Chapter 283: Reiner's Spear of Elbaf
Reiner took a heavy step forward, a giant battle-axe appearing in his hand out of thin air.
Two identical auras erupted from him and Hajrudin at the same time!
A violent, impactful airflow ravaged the entire fighting ring. The surrounding people had to raise their hands to cover their faces, gritting their teeth and sinking their bodies to stay steady and prevent being blown away.
"What an astonishing aura!"
"For a human body to erupt with such powerful strength, what is that guy's background?"
Among a group of huddled-together contestants, Dagama, the fat strategist of the Prodence Kingdom, had a grave expression.
He glanced back at his king, who had only just begun to charge his power. Although the [King Punch] was incredibly powerful, the one-hour warm-up and charging time was undoubtedly its biggest drawback in a tournament.
"At this rate, it's impossible to last that long."
Dagama clenched his fists. The strongest contestant he had bought, Blue Gilly of the Longleg Tribe, had been instantly defeated right at the start.
The rest were just some worthless small fry. It was obviously impossible to rely on them to protect the king from those two.
Thinking of this, he shifted his gaze to Bartolomeo at the edge of the ring.
"Hey! Cannibal, how about cooperating with us!"
Dagama put on a benevolent smile and continued to shout, "You've seen it too. It won't be easy to defeat those two guys."
"We can team up to eliminate the others first, and then compete for the final spot. What do you think!"
"—Oh?! No wonder you guys have been sticking together."
Behind his barrier, Bartolomeo stroked his chin, looking with great interest at the tall man wearing a crown who was surrounded.
He was doing a little skip while continuously throwing punches, and a little bit of steam could be seen rising from his skin.
"Is he charging up for some big move?"
Bartolomeo's expression was teasing. "First use others to help you clear out the competitors, and then, after that guy finishes preparing his ultimate move, you'll burn the bridge?"
"I say, you guys really like being someone's dog."
"Woof woof?"
"Hehahahaha!"
Bartolomeo, with a cheeky expression, looked up at the group and imitated a small dog, laughing so hard that tears were squeezed out.
Before setting out to sea, as a gangster leader who ruled over 150 towns, although he wasn't meticulous, he was by no means brainless.
At the very least, he had seen plenty of faces like Dagama's.
"You bastard!"
Feeling the pairs of unfriendly gazes behind him, Dagama was about to grind his back teeth to dust.
To actually expose his plan in public, he was clearly doing it on purpose to disgust him.
"Block them all! Protect the king! After this is done, the reward I promised you will be doubled!" Dagama shouted, brandishing his sword.
Under the "add more money" tactic, the contestants who had already been bought out were all fired up, actively stepping forward to protect Elizabello II in the middle.
In just a few words, the situation on the ring had become turbulent, with black lightning flashing.
The majestic auras pulsed out one after another, shaking everyone's hearts.
Holding his greatsword horizontally behind him with both hands, Hajrudin's gaze hardened as he stared at the blond man before him who was in the same stance.
"Don't tell me you..."
He found it hard to believe that he would have such a thought, but looking at the other's movements and aura, it was clearly the ultimate technique of Elbaf, without a doubt!
A corner of Reiner's mouth lifted slightly. "Since I learned this move, I haven't had a chance to compare it with a giant yet."
"Hmph! Putting on a show! The ultimate technique of the giant race, how can it possibly be performed by a mere human body!"
An inexplicable anger flashed in Hajrudin's eyes. His greatsword, accompanied by an explosive roar, swept out heavily!
"The glory of Elbaf is something an impostor like you could never understand!!"
Reiner's eyes hardened, a scarlet, ferocious glint flashing. He swung his giant axe with a whistling wind and smashed out fiercely!
In an instant, the air seemed to freeze!
The chaotic fighting arena was instantly frozen!
Only two roars, like rolling thunder, exploded in everyone's ears!
"Spear of Elbaf!!"
"Hakoku!!!"
Boom!!!
Two violent impacts, one blue and one red, fiercely collided. In an instant, the heavens and the earth dimmed.
Under the explosion of a terrifying, heart-pounding force, countless irregular cracks spread out from the center, instantly covering the entire fighting ring!
Hajrudin gritted his teeth, his hands gripping the sword trembling continuously.
A mournful cry, as if it were on the verge of breaking, came from the greatsword. Finally, before his disbelieving eyes...
...it shattered with a roar!
"Puwaah!!"
The unstoppable impact solidly pierced his chest. Amidst the continuous sound of cracking bones, Hajrudin's eyes looked as if they would split. He opened his mouth and exploded with a large mouthful of blood.
Bang!!
His massive body flew out straight like a cannonball, shattering the enclosing wall and crashing heavily into the edge of the spectator stands!
The flying rubble continuously fell into the water, and the stirred-up dust and smoke gradually dispersed.
Gatz held his head, lying on the ground with his butt in the air, trembling continuously.
It wasn't until the noise outside gradually quieted down that he tremblingly got up and peeked out from the announcer's booth to check the situation.
"Wh-what happened?"
Below, the entire fighting ring had cracked into countless pieces, scattered and tilted as they floated on the water.
In the very center, a gust of wind rolled away the dust and smoke, and Reiner walked out, swinging his giant axe.
Besides him, there were no other contestants standing in the arena!
"Hey!"
Reiner tilted his chin upwards. "Announce the result."
"An... ah, yes!"
Gatz came back to his senses from the shock and hurriedly found a broadcast Den Den Mushi, announcing loudly, "The winner of Block B is..."
"Alan!!!"
"—Whoa!!"
"Strong! He's simply too strong!!"
"Alan!! Alan!!"
A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the spectator stands, and the staff of the arena also began their cleanup work.
"Quick, go up and rescue them!"
"And the fighting ring! Quick, set it up again!"
"Fish out everyone who fell into the water!"
Amidst the noisy din, Reiner leaped away from the ruined fighting ring and walked towards the rest area in the back.
A corner of Zoro's mouth lifted slightly. "This guy... his movements are as big as ever."
"Hee hee hee, it's my turn next."
Luffy sat cross-legged on the edge of a wall and chuckled. "I can't help but get excited."
The entire rest area was quiet. Besides the two of them, all the other contestants were silent.
How can anyone win against such a monster...
Rebecca lowered her head in silence, her lips pursed, her clenched hands hidden under her cloak.
Even if I really can emerge from Block D, what about the finals?
The power that could completely destroy the fighting ring with just its aftershock... this was not an opponent that could be defeated with skill.
Not to mention...
Rebecca couldn't help but sneak a glance at Zoro.
In the same block, there was also a swordsmanship expert like Roronoa.
His powerful figure was like an unclimbable mountain blocking her way. A sense of desperate powerlessness arose spontaneously.
But what made her despair was not the inability to obtain the Devil Fruit, but the Dressrosa that seemed to have no hope at all.
She had thought that with Doflamingo's death, the nightmare would end. However, reality had taught her a harsh lesson.
The cadres of the Donquixote Family, Weevil, the three Calamities, Kaido...
Step by step, she had uncovered the darkness that shrouded her head, only to find that Dressrosa had long since fallen into an endless abyss.
