Just then, Sanji, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, stepped forward and flicked the ash lightly.
"Since everyone else is so uninterested, I'll take the lead."
When Shadley saw Sanji step out instead of Lin Ning, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He had been using his Observation Haki to sense the enemy's Qi.
Lin Ning's Qi was unfathomable, making Shadley not want to face him from the start.
And Lin Ning, who had made a simple Move earlier, indeed confirmed this; Shadley was no match for him at all.
Luffy and Zoro also exuded a dangerous Qi, making Shadley subtly uneasy.
Now it was Sanji who stepped forward… Compared to those monsters, this blond kid should be easier to deal with, right?
"Very good! I'll start with him!"
Shadley waved his hands, and countless white orbs around him immediately began to spin wildly.
Like a torrential storm, they flew rapidly towards Sanji!
"Die! White Orb Explosion!"
However, facing the dense attack of white orbs, Sanji's expression remained calm.
He didn't even take the cigarette out of his mouth, as if he didn't take this attack seriously at all.
Whoosh!
Just as the white orbs were about to hit him, Sanji's foot moved lightly, and his figure instantly vanished!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Consecutive explosions erupted in the air, flames splattered, and shockwaves stirred up large amounts of dust.
But Sanji's figure had already strangely weaved through the gaps in the explosions!
He seemed to have predicted the trajectory of all the white orbs in advance, precisely avoiding all attacks at the last moment.
Even those white orbs that ambushed him from behind, Sanji didn't even look back, easily dodging them.
This astonishing dynamic vision and reaction speed completely froze Shadley's expression, his eyes filled with horror.
"H-how is this possible!?"
Shadley's eyes widened, his voice trembling slightly: "You, how do you also know Observation Haki?!"
Lin Ning, Luffy, and Zoro, who were watching from a distance, remained calm.
They commented on Sanji's fighting style with interest.
Lin Ning nodded slightly, praising: "Sanji's Observation Haki is becoming more and more proficient; his evasions have almost no wasted movements.
And his perception of danger is becoming more precise.
Luffy, Zoro, you two should also practice Observation Haki well."
Luffy and Zoro both nodded; they naturally knew the importance of Observation Haki.
Especially when facing speed-type or long-range attacking enemies, Observation Haki's role is particularly crucial.
Sanji stopped at this moment, turning his head to look at Shadley.
He showed a puzzled expression: "Observation Haki? Are you referring to Observation Haki?"
Shadley was stunned for a moment, his face filled with shock:
"So… so Observation Haki is called 'Observation Haki' in the Blue Sea?!
But… this skill is a gift from God, a divine skill that only God should master!
How could you Blue Sea people possibly know it?!"
His worldview seemed to be violently impacted!
In Sky Island, people regarded "Observation Haki" as a special ability bestowed by God.
Even throughout Sky Island, those who could master this skill were extremely rare.
The reason why the priests could do whatever they wanted in Sky Island was because they were proficient in "Observation Haki."
They could accurately predict the enemy's movements, gaining an absolute advantage!
But now, these guys from the Blue Sea not only mastered Observation Haki, but even used it more skillfully than himself?
This was simply the greatest provocation to the "authority of God"!
"A frog in a well…"
Sanji gently exhaled a puff of smoke, a playful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth:
"It seems your so-called 'divine skill' is nothing special after all."
Shadley's face flushed with anger, and he gritted his teeth, roaring:
"Presumptuous! I will let you witness the true power of God!"
A ferocious glint flashed in Shadley's eyes as he manipulated countless white orbs to furiously assault Sanji.
A triumphant smile appeared on his face: "Even if you know Observation Haki, with such airtight attacks, you have nowhere to escape!
Even Observation Haki will be blown to smithereens!"
But Sanji slowly put away his smile, his feet shifting slightly, adopting a fighting stance.
"In that case…"
"Then I won't play with you anymore."
Facing the overwhelming white orbs, Sanji showed no panic whatsoever.
He subtly quirked his lips, his eyes filled with disdain: "Airtight? Nothing special."
"Moonwalk!"
Sanji kicked off the ground, and his entire body instantly shot into the air.
He took several steps in the air, actually suspending himself mid-air!
Shadley's pupils contracted sharply at this sight.
But what shocked him even more was that Sanji's right leg ignited with a blazing fire at that moment!
The scorching flames churned and danced in the air, illuminating the entire battlefield and causing the surrounding temperature to rise sharply.
"Such a petty trick, yet you dare to show off in front of me?"
Sanji, with a cigarette in his mouth, took a deep drag, his eyes cold, then suddenly lifted his leg—
"Diable Jambe — Rankyaku!"
A Rankyaku, mixed with scorching flames, roared out from Sanji's toes, like a blade tearing through the air.
With an unstoppable surge of Qi, it directly slammed into the densely packed white orbs.
Boom—!
The scorching flame blade Qi instantly swept across the battlefield, and countless white orbs were detonated in the air, forming a series of deafening explosions!
A massive fireball shot into the sky, illuminating the entire forest, and the explosive shockwaves spread in all directions.
The ground was torn with cracks, and dust and smoke billowed into the air.
Shadley stared dumbfounded as his proud "Trial of the Ball" was destroyed by a single strike from Sanji.
The smile on his face froze, turning into an expression of disbelieving horror.
"This… how is this possible?!"
The firelight reflected on Sanji's cold face as he calmly exhaled a puff of smoke in the air.
His voice was calm and indifferent: "Don't bring out such useless Moves to make a fool of yourself."
Shadley's heart pounded frantically, he could already feel an overwhelming sense of pressure.
He wanted to use Observation Haki to predict Sanji's next Move, but—
He couldn't sense anything at all!
Sanji's figure suddenly vanished in mid-air!
"What?! Where is he?" Shadley suddenly looked up, a wave of panic in his heart.
But the next second, boom—!
A loud bang echoed in the air, and Sanji's figure appeared instantly above Shadley's head like a meteor!
In Shadley's eyes, Sanji seemed to have torn through space, instantly arriving directly above him!
Shadley's pupils contracted violently; he wanted to escape, wanted to counterattack, wanted to do something.
But in the face of Sanji's absolute speed, he didn't even have time to raise his hand!
Sanji's eyes were cold, the flames on his right leg danced in the air, like the flames of judgment, shining with destructive brilliance.
Boom—!!!
Sanji's right leg, burning with raging flames, fiercely kicked Shadley's head!
Shadley's head was as if struck by a thousand-ton hammer; his entire plump body slammed towards the ground at an extremely fast speed, crashing down with a boom!
Boom—!
The ground directly exploded into a deep pit, and sand and dust flew everywhere!
The entire jungle trembled violently from this single kick; flocks of birds in the forest scattered and fled, and countless leaves were shaken down.
Shadley's body was heavily embedded in the ground, unconscious, his life unknown!
—Instantly killed by Sanji!
