One Kick for Each Supernova
The group looked in the direction of the sound and saw Atlas, dressed in pure white, appear in their field of vision. This wicked navy man was looking at them with a cold smile.
"Don't be nervous, he's just Marine Vice Admiral, not Marine Admiral. I don't believe that the four of us Supernovas can't stop a Marine Vice Admiral!"
Gellman sneered, attempting to unite with several others to deal with Atlas.
Upon hearing this, Otluk glanced at Gellman's somewhat disheveled face and felt inexplicably uneasy.
Seriously... did your face hurt when you said that, bro?
"At this point, we have no choice but to fight to the death. I've already notified my crew for backup. Let's hold on for a while, and then use sheer numbers to wear him down. No matter what, his stamina has its limits."
Uranova nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
"Good!" ×2
The Pirates captains present weren't fools, so they naturally notified their respective crews; they only needed to stall for a little while.
"You... really know nothing about Marine Vice Admiral."
Atlas shook his head slightly and strode towards the Pirates.
"Mud Swamp, Cannonball!"
"Accelerate!"
Gellman and Otluk launched the first attack, one from a ranged position and the other from close range; it was hard to believe that this was the first time the two had teamed up.
But...
Atlas continued walking at a leisurely pace, remaining unfazed by the attacks from the two.
Swish!
Otluk's axe reached Atlas's neck first, its cold gleam about to sever Atlas's carotid artery.
"Hey!"
Otluk seemed to have already envisioned the scene before him: the navy man clutching his neck, tears of regret streaming from his eyes.
"This is... too slow!"
Atlas merely shifted his neck slightly, and to onlookers it appeared as if nothing had happened, yet Otluk's attack missed!
With Atlas's exceptional reflexes and Observation Haki, even Devil Fruit User could barely get close to him.
Bang!
Ignoring the incoming mud Cannonball, he turned around and delivered a powerful leg whip strike!
It struck Otluk hard in the chest!
Suddenly, an Explosive Flame erupted from behind, and the terrifying heat and Explosion force instantly reduced the mud Cannonball to ashes.
Atlas is now basically a humanoid Dragon Talisman, capable of unleashing Explosive Flame from every angle!
"Puff!"
Otluk spat out a mouthful of blood and touched his sunken chest.
My ribs... are broken!
Sanchez and Ulasova were surprised by the swift defeat of the two, and dared not be careless. One transformed into a centaur, and the other's muscles bulged, and their clothes were instantly torn apart!
"Roar!" ×2
As if venting their anger, the two roared simultaneously, their massive size creating a sense of oppression.
"Swamp, Muddy Ground!"
Gellman, who considered himself the strongest among them, was naturally not to be outdone. He secreted a large amount of mud from his body, instantly covering the surrounding area with a disgusting Swamp, which quickly spread towards Atlas!
"Let's see how you hide!"
Almost simultaneously, Sanchez in his human-beast form and the gigantic Ulasova attacked Atlas from both sides!
Chapter 120 One Kick, One Supernovas
"Heh heh~ Let me show you... the gap between us and the world!"
Atlas looked at Sanchez and Ulasova, who were charging towards him, and smiled contemptuously. He stretched out his arms, palms facing the two of them!
Uh-huh!
Two muffled groans rang out almost simultaneously!
Atlas managed to catch Sanchez's horse hoof and Ulasova's massive, muscular fist with a single hand!
"What kind of superhuman strength is this?!"
Ulasova cried out, her face showing disbelief.
Is such a monster truly something they can defeat?
Atlas didn't care what the two were thinking. He lowered his center of gravity, used his waist and abdomen to generate power, and like Shaka throwing elephants, he hurled the two behemoths toward Gellman!
Snap!
The impact instantly turned Gellman into a puddle of mud that splattered everywhere, before transforming back into human form a short distance away.
"What two useless pieces of trash!"
Gellman's face was grim as he slowly enveloped himself in mud, almost burying most of his body underground.
You're pretty much the same!
"When..."
Gellman was startled, a sense of crisis washing over him. Large swaths of mud quickly enveloped him; this was the fastest reaction he could make in the shortest amount of time...
"Explosion!"
Boom!
Enveloped, Gellman felt a violent gust of air surge towards him, and his vision immediately became dizzy.
The Explosive Flame covered the area, and the gases emanating from the Swamp seemed to intensify the fire. Clusters of flames spread rapidly across the Swamp like a persistent infection.
Suddenly, Atlas's right arm radiated Armament Haki as he raised it to block!
Clang!
"I spotted you a while ago! Don't underestimate my Observation Haki."
Atlas looked at Otluk, who was wielding an axe and wrestling with his arm, tapped his brow with his left hand, and said somewhat flippantly.
The words had barely left his mouth when he pulled his leg back and kicked upwards!
Hoo-ha!
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Otluk sent flying backward. In mid-air, he could be vaguely seen...
His jaw... was shattered!
"You are not the tender shoots of the new era; no remnants of the Old Era will come to your rescue."
Atlas looked at the four people lying on the ground and said something that left them somewhat puzzled.
"Go! The three of us will stall for a little longer!"
Gellman glanced at Otluk, whose chin had disappeared and who had lost consciousness, and said somewhat unwillingly.
"Even if our crew is all here, can we really defeat this guy?"
Sanchez noticed that Atlas, who had been fighting them all this time, didn't even have a single stain on his pure white Suit!
Damn! Can this guy even be considered human?
Ulasova spat out a mouthful of blood, inwardly fuming and ranting.
"Ulasova, what happened to you?"
"Karmena!?"
Ulasova looked up at the sound and saw the cook Karmena, appear in his line of sight with a group of crew members.
"Run!!"
Although Karmena's fighting ability was completely inconsistent with his appearance, he was definitely no match for the man in front of him.
She now realizes that the gap between them and the world is absolutely not something that can be bridged by numbers, but she still harbors a sliver of delusion.
But it was too late.
"Captain, we received your orders and are on our way here!"
"Captain!"
"Captain!"
Before long, the members of the other three Pirates crews arrived, each looking at their captain in disarray with surprise.
"It's so lively! Thank you so much, you've greatly reduced the workload for our navy!"
Atlas looked around, somewhat satisfied.
Silence!!!
No one dared to utter a sound. Their trusted captain had actually been defeated by this young navy man alone?
For a moment, fear, confusion, and surprise surged into their hearts, and a thought that seemed somewhat absurd yet they had no choice but to believe emerged.
Today, they're all probably going to fail here...
"There are a bit too many people, let's clear the area first!"
His pupils trembled, black and red Inazuma danced wildly, and a terrifying aura enveloped the area, turning the world into a black and white scene!
Conqueror's Haki!
Thump!
The weaker crew members fell first, and then, as if a switch had been flipped, the previously densely packed group of people collapsed one after another!
"This is..."
Ulasova's pupils contracted, and her voice became somewhat distorted.
With Conqueror's Haki, she absolutely couldn't be mistaken! How could there be a man like this in the Navy?!
"Phew~ Thank goodness, there are fewer people, and my eyes are much clearer!"
Atlas looked at the people still standing there and sighed.
The only people still standing in the arena are the first mates and captains of the various Pirates crews. There should have been eight people, but Otluk, the Devil Fruit User, was knocked unconscious by Atlas's kick!
"What... what kind of monster is this?!"
The group of Pirates felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at the area that had been cleared away almost instantly.
Is this kind of tactic... also a form of Haki?
Sanchez and Gellman almost instantly recalled the Haki that Ulasova had described to them earlier.
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry to eat, so please lie down quickly!"
Atlas grinned, his white teeth gleaming in the sunlight.
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"
Kyros breathed heavily, his mind tense, his hands gripping his Greatsword tightly, his eyes fixed sharply on Glennon opposite him.
"Wow, those are some really impressive marines! Why don't you join my Pirates crew?"
Glennon looked excited; his hand holding the Rapier even trembled slightly.
Both of them were in a sorry state, with wounds of various sizes and depths scattered irregularly, and sweat and blood congealed into scabs.
Flaw!
Kyros tensed his leg muscles and instantly appeared in front of Glennon, his sword held high!
Chop down!
