Chapter 148: Black Dragon
The great battle continued, and Hades' figure constantly dodged back and forth.
The CP0 Director-General's strength was stronger than Black's, but his body technique was slightly weaker.
He hadn't mastered the internal destruction technique of Haki, nor did he possess Conqueror's Haki.
His strength was slightly weaker than Admiral "Steel Bone" Kong.
Hades had already made his judgment.
And his battle ability had become incredibly terrifying through continuous high-intensity battle over these three years.
This made the CP0 Director-General feel somewhat troubled; in a head-on battle, he actually couldn't do anything to Hades.
No matter how he attacked, Hades could always find a way to block or directly avoid it.
Hades' strange method of controlling Haki to interfere even affected his battle.
Regarding Hades' ability, the CP0 Director-General naturally knew it was experience left behind by Fleet Admiral Black, but it was difficult to suppress.
At that time, Hades was still considered "weak," and Black could rely on his Haki and body technique mastery to resist.
Now, three years later, with the further growth of his body, Hades' Haki quality was no longer what it used to be.
If his tail was tangible.
Then the Haki Hades controlled was his intangible tail.
Even if Black stood before Hades again, he would find it difficult to do anything to the current Hades.
His own terrifying battle ability, coupled with the interference to enemies by controlling Haki.
This was Hades' nearly invincible close-quarters battle system, without blind spots, an unsolvable strength.
The only weakness was Hades' overall strength itself.
A massive shadow was looming in the sky above, constantly approaching.
Hades, who sensed it, continued to entangle with the CP0 Director-General.
Below, on the nearby battlefield, members of the Allied Forces and Pirates alike looked up in shock.
They saw an Island falling like a meteor.
That was Shiki's ability, directly controlling a small Island, crashing it fiercely towards the CP0 Director-General with an unstoppable aura.
From top to bottom, he intended to use the Island's strength to smash him into the Great Sea.
The CP0 Director-General, entangled by Hades, couldn't avoid it at all, and Shiki could also control the Island to change direction.
Just as the Island and the two of them were only thirty meters apart, which was practically within reach for something falling at high speed.
It was just an instant.
Hades' figure instantly disappeared from his original spot, retreating at an astonishing speed towards the diagonal lower direction.
Before leaving, he deliberately played a trick on the CP0 Director-General.
Interference with Armament Haki, impact with Conqueror's Haki, whether it was useful or not, just throw everything at him first.
Boom!
The massive Island, carrying terrifying impact force, smashed onto the CP0 Director-General.
He was seen trembling as he supported the descending Island with his arms, but it was useless; the Island's descent speed did not decrease.
"He's finished!"
Shiki looked at the CP0 Director-General, who had been swallowed by the Island, and smiled confidently.
He certainly didn't think that just this one Island could deal with the terrifyingly strong CP0 Director-General.
As the Island descended, the Sea Surface rose continuously under Shiki's control, intending to cut off the CP0 Director-General's escape route, like a barrier meant to swallow him whole.
"It's useless, this guy isn't that easy to deal with."
Hades, who had already moved out of the Island's range, didn't think Shiki's move would be effective.
Never forget, this was a Mythical Zoan Ability User.
Moreover, the threat of seawater was significant, but only for some Ability Users.
At least, in Hades' eyes, this posed no threat at all.
The power of death would instantly dissipate any seawater it touched, as if it evaporated.
As long as he didn't fall into The Sea, Hades didn't believe this kind of move could threaten him.
Indeed, just as Hades finished speaking, the situation changed.
At the same time, he "saw" it.
A terrifying pressure spread towards the Great Sea.
Beneath the Island, wrapped within the sea curtain, a massive shadow suddenly appeared.
The descending Island suddenly paused, its speed slowing, as if encountering some obstruction.
"Dragon Breath!"
Accompanied by a rumbling sound.
The airflow surged violently.
A black Dragon's Breath pierced through the seawater barrier created by Shiki, breaking it directly before the seawater could swallow him.
Immediately after, the Island trembled violently.
With the massive Island pressing down, escaping was impossible.
Thus, there was only one way: to shatter this Island.
And that's exactly what he did.
The entire Island seemed to suffer a fierce impact, trembling violently.
As if an earthquake had occurred.
But this Island was in the sky!
The Island wasn't large, but even a small Island was immeasurably larger compared to an individual.
Finally, Shiki's pupils couldn't help but shrink.
A black light beam shot through the underground surface of the Island, straight up into the clouds.
A hole was blasted through the clouds in the sky.
Countless cracks spread continuously.
Under the impact of terrifying energy, the entire Island couldn't hold on and directly split into four.
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a roar, a figure, an incredibly massive Black Dragon.
Appeared from the center of the splitting Island.
The CP0 Director-General's complete beast transformation was displayed before everyone.
A legendary mythical creature!
A Dragon!
A Giant Dragon!
Hades and Shiki exchanged glances, seeing the fighting spirit in each other's eyes.
Looking at the incredibly arrogant Black Dragon, at this moment, they felt like the heroes from a storybook challenging an evil dragon.
In this final great battle, everyone had their own responsibilities.
And Hades and Shiki's mission was to hold back the CP0 Director-General, preventing him from affecting Captain Rocks' battle.
This was already the end of the war, and the Rocks Pirates had launched a full assault.
One battle to decide everything!
As long as it didn't end, the battle would continue!
The great battle in the sky attracted countless eyes.
The battle between each Strongman would draw the attention of others.
Their victory or defeat often concerned the lives of personnel on one side of a battlefield.
Even on this battlefield, there were some fearless Reporters lurking, active on the battlefield through various means, recording everything happening on the battlefield with Visual Den Den Mushis.
By trading with Pirates.
Disguising themselves as Pirates.
Wearing diving suits and hiding in The Sea.
Any piece of footage, after the war, in the future, could be sold for an exorbitant price.
Everything from this era was unfamiliar to people in the future.
The World Government would erase everything through various means, preventing people born later from having memories of this era, to maintain the World Government's authority and rule.
But Hades wouldn't let them succeed; many things from this era were destined to be recorded.
The splitting and falling of the Island was simply a disaster.
Falling into The Sea, the nearby Sea Area was affected.
Every remaining ship of the Allied Forces was very important and was protected, so the battlefield was mostly on the Island.
On the nearby Islands, both Allied Forces and Pirates could see this scene.
Turbulent waves, terrifying giant waves, even a tsunami struck.
"Run, quick, run!"
Nobody cared about the battle anymore; escaping this disaster was the priority.
The further away from these monsters, the better, even the aftershocks could kill you.
