn by that madman Yim. This made them feel an unprecedented crisis, as if the end of the world was approaching...
"Hand over the devil fruit tree!" In the sky, Yimu was wearing the Heavenly King Armor, with veins popping out on his face, staring at Jiang Han and yelling. His voice was like thunder, making everyone's ears buzz. His body was trembling, and the blood in his body was being sucked by the Heavenly King Armor. From his distorted expression, it was obvious that he was suffering from painful torture.
"Go to hell!" Seeing that Jiang Han was unmoved, still calm and composed, and with that playful look in his eyes, Yimu's roar with murderous intent rang out in this world. His voice was full of despair and madness, as if he wanted to die with Jiang Han.
The next moment, his body suddenly turned into blood mist and completely merged into the Heavenly King Armor. The blood mist was instantly absorbed by the Heavenly King Armor, making the Heavenly King Armor's aura even more terrifying and evil.
Rumble——!
At that moment, the sky, the sea, and the islands all vibrated at the same time, making a heart-pounding roar. The whole world seemed to be shaking, as if it was about to collapse under this powerful force.
"This breath..." Whitebeard, Shanks, Garp, Sengoku, Kaido and other top warriors looked up at the sky, their faces changed drastically, and fear appeared in their eyes. They felt the power of destruction, and their hearts were filled with fear and despair.
"Is this the activated Heavenly King?" The Five Elders looked at each other, their eyes filled with deep surprise. They had never seen such a powerful force before, and even the highest leaders of the World Government were shocked by this power. (End of this chapter)
