Chapter 1163 Settling the Karma
"God avoids!"
With a deep shout that shattered the air, Shanks' hand holding the sword was as steady as a rock, and the Conqueror's Haki surging around him had reached a state of perfection. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the greatest master of his time. Looking across the world, perhaps only Iron Fist Garp could suppress him.
In just a few breaths, the black flames and crimson lightning swirling around the Griffin Blade became terrifyingly violent!
That was an aura powerful enough to terrify ordinary pirates and leave them paralyzed on the ground. Even the surrounding air seemed to freeze under its pressure, rippling in the wind.
Garin's pupils contracted sharply, and a metallic taste rose in his throat. He hadn't even seen Shanks' movements!
The red-haired figure vanished from sight like a ghost. The next instant, excruciating pain swept over his entire body like a tidal wave, and the cracking sound of bones shattering was piercing and terrifying.
Consciousness, like a flickering candle in the wind, rapidly dissipates and fades, eventually plunging into boundless darkness.
Shanks slowly dissipated the Conqueror's Haki that clung to his blade, and his fierce aura receded like a receding tide.
He sheathed Griffin with a soft clang, then turned his neck and glanced indifferently at Garin lying in a pool of blood behind him.
His angular face, with its sparse stubble, remained completely expressionless, showing neither the satisfaction of a successful revenge nor the indifference of slaying an enemy, only a calm as still as a deep well.
"Cause and effect... are severed!"
Shanks uttered those words in a low voice, and the pent-up emotions that had been building up in his chest for years finally dissipated.
Shamrock's aura had also vanished. From this moment on, he severed all ties with the past, broke free from the shackles of his birth, and his soul was completely freed from its constraints, reaching the unfettered state of freedom that Captain Roger had attained.
......
"Hahahahaha!"
A burst of hearty laughter echoed across the battlefield, completely out of place amidst the desolate atmosphere of broken walls and wailing cries.
Anyone familiar with the Straw Hat crew could immediately recognize the source of the laughter without even looking up—who else could it be but Monkey D. Luffy?
That laughter was full of vibrant life force, the unique spiritedness he exuded when he awakened his Gum-Gum Fruit and transformed into the sun god Nika.
This is the battlefield where Luffy is. Smoke fills the air, and debris flies everywhere. He has quite a few enemies and is constantly being besieged.
It's not that Luffy hasn't achieved anything yet; it's just that his enemy is Mas, one of the Five Elders currently active and the only surviving member of the Five Elders. Naturally, he has quite a few allies.
Moreover, after his helper was killed, a new helper immediately joined in, like a piecemeal attack. In addition, his helpers were all primitive demons with immortal bodies. At this moment, there were five primitive demons attacking Luffy together with Maz!
"Is this never going to end?"
Dressed in all white, Luffy's legs moved like tires as he ran through the air.
He felt he was getting tired and old, so he ran into the air to rest and also wanted to see what was happening on other battlefields!
As he looked around, there was hardly any fighting left, and the Primal Demons were no longer free. This gave Luffy a boost of spirits, and his heart began to pound again, accompanied by a peculiar drumbeat!
"Hahahaha! Finally, it's all gone!"
As the special drumbeats sounded, Luffy was once again full of energy and enthusiasm. After rounding a bend, he ran back to the battlefield with Maz.
Actually, Maz can fly after transforming, but he doesn't dare to fly alone because he's no match for Straw Hat Luffy by himself!
Although the original demon also had bat wings, it couldn't actually fly; it could only glide. So Maz could only watch helplessly as the Straw Hat Boy took to the sky!
As soon as his toes touched the ground, Luffy began pounding his chest like a drum, and then his body began to inflate as if it were filled with air, growing to over fifty meters in size before stopping!
Although it can't compare to the ancient giant bloodline of Loki, it is much larger than the average giant and looks quite frightening!
However, this is not Luffy's ultimate form. He can actually continue to grow bigger, but there is no need to do so now!
"This?... He's recovered again. Is this Nika's ability? It's almost like being immortal!"
Maz's face was grim. The battle had turned so far, and the overall situation was completely one-sided. If Lord Im also lost in the end, then the Celestial Dragons would truly be facing the greatest crisis in their history, and might even be wiped out!
As for Nika's regenerative ability, it was actually something that Im learned from Joy Boy's Devil Fruit ability. However, she wanted to achieve it in one step. Simply recovering wasn't enough; immortality was the true goal, which is the origin of the law of immortality!
"They've all finished, I can't let them down!"
Luffy grinned, revealing a set of neat white teeth. His giant body moved as fast as the wind, and he reached out and grabbed a Primal Demon. Although the Primal Demon was also several meters tall, in his hands it was about the size of a large figurine.
Caught in someone's grasp, the primal demon struggled violently, but showed no sign of breaking free.
Before the other demons and Maz could come to help, Luffy's hands were already surging with a large amount of Conqueror's Haki. Amidst the crackling of crimson lightning, Luffy had already crushed the Primal Demon in his hands!
He loosened his grip, letting the fragments slide off his palm, and shook off the unpleasant liquid from his hand.
"Hehe! Another one!"
Luffy chuckled and slapped Itsumade, who had flown close to launch a surprise attack, flying away. He didn't stop with his feet either, kicking several primitive demons into the ground with a few high kicks, their blood staining the soles of his slippers.
If you're not strong enough, transforming into a giant makes you a sitting duck, but if you're strong enough, becoming gigantic is very advantageous, just like Luffy right now and Loki before!
Luffy was beating the Five Elders and the Divine Knights like it was nothing. He hadn't even used any of his newly developed techniques, yet he was already showing signs of a complete rout. If he were to unleash his ultimate move, the Monkey God Spear, Maz would probably be reduced to ashes!
However, such powerful moves are not easy to use when facing a siege, since powerful moves require accumulating power, and will the enemy give you that time?
Moreover, the Monkey God Spear can destroy a small island with a single punch, so it would take even longer to accumulate Conqueror's Haki.
When facing enemies of the Five Elders and the Primal Demon, there's really no time to build up Haki. The simplest and most direct moves are more effective!
Just like Luffy grabbed the original demon and prevented it from escaping, then released Conqueror's Haki to crush it to death. Even if it was a little slower, he could still achieve his goal!
Maz, who was sent flying by a slap, quickly flew back. Luffy's simple slap, apart from being extremely insulting, had almost no effect on the Five Elders who possessed immortality.
So as long as you break free from the force that sends you flying, you can quickly return to the battlefield.
Itsumade is a combination of bird and beast. It has the form of a bird, but its body is made up of a beast. It has sharp teeth, claws and a tail. It is somewhat similar to the intermediate state of dinosaurs evolving into birds, that is, a creature that has not fully evolved!
Of course, that's in the ordinary world. In the world of One Piece, these strange-looking creatures actually exist as mythical beasts!
Flames burned on parts of his body, and flames swirled around his head and neck, giving him a somewhat imposing look. Coupled with his immortality, his potential was quite high.
