Absolute Domination, Crushing All Resistance

When Rayleigh saw the Red Hair Pirates appear, he wanted to remind Shanks to leave quickly.

But... he couldn't bring himself to speak.

Although his body still retains its five senses, his mental state seems to be 'sealed' in a box.

It was only when Oboro spoke to him that this 'restraint' was broken.

Rayleigh had already realized that Bare's so-called power was most likely related to the soul.

Rayleigh had guessed Shanks would come, but a sliver of hope lingered within him... that Shanks and the others might change their minds; he had already warned them via Den Den Mushi. Rayleigh wasn't sure if Oboro harbored murderous intent towards Shanks, perhaps wanting to control or manipulate him. After all, it seemed that if Shanks were willing to yield, he would still have immense value.

However, Bare's expression made Rayleigh think of a crucial 'problem'.

This is a topic that has been around since the rise of the God Slayer.

Celestial Dragons.

Shanks is Celestial Dragons!

This alone makes it impossible for Oboro to give Shanks any room to 'survive'.

Because Hell Pirates have been doing all along is eliminating the Celestial Dragons.

"Shanks, run!"

Rayleigh's roar echoed to Shanks' ears.

Shanks perked up and turned to look at the shore.

That voice... it's Rayleigh!

As he turned to think, something happened behind him, on the flagship of the Red Hair Pirates.

A sun suddenly appeared and burned above the main ship.

It is dusk now, and although the sun is clearly setting on the horizon, it seems as if time has been strangely reversed! Prometheus, Charlotte Linlin's Homies.

However, unlike when he was controlled by Big Mom, this Prometheus's elemental power is clearly more terrifying.

In an instant, the fire in the sky spread and grew larger under the entire sky, with an astonishing temperature, and even the nearby sea surface was filled with water vapor.

Finally, accompanied by Prometheus's sinister laugh, a sea of fire descended from the sky and crashed down onto the entire Red Hair Pirates' ship.

Boom! Just as Shanks was about to draw his sword, suddenly, a vast thundercloud appeared overhead.

Countless bolts of lightning intertwined and rained down, striking precisely at the locations of all the members of the Red Hair Pirates.

"Die!"

Zeus, let out a chilling screech in a childlike voice.

"Wrong!"

Shanks instinctively wanted to kill the two soul beings, but Rayleigh's shout flashed through his mind, and he instantly realized something.

God Slayer! Utilize the chaos created by corpses, flames, and lightning to find opportunities.

What opportunity? Naturally, it's the opportunity to kill his comrade...

Dealing with this Yonko first is certainly not a wise choice.

At this thought, the Shanks's pupils shrank to pinpoints, and he caught a glimpse of a shadow appearing behind Ben Benn Beckman out of the corner of his eye.

"Careful!"

The Shanks's expression changed, and he shouted.

As soon as the words were spoken, the dazzling light of fire and lightning engulfed the entire sea, causing everyone to lose their sight.

Ben Benn Beckman turned around instantly, ready to draw his gun and fire back.

However, the action was only halfway done.

His body trembled, and his chest felt cold.

He collapsed, his face filled with disbelief.

He had a large hole punched in his chest, and his heart was broken.

In the brief moment before his body collapsed, he saw behind him a man wearing a black round hat, looking down at him with cold eyes.

The white light of the lightning shone on the other person's face, making that indifferent expression even more chilling.

"How could this be..."

Ben Benn Beckman was somewhat disoriented.

He was, after all, the right-hand man of one of the Yonko, and he had fought against God Slayer before. Even in the midst of this sudden change, he couldn't possibly be killed so easily.

His Haki is not much weaker than Shanks', and his physical skills are even more outstanding; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to follow Shanks to this day.

But... he was fatally wounded by his opponent with a single blow.

His Haki... did manage to resist, but it wasn't very effective.

This person is completely different from the one during the Summit War.

He heard Rayleigh's shouts too.

Now I finally understand Rayleigh's intentions... but it's too late.

"Shanks... run... faster..."

Thump.

The dignified Imperial Vice-President fell to the ground with his eyes wide open in death, even dropping his signature flintlock rifle.

With a blank expression, Oboro disappeared again after witnessing Ben Benn Beckman's death.

When he appeared, he was already on the flagship of the Red Hair Pirates.

The massive ship was engulfed in flames...

On the deck, flames and thick smoke billowed out... and crew members who had not been burned to death were screaming and rolling around.

Meanwhile, the ship's doctor, Hongo, and the officer Snake, were trying to rescue their companion.

A ghostly figure appeared between the two who had just met.

Hongo and Snake felt their hair stand on end; despite being surrounded by flames, their bodies felt ice-cold.

Snake, a swordsman skilled in acrobatic dual-wielding, was about to flip his wrist to attack... Hongo was also preparing to swing his long staff.

The newcomer instantly delivered a chop to the neck.

The sharpness was so great that it seemed to cut through space itself... At the same time, a white line swept across the necks of both of them.

The next second, two heads rolled to the ground.

He died suddenly.

A drop of blood dripped from Long's fingertip.

It disappeared again.

The person targeted by Oboro once again was Lucky Roux.

The cook of the Red Hair Pirates, a fat man wearing small sunglasses.

Almost the instant the shadowy figure approached, the fat man raised his gun and fired, but the bullet only struck the afterimage.

His reaction was incredibly quick; the disappearance of Ben Benn Beckman and the others' presence had already alerted him.

After withstanding the bombardment of thunderclouds, he ignored the 'corpses' surrounding him and immediately used his Observation Haki to pinpoint the location of the God Slayer.

After firing several shots that missed their mark, he realized that the dark figure was already pouncing on him. He decisively threw away his Pistol and threw One-Punch Man with powerful Haki.

Meeting his One-Punch Man was another fist shrouded in a dark, Haki.

The difference is that the opponent used a much more advanced Haki technique... The Haki on his fist not only resembled a flowing liquid in a domineering manner, but also emitted a wisp of 'black smoke'.

Click!

Fists clashed.

In an instant, Lucky Roux's arm was severed, half of the ghastly hand bone protruding directly from under the flesh and skin.

Before he could even cry out in pain, Lucky Roux took a deep breath, his round belly swelled up, and he used his 'proud' fat, martial arts techniques, and Haki to fight a desperate defense.

Because the figure of the God Slayer, bent over and in a horse stance, had already come into view.

Even if it kills him, he will hold onto the God Slayer and make him unable to move, as long as he can block this attack.

This gives Shanks the opportunity to strike!

"God Fist, Double Strike"

Long knelt down, rested his elbow on his hand, and murmured softly.

After saying that, the two fist shadows converged and pierced into the fat man's metallic abdomen.

Bang! The next second, Lucky Roux, who was determined to win and quite confident in his physical body, had a 'big hole' punched into his fat body, leaving only a layer of skin and bones around his waist.

Behind him, the sea was whipped up by the lingering force of the punch released by Long, creating endless towering white waves.

"Lucky Roux!"

A furious shout rang out from not far away.

An unusual sniper bullet suddenly approached Long's temple.

The accuracy, speed, power, and timing of the shots are all exceptional.

Oboro's head was immediately hit by a bullet.

This caused his head to tilt to the side, and his hat fell to his feet.

Yasopp and laid down his weapon.

He hit it! He saw it... the God Slayer had been hit in the fatal spot.

He got his revenge!

Success! Ignoring his grief over the death of his comrade, Yasopp was about to sense Shanks' location and call out to him in the chaotic space.

Suddenly, he froze.

Look, the God Slayer, who seemed to have been shot in the head, slowly bent down as his head tilted, picked up the black round hat, and even patted off the dust.

As he stood upright, the location where he was hit was clearly visible.

The bullet was lodged in Long's temple, still smoking.

But there was no bleeding.

After a series of compressions on the skin of the God Slayer's temple, the deeply embedded bullet was actually 'expelled' and fell down.

As for the part of the bullet that hit, only a faint white mark of the bullet head was left.

Yasopp widened in anger, and his hands and feet went numb.

At that moment, the man's gaze also turned towards them.

He looked at her.

The man put his hat back on, and without making any visible movement, a kind of energy seemed to shoot out from his eyes like a sharp arrow, instantly blasting into Yasopp's brain.

Suddenly, Yasopp's limbs began to twitch.

Her body trembled slightly.

Within seconds, he collapsed to the ground, his life force completely gone.

One after another, the Red Hair Pirates' officers died without any ability to resist. At this moment, Oboro looked like a terrifying demon king.

He's the absolute big boss!

When faced with the challenge from Shanks and a group of 'warriors', the oppressive feeling and strength he displayed were simply despair-inducing! Oboro's attack was too deadly, and the speed of the hunt was too fast. From the time he made his move until now, only a dozen seconds had passed... In terms of the overall trend and progress of the battlefield, it was almost a 'flick of the finger'.

With a slight smile, Long disappeared again.
