Chapter 231 - 70

Chapter 70 The Magical Triangle War (2): Divine Punishment and the Promise!Inside the ancient castle shrouded in darkness, Moonlight Moriah slowly entered a giant ice vault."Kishishishi!" Moriah looked at the frozen tall giant. He was 67 meters tall, with red hair and upward-curving bull horns. His skin was pale green, his mouth had fangs, and he had three skull marks on his body, wearing a hat decorated with bull horns.The terrifying oppressive feeling showed the power of the giant!"Damn Straw Hat, although I couldn't find a suitable shadow, still...!"After a moment of silence, Moriah waved his hand, and hundreds of black shadows poured into Oars' body.Soon, the giant Oars opened his eyes, and his hands forcefully broke free from the ice. His voice was slightly deep, "Master...!"Moriah's expression changed again and again, "Kishishishi, go out and stretch your legs!"Oars punched through the freezer and leaped from a high altitude towards the forest."Boom!"Oars landed on his feet, stones splattered, and trees toppled!Just as Oars began to overturn everything,A blue lightning bolt appeared in the sky, blue electric arcs crackled and condensed.Gradually, a hundred-meter-long trident was formed, and then it began to rotate continuously, stirring up winds and waves!"This is!? Kaido??" Moriah looked through the hole and saw this scene, his eyes wide with fear, but more so with anger and hatred!"Divine Punishment Thunder Halberd!"The lightning trident moved, falling at light speed, directly piercing Oars.The powerful impact shook the ground within a hundred-meter radius.Oars roared continuously.This attack, capable of collapsing mountains and splitting stones, seemed to have no effect on his body.No, the lightning halberd pierced through Oars' body, firmly pinning him in place."Kishishishi! Straw Hat!" Moonlight Moriah looked at the figure in the sky, feeling the exploding electric arcs around him.He was nearly seven meters tall, corpulent, with pale skin and a hideous suture line on his neck.His onion-shaped head had two small horns, and his mouth was filled with sharp fangs."Yo, Moriah!"As soon as the voice fell, the figure whose face was unclear suddenly darted in front of him.That black-blue lightning-Entangled fist heavily smashed into Moriah's huge belly."Bang!"Giant Mach rings rose one after another, and Moriah's figure smashed through the entire ancient castle, flying into the distance."Ugh ah!"Moriah's nerves went haywire, and the pain almost made him faint!But having experienced a battle with Kaido, he still kept his nerves taut!Sure enough, thunder and lightning flashed in the dark clouds!"Armament - Gomu Gomu no Thunder Axe!"Luffy's stretched leg, wrapped in dark blue lightning, fell from above."Shadows Asgard!"Moriah instantly transformed into countless bats, dodging the attack.The thunderous kick slammed into the ground, plowing a crack hundreds of meters long and of unknown depth!Countless bats swarmed into the sky, seemingly wanting to bite Luffy.Suddenly, dark red Haoshoku lightning burst out, densely covering the entire space.Each bat was brutally torn apart, turning into black mist."Haoshoku!!"A bat in the distance widened its eyes. Ever since he was defeated by Kaido and began plotting his revenge, he had never encountered a Haoshokuuser.This level of Haoshoku was not much different from Kaido's at that time (Kaido was still in his growth period).Just as he was stunned,A fist magnified in his eyes."Bang!"The bat was punched from top to bottom, Penetrate through the ground, transforming into Moriah's figure, seemingly unconscious.Blue electric arcs fell by the edge of the pit, and a figure appeared."Too weak, no improvement at all!" Luffy shook his head. He had made great improvements in his two battles with Aokiji. But now, the gap was too big. Crushing was satisfying, but it didn't give much experience.Now, among the Shichibukai, besides Hawkeye, no one should be able to pressure him.Luffy looked at Oars, who was struggling hard, but didn't pay him any mind.This was just an experience package to help everyone build chemistry."However, his skin is really thick!" Although that move wasn't a full-power attack, it wasn't a casual strike either.But Oars was still full of vigor, with only parts of his skin charred black."As expected of a giant capable of moving a kingdom. If you were alive, I would really wish to fight you!"...In Hogback's courtyard,Brook leisurely leaned on his cane, slowly walking to a corridor.Suddenly, the paintings that were originally for decoration came to life, transforming into strange creatures one after another.They were on both sides of the corridor, dancing wildly, as if trying to prevent Brook from approaching.Brook said nothing, pressing his bony hand on his cane, and instantly drew his sword!As he charged forward, sword light flashed chaotically!After passing through the corridor, Brook slowly sheathed his sword into his cane."Swallow Banderole!"The moment the sword was sheathed, sword marks appeared on each of the painting monsters, and they shattered with a crash!Brook walked slowly, his gaze becoming increasingly resolute.Soon, he entered a room with a faint green glow; this was Hogback's laboratory."Tap—tap!"A skeleton man wearing wooden clogs and a kimono slowly emerged from the shadows, holding a simple-looking sword!"Yohohoho! You're here again, my former master!""I've come to take you back, my shadow!""No, you'll just be like before, 'Spare my afro, spare my afro!' just humiliatingly begging for mercy!" Ryuma drew the sword from his waist.It was a black blade, dark purple with red jagged patterns. The blade was a wavy edge, and the blade pattern was a large inverted choji, visually striking—Shusui!"No, not anymore!" Brook drew his cane sword and threw the scabbard aside.His figure charged forward at extreme speed, his sword thrusting and slashing with incredible swiftness!"Clang, clang, clang!"Ryuma and Brook exchanged blows, sword and blade clashing, sparking many fires!"For five years, in order to get a chance for revenge, I... have become stronger!"Brook's sword heavily struck Shusui!"Oh?" Ryuma lightly flicked his blade, cutting off Brook's hat!He then reversed his grip and stabbed through Brook's bony body!"Even if you've improved in these five years, do you think... I've been standing still? Our way of thinking is... the same!"Ryuma cut off Brook's hair strands with a single stroke."No, don't!" Brook blocked with his sword, deflecting Ryuma.Ryuma slowly landed, "Yohohoho! Still so concerned about your afro, this... is a weakness you can never get rid of!"Ryuma, holding Shusui, charged at Brook!"Shut up!" Brook stood with his sword ready.Swords and blades clashed, sparks flying!'Laboon, do you still remember us?'Ryuma struck Brook's bones with his sword.'On the perilous Grand Line, we were too weak, and all our companions died!'"Crack!" The black blade Shusui slashed horizontally, shattering his facial skull, and Brookfell to the ground.'Although I'm alive, my face, my body... everything is lost!Even if you saw me, in this skeletal form, you surely wouldn't recognize me!'Brook stood up, holding his cane sword, and charged at Ryuma.'Although I have nothing, at least this hairstyle, which everyone mocked as looking like Laboon...'Swords clashed, Brook retreated five steps, then charged again."This memory, I... will protect it to the end!"Shusui pierced Brook, and he slowly fell to the ground.'I will definitely come find you, I hope... you can wait for me, at... the promised strait!'Ryuma, the samurai holding Shusui, slowly approached Brook, "Yohohoho, what a boring emotion! If I didn't die if you died, do you think you would have lived until now?"Suddenly, a dragon-like sword energy shattered the wall and struck Ryuma.Ryuma blocked with Shusui, but the powerful impact still made him slide back dozens of meters.Then, Ryuma stomped his left foot hard on the ground and flicked Shusui!The sword energy was deflected, hitting the adjacent wall!"Boom!"The sword energy shattered the wall, flying into the sky, its destination unknown!Ryuma's body was tense, trembling, not from fear, but from excitement."A long-awaited swordsman!"Brook looked at the figure, his expression excited, "Zoro-kun!""...I've been searching for so long, and I finally found it!" Zoro held yubashiri, sword energy raging!He drew his other two swords, his eyes full of fighting spirit, "Come on! It's my turn, fight me... the legendary Dragon-Slaying Swordsman—Ryuma!"
