Elbaph Spear: Sovereignty

During this brief stalemate, the seven Holy Knights rushed from the direction of the Tower of Justice and joined the battle.

In the distance, Dimon observed silently.

"Seven people... does that mean everyone's been mobilized?"

Of the Holy Knights, he only knew four of them.

The leader looks almost exactly like Red-Haired; he is Shanks' twin brother, Shamrock.

Among the other six, there are Gunko, Saint Shepherd Sommers, Killingham, whom I met once during the attack on Heavenly Tribute.

As for the remaining three, I don't know.

"Imu's Contract can Contract 13 people. Excluding the Five Elders and the commander of the Holy Knights, these seven are all..."

Imu's Contract is divided into three phases.

Initially, it was the [Shallow Sea Contract], a rather weak bond. The God's Blades, a subordinate organization of the Holy Knights, was the most basic Shallow Sea.

Shanks did the same thing back then, except that before advancing to the next level of Contract, he used the words of the Lord of the Coast to give up an arm, thus getting rid of this identity.

The next higher level of Contract is the [Deep Sea Contract].

All members of the Holy Knights are of this rank, including their commander, "Moonhead" Saint Garling.

Harald was the same during his lifetime; after Shanks' defection, he took Shanks' place and was promoted to God's Knights.

Of course, what happened next was that he returned to Elbaf and eventually died at Loki's hands.

The [Deep Deep Sea Contract] is the highest-level Contract, currently held only by the Five Elders, who possess both the power of "immortality" and "Undying".

It is worth noting that [Deep Sea Contract] only possesses "Undying," while the Holy Knights will still age and their membership will change.

However, the number of people participating in the Imu Contract is fixed, regardless of whether it's the [Deep Sea Contract] or the [Deep Deep Sea Contract].

Only 13 people.

Therefore, after removing the Five Elders and the Commander of the Holy Knights, the Holy Knights have only 7 members.

Dimon narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully observing the seven members who had appeared.

The main purpose was to observe three unfamiliar people.

One of them was a woman, who was tall and had two horns on her head.

She fired a laser beam from an extremely long distance as a means of attack.

"This person... I vaguely remember him. He appeared during the God Valley Incident 33 years ago. What was his name again?"

Dimon for a moment, but still couldn't remember.

For minor characters who only appear once, he's lucky if he can remember what they look like; he has absolutely no recollection of their names.

As for the other two... I don't know them at all.

A man and a woman, both looking very young, around twenty or thirty years old, likely recent additions to the group.

As for what happened to the original members, to be honest, Dimon was also very curious. Did those previous generation of knights die in the line of duty, or did they retire?

While he was observing silently, the seven Holy Knights had already arrived at the battlefield.

Seven people descended upon the training ground aboard a bandaged bird created by Gunko.

"Let's do it."

Shamrock calmly gave the order, but then leaped off the bird first.

Harald forced the Golden Great Buddha back with a single sword strike, and when he looked up, he saw Shamrock attacking him.

Without a moment to catch his breath, he swung his sword again to meet the attack.

The slender rapier clashed with the giant's greatsword, instantly unleashing streaks of black and red Inazuma.

Amidst a thunderous roar, the two Conqueror's Haki collided violently, tearing the sky apart once more.

"Harald, it's been a long time."

Shamrock spoke as if catching up with an old friend, "The last time we met was on the day you were promoted to God's Knights. Back then, at the Knights' Temple Shangala, you swore an oath of loyalty."

"Shamrock, what are you doing here!"

"That's my line, Harald. What are you doing? Come back to the Holy Land with me, and your sins can still be forgiven."

"Ridiculous! I only ended up like that because I thought too highly of your World Government and you Celestial Dragons!"

Harald Wrath, as if a swindler had cheated him out of all his money and was now trying to cheat him a second time.

What will they try to scam this time?

"Get out of here!!"

Harald's Conqueror's Haki surged dramatically, and the giant's greatsword sent Shamrock flying as if swatting a fly.

The terrifying sword energy almost spanned half the island, splitting the sky and earth in its wake.

Like a long silk painting, torn in two from the middle.

The Tower of Justice in the distance, and even a mountain peak further away, were neatly sliced apart by this sword.

"Commander!"

Saint Shepherd Sommers broke out in a cold sweat. These monsters' attacks were imbued with Conqueror's Haki, making their Undying less effective.

What are you all standing there for?

Gunko remained calm.

Seeing this, the other five had no choice but to grit their teeth and jump down from the birds to join the hunt for Harald and Rocks.

At the same time.

Dimon took a step to the left, tilting his body slightly. In the next instant, Shamrock flew past him, rolled a long distance on the ground, and finally crashed into a pile of rubble.

"To have mastered Conqueror's Haki's Entanglement at such a young age, truly remarkable, Shamrock."

Beneath the ruins, Shamrock abruptly pushed aside the rubble and slowly stood up.

He first glanced at Harald in the distance, then turned his gaze to Dimon nearby.

Who are you? Do you know me?

I've only ever seen your face.

Dimon smiled slightly, his gaze gradually moving from the other person's face to the sword in their hand.

A rapier that has eaten Mythical Zoan Fruit.

Zoan, Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Cerberus Form.

What a waste to feed Mythical Zoan to a sword.

"I feel a connection between this sword and me. How about you give it to me?"

"..."

Shamrock was momentarily speechless. He stared silently at Dimon, Observation Haki that the man possessed an extraordinary aura.

That's to be expected; to stand unharmed and watch the show in such a chaotic battlefield requires considerable strength.

Your silence means you agree.

"A boring joke."

Shamrock wore a poker face, and with a slight movement, he vanished from the spot.

Dimon gripped the Konpira at his waist with his backhand, turned around, drew his sword, and blocked the attack.

Thump!

The collision of the two Conqueror's Haki unleashed a powerful burst of black and red Inazuma.

"Conqueror's Haki Entanglement...!"

Shamrock's expression changed slightly, his voice filled with astonishment.

How can just anyone possess this ability?

"You want to fight me?" Dimon's lips curled into a slight smile. "I wonder who's stronger between you and your brother?"

Shamrock composed himself. He had intended to easily deal with a commoner, but now it seemed that the other party was an unknown powerful figure.

"Are you a selector for the World Military Draft?"

Dimon didn't answer, a mischievous smile spreading across his face:

Watch your step.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shamrock suddenly realized something was wrong.

He felt as if he were standing on an incredibly smooth floor, his entire body lost its balance, and he fell forward uncontrollably.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Dimon delivered a knee strike, his right knee slamming into Shamrock's chin.

With a dull thud, Shamrock's head was knocked back, the blow imbued with Conqueror's Haki causing his consciousness to waver.

At the same time, the rapier in his hand suddenly slipped from his grasp and was caught by Dimon.

"Go to the ends of the earth."

After obtaining the sword, Dimon pressed his advantage, turning around and kicking the man away.

Shamrock was completely unable to react effectively. He tried to regain his footing, but the incredibly slippery, unyielding feeling returned as soon as his shoes touched the ground.

He slipped again, and while losing his balance, he was kicked away by Dimon.

The person glided hundreds or even thousands of meters across the frictionless ground until they disappeared from sight while gliding off the training ground.

"A zero-friction field is really useful. Even a seasoned expert would be like an idiot if suddenly faced with this situation."

Dimon couldn't help but laugh.

As Red-Haired Shanks' twin brother, Shamrock's strength is not much weaker than Red-Haired'.

Even so, suddenly encountering the Smooth-Smooth Fruit's power makes him look like Joker.

"Good knife, it's mine now."

Dimon stared at the rapier in his hand.

Suddenly, wisps of black energy were released from the sword, transforming into the shape of a three-headed dog that lunged at Dimon.

"A mere sword dares to seek its master?"

Chapter 207 The Elbaph Spear - Hakai

Dimon, shrouded in Conqueror's Haki, delivered a powerful punch that sent stars flying through Cerberus's eyes, causing it to whimper like a puppy.

It immediately shrank back into the sword, cowering and no longer daring to be presumptuous.

Having acquired another fine knife, Dimon was in high spirits, as if he had found it while out and about. His only regret was that he hadn't managed to snatch the scabbard along with it.

"Let's put this knife away for now," Dimon said, looking up at the distant battle.

With the appearance of the Holy Knights, Rocks and Harald lost their will to fight and prepared to retreat.

The two fought and retreated, moving quickly towards the port.

Dimon drew his Jijue and tossed it into the sky, then leaped onto the blade and leisurely flew high above to watch the battle.

On the other side.

Shamrock, who was kicked away, finally stopped when he crashed into a ruined tent.

"Eliminating friction on the ground... that's really tricky."

He calmly analyzed the situation and quickly guessed the ability that Dimon had used.

However, knowing this was one thing, but he couldn't think of a solution for the time being. Even with his Haki protecting his feet, he still couldn't stand steadily.

Observation Haki to sense the state of the battlefield, he detected that Rocks and Harald were moving towards the port, but Shamrock did not rush to act.

He slammed his palm into the ground from a distance, the Armament Haki released from his palm striking the atmosphere, and the recoil propelled him into the air.

The next moment, he found his landing spot and stood steadily on a half-collapsed wall.

His gaze was fixed on the direction of the port. Shamrock remained calm and composed, showing no intention of giving chase.
