Chapter 189
"Damn it, Chris, just for those words, I absolutely cannot forgive you!"
"Spider Eight Slashes!"
Onigumo had already arrived in front of Chris, his eyes filled with murderous intent. His eight hands gripped the large sword tightly, instantly turning pitch black and covered with Armament Haki.
Without the slightest hesitation, eight hands surrounded Chris from all directions, launching a fierce attack.
The Sword Energy was overwhelming, seemingly cutting through space itself. The flashing blades and shadows constantly emitted a cold light, as if the entire world was filled with the Onigumo's fierce strikes.
This is the unique feature of the Spider-Spider Fruit: it allows for attacks from all directions, enabling it to decisively kill opponents in close combat.
This shows that Onigumo is a typical close-combat expert. Once he gets close, few people can escape.
"All eight legs were deployed, completely sealing off the entire escape route."
Chris remained calm and composed, saying unhurriedly, "The strength of Headquarters Elite Vice Admiral is indeed formidable."
"If Crocodile were in this situation, getting injured would be inevitable."
"Unfortunately, Onigumo, you are destined to be disappointed."
"Shinra Tensei!"
Chris spread his arms, and a terrifying repulsive force instantly erupted from his body, filling the surrounding space.
Boom...
A deafening explosion rang out, and everything around Chris was pushed back, with yellow sand flying everywhere and spreading in all directions.
"What!!"
Onigumo's eight-armed slashes were all deflected; not only that, but an extremely strong repulsive force pushed him away.
His body was completely out of control, and he flew backward. If he hadn't been holding onto the eight large swords tightly, the weapons would probably have been thrown away as well.
Bang bang bang~~
As it flew backward, Onigumo stepped on the sand, creating several large craters in an attempt to stabilize itself.
However, this time the repulsive force far exceeded his expectations and was completely beyond his control; he could only continue to fly backward.
With a thud, Onigumo finally fell to the ground in the desert, rolling backward several times before finally coming to a stop.
Smoke and dust filled the air, enveloping him and obscuring his disheveled appearance.
However, no weapons were seen in the desert, meaning he was still gripping them tightly and hadn't let go.
"The Captain's move is still as powerful as ever, practically flawless, hahahahaha..."
Burgess raised his arms high, looking excited, and burst into laughter.
Doc Q looked in the direction of Onigumo and said with a strange smile, "What Elite Vice Admiral? He was still sent flying. Trash."
Luo, carrying the Demonic Sword Kikoku, remained as aloof as ever. "The Captain's Shinra Tensei is indeed an invincible existence."
"Once this ability is used, no matter what kind of attack it is— Swordsmanship, Devil Fruit, Physical Arts, or anything else—it will all be repelled."
Looking in Chris's direction, Gin exclaimed with immense admiration, "This is our Captain, the World's Strongest!"
Bartolomeo shrugged, admiringly stating, "The Captain's mastery of Devil Fruit is truly godlike."
"If the Captain hadn't explained the development plan, I really wouldn't know how to utilize the Barrier-Barrier Fruit. I have to thank the Captain for all of this!"
Cavendish looked on with envy and murmured, "That move is so cool, spreading your arms out and then rejecting everything."
"Tsk tsk, no matter what kind of attack the opponent launches, just ignore it completely, and use Shinra Tensei to take care of everything."
"Amazing! Absolutely incredible! I'm so envious!"
Kuro habitually adjusted his glasses and said quite rationally, "The Captain's Shinra Tensei is the only attack that can be considered truly without blind spots."
"Once it's used, it's rejected from all sides, and there's not a single loophole to be found. It's truly terrifying."
Lafitte twirled his cane, smiled slightly, and said in a very gentlemanly manner.
"The so-called strongest defense is precisely this move of the Captain."
"I believe that there is absolutely no attack in this world that can break through Shinra Tensei, that's beyond doubt!"

Chapter 189
"Pooh!"
As the dust settled, the appearance of Onigumo was revealed.
He spat out the fine sand from his mouth, quickly stood up, his hair disheveled, and his white Justice Coat was covered in sand, turning it pale yellow.
He looked utterly dejected, like a beggar, a far cry from his previous imposing presence. He was nothing like an Elite Vice Admiral from Headquarters.
"Damn it, what just happened?"
Onigumo looked ahead and saw that the smoke and dust had not yet dissipated. He frowned, his face full of doubt.
"Even though it was surrounded from all directions, it was suddenly repelled, and the entire attack was rendered useless."
"Chris, what exactly was that Shinra Tensei just now?"
Then, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and Chris could be seen.
He crossed his arms and said calmly, "Shinra Tensei is a defensive technique I developed using the principle of repulsion."
"It's a level higher than Mirror Repulsion, capable of all-around defense, ignoring any attack."
"Onigumo, if this is all the strength you have, then you are destined to fail today."
Onigumo paused for a moment, carefully recalling what had just happened, then nodded in agreement and said something.
"When you used that skill just now, it created a repulsive force from all directions, and all attacks were deflected."
"I must say, your ability to develop the Repel-Repel Fruit to such a great degree is truly astonishing."
Onigumo's gaze turned cold, and he said with a chilling smile, "Such a promising seed, if we let you continue to grow, then justice will be completely tarnished."
"If I'm not mistaken, there must be a time interval between uses of Shinra Tensei; it can't be used indefinitely."
"As long as I seize this opportunity, I can take care of you immediately."
"Eight-Sword Style - Eight Tornadoes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his eight legs gripped the hilt tightly, turning pitch black from the hilt down and instantly spreading to the entire blade.
Brush...
Eight Black Blade were unleashed simultaneously, launching fierce slashes from different directions.
The flashing of swords and the glint of light caused the space to Tremor. The Sword Energy rippled and crisscrossed, forming eight enormous Tornado.
Each one was spiraling, some at the top, some in the middle, and some on the left and right sides, rushing towards Chris from all directions with a whooshing sound.
Its momentum was fierce, stirring up gusts of wind, flying sand and stones, raising clouds of dust, and carrying Chris away with the Sword Energy.
With its high speed and powerful attack, it's clear how terrifying this strike was.
"Onigumo, as I just said, the Six Powers have major flaws."
"Next, I'll show you what real Physical Arts are like, so don't blink."
"The Morning Peacock!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stomped heavily on the sand, and with a loud thud, dust billowed up as he leaped high into the air.
His gaze sharpened, and he clenched his fists swiftly, unleashing Inazuma -fast Tornado punches at the eight imposing tornadoes.
Swish swish swish...
Each punch unleashed a burst of pale golden flame, dazzlingly bright, like the morning sun.
Chris's punches were incredibly fast, forming bursts of flame that bathed the entire space in a pale gold hue, resembling a sea of fire.
The air temperature rose sharply, and wisps of white smoke appeared faintly. Countless water vapors quietly formed and quickly evaporated.
Bright and dazzling, like the rising sun, and also resembling a peacock spreading its tail feathers, no wonder it's called the Morning Peacock!!
Shock.
Shock.
Seeing such a dazzling and colorful scene, everyone was stunned, their eyes wide with amazement.
Such a bizarre attack method is truly unheard of and unseen; it's simply unbelievable.
"This..."
The Onigumo was equally stunned, its eyes wide open, its face filled with disbelief, as if it had seen a ghost.
Bang bang bang~~
The eight enormous Tornado were struck by countless flames, creating sonic booms that seemed to shake the very space around them.
Clearly, the golden flames were superior; the Tornado formed by the Sword Energy was like a target, forced to passively take hits.
Amidst a series of explosions, the Tornado were completely destroyed, and the Sword Energy vanished without a trace.
These flames, after destroying the Tornado, continued their momentum like Inazuma, striking the Onigumo.
The terrifying heat and the fierce punches all illustrate one point.
This move is extremely destructive; it's definitely a killer move.
"Let me see whether flames or Sword Energy are stronger!"
Onigumo bit down hard on his Cigarette, his gaze turning cold. He gripped the hilt of his sword with all eight legs, instantly Armament Haki.
"Eight-Sword Style - Unmatched Across the Eight Wastes!"
Swish swish swish...
With all eight legs joining the fray, they unleashed a rapid barrage of fierce slashes, one after another, incessantly, filling the entire space with the glint of blades.
The speed at which the blades were drawn was so fast that their trajectory was completely obscured; it was a chaotic free-for-all!
The air Tremor incessantly, as if the void itself had been cleaved open, and the Sword Energy was unleashed, creating a truly awe-inspiring scene.
Bang bang bang~~
Between Chris and Onigumo, explosions echoed continuously in mid-air, the sound deafening and reverberating throughout the entire desert.
On one side were countless golden flames, and on the other side were a dense barrage of slashes; they clashed in mid-air.
The back-and-forth exchange never ceases, forming waves of air that continuously spread outwards, making the air seem to explode and creating faint ripples.
The pressure was immense; the sand below, subjected to this powerful force, continued to sink downwards, producing a rumbling sound.
The whole scene was so astonishing that the onlookers were all shocked and unable to calm down.
"That's terrifying, it's really scary!"
Mikita's eyes widened, her pretty face filled with shock, and she said incredulously, "Is this the world of the strong? It's dazzling!"
Marianne's face turned pale, and she began to tremble. "They're all devils, none of them are human..."
Sally shook her head, sighed, and said with a wry smile.
"No wonder the president was defeated, now I understand."
"They didn't even use their full strength; the leader's defeat was not unjust!"
Similarly, upon witnessing such a breathtaking scene, Igaram exclaimed in surprise, "That's incredible! Lord Chris is truly amazing!"
Dorry threw his head back and laughed loudly, praising, "This is our Captain, a true master of Physical Arts, yay yay yay~~"
Brogy, carrying his giant axe, nodded and smiled, saying, "Speaking of which, among all the people I've met, the Captain's Physical Arts are indeed the strongest."
The women were no exception; each one looked towards the battlefield, their pretty faces showing excitement, joy, and delight.
"This is Morning Peacock! She's incredibly strong!" Nami blinked her big eyes, her smile sweet and pure, she was absolutely gorgeous.
Mei Di smoothed her light golden hair, smiled gently, and said, "Bright as the rising sun, dazzling like a peacock's tail feathers—that's the concept of the Morning Peacock."
Carina's beautiful eyes darted around, revealing a sly glint, and she said with great interest.
"It's so beautiful, the most beautiful attack I've ever seen."
