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

The enormous body, coupled with the ever-surging powerful magic, created immense psychological pressure.

It felt as if it would tear me apart at any moment.

However, Abel, who was more than a meter shorter than his opponent, did not lose in terms of momentum; on the contrary, he was able to suppress the opponent!

"Perhaps I should thank that cunning fox from earlier; only in this state do you have the right to stand before me. But I'm not used to looking up to people. Do you need me to break your legs?"

"No need for all that trouble. Once I've burned you to ashes, you'll be free from this problem."

"It seems your memory isn't very good; I need to help you recall it properly."

"Is that so? I thought the real battle had only just begun."

A somber and oppressive atmosphere instantly swept across the entire battlefield.

At this moment, Escanor's condition was such that even Abel's Conqueror's Haki could hardly suppress him.

He could even feel the scorching heat of the other person's breath.

"The time has come... Feel true despair."

"I am the only one in heaven and under heaven!"

Escanor unleashed all his power, and it was as if invisible flames were burning on his body.

Holy sword!

Even without the divine artifact, Escanor's strength remains terrifying.

That seemingly ordinary hand chop carries unparalleled power and magic.

At this point, Abel's best option would be to temporarily avoid the attack, as his opponent could not maintain such a ferocious stance for long.

But his pride prevented him from backing down, so he chose to confront him head-on.

Are you arrogant?

I'm even more arrogant than you!

Are you strong?

I'm stronger than you!

Dragon God Slash!

boom! !

The ice blade in Abel's hand clashed violently with Escanor's hand blade, like Mars colliding with Earth.

The scene was exactly the same last time, except that it was Escanor's artifact that broke in the end.

But this time the result was different.

At noon, Escanor was terrifyingly strong; he actually melted and severed the ice blade in Abel's hand, which was enhanced by Armament Haki, with his own flesh and blood.

With a crisp snap, Escanor's hand chopped down.

It made an incredibly teeth-grinding grinding sound!

It's important to know that the layer of ice crystal dragon scales on Abel's body is not just a simple, pretty decoration.

With a 5x increase in defense plus a 3x increase in defense in White Walker form, and the protection of Armament Haki, ordinary attacks can't even leave a mark on Abel.

However, Escanor forcefully ripped open his dragon scales, leaving a wound that was neither deep nor shallow.

But he was still not satisfied with such results!

Is this all he can do at his strongest?

Escanor immediately roared and poured all his magic into his left hand... index finger.

The target: the opponent's chest.

Holy Spear!

Under this attack, Abel personally felt the threat of death.

This was a move powerful enough to kill him!

But he still refused to back down an inch!

If you want to fight, then fight!

Dragon Fist!

The golden dragon roared and charged at Escanor, while a sharp white light flashed, instantly blasting Abel away.

boom!

The golden dragon exploded, creating a violent wind pressure.

The already partially disabled Ban, supported by two women, watched the outcome with extreme tension.

As the dust settled, the two figures came into view.

Then came the extreme shock!

Escanor's abdomen was pierced with a hole the size of a fist. Because the blood vessels were burned, no blood flowed out for a while.

Abel, on the other hand, also had a hole pierced through his left chest. Although the hole wasn't that big, it went straight through his heart and was a fatal wound!

what is this?

Will both sides suffer heavy losses or perish together?

Even at the very end, neither of those two guys backed down an inch; they're fucking insane!

"Is the knot... over?"

Jellica swallowed nervously and asked anxiously.

Ban shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

After all, logically speaking, one should not survive having their heart punctured, but there are always exceptions.

Just like the demon race in this world has 6 hearts, how so?

"There can only be one person who is supreme in heaven and earth. I have a feeling that after I completely defeat you, 'it' will be sublimated once again!"

The relaxed mood on Abel's face was gone, replaced by seriousness.

He wasn't talking nonsense; the feeling had grown stronger as the battle with Escanor had progressed.

Therefore, he needs to force out stronger opponents in order to make himself stronger!

As for the injury to his heart, that was the one thing he cared about the least.

His talent [Spirit of the Warrior] granted him immunity to the fatal effect and successfully put him into a critically injured state.

Therefore, he can unleash 300% of his fighting power at this moment!

It can be said that right now, he is at his strongest, with all his buffs stacked up!

Chapter 529 The raised hand gesture is proof of victory!

Suddenly, blazing orange-red flames enveloped Escanor's head, making him appear as if Ghost Rider had flesh and blood.

At that one minute past noon, Escanor chose to sacrifice his own life to gain even greater power than before!

"In heaven and on earth, I alone am supreme! As long as the sun shines, my arrogance will never cease!"

"My name is... Escanor!"

hum...

At this moment, the intense heat emanating from Escanor was like a real sun, scorching and igniting everything around him!

The earth was rapidly drying up and cracking, and all the trees spontaneously combusted with a loud bang.

The entire valley seemed to have been transformed into a fiery inferno.

The group of students hiding in the distance nearly died of dehydration under the scorching heat.

Even the air I breathed in felt scorching hot, as if it were burning my trachea and lungs.

But they were in a position with nowhere to escape, and they couldn't just throw themselves into the fire.

In the critical moment, Elaine had no choice but to exhaust her last bit of magic power, using divine wind to form a barrier and divert the heat elsewhere.

We're barely managing to buy some time this way.

Because it was obvious to everyone that Escanor's current state was not normal and could not be maintained for long.

However, in this state, Escanor can briefly possess power comparable to that of the Demon King!

However, his existing injuries prevented him from lasting even a minute.

The next strike will decide the outcome, and even determine life or death!

Abel also adjusted himself to his peak condition.

In fact, the simplest way for him to defeat Escanor is to directly use Dark Breathing - Eighth Form - Eternal Night!

Within the realm of eternal night, one can weaken the opponent's magic to a minimum.

That was the darkest place, completely cut off from the sun.

But Abel did not choose to do so.

People who possess the same supreme attribute of "I am the only one who reigns supreme in heaven and earth" in different worlds are extremely rare.

The last person he encountered with such a spirit was called Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses!

To deal with such an opponent, you must defeat them head-on in order to gain recognition and obtain the greatest benefits.

At least his intuition kept reminding him of that.

There's nothing else to say.

"Breath of Darkness - Seventh Form - Great Dark Heavenly Demon God!"

Abel chose his most destructive move so far.

A continuous stream of dark energy surged from his body, corresponding to Escanor, who symbolized the sun and light, yet their attributes were completely opposite.
