Instead, he immediately turned around and ran away at an incredible speed!
····Requesting flowers············
"Although it's embarrassing, and my companions' fates are unknown, it would be pointless for me to die here!"
After comforting himself in this way, Shanks roared towards the sea with immense inner strength—
“Ben Beckman! Rakitic! Yasopp…”
He read out a list of his companions' names.
"We'll scatter and escape! Then we'll contact the Navy and inform them that Kaido the Azure Dragon and Loya, the user of the counterfeit Azure Dragon Fruit, are planning to join forces to take Egghead Island!!"
............
"This concerns the safety of the entire world!"
"If Vegapunk's advanced technology falls into the hands of pirates, this world will be plunged into the abyss of destruction!"
Red-Haired Shanks amplified his voice with his Haki.
It reverberated across the entire sea! It even drowned out the sound of the waves!
"Heh, red-haired little man, Red Dog Shanks, you've finally stopped pretending?"
Kaido the Azure Dragon unleashed wind blades as he soared into the air in pursuit, shouting angrily at the same time.
Loya found it strange that Kaido could talk while simultaneously blasting wind blades from his mouth.
Could it be that after the Azure Dragon Fruit awakens, it will use techniques similar to ventriloquism?
Chapter 210 Dragon-Painted Martial Body, Ultimate Speed Attack
"Want to escape!?"
"With Kaido and I joining forces today, none of your Red-Haired Pirates will leave here alive!"
Loya roared in fury.
He immediately used the temporary optimization ability of the recovery fruit to transform.
At that time, during the battle with Rayleigh, the King of Darkness.
Loya used a form—the Leopard-Painted Martial Body.
It is based on Rob Lucci's Zoan-type Cat-Cat Fruit, Leopard form, after the fruit's power is awakened, exhibiting an extremely low wind resistance, highly compressed muscles, and maximum elasticity.
Now, Loya is a Zoan-type replica of the Azure Dragon.
His physical strength has more than doubled compared to before.
The current human-beast form was originally similar to Kai's human-beast form, resembling a very burly giant.
However, this form of maximizing power cannot achieve ultimate speed.
Red-Haired Shanks' speed is incredibly fast.
With its power form alone, it might not even be able to catch up with Shanks, let alone kill all the members of the Red-Haired Pirates.
Therefore, at this moment, Loya, in his half-beast dragon form, switched to the extreme speed state of the Leopard-Painted Martial Body.
He turned into a very thin, half-beast dragon-man.
On the red scales, glossy black Armor Haki patterns meandered like snakes.
Golden cloud ribbons wrapped around her arms, waist, and chest, fluttering like silk ribbons.
His entire aura instantly became highly concentrated!
"Whoosh!"
Loya leaped forward, his speed instantly creating countless afterimages.
Boom boom boom! !
Immediately, a series of sonic booms exploded on the sea!
"Um?!"
As Shanks sped across the sea, his eyes narrowed, a crimson glint flashing within them.
He saw a scene from the future.
"So fast!"
Shanks looked shocked.
In that scene, he saw a blur of motion attacking from behind him. He turned and swung his sword, but missed completely.
Then the phantom appeared to his left and swiped at his left cheek with a claw...
Upon seeing the future, Shanks immediately turned around and raised his sword to prevent it from happening.
Both the flowing Haki and Conqueror's Haki swirled around Griffin's blade.
boom! !
A figure, shrouded in gold, red, and black, appeared in the air like a ghost.
The dual-force binding power carried on the dragon's claws collided with the dual-force binding power of Shanks' Supreme Grade Swords...
Instantly, crackling black, domineering lightning bolts shot out in all directions with an invincible air.
Boom!
Black and domineering, shimmering.
A storm of overwhelming color swept through.
"A clash of Conqueror's Haki... no, it's a clash of two Conqueror's Haki!!"
Kaido, the Azure Dragon, who knew his stuff, was shocked.
Although it was already expected that Loya could use Conqueror's Haki and was a Yonko-level powerhouse.
However, witnessing this scene firsthand still left Kaido, the Azure Dragon, deeply moved!
"Just who is this Loya?! His Haki level is actually comparable to that of the 'Most Haki Man,' one of the Four Emperors, Red-Haired Shanks!?"
"Even without consuming the counterfeit Azure Dragon Fruit, he's probably already strong enough to be ranked among the Four Emperors with a power level of 5.8, right?"
As the Flame Calamity King sensed the overwhelming power of the thunder and storm hurtling towards him from a thousand or two meters away, his eyes widened in shock.
On the Mammoth, Drought Jack stared silently, a chill running through him.
He glanced back and saw that, under the continuous onslaught of the Conqueror's Haki thunder storm, nearly half of the soldiers on the ship had collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Chapter 211 The Most Domineering Man
When he was battling Shanks with his double-force technique.
Loya's eyes flashed with crimson Observation Haki.
'A powerful and highly efficient use of force!'
'Not a single trace of domineering aura was wasted; the domineering aura that should be concealed and preserved was all stored within his body…'
'And the Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki that should have been used against the enemy were fully mobilized towards Griffin's blade!'
'His Observation Haki is also contained in his eyes and other senses; the slightest disturbance or sign of danger will be immediately perceived by his eyes and other senses!'
'Amazing! No wonder he's Oda's chosen "most domineering man." His skill and efficiency in using Haki are far beyond my current level...'
'but!!'
'When Shanks uses Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki at their highest efficiency, I can finally see through his [Conqueror's Haki: Observation Kill]!'
'However… this state, similar to dispelling the "Observation Kill" effect, might just be Shanks's battle strategy!'
'Because normally, there's no need to use the "Surveillance Kill" technique.'
'Instead, when it's time to strike, unleash the "Observation Kill" attack to catch the opponent off guard!'
'The current removal of the "Observation Kill" state might be a strategy to lull the opponent into a false sense of security! Let them think everything is under control, then at some point, launch a lightning-fast counterattack using the "Observation Kill" technique!'
Therefore, it can be said that dispelling the "Seeing and Hearing Kill" technique kills two birds with one stone: not only does it maximize the efficiency of using Overpowering Aura, but it also serves as a deceptive tactic to lull the opponent into a false sense of security.
'Is something so ingenious really without any drawbacks?'
"Of course not! There's a saying: 'Good fortune may be a harbinger of misfortune, and misfortune may be a harbinger of good fortune!'"
Most things in the world cannot be had at the same time.
For example, in this state, his physical defenses will be reduced to their lowest point...
'If Shanks' Observation Haki fails to detect all potential attacks at this moment, then he will be hit!'
As Loya pondered, his head rolled slightly.
He then grinned at Shanks, revealing his dragon teeth.
A red glint flashed in Shanks' eyes.
next moment.
Shanks tilted his head to the left at a large, low angle.
A scorching red line shot out from Loya's mouth.
