Visual Clash (2)

"Monkey D. Dragon, Bartholomew Kuma!"

Standing atop the ruins, Ye Chen looked down at the dragon and bear below, his brow furrowed, for the Ye Chen's appearance had taken him by surprise.

"Pop"

Just then, the bear behind the dragon patted its chest, and a faint red halo left its body and was held in the bear's hand.

The bear's movements caught Ye Chen's attention; if he wasn't mistaken, this must be the bear's injury.

The Paw-Paw Fruit is indeed one of the reverse abilities. Not only can it perform near-instantaneous teleportation, but it can also deflect some attacks and injuries. It's practically an Indian panacea.

The bear's actions also slightly surprised the dragon.

"To be Vice Admiral at such a young age, you must be on the same level as Sakazuki. I've met Borsalino, Kuzan, and Sakazuki. The last one named Ye Chen must be you."

Turning his head, Long looked at the badge on Ye Chen's chest. With just a little information, he could deduce Ye Chen's identity.

"As expected of Sakazuki's strongest monster, it once made them breathless!"

After jumping off the ruins, Ye Chen stood in front of the dragon, lost in thought.

"So, may I ask, what brings this naval monster here? Is it to capture me?"

Long crossed his arms and stared at Ye Chen with a relaxed expression, because no matter how you looked at it, Ye Chen had no chance of winning.

"Capturing you is something I'm considering. After all, as the leader of the Revolutionary Army, your value far exceeds that of the guy next to you!" Ye Chen looked at Long with great interest, because this guy was one of the most mysterious figures in One Piece.

Ye Chen's words caused Long, who had been crossing his arms, to lower his arms to his sides, and a faint killing intent began to appear in his eyes.

"How did you know I was the leader of the Revolutionary Army?!"

It's important to understand that the current Revolutionary Army was founded by Long only a few years ago. Before that, no one knew his identity, and he asked himself if he had ever given himself away.

"I know far more than you do. It seems you came to subdue Bartholomew Bear, and you succeeded."

Ye Chen fired shots back and forth at the dragon and the bear, a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"It seems I have no choice but to keep you."

With a ruthless expression, a powerful will emanated from the dragon, radiating Conqueror's Haki.

Beside him, Xiong looked on incredulously, because he had no idea that the dragon possessed Conqueror's Haki.

Vanished, the dragon reappeared before Ye Chen, leaning to one side, a gust of wind flying everywhere, its right foot generating a sonic boom as it lashed out at Ye Chen.

"Boom!"

A dark red bolt of lightning struck, changing the color of the wind and clouds. The entire sky roared instantly, and gusts of wind whipped up the earth, revealing the barren rocks and sand, forming terrifying waves.

With one kick, they firmly blocked the dragon's attack. Between the two, the air surged and endless dark red lightning spread, causing their hair to fly up.

In the midst of this impact, the bear used one hand to shield itself, then vanished, disappearing far from the center.

"You actually possess Conqueror's Haki."

Incredibly, ripples erupted from beneath their feet. The dragon stared wide-eyed at Ye Chen, who was so close at hand.

With a cold expression, Ye Chen didn't answer, but instead clenched his fist, showing Long what he meant.

With a dull thud, sand and dust flew everywhere. The dragon's right hand transformed into a claw and slammed heavily into Ye Chen. Almost simultaneously, their knees collided, and a powerful force surged into the sky, causing a cataclysmic upheaval.

With their feet firmly planted in the ground, the two of them moved sideways, their faces grave.

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes as he looked at the dragon's claws covered in blue scales.

Unbuttoning his coat, Ye Chen stretched his body, his eyes instantly turning ruthless.

The tremors continued, the sky was shrouded in clouds, and bolts of lightning struck down. Two meteors, each with a flamboyant tail, collided violently.

A massive chasm tore the island apart.

The wind and clouds roared, thunder raged, and a series of deep, drum-like sounds shook the earth, relentlessly bombarding and destroying everything in their path.

In mid-air, the dragon was covered in blue scales, its hands and feet transformed into powerful dragon claws, and a thick blue tail on its back produced sonic booms from time to time.

He was like a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex, with explosive power hidden beneath every scale.

With a powerful uppercut, Ye Chen launched a whirlwind of punches, leaning back as his elbow, now black as ink, pressed down directly towards the dragon's chest.

With his arms crossed, the dragon blocked Ye Chen's elbow. An explosive Azure Scale Dragon Kick was sent flying towards Ye Chen. Ye Chen sidestepped, narrowly missing the target, and spun around, unleashing a powerful kick. With a dull thud, the two disappeared from their spot and reappeared in a pile of ruins.

Fists, elbows, knees, tails—every part of their bodies became weapons of attack. Before they knew it, blood was spilling from Ye Chen's mouth.

The two were moving very fast, but judging from the current situation, Ye Chen was at a disadvantage.

A massive Shockwave crashed down, causing the entire shattered ground to collapse, creating a crater a hundred meters in diameter that split apart rapidly. Falling rocks and dust streaked through the air, and two indistinct shadows appeared in mid-air.

With a single punch, blue scales flew everywhere, blood gushed from the dragon's mouth, and its face was contorted in pain. Even so, it managed to retaliate. Its five fingers bent, and as flesh and blood flew off, five deep claw marks appeared on Ye Chen's chest, revealing the bone.

The two of them pushed their Conqueror's Haki, Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and physical techniques to their limits.

The knee struck Ye Chen, who was bent over, spitting blood from his mouth. A gust of air shot up from his back and pierced through the clouds.

Clenching his fist, veins bulging, Ye Chen punched the dragon in the abdomen. The dragon groaned and stopped its attack.

"Boom boom"

The figures were indistinct, each gripping the other's knees, which were blackened. Each impact felt like Meteorite crashing into each other. Their faces were ruthless and covered in blood as they rose into the air and collided with each other.

The howling air currents formed Shockwave that spread outwards in concentric circles from the center of the two people.

Pure physical collision, blood splattering, a visual feast that resonates endlessly.

"Bang bang"

As the dragon crashed down, the ground shattered, and the dragon, pressing Ye Chen's head, sank deep into the ground, sliding for thousands of meters like a speeding train.

The stinging pain contorted Ye Chen's face as he leaped up with his right foot and slammed it heavily into the dragon's belly, creating some distance between them. But the next moment, they were locked in combat again.

In the distance, the bear clenched its fists and moved swiftly without blinking, leaving afterimages and echoing with deafening roars everywhere.

In mid-air, Ye Chen gripped the dragon's tail with both hands, spinning rapidly and creating gusts of wind that crashed down. With a roaring meteor, the shattered ground split into pieces, countless hills rose up, and a massive, overwhelming surge emerged.

Panting heavily, Ye Chen collapsed to the ground, his face covered in blood. His body was tattered and covered in wounds, especially the five scratch marks on his chest, which were dripping with blood.

"Cough cough"

A coughing sound rang out. In the ruins, the dragon's scales were peeling off, and it was spitting blood incessantly. Moreover, the wounds on its body were visibly healing.

The two have been exchanging blows until now, and from any perspective, Ye Chen has fallen into a disadvantageous position.
