A World-Shaking Battle IV

"Paramecia Fruit user?"

Upon seeing this scene, Dongze already had a guess in his mind.

The guy in front of me must have an ability related to heat, otherwise, with my current strength, even if I used the Cold River technique at full power, I definitely wouldn't have been able to escape so quickly.

"Damn it, I'm freezing to death!!"

"I'm going to fucking kill that bastard!!"

Soon, a voice came from the steam; it was Joanne Kabi's voice from before.

At this moment, he had already exited his beast form. Dongze had frozen him in ice earlier, and due to his enormous size, he suffered even greater damage. If someone hadn't saved him just now, the effort of maintaining his body temperature alone would have been enough to kill him.

Don't be fooled by his current lively appearance; he's actually already more than half-dead inside, and his strength has been greatly reduced.

"Kabi! Don't be impulsive! This person is strange!!"

He froze all five of them with a single move; this is not something an ordinary person can do. Even Aokiji might not be able to do such a thing.

"Yaan Lass, then what do you suggest we do?"

Kabi no longer dares to transform, fearing that if he gets frozen by Dongze again, his life will be in danger.

Yaan Lass's expression turned cold. "Attack together!!"

"Formation A!"

The group moved in response, and a burst of steaming heat exploded with a bang, the scalding heat obscuring everyone's vision.

It was Yaan Lass's ability; he was Devil Fruit User, which allowed him to manipulate the boiling of objects. This heat was achieved by using his ability to boil water vapor, reaching a temperature of up to 384 degrees Celsius.

It was above absolute zero and 273 degrees below zero, which is why he was able to escape from Dongze's clutches.

This time he learned his lesson and planned to directly seal Dongze's abilities to prevent him from using that move again.

The terrifying heat created a stark contrast between the extreme heat and the extreme cold.

Two jet-black Slashing pierced through the heat and headed straight for Dongze. They were the two people without Devil Fruit abilities that Dongze had sensed earlier.

In retrospect, these two must have been masters of Swordsmanship.

The power of the Slashing was in no way inferior to Hawkeye's Slashing when he wasn't Conqueror's Haki Coating.

Its power is enough to cut through gold and jade, and to shatter stone and split gold.

The two Slashing, one after the other, were timed with exceptional precision, effectively sealing off Dongze.

Dongze's expression changed slightly. He had retreated to the edge of the heatwave, but was once again struck back by the two Slashing.

"Interesting!!"

Just then, a figure, taking advantage of the heat, quickly approached Dongze.

Ordinary Observation Haki is indeed helpless against this heat, because Observation Haki can only exert its full power when one is calm.

However, things were different for Dongze, because he had a bug. He saw a figure approaching without activating his Haki, which clearly indicated that the figure was about to use his ability. Thinking of this, he smiled.

"We succeeded!!"

"Turn me into a rag doll, you bastard!!"

A voice rang out from the steam, full of surprise, which could be clearly heard even through the rising heat.

"Well done, Brennan Bevin!"

Upon hearing his voice, the group was secretly delighted. Dongze had put immense pressure on them; his strength had put their relaxed nerves on edge. They had thought they would be facing a tough battle in the end!

The last of the three ability users is Brennan Bevin, a Paramecia Fruit user, a puppet user, who can turn any object he touches into a puppet.

Even those stronger than him cannot escape it, though their suffering will be very brief!

However, when masters clash, it often happens in an instant; those few seconds are enough.

This guy is their trump card in this operation; with his abilities, he's killed countless people by trickery.

Just in case, Tian Gang sent him over.

"What a pity!!"

Before the four could get excited, Dongze's voice suddenly came out again.

"Bacchan!!"

Brennan Bevin was completely dumbfounded to see that Dongze was unharmed. His ability had actually failed on Dongze. To be honest, he was completely stunned. Ever since he ate the Doll-Doll Fruit, this move of his had been invincible.

Even among their group, those top-tier Admiral had suffered setbacks, but their special techniques weren't as ineffective as they were now.

"Hehe!"

"Sword One - Long River!!"

The next moment, a sandstorm raged, blowing away the rising heat, and a Sword Intent surged directly into the opponent's brain, just like what he had done on Fish-Man Island.

Brennan Bevin's body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, his wide eyes still filled with disbelief.

Unfortunately, he would never get an answer, because Dongze also possessed a passive ability: Forbidden Law.

Upon seeing Brennan Bevin's body, the other four felt a pang of panic and exclaimed in unison, "Brennan Bevin!!"

Just then, Dongze's voice rang out again. The four of them, who had been so calm, quickly gathered together and looked at him with great caution.

"Have any of you participated in Marine recruit training?"

"Halt! At ease!!"

"Sword Four - Hundred-Pace Flying Sword!!"

Chapter 151 An Battle of the Age Part 4)

The wind ceased, the sword moved.

A murderous intent permeated the air, a long sword hovered in the sky, and the sword's intent sealed off this space and time.

As soon as Yaan Lass three companions looked up, they found that everything in front of them had changed.

A vast Ink-Wash Painting Scroll covered the entire world, and the Sword Intent transformed into ink-colored raindrops, quickly staining the white earth black.

The sword's power grew stronger with each falling raindrop, reaching an unimaginable level.

None of the four of them could move an inch.

"Bacchan!"

"How could mere aura be this strong?"

"No! This kid isn't at the Emperor-Class!!"

"A monster Beyond the Four Emperors!!"

Now the others understood the meaning behind Dongze's earlier words: "Stand at ease" and "At ease."

That's just too outrageous.

Seeing that the group was unable to move, Dongze smirked.

"Sword Two - Cold River!!"

The power of ice has reappeared.

A blue ice-cold Flying Sword shot out, the same Shuihan from before.

Holy crap!

Four consecutive "Holy crap!"s were heard from them; they probably never expected Dongze to pull such a stunt on them.

The four were frozen again, but this time they were not as lucky as before. With 200,000 Proficient, the power of the freezing force increased dramatically, and its power was unimaginable.

This time, Joanne Kabi lost her life.

"Bite!"

Upon hearing this voice, Dongze raised an eyebrow and then glanced at his control panel again.

"Shuihan Sword Intent (Activated): max (Rule Power, freezing all things, seizing the life force of heaven and earth, freezing a thousand miles with a single thought. The blazing sun shines like fire, yet sits serenely in the frosty sky. A single point of cold light arrives, never to return for a thousand years.)"

Upon hearing Tian Gang's report, the Five Elders of Holy Land Mary Geoise turned extremely sinister.

"Tian Gang, do you know what you're saying?"

"Over the years, only one Garp has emerged, surpassing Beyond the Four Emperors! This was only achieved through a series of coincidences; it's impossible for a second one to appear!!"

"If that person truly Beyond the Four Emperors, do you know the consequences?!"

Seeing the furious look on these men, as if they wanted to devour him, Tian Gang trembled with fear, but that was the truth.

When Doflamingo informed him, he only mentioned a Yonko -Emperor-Level Combat Power; who knew it would turn out like this?

Just like the existence of the Beyond the Four Emperors, there have been very few people on the sea in recent years. At his age, he only knows one person, Garp. What the hell do you know that a Shichibukai has such strength?

If all the Shichibukai had this kind of strength, the World Government would have been overthrown long ago, and they wouldn't even be in power.

"Tian Gang, something terrible has happened! Brennan Bevin Bevin's Vivre Card has burned out!!"

During the meeting, a guard rushed in in a panic. Before coming, Tian Gang had told them that the five people sent to Dressrosa should keep a close watch on Vivre Card and report any major disturbances to him immediately.

Upon hearing this, both the Five Elders Tian Gang fell silent. With the combined strength of five Admiral, they had managed to eliminate one of them so quickly. It was now certain that Dongze's strength was at least on par with the Beyond the Four Emperors.

"So sexy!!"

"Tian Gang, look what you've done!!"

The Five Elders felt a headache coming on at the thought that bastard might come to the Holy Land and teach them a lesson.

Last time, that bastard Garp wreaked havoc in the Holy Land, which showed them the terror of Emperor-Level Combat Power.

They really don't want to use human lives to fill that huge hole now; if they do, it won't just be three or five people dying, thirty or fifty would be a normal situation.

Moreover, this is Holy Land. If they were to awaken Lord Imu, who is still asleep, they would all be in deep trouble.

Before the group could even process what had happened, the guard rushed in again, shouting, "Tian Gang, something terrible has happened! Joanne? Kabi's Vivre Card has also burned out!!"

Upon hearing the guard's report, the six people in the room fell silent. In just a few minutes, two Admiral had been killed, leaving them speechless.

"You can go out now!"

The Five Elders who wielded the sword recovered the fastest; he waved his hand, dismissing the guards.

The atmosphere in the conference room was terrifyingly oppressive.

"The situation is already like this! Let's not blame Tian Gang yet; he probably didn't want things to turn out this way either. The most important thing to do now is to think about how to solve it!"

"If they actually manage to reach the Holy Land, then our World Government will lose all face!"

"Another Garp!"

"Unless we deploy more than half of our resources at once, we simply cannot eliminate this threat!"

"Perhaps we can wait for Lord Imu to wake up. If he takes action then, things will be much simpler!"

"So what should we do now?"

"Latest intelligence indicates that Four Emperors — Kaido of the Beasts—has also gone to Dressrosa. The Sengoku has sent Aokiji to intercept him. Why don't we send Aokiji back?"

"That Beasts? Kaido?"

"If our suspicions are true, even if that creature is known as the Strongest Creature in the world, it probably won't be able to withstand it!"

"In the end, this is nothing more than Nico Robin! Since we can't have her, let's spread the word. We all know there are many old monsters living on the high seas, and those people are lawless!"

"If that's the case, then let Dongze's strength spread further. I remember when he advertised it in the newspapers before, he wanted to test his skills across the land! To become the World's Greatest Swordsman, why not let those people on the high seas fight like dogs?!"

"In that case, that kid probably won't have time to come here. By the time he does find the time, Lord Imu will probably have woken up, and we'll have some room to maneuver."

"For now, this is the only way!"

"Damn it! Why don't we have a single person among our own capable of fighting Beyond the Four Emperors? Otherwise, we wouldn't be in such a passive position!!"

"..."

Green Bit and his two companions, having endured numerous hardships, broke through the ice once more, but this time their situation was even worse than before.

Seeing Joanne Kabi, who had lost her heartbeat, breath, and body temperature, the three of them began to look extremely grim.
