How about it, Mr. Stan? Do you want to come out and chat? Your turtle shell doesn't seem that great."
Wang Kai said, while easing the pain in his arm. The downside of using the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is the direct side effect. That strike just now made his hand ache slightly, but there shouldn't be any serious injury. However, if he used it continuously, his arm would likely be injured. His body strength wasn't as good as Whitebeard's.
"Wang Kai, what's so good about Tony? As long as you and I join forces, Stark Industries will belong to the two of us."
Knowing Wang Kai's power, Obadiah Stan became a bit timid. It would be great if he could win Wang Kai over.
"There's nothing great about Tony, but he has more of a bottom line than you. If I joined forces with you, I don't know when you'd sell me out. You can betray Tony, so what can't you betray? That's not how a person should be. Hadō #4: Byakurai!"
Wang Kai unleashed another bolt of lightning. Since the Iron Monger was made of metal, he wanted to see how well metal conducted electricity. However, seeing the arc spread across the Iron Monger's surface without much effect, Wang Kai knew Obadiah Stan must have taken precautions in this regard.
"Then you're refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit. Don't blame me for being impolite."
Obadiah Stan heard Wang Kai's words and knew Wang Kai wouldn't submit to him. Indeed, even if he took Wang Kai in, he would find an opportunity to kill him later. Since that was the case, he might as well bring Wang Kai's death forward to today.
The machine gun swept again, and Wang Kai dodged once more. The space here was narrow, making fighting inconvenient. Wang Kai immediately left and came to the Stark Industries complex. It was spacious here, and there were no innocent bystanders, so fighting here was safe.
Soon, Obadiah Stan smashed through the ground and jumped out from below. Seeing Wang Kai, the missile on his other arm locked onto Wang Kai and fired.
"Prodigy of the heavens, iron-clad wall, dragon's gait, lion's roar, tiger's howl, wolf's dash, intercepting heaven and earth before collapse. Bakudō #81: Dankū!"
Wang Kai immediately released a barrier in front of him, blocking all the missiles.
"Kai, leave him to me."
Just then, Tony arrived. Looking at the scratches on his armor, Wang Kai knew he must have been through a battle.
"Tony, don't push yourself. This big guy has some strength; it's not something your small body can withstand."
Wang Kai said to Tony. Although Tony was a genius, diligence could make up for shortcomings, and Obadiah Stan wasn't an idiot either. Although he couldn't achieve Tony's level of precision, he substituted it with size, and a larger size allowed for more configurations. Simply in terms of strength, it was incomparable to Tony's refined armor.
"Don't worry, I'm confident I can handle him. Stan, you shouldn't have done this."
Tony landed in front of Obadiah Stan and said to him.
"Tony, you're too kind, and you're blocking my path. But I didn't expect one setback to actually unleash more of your talent. I love this suit so much. Your father would be proud of you. Your talent should be used in these areas. As long as you're willing to let go of past grievances, if we join forces, no one can compete with us."
Obadiah Stan spread his arms and said to Tony. This armor made him feel powerful; this feeling was truly exhilarating.
"Stan, it's impossible for me to stand with you. It was already decided the moment you betrayed me."
Tony saw Obadiah Stan hiding inside the Iron Monger, his eyes already bloodshot. After his father's death, Obadiah Stan was like a father figure in Tony's heart. Now being betrayed by Obadiah Stan, this pain was something no one could understand.
"Alright then, I'll continue what I haven't finished. Don't worry, your talent and wisdom will forever remain in Stark Industries."
A missile extended from Obadiah Stan's shoulder, aimed at Tony, and fired.
Holy crap!
Tony flew up, leaving Wang Kai behind. Wang Kai frustratingly used Shunpo to leave the spot, moving a hundred meters away. A large pit had already been blasted in the spot where he had been standing.
"Tony, watch where you're going."
Wang Kai said to Tony.
"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention."
Tony said, then raised his hands and fired energy beams at Obadiah Stan, pushing the Iron Monger back a few steps.
Then he pounced and became entangled with the Iron Monger. Although his strength was inferior to the Iron Monger's, his agility was more than twice that of the Iron Monger. This was the excellence of the technology.
But Wang Kai saw a problem. Tony was actually playing to his weakness, not using his weapons to fight Obadiah Stan, but engaging in close-quarters combat with the Iron Monger. Although his agility surpassed the Iron Monger's, at such close range, the advantage in speed was negligible. If he wasn't careful and was caught by the Iron Monger, there would be no room for him to fight back at all.
Perhaps Tony had no other strengths left. Looking at the marks on him, he probably just flew back from the other side of the world and had used up all the munitions on his body there. Who told him his Iron Man suit was too small and couldn't hold too much? Tony relied more on the impact beams from his palms and chest to fight. As for other weapons, they were just the small warheads on his shoulders and the single-soldier missiles on his arms. Tony had probably used all of these up.
As expected, just as Wang Kai had predicted, Tony relied on speed to constantly attack the Iron Monger's armor around Obadiah Stan. In a moment of carelessness, he was actually caught by the Iron Monger's giant hand, like grabbing a doll.
"Tony, little mouse, I got you, didn't I? I'm going to crush you."
Obadiah Stan, who had been full of anger from being harassed by Tony earlier, finally caught Tony and absolutely wouldn't let Tony die so easily. He wanted to crush Tony to death.
Tony struggled desperately. The screen inside his helmet showed that the suit was being damaged. A simulated full-body image showed that the area where the Iron Monger was gripping his chest and abdomen had begun to turn red, indicating damage. Obadiah Stan's Iron Monger was much stronger than he had imagined. Tony regretted rushing over so quickly. It would have been better to resupply his ammunition.
"Hey, big dummy, don't forget you're fighting two against one. Don't think I'm just standing around. Tremor-Tremor Fruit: Gentle Palm!"
At this moment, a voice appeared beside Obadiah Stan and Tony. Obadiah Stan showed a look of horror, while Tony smiled. Wang Kai finally didn't drop the ball.
