One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

The two women immediately followed his gaze and nervously looked over.

At this moment, an unexpected change indeed occurred on the field.

When one of the Ten Commandments was killed and the other was petrified, the battle should have ended there.

However, neither Abel nor Escanor, who wielded the divine weapon, seemed to have this intention.

The two walked toward each other in tacit understanding, and stopped at the same time when they were less than half a meter apart and about to touch.

“I have felt the sin of arrogance in you that is no less than mine. Confess to me and you will be forgiven.”

"Repentance? Forgiveness? Is it like this?"

Abel smiled gently.

In the next instant, the weather changed dramatically.

The Conqueror's Haki, mixed with a hint of dragon's might, erupted at full power, pressing down on Escanor like a heavy burden, causing his already over two-meter-tall body to bend, and his bones to make a teeth-grinding sound.

The aftershocks caused Jellica and her two companions, who had taken cover, to gasp for breath, as if they were about to faint.

In just one second, cold sweat soaked through my entire body.

The overwhelming pressure of being in absolute power makes it impossible to muster any resistance.

Only Ban was unusually resentful and angry.

I'm angry at myself for becoming a nobody who can only hide away and be a spectator.

Who would have thought that the mysterious young man hadn't even used his full strength in the previous battle!

On the field, Abel still wore that nonchalant smile.

"Well, do you now understand the sin of my arrogance?"

Escanor, whose body had been bent under the weight, suddenly straightened up little by little, resisting the unreasonable and domineering pressure.

"I must admit, your original sin is even greater than I imagined. But soon, you will see just how terrible the real sin of pride can be."

Abel squinted and looked up at the sky.

"Is it almost noon? If this is your source of confidence, I don't mind waiting for you a little longer."

Lu Xun once said that magic must be used to defeat magic.

You are as arrogant as I am a hundred times more arrogant than you!

It was probably a long time since anyone had dared to say such a thing to Escanor, so much so that even the arrogant Escanor fell silent for a moment, unsure of how to respond.

Then I might as well not answer.

Rita raised the Divine Axe high, then brought it down with a bang.

Abel suddenly had an ice blade in his hand, covered in Armament Haki, which he swung out without showing any weakness.

boom! ! !

On one side were flames that seemed to burn like the sun, and on the other side were frigid frost storms.

The two forces, clearly distinct, clashed and devoured each other.

The sun wants to melt this eternal ice, but the frost also wants to freeze and extinguish the sun's flames!

The outcome will depend on who is stronger!

The space at the center of the confrontation seemed to be distorted.

Subtly, a change first occurred in Abel.

Ice crystals condensed into dragon scales and instantly covered his body. A ferocious dragon head transformed into an ice helmet on his head, and a white dragon tail swung behind him.

Then, a pair of ice wings, imprinted with mysterious patterns and spanning two meters in length, unfolded from the storm.

This posture is the 'Dragon God Form' created by Abel based on the different form transformations of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users!

While maintaining human form, maximize the acquisition of the Ice Dragon King's power.

And it can also retain the amplification of the White Walker form!

However, this idea has only been half completed over the years, and it has been experiencing failures, as if it were impossible to realize at all.

It made him almost ready to give up.

But as one fully understands the meaning of returning life, many things that were originally impossible have taken a new turn and brought new hope.

Thus, the 'Dragon God Form' was born!

Even disregarding other enhancements, just looking at the 'Dragon God Form' alone, he gained a massive boost: 2.5 times the power of all ice-attribute attacks, 5 times his own defense, and 2.5 times his strength!

Although it only provides half the boost after transforming into the Ice Dragon King, don't forget that in this state, he doesn't have the restriction of 'not being able to be used in combination with other forms'.

If you add the triple boost to defense, speed, and strength in White Walker form, plus the five-fold additional power boost from the talent [Beast Power], then...

Even if it's midday in Escanor, so what!

Dragon God Slash!

When Abel unleashed his full power, the light and flames of the 'sun' were instantly suppressed and dimmed.

A terrifying ice storm actually froze the 'sun' and extinguished it?!

puff!

Hot blood spilled onto the earth.

Escanor's artifact was severed, and a deep, gruesome wound nearly cleaved him in two.

That body, covered in muscles as thick as refined steel, didn't seem to offer much in terms of defense.

Even more terrifying was that the icy aura erupting from the wound was spreading rapidly, quickly covering it with a layer of frost.

The extinguished 'sun' seemed powerless to stop itself from being frozen.

Ban, who was hiding in the ruined cave, immediately showed an expression of disbelief.

He couldn't believe it—that Escanor… that Escanor who was almost at noon… had actually lost?!

He had no idea who the mysterious man who defeated Escanor was, or whether he was friend or foe.

All he knew was that he couldn't hide here any longer.

Escanor needs him now!

"Elaine, I'm sorry, I..."

Elaine silenced him with her lips.

“Go on, if you don’t do something now, you’re not yourself, Ban.”

Ban laughed, then picked up his weapon and walked out of the cave.

"Escano, you saved us before, now it's my turn to save you."

Jelly was very worried, but she didn't stop him, because she knew that nothing could stop the man from doing this.

So all she could do was pray.

This time, they are facing an enemy even more terrifying than the Ten Commandments.

Chapter 527 Gift!

Ban, one of the Seven Deadly Sins of the Kingdom's Knights, is associated with the sin of greed.

He gained immortality by drinking from the Fountain of Life; his magic is to steal.

It is the ability to seize all of an opponent's possessions, whether physical or non-physical.

Previously, when facing Garan's pursuit, he had used this magic to steal one of Garan's hearts.

However, he consumed too much magic power later on, which led to him being overwhelmed and unable to fight back, so he had to escape.

Although his magic power has not fully recovered, he can still buy some time by virtue of his immortality.

He believed that Escanor would not be defeated so easily.

Since the flames of the 'sun' have gone out, we should find a way to make it burn again!

With this belief, Ban, wielding a nunchaku, charged toward Abel.

"If they had just stayed hidden like they did last night, they could have survived. Why did they have to come out and die?"

With his eyes closed, Abel grabbed a short stick that the other man had thrown at him with one hand and pulled hard.

Ban's body was uncontrollably pulled over.

Swish!

With a gentle swipe of the ice blade, Ban's eyes widened, and he spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sliced ​​in half at the waist!

However, the next moment, before the two severed pieces of the body could completely separate, they were pulled back together by the fleshy buds.

At the same time, he rolled forward, creating distance between himself and others.

Obviously, you can't truly understand something without actually fighting it.

This guy is even stronger than Garan of the Ten Commandments!

"Where do these freaks come from?"

Ban watched his opponent with extreme vigilance, not caring that his weapon had been taken away.

Almost every member of the Seven Deadly Sins wields a divine weapon, but his divine weapon, the Holy Staff Kreshitz, is not with him, which is one of the reasons why he cannot fully unleash his power.

"So he was relying on this 'immortality,' what a fool."

Abel had clearly recognized the person who came in; he had sensed someone hiding inside, but he didn't know who it was.

In a sense, the other party's magic is also terrifying.

Especially the kind of blatant and unreasonable plundering.

What you fear will come to pass.

Ban tried to take advantage of Abel's 'impaired vision' to find an opportunity, so he kept moving quickly around him.
