Chapter 202 The Great War of Wano Country
On that eerie and vast island, the atmosphere was so oppressive it felt like you could wring water out of it.
Minos stood on the ground, calmly watching Kaido, Shiki, and Charlotte Linlin, who were itching to make a move. A disdainful sneer curled at the corner of his mouth, as if mocking the overestimation of their abilities by these so-called strongmen.
"Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish."
His voice wasn't loud, but it was as clear as a booming bell, reaching everyone's ears amidst the atmosphere of an impending great battle.
As he finished speaking, Minos slowly raised his hands and gently waved them, his movements elegant yet exuding boundless majesty.
In an instant, the space around him distorted, and Puppet No. 1, Puppet No. 2, and Puppet No. 3 appeared out of thin air.
The moment these three puppets appeared, they exuded a chilling aura, an aura that had reached the pinnacle of the Four Emperors, like three insurmountable mountains, causing the surrounding air to tremble.
Minos's gaze was icy, like the biting wind of winter, sweeping over the three powerful puppets as he coldly said, "Clean up those small fry on Ghost Island!"
His tone was calm, yet carried an unquestionable command. Upon hearing this, the three puppets bowed to Minos in unison, their movements mechanical yet full of power.
Then, each of them picked up a longsword that emitted a cold, eerie light, and with a flash, they sped towards Kaido and his men like ghosts.
At the same time, Cheng Xiaoyu, standing to the side, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a confident smile.
Immediately afterwards, his aura suddenly erupted, and powerful energy spread out like a surging tide.
A dark purple halo instantly appeared beneath their feet, resembling a magic circle within it, swirling with a mysterious and dangerous light. As the light intensified, countless shadow soldiers surged forth from the dark purple halo.
These shadow soldiers were ethereal yet possessed a tangible power, with some of them exuding an aura that was terrifyingly powerful, faintly reaching the early stage of the King level.
These figures were the shadow soldiers that Cheng Xiaoyu summoned when Whitebeard died.
Now that Cheng Xiaoyu has broken through to the intermediate level of the King rank, his shadow soldiers have also risen in level, and their strength has been greatly enhanced.
Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the tens of thousands of shadow soldiers before him, who resembled a black tide, and chuckled with satisfaction. He then said, "Kill all the enemies."
Cheng Xiaoyu's voice was deep yet full of authority, as if it were a summons from the deepest hell.
Upon receiving the king's command, the shadow soldiers responded respectfully in unison, "We obey the king's orders."
The unified sound, like rolling thunder, echoed across the battlefield.
Having said that, these menacing shadow soldiers, radiating boundless killing intent, surged forward like a black torrent, fiercely attacking Kaido and his men's subordinates.
Upon seeing this, Kaido and his crew simply waved their hands, and their 50 pirates charged towards the Shadow Army like hungry wolves.
In an instant, shouts of battle and roars of anger mingled together, and the grand battle between tens of thousands of Shadow Soldiers and 50 pirates officially began.
The battlefield was a scene of chaos, with flashing swords, splattering blood, screams, and utter devastation.
At this moment, only Minos, Cheng Xiaoyu, Kaido, and Big Mom remain on the battlefield.
The Golden Lion charged into the battlefield without hesitation the moment the Shadow Army made its move.
However, his luck was truly bad. As soon as he entered the battlefield, he encountered the shadow of the original Whitebeard, who is now the King-level low-level Whitebeard.
Although the Golden Lion had recovered to his peak condition, he still hadn't broken through to the King level.
At this moment, after only exchanging a few blows with the bearded man, he deeply felt the power of the Shadow Soldiers. Each collision made his arm go numb, and he was secretly astonished.
However, the most important battlefields at this moment are undoubtedly Kaido's battle against Minos and Charlotte Linlin's battle against Cheng Xiaoyu.
Kaido gripped the massive spiked club tightly with both hands and swung it forcefully. At the same time, his Ryuo Haki appeared on the club like a lively flame, instantly enveloping it in a layer of flowing red energy, making it resemble a burning fire dragon.
Kaido laughed loudly, his voice booming like a bell: "Minos brat, take this first!" "Thunder Bagua!" With his roar, Kaido raised his spiked club high with both hands, and then swung it down with all his might towards Minos.
Instantly, the spiked club, carrying an overwhelming momentum and the force of thunder, charged fiercely towards Minos like a roaring thunder dragon.
Wherever it passed, the air was violently compressed, emitting a sharp whistling sound, and the ground trembled slightly.
Minos, seeing the spiked club hurtling towards him like a thunder dragon, showed no fear whatsoever; instead, a more disdainful smile appeared on his lips.
He slowly extended his right hand, and a purple energy instantly appeared on it.
This purple energy is different from the original; its color has become deeper, like a mysterious black hole in the universe, seemingly containing endless power.
At the same time, this purple energy also has a special ability in battle: it can completely envelop the entire body, transforming into a flowing, deep purple armor.
This clearly demonstrates that Minos's Armament Haki has reached its peak level, a characteristic only achievable at this stage.
However, at this moment, Minos did not cover his entire body with top-level Armored Haki, but only a layer of deep purple flowing energy armor appeared on his hands.
The armor shimmered with a mysterious light in the sunlight, as if proclaiming its power.
And so, Kaido charged at Minos with his spiked club, which resembled a thunder dragon, while Minos calmly extended his right hand and unhurriedly clashed with the club.
In an instant, the sound of "bang bang bang" rang out in the air like a dense drumbeat.
The instant their hands collided with the spiked club, an extremely powerful impact was generated. That impact, like a surging wave, spread outwards around the two of them.
The impact of the shockwave kicked up clouds of dust, and the once-hard ground was now riddled with tiny cracks.
This ground has been reinforced by the will of the world, and currently only a king-level powerhouse can completely change its shape.
Kaido had no time to worry about these things. He stared at Minos, who could block his Thunder Bagua with just one hand using only Armament Haki, his face grave. He was filled with shock.
"The difference is just too great; he actually withstood my attack with ease."
Kaido thought to himself, "Moreover, looking at Minos's extremely calm face, it seems that Minos hasn't used his full strength yet."
However, just as Kaido was deep in thought, Minos spoke first. "Kaido, don't you understand? My strength has already undergone a complete transformation, and you can't fool me."
Minos's voice was cold and full of mockery, like a sharp blade piercing straight into Kaido's heart.
After saying that, Minos slightly increased his strength, and his already powerful force instantly surged. In an instant, the huge spiked club was actually suppressed by Minos and slowly pressed down towards Kaido.
Kaido felt an irresistible force coming towards him. He tried his best to resist, but found that his strength was as insignificant as an ant in front of Minos.
Minos looked at the horrified Kaido and smiled slightly, a triumphant smile appearing on his lips, until the spiked club was firmly pressed down next to Kaido.
Then, to Kaido's astonishment, Minos suddenly exerted force, pushing Kaido and his staff far away.
Kaido flew through the air like a cannonball, tracing an arc before hurtling backward.
However, Minos did not give Kaido any chance to react.
He flashed and disappeared from his spot in a single stride, like a ghost, and then instantly appeared behind Kaido.
His right fist was tightly wrapped in deep purple flowing Haki, which resembled a burning flame, radiating intense power.
Without hesitation, Minos delivered a powerful punch to Kaido's back.
Instantly, Kaido felt an overwhelming force surge into his body, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. His body was sent flying dozens of meters away like a kite with a broken string.
Moreover, upon landing, he tumbled repeatedly on the ground due to the immense force.
Each roll left a deep mark on the ground, creating deep craters.
Dust billowed across the battlefield as he rolled, shrouding the area in a hazy mist.
Meanwhile, the battle between Charlotte Linlin and Cheng Xiaoyu was equally intense. Charlotte Linlin held Napoleon in her hand, stood with Prometheus beneath her feet, and exuded a terrifying aura.
She roared and charged toward Cheng Xiaoyu, the Napoleon sword in her hand gleaming with a cold light, as if she wanted to shatter everything.
Cheng Xiaoyu remained calm. With a gentle wave of his hands, streams of dark energy gathered around him.
As Charlotte Linlin's sword slashed towards him, Cheng Xiaoyu dodged to the side and simultaneously unleashed a burst of shadow energy, colliding with Charlotte Linlin's attack.
With a deafening roar, energy exploded, and the powerful shockwave sent the surrounding pirates and shadow soldiers flying.
Meanwhile, on another battlefield, the battle between Golden Lion and the low-level King-rank Beard had also reached a fever pitch. Golden Lion unleashed his signature move, sending a barrage of flying blades hurtling towards Beard.
Beard remained calm and composed. With a wave of his hands, a series of shadow barriers appeared in front of him, blocking the golden lion's attacks one by one.
Then, with a flash, the bearded man rushed towards the golden lion like a black lightning bolt and threw a punch.
Golden Lion hurriedly swung his sword to defend, but the powerful force still made his arm go numb and his feet stagger backward.
In an instant, the entire Ghost Island was enveloped in this great battle, with shouts of battle, roars of anger, and the sounds of colliding energy all intertwined.
