Just as Ron had predicted, the battle that resumed was nothing like the measured exchange before. It raged like fire and struck like the wind!
The moves had not changed, but the pace had quickened beyond measure.
They had barely separated before their attacks collided again.
There was no rest, no pause. Explosions ran together without end. Terrifying waves of energy swept across the East Blue, shattering the sky, shaking the earth, and churning the sea. It looked like...
No.
It was the end of the world!
Before the sheer strength of the three combatants, even islands in the Blue Sea, far from the battlefield and more than ten thousand meters below it, risked being shattered by the aftershocks.
Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!
A blue Meteor Shower filled the sky, lighting the horizon, but no creature had any interest in admiring its beauty.
That terrifying, oppressive presence told them they would die if they did not flee!
Though fleeing might not save them either...
BOOM!!
An explosion tore through the darkened world. Roaring black lightning spread into a curtain and blocked most of the sea crystal stone shells, but the few that slipped through were enough to spell disaster for the sea below.
Clang...!!
A piercing vibration rang out high above. Ron knocked aside Shi Ji's attack, then swept one arm through the air. Two Destruction Spears shot toward Shi Ji from behind, forcing him to dodge.
Neither side held an elemental advantage, but Divine Power was an absurdly destructive force. It could even seize Ron's Logia body. A direct hit would be more than he could bear.
And just as Shi Ji wielded the power of the sea, Ron wielded power that represented destruction and rebirth. Shi Ji could not afford to take his attacks lightly.
Whoosh!
"Hah!"
Ron breathed
