Chapter 170: The Lion Cuts the Void
The air seemed to freeze.
The black sphere in Killer B's mouth had been compressed to the limit. The surrounding space produced visible distorted ripples due to the high-density chakra gathering. It wasn't just an aggregation of chakra, but pure will of destruction.
"Die!"
With a roar in Killer B's heart, the black death star wasn't sprayed directly but swallowed by him. Subsequently, chakra expanded frantically in his abdominal cavity. A black beam of light capable of piercing mountains, accompanied by a deafening roar, spewed from his mouth!
Rumble—!
The earth wailed. The rain along the path was instantly evaporated into nothingness. The black light beam, wrapped in the momentum to destroy everything, pounced straight for the Golden Lion's face!
This strike was unavoidable!
However, facing this attack capable of destroying heaven and earth, the Golden Lion made no hand signs, didn't dodge, and didn't even restrain the maniacal laughter at the corner of his mouth by half.
He only made one movement.
Holding the sword with both hands, raised high above his head.
In that instant, the violent chakra on his body suddenly became quiet. No, not quiet, but forcibly compressed and condensed to the limit!
The blade seemed heated to the extreme.
The long sword in his hand began to tremble. The blade, originally reflecting cold light, actually strangely transformed into a blinding white-gold color!
"Even without Haki..."
The three tomoe in the Golden Lion's eyes almost connected into a line. His voice was low, yet clearly pierced through the roar of the Tailed Beast Bomb.
"I am still the Golden Lion!"
"Lion: Thousand Cut Valley!!"
Hum—!
The long sword swung down.
No fancy movements, just a slash pure to the extreme.
In the next second, a white-gold blade beam dozens of meters long, like a crescent moon, flew from the sword!
The moment this blade beam appeared, the surrounding air emitted a piercing screech, as if even space was cut open by this strike. It slammed fearlessly into that terrifying black Tailed Beast Bomb light beam!
Sizzle—!!!
The moment the two forces collided, there was no immediate explosion, but a tooth-aching cutting sound.
Garp, watching from the distance, snapped his half-squinted eyes open. His pupils reflected the incredible scene. Did this old thing grow so fast?!
The white-gold flying slash actually cut open the high-density Tailed Beast Bomb light beam like cutting tofu!
The black torrent of energy was split in two, whistling past both sides of the Golden Lion's body, bombing ruthlessly into the forest and cliffs behind him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Earth-shattering explosions rang out behind the Golden Lion. Two massive mushroom clouds rose into the sky, the violent blast wave instantly uprooting trees for miles around.
But in the center of the explosion, in the center of the battlefield plowed with a deep trench...
The Golden Lion maintained the posture of swinging the sword downward, unharmed!
The momentum of the blade beam he slashed out didn't diminish. It plowed a bottomless canyon into the earth, extending all the way to Killer B's feet, forcing Killer B in Tailed Beast Transformation to jump awkwardly sideways.
"This... how is this possible?!"
Eight-Tails Gyūki inside Killer B let out an incredulous exclamation. "To compress chakra to this degree? No! This is impossible! Without nature transformation, relying purely on chakra density and shape, how could it cut open a Tailed Beast Bomb?!"
This completely violated the common sense of the ninja world!
It was clearly just ordinary chakra, so why could it exert such massive power!!
What it didn't know was that this slash contained not just changes in chakra, but the Golden Lion's Intent. It was a monstrous move born from infusing the realm of the Great Swordsman, immersed for decades in the pirate world, into the chakra system of this world!
"Phew..."
The Golden Lion slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. The long sword in his hand, unable to withstand the terrifying chakra outburst just now, gave a crisp crack and became covered in cracks.
Tch!
But he didn't care.
He raised his head. In those crimson Sharingan eyes, the color of madness was even greater. There was even a faint, colder, more powerful pupil power brewing, as if something was about to break out of the soil.
"Oi, that... Jinchuriki over there?"
The Golden Lion pointed the shattering long sword at the shaken Killer B, his laughter hoarse and rampant.
"Got any other moves? If not, it's my turn!"
...
In the distance, behind a rock.
"Tsk."
Garp looked at the figure standing in the center of the ruins, arrogant beyond measure, and couldn't help clicking his tongue, reaching out to scratch his messy curly hair.
"Shiki, this old bastard..."
Garp's tone carried a few points of disgust, but deep in his eyes flashed a trace of appreciation only an old rival could read.
"Actually managed to cause this kind of commotion."
Garp knew better than anyone the weight of that slash just now.
The body was new, the power system was new.
The Haki, Devil Fruits, and even the bodies tempered a thousand times that they prided themselves on had not been brought over. The only things brought over were memories, and the battle instincts and realms carved deep in the soul.
That move just now already had fifty percent of that old guy's power in his prime.
This guy actually forcibly used chakra energy to simulate the effect of Haki projection, and even combined it with the Fire Release nature he learned in this world to create a "Nintaijutsu Kendo" unique to him.
"Truly an unreasonable lunatic."
Garp grinned, revealing a mouthful of pearly white teeth. His originally lazy stance adjusted slightly, muscles all over his body beginning to tense.
"However, since that old fossil has gone this far, if this old man keeps slacking off, won't I be laughed at by him for a lifetime?"
He turned his head, looking at A nearby who was similarly awed by that strike just now. He clenched his fist, knuckles emitting popping sounds like cracking beans.
...
In the tree crown.
Black Zetsu, who had been expressionless, now revealed an emotion in his single eye that couldn't be described as shock.
It was ecstasy.
It was the ecstasy of finally fishing up a peerless gem after fishing for a needle in the ocean for decades!
Worthy of Mother's bloodline descendant. With his help, the Eye of the Moon Plan will definitely be greatly accelerated.
White Zetsu tilted his head. "His sword broke."
"That's not important!" Black Zetsu interrupted White Zetsu. "What's important is, I saw the light of evolution in his eyes! That Eight-Tails Jinchuriki did very well. Push him again! Just push him one more time..."
"Those cursed eyes are about to awaken!"
...
Center of the battlefield.
Killer B looked at the Golden Lion, who only had a hilt left in his hand, and his suspended heart relaxed a little.
"Yo! Your sword shattered, stupid bastard! A lion without teeth can only become a kitty cat! Check it out!"
Although Killer B was still rapping, his body dared not be careless in the slightest. The eight tails behind him danced frantically, ready to launch the next round of attacks at any time.
"Sword?"
The Golden Lion casually threw away the hilt in his hand.
Rain wet his long hair. He raised his hands, ten fingers spread open like two claws.
"Jihahahaha..."
"Brat, did you misunderstand something?"
Chakra on the Golden Lion erupted again. This time, the ground beneath his feet began to vibrate violently. Countless rubble, broken blades, and even tree trunks blown away were slowly floating into mid-air under the traction of chakra threads.
Although he didn't have the Float-Float Fruit.
He was an Uchiha.
"As long as I wish it, my sword is everything in this world!"
Countless floating debris instantly turned their edges, all pointing at Killer B!
"Lion: Wild Waves!!"
