Chapter 182 Siege
Whitebeard, Shanks, and the others looked extremely grim.
They had thought that the two puppet generals who suddenly appeared were already formidable opponents, but they never expected that Minos would have three more people with the strength of generals. This was simply unbelievable.
Minos barely managed to suppress his excitement. He glanced disdainfully at Whitebeard and Shanks before slowly saying, "Now that things have come to this, you may die!"
Before Whitebeard and Shanks could respond, Minos loudly ordered, "Puppet One, follow me to attack Whitebeard. Shadow King, take General Wyvern, Beman, and Puppet Two to deal with Shanks, Mihawk, and Rayleigh."
"The remaining puppets number three, four, and five, along with other admirals and the Shadow Legion, are going all out to attack the Whitebeard Pirates."
At this point, Minos's gaze swept across the surroundings like lightning, and he coldly declared, "Let the whole world know that anyone who dares to provoke us will die!"
After saying this, Minos, wielding the demon sword, led Puppet Number One and charged towards Whitebeard like a tiger descending a mountain.
Cheng Xiaoyu watched Minos rush out, a slight smile playing on his lips. He then led General Flying Dragon, Beman, and Puppet No. 2, speeding towards the direction where Red-Haired Shanks was.
Meanwhile, Puppet Number Three, Number Four, Number Five, and the Shadow Legion also charged aggressively towards the Red-Haired Pirates.
That dense, dark mass resembled an unstoppable torrent of steel.
Whitebeard stared at Minos and Puppet Number One as they charged straight at him, his expression extremely grave.
However, he calmly spoke up, "Fellow members of the Whitebeard Pirates, the great battle has begun."
After saying that, Whitebeard brandished his sword, Murakumo, and resolutely charged toward Minos and the battlefield, like a moving steel fortress.
Cheng Xiaoyu and his group clashed with Shanks, Rayleigh, and Hawkeye, instantly turning the battle into a situation where the outnumbered were outmatched.
Meanwhile, the Shadow Army and Puppet Numbers 3, 4, and 5 also officially engaged in a thrilling battle with the Whitebeard Pirates.
On the battlefield, Minos, along with Puppet Number One, engaged in a fierce battle with Whitebeard.
Sword energy crisscrossed, darting about like venomous snakes. Whitebeard's Murakumogiri continuously unleashed sharp sword energy, clashing fiercely with the sword energy of Minos and Puppet Number One. Each clash seemed capable of tearing the air apart.
Despite Whitebeard's exceptional strength, he was still inevitably struck by the sword energy under this storm of attacks.
Minos gripped the demon sword tightly in his right hand, a cruel smile playing on his lips as he watched the snowflakes blooming on Whitebeard's chest. He slowly said, "Old man Whitebeard, you're about to get hurt!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of red light appeared in Minos's eyes, and the powerful Tyrant's colored lightning raged and surged around him like a dragon.
The red and black lightning, like a maddened beast, spread wildly in all directions.
At the same moment, red and black lightning also emerged from the blade of the demon sword.
Lightning danced merrily yet arrogantly across the blade, accompanied by a series of ear-piercing crackling sounds, as if flaunting its terrifying power.
Minos's lips curled up slightly, a smile both calm and arrogant, as he glanced at the solemn-faced white-bearded man.
He chuckled softly, his voice carrying a defiant provocation: "Old white-bearded fellow, taste this move of mine!"
Having said that, Minos shouted, "First move, Red Serpent!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his right hand, which was held horizontally in front of his chest and gripped the demon sword tightly, with an unstoppable momentum.
As the demonic blade sliced through the air, a blood-red sword aura shot out like an arrow, its speed as fast as a breathtaking bolt of lightning, heading straight for Whitebeard.
However, this was not the end. After tracing an arc in the air, the blood-red sword energy inexplicably twisted and changed shape.
In the blink of an eye, a majestic, enormous, blood-red serpent of sword energy materialized, its massive body filling Whitebeard's field of vision.
It was incredibly powerful, its entire body tightly enveloped in black and red lightning, which moved about like a menacing snake.
Accompanied by a deep rumble of thunder, like the furious thunder from the sky, it seemed to want to completely destroy all evil in the world.
Faced with the menacing, blood-red sword-qi serpent, Whitebeard's gaze instantly hardened like iron.
Previously, during the live broadcast of the Den Den Mushi, he had already sensed the immense power of Minos's "Red Serpent Style" during the clash between Minos and Shanks, and knew that only by using the Overlord technique could he contend with it.
Upon realizing this, the white-bearded man's eyes suddenly flashed.
In an instant, red and black lightning burst forth from his body like a surging tide, resembling restless dragons churning wildly around him.
The ground was struck hard by lightning, creating a huge, black crater. The crater walls were charred and cracked, emitting a pungent odor that sent chills down one's spine.
Black and red lightning rapidly spread outwards, filling the air with a suffocating sense of oppression wherever it passed.
At the same time, lightning also wrapped around the Murakumogiri in his hand. The already extremely sharp blade appeared even more gleaming under the light of the lightning, as if it could easily cut through all the illusions of the world.
The giant serpent of blood-red sword energy rapidly approached. Whitebeard's gaze sharpened, and all the power in his body was concentrated in his arms holding the sword.
He gripped the Murakumogiri tightly and swung it forcefully at the menacing, blood-red sword aura serpent approaching from the front, roaring in a deep voice, "Overlord Slash!"
In an instant, Murakumogiri, crackling with red and black lightning, collided with the giant serpent of blood-red sword energy in mid-air.
The moment of impact was like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting apart; the deafening roar was so loud it hurt people's eardrums.
This was a fierce clash between red and black lightning bolts generated by Conqueror's Haki. They intertwined, hissed, and collided, like two ferocious beasts locked in a life-or-death struggle, neither willing to easily yield to the other.
The immense force raged wildly at the point of impact, and the ground beneath their feet instantly cracked open with a deep fissure under the impact of this terrifying power.
The earth was torn apart, and countless stones flew out and scattered everywhere.
At the same time, the ground around the two was violently swept up by the shockwave, stirring up clouds of dust.
Huge chunks of rock were thrown into the air as if hurled by a giant's hand, crashing and thrashing about in the gale.
In a short while, flying sand and dust filled the space where the two were.
Everything around was plunged into chaos and rage, the dim sky and flying dust intertwined, like a terrifying scene of the apocalypse.
Minos looked at the white-bearded man, who was locked in a stalemate with his crimson sword aura serpent, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips. He said sarcastically, "Old man whitebeard, do you think you can stop me like this? You're too naive!"
"Now you can really feel what it's like to have a sword pierce your chest!"
