Chapter 457 The phoenix takes the first step
The sky-wide pale spiritual pressure covered the entire Toriyama Island.
Countless creatures with weak mental and willpower completely lost their self-awareness under this terrifying pressure that was like the heavens and the earth turning upside down. They fell unconscious like waves of wheat blown by the wind.
Toriyama Island, which was originally bustling with excitement due to the sword test competition to determine the final winner, suddenly fell into complete silence, and almost no loud cheers could be heard anymore.
In the Tailless Monkey Tavern.
The sound of falling to the ground was endless.
The drinkers and swordsmen who were holding wine glasses to celebrate the end of the sword test meeting turned their eyes white one after another and fainted to the ground under the mental impact of the powerful spiritual pressure.
Wine glasses and liquor were spilled everywhere, and the tavern suddenly became a mess.
In such a turbulent environment.
The red-haired pirates seemed so out of place while everyone was still awake.
"Ahhh!"
Feeling the mighty spiritual pressure coming from the top of his head, the red-nosed clown let out a miserable cry, and his body and head were immediately separated.
Literal separation of body and head.
Bucky put his hands on his head and wailed in panic, "What a terrifying domineering domineering force! We will definitely die!"
Beckman looked at the broadcast screen in the tavern, which was plunged into darkness. Under the impact of spiritual pressure, the weak-conscious Image Telephone Bug couldn't hold on at all, and also passed out. His expression was extremely solemn.
"This aura...this power that looks like a domineering king...is absolutely unmistakable! It's that person!"
Shanks' expression also looked very heavy. The originally delicious rum he was holding in his hand was as bland and tasteless as white water when he drank it in his mouth.
"Yes, this power is Adrian - perhaps we should call him the White Ghost - the spiritual pressure!"
Look up at the sky.
Shanks' sight seemed to penetrate the layers of the tavern ceiling, until he saw the white ghost figure on the sky, flying across the sky like a shooting star during the day.
"If I had known he was coming, I wouldn't have come..."
Shanks murmured softly.
Bucky's head floating in the air fluttered in front of Shanks and shouted loudly.
"Shanks! It's too dangerous here! Let's run away!"
"Run? Where can you run? The distance is so close, and Adrian can fly!"
Shanks couldn't help but roll his eyes.
He picked up the wine glass in his hand, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a fierce expression.
"Now! It's time to show him the power of our red-haired pirates!"
Shanks shouted.
"Beckman! Which direction is the White Ghost now?"
A ray of red light flashed in the eyes of the vice-captain, and his strong sense of knowledge and domineering was activated, sensing the situation in the sky.
"Report to the captain, the White Ghost is currently flying towards the harbor!"
"Adrian! Are you planning to sink the Redfors first and confine us all to Toriyama Island?"
Shanks' expression suddenly changed.
"So cunning! So insidious!"
Beckman's voice was firmly locked on the core of the vast spiritual pressure, and his voice was extremely calm.
"No, to be precise, White Ghost's target should be... Moby-Dick!"
Um? !
Shanks looked stunned.
Bucky shouted the response on his behalf.
"Huh? Beckman, are you saying that the monster in the sky went to find that strange old man with white beard?"
A twisted smile suddenly appeared on Bucky's clown face, and he couldn't help laughing.
"Isn't that looking for death? Hahaha!"
Beckman glanced at Bucky rather calmly.
"Judging from the previous intelligence, I think that even if White Ghost is not Whitebeard's opponent, it is definitely at the same level."
"I don't believe it, it's impossible, it's fake."
Bucky responded three times in an instant.
Shanks held Bucky's shoulders and gave the captain's order.
"No matter what, let's go over and have a look!"
Touching the straw hat on his head, Shanks' expression was extremely serious.
"If White Ghost really fights Whitebeard... we must not miss such a battle scene between the top warriors in the sea!"
Bucky screamed again, "That's too dangerous!!"
In this noise.
Hawkeye Mihawk, who had recovered slightly, also rushed back to the tavern from the summit of Lone Peak.
"If you want to watch the game, take me with you."
Mihawk stroked the huge handle of Bai Dao Ye, recalling the words "The strongest in the world" that White Ghost said before leaving, with a determined look on his face.
……
No matter what the people below think.
Adrian continued flying in the direction of the Moby Dick.
After several years, I finally encountered the Whitebeard Pirates again, and I couldn’t let them go so easily!
Didn't you see, the top expertise and ability from the world's strongest man is beckoning to him!
Under the terrifying speed of the ghost body, in just a few moments, Adrian had already seen the Moby Dick anchored in the blue harbor of Toriyama Island.
He has no intention of restraining his momentum.
Adrian continued to maintain the posture of full spiritual pressure, but slowed down slightly, flying in the direction of the Moby Dick.
At this moment, the crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates on the Moby Dick also felt the terrifying spiritual pressure so close at hand.
The weaker crew members also rolled their eyes and fell to the ground unconscious under this terrifying pressure.
Most of the elite crew members who had followed Whitebeard in the early years remained conscious, but many of them were still sweating coldly.
tread!
Adrian slowly fell from the sky and stepped on the deck of the Moby Dick.
"Excuse me, everyone of the Whitebeard Pirates."
As the words fell, the immense spiritual pressure expanded again, washing away the minds and wills of many crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Pat, pat...
The pirates who were barely holding on were completely unconscious under the sudden surge of spiritual pressure, and fell unconscious one by one on the street.
Phoenix Marco, Diamond Jozi, Foil Bista and others looked at the white ghost that landed on the deck with cold expressions, without saying a word, but they were all ready to meet the enemy.
Even Edward Weibull, who had some mental problems, maintained a united front with the other "brothers" and looked at the white ghost with the same hatred.
Adrian looked around, his eyes lingering on Edward Weeble for a moment, and then he let out a chuckle.
"There are a little more people still standing than expected."
"The guy showing off his momentum!"
The white-bearded man sitting on the large seat in the center of the deck narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his chin, and laughed.
"Gu la la la, ghost kid, long time no see!"
"It has indeed been several years since we last met."
Adrian answered calmly.
"Old ghost with white beard."
As soon as this response was finished, it immediately caused a commotion among the many "sons" of the Whitebeard Pirates.
To be precise, it's not a riot, it's [hostility]!
Foil Bista pulled out his double swords, half of Diamond Jozi's body turned into a shining form, and Sachi took out a giant iron fork.
The remaining crew members who were still conscious also drew out their weapons, whether they were long knives, muskets, or sharp claws.
However, the one who showed the most excitement was still Phoenix Marco!
"Bold! White Ghost! How dare you talk to dad like this!"
Accompanied by a sharp cry.
Marco's whole body ignited with raging blue flames, his arms turned into phoenix wings, his feet turned into slender phoenix claws, and he instantly entered the most powerful human-animal form for those with animal fruit abilities.
"Get off the Moby-Dick! Come back after you learn some manners!"
The next moment.
Marco flapped his wings and flew into the air. A pair of bird claws flashed with sharp cold light, and with a hissing sound in the air, he swooped towards Adrian in the center of the deck.
"Phoenix Seal!"
‘The Phoenix Fruit seems to be a good fusion target...’
Such an idea quickly flashed through Adrian's mind.
He unhurriedly raised the demon sword Kitetsu in his hand, covering it with armed domineering energy containing multiple characteristics.
Black jade, flowing cherry blossoms, solid iron, collapsing mountains!
The armed color of the fourth level of characteristics clung to the Demon Sword and Ghost Tetsu, rendering it into a rich color. Then Adrian raised his right arm and slammed it——
Swing the knife!
The speed of Demon Sword Ghost Tetsu seemed to break through the limitations of time and space, swinging out a lightning-like trajectory in mid-air, so fast that no one could react.
It was obviously a late counterattack, but Demon Sword Kitetsu arrived in front of Marco first.
The demon blade's blade was extremely flexible and broke through the pair of sharp bird claws with menacing momentum, and struck the phoenix's chest hard!
‘Nani? ! ! ’
Marco's pupils instantly shrank to their limit.
The next moment.
A powerful force came from Demon Sword Ghost Che.
Marco felt his vision suddenly blur, and his figure quickly retreated uncontrollably, accompanied by a terrifying pain in his chest and abdomen. It was a powerful attack that almost split his whole body in half.
Everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates only saw the Phoenix rushing forward first, then retreating back at a faster speed, flying straight to Dad's position.
On the large seat on the deck, Whitebeard stretched out his right hand and gently blocked Marco who flew in front of him.
The World's Strongest Man lowered his head and looked to his right hand.
The blue flames symbolizing the phoenix suddenly rose up, almost turning Marco into a human-shaped torch, making it impossible for anyone to see through the actual situation inside.
Minutes passed.
After the Qingyan dissipated, there was only a dying phoenix left in Whitebeard's huge palm.
"Marco..."
Whitebeard sighed.
As a user of the animal type, phantom species, and phoenix fruit ability, Marco definitely deserves the rating of "extremely tricky."
Even in the eyes of many top masters of the sea, Phoenix deserves such evaluation.
From a certain perspective, the Phoenix Fruit can definitely be called a 50-50 fruit.
Although Marco has an actual body, after being attacked, the wound will be wrapped by his own "regeneration flame" and then quickly regenerate.
In this way, it can indirectly invalidate other people's attacks.
That is to say.
If the opponent is weaker than himself, Marco can directly beat the opponent violently.
And if the opponent is stronger than himself, Marco can also rely on the phoenix fruit that continues to recover to force a tie.
Of course, the regenerative inflammation of the Phoenix Fruit also has an upper limit on its ability to recover.
When the accumulated injuries exceed a certain level, the esper will still die even in the fruit form.
"Old, daddy..."
Marco's lips moved slightly, and his voice was as soft as a piece of paper.
The large amount of regenerative inflammation that had just arisen to heal the injury had almost consumed all of his physical strength.
Even if he can recover quickly later, he has almost no ability to resist now.
In other words.
Even the Phoenix Fruit can be indirectly immune to most damage and continuously restore its own state.
The knife struck by White Ghost just now directly broke the upper limit of endurance!
Adrian gently waved the demon sword Kitetsu in his hand, with a calm expression and a melodious tone.
"It seems that the phoenix will never die as the legend says~"
