Gawain didn't understand the techniques behind the Nation Conqueror Art, but he understood what pressure was!
Logically speaking, neither Dorry nor Brogy could possibly be at the monster level!
Their strength is at best somewhere between a Yonko commander like Katakuri and Jinbe like Shichibukai.
It's highly likely that it can only barely withstand a few moves from a monster-level expert.
But even this giant, whose strength was comparable to that of Shichibukai, used the Nation Conqueror...
Gawain felt as if he were facing Rayleigh's Styx!
Perhaps this attack doesn't even reach the level of Rayleigh at his peak.
But to allow someone at the level of Shichibukai to unleash a monster-level, or even Emperor-level, ultimate attack.
This is outrageous enough!!!
Therefore, faced with this attack, if it were up to Gawain's style, he would have already fled a thousand miles away.
Can the Nation Conqueror catch up with his Inazuma speed?
But this was a blow that Gawain neither wanted to dodge nor could dodge!
The lightning giant Gawain gripped the lightning blade with both hands, and in the next instant, he silently charged towards Nation Conqueror, blade in hand!
The shockwave from the Nation Conqueror before us is nearly four hundred meters wide!
But so what?
As Gawain approached Nation Conqueror, he suddenly plunged his lightning-powered longsword into the ground.
The next moment, the lightning he had gathered, which contained most of his strength, converged wildly around the long sword he had stuck in the ground.
Gawain remained silent.
He wasn't particularly immature or had any special insights, and he didn't want to give his actions any fancy names!
In the midst of this silence, continuous thunderclouds bloomed in the sky, descending directly towards Gawain's location.
Lightning tore through the air, instantly transforming a radius of 200 meters Miss Tuesday Gawain into a domain of thunder.
In the next instant, the magnetic force, accompanied by thunder, began to take effect, and within a three-kilometer radius of Gawain, the thick earth was completely overturned!
Countless metal particles flowed out of the earth, and the black-gold torrent of metal resembled an ancient, rugged serpent from the wilderness, rapidly swirling half a circle around Gawain.
Halfway through the circle, a torrent of metal, reaching from the sky to the ground, spread out in front of Gawain.
The instant they spread, a thick Armament Haki covered the center of the metal torrent as much as possible—the part that was about to collide head-on with the Nation Conqueror!
Armament Haki is just the beginning, because Gawain's Armament Haki is really not that strong.
But Conqueror's Haki...?
The next moment, Gawain's pupils contracted sharply, and his round pupils turned completely into dark gold rings.
With a change in his pupils, Conqueror's Haki rapidly spread throughout the Little Garden, centered on Gawain!
Even on the Dark Bird Ship, which is about nine nautical miles from the coastline of Little Garden, countless Black Ice Terrace soldiers fell to the ground.
This is merely an additional effect of Conqueror's Haki. Gawain, who has the best mastery of Conqueror's Haki, has already mastered the advanced techniques of Conqueror's Haki entangling.
With the help of Gawain's immense Conqueror's Haki's Haki, which was comparable to Red-Haired Shanks' terrifying quality five years later, the massive torrent of metal in front of Gawain was completely Conqueror's Haki coating!
At the same time, the omnipresent thunder permeated the torrent of metal, giving it a touch of the blue-purple and white of Rumble-Rumble Fruit, as it was covered with black and gold patterns.
At the same time, electromagnetic fields cause metal molecules to resonate at high speeds to counteract the impact force, while also giving the metal torrent a certain amount of high temperature.
Most importantly, when Gawain's abilities are fully unleashed.
All of the above happened in the blink of an eye!
And just after Gawain had fully armed himself...
Sizzle sizzle...
In an environment so quiet you could hear a pin drop, the shockwave from the Nation Conqueror collided with Gawain's defensive layer.
The clash, sharp as needles clashing against wheat awns, now seemed to be played out in slow motion countless times, clearly appearing in Gawain's eyes.
Boom!!!
Gawain's whole body jolted violently as the shockwave from the Nation Conqueror slammed into the torrent of metal.
Sizzle!!!
Thunder roared, blinding sparks and flashes of light illuminating the forest in the Little Garden, where a blue-white Rumble-Rumble Fruit!
Thump!!!
A muffled thud.
Spit! Spit! Spit!
The Thunder Giant Gawain slid about thirty meters across the ground...
Gawain's eyes suddenly turned red, and even in his Rumble-Rumble Fruit state, he felt as if his whole body was falling apart.
Fortunately, even after retreating thirty meters, he still had enough strength to stand firm.
And the moment he stepped back and finally regained his footing...
Time and air around us seemed to have stood still.
That eerie stillness lasted only a moment. A moment later, the torrent of metal in front of Gawain, like a reversed Milky Way or a bucket of water that had been violently poured out, rushed toward Gawain at high speed!
The metal uncontrollably splashed towards Gawain himself!
Gawain then raised both hands and fiercely blocked in front of himself. Armament Haki rapidly permeated the color of his lightning hands, turning the azure lightning into a dark black.
Only a small portion of the torrent of metal struck Gawain's arms; he managed to absorb the remaining kinetic energy of the torrent, sacrificing minor injuries to Gawain arms.
And the areas that Gawain didn't block...
Call out!!!
It was like a typhoon passing through, or like someone fanning a handful of ashes with all their might.
Centered on Gawain, the metal particles spread out in a fan shape all the way behind him!
Splash splash!!!
The sound of metal particles hitting the trees was like rain hitting glass.
Click!
The way the ground was torn up and smashed looked even more like someone had broken their teeth!
At that moment, the Little Garden trembled violently, so violently that Brogy, who had already run far away, turned back in shock!
The shock made the people on the Dark Bird Ship look up at the sky in astonishment!
The sky directly above the Little Garden was disturbed, the clouds had lost their original shape, and a cone-shaped window appeared in the sky, stretching far into the distance.
And as the dust gradually settled and the ear-splitting tearing sound completely disappeared...
Gawain hovered in the air, silently looking around...
The ground beneath their feet had been torn into nothingness at a depth of over eighty meters.
The surrounding trees created a vacuum of about 1,200 meters.
This was just the beginning, because the impact spread outwards from him in the distance.
Therefore, this shock wave was eleven cone-shaped, and Gawain's location was merely at the tip of one of the cones!
Gawain turned around and saw that behind him, the shockwave extended for a distance of about nine kilometers, and the width of the shockwave's closest point was...
It's about the same length as it!
So, Gawain took a deep breath.
Then he lowered his arms, reverting from his giant form back to his most basic form.
Standing at approximately 2.28 meters tall, he looked at the blood streaming down his hands.
He simply flicked his hands slightly.
"Nation Conqueror, is that it?"
"No wonder it's a terrifying move capable of piercing an entire island!"
Having said that, Gawain, now back to his original form, suddenly transformed into lightning and charged towards Dorry.
In the instant he sprinted forward, all the blood that dripped from him transformed back into wisps of lightning!
Accompanied by a thunderous sound like the chorus of thousands of birds, Gawain, slightly larger than that of an ordinary person, slammed hard into Dorry's jaw, which was agape in astonishment!
Thump!
With a muffled thud, the massive Dorry flew into the sky.
Before Dorry could adjust his position, Gawain teleported to Dorry's feet and suddenly spread his hands, creating two giant hands that grabbed Dorry's ankles!
Feeling the numbness in his ankle, Dorry roared in shock.
"How come I can't see you even with my Observation Haki?!"
"Then feel it with your body, Dorry."
Gawain calmly responded to Dorry's words, and then Dorry was directly thrown over the shoulder by Gawain's two huge hands with great force!
Boom!!!
Dorry's body landed in the shockwave crater of the Nation Conqueror, making the already deep crater even deeper.
As for Gawain...
The next instant, he was already waiting at the spot where Dorry, carrying the Rokumei Kotetsu!
Dodging the flying sand and stones, Gawain's feet landed on Dorry's face.
His left hand transformed into a giant hand, his fingers gripping Dorry's hair tightly, while his palm pressed Dorry's forehead firmly to the ground.
His right hand was firmly gripping Rokumei Kotetsu.
At this moment, Rokumei Kotetsu, completely covered in Armament Haki, was gently pressed against the front of Dorry's pupils!
Silence fell over the room, broken only by Gawain's slightly rapid breathing and Dorry's muffled groans of disbelief.
In the silence, Dorry swallowed hard.
"Are you Celestial Dragon yourself?"
"Yes."
Hearing Dorry's words, Gawain responded softly, which earned him a relaxed laugh from Dorry.
Dorry suddenly burst into laughter.
"Haha, if all Celestial Dragon were like you, I'd love your race to death!"
So it turns out you guys aren't just good at using someone else's authority to control others and do things for you.
Among you are some like you, true warriors who can face Nation Conqueror head-on and make me taste the bitterness of defeat!!!
At this point, Dorry's body trembled with excitement. Seeing this, Gawain had no choice but to move his sword further away from Dorry.
Sensing Gawain's kind gesture, Dorry chuckled and continued.
"Exciting, truly exciting! If it weren't for the power of the Nation Conqueror, I would have had a hard time lasting three moves against you!"
It can actually make me lose my Observation Haki; that's a terrifying ability!
Without Observation Haki, my naked eyes are simply not enough to detect your speed. As for my ears, if I had sufficient hearing, perhaps I could find a way to deal with you.
But I didn't, haha, so I really lost badly!!!
With a loud roar, Dorry excitedly spread his arms wide, lay on the ground in a starfish position, and happily said to Gawain.
"Come, warrior, enjoy your spoils; it's time for you to end my life."
Haha, what an exciting life! My footsteps have left Elbaf, my gaze has extended to the Four Blues, and battle has accompanied me from beginning to end. I have enjoyed battle for over a hundred years.
I'm already completely satisfied with this kind of life, hahaha!!!
"Dorry!!!"
Just as Dorry finished speaking, Brogy's voice suddenly rang out from afar. Brogy burst out of the forest and looked at Dorry lying on the ground in disbelief.
Upon hearing Brogy's voice, Dorry excitedly turned his head slightly. He first gave Brogy a hearty smile, and then spoke as happily as a child.
"Haha, Brogy, you've come at the perfect time!"
The defeat and death of the great warriors of Elbaf just needs a guy like you to watch!
At this moment, our long and protracted battle has finally come to an end!
Brogy, my brother!
I can finally face death with equanimity, instead of being afraid to win and unwilling to lose as I have been for the past ninety-seven years!!!
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Gawain frowned slightly, then gently Rokumei Kotetsu back a little.
Meanwhile, in the distant forest, several figures streaked through the air and landed precisely around the deep crater created by the Nation Conqueror.
Gradually, within just a few seconds, more and more people gathered around.
Issho, Rayleigh, Gion, and Zephyr took the lead, while Hancock and the others arrived a few seconds later, next to Gawain.
Upon seeing the situation, Rayleigh's serious expression crumbled, and he grinned.
"Captain, that was quite a shock!"
You must be very happy to have won, haha!
"Indeed!"
Gawain smiled and nodded to Rayleigh, then gently Rokumei Kotetsu and gracefully sheathed the short sword.
Indeed, given Gawain's current height, the Rokumei Kotetsu is increasingly resembling a short sword.
After sheathing his sword, Gawain used lightning to appear out of thin air in front of Rayleigh.
Noticing Gawain's injured arm, Hancock gently bit her lip.
She desperately wanted to tell Gawain to take good care of himself.
But then I thought about Gawain had just stood on the face of the Titan, brandishing his knife and threatening it with his cool demeanor.
Hancock blushed...
Never mind, let's talk about that later. Let's focus on getting my dear treated first.
A moment later, Hancock and Gion each took one hand and began to treat Gawain's injuries.
Gawain stood there and shouted at Dorry.
"Hey, buddy, get up."
"I'm not a giant. I don't have your traditions. I don't take the life of everyone who loses to me."
At this point, Gawain pondered for a moment, then smiled.
"Also, your Nation Conqueror was really too powerful, haha!"
Dorry, get up right now! I don't want to never see that move again!
From the distant pit, Gawain's last words could be heard.
He had intended to reprimand Gawain for his indecisiveness, but he finally got up from the ground.
He groaned as he shook his aching, numb, and swollen arms.
"Of course, the Nation Conqueror is a skill passed down through my nation, Elbaf. Only those who master the Nation Conqueror's Giants can be called warriors!"
Since you still want to see the Nation Conqueror, no problem, haha!
Thank you for keeping me alive. Once I've recovered, we can practice together again tomorrow!
As he spoke, Dorry slowly got up, and as he stood up straight, he looked toward Gawain's side.
Upon seeing this, Dorry's face suddenly lit up with excitement.
"By the Sun God above, how can you have so many powerful figures by your side!"
The aura of these guys has completely exceeded my expectations!
Brogy, come and see the divine gift! Such a large group of powerful warriors have arrived in the Little Garden!
Haha, looks like we're in for a good, exciting fight now!
"Yeah, haha!"
Seeing that Dorry was no longer in mortal danger, Brogy relaxed. He jumped into the pit, grabbed Dorry by the shoulder, and jumped out of the pit.
After releasing Dorry, Brogy grinned excitedly.
"This is so unfair!"
Why should only Dorry be the one enjoying it!
Hey, guests, at least pay some attention to me!
Let's fight! Let's fight now!
I've been looking forward to taking on the enemies of the Nation Conqueror for far too long, hahaha!!!
Amidst the laughter, Brogy pulled out his axe, but no sooner had he pulled it out than...
His stomach then emitted a thunderous rumbling sound...
There will be another one later, posted at 1:30 AM.
From now on, I will try my best to maintain a pace of one chapter every day, starting at midnight and continuing after 8 pm.
Hope you enjoy watching.
