However, considering that with Admiral Kuzan casually striking the island of Greenbit, the icy frost spread rapidly at a visible speed, and even the usually pleasant climate of Dressrosa Island gradually turned cold, Yang Ming was more inclined to believe that the other party had already awakened his Devil Fruit.
The awakening of a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit allows the user to transform surrounding matter into terrain suitable for their own use.
Perhaps one of the key characteristics of the awakening of Logia-type Devil Fruits is that they permanently alter the climate and environment of a region.
Just as the frost was about to spread to his feet, a sea of dark shadows, not to be outdone, began to expand from beneath Yang Ming.
Having absorbed the "sticky" property of the Sticky Fruit and the "stone" property of the Stone Fruit, Yang Ming's Shadow Alchemy is no longer the same as before, possessing the strange properties of both stickiness and hardness.
In the common understanding, how could a substance with both viscous and hard properties exist at the same time?
In fact, it does exist.
That is a mixture of starches.
At this moment, the sea of shadow beneath Yang Ming's feet was like a starch mixture. It had the fluidity of a liquid, making one feel as if they were in a bottomless swamp once they stepped into it, and it also had a strong ability to withstand the weight of objects, easily supporting several tons, tens of tons, or even hundreds of tons of material. Even bullets and artillery could not penetrate the walls formed by the shadows.
To put it simply, the Sea of Shadows is currently like a composite of the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Mochi-Mochi Fruit.
The cold white frost, the dark shadows that are neither hot nor cold.
The collision of two completely different substances did not produce the thrilling spectacle that outsiders might imagine; instead, it was a contest fraught with hidden danger, with each substance eroding the other, and for a short time, they were evenly matched.
Dozens of shadowy creatures resembling octopus tentacles suddenly emerged from the Sea of Shadows. The shadowy tentacles were covered with interlocking canines, eyeballs, and sharp teeth, lashing out in all directions erratically. Naturally, they could not have much impact on the three admirals of the Marine Headquarters. They were merely used to obstruct the ten vice admirals of the Marine Headquarters who came to provide support.
Lieutenant General Doberman's weathered, scarred face revealed a hint of murderous intent as he gripped a sharp katana in both hands and coldly shouted:
"One-Sword Style! Kodachi!"
The blade, covered in Armament Haki, traced an arc in mid-air, adding to its power, and slashed heavily at an oncoming shadowy tentacle.
The moment the blade pierced the shadowy tendrils, Lieutenant General Doberman's expression changed slightly.
At that moment, he felt as if his knife was not cutting into an empty, intangible shadow, but rather as if it were cleaving a tough steel plate. He heard a grinding sound from the blade and felt a slow, sluggish resistance.
The two halves of the shadow tentacles flew through the air. Before Lieutenant General Doberman could sheath his sword, new parts suddenly grew rapidly from the severed ends of the shadow tentacles, turning one into two. Two shadow tentacles of the same size caught him off guard and surrounded him from the left and right sides, tightly wrapping around Lieutenant General Doberman's arms.
What terrified Lieutenant General Doberman even more was not this, but the fact that he suddenly lost control of his body and was moving along with Yang Ming's movements.
Lieutenant General Doberman did not notice that, hidden beneath his sleeve, a new tattoo symbol from the Shadowcraft had appeared on his arm.
Chapter 101 I am the man who walks the path of Heaven and commands all!
Hundreds of shadow tentacles lashed wildly, creating a series of explosions in mid-air.
Ten vice admirals from the Navy Headquarters, led by Vice Admiral Doberman, were immediately plunged into a difficult battle.
Once these shadow tentacles are severed, new shadow tentacles will sprout. Although they are not particularly lethal, when combined with the Shadow Binding Technique, they can easily control the enemy the moment they come into contact with them. It takes a lot of effort to break free.
This delay meant that the ten vice admirals from the Navy Headquarters were unable to provide support to the three admirals in the short term.
Admiral Sakazuki glanced at the others out of the corner of his eye, his resolute face filled with a cold stern expression. He casually tossed his navy cloak, emblazoned with the word "Justice," to the ground, and clenched his black leather gloves together, cracking his stiff fingers as he spoke in a deep voice:
"It's time for you guys to show some real skills."
"If this drags on, things might change."
As he spoke, Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu began to elementalize, transforming from head to toe into a pool of scorching magma. The magma flowed down, and the moment it touched the Navy cloak on the ground, the temperature of over a thousand degrees Celsius instantly melted it, emitting thick white smoke.
The lava spread outwards, continuously expanding in all directions.
Upon contact with the Sea of Shadows, the magma became quite aggressive, constantly encroaching on the land covered by the Sea of Shadows and shrinking its area.
Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu had long recognized the strangeness of this Sea of Shadows; if it were allowed to spread, it would cause them considerable trouble.
The more the enemy desires something, the more resolutely we must oppose it.
Rather than letting Yang Ming's intentions succeed, it's better to nip his subsequent schemes in the bud.
Decisive and ruthless.
Although this was Yang Ming's first time facing Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu, Sakazuki's style still left a deep impression on him.
Moreover, as the magma spread, it even permanently altered the terrain and climate.
On Admiral Sakazuki's side, the air became unusually hot. The hills covered with shrubs and grass formed small, barren volcanoes. Magma from deep within the earth was drawn out by an unknown force and erupted from the hilltops. A strong sulfurous smell gradually filled the air.
"When Akainu gets serious, he's really scary."
Admiral Borsalino's tone was as flippant as ever, but his body obediently followed the other's advice, clasping his hands together in front of his chest, where countless spots of light gathered, transforming into a bright mirror.
"Yata mirror!"
The next instant, thousands of thin beams of light shot out from the Yata no Kagami.
These beams of light were not aimed directly at Yang Ming, but rather shot out randomly in all directions. They were not aggressive at all, and even if they touched a human body, they would not cause any harm. Instead, they would be refracted and continue to bounce out at different angles.
Forests, earth, magma, human bodies, and even white clouds all become the footholds and refraction points for these beams of light.
The beam of light travels at the speed of light, and no one can stop it.
In an instant, what came into view was an ocean of light.
The speed of light reaches nearly 30 kilometers per second. The human body cannot control such a speed. At the speed of light, time slows down infinitely, giving people the feeling of time stopping, causing consciousness to stagnate.
It is precisely for this reason that Admiral Borsalino has never been able to fully control the Glint-Glint Fruit.
Although the human body has its limits, the human imagination is boundless.
After decades of developing the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit, Admiral Borsalino has long understood the characteristics of the Glint-Glint Fruit and developed the Yata Mirror ability, which perfectly avoids the shortcomings of humans.
It's too late, but it's soon.
Admiral Borsalino vanished from his spot, and at the same time, a beam of light moved with astonishing speed, closing in on Yang Ming in the blink of an eye. This beam of light immediately transformed into the figure of Admiral Borsalino, and a whip kick wrapped in Armament Haki swept across. Driven by the speed of light, it was not just a simple sound explosion, but also contained a terrifying power that was enough to kick a mountain apart.
When the force is constant at a certain level, the faster the speed, the greater the destructive power.
To give an analogy, the destructive power produced by a truck hitting a person when it has just started moving is completely different from that produced by a truck hitting a person when it has stepped on the gas.
What is a Navy Admiral?
That's it!
With his palm facing outward, Yang Ming only had time to use Shinra Tensei to momentarily hinder his opponent with its powerful repulsive force. Admiral Borsalino's whip kick continued its momentum and struck Yang Ming's raised left arm as he tried to block.
"Crack!"
The sound of bones cracking could be clearly heard coming from Yang Ming's left arm, which was covered in Armament Haki. A powerful force surged into Yang Ming's body like a volcanic eruption, kicking him directly off the top of the meteorite.
His left arm hung limply down like overcooked noodles. If it weren't for the triple protection of Armament Haki, dragon scales, and dragon roar, Yang Ming's condition would probably have been more than just a comminuted fracture of his left arm.
While suspended in mid-air, Yang Ming placed his right palm on his fractured left arm, a warm light emanating from his palm.
"One of the Eight Extraordinary Skills! Dual-Handed Techniques!"
The Dual-Handed Technique possesses healing abilities, but under normal circumstances, Yang Ming has no need to use it, so he has left this ability aside for a long time.
However, with a large area of bones in his left arm now fractured, if not treated promptly, he may face unforeseen disaster.
As for the injuries to the internal organs, under the rule of the dragon bloodline, the gourmet cells and superhuman cells have done their best to repair them at the cellular level.
"Where are you looking?"
Suddenly, Admiral Borsalino's slightly flippant voice came from behind him, and Yang Ming's expression changed slightly beneath the Abyss Mask.
"So fast!"
Before the opponent could attack from behind, Yang Ming immediately used Flash to dodge a powerful whip kick at close range.
Admiral Borsalino missed his target and plummeted straight to the ground, stirring up waves of shadows, frost, and magma in the surrounding area. With a violent tremor, cracks spread across a radius of 100 meters around Borsalino's landing point.
A slender figure stood on the ice. Admiral Kuzan of Aokiji wore a dark blue shirt under a white suit vest and a navy cloak. Beneath the green eye patch on his forehead, his usually sleepy eyes became unusually serious, and an endless chill emanated from him, turning the area around him into a frozen wasteland.
"Extreme Cold Hell!"
This terrifying technique, named after the fifth level of the deep-sea prison, was accompanied by Admiral Kuzan slamming his hands on the ground. Suddenly, endless spears emerged from the ever-expanding ice surface, shooting out like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, filling the air with an astonishing chill.
Sakazuki, the Admiral of Akainu, and Kuzan, the Admiral of Aokiji, have always been at odds. Naturally, Sakazuki was not going to be outdone. Suddenly, three enormous dog heads rose from the endless magma, with dog bones, dog features, and canine teeth, all lifelike.
"Scorching Hell!"
The three magma hounds, each the size of a meteorite, opened their three gaping maws and swooped down from the sky, intent on annihilating their enemies.
The top is hot, and the bottom is cold.
A combined attack from two admirals of the Navy Headquarters would be enough to destroy a small island.
Faced with the most dire situation since his transmigration, Yang Ming suddenly closed his eyes, his Rinnegan reverted to the Mangekyou Sharingan form, his spirit and energy reached their peak, a faint soul fire surrounded him, and a chilling white skeletal giant suddenly materialized.
"Susanoh!"
With Yang Ming's current mental strength, he is not yet able to fully reveal the complete form of Susanoo, but the mere sight of this skeletal giant, which is over ten meters tall, is enough to leave the world speechless.
An endless shadow covered Susanoo from bottom to top, condensing into a completely black shadow armor. The armor was covered with eyeballs and sharp teeth, and a pair of shadow wings rose from behind. The head was shrouded in a black mist, like a dark angel fallen to earth.
The Shadow Armor possesses both "sticky" and "stone" properties. Facing tens of thousands of icy spears below, Yang Ming simply ordered Susanoo to withstand them.
"Chichichi..."
The frost spear, over two meters long, was stuck upside down in the shadow armor. It could pierce through the castle instantly, but it could not penetrate the shadow armor. The spearhead and half of the spear shaft pierced into the shadow armor, but encountered unimaginable resistance and delay, and could not go any further.
Susanoo held a giant shadow sword in its hand, and a pair of dark blue eyes gleamed in the black mist. Under the scrutiny of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, although the three-headed magma hound was finely crafted and ingeniously constructed, and could withstand a powerful blow from a strong opponent without being easily defeated, the dead points formed by the intersection of many death lines had been exposed.
Having observed all of this through his Blood Demon Art eye clone, Yang Ming immediately activated Susanoo to make the most advantageous choice at that moment.
The shadowy greatsword slashed down along the mysterious death line, ignoring the scorching heat of the gushing magma, and pierced straight into the joint between the heads of the three magma hounds, which was the weakest point in the magma's structure.
The sword fell, and lava rained down.
The seemingly imposing three-headed magma dog form completely collapsed, transforming into a torrential downpour. The scalding magma poured down on Susanoo, making a constant hissing sound.
Susanoo swung it forcefully, and the magma remaining on the shadow greatsword spilled out.
Amidst the complex gazes of onlookers, Yang Ming's calm voice resonated within Susanoo:
"Navy, you've got this in mind."
"I am the man who walks the path of Heaven and is in charge of all things!"
Chapter 102 Yang Ming's true identity has been discovered?
A towering, jet-black figure hovered in the sky. Its battle armor, formed from shadows, was covered with jagged barbs, now pierced by hundreds of icy spears, adding to its terrifying aura. A pair of jet-black wings sprouted from its back, stretching over twenty meters in length. With each flap of its wings, jet-black feathers drifted down, transforming back into shadows and merging back into the earth.
Like a dark angel fallen to earth, he lowered his head slightly, his eyes flashing with a ghostly blue light. With a single sword strike, he deflected the attack of Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu, instantly stunning the entire audience.
