Chapter 288: Destroy Heaven and Earth? Sorry, You Can't Even Raise Dust in the Tavern!
Rumble—!!!
Purple-black lightning churned madly in the clouds. The massive cyan dragon head opened its maw, resembling an abyss.
Scorching heat! Terrifying high temperatures capable of melting steel instantly were being compressed at extreme speed deep within Kaido's throat!
The surrounding space twisted due to this horrific heat. Light became blurred at this moment. The entire world seemed to be left with only that blinding mass of firelight!
"Wororororo!"
"DIE!!!"
Extreme tyranny flickered in Kaido's vertical pupils. All the rage, all the humiliation, transformed into this strike that would destroy everything!
"Bolo Breath—!!!"
BOOM!!!
A massive pillar of fire over a hundred meters in diameter, wrapped in purple lightning, crashed down from ten thousand meters high!
It was like divine punishment descending upon the world!
Before the pillar of fire even landed, the terrifying wind pressure had already pressed a huge crater into the surface of the sea! Seawater evaporated instantly! The white steam had just risen before being completely decomposed by the ensuing high temperature!
Destroying heaven and earth! This was the gold standard of the Strongest Creature on Land, Sea, and Air!
"Jihahahaha!"
"Come on! Come on!!!"
Golden Lion Shiki, floating in mid-air, watched the descending pillar of destruction. Not only did he show no intention of dodging, but he also spread his arms, revealing a nearly morbid maniacal laugh on his face!
"Smash it down!"
"Smash it down just like this!"
"Let that terrifying guy see just how much you weigh!"
Shiki's eyes were filled with anticipation. He was waiting! He was waiting for the man who made his soul tremble to take action!
As long as this strike landed, as long as this power affected that tavern—even if it was just a speck of dust—that raging cyan dragon would absolutely be turned into sashimi on the spot!
However, just as Shiki was full of anticipation, preparing to watch a good show, several extremely terrifying auras suddenly erupted at the edge of the desert island!
"What a troublesome bastard."
Red-Haired Shanks sighed helplessly. His right hand, originally resting on the hilt at his waist, tightened abruptly!
Clang—!!!
The famous sword Gryphon unsheathed instantly! A crimson Conqueror's Haki, like a substantial wave of blood, instantly wrapped around the blade!
At the same time, standing on the other side, the "Strongest Man in the World," Edward Newgate, had eyes exploding with intense light!
The Supreme Grade Blade Murakumogiri in his hand drew a semi-circle in the air. A white halo sphere instantly encased the blade!
"Gurararara..."
"Before I get my 'miracle', I can't let you destroy this island!"
"Kaido brat!!!"
BOOM!
The rock beneath Whitebeard's feet shattered instantly! That burly, mountain-like body displayed astonishing explosive power!
However, what shocked everyone present the most was not these two Emperors.
But a... pink silhouette!
Zheng—!!!
A clear sword hum sounded, even a fraction faster than the sound of Red-Hair drawing his sword!
Marine Vice Admiral, codename "Momousagi" (Peach Rabbit), Gion!
At the moment the heat breath fell, a strange red light suddenly flashed in her pupils!
That was...
The power of the Rabbit Talisman!
Whoosh—!!!
Vanished!
In the Observation Haki perception of Red-Hair and Whitebeard, Gion's figure actually left an afterimage on the spot, while her main body had already rushed into the sky with a speed that transcended common sense!
"What?!"
Red-Hair, who was about to swing his sword, felt his pupils shrink violently.
"That speed..."
"Are you kidding me?!"
Fast! Too fast! Fast enough that even the dynamic vision of a Four Emperor nearly failed to keep up! This was simply not a realm reachable by Marine "Rokushiki"!
"Konpira: One Sword Style: Judgment!!!"
In mid-air, Gion held her sword with both hands, pouring out Armament Haki without reservation! Her beautiful face was now filled with cold killing intent!
Since she chose to maintain "Justice" on this island, since she had witnessed that power which transcended dimensions, then... even a Yonko shouldn't dream of running wild in front of her!
"Divine Departure!!!"
Below, Red-Hair hesitated no longer. The Gryphon in his hand rolled up the sky full of red and black lightning, slashing fiercely towards the heavens!
"Atmospheric Quake!!!"
Whitebeard's Murakumogiri, wrapped in the power of tremors, smashed fiercely against the void!
CRACK—!!!
The atmosphere cracked! Cracks like those on a mirror instantly spread across the sky!
Three attacks capable of making the world tremble converged at this moment! Without any discussion, without any tactical coordination. Simply because of their shared apprehension and the tacit understanding that they didn't want this island destroyed!
The next second.
These three earth-shattering forces collided with Kaido's "Bolo Breath" descending from the sky.
One thousand meters above Foosha Village.
BOOM——————!!!!!
Heaven and earth lost their voice!
The clamor of gale, thunder, and waves seemed to be choked off by an invisible hand in an instant! The entire world fell into a moment of dead silence!
Immediately after came a blinding light a hundred times brighter than the sun! It stung everyone's vision!
Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!!
The terrifying sound of the explosion finally arrived late!
In that moment, the sky seemed to have a massive hole punched through it!
Red-black Haki lightning! White tremor ripples! Pink sharp sword energy! And that purple-red monstrous dragon fire!
Four distinct energies entangled, devoured, and exploded madly in the sky!
A massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky! The terrifying energy aftermath turned into a visible ring of white airwaves, spreading madly in all directions!
"Not good!!!"
Below, Marco's face changed drastically. An aftermath of this level of collision... even if it was just the aftermath, it was enough to raze everything within dozens of miles to the ground!
The pirates on the desert island were fine; after all, there were strong people holding the line. But... the nearby Foosha Village! There were a large number of civilians there, and that crucial tavern!
"It's over..."
"The village can't withstand this kind of shockwave!"
"Run!!!"
On the pirate ships anchored near the port, countless pirates watching the energy storm pressing down like a tsunami were scared out of their wits! This power was simply not something humans could contend with!
That was a natural disaster! A true natural disaster!
Seeing the earth-shattering shockwave about to swallow Foosha Village and the port completely, a trace of disappointment flashed in Golden Lion Shiki's eyes.
"Tch..."
"Blocked?"
"Meddlesome fellows."
However, looking at the aftermath about to sweep over the village, the corner of Shiki's mouth curled into a cold sneer again.
"Although the main course was intercepted, this dessert is enough to make that adult..."
But before Shiki's sneer could fully blossom, it froze completely on his face in the next second!
Buzz—!
A hum, so slight that it would be ignored if one didn't listen carefully, sounded abruptly!
Just at the moment when that earth-shattering energy storm was about to touch the edge of Foosha Village...
A... transparent barrier rippling with faint golden light emerged out of thin air without any warning!
It was like an inverted transparent giant bowl, completely enveloping Foosha Village and the surrounding port waters!
There was no earth-shaking momentum. Nor was there any violent energy fluctuation. It just quietly appeared there. Plain. Tranquil.
Yet carrying a... despairing indestructibility!
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!
The Emperor-level energy storm slammed viciously into that thin layer of light! That was a terrifying impact capable of destroying an island! That was a wave of destruction that could vaporize steel instantly!
But after hitting that light barrier, it didn't stir up even a single ripple!
No vibration! No cracks! Even the rhythm of the golden ripples on the surface of the light barrier wasn't disturbed!
It was like... a swarm of mayflies hitting an eternal primordial divine mountain!
Like a clay ox entering the sea! The violent energy seemed to be instantly swallowed by a space in another dimension the moment it touched the light barrier, vanishing without a trace!
The wind stopped.
The trees that were blown crooked by the gale instantly became still. The surging sea surface instantly became smooth as a mirror.
At the port, the pirates who had closed their eyes waiting for death opened them tremblingly. They looked at the sky above their heads, which was still somewhat gloomy but frighteningly calm. Mouths agape. Faces full of confusion and dullness.
"This..."
"What happened?"
"Where is that shockwave from just now?"
"We... we are still alive?"
No one could understand what had happened.
And inside the tavern in Foosha Village, it was frighteningly quiet.
The villagers drinking and chatting didn't even know a battle of Four Emperors level had happened above their heads!
Makino was wiping a glass. The Village Chief was puffing on his dry pipe. Several children were chasing and playing in the street.
Time was quiet and peaceful. The world was stable.
As if the earth-shattering scene just now was nothing more than a silent pantomime performed by the people outside!
