Chapter 362: Typhon's Terrifying Strike and Zhikai's Death
Zhikai hadn't expected his full-power strike to only have this effect.
This left him feeling somewhat frustrated.
There was nothing he could do; Typhon was too strong.
As he continuously fell, who knew how much strength he had accumulated.
Speed is strength; the same principle applied here.
Moreover, Typhon didn't just have speed; he also had weight.
Typhon's fleshy wings meticulously controlled the direction of his fall, locking onto Zhikai tightly, leaving him no chance.
Facing this situation, Zhikai could only go all out, seizing this slight gap to erupt with astonishing speed.
He tried his best to avoid a direct hit from Typhon, while simultaneously erupting with full-power Armament Haki covering his entire body.
Boom!
His enormous body fell onto the ground like a meteor.
An area hundreds of meters around was instantly shattered into countless pieces of rubble under the terrifying impact force.
The entire Island trembled.
The irresistible destructive power triggered a magnitude 10 earthquake, and countless cracks continuously spread towards the Island's surroundings.
Terrifying airflow struck like a hurricane, continuously spreading rubble and dust outwards.
Every small piece of rubble flying through the air possessed the lethality to take someone's life.
If you wanted to run, where could you hide?
The entire Island was within the impact's affected area.
Typhon's location was precisely the G-4 Fortress on Trade Island.
The entire Navy Fortress was directly turned into ruins.
The Island Resident fell to the ground due to the earthquake, and those with bad luck fell directly into the spreading cracks.
One after another, filled with fear, they watched the rolling dust clouds continuously approaching from the distance, and screams came one after another.
As for the Core Area where Typhon fell, the nearby Marines were instantly swallowed by the terrifying impact, and countless pieces of rubble tore apart their bodies.
Those who could survive were already considered lucky.
Moreover, the G-4 Fortress was the main gathering place for the Marines, so it could be said they suffered heavy casualties.
For the vast majority of the Marines, this was simply too sudden; they didn't have much time to react at all.
And what about Zhikai?
At the critical moment, Zhikai, under the pressure of life and death, successfully avoided Typhon's direct impact.
After all, with terrifying strength and an enormous body, Shikai simply couldn't resist; he was afraid he would be directly smashed into meat paste.
Even so, he was the closest existence to Typhon, and the destructive power he faced was even more terrifying.
And what he had to face wasn't just Typhon's impact.
After who knows how long, the smoke and dust gradually dispersed.
Under this terrifying destructive power, the entire Island was swept through by the hurricane, and amidst continuous tremors, most buildings were destroyed.
And where the original G-4 Fortress had been, a deep pit hundreds of meters in diameter appeared.
Cracks like a spiderweb spread to the Island's edge.
As for casualties, who knows how many there were.
With just one strike, the entire Island was almost completely destroyed by Typhon.
If he did it a few more times, the entire Island might even be completely annihilated.
Wails continuously sounded from the surroundings.
The Marines stationed on the outer perimeter of the Island did not suffer heavy casualties.
After making some adjustments, they continuously rushed towards the center.
Typhon slowly climbed up from the ground and stretched his limbs.
Falling from the sky thousands of meters high, he surprisingly didn't have even a single injury on his body.
Looking at the scene around him that had been subjected to his rampant power, Typhon felt very satisfied.
The chains coating his hands were loosened at some unknown point, gripped tightly by his three arms.
Typhon walked forward.
The chains dragging on the ground seemed to float in the air as if alive, automatically coating themselves onto Typhon's arms.
Accompanied by a huge shadow, Typhon's ship anchor appeared behind him, a strange smile having grown on it.
What was horrifying was that one corner of the ship anchor was stained with blood.
"Well done, Okeanos."
Typhon praised with a smile.
"He almost got away, Master."
The ship anchor spoke.
The smile on it couldn't be hidden no matter what, and it even stuck out a long tongue, licking the blood off itself clean.
This ship anchor, just like Typhon's Storm Hammer, was one of his homies, named Okeanos.
Just now, he had performed a great service.
Okeanos possessed the ability to float, and just like that, it followed behind Typhon's figure as if being led on a leash.
He walked hundreds of meters forward and finally saw a figure.
That's right, the former Marine Admiral, Shikai.
At this moment, Zhikai looked extremely terrifying.
His entire body was a mangled mess of flesh and blood.
One arm and one leg were missing, and half of his body was blown apart.
Shattered bone was mixed with flesh and blood, bringing immense pain to Zhikai every moment.
The bone throughout his body was shattered.
Faintly visible was his heart, still beating.
If it weren't for Zhikai's strong vitality, he would be dead by now.
However, he only had roughly one breath left and had no ability to resist at all.
As a Swordsman, his physique and haki were still a bit weaker compared to Strongman of the same level.
Typhon's fall was merely the first phase of the attack.
In fact, what kind of operation Zhikai would take was all within his expectations.
The ship anchor homie in his hand was the second phase of his attack.
At that instant, at extreme speed and such a short distance from the ground, it was indeed difficult for Typhon to control his body's movement.
However, he could control the direction of Okeanos's fall.
At the same time Zhikai dodged, Typhon flung out the chains towards the direction Zhikai dodged.
Carrying terrifying strength and haki, Okeanos accurately smashed onto Zhikai's body.
As for the current Zhikai, he was lying within a Chasm ten meters wide and tens of meters deep.
Okeanos's powerful strike had almost split the entire Island in two.
The seawater outside the Island was continuously pouring into the Island's inside along the cracks.
Continuously flowing, half of Zhikai's body was submerged in seawater.
If no one saved him, his body would soon be directly swallowed.
"Is this a Marine Admiral?"
Although Typhon knew that the fact he was able to cause such destructive power was actually due to taking advantage of the situation.
This didn't prevent him from mocking and ridiculing.
The victor is king, the vanquished is nothing; the result is everything.
In the final analysis, Zhikai's strength was still too weak.
If Garp and Sengoku were here, how could they not block it?
They wouldn't even get injured at all.
Zhikai's strength, instead, made Typhon a bit disappointed.
"That's true, you were originally an old fellow who had already retired.
The Marines even sent you out here to die."
Typhon's voice entered Zhikai's ears.
He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
In this final moment, what appeared in Zhikai's mind was his beloved daughter, her appearance, voice, and smiling face.
"I'm sorry, Zhi Yuan, I can't watch you grow anymore."
"No! Avenge me!"
Soon, Zhikai lost his vitality and completely died.
