Chapter 134: The Grand Melee
Louis hovered in mid-air, holding his sword and spear, quietly looking down at the world-famous powerhouses below. At this moment, everyone's gaze was focused on him.
A halo that seemed to be forged from fire slowly rotated. His flawless white wings were spread high, his golden hair flew in the wind, and his incredibly handsome masculine face was perfectly calm.
Not far away, the two from the Big Mom Pirates who had been watching from the sidelines had a strange light in their eyes. On the glacier, Amit looked at the now-grown Louis, momentarily lost in a daze. A gratified smile appeared on his aged face.
"You've grown taller, Artus," Amit said to himself.
Louis slowly landed beside him, folding his wings. "Long time no see, old geezer."
Seeing Louis again after so long made Amit ignore Kaido and the other two who had appeared. Amit's eyes fell on the Seven Star Sword in Louis's hand, his gaze filled with confusion.
To this, Louis, seeing his thoughts, explained casually, "It's handy to use." Just like a CP agent who can use Tempesta Kick isn't a swordsman, Louis, who could split mountains and clouds with a flying slash, was not a swordsman either. His ability to produce flying slashes was all thanks to brute force.
"I'm not skilled in swordsmanship, I just know a little."
Amit heard him, nodded, and said nothing more, quietly shifting his gaze to the two figures in Justice capes not far away. "Marines," Amit's gaze became peculiar, and he even spoke a second sentence on the same day.
Not far away, Kizaru, who was only slightly dirty thanks to his speed advantage, looked at the nearly nine-meter-tall old man with a head of white hair, black wings, and flames lit on his back, and raised an eyebrow slightly. "Is this a Lunarian?"
Then, he looked at Louis, with his flawless white wings and golden hair. Recalling the scene where neither his nor Aokiji's attacks had any effect, a bold idea rose in his mind.
"So, you're a Lunarian too?"
As a member of the science division, Kizaru knew more information about the Lunarian race. Connecting Louis's defense with the legendary special mechanism of the Lunarians, he made this judgment.
Nearby, Aokiji, who did not have the speed advantage and had taken the brunt of most of the attacks, resulting in him being covered in wounds, was in a daze. "So, this is the reason for the extreme malice towards the Marines that Vice Admiral Garp spoke of?"
Not far away, a subtle change came over Kaido's expression, and his mouth split open in a wide grin. In the distance, Katakuri and Perospero were taken aback, then exchanged glances.
To the Marines' question, Louis felt no need to answer. Instead, he raised his spear, and wreathed its blade in Conqueror's Haki.
"HAKOKU!"
In an instant, black and red lightning burst forth and, combined with the powerful impact from the swing of the blade, formed a "Giant's Spear" wreathed in black and red arcs of electricity. It enveloped the two Admirals and Kaido, firing the first shot of this grand melee.
Kizaru, as if he had anticipated this, instantly entered his active elemental state. Transforming into a flash of golden light, he took the battered Aokiji and flew into the air, dodging the strongest spear of the giant race.
SWOOSH—
"!!" In mid-air, Kizaru abruptly turned his head, only to find a sharp bone spear, wreathed in both Armament Haki and a searingly hot sun, blasting toward him.
The next moment, Kizaru activated his elemental state, flew behind the burly old man, and the Ama no Murakumo sword, formed from light particles, slashed straight at the old Lunarian's neck.
To this, Amit seemed unconcerned, swinging his spear toward Aokiji's head.
In mid-air, Aokiji, covered in blood, with multiple wounds and his right arm bruised black and withered, narrowed his eyes. He covered his left arm in an ice glove, wreathed it in Armament Haki, and punched toward the spear.
CLANG
Metal, flesh, and bone spear collided, yet it was met with the sound of clashing metal. An invisible impact and black Haki lightning exploded, kicking up a chaotic storm.
Just as the Ama no Murakumo was about to land on Amit's neck, a sharp slash wreathed in black and red arcs of electricity flew across the sky. It directly cut through the Ama no Murakumo and, after leaving a bloody gash on Kizaru's shoulder, disappeared over the horizon.
"!!"
Kizaru subconsciously looked down at the glacier. He saw Louis, with his wings slightly spread, holding a sword-swinging posture, his eyes coldly watching him.
Just then, a massive figure flew over several hundred meters. Its huge head opened its cavernous mouth and spat out countless wind blades, each comparable to a swordsman's slash.
"DEMOLITION GUST!"
SWOOSH SWOOSH—
In an instant, a dense barrage of wind blades occupied the sky, like an unavoidable rain, enveloping the three of them.
"..."
"Oooh, how scary~ To be attacked by three monsters~" Kizaru habitually spoke in a sarcastic tone, then crossed his arms in front of his chest, preparing to block the countless wind blades.
However, a large hand, wreathed in Armament Haki, reached out from behind him and grabbed one of his legs.
"?"
Kizaru subconsciously turned his head, only to find the small-giant-like old Lunarian giving him a ferocious grin. The next moment, a bone spear, wreathed in Armament Haki, was swung heavily toward Kizaru's head.
"Ice Block: Pheasant Beak!" With Aokiji's slightly weak voice, an ice bird, its entire body formed from translucent ice crystals, flew into the air. Its crystal claws fiercely grabbed the spear, and its ice-block beak pecked at the corner of Amit's eye like a bolt of lightning.
To this, the corners of Amit's mouth turned up slightly, and he once again gave the two of them a twisted smile. He would rather take Kaido's attack head-on than let the two Admirals in front of him suffer a bit less damage.
In an instant, the countless wind blades fell, landing on the three of them and making a series of cutting sounds.
Kaido saw this, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. Then, his mouth split open, and he shot out a searing flame, once again enveloping the three of them. "BLAST BREATH!"
High temperature filled the sky, vaporizing the clouds and mist in a radius of several thousand meters, igniting the sky and turning it into a blood-red color.
In the hellish world of flames, a figure with a head of white hair spread its black wings, broke through the sea of fire, and landed beside Louis.
On the glacier, Louis's entire body burst forth with a dazzling light, spreading a golden canopy that seemed to dye the entire world gold.
This sudden turn of events made Kaido, and Aokiji and Kizaru, who were protecting themselves with Armament Haki, frown slightly and subconsciously look in Louis's direction.
In the golden world, a figure with high-spread white wings, holding a sword and spear, arrived in an instant, accompanied by a sky full of firelight. The teardrop-shaped blade of the spear was shrouded in black and red arcs of electricity and an extremely dazzling golden holy light, and it was swung straight at the two Marines.
