Chapter 174: Kael's Terrifying Attack
The terrifying sword energy that swept out carved a deep chasm in the sea, striking directly at the Moby Dick.
"The sky! It's torn apart!" "The sea is torn apart too!" "Such powerful Conqueror's Haki!" "Damn it! How could Kael be so strong?!" "It's too late!" "Let me do it!!"
The Whitebeard Fleet instantly fell into chaos. At the crucial moment, Diamond Jozu and Vista stepped forward. Diamond Jozu's entire body was instantly covered in diamonds, and he roared as he charged to the bow, facing the terrifying sword energy head-on.
"Boom!!!"
The terrifying sword energy struck Diamond Jozu, and the bow of the entire Moby Dick was instantly pressed into the sea, creating a huge indentation on the surface.
"Ah ah ah ah ah~!!!"
Diamond Jozu's veins bulged as he forcefully lifted the terrifying sword energy towards the sky. But the angle was still off. The sword energy diagonally slashed towards the Moby Dick's mast, and Diamond Jozu himself was blasted into the ship's cabin.
'Two-Sword Style: Crossbones!'
Vista's two swords were wrapped in Armament Haki, and he leaped up, blocking the diagonally incoming terrifying sword energy and deflecting it into the sky. The astonishing sword energy shot straight up, splitting the clouds behind it and forming the latter half of a sky-rending fissure.
"Hey, hey, hey, pull yourselves together!" "This Conqueror's Haki is truly terrifying!"
A chubby black man's eyes widened, his pupils instantly turning into tiny black dots as he looked at the 'comrades' falling around him. He immediately yelled, "What a powerful Conqueror's Haki this was. It was almost on par with the Four Emperors." Was this the Conqueror's Haki an Emperor of an Allied Nation in the Sea of Peace should possess?! It was even more terrifying than a young Red-Haired Shanks.
"Jozu! Vista! Are you alright?!" "Damn it! His swordsmanship and Conqueror's Haki are both so strong!"
Fire Fist Ace's eyes were filled with shock. This Conqueror's Haki felt even stronger than Whitebeard's current one. Thinking of his own Conqueror's Haki, which was sometimes effective and sometimes not, Kael's Conqueror's Haki was simply monstrous. Kael wasn't much older than him. How could this Goa Emperor be so powerful?
"I'm fine!"
Diamond Jozu shook his head, a trace of blood overflowing from his nose. He wiped it away and quickly walked out from the wreckage. "Damn it! This sword energy actually had mental and Conqueror's Haki attacks. How could there be such a bizarre and domineering slash?"
"Such domineering sword energy!"
Vista fell back onto the deck. Even after Jozu had absorbed most of its power, his tiger's mouth was slightly numb from blocking the sword energy. If he had blocked it head-on, he would definitely have been injured. Was this Exile Emperor actually that powerful?
"This is bad! We underestimated Kael's strength."
Atmosphere's expression was very solemn. He looked at the stunned subordinates around him and at the sword energy that required both Jozu and Vista to block, and he felt a little numb. If he had known the Exile Emperor was so strong, they should have let Whitebeard go himself.
"Calm down, we can't lose face for the Whitebeard Pirates!"
Diamond Jozu shouted at Atmosphere. Panicking at such a crisis was not the demeanor of the world's strongest pirate crew.
"It seems we can only utilize Jack's strength."
Vista's expression was very solemn. Kael's strength severely exceeded their expectations. Even if Marco had come, it would probably have been a tough fight. It seemed their attempt to take the lead this time might fail.
"They're making a move!" "It's Housparton the Fist Slayer! He's actively attacking the Mammoth." "The Goa Empire actually wants to deal with us at the same time!" "The Emperor and 3 Marquises are so arrogant…"
After an initial moment of panic, the Division Commanders and affiliated Captains of the Whitebeard Pirates quickly regained their confidence under the glory of the world's strongest pirate crew, and one by one, they cursed unhappily. While Kael was dealing with their Whitebeard Fleet, he actually dared to move against Jack. This was looking down on their Whitebeard Pirates. This was simply unforgivable.
On Silver Island, "Ah ha ha ha, Your Majesty's Conqueror's Haki is getting stronger and stronger. He actually cleared out so many miscellaneous soldiers at once." Aramaki's admiration for Kael grew even stronger. One must know that the miscellaneous soldiers of 2 Four Emperors' Pirate crews were elites among pirates. Now, so many of them were instantly taken down by Kael. It had to be said, Conqueror's Haki was truly an enviable power.
"Next, it's your time to perform!"
Kael's Seven Star Dragon Emperor Sword reverted to a small dragon coiling beside him, and he issued the combat order to everyone.
"Understood!"
Everyone responded in unison, and Spartan was the first to charge out, heading towards the Mammoth, which had already reached the shallow sea. He hadn't expected Jack, despite seeing such powerful sword energy, to still stick to his original intention of landing on Silver Island. Kael admired this courage. What Kael didn't know was that on the Mammoth, some of Jack's subordinates who hadn't been stunned by the Conqueror's Haki were frantically trying to persuade Jack to make a strategic retreat.
"If I run now, won't I lose face for the Beasts Pirates?!" "The Beasts Pirates have no cowards, attack!"
Jack controlled the Mammoth, charging directly onto the shallow water beach. He pulled out two crescent scythes and rushed onto Silver Island. He was the type of reckless person who wouldn't give up until he hit a wall. How would he know if Kael was just for show without fighting? Perhaps such terrifying slashes could only be used once or twice. As a tank, Jack's advantage was his ability to endure battles for days and nights.
"Boss, no need to charge, Housparton the Fist Slayer is coming himself."
Jack's subordinate pointed ahead and shouted, his eyes filled with helplessness towards his reckless boss.
"Is he coming to die?!" "This time, you won't be so lucky."
Jack was still bothered by Spartan's escape last time. That guy even dared to spread rumors outside that he was evenly matched with him. He admitted Spartan had some strength, but that was because he hadn't gone all out back then.
"Before, I was wary of the Beasts Pirates behind you, but this time, I won't run!"
Spartan roared, and violent Haki erupted from his fists. He intended to prove himself with this battle.
"I'll chop you into eight pieces!"
Jack raised his crescent scythes and slashed upwards. In an instant, the shockwaves from the clash of fists and blades swept out circles of sand waves on the beach. Jack's elite subordinates who hadn't been stunned by the Conqueror's Haki were now blown by the violent shockwaves and sand waves onto the sea or further down the beach.
"Jack and Housparton the Fist Slayer are fighting!" "That guy actually blocked Jack's attack!" "Could it be that Housparton the Fist Slayer's strength is truly no less than Jack's?"
The pirates on the Whitebeard Fleet and some intelligence personnel who had arrived early on Silver Island were greatly alarmed. The terrifying vibrations on the coast even caused tremors in the mines and caves on Silver Island, with countless debris shaking loose, frightening the Bounty Hunters of the Silver Alliance. Could this be the terrifying strength of the strongest empire and the Four Emperors' Pirates, where even the aftershocks of battle could shake an island?!
"Damn it, why did they choose Silver Island?!"
Bill could only rage impotently within the mine. His own territory, would it really be destroyed by the aftershocks of this war?
