One Piece: Ascending the Divine Path

Chapter 75 When Steel Pierces Through (3.5K)

If one wants to train in internal destruction using Armament Haki, is there a more suitable opponent than King?

His strength is just right; even without using his projection ability, he would never be easily defeated by him.

Not to mention his defensive capabilities, he's perfect as a target. Without mastering the Armament Haki that can destroy internal structures, you absolutely cannot harm King in his defensive mode.

Therefore, if you want to win, you must go one step further!

We must make Armament Haki flourish!

It really got me all fired up!

"Thousand Shadows!"

Since I'm already given such a nickname, I might as well name my moves that too.

With a low shout from Knight, countless illusory clones once again hurtled towards Jhin, instantly darkening the sky.

"Do you think I'm a fool like Paris?"

Jin sneered.

Even if Observation Haki cannot distinguish it, in the end, what is false is still false.

He suddenly swung the long sword in his hand.

call!

The blazing flames suddenly spread out.

It was neither a fire dragon nor a fire pillar, but a continuously expanding spherical flame shield.

"Oh?"

Knight immediately raised an eyebrow.

She's quick-witted.

Illusions ultimately have no physical form; when they come into contact with flames, only the real object is affected.

Although Knight could also create illusions of flame waves, those flames were controlled by Jhin, so how could he not know which waves were fake?

Even so, Knight did not stop for a moment, and flew straight through the thin layer of flames.

Jin's gaze shifted instantly. "Found you!"

Whoosh!

The flames behind Ember's head went out instantly. He pierced through numerous illusions like lightning, his longsword, still wreathed in flames, slashing directly down at Knight.

"A serious punch!"

Without hesitation, Knight countered with a backhand punch.

laugh!

The longsword pierced through Knight's fist.

Jin's pupils suddenly contracted.

fake?

boom!

The jet-black fist slammed into Jhin's chest, and with a burst of domineering electric arcs, Jhin's tall body was sent flying like a cannonball.

"vomit"

Blood was seeping from the gaps in Jin's mask.

Ultimately, if you only briefly confirm your location, how can you guarantee that you haven't changed your location afterward?

The constantly appearing illusions obscured Jhin's vision, and all of them shared the same aura, so even if they switched places right in front of him, Jhin wouldn't be able to tell.

Unless you can continuously release flames to confirm your location, you still won't be able to touch yourself.

Knight leaped through the air in pursuit, "You'd better keep your flames burning the entire time you're in front of me! White Lightning!"

A lightning-fast vacuum slash pierced through the air.

"You brat!"

Ember flapped his wings to steady himself, letting the vacuum wave hit his chest. The vacuum wave exploded directly, causing no damage to Ember, because the flames behind his head had already reignited.

"A serious punch!"

A heavy punch from the right side slammed into Jhin's cheek, shattering his mask and revealing a slightly dark but handsome face.

But the instant he was sent flying, Jhin retaliated with a slash, filled with rage, "You bastard! What did you do!"

'

Knight could only raise his left leg and deliver a swift, airborne kick. His incredibly skilled Life Return technique allowed him to make even this kind of punch.

He would immediately follow up with another outrageous whip kick after pulling back.

when!

The air exploded, and the shockwave transformed into a hurricane that swept across the sky.

Knight felt a tremendous force strike him, and his body was sent flying backward.

The two retreated in opposite directions.

Jhin suddenly transformed into a jet-black pterosaur, its hard wings flapping wildly, unleashing massive crescent-shaped slashes that swept towards Knight's retreating direction like a storm.

He didn't know Knight's exact location, but that didn't stop him from using a wide-range attack to deal with Knight.

Knight stomped on the air and did a somersault, then charged forward again.

Facing the onslaught of slashing attacks, he merely sneered, "Paper drawing."

Knight's body became like Play-Doh, constantly twisting and deforming, easily dodging all the oncoming attacks.

Upon realizing that his series of attacks hadn't even touched the opponent, Jhin had no choice but to stop.

I don't know where he is anymore.

An endless stream of clones came rushing towards him, leaving Jhin completely dazzled and his ears filled with all sorts of chaotic noises.

Jin simply closed his eyes, only launching a defensive counterattack the moment he was attacked.

He wanted to see just how much stamina this brat had, and how long he could create phantom clones without limit.

Then, Knight punched Jhin hard in the back again without any resistance.

Jin's body was knocked forward, but his right leg had already swung back with the force of the blow.

Knight held Jhin's right leg down with one hand, but did not exert any force to resist.

He used his paper drawing technique again, his body as soft as cotton, lightly dodging Jin's kick, his fists poised to strike.

"A series of serious punches!"

A storm of fists pounded into Jhin's back with frenzied force.

With each punch, the surging domineering aura tried to seep into Jin's body.

First punch, failed.

The second punch failed.

The third punch... it was getting interesting.

The fourth punch failed.

The fifth punch, the sixth punch, the tenth punch, the fiftieth punch —

"You brat!"

Bear!

Blazing flames surged forth from the ashes, suddenly bursting forth as a brilliant sun in the sky.

A hole suddenly burst open on the surface of the sun, and Knight, radiating an aura of dominance, flew out from it.

"It's hot enough."

Knight shook his coat; a piece of the hem was burned off.

"Like flies, they know it's pointless but still insist on bothering me!"

Jhin's voice was filled with utter anger; it was clear that although he wasn't injured, he was thoroughly disgusted.

This is what is meant by "lowly harmful, but extremely insulting."

"You little brat from the navy! Are you just going to stand by and watch this country be destroyed?"

The enormous sun suddenly crashed down, "Emperor of Flames!"

Below, the people who were nervously observing the battle from their homes were completely stunned.

They weren't bloodthirsty spectators; they wouldn't feel it was worth dying for to witness such a battle of the strong.

"Someone, please save us!"

People were just screaming in despair.

Just then, under everyone's watchful eyes, a figure shot out and directly blocked the enormous fireball.

"Just the sun!"

Knight clenched his right fist.

Watch me push it back with my domineering power!

"A serious punch!"

The air suddenly trembled violently, and a violent, domineering torrent surged upwards, crashing into the falling sun like a tsunami.

The enormous fireball instantly began to shake violently, then exploded, only to be swept up by the overwhelming torrent of energy and merged into a brilliant pillar of fire that engulfed the embers.

"Brigadier General Knight! That's amazing!"

Below, the Major General couldn't help but cheer.

Not only did he easily defeat Paris, but he was also able to fight Jhin, the Wildfire, to this extent! Not only did he not fall behind at all, but he also made Jhin look extremely disheveled!

He wasn't the only one cheering.

Amidst the ruins, in residential areas, in the villas of wealthy merchants, in the estates of nobles, and even in the royal palace, cheers gradually rose in unison.

Countless people are asking this.

"Who is he! Who is the person who saved us?!"

Many more people enthusiastically replied, "He's Commodore Knight of the Navy! He's the Navy's rising star!"

But everyone cheered too soon.

The battle is far from over!

"Kid, let's see how much more you can hold off!"

Jin roared, raising his blade high, flames gathering behind him and forming a giant ring that began to spin wildly.

"Fire Dragon Emperor!!"

A mighty fire dragon has emerged from the giant ring.

Instantly, the crowd below, who had been cheering, fell silent.

Everyone held their breath.

Knight was instantly launched into the air.

"It's too late!"

Jin laughed loudly.

Is it too late?

One side of Knight's mouth.

"Hey, Jhin, you idiot, haven't you finished yet?"

Quinn's voice?

Jin subconsciously turned his head.

What I saw was indeed an empty sky.

cheated!

It was that bastard who created the illusion!

Anger brewed once again in Ember's heart.

But it's not too late now.

An endless stream of phantoms swarmed in.

Knight once again used the illusionary clone as cover to fly over, and his jet-black right fist slammed out heavily.

This is the second to last chance.

If the final blow fails to damage Ember, his flames will inevitably engulf the entire Kingdom of August.

In that case, Navy Knight wouldn't be able to be a hero!

How can such a thing be allowed!

How can I allow my plans to be disrupted!

So, you domineering one, I command you, infiltrate!

The pitch-black iron fist slammed heavily into Jin's chest.

boom!

The air exploded in huge ripples, and Jhin was blasted away again like a cannonball.

"oh!!"

Cheers suddenly erupted from the ground below.

But before their cheers could subside, the embers in the sky flapped their wings again to steady themselves.

"It's no use!"

He roared, and the massive ring of flames behind him reformed, "This time, let's see how you block this! Guardian Fire Dragon Emperor!"

An even larger fire dragon roared as it swooped down.

below.

"Brigadier General Knight!"

Lieutenant General Johnny clenched his fist.

If Knight can't withstand it, then who knows how many people will die in this attack.

"Is it useless?"

Knight clenched his right fist, and the corners of his mouth gradually turned up.

I don't think so.

boom!

The air exploded with a huge shockwave, sending Knight straight upwards.

He pulled his right fist back, and a jet of black electricity crackled around him.

All his domineering aura flowed towards his right fist.

Since Jhin has used his ultimate move, I certainly can't fall behind.

For some reason, at this moment, Jin suddenly felt a faint pain in the spot in his chest where he had just been hit.

However, he quickly put that feeling out of his mind.

As long as the flames behind his head don't go out, how could a brat of this level possibly hurt him! It must be an illusion!

The fiery dragon plummeted straight down.

Knight went head-on.

That is, at this moment.

"Go for it, Brigadier General Knight!"

"Go, Navy big brother!"

"Brigadier General Knight, you have to win!"

Cheers erupted from below.

You guys added the wrong thing, it should be Jhin who gets the boost.

Knight smirked and threw a punch at the menacing fire dragon.

Ultimately, it's just a flame without the added power of Haki. Don't they know that pure Logia-types have long been out of the meta?

boom!

The domineering aura wrapped around his fist was not released.

But the force of just a punch pierced through the fire dragon!

Knight was like a carp swimming headfirst through a waterfall, tearing through the fire dragon as he went. Wherever he passed, the fire dragon collapsed, and scorching flames exploded.

But it's so hot! All that domineering energy is concentrated in my fist, leaving my body unprotected.

Using a projector to protect yourself a little shouldn't be too much to ask, right? Anyway, no one can see it.

In the next instant, Knight had pierced the entire fire dragon, and below him, the fire dragon exploded into a huge vortex of fire.

Countless phantom clones reappeared.

"What?!"

Jin's pupils trembled violently.

Was his strongest move just defeated like that?

"Are you kidding me!"

Since flames won't work, let's use domineering energy!

The jet-black sword blade, wreathed in flames, slashed down directly.

Then, it missed.

The phantoms in the sky suddenly vanished, and Knight's fist slammed into Jhin's chest once more.

Jin had initially intended to sneer, to mock this young navy brat whose attacks were still ineffective.

But then, his eyes widened suddenly, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.

Something, something seeped into my body through my chest.

He looked at Knight in disbelief.

Impossible! How could such a thing happen!

What makes this brat so special?!

Jin only hoped that everything he was experiencing was an illusion.

but.

"Wow!"

Blood spurted from his mouth, and Jhin shot into the sky like a rocket, with a sonic boom cloud even swirling around his body.

Hunet let out a slow sigh of relief.

It was worth the hard work of the past week or so. Also, I would like to thank Coach Jin for his sparring.
