Boom!
A blinding crimson beam burst forth from the mouth of the Tyrannosaurus in an instant!
Between heaven and earth, the entire field of vision was instantly filled with red; terrifying heat surged in as the beam passed, causing the air to instantly warp and vaporize.
Shano hadn't expected this move at all.
His hands were still gripping the dragon tail, and he had no time to dodge, so he simply lifted the dragon tail to block, while Armament Haki buzzed and instantly covered both arms.
Sizzle—!
The crimson beam struck the dragon tail, the scales immediately carbonized and cracked, revealing the vertebrae inside, a burnt smell accompanied by spirals of white smoke spread.
"Roar!"
The Tyrannosaurus roared in pain, its thick tail began to twist and struggle wildly.
At the same time, Shano's arms were being singed by the residual heat, causing them to sizzle; the Armament Haki blocked most of the damage, but his arms were burned bright red.
So hot!
Shano grimaced in pain, looking at his arm, seeing large patches of skin peeling like lacquer.
This sensation felt all too familiar.
This strike by Hanafuda, the temperature and lethality it unleashed were comparable to Akainu's magma unleashed at close range!
What is this, a beaver?
How can you, a Tyrannosaurus, breathe dragonfire!
If not for his quick reaction, using the opponent's tail to block most of the damage.
His arms would probably have melted away, leaving only bare white bones!
"You like spitting fire, huh!"
He got riled up too, the veins popped on his arms, no matter how Hanafuda struggled desperately, he held the dragon tail tight.
In the next instant, Shano exerted force, lifting the entire Tyrannosaurus over his head; instead of swinging it back and forth, he spun it in circles in the air, like a helicopter rotor—
He clearly felt it.
Ever since it sprayed out that beam, Hanafuda's aura had weakened considerably, and now under this rapid tormenting spin, it was visibly exhausting even further.
Buzzing!
The spin speed got faster and faster, in the blink of an eye surpassing a hundred rotations.
Hanafuda's angry roar gradually turned into intermittent wailing during the high-speed spin, and the already heavily scarred tail was almost ripped off by Shano.
"Get up there for me!"
Boom!!!
The Tyrannosaurus suddenly slipped from his hands, with centrifugal force and inertia combined, its enormous body resembling a small mountain was thrown high into the sky!
Fifty meters, a hundred meters, the altitude kept climbing—
Shano glanced upward.
And then in the next instant, slightly bent his knees, the ground shattered with a roar, shooting himself skyward like a cannonball!
Shush shush shush!
Within a few flashes, his figure instantly chased to a spot above the Tyrannosaurus, right leg raised high, the black Armament Haki surged like tide, spreading from ankle to the entire lower leg.
"You like spitting fire, then why don't you spit again, huh?"
Shano sneered, knees bent in descent, the right leg hacked down like a war axe!
"Rankyaku: Ripple Meteor!"
Boom—!!!
The kick struck heavily on the Tyrannosaurus's abdomen, a visible shockwave layer upon layer exploded out.
The chest and abdominal scales under the Tyrannosaurus form instantly dented and shattered, internal organs nearly displaced under the horrific impact.
Hanafuda's eyes reddened with pain, twisting its head fiercely to bite, but Shano endured it with Tekkai, sharp teeth scraping his shoulder covered by Armament Haki, sparking a burst of fire.
"No strength to spit fire, but still can bite, eh?"
Shano's grin grew sinister, "But such means can no longer threaten me!"
It's time!
He pulled back his right fist, a terrifying aura gathered like a vortex, the muscles on his arm bulged and expanded, veins popped like snake worms coiling.
The final blow!
"Elbaf's Spear—"
Hearing the low growl abruptly next to his ears, Hanafuda turned up in disbelief.
No way!
This guy... how could he use the same move as Kaido?!
"Overlord's Might!!!"
Boom!
Hanafuda had no time to react, the surging fist wind had already fully released towards his abdomen!
"Roar!!!"
In the midst of a piercing scream, the Tyrannosaurus's limbs went limp, the entire body crashed down with a speed faster than its ascent!
Rumble—!!!
The vast form of the Tyrannosaurus smashed into the desert like a meteorite, the horrifying impact instantly raised towering waves of sand!
The whole desert seemed ignited by a small mushroom cloud, a frenzied shockwave exploded in a ring, yellow sand surged up like a tsunami, blocking out the sun!
Clatter!
The surrounding kilometers of sand crazily collapsed, forming a giant pit with a diameter of hundreds of meters, sand granules at the edges pouring inward like waterfalls.
At the center of the pit, scorching heat kept rising, air twisted and deformed, and as the dust dispersed, the Tyrannosaurus's body returned to human form.
Hanafuda lay in the pit's center, bleeding all over.
His chest was deeply sunken, arms twisted into bizarre angles, blood mixed with fragments of internal organs kept spewing from his mouth.
"Cough... cough cough..."
After a while, Hanafuda struggled painstakingly, finally managed to raise his upper body.
Through blurred vision, a slender figure was stepping gently on sand waves, slowly walking over, looking down on him.
"See, I said when I wanted it to end, it should end, but you refused to believe."
Hanafuda squinted his eyes hard, finally seeing the opponent's appearance clearly.
At this moment, the black-haired youth was drenched in blood, his arms burnt and skin torn from the high temperature, yet his aura was even fiercer than at the start of the battle.
In those pitch-black eyes, the fighting spirit still burned, sending shivers down his spine.
Evidently, the opponent still retained a last shred of strength.
