Chapter 98: Fierce Clash! Moment of Crisis
Hearing Lotte's mocking words.
Both White Fox and Night Leopard's faces darkened.
"Heh, if you're considered a small pirate, then there aren't many big pirates left in the entire New World!"
"Azure Emperor, no matter what you say this time, you're not getting away!"
Night Leopard sneered coldly.
Everyone knew they had waited like sitting ducks for a long time just to capture Lotte this time. No matter what, they absolutely would not let such a good opportunity slip away!
They had to kill Lotte right here!
Otherwise, if they let him grow any further, he would definitely become a major threat to them!
Although Zephyr didn't want to kill Lotte, the main responsibility this time lay with the two Admirals. At most, he was just support.
Naturally, he had no say in the two Admirals' decisions.
Lotte grinned upon hearing this.
"Is that so? Then I'm truly honored."
"I didn't expect Marine Headquarters to value me this much. Looks like I'll have to put on a good show!"
As his words fell, his figure instantly turned into a meteor-like streak.
He landed on the lush, green coast of that island.
"Bang!"
As his figure landed, two streaks of light followed closely behind.
In an instant, they kicked up astonishing dust on the coast, almost blinding everyone.
As the dust gradually dispersed.
Lotte calmly stared at Night Leopard and White Fox in front of him.
He naturally had ways to avoid the Admirals. After all, both Night Leopard and White Fox were Devil Fruit users and couldn't enter seawater.
But if he directly dived into the sea.
Night Leopard and White Fox would see through his intention at a glance. To fool these two old foxes, he still needed to fight a battle.
The combination of White Fox and Night Leopard.
Was undoubtedly the strongest enemy Lotte had ever faced.
"Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees!"
Lotte clasped his hands together without hesitation and shouted deeply.
The moment his words fell, the already lush trees on the island suddenly grew wildly!
Even the originally barren coast.
Was instantly enveloped by terrifying trees bursting forth!
Seeing this, Night Leopard and White Fox's expressions hardened. Especially White Fox, who immediately recalled what happened at Sabaody Archipelago. Anger surged uncontrollably.
"Heh, do you really think you can fight Marine Admirals?"
"Back then, if Whitebeard hadn't protected you, you'd already be dead at Sabaody Archipelago!"
White Fox sneered coldly.
Immediately after, white clouds suddenly spread from under his feet, surging across the ground toward Lotte. Any trees they touched.
Were instantly enveloped and covered.
Beside him, Night Leopard also clenched his fist. With a terrifying roar, his figure vanished from his spot in an instant.
Turning into a pitch-black streak of light.
He arrived in front of Lotte at astonishing speed and without hesitation threw a fierce punch straight at his chest!
"Zephyr, you're in charge of observation."
"Don't let this brat have any chance to escape. Be ready to intercept!"
Night Leopard shouted deeply while attacking.
This time, they had staked the dignity of two Marine Admirals. No matter what, they could not fail here!
As the terrifying iron fist came crashing down.
Lotte's figure instantly vanished from the spot, replaced by a brown wooden block.
"Bang!"
The wooden block was easily shattered to pieces. At the same time, Lotte's figure appeared to the side, hands clasped together once more, shouting deeply again.
"Wood Dragon Technique!"
The entire island began to shake violently.
Several terrifying wooden dragons formed from towering giant trees instantly surged toward Night Leopard!
But just as Lotte wanted to take the chance to retreat, he saw from within the clouds on the ground.
Ropes suddenly extended and wrapped around his arm.
The power transmitted from them caused Lotte's expression to change instantly. Without hesitation, he drew the sword at his waist and slashed fiercely.
"Shua!"
The Armament Haki-coated blade cut the ropes in half. At the same time, Night Leopard had already shattered the wooden dragons and stepped forward.
He arrived in front of Lotte once again.
His speed was so fast that Lotte didn't even have time to use Substitution Jutsu to dodge!
Seeing this, Lotte had no choice but to grip both sword hilts tightly. The moment pitch-black Armament Haki coated them, his blood-red Sharingan captured the exact position.
Then he adjusted his breathing.
Now, with his increased mastery of Sun Breathing, he could unleash even greater power and enter Total Concentration state.
"Ha!"
With a low shout.
Flames instantly wrapped around Shodai Kitetsu and Flame King. In an instant, they collided head-on with Night Leopard's iron fist.
"Clang!"
The metallic collision sound rang out sharply.
After a few seconds of deadlock, Lotte gritted his teeth and was still pushed back dozens of meters.
Night Leopard, as an awakened Zoan-type Devil Fruit user combined with powerful Marine Six Styles body techniques, had truly astonishing power!
Plus, White Fox was providing support from the side.
In this battle, it was almost unrealistic for Lotte to win.
But even in such a dangerous situation.
Lotte remained extremely calm.
After all, he had more than one life-saving method.
Besides being able to rely on entering seawater, eating the Time-Time Fruit could also resolve this crisis. For him, escaping this crisis wasn't difficult.
So even in this predicament.
Lotte still sneered coldly while staring at White Fox and Night Leopard.
"I never thought the mighty Marine Headquarters Admirals would be this cowardly."
"Two against one—what an honor for me."
At the same time.
He was also fully activating his Hashirama Cells.
The towering giant trees across the entire island, along with their rooted trunks, were instantly controlled.
[Ding! Host is currently battling Marine Admirals! All current experience values have been increased!]
Zephyr followed White Fox and Night Leopard to the coast.
Hearing Night Leopard's order, he quickly nodded and turned his gaze toward Lotte.
His expression immediately became grave.
He never expected that even two Admirals couldn't take Lotte down immediately.
The speed of the opponent's strength growth was even more terrifying than he had imagined. If they really let him escape this time, it would be endless trouble for the Navy in the future!
Night Leopard and White Fox had obviously realized this problem too.
So they didn't give up on the idea of teaming up. Now was not the time to care about face!
"Lotte, you truly have that value now!"
"So both of us will go all out to execute you right here!"
Night Leopard shouted deeply.
He exchanged a glance with White Fox beside him.
Without hesitation, the two once again charged toward Lotte.
Watching the two Admirals who showed no hesitation, Lotte raised an eyebrow and laughed.
"Good. Since you want to fight, I'll keep you company to the end."
"Let's see just how far my limits go right now."
