"Qi Yan, do you also want to hinder me?"
"Hinder? If we're talking about hindering, you're the one hindering me. Targeting my client means you're an enemy of Fairy Tail."
"Hmph! In that case, disappear!"
Lyon raised his hand and unleashed an ice meteor hammer, shooting it towards Qi Yan.
"Ice Make: Ice Shield!"
Gray appeared in front of Qi Yan, creating an ice shield.
Boom—!
The ice shield and the ice meteor hammer shattered simultaneously.
Gray stared at Lyon and said, "Lyon, your opponent is me!"
"Gray? If that's what you want, then I'll deal with you first!"
"It's three against one here too."
Sherry and the other two also assumed fighting stances. The strength the opponent had just displayed was already terrifying. If they all went against Lyon, Lyon might not be able to win. As for the villagers, they could be dealt with at any time.
"It's not three against one, it's three against two!"
Lucy stood beside Qi Yan, pulling out her Celestial Spirit keys.
Happy also raised his fist, not to be outdone, and said, "And me! It's three against three!"
Even though he didn't have much combat power, he couldn't lose in terms of morale.
"Me! And me! It's four against three!"
Natsu, dragging his ice-bound body, stumbled over.
Qi Yan couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Gurararara!! You guys should just protect yourselves. We don't need this many people to deal with those three."
"Roger!"
Lucy and Happy immediately pulled Natsu back.
"Hey! Don't pull me! Let go of me! I want to fight them!"
Natsu struggled on the ground, but at this moment, he was like a turtle on its back, his feet unable to reach the ground.
"You're like this, what fighting are you going to do? It's already good if you don't drag us down."
"Aye!"
Yuka's expression became slightly grim as he said, "Are you looking down on us? We used to be Mages of a famous guild, you know. You should know the Lamia Scale Mage Guild."
Toby said somewhat smugly, "Yes, we have the one known as 'Iron Rock' Jura… Hey!... Are you even listening to what I'm saying?!"
Qi Yan was currently stretching his muscles and bones. This sudden surge of power in his body made him somewhat unaccustomed to it, but this powerful feeling was truly wonderful.
"Doll Attack: Rock Doll!!"
Sherry had already begun to act. As she cast her magic, the rocks on the surrounding ground began to move, quickly converging, and in a blink of an eye, formed a giant stone man over ten meters tall.
"You're hindering the love between me and Zero Emperor! You can just die!"
Sherry controlled the giant stone man to punch Qi Yan's head.
"Qi Yan, look out!"
Lucy immediately warned him when she saw it, but Qi Yan seemed to be suffering from senile dementia and didn't react.
Boom—!!
The stone man's giant fist slammed into Qi Yan's face.
"What?!"
Originally, they thought Qi Yan would be knocked down by this blow, but Qi Yan stood still, not moving an inch, showing no signs of injury.
Armament Haki, the most common Haki in the Pirate King world, is one of the three major categories of the Haki system. Its core functions are to enhance offense and defense, and it can touch the physical bodies of Logia-type Devil Fruit users. It is considered the most practical Haki in the Pirate King world.
Qi Yan looked at Sherry, his eyes showing a hint of disdain as he said, "Not enough power!"
This look stimulated Sherry, who immediately increased her magical output: "Rock Doll, show my crazy love!"
Boom boom boom boom boom!!
The stone man continuously attacked Qi Yan. After a while, Sherry stopped. Such attacks consumed a considerable amount of her magic power.
"How unlucky! To provoke Sherry, this crazy woman."
Yuka said calmly. After being attacked so many times, the opponent might have already been beaten into a pulp.
"Oh oh!"
Toby also agreed.
Soon, the smoke dissipated, and Qi Yan's figure was still standing in place, even stretching.
"Comfortable~~!"
Qi Yan glanced at Sherry and said, "Can you put a little more force into it? If you don't even have the strength for a massage, what kind of Mage are you?"
"What?!"
Sherry and the other two were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene. Was this guy a monster? She had just controlled the rock doll to attack with all its might, but the opponent looked completely unharmed, even asking her to use more force.
"Sherry, get out of the way!"
When Yuka saw Qi Yan unharmed, he knew they had encountered a monster.
"Wave!"
Yuka raised his hand and unleashed a wave.
Boom—!!
Yuka's wave slammed into Qi Yan, erupting in a violent explosive impact.
"Hmph! The wave I create can neutralize all magic. In other words, it's magic that can nullify other magic. No matter how strong your defensive magic is, against my wave…"
"Hmm… Even more comfortable…" Qi Yan's voice came from within the smoke.
"What?! How is this possible?!"
The explosive smoke cleared, and Qi Yan still stood in place, completely unharmed.
Sherry and the other two were stunned. It was one thing for Sherry's rock doll to fail to break through the opponent's defense, but even Yuka's wave was ineffective against him.
"You've all made your moves, now it's my turn."
Qi Yan gripped Murakumogiri with both hands, his muscles tensing, and the veins on his arms bulging.
"Haaah—!"
With a loud shout, Qi Yan raised Murakumogiri, carrying the momentum of cleaving the heavens and earth, and slashed forward with irresistible force.
Swish—!
Boom boom boom boom boom—!!
A massive slash swept past, directly cutting the giant stone man in half. A huge gap was cut into the ground of the ruins, and a distant mountain was also directly split in half by this slash. The slash continued towards the sea, splitting the sea surface in half as well, finally disappearing.
Gasp—!!!
Everyone who witnessed this scene felt as if their throats were being choked, and their hearts were squeezed by a large hand.
"Monster—!!!"
The mountain was cut open, and the sea was split in half. What else could this be but a monster?
"Exhilarating!! Truly exhilarating!! Gurarararara!!!"
Qi Yan laughed heartily at this moment, both from the joy of possessing immense power and from venting the pent-up frustration from the Summit War.
After inheriting Whitebeard, Qi Yan realized how poor Whitebeard's condition was during the Summit War. Even if he hadn't participated in the Summit War, that body wouldn't have lasted much longer.
His physical problems also prevented Whitebeard from freely using his three types of Haki, and even the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit couldn't be used at will. Coupled with that pre-battle blow, this directly led to his strength being less than one-tenth of its peak when he entered the battle, making the fight extremely frustrating.
Ultimately, he could only end it in that manner.
But now it was different. Qi Yan had inherited Whitebeard. As long as he had enough magic power, he could fully display Whitebeard's peak combat strength.
He would make Whitebeard's title as the 'Strongest Man in the World' resound throughout the entire Fairy Tail world.
