Chapter 1672 The Man King Appears
Itsumade in the sky clearly did not expect that Kidd could construct such an astonishing metal dome out of thin air so quickly.
Its feathers, covered in gunpowder, were firmly blocked by the thick, rough metal layer and could not be burned through.
This startled him: This kid had mysteriously disappeared before, but now he has reappeared, and his strength seems to have increased abnormally!
This intensity increase curve is simply too unbelievable.
Even the most exceptional genius needs time and opportunities to grow; it cannot be achieved overnight like climbing stairs.
"Disappeared suddenly, then reappeared suddenly..."
"Who exactly is helping you behind the scenes?"
Would the pirates on land be foolish enough to tell the truth about the enemy's spying?
Even if the existence of "Number Eight" is not an absolute secret, they would never reveal it to the Five Elders.
This secret channel, capable of leveraging life to gain power, must be firmly held in the hands of our own people.
Kidd looked up, his single eye flashing with a fierce light, and a savage grin spread across his face. "I'll burn paper money to tell you this after you're dead!"
His one arm, raised high, was loosely clenched with five fingers, and then—boom!
The enormous, arched metal dome, along with the molten iron flowing over it, was somehow controlled by him to close in and envelop it at an incredible speed.
In an instant, a huge, airtight metal sphere was formed, completely enveloping Itsumade in the sky. The inner wall of the sphere was made of molten metal that had been melted by the flame feathers and reached extremely high temperatures.
The flames that Itsumade released are now imprisoned in this small space, where the high temperature and limited air create a deadly furnace.
From inside the metal sphere came the sharp, piercing cry of the strange bird, along with dull thuds. It frantically lunged left and right, trying to break free of the metal cage.
The metal sphere deformed continuously under the impact of the enormous internal force, bulging out one terrifying bulge after another.
But whenever a metal wall is about to be breached, more metal minerals from the ground below are forcibly drawn up by Kidd's magnetic force and fly up to precisely fill the damaged area, ensuring that the metal cage always maintains its overall structure.
"Don't be so arrogant, kid!"
Just then, a rapid and heavy thud of hooves, like the beating of war drums, came from afar and grew closer.
A condensed, flying slash swept diagonally upwards from the ground, precisely striking the massive metal sphere in mid-air.
The thick metal sphere was actually cleaved open by this strike, creating a huge crack, from which molten metal gushed out.
At the same time, a slightly disheveled figure with charred feathers also took the opportunity to shoot out from the crack; it was Itsumade who had escaped.
Nasujiro Sei (Horse Bones) had already arrived on horseback, the first generation Kitetsu in his hand exuding a chilling ghostly aura.
"Attack together! Don't give them any chance to breathe!" Nasujiro Sei's voice was cold and firm, leaving no room for argument.
"Lord Im is watching us."
"If we fulfill Your Excellency's orders, we will be safe." A third voice followed.
Three other enormous figures, exuding an ancient and ferocious aura, appeared on the battlefield simultaneously, like calamity beasts stepping out of a mythological scroll: the Bull Demon, the Sealed Wolves, and the Sandworms.
The Five Elders transformed into monsters, descending in their strongest battle forms and locking onto the crowd below.
Kidd's gaze swept over the five monsters, each more ferocious and powerful than the last, the painful lessons of the previous battle still fresh in his mind.
But today, there is no way out but to fight!
Either you die or I die!
His gaze finally fell back to the white figure in front of him.
This figure, radiating joy and freedom, is their greatest and only source of confidence when facing the Five Elders.
If it weren't for Luffy, and this appearance resembling the awakening of the sun god Nika, Kid's first thought would probably have been the same as Lucci's: a strategic retreat.
Kidd's voice was hoarse but unusually solemn, "Straw Hats, give it your all, defeat these old monsters, and then we'll go to Marineford together!"
This was his promise, in the name of the pirate alliance, and in the spirit of avengers and challengers.
The white-clad Luffy didn't turn around, staring intently at the five monsters with overwhelming auras. The evil emanating from these five monsters far surpassed any villains he had ever seen before, so intense it was nauseating.
Of course, I wouldn't feel any guilt about beating up such a bad guy!
"it is good!"
"I'll knock them away and then go save Ace!!"
Allen slowly exhaled a breath of hot white air. He did not want to, and could not, repeat the mistakes of the last battle. Today, he had to go all out from the very beginning.
He turned to Kidd and Capone Becky and said in a low voice, "You two stay away from me for a while."
Upon hearing this, Kid and Capone Bege simultaneously looked at Eren, a flicker of barely concealed fear crossing their eyes. They suddenly realized that what Eren was about to do was far more than a simple Titan transformation…
Just then, the five elders who had surrounded them seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding. Five terrifying monster figures emerged, carrying overwhelming domineering aura, demonic fire, slashes, shockwaves, poison balls, and the power of the earth.
Like a harbinger of doom, all heading towards the same core target, the white-clad Luffy launched a devastating attack.
They need to concentrate their absolute strength to crush this biggest variable as soon as possible, and the battle will be over once they take down Joy Boy.
"Rubber rubber——"
Luffy raised his two white rubber arms, which had swelled several times their original size like the arms of a giant, and a cheerful drumbeat resounded in his chest as he prepared to receive this storm-like combined attack.
At this critical moment, an unprecedented golden lightning bolt, as thick as a collapsing pillar of heaven, tore through the dense battle clouds without warning and struck vertically from the heavens.
Its intense light and terrifying power not only instantly illuminated the night sky of the entire Sabaody Archipelago, but also reached the distant holy land of Mary Geoise and Marineford, the naval headquarters.
They could vaguely see the horizon, where a sudden, destructive golden flash shone!
"what is that?!"
The Five Elders' offensive faltered, and voices of surprise and doubt emanated from the five monsters almost simultaneously.
But this is just the beginning!
A massive golden bolt of lightning slammed into a spot on the edge of the battlefield, unleashing an indescribable, earth-shattering explosion—not just a simple display of flames and shock.
The core of the explosion instantly generated unimaginable high temperature and pressure, accompanied by a tsunami of white, high-temperature steam that spread wildly in all directions.
The explosion's range and power far exceeded that of conventional weapons, instantly engulfing the ruined island where they were, along with several nearby archipelagos.
Dazzling flames!
Thick smoke billowing out!
A devastating shockwave!
The all-consuming milky-white steam created an apocalyptic scene.
The five enormous monstrous bodies of the Five Elders were also violently thrown away and swallowed up in this sudden baptism of destructive energy.
Large areas of charred blackening and damage instantly appeared on the monster's body, with some parts even vaporizing directly in the high temperature.
This attack, powerful enough to wipe the island off the map, did not seem to truly end them.
Amidst the flames and steam of the explosion, one could vaguely see the wrecked bodies regenerating at a visible speed.
Flesh and tendons intertwined and covered again, and scales regenerated rapidly. The mere fatal wound was clearly not enough to take the lives of the Five Elders.
"What...what was that thing just now?!" From the smoke and steam came the Five Elders' roar of shock and anger, their voices showing a clear wavering for the first time.
"Wow...it's so big!!!"
Some sharp-eyed pirates, or even survivors in the distance, vaguely saw a scene that sent chills down their spines amidst the dissipating smoke and lingering white steam.
In the center of that scorched earth, flattened and melted by the explosion, an unbelievably huge shadow slowly straightened up.
It was far larger than the average giant race, and even larger than most sea kings. Just its outline brought a towering sense of oppression, as if the mythical Titans had descended to earth.
The surging white steam, like a waterfall, flowed continuously from the surface of the giant shadow, distorting and blurring the space around it.
This is a form that no known force could create.
Ancient weapons and human kings appear here.
