Chapter 148
After confirming their opponents, Linlin no longer hesitated and strode after Coleman.
Vilin saw Gu Lei running toward the interior of the island and immediately chased after him with long strides. He planned to personally kill Gu Lei to vent Aurora's anger.
Once everyone had found their opponents, only Rocks, Newgate, and Blite remained at the original spot.
Seeing only the three of them left here, a ferocious smile appeared on Blite's face.
"Rocks! I'll take your head!"
As Blite's words fell, his figure instantly turned into a purple afterimage and charged toward Rocks. Looking at Rocks right in front of him, Blite smashed a fist toward Rocks' head.
Feeling the massive power carried by Blite's fist, a trace of seriousness appeared in Rocks' eyes.
Although his strength had already reached Admiral level, if he didn't use the Dark-Dark Fruit, he was still slightly weaker than the opponent.
Watching Blite's fist wrapped in purple ghostly aura coming at him, Rocks' eyes flashed with determination. He met it with a punch of his own.
Bang!
With a powerful shockwave exploding between them, Rocks was pushed back several steps by Blite's tremendous force before stopping.
Seeing the opponent so strong, intense battle intent gradually burned in Rocks' eyes.
At this moment, the most shocked person was Blite. Seeing that Rocks only retreated a few steps under his full-power strike, shock appeared on his face.
Blite vaguely remembered that in their battle two years ago, Rocks had been easily overpowered by him.
He hadn't expected the other party to now be on the same level as him.
Looking at Blite's incredulous expression, Rocks showed a confident smile and let out a series of hearty laughs.
"Hahahahaha!" "Blite, don't underestimate me!" "The current me is not the me from two years ago!"
Hearing Rocks' smug laughter, Blite's face instantly darkened.
His eyes fixed on Rocks. His figure flashed, and he punched toward Rocks again.
Seeing Blite attack once more, Rocks also withdrew his smile.
He tightly gripped his fist wrapped in Armament Haki and clashed with Blite head-on.
Seeing Rocks and Blite engaged in battle, intense battle intent also erupted in Newgate's eyes.
"Gurararara!" "I've been waiting for this fight for a long time!"
With those words, Newgate seized the opportunity, swung the Murakumogiri in his hand, and slashed toward Blite's back.
With a chilling blade light cutting through the air, Blite immediately felt a chill behind him. He had no choice but to twist his body and kick toward Newgate's incoming blade light.
Clang!
Sparks flew in all directions.
Rocks saw Blite's figure pause slightly. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he punched toward Blite's back.
Bang!
Soon Blite was heavily blasted away by Rocks' punch.
Feeling the tremendous force from his back, Blite forcibly controlled his body and heavily landed on the ground before stopping his retreat.
Looking at the two charging toward him again, Blite felt somewhat stifled to realize he could no longer suppress them.
Especially since Rocks had reached Admiral level — his combat power was now very close to his own.
Combined with Newgate's support, this made him extremely uncomfortable.
Soon the three were fighting again.
With violent shockwaves continuously exploding in front of them, for a time, the steel buildings nearby were twisted and deformed by the powerful force of their clashes.
While Rocks, Newgate, and Blite were locked in a fierce battle, Lucas, full of rage, also engaged Shiki.
Seeing a black shadow charging toward him, Shiki drew the two great swords at his waist and instantly swung out two golden slashes over a hundred meters long, sweeping toward the opponent.
"Jie hahahahaha!" "Let me test your strength!" "I hope you can last a bit longer!"
As Shiki's laughter fell, two golden blade lights appeared directly in front of Lucas.
Feeling the power of this strike, Lucas's pupils contracted. He immediately raised his claws covered in golden fur and grabbed toward the two sword lights.
Clang!
A sound of clashing metal rang out from Lucas's palm. Soon Shiki was shocked to see his usually unstoppable slash directly shattered by the opponent.
"Shiki, die!"
After blocking Shiki's attack, Lucas threw his head back and roared, transforming into a phantom shadow and charging toward Shiki. In a flash, he appeared in front of Shiki and smashed a fist toward Shiki's chest.
Seeing Lucas's speed not inferior to his own, Shiki's originally casual eyes also became serious.
He raised his long sword and clashed with Lucas's fist.
As they fought, sparks flew around them.
At the same time, Vilin and Charlotte Linlin also faced Gu Lei and Coleman.
Vilin looked at the mud continuously dripping from Gu Lei's body onto the ground, a strange look appearing in his eyes.
However, he showed no contempt — he didn't think the vice-captain of the Iron Wall Pirates was a simple opponent.
Seeing that Gu Lei had no intention of attacking first, Vilin had no choice but to launch the first attack.
"Believe me, if I kill you, Blite will definitely feel great pain!"
With Vilin's words falling, his figure instantly shot toward the opponent like a meteor, carrying tremendous impact force.
Hearing Vilin's words, Gu Lei's eyes instantly became as vicious as a venomous snake.
"Die!"
"After killing you, I still need to support my big brother!"
As Vilin's figure disappeared from the spot, he quickly arrived in front of Gu Lei.
Seeing that Gu Lei had no intention of defending, Vilin also showed a puzzled look.
But he didn't think too much and punched toward Gu Lei's body.
Seeing Vilin being so arrogant, Gu Lei's mouth curled into a strange smile.
Mud Devour!
Soon Gu Lei's body turned into soft mud and swallowed Vilin's fist into his body.
Seeing he had succeeded, Gu Lei immediately let out arrogant laughter.
"Hahahahaha!" "This old man is the swamp that can devour everything!" "Just wait to be sucked into my body and suffocate to death!"
