Chapter 51: A Single Slash Cuts Off a Five Elder Star's Arm
Swish! Swish! Swish!
His entire aura erupted, and the Five Elder's sword intent began to rise! Faintly, one could even see the face of a demon appear behind the sword-wielding Five Elder! That demon seemed to have come from hell!
The sword aura materialized!
This was something only a top-tier grandmaster swordsman could achieve!
[Congratulations to the host for successfully picking up top-tier Observation Haki, current progress: 38.9%!]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully picking up Grandmaster-level swordsmanship, current progress: 54.7%!]
Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the sword-wielding Five Elder, Rono also stood ready with his sword!
His Future Sight Observation Haki had already seen it. If he forcefully ignored this slash from the sword-wielding Five Elder to kill the Celestial Dragons, he would likely be seriously injured!
"Can one really make people see a demon's face with just sword intent?!"
"It seems not all Celestial Dragons are a bunch of trash."
Rono was also very interested in this move! It seemed that the next moment would be this sword-wielding Five Elder's ultimate move!
Good! Very good!
This move is mine!
The more ultimate moves, the better!
However, Rono couldn't just wait for the Five Elder to make his move.
"In that case, I'll show you something interesting!"
A look of anticipation shone in Rono's pupils. His Conqueror's Haki and sword intent also began to rise!
There wasn't much time left!
He had to use this move to end it!
Then, thunder roared in the sky, and lightning struck! Within the clouds, it was as if a thunder god in charge of lightning was brewing a storm!
"Look, what is that!"
Just then, Zephyr suddenly shouted, pointing at the sky!
Kong, Garp, Sengoku, Tsuru, Kuzan, and the other Marines who were not in battle all looked up at the sky!
Everyone's eyes widened in an instant!
Below the thunderclouds, a thick bolt of lightning, nearly ten meters in diameter, struck down!
Rumble!
The deafening roar showed the immense ferocity of this lightning!
The lightning all surged towards Rono! No... it looked as if the lightning had swallowed Rono whole!
"What is he doing?!"
"Is he trying to use the power of nature?"
"If he can't control it, it will be mutual destruction!"
Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, Kong, Tsuru, and the others present were stunned when they saw the lightning strike!
Rono was trying to use the power of nature!
If he could do it, the destructive power of his moves would be enhanced by dozens, even hundreds of times!
After all, an ordinary punch might seem mediocre. But if the fist was imbued with natural forces like lightning, magma, or flames, one punch could kill!
If Rono could make good use of the power of nature, then his already powerful swordsmanship, Haki, and strength, combined with a power boost of dozens of times!
The consequences were unimaginable!
However, the power of nature was not so easily used. Lightning could reach hundreds of millions of volts. If not controlled properly, one could be blasted to smithereens.
After half a minute, the lightning suddenly dissipated!
After it dissipated, Rono's figure finally appeared before everyone!
At this moment, everyone discovered that Rono's Kotetsu had changed!
Kotetsu was now covered in crackling, azure lightning! It contained a terrifying power of thunder!
Then, Rono covered Kotetsu with his Haki, suppressing the violent lightning!
"He actually... successfully controlled the power of thunder!"
"Did he suppress it with Haki?!"
"That kind of precision is not something an ordinary person can achieve!"
Kong, Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, and the others couldn't believe that Rono had actually succeeded!
"No, this move, it seems to be Silver Axe's move!"
"That's right, Silver Axe has an extremely powerful move. It couldn't be that one, could it!"
Then, Garp's eyes widened as he recalled his battles with the Rocks Pirates! However, the lightning summoned by Silver Axe was far inferior to Rono's. Therefore, Garp and the others didn't recognize it at first. With Rono's talent, learning Silver Axe's move was a piece of cake.
"So he was going to use the power of nature!"
Opposite Rono, the sword-wielding Five Elder's pupils contracted sharply!
Danger!
Extreme danger!
Releasing his Observation Haki, he could feel the terrifying power of thunder attached to Rono's Kotetsu! It was as if a thunder god could burn everything in the mortal world to ashes!
However, at this point, the sword-wielding Five Elder, knowing the danger, had to press on! After all, his own move was not to be underestimated!
"Ah!!"
The sword-wielding Five Elder roared, no longer holding back! He released all of his sword intent!
Then, behind the Five Elder, the demon's face became clearer and clearer! No, that face didn't seem to be a demon's!
It was the Grim Reaper!
[Congratulations to the host for successfully picking up Grandmaster-level swordsmanship, current progress: 58.9%!]
"What powerful sword intent!"
Rono could feel the extreme sword intent on the Shodai Kitetsu.
"However, only your swordsmanship is worthy of praise."
Rono said in a deep voice, raising his own sword intent to its peak!
He was, after all, a grandmaster swordsman!
"Extremely arrogant!"
The sword-wielding Five Elder's eyes were bloodshot!
This strike was a must-hit!
"Kitetsu: Iai Ten Styles!"
Gripping the Shodai Kitetsu with both hands, the sword-wielding Five Elder slashed through the air!
Swish!
A terrifying sword slash rose from the ground, shooting towards Rono!
The sword slash even transformed into the face of the Grim Reaper in mid-air, baring its fangs and claws, its demonic aura overwhelming!
"Kotetsu: Kirin!"
Facing the sword-wielding Five Elder's slash, Rono was not flustered at all!
He closed his eyes, feeling the breath of the sword.
Kotetsu, glowing with azure electricity, was swung!
"Hiss~ Roar~"
The next moment, a sword slash carrying Conqueror's Coating and the power of thunder cut through the air!
The sword slash transformed into the mythical beast Kirin in mid-air!
Hissing and roaring, its momentum was immense!
"Here it comes!"
The Marines present, Kong, Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, Tsuru, and the others, all held their breath!
Grim Reaper VS Kirin!
Who would win and who would lose!
The moment the Kirin and the Grim Reaper touched in the air!
The Kirin opened its bloody maw and bit at the Grim Reaper!
The Grim Reaper, on the other hand, wielded its long scythe, swinging it wildly at the Kirin!
Crash! Rip! Rumble!
The moment they collided, the extreme clash of the two sword auras formed a huge explosion that instantly swept across the area!
Sword auras crisscrossed, and the white light was so dazzling that people couldn't see the details of the battlefield!
They could only hear the fierce biting and clashing of the Kirin and the Grim Reaper!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The explosion quickly reached its peak! Then the energy was unleashed!
Only after several minutes did it calm down!
"Who won!"
After the explosion ended!
Kong, Garp, Zephyr, Sengoku, and the others immediately looked towards the center of the battlefield!
Rono and the Five Elder had both pulled away from each other, panting heavily!
Was it a draw?
Just as everyone was wondering.
"What is that!"
Just then, the sharp-eyed Sengoku suddenly saw something left behind at the center of the battlefield!
"That's!"
Then, Kong, Zephyr, and Garp looked carefully and were stunned to find!
At the spot where Rono and the sword-wielding Five Elder had just fought, a severed arm had appeared out of nowhere!
The severed end of the arm was covered in blood!
And this severed arm, as if it had a will of its own, was still tightly gripping a famous sword!
The Shodai Kitetsu
