Chapter 281 One Against Three
Compared to the others, Vista's mood at this moment was completely different. Facing the fierce slash head-on, his expression instantly became extremely solemn, as if the whole world had frozen at this moment.
Without hesitation, he reacted swiftly, gripping his twin swords tightly in both hands, crossing them in front of him to form a solid defensive line. His legs were slightly bent, and his upper body leaned forward slightly, assuming a standard defensive posture, like an impregnable fortress.
However, this wasn't because he didn't want to dodge the attack, but because Aini's attack speed was simply too fast, too fast for him to dodge in time. In that split second, he had no choice but to take the hit head-on.
Just as he completed his defensive maneuver, Aini's slash came down like lightning, striking his twin blades hard.
In an instant, a tremendous impact swept over him like a tidal wave. Vista felt as if his body had been hit by a high-speed train, and he could hardly withstand the powerful force.
However, at this point, he had no way out.
He gritted his teeth, and all his strength burst forth in an instant. His muscles bulged as if inflated, stretching his clothes to their limit, as if they would burst at any moment.
At the same time, his feet sank deep into the ice, leaving a deep crater in the hard surface. His body leaned forward at a thirty-degree angle, using all his strength to block Aini's terrifying attack.
"Crack..." With a crisp cracking sound, the ice beneath his feet seemed to be under a spell, constantly shattering. Each shard of ice flew everywhere like an exploding bomb.
He was propelled backward by a powerful force.
The force was so immense that he couldn't control his body at all and could only watch helplessly as he moved further and further away from his original position.
Finally, after retreating more than fifty meters, he managed to regain his balance.
However, this is not the end of the story.
At this moment, he had unleashed more than 100% of his strength. His body trembled slightly from the excessive exertion, and his muscles bulged again due to extreme tension.
"Sla..."
A tearing sound rang out, and his clothes were ripped apart by the powerful force! But he didn't care about that at all. He gritted his teeth, used all his strength, and pulled himself up sharply.
In an instant, a dazzling light flashed, and Enni's slash was forcefully knocked into the air. This scene, just like when "Diamond" Jozu blocked Hawkeye's slash, was incredibly shocking.
Whitebeard stood not far away, observing everything from a distance. His originally calm face couldn't help but furrow slightly upon seeing the scene before him, revealing a hint of surprise.
Whitebeard knew his sons' strength all too well. However, this opponent named Enni had displayed strength far beyond his expectations. This forced Whitebeard to re-evaluate this young man.
Whitebeard muttered to himself, "It seems this kid's fight with Kaido... wasn't entirely based on luck. He truly possesses that kind of strength! Kaido, you weren't lying to me."
Upon realizing this, Whitebeard's pupils contracted sharply. He understood that this Enni was definitely not an opponent to be underestimated.
Immediately afterward, Whitebeard swiftly turned his head and looked at "Diamond" Jozu not far away. Their gazes met in the air, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding in an instant.
"Diamond" Joz understood immediately and replied, "Don't worry, Dad!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly exerted force with his legs, and his whole body shot out like a cannonball.
"Diamond" Jozu leaped through the air a few times, arriving above Aini's head with lightning speed. Then, his body instantly transformed into an incredibly hard diamond, gleaming with dazzling light.
Then, without hesitation, "Diamond" Joz threw a punch, a punch as powerful as thunder, carrying boundless force, directly striking Ani below.
"Uh?"
Enni's Observation Haki instantly detected his presence, and she quickly looked up, her gaze meeting that of "Diamond" Jozu. Jozu was shimmering with dazzling light, like a brilliant diamond, radiating a chilling aura of oppression.
Seeing this, Enni raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly unsurprised by Jozu's appearance. He smiled faintly, then casually turned his gaze to Whitebeard in the distance, muttering softly, "Looks like Whitebeard really thinks highly of me! He even sent two of his strongest trio to deal with me."
Before he finished speaking, Aini swung his left hand without hesitation, clenching his fist tightly and slamming it upwards like a cannonball. This punch was like a thunderbolt, carrying boundless power and might, as if it would tear the entire space apart.
At the same time, "Diamond" Joz was not to be outdone. His fist plummeted like a meteor and collided violently with Ani's fist in mid-air.
"collapse!"
A deafening roar was heard, and in an instant, the whole world fell silent.
Their fists collided violently in mid-air, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that swept outwards. Wherever the shockwave passed, the air was torn apart, forming visible gusts of wind.
For a moment, they were evenly matched.
Indeed, it was true; Jozu's body instantly transformed into diamond. It was dazzling in the sunlight, and despite its beauty, it seemed no force could penetrate its defenses.
Aini, on the other hand, was covered in a layer of golden dragon scales that clung tightly to his skin, like an indestructible suit of armor.
Similarly, few can break through its defenses.
Moreover, both of them have their own strengths.
Jozu is known for his immense strength; every punch he throws contains terrifying power, and he has always relied on brute force to subdue others. Enni, on the other hand, not only has reached the awakening level of his Zoan-type Devil Fruit, but also possesses the bloodline of a Titan and is proficient in physical combat. The perfect combination of these three factors makes him incredibly powerful.
He is in no way inferior to someone with superhuman strength like Jozu.
It can be said that both Jozu and Enni are unparalleled powerhouses who excel in both offense and defense.
However, despite this, Jozu was still slightly outmatched in his fight against Enni. After all, Jozu utilized the force of his fall during the battle, which undoubtedly gave him a certain advantage, but also reflected his own lack of strength.
More importantly, Aini has not yet revealed all his trump cards. It's important to understand that what he has shown is only his dragon-human form, far from his strongest form.
