Chapter 379: Going straight for the ultimate move?
A second later, magma surrounded Mu Chen, and the shaking ground made it impossible for him to keep his footing.
Mu Chen felt rather helpless. He had never expected this-why was Whitebeard so quick to try to destroy the island?
Mu Chen leaped into the air, only to find Whitebeard following him like a shadow. Murakumogiri slashed toward his neck with a piercing shriek that tore through the air.
"We're not done yet, brat!"
Mu Chen immediately coated his body in Armament Haki. Black-and-red Conqueror's Haki enveloped his right arm as it crashed into Murakumogiri, the metallic clang making even the clouds overhead tremble.
Their Conqueror's Haki formed a visible vortex of energy at the point of impact, pulverizing all the magma and rubble around them.
"Hah!"
Mu Chen suddenly opened the Gate of Shock of the Eight Gates, multiplying his speed several times over!
Whitebeard's Observation Haki had only just caught his afterimage when a sweeping kick wrapped in Conqueror's Coating struck his abdomen.
Whitebeard grunted. His massive body flew a hundred meters backward, smashing through half a mountain!
"What?"
"Pops?"
"How is that possible?"
"How the hell did he do that?"
Every member of the Whitebeard Pirates stared in disbelief at the scene before them.
They had barely exchanged blows, and Pops had already been sent flying?
Was this some kind of joke?
"He's so fast!"
Jozu's metal arm twisted in shock. He had never seen anyone get the better of Pops in close combat.
Meanwhile, Teach hid in the shadows of the cabin, staring intently at Mu Chen's eyes through a telescope.
Those blood-red eyes grew increasingly eerie as the battle raged, as though they could devour all light.
"What eerie eyes. So that's why he's called Blood Eyes!"
