Chapter 696: Cemetery of the Strong! (2 in 1)

The movements of Yoriichi Tsugikoku, who was wrapped in the domineering aura, also became sluggish. This unfamiliar domineering aura was extremely powerful. Like Yoriichi's own domineering aura, it had already formed a substance and could have a huge impact on people.

The Conqueror's Haki of most people does not actually have such characteristics. Simply releasing the Conqueror's Haki can only be used as a means of coercion at best. If you want the Conqueror's Haki to have its due effect, you must rely on real objects.

For example, fists, weapons, etc.

Similar to the domineering aura that restrained Tsugakuni Yoriichi's actions at this moment, Tsugakuni Yoriichi has rarely seen it in anyone other than himself over the years.

Shanks's domineering color domineering has almost reached this level, but the strength of Shanks' domineering color domineering and the strength of the domineering color domineering released from the huge straw hat at this time are worlds apart.

"Is this Yimu's true strength?!"

"Is the straw hat one of the media she uses to release her Conqueror's Haki?!"

Such a thought flashed through Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's mind, and the next second, he denied the idea in his mind.

It's not that he has never fought with Im before, but judging from those few fights, Im simply does not possess this level of domineering aura.

If Im really possessed such power, there was no reason why he didn't use it in the previous fights. Although Tsugakuni Yoshiichi did not really pose a fatal threat to Im's life in those fights, he suppressed his opponent throughout the whole process.

If the other party really has such a trump card, there is no reason not to use it.

What made Yoshiichi Tsugakuni even more concerned was that the straw hat that "grew" out from the ground at this time looked extremely familiar to him.

It was just like the straw hat he saw Roger wearing back then.
Although they are all straw hats, the world is so big that the width and shapes of straw hats are so strange that it is difficult to explain the consistency of the style as "coincidence".

Behind every coincidence, there is an inherent inevitability.

This is what is called destiny.

"It's not Im's property"

"If so, what is the relationship between Im and Pirate King Roger?!"

"Roger's straw hat passed through two hands. First it was given to Shanks, and then it was given to Luffy."

"The meaning of the symbol should be the so-called 'inheritance'."

"Then who is the owner of this straw hat?"

At this moment, a lot of things were going through Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's mind. As his thoughts raced, he also glimpsed some truths hidden in history.

However, before Jiguo Yuanyi could carefully deduce, the corpse of Jialin Sheng, which had grown a new head, had already moved.

As if to cooperate with the domineering aura released from the straw hat, a black tail suddenly shot out from under the body of Garin Sheng, like an arrow shot from a bow, and pierced directly at Ji Guoyuan's head.

The opponent seemed to have a certain understanding of Tsugikuni Yoriichi himself. When attacking, he did not choose the heart, which had a higher probability of success, but instead chose the head, which was most likely to be avoided, as his primary target.

Perhaps the other party understood that even if her attack successfully pierced Tsugukuni Yoshiichi's heart, it would not necessarily kill him.
"Ouch?!"

Ji Guoyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and murmured softly.

His body became a little slow under the influence of the domineering aura, and coupled with such a swift attack at this time, if it were someone else, there would be no way to dodge the opponent's attack.

But unfortunately, it is simply impossible to rely on this level of domineering aura to restrict Tsugikuni Yoriichi's actions!
Admittedly, the domineering aura released from the straw hat is really powerful, but it is not enough when facing Yoriichi Tsugakuni!
"Om-"

An even more violent domineering aura emanated from Tsugikuni Yoriichi's body, and even a low humming sound was heard in the air. Yoriichi's domineering aura and that unknown domineering aura collided with each other, and a strong wind blew up on the battlefield without warning.

The moment the domineering aura was released, Tsugaru Yoshiichi's body completely regained the ability to move. Before the enemy's attack came, Tsugaru Yoshiichi turned his head to the side and slashed forward with the long sword in his hand quickly. The tail of the arrow that was attacking him was also directly cut off by Tsugaru Yoshiichi.

Half of the pitch-black tail fell to the ground. The broken tail was like a fish off the shore, jumping violently on the ground.

It is alive.
Ji Guoyuan flicked his finger, and a ray of golden flame fell on the broken tail. The broken tail jumped more violently after being contaminated by the flame, but after a few breaths, it became silent and was soon burned to ashes by the golden flame.

At this time, Jiguo Yuanyi became a little more cautious. He suddenly found that there were too many strange things in the holy land. Even the lifeless corpses could stand up again. After seeing such strange things so many times, Jiguo Yuanyi couldn't help but be more cautious.

When dealing with such an enemy, I'm afraid we can't even leave their corpses behind, for fear of any abnormality.

Ji Guoyuan raised his eyes and glanced at Jialinsheng's corpse. The head of a young girl that had grown back on the corpse was now covered with black hair, making it difficult to see her face clearly.

The aura emanating from the other party made Tsugumi Yoshiichi feel somewhat unfamiliar. In his memory, he seemed to have never faced such an enemy before.

A stranger?
No, it's Im!

Jiguo Yuanyi stared for a moment and came to this conclusion in his heart.

The only person in this world who could tamper with the bodies of the Five Elder Stars is probably Im. Even if the person in front of him is not Im's real body, he is most likely a clone created by Im using some means.

Having made this clear, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni waved at Sengoku who was not far away, signaling him to stay away.

Sengoku's Achilles tendon has been injured by Shanks and there is no way for it to recover in a short period of time. Through the transparent world, Jigoku Yuanyi had already seen through Sengoku's injury.

The next battle is not something that Sengoku can participate in. As he is injured, he is not only unable to provide any help to Tsugakuni Yoriichi, but may even become a burden to him.

Rather than having to distract himself and take care of Sengoku after the battle starts, it is better to let Sengoku retreat now.

When Sengoku saw Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's gesture, he did not insist on staying on the battlefield. Although he was unwilling, he understood that if he stayed, it would only increase the difficulty of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's battle.

Dragging his injured foot, Zhan Guo kicked off with his left foot and quickly jumped off the battlefield, putting some distance between him and the battlefield.

As Zhan Guo left the battlefield, Ji Guoyuan lightly danced with a knife in his hand, and without saying a word, he slashed directly at Jialin Sheng's body.

The speed of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's slash was not fast. For Tsugakuni Yoshiichi himself, this slash was just a casual attack to test the opponent's ability to move.

He wanted to know what kind of combat performance Jialin Sheng's body would have after it regained its ability to move.

Something like what was happening in front of him now might happen a second or third time. Perhaps, when Jigoku Yugen encounters Yimu's puppet army, it would be necessary to have a clear understanding and knowledge of the strength of this kind of puppet.

However, what surprised Tsugumi Yoshiichi was that in the face of his attack, the opponent not only did not show any intention of dodging, but instead raised his hand and made a defensive gesture.

"Does a corpse still have any domineering power?!"

Ji Guoyuan's expression condensed, and such a question emerged in his mind. Under his gaze, a powerful domineering aura burst out from Jialin Sheng's body, and instantly covered the long sword in his hand.

"clang!!!"

As Tsugumi Yoshiichi's slash landed on Garin Sheng's sword, a crisp golden sound rang out on the battlefield.

Even the slash that Tsugakuin Yoshiichi released casually was extremely powerful. When he blocked it head-on, a small pile of earth formed at the heels of Jialin Sheng's body, and his body was forcibly knocked back several meters by Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's slash.

However, his posture was very stable, and it seemed that it was not very difficult for him to take on Yoshikazu Tsugakuni's attack.

Very strong
Moreover, the domineering aura released from this puppet does not come from Im, but from Garin Saint himself.

This puppet actually possesses the same domineering aura as Saint Galin!
This discovery also surprised Yuichiro Tsugikoku. It also meant that the master behind this puppet would not consume his own domineering aura when controlling the puppet. If conditions permitted, the opponent would probably be able to control thousands of such puppets without worrying about not having enough domineering aura in battle.

This is an extremely terrifying power. Just imagine, in the long 800-year history of the holy land, how many powerful people have appeared among the Celestial Dragons?
If the bodies of these strong men did not disappear, but were preserved by someone in some special way and used in battle, what a powerful force this would become.

Impure World Reincarnation in the Pirate World?! Unlike Kabuto's "Nogu Zen" which only took a few years to accumulate, if it is true as Tsugumi Yuichi thought, the Holy Land has been collecting the bodies of the strong all along, then to what extent would the power accumulated in the past 800 years reach!
Ji Guoyuan felt his hair stand on end when he thought of this. Without holding back at all, his figure suddenly turned into a stream of golden light and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

The next moment, the figure of Tsugumi Yoshiichi suddenly appeared in front of Galin Sheng, and the long sword surrounded by golden flames slashed directly across Galin Sheng's body.

The strength that Jialin Sheng could exert after becoming a puppet was only 70% of his previous strength. Although Jigoku Yuichi only made a probing move, he was able to gauge the opponent's strength from his defensive actions.

In order to avoid any further complications, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni took decisive action and destroyed the puppet.

"laugh!"

Jialin Sheng's body was cut into two pieces by Ji Guoyuanyi. Suddenly, black flames burst out from the broken ends and rushed towards Ji Guoyuanyi fiercely.

The flame appeared so suddenly that it was even beyond the expectations of Yoshikazu Tsugakuin.

This should be some kind of mutual destruction trap set in the puppet's body. Once the puppet is destroyed, it will be activated. If the attacker is not careful and is hit by the black flame, he will probably be doomed.

However, although Tsugakuni Yoshiichi did not guess that the other party would set such a trap in the body of Galin Sheng, he was not caught off guard by the other party. The reason was very simple, because Tsugakuni Yoshiichi was strong enough that such a small trick could not shake him at all.

When the black flames rushed towards Ji Guoyuan, Ji Guoyuan shook the long sword in his hand, and countless sword beams instantly filled the space in front of him.

The black flames that started the explosion were also directly cut apart by the sword light. The black flames fell on the ground and soon disappeared without a trace.

At this time, the body of Jialin Sheng was slowly burned to ashes by the golden flame of Tsugumi Yoriichi, leaving no trace of him in the world.

"finished?"

Not far away, Zhan Guo, who witnessed the entire battle process, murmured to himself and breathed a sigh of relief.

When the dead body of Garin Sheng stood up again, Zhan Guo's heart was already in his throat. When facing the encirclement of Garin Sheng and Shanks, Zhan Guo was not so nervous, but when he saw Garin Sheng stand up again, his heart was full of worry.

When facing a known powerful enemy, people are actually mentally prepared.

However, when faced with the possibility of a corpse coming back to life, people often feel unsure.

Before Tsugumi Yoshiichi burned the body of Kalinsei, he was not even sure whether such an enemy could be defeated by humans.
It is not difficult to understand why there would be such huge emotional fluctuations during the Warring States Period.

"Finish?!"

“This is just the beginning”

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, who was not far away, seemed to have sensed something. After hearing what Sengoku said, he shook his head, and the expression on his face became extremely solemn.

As if in response to Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's words, a loud roar suddenly came from the ruins of Pangu City in the distance, and a huge rock directly broke through the golden flames and plowed the ground.

Tsugumi Yuichiro swung his long sword and released a slashing attack, directly chopping the flying rocks into powder, but at the same time, a wide road leading to the ruins of Pangu City appeared in front of Tsugumi Yuichiro.

At the end of this road is a dark pit.

This pit seemed to absorb the surrounding light. Even the golden flame nearby could not illuminate the pit.

"Wow."

Heavy footsteps were heard from the darkness, and the sound of armor colliding echoed in the dark pit. The footsteps and the sound of armor colliding were getting closer and closer to Tsugikuni Yoriichi and Sengoku.

When Zhan Guo heard the sound, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. He seemed to have guessed something and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Even the relaxed Tsugikoku Yoshiichi felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy at this moment, and he understood clearly:

“So this is the so-called holy land!”

"So, this is the World Government's trump card?!"

After a while, dozens of figures walked out of the pit. Some of these people were dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked like aristocrats; some were ragged and seemed to be pirates judging by their attire; some were wearing uniforms. Although they were slightly different from the navy uniforms, the seagull logo on their chests and hats still revealed their identities.

These people had different identities, but they had one thing in common, that was their exposed skin was dry and exuded a rotten smell, which made Zhan Guo hold his breath when he saw this scene.

Mummies are all mummies.

Moreover, they are all powerful and famous people who once roamed the seas!!!
Sengoku recognized two people among these people: the Red Earl who was defeated and disappeared by the former Navy Marshal Kong; and the Pirate King Roger who had been executed in Roger Town!
