With Lily's words, King couldn't help but adjust his stance, the flames behind his head burning even brighter.
The Lunarians have a racial trait; the flame behind their head in its normal state can greatly increase their defense, and when the flame disappears, it greatly enhances their speed.
But at this moment, he dared not let the flames go out easily.
If others had said these words, he could consider them boastful. Even with Roronoa Zoro, who was fiercely battling him now, he merely regarded him as a formidable opponent, worthy of serious attention but not to the point of being overly cautious.
But this woman is different...
Not only are her achievements and deeds spread across the seas, but seeing her in person, one can feel her formidable presence...
Incredibly strong!
"Ghost Slash!"
Zoro initiated the attack, and with the Haki-infused slash, the ripple alone shattered the ground, and the high rock on which Lily stood crumbled into pieces. It was at this moment, Lily leaped forward, and as she stepped, smoke rings dispersed, and a streak of lightning shot from the sword tip, making her appear like quick-moving lightning, swiftly reaching Zoro.
"Extreme Thunder."
Clang!!
The three swords crossed, holding against the two-finger-wide thin sword tip, Zoro slightly raised his head and showed a grim smile to the revealed Lily: "This time, I blocked it!"
"Thunder Net."
Lily just twisted her wrist, and lightning exploded from the rotating white thunder sword, weaving into a net, covering Zoro.
"Three-Sword Style: Crow Demon Hunt!"
Zoro swung Enma to ward off Lily's sword tip, the three blades went wild like the wind, unleashing rapid and continuous slashes, the Haki enshrouding the blade ignited with green flames, instantly breaking through the lightning and then forcefully slashing forward in a criss-cross 'X' shape.
"Futile."
Hovering in the air, Lily raised her hand and also launched a blue slash, shattering the three intersecting slashes, and as her sword tip pointed towards Zoro below, the rear inexplicable began to blaze.
"Blade Dual Emperors!"
King transformed into his Human-Beast Form, wings flapping, unleashing a barrage of flame bullets, arriving behind Lily.
"Such a thing..."
Boom!
Lily lightly stepped in the air, dodging the rapidly arriving flame bullets like refracted lightning, flashing in the sky, with the sword in hand spitting out lightning again.
"Eight Thunderbirds!"
The sword swung, releasing eight bird-shaped lightning, swiftly flying towards the two below.
Zoro cleaved through the lightning with his three swords, while King rapidly transformed into a human-shaped pteranodon, spinning into a disc and burst through the lightning, then quickly advancing towards the opponent.
The battle was not focused on just that woman alone; they were enemies too!
Clang!
But just as the two charged forward, a bolt of lightning descended rapidly, almost instantaneously splitting into two. One being deflected by Zoro's three swords, sparking, and the other striking King's wing, also sparking, suspending their actions.
And at that moment of suspension, a flash of cold light swiftly shot out from their throats.
Huff!
King swiftly retreated like a spinning shuttle, evading the cold gleam, while Zoro crouched low, tilting his head aside, intersecting his three swords to guard against the cold gleam.
The cold gleam turned into a blade, just resting on Zoro's swords.
"So fast!"
Zoro solemnly said: "Was it a simultaneous attack just now?!"
The sword is only one, but it felt unmistakable, as the woman descended, she almost attacked them at the same time. If not for timely reaction from the Observation, this sword could have struck his throat!
"Blocked?"
Lily then replied to Zoro's previous words, glancing over, her long leg directly kicking Zoro's exposed chest, sending him flying straight out.
"You didn't block it, though..."
Lily swiftly retracted her leg, bending her knee slightly, shooting out a bolt of lightning, with its tip emitting trailing blue winds, with a boom, gouging a huge trench in the ground below, swiftly piercing towards Zoro's forehead.
Clang!!
"Yama's Three-Sword Style!"
The sword blade emitting blue winds was still blocked by the three swords, and 'Enma' in his right hand erupted with red electricity.
"Oh?" Lily's eyes showed surprise.
"Fire Dragon Emperor!"
More intense flames arose behind, seemingly burning the entire sky.
Lily vanished like lightning, following the momentum and swung a sword towards the rear, with just one stroke, the huge fire dragon pillar charging from behind was torn into two halves from the center.
"Purgatory Ghost Slash!"
Scoff!
The split fire dragon pillar was shredded into pieces under Zoro's sword, scattering into sparks in the night sky.
"Ha, ha... didn't it hit?" Zoro gasped for breath.
"Supreme King..."
King waved a flame-wrapped blade, glancing at Lily beside him, then focusing on Zoro, "Are both of you aspiring to be kings?"
"I have a promise with my comrades; I don't understand what you're saying!" Zoro said in a deep voice.
"Is that your Supreme King?"
Lily furrowed her brows, "That demon sword... is unusual."
That peculiar Supreme King, unsure if it's this Green Algae Head's or emitting from that sword.
That Enma doesn't seem like a blade that can be well mastered.
"Of course, this sword... over time, without you guys killing me, it will claim my life, I must end the battle!" Zoro gripped Enma tightly.
"Looks like I was right..."
Lily said: "It really is just a sword stand... Hey, Roronoa Zoro, do you remember what you're aiming to do?"
