Red-Hair's Terror

Red-Hair understood; they couldn't wait any longer.

The wisest choice is to unleash your full power and finish the battle quickly before Moke fully understands his strength.

Because Moke, this special guy, only gets stronger with each battle.

After all, among heaves of the same skill level, there are differences in physical strength, endurance, and recovery ability.

They absolutely can't compare to the Zoan!

In terms of attack, no one can match the unpredictable and varied techniques of Paramecia Fruit users.

"Divine Departure!"

Red-Hair instantly drew his sword, thrusting it at Moke from a great distance. This strike perfectly combined swordplay with Conqueror's Haki. The giant bird formed from Conqueror's Haki seemed to be stimulated, its power surging once again.

"Good timing..."

It has to be said that Red-Hair was absolutely the strongest sword strike Moke had ever seen.

Moke directly wrapped the Ryuo around the Dragon Claw, and then the giant dragon composed of Conqueror's Haki dissipated above his head. Finally, it transformed into primal Conqueror's Haki, which wrapped around his hands.

"Dragon Strike..."

If Red-Hair perfectly fused Conqueror's Haki with swordsmanship, then Moke's move perfectly fused Conqueror's Haki Coating, Armament Haki Coating, and physical techniques together.

In addition, it also has the added benefit of the Zoan -type Golden Dragon Form.

This was definitely Moke's strongest move before he used his Paramecia Absorb-Absorb Fruit.

"Boom..."

Immediately, the Dragon Claw, wreathed in Ryuo and Conqueror's Haki, clashed fiercely with the Red-Hair man's Conqueror's Haki -infused bird, which had incorporated sword techniques.

An even greater power collided between the two.

The space, already riddled with cracks, shattered like a mirror.

However, space possesses an extremely strong self-healing ability. Just as they crumbled, they seemed to be pulled back by the power of space, restoring themselves to their original state.

"It's blocked!"

The Red-Hair's pupils shrank to pinpoints, which meant that Moke could rival him Fudō his Paramecia Absorb-Absorb Fruit ability.

At this moment, one of his fingers was continuously falling.

This means today is going to be a tough battle. Most importantly, even if it's a tough battle, he might still be the one to lose in the end.

Hehe!

He couldn't help but let out a strange laugh.

It's important to know that this started from the moment he formed the Red-Haired Pirates.

It's always been him, fighting his way through. Even against someone like Whitebeard, he's never lost.

And today, perhaps, I'll be getting fucked for the first time.

His expression turned extremely solemn, and finally he said with a serious look, "I expect you to use your full strength!"

Even if he is to lose, he will lose decisively.

Even if he were to lose, he wanted to see just how strong Moke really was.

Moke arrived after dealing with Whitebeard. The fact that they hadn't received a single piece of information meant that this matter couldn't have lasted more than two days. Otherwise, given the Red-Haired Pirates' intelligence capabilities...

He initially thought Moke was being a bit too arrogant, having just dealt with Whitebeard, and now he was eager to come and fight him.

We should at least take a break.

After all, that's Whitebeard, even though he's old. He's still Whitebeard, the former world's number one. But now it seems that Whitebeard may have retired.

The two sides reached some kind of agreement.

There was no major fighting.

Otherwise, Moke's condition is far too strong. Even if an animal has the strongest regenerative ability... it's impossible for him to be like this!

Upon hearing this, Moke nodded.

He then exited his Dragon-Man Form and gave a warning. "From the very beginning, my strongest ability has been the Paramecia Fruit— the Absorb-Absorb Fruit. And it remains so to this day... So, be careful."

The next second, Moke clenched his fist.

A white halo enveloped the entire fist, and then a punch was unleashed.

"Click click..."

The space in front of Moke was blasted open and cracked.

Red-Hair Shanks reacted very quickly, brandishing his longsword horizontally.

"Clang..."

The next second, he was blasted back three steps.

"Whitebeard's Quake-Quake ability?!"

Red-Hair and Whitebeard have fought more than once or twice, so he is very familiar with Quake-Quake's ability.

"Exactly!"

Moke made no attempt to hide it, and then added, "My Paramecia -type Absorb-Absorb Fruit has already been analyzed. With each level, I gain a permanent ability. At the same time, I can absorb other substances and convert them for my own use. And I've already reached the Awakening level... so the next move will be a fusion of two permanent abilities... The power is so terrifying that even I'm afraid of it."

The moment Moke said that, the Red-Hair's pupils seemed to tremble.

He didn't think Moke was trying to scare him.

Because, at their level, there's absolutely no need for that anymore.

Annihilation!

Moke unleashed another punch imbued with his Quake-Quake ability. However, this time was quite different from the last.

"Not good!"

The moment Red-Hair unleashed that Moke, he felt a sense of crisis. A chill ran from his tailbone straight to the top of his head.

It sent chills down his spine.

This only happens when his life is in great danger.

How long has it been since I felt this way?

From the time he founded the Red-Haired Pirates?

No, even further!

He can't remember much of it now.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Red-Hair- haired man propelled himself forward, leaping backward...

He hasn't landed yet.

The space where he had been standing suddenly shattered. This time, unlike when he clashed with Moke before, the space did not recover after it shattered.

Instead, a Black Hole appeared, swallowing everything around it.

Black Hole also possess terrifying absorption capabilities, sucking everything in their vicinity into them. Anything sucked in is devoured by the Black Hole and ultimately disappears within Black Hole!

"Gurgle..."

Red-Hair couldn't help but swallow.

Even from a Black Hole, he could feel a terrifying suction force pulling him towards the Black Hole. Had he not possessed extraordinary strength, he might not have been able to resist this pull.

As a child, he followed the Pirate King Roger; as an adult, he founded the Red-Haired Pirates and eventually rose to the position of one of the Four Emperors. His knowledge and experience are undoubtedly among the best in the world.

I've seen countless people with special abilities.

Some are incredibly powerful, like Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Some are eerie, capable of turning people into statues.

Another thing that troubles everyone is his "daughter's" abilities.

But there was never a power that could make him feel fear.

Yes, it's fear.

This ability is terrifying.

"Divine Departure..."

However, Red-Hair is Red-Hair after all; his fear was only momentary, and he quickly regained his composure. He unleashed another sword strike at Moke, his Conqueror's Haki transforming once more into a large bird.

Carrying sword energy, he charged towards Moke.

Seeing this, Moke's lips curled into a slight smile. This kind of ranged attack was ineffective against him.

Not only will it be ineffective, it will also become his strongest counterattack.
