Chapter 150: The Fire Fist Reappears! Rogge's Absolute Crush
"boom--!!!"
Garp's Seraph's iron fist blasted out with a sonic boom, and Mengshida's monkey arm covered with armament color instantly twisted and deformed.
Punch roared and rushed forward to support, blocking Garp Seraph's follow-up punch. The man and the monkey flew backwards like kites with broken strings, plowing two furrows of dozens of meters on the beach.
"ROOM · Cut!"
Luo's scalpel flashed with a cold light.
"White Vine - Stab!"
Smoker's ten hands are wrapped around the edge of seastone.
Two fatal attacks hit the fallen Punch and Mengshida directly—
"Get out of here!!!"
Beckman's roar shook the battlefield!
The red-haired second-in-command actually managed to break through at the cost of taking a heavy punch from Rhett on his left shoulder, and his flintlock musket spewed out blazing flames!
The bullet wrapped around Haki accurately hit Law's scalpel slash, and at the same time, a kick deflected Smoker's ten-hand!
Blood oozed from the corner of Beckman's mouth, but his eyes were still sharp as a knife: "Everyone! Move closer to Shanks! Prepare to attack-"
Before he finished speaking, the earth suddenly shook violently!
"The Forest Tree World is coming!"
Accompanied by a deafening roar, the entire coastline instantly turned into a primitive jungle.
The thick tree trunk broke through the ground, and the vines grew wildly like a giant python!
What's even more terrifying is that on the Red Hair Group's retreat route, a hundred-meter-tall giant formed by thousands of trees rose from the ground!
"That's...!"
Beckman's pupils constricted.
Marine Vice Admiral - Aramaki!
Zephyr sneered and increased the force of his punch, forcing Shanks, who was trying to break through, back again. "We've been preparing for this game for a long time!"
The giant vine stood proudly, and the trees under its feet continued to multiply, and in the blink of an eye, it surrounded the entire battlefield into an airtight death cage.
"Red Hair Pirates..."
Aramaki's voice resonated through the trees and spread across the battlefield, "All of you will die here today!"
The sea breeze howled and the beach was stained with blood.
The tree world blocked the entire battlefield. The giant vines created by Aramaki stood like gods at the end of the coastline. Their thick roots penetrated the earth, forming an opaque "forest cage", making the entire bay seem like it was trapped in a green hell that swallowed everything.
The Red Hair Pirates are completely surrounded!
The situation took a turn for the worse!
There are Zephyr and Garp Seraphim in front, and Huangmu's tree cage behind.
Luo and Smoker have regrouped, Shiryu's "Thunderstorm" is bleeding, and Rhett and Bullet have also broken free from their entanglement and surrounded them!
The remaining members of the Red Hair Pirates formed a back-to-back formation, each of them with varying degrees of injuries.
"Sizzle——"
Beckman endured the severe pain and bit the cloth strip with his teeth to barely bind his dislocated left shoulder, his clothes stained with blood.
He stood up panting, but his eyes were still as sharp as a wolf.
"Shanks..."
He called out in a low voice, his tone more serious than ever before.
Beside him, Laki Lu had already stopped eating meat. His big body leaned against Shanks, blood gushing from his abdomen. His face was pale but his fangs were still exposed.
"It would be worth it to throw one more punch."
He grinned and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"sorry..."
Punch was half-kneeling on the ground, his entire right arm from the shoulder down was twisted as if burned, but he was still tightly protecting Mengshida.
Mengshida's body was like a piece of crushed iron and he had completely lost consciousness.
Lime Jones stared at the shadow of the Fujiki giant with empty eyes, his throat rolling as he whispered, "This...are we really going to die here?"
The branches pierced the surrounding ground like nails, each one carrying a devastating impact.
Blood soaked the boots, and the air was filled with the aftertaste of burning and thunder.
"Pah."
Shanks took a step forward.
The red cloak rustled in the blood mist and tree shadows. He held the hilt of the Griffin sword with one hand and looked at the nine powerful enemies blocking the battlefield.
Zephyr, Rhett, Bullet, Shiryu, Smoker, Law, Binz, Aramaki, and the Seraph that looked like a young Garp.
The fighting spirit was like frost, condensing from under his feet.
"Red hair—"
Zephyr stepped slowly, his fists wrapped in immortal blue flames, his face filled with an unshakable sternness.
"None of you can leave today!"
Shanks didn't respond, but just closed his eyes gently, and then said:
"Beckman."
"exist."
"Can you still shoot?"
Beckman held up the broken pipe and gave a wry smile. "Even if I only have one hand left... I can still blow their heads off."
"Laki Lu."
"Ahem... I can still kill three more."
"Punch, Rhyme Jones."
"exist!"
The two spoke in unison, with pride and determination.
Shanks took a deep breath, his eyes like a volcano about to erupt.
"Then fight to the end!"
He suddenly pulled out "Griffin", red light exploded, Conqueror's Haki swept across the entire field again, colliding violently with the Undead Blue Flame in the air!
The sky was torn apart in an instant, thunder roared, and the fighting spirit soared into the sky!
"Red Hair Pirates——"
"The final battle!!"
At that moment, all the members of the Red Hair Group, even though they were seriously injured, roared and rushed towards the enemy camp!
Beckman fired a shot, hitting Shiryu directly between the eyebrows!
Laki Lu roared and swung his huge fist to fight Bullet!
Punch gritted his teeth and threw the incendiary bomb at the center of the Aramaki tree trunk!
Lime Jones wrapped his two swords around Haki and slashed towards Luo!
Shanks suddenly stepped on the ground, and the sword light pierced through the clouds like a red sun, killing Zephyr directly!
"Zephyr——"
"You are not the one who will kill me today."
"I'll kill you!"
——Thunder roared, swords rang, and fire shook the earth, and the siege and killing battle broke out in full swing!
While the two sides in G5 are fighting to the death on the Bund, the battle for the Mera-mera Fruit is about to come to an end in the bullfighting arena of Dressrosa!
The moment Sabo's fingertips finally touched the glass cover, time in the entire arena seemed to freeze.
The Mera-mera Fruit glowed brightly in his hand, and Diamante's slash was already approaching Luffy's back—
"Sabo! Eat it!"
Luffy's roar shattered the silence.
Without hesitation, Sabo took a bite of the Devil Fruit.
An indescribable burning sensation spread from the throat to the whole body, but what was even hotter was the boiling fighting spirit in the chest!
"Fire Fist——!!!"
His right arm instantly transformed into an element, and the expanding flames turned into a giant fist with a diameter of ten meters, which pierced Diamanti's chest with a devastating force!
This one of Don Quixote's highest-ranking officials didn't even have time to scream before he was engulfed by the flames and turned into charred remains.
The fire wave continued to burn dozens of pirates along the way to ashes!
Qingjiao's Ba Chong Quan stance froze in mid-air, and Lao Cai's spear trembled slightly.
Bartolomeo's barrier ball shattered with a "pop", and Elizabello II slowly lowered his charged King's Fist.
Everyone stared at the figure standing in the sea of fire - the burning hat, the fluttering black coat, and the fighting posture that was exactly the same as the deceased Fire Fist.
"Ace's...flame..."
Luffy's voice choked.
Sabo turned, his flaming right hand gently pressing on his brother's shoulder. "Now this is our shared flame."
In this brief moment of tenderness——
"Tick, tick, tick..."
Slow, regular footsteps came from the entrance of the arena.
Every sound seemed to step on everyone's heart, and the invisible sense of oppression made the burning flames stagnate.
Rogge's figure came against the light, the hem of his coat of justice remained motionless. His calm gaze swept over the charred corpses of pirates on the ground, and finally fixed on Sabo's flaming fist that had not yet been extinguished.
"Pirates," the voice was quiet but made everyone's hair stand on end, "are you done?"
Fear began to spread. Rebecca in the dark covered her mouth tightly. This warrior who had faced Doflamingo without flinching was now shaking uncontrollably.
Cavendish, who did not compete for the position, stood beside her. His handsome face was extremely distorted. For the first time, his dormant personality refused to awaken - the biological instinct was screaming and fleeing!
In the center of the arena, the battle-hardened warriors also faced a formidable enemy:
Green Pepper's flat head was sweating profusely. "This feeling of oppression... is even more terrifying than Garp..."
The tip of Lao Cai's gun drooped slightly: "My body...can't move..."
Bartolomeo's barrier instinctively unfolded, but it shattered like glass when Rogge's gaze passed over it;
Elizabelo II's King's Fist stance completely collapsed;
Sabo's flames suddenly surged, forcibly dispelling some of the oppressive feeling: "Luffy, back off!"
"No!"
Luffy stood in front of Sabo, and Conqueror's voice suddenly burst out: "He is...Rogge!"
Rogge finally walked completely into the light. Luffy could no longer bear the pressure of the enemy who killed his brother right in front of him, and forcibly attacked Rogge!
Seeing this, Sabo rushed forward to attack Rogge, and the flames around him struggled and jumped in the broken air!
"I will never... let you erase Ace's will!!"
"Fire Fist!"
"Air Pressure Suffocation Cage!"
——At this moment, the breath of heaven and earth seemed to be cut off.
Rogge stood in the center of the flames, his palms trembling slightly, and a circle of shock waves invisible to the naked eye spread out, as if detonating an invisible storm, and the air structure in the arena collapsed instantly!
"hiss--!!"
Sabo's pupils suddenly contracted, and the Mera-mera Fruit flame that had just awakened seemed to be poured with a basin of ice water, and was instantly extinguished, and his entire right arm was charred and powerless!
He suddenly knelt down, blood gushed out of his mouth and nose, and the tearing sensation in his lungs was suffocating!
"Uh… huh, huh…"
Luffy's body fell in front of Sabo like a broken sack. He opened his mouth to shout, but all he could spit out was blood foam and a dry cough!
His eyes were bloodshot, and he tried to hold up Conqueror's Haki, but it was torn into pieces like thin paper in the air pressure field!
"Crackle…"
The stone pillars around the arena made crackling sounds due to the loss of air pressure, and the dozens of meter high statues on the stands exploded into pieces, with debris flying everywhere!
Qing Jiao, Lao Cai, Elizabelo II and other powerful men of the generation struggled to protect their heart meridians, but they also knelt on the ground, and blood slowly flowed out from all seven orifices. Even Conqueror's could not release it stably.
"Wh-what kind of power..."
Qingjiao supported himself on the ground with both hands, his lips trembling: "This is not just the ability of the fruit... This is the whole nature in harmony with him!"
Bartolomeo's barrier ball was like foam on the water, vulnerable to attack. He collapsed to the ground, his eyes twitching wildly, and he bit his fingers in a trembling voice:
"This is...this is too unfair...is this really something a human can do?!"
Elizabelo II's eyes widened in horror, his fists drooping limply.
In fear, Rebecca stared at Rogge in a daze, memories of her father being beheaded and her mother dying in a fire when she was a child crisscrossing her mind, but they were completely incomparable to the "human" in front of her.
——He is like the embodiment of atmosphere.
Like... a king to whom even the "air" succumbs!
"Ha…haha…"
The flames of the Mera-mera Fruit once again tried to ignite Sabo's thin body, but the vacuum of air caused the flames to extinguish and reignite over and over again.
"you..."
Sabo spat out a mouthful of blood, his right hand tightly gripping the steel pipe, his blood vessels bulging, his voice hoarse: "...Not Marine...You are the executioner..."
He used all his strength to ignite the fire of the Mera-mera Fruit, transformed the steel pipe into a fire dragon spear, and forcefully penetrated Rogge's front!
but--
Rogge didn't even raise his eyelids. "As the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army, he actually attacked the Marine for the Pirates."
He just slowly raised his right hand again and pointed a finger at Sabo's forehead.
There was no sound in the center of the arena.
Sabo's body exploded from the center, and flames, flesh and blood, armament color, and fire elements were directly deconstructed under the pressure of high-density air and instantaneous vacuum rebound!
His figure was like smoke and dust being swept up, collapsed under the air pressure, and fell to the ground with a loud bang.
The flames were completely extinguished.
——"Fire Fist Sabo", defeated.
"New!!!"
Luffy roared with his throat split open, but no sound came out!
He rushed towards the fallen Sabo, but was violently bounced away by circles of compressed air, breaking two pillars on his back and causing blood to spurt out!
Rogge withdrew his palm and stared quietly at the burning earth.
He spoke softly, his voice calm and cold:
"Pirates' fire..."
"Let's leave it at that."
The sky pressed down again, and the atmosphere trembled!
At this moment, the entire Dressrosa was completely shocked by the arrival of "Xuanlin Admiral Rogge".
No one dared to move again.
No one dared to yell again.
Only on the scorched earth and ruins, the cloak of justice slowly walked forward, stepping on the fire—
Every step is like a judgment.
