He Held the Lightning
"Vice Admiral Xia Le has stopped Golden Lion Shiki!"
"As expected of the powerful figure who captured the Pirate King Roger!"
"That's incredibly powerful!"
The sailors, their faces filled with awe, kept retreating.
Xia Le hovered in the air, looking down.
When Shiki the Golden Lion Shiki saw what he looked like, his eyes narrowed slightly before returning to normal.
In the center of the huge crater below, the Golden Lion was three feet off the ground, its body not actually hitting the ground, only a trace of blood seeping from the corner of its mouth.
Then, this Pirate, one of the three legendary figures, wiped away the blood and grinned.
"Hehehehe!"
"It seems I underestimated you!"
"Your fists are starting to resemble Garp's style!"
Xia Le flashed, transforming into Lightning, and landed on the ground.
"A skill like Conqueror's Haki Infusion actually appears in the hands of a junior like you!"
Golden Lion Shiki gripped his twin swords tightly, his gaze turning serious.
He had put aside his initial contempt and was now taking the other party seriously, regarding him as a strong person on equal footing with himself.
The power of that punch startled him; it was as if he were fighting Roger or Garp.
"The three legendary tales truly live up to their reputation!"
Xia Le said softly.
"To witness your peak moment."
"I am honored!"
With that, his body vanished once more, and amidst the deafening roar of Lightning, his figure reappeared.
He had already reached the front of Golden Lion Shiki, his outstretched right hand, fingers spread wide, aimed directly at Shiki's face.
This is incredibly fast; ordinary people simply cannot react to it.
Even a powerful being like Golden Lion Shiki had his eyes glowing red as he activated his Observation Haki.
200 Million Volts!
Xia Le spoke.
The blue arc of electricity in his palm suddenly shot out, expanded, and transformed into a huge Thunder Pillar with a diameter of ten meters, illuminating everything around it with a blinding blue light.
"Divine Punishment!"
The voice was icy cold, and the thunder roared, as if a true god were descending to punish.
"Boom!"
The Thunder Pillar expanded again, reaching a diameter of twenty meters, and roared out suddenly.
Golden Lion Shiki's pupils contracted, and he vanished in an instant, his body obscured by a blinding light as he wielded his twin swords.
Chapter 74 Grasping the Lightning
"Da da da da da!"
Rapid footsteps echoed from the Headquarters Building, followed by two figures walking out with grave expressions.
Suddenly.
"Boom!"
The deafening roar of thunder startled the two men and the surrounding navy, who all looked up abruptly.
Then, everyone present suddenly narrowed their eyes and turned their gazes toward Marineford Square.
A massive Thunder Pillar, brimming with intense heat, instantly vaporized the rainwater, pierced through the undulating surface of the Inner Bay, and struck the enormous Gate of Justice.
Without a sound, the Gate of Justice was melted away, leaving a huge hole, and the Lightning vanished in an instant.
Sengoku and Garp exchanged a glance, their expressions revealing shock.
That scene, which resembled Divine Punishment, truly shocked them.
"Report!"
Just then, a panting sailor came running up and shouted.
"Explain!"
The Road of the Sengoku.
"Golden Lion Shiki single-handedly Shockwave Marine Headquarters, C3 Unit, E5 Unit, and G2 Unit, and was completely wiped out!"
"At present, Vice Admiral Xia Le is engaged in fierce combat with the Golden Lion!"
After uttering these words while panting, the Navy took another deep breath and looked ahead at the Gate of Justice, pierced by Thunder Pillar.
"Vice Admiral Xia Le alone has stopped Golden Lion Shiki!!!"
The enormous sound caused all the naval officers present to change their expressions.
"You mean, that Thunder Pillar was emitted by Xia Le?"
"Garp asked in a deep voice."
"Yes!"
"Based on our assessment, Vice Admiral Xia Le has become Lightning Human has consumed the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!"
The Navy shouted.
Garp and Sengoku exchanged a glance, both seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes.
"Golden Lion Shiki!"
"How did that guy end up at Marine Headquarters?"
"Garp said in a deep voice."
They started walking again, hurrying towards Marineford Square.
"It must be because of Roger!"
The Road of the Sengoku.
Garp Wen Yan this, his expression grave.
He looked toward Marineford Square, where there had been silence after the Thunder Pillar.
The rain poured down.
Xia Le maintained the posture of extending one hand, with arcs of electricity flashing and crackling between his fingers.
He could no longer see Golden Lion Shiki in front of him; all he could see was the pierced Gate of Justice and the shocked, horrified expressions of the surrounding navy.
What are you all standing there for?
"Golden Lion Shiki isn't someone you can take down so easily!"
"Give up the battlefield!"
Xia Le said in a deep voice.
"This is my battle with him!"
The sailors snapped out of their daze and began to shout and retreat.
"Boom!"
A thunderous roar resounded, Xia Le slowly raised his head, his eyes revealing unmistakable seriousness and solemnity.
Indeed, one should never underestimate anyone.
As the navy retreated, they looked up, following his gaze.
"That's?!"
Oh my god!
Exclamations rang out, and countless sailors were filled with terror and shock.
Enormous Warship appeared above them in the Storm, and Golden Lion Shiki, wielding swords in both hands, stood atop the bow of the foremost Warship.
At this moment, this majestic figure looked down.
"Are you ready to face my wrath?"
"Navy!!"
Golden Lion Shiki's deep voice echoed in Marineford.
The next second, countless massive Warship suddenly accelerated, swooped down, and crashed down on Marineford Square.
"Splash!"
The wind howled, the Golden Lion's robes fluttered, and he leaped from the bow of the ship, wielding two swords, heading straight for Xia Le with Electric Flash speed.
"And you too!"
"What do you mean Roger was arrested!"
"Then show me your ability to capture Roger!"
"Otherwise!"
"Hand him over to me!"
At this moment, the Golden Lion, using the force of its downward charge, moved at an extremely high speed.
Xia Le looked up, his body crackling with Lightning, and slowly clenched his right fist.
"Sizzle!"
Inazuma of lightning, and his figure appeared before the Golden Lion.
At that moment, his right fist lashed out, and the rain was whipped upwards by the Shockwave of the punch.
"Fist Bone!"
"Meteorite!!"
The Golden Lion also brandished his sword and roared.
"Chop Wave!!"
A fierce slash roared out and collided violently with Xia Le's fist.
Black-Red Lightning, along with Golden Lightning, intertwined and flashed, then spread out in ripples.
The two stepped back, Xia Le's gaze becoming serious.
The man before him was indeed powerful; his clean and decisive strikes could easily shatter mountains, colliding with his fists.
Golden Lion also had a serious expression; he had encountered a formidable opponent, just as he had faced Garp and Roger.
Then, their eyes met, and Hotaru appeared.
Their figures vanished suddenly at the same time.
The Golden Lion's eyes glowed red as he activated his Observation Haki, appearing behind Xia Le. He brandished his long sword, golden Electric Flash crackling around its blade.
With his eyes closed, Xia Le saw fine flashes of Electric Flash within a radius of several thousand meters. All the scenes were displayed in his mind, including the splashes of water when rain hit the puddles on the ground, all of which were crystal clear.
With the aid of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit Field, it was as if he had countless eyes.
Every Inazuma lightning and every spark became an extension of his thoughts and perceptions.
He suddenly turned around and threw a punch.
"Bang!"
The longsword clashed with the Seastone Gloves, sending out a Shockwave that swept across Marineford Square like Gale. The powerful force even shattered the surrounding stones, causing fine cracks to appear on the buildings.
