Chapter 278 Lightning Clone: Rotation
Flower Capital Battlefield.
Inside the Battlefield.
Nicholas let out a breath, and with his free left hand, gently wiped the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, his chest still ached faintly.
After all, it was a Combination Technique from two Four Emperors.
Although he had taken it head-on, it was impossible to be completely unscathed.
Even though they were just insignificant minor injuries...
But it also made Nicholas clearly understand his current general State.
"The current me, facing Kaido and Charlotte Linlin working together would probably be a bit tricky, but if it's one-on-one, I'll definitely win..."
Nicholas couldn't help but slightly raise the corner of his mouth.
Simultaneously dealing with two emperors on the Grand Line and achieving victory.
This kind of Thing seems unbelievable to others, but for Nicholas, it's not something impossible to accomplish.
After all, Im is so powerful, Nicholas believes he can also reach that level.
"Before I fight that guy who has stood at the Summit of the World for eight hundred years, let you two... become my Stepping Stone."
Nicholas didn't care at all about the pain coming from his Body, and pointed his Sword at Kaido and Charlotte Linlin in the distance.
For him, whether it was Kaido or Charlotte Linlin, they could both be said to be truly powerful Combat Power, but Nicholas had no intention of recruiting or cooperating with them, because his long-standing Personality had led to almost no possibility of cooperation between the two.
At this moment.
Kaido and Charlotte Linlin were also surprised to see Nicholas.
They also hadn't expected that the Combination Technique Conqueror of the Seas they unleashed would actually be blocked by Nicholas.
Although it did indeed cause Damage, the Damage was limited.
"Hey, Kaido, is it because your Strength is too weak...!!!"
Charlotte Linlin's face, which was already starting to get a bit fat, twitched at the corner of her mouth as she glanced sideways at Kaido.
"Tch."
Kaido snorted coldly, too lazy to pay attention to Charlotte Linlin's Words. For him, although the Power of the Combination Technique Conqueror of the Seas with Charlotte Linlin was indeed great, it was, after all, just a normal Move combination of the two, so Kaido had already made a certain judgment about the effect of Conqueror of the Seas.
Too lazy to explain to Charlotte Linlin, Kaido looked at Nicholas with a Sound filled with Killing Intent and said, "You heard what that guy said, Stepping Stone???"
"I heard it."
Charlotte Linlin's Eyes were extremely fierce. It could be said that when she first left the Rocks Pirates and started her own business, there were still many Pirates who wanted to step on her Corpse to gain Reputation, but as more and more people were killed, slowly no one dared to easily use them as Stepping Stones anymore.
Unexpectedly, she heard it again today.
"I don't need you to teach me what to do, Kaido...!!!"
The Move Conqueror of the Seas, which was supposed to be a sure kill, didn't actually kill Nicholas.
It didn't even seriously injure Nicholas.
Seeing this result, Charlotte Linlin was very unhappy. After all, in her impression, Conqueror of the Seas was a very powerful Move, and almost no one could take it head-on without suffering serious Injury.
Kaido, on the other hand, stared intently at Nicholas. Back when he joined the Rocks Pirates, this guy's Strength was already stronger than his own. He didn't expect that after obtaining the Mythical Beast Type Fish-Fish Fruit, he thought he would have a chance to leave this guy behind, but now it seems he was thinking too much.
In terms of Strength alone, Nicholas is at least on par with him, or even stronger.
After all, if he were to take that Move Conqueror of the Seas himself, although he could also withstand it, he would definitely be more seriously Injured.
Kaido had already realized...
The Nicholas in front of him will be the biggest obstacle on his path to becoming Joy Boy in the Future.
After all, although those guys on the Grand Line are stronger than him now, they are also older than him!
As long as he endures for ten or twenty years, he will be the one who calls the shots on the Grand Line.
But the Nicholas in front of him is unfortunately, if he can't get rid of him, he will be the biggest Stepping Stone on his Future path.
"Mythical Beast Type Fish-Fish Fruit, and Paramecia Type Soul-Soul Fruit..."
Light flickered in Nicholas's Eyes.
The Devil Fruit of the Mythical Beast Type Fish-Fish Fruit Azure Dragon Form residing in their Bodies, and the Soul-Soul Fruit that can control Souls.
It can be said that these two Fruits are both quite good Fruits, and if he can get them, they will definitely be of great help in the Battle in the Future.
Especially Kaido's Mythical Beast Type Fish-Fish Fruit Azure Dragon Form, if he could get his hands on it.
Nicholas would consider finding a way to forge this Devil Fruit into a Devil Fruit Weapon.
A Weapon imbued with the Azure Dragon might bring surprises, you never know.
After all, many Divine Weapons in myths are imbued with some kind of Weapon Spirit, aren't they?
Nicholas was full of anticipation for this.
Of course, these Thoughts are just Thoughts before getting rid of Kaido and Charlotte Linlin.
"Lightning Clone: Rotation."
Nicholas murmured to Oneself.
As his Words fell, Lightning began to gather beside Nicholas, and Instantly a humanoid Lightning appeared, then transformed into Nicholas's Manner, and connected to Nicholas through an Electric Current invisible to the naked eye.
At the same time, the newly appeared Nicholas also had rings of Iris appearing around his Pupils.
It can be said that the Existence of the Lightning Clone inherited Nicholas's Power and Speed, as well as the Ability of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
It can even be said that as long as Nicholas's Stamina can keep up, the Lightning Clone can even continue to Exist indefinitely.
"Big Mom, don't be careless, this guy's Ability is strange."
Almost at the Instant the Lightning Clone took Action, Kaido specially reminded Charlotte Linlin.
After all, he's not unfamiliar with Logia Type, but he's really never encountered a tricky guy like Nicholas.
"I know..."
Charlotte Linlin's Eyes widened, and while speaking, she had already swung the Napoleon Greatsword wrapped in Raging Fire, and slashed a Shockwave towards the Lightning Clone rushing from not far away.
Just to test the Extent of Power of the Lightning Clone, Charlotte Linlin unhesitatingly unleashed a Might Kingdom.
This is enough to show Charlotte Linlin's emphasis on Nicholas. After all, in battles between Ability User, Ability is the most important thing besides Haki.
On the other hand, this also shows that Charlotte Linlin is a complete Stamina Monster. In terms of launching Moves, she often doesn't consider the issue of consumption.
This is also because she is wealthy and doesn't care about this degree of Stamina waste at all.
"How extravagant, but... I never expected the Lightning Clone to deal with you from the start."
Nicholas looked at the Lightning Clone that easily dodged the Might Kingdom Shockwave, a hint of playfulness showing on his Face.
The Lightning Clone is largely an idea of his, trying to see if he could create the 'Thunder God State' from the Battle with Roger and Newgate, after all, he was very clear about the Power of the Thunder God back then.
After avoiding the Might Kingdom with great Destructive Power, 'Nicholas' revealed his Form behind Charlotte Linlin in a few flashes.
Without any fancy Moves, the Lightning Spear wrapped in Lightning directly Thrust towards Charlotte Linlin's nape.
However, Charlotte Linlin was prepared. With Observation Haki activated, she immediately noticed Nicholas's Action.
It's just that she had just swung her Sword to unleash a Might Kingdom, and hadn't been able to retract her Sword in time.
Although she was abnormally confident in her Physical Strength, she didn't mind using her Body to directly endure Nicholas's Attack, and then look for an Opportunity to counterattack.
But in a Lightning Flash, Charlotte Linlin had a way to deal with it.
Prometheus's face, which was originally coiled above her head, suddenly appeared behind Charlotte Linlin's head, and then showed a ferocious smile at 'Nicholas'.
However—
Before Prometheus could engulf 'Nicholas' with Flames, Kaido, who was standing beside Charlotte Linlin, had already decisively swung his Spiked Club flashing with black and red Electric Arc, and smashed it hard at 'Nicholas'.
Facing Kaido's Attack, there was no Wave in 'Nicholas's' Eyes, and even when the Spiked Club was about to land on his head, he showed no intention of changing Moves to resist Kaido's Attack.
The Lightning Spear wrapped in Lightning still Thrust forward towards Charlotte Linlin without hesitation.
"This guy...?!"
A question flashed through Kaido's Consciousness like Lightning.
The next Instant.
The Lightning Spear that Thrust straight at Charlotte Linlin suddenly shattered, and then a huge Electric Current enveloped Charlotte Linlin.
At the same time, Kaido's Spiked Club wrapped in Conqueror's Haki directly blew 'Nicholas's' head off, and even because of its great Power, his Upper Body was also blasted into nothingness.
Seeing this Scene, Kaido's Eyes narrowed, as if he had thought of Anything.
