#143 - Plants vs. Wakanda

"My King."

W'Kabi and M'Baku both bowed to T'Chaka.

Unlike M'Baku's contemptuous attitude towards T'Challa in the original movie, M'Baku was quite respectful to T'Chaka. After all, T'Chaka was very powerful in his youth, and his illustrious reputation earned him the title of T'Chaka the Great.

"M'Baku, why did you interrupt the duel between W'Kabi and Swampfire?" T'Chaka questioned M'Baku.

"My King, we cannot allow these people to take our vibranium," M'Baku argued.

"Then you should not have stopped the duel. The results of yesterday's meeting have already been decided," T'Chaka said.

"The winner of this duel can decide the fate of the vibranium."

"I don't trust entrusting this duel to others," M'Baku explained, ignoring W'Kabi's glare.

"You should trust your compatriots, not humiliate them in this way," T'Chaka frowned.

"Now, leave the arena."

"My King!" M'Baku was clearly unconvinced and wanted to argue further.

"Step down!" Before T'Chaka could speak, his guards raised their spears, aiming them at M'Baku.

"Don't make me say it again, M'Baku," T'Chaka said sternly.

"There's no need for that, Your Majesty," Swampfire stepped forward, stopping the confrontation.

"If this gentleman doesn't trust his compatriot, why not let him join the duel as well?"

"Are you underestimating me!" W'Kabi suddenly burst out. M'Baku's interference hadn't angered him this much, but Swampfire's words truly enraged him.

In fact, not only him, but the surrounding audience was shocked and angered by Swampfire's words, because they felt that Swampfire was underestimating Wakanda's warriors.

Swampfire said expressionlessly, "I'm not underestimating you, I just have a clear understanding of my own strength."

"Are you serious?" T'Chaka looked at Swampfire with a serious expression.

"Of course," Swampfire replied.

"It seems my warriors are being underestimated," T'Chaka looked at W'Kabi and M'Baku.

"Your argument has led our guest to believe that Wakanda's warriors are just a bunch of cowards who only know how to use their tongues. Don't blame others, blame yourselves."

"Now I want you to personally reclaim Wakanda's glory."

T'Chaka didn't act like an old man in his twilight years. The former Emperor allowed the people of Wakanda to once again witness his majesty.

"Yes, sir," W'Kabi and M'Baku clenched their fists, crossed them in front of their chests, and then quickly swung them down.

After T'Chaka finished speaking, he ignored the two and turned to leave.

After W'Kabi and M'Baku waited for T'Chaka to leave, they began to silently prepare their equipment, obviously putting their whole heart into this duel.

Unlike the two who were on guard, Swampfire still appeared leisurely, as if he didn't take his two opponents seriously at all.

"Are both sides ready?" The guard asked again.

"No problem."

"Ready."

"Ready to start at any time."

The three answered almost simultaneously. The guard nodded, raised his spear, and then slammed it down heavily.

"Bang! Start!"

With the guard's order, M'Baku rushed towards Swampfire with a club in his hand. His tall and sturdy body was quite intimidating when charging.

But compared to the two-meter-tall Swampfire, he paled in comparison. Swampfire didn't dodge or avoid, he stretched out his right hand, and roots suddenly grew out of his arm. A bulging pod grew above the roots, and there was a trumpet-shaped opening on the pod.

Before M'Baku could react, a large pea shot out of the opening. The speed was too fast, so that M'Baku couldn't react at all, and only had time to block his head with the club.

The pea hit the club and burst open. Although M'Baku blocked the pea aimed at his head, he was still knocked to the ground by the huge impact.

That's right, this is the Peashooter that Yang Le has been researching for a long time. Yang Le buried the seeds of the Peashooter in Swampfire's body, and controlled its growth when needed. Of course, other completed plant seeds were also buried in his body.

"Fifty has arrived."

Swampfire obviously wouldn't let go of this opportunity, he liked beating a dog in the water the most. He raised his left hand, using both hands, and two more peas shot out from it, attacking M'Baku who was lying on the ground.

M'Baku heard the exclamations of the surrounding audience, and also heard the reminders from his subordinates. He wanted to get up immediately, but there was no way. The power of that pea was too great, and his arms were still a little numb. It was all he could do to hold the club without letting go.

Just when everyone thought M'Baku was about to be finished, W'Kabi suddenly jumped in front of M'Baku. He raised his cloak and shielded it in front of the two of them. A translucent blue barrier suddenly appeared in front of the two.

"Bang! Bang!"

With two crisp sounds, the peas turned into pieces again. W'Kabi gritted his teeth. No wonder the strong M'Baku couldn't resist, the impact of this pea was really a bit too great.

"Thanks," M'Baku immediately got up and thanked W'Kabi beside him.

"Instead of that, you should think about how to win the duel," W'Kabi gritted his teeth, because he saw two more peas shooting over.

"Of course I have a way," M'Baku took a big step, walked out from behind the barrier, raised the club high and swung it down with force, colliding fiercely with the flying peas in the air.

Because the two peas were fired at the same time, M'Baku's swing can be said to have killed two birds with one stone, hitting two peas at the same time and turning them into pea flour.

"Drink ah!"

M'Baku ignored his sore and numb hands and roared wantonly.

The surrounding audience also cheered. This is what it's like to fight at home, even a little operation can get support.

"Well done," W'Kabi praised.

"It's really shocking," Swampfire was also a little surprised. The peas of the Peashooter are not something that ordinary people can resist.

"Then how about this?"

Swampfire plunged his legs into the soil, and seeds, from his body along the roots buried in the soil, not much time, more than a dozen Peashooters drilled out of the soil.

"Oh, shit!" M'Baku was stunned in place, he couldn't hit so many back.

"What are you doing, hurry up and hide in!" W'Kabi shouted, M'Baku quickly turned around and ran back.

"Fire!"

Swampfire waved his hand, and more than a dozen peas fired at the same time. M'Baku couldn't dodge in time and was hit in the back by a pea and fell to the ground.

The rest of the peas, like a torrential rain, slammed on W'Kabi's barrier, the barrier shattered immediately, and W'Kabi was also submerged in the pea rain.
