Chapter 123: Strange Moves
Watching the Shockwave sweeping towards him, annihilating all obstacles in its path, Captain Nicholas actually saw a familiar shadow in this move, Conqueror of the Seas.
After all, Conqueror of the Seas looked like a strengthened version of the Combination Technique Conqueror's Kingdom, especially the Shockwave-style attack, which was almost identical to the move Luffy and the others encountered in Little Garden when Dorry and Brogy teamed up to pierce through the Island-Eating Goldfish...
However, the power was obviously more terrifying when unleashed by the two Monsters, Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, after all, they had added various Additives such as Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki into Conqueror of the Seas.
Then let's try that move!
Nicholas didn't have time to think further, his entire body's Energy frantically released, a wave invisible to the naked eye rapidly spread from Nicholas's center towards the entire Battlefield, and at the same time, the attack that had already been fully charged was also released.
A pillar-shaped Shockwave was generated along with Nicholas's Slash.
Immediately, it swept towards the direction where Kaido and Charlotte Linlin were.
In terms of momentum alone, it seemed much weaker than the power of Conqueror of the Seas.
In the blink of an eye, the Shockwave Nicholas unleashed with his Sword collided in mid-air with the Shockwave emanating purple-black Lightning unleashed jointly by Kaido and Charlotte Linlin.
"Boom!"
The moment the two Shockwaves collided, all that remained in everyone's ears on Cake Island was a deafening Rumbling Sound.
Immediately following, a blinding light that could pierce everyone's eyes rose from the center of the Battlefield.
All the spectators present, feeling astonished and shocked, all subconsciously closed their eyes, after all, this kind of strong light was simply not something the naked eye could directly look at.
The next moment, the Air Wave coming head-on, centered on Cake Castle, was like an invisible giant hand, sweeping away like a whirlwind, carrying various Building Fragments and fiercely rushing towards the outer perimeter of Cake Island.
Many of the spectators were pushed back by this surging Air Wave, it was simply like a Hurricane passing through.
"What happened?!"
The people present stood firm against the wind with difficulty, while raising their arms to block in front of their eyes to prevent dust in the air from entering their eyes.
They barely squinted their eyes, looking towards the collision center point filled with Terror Aura.
The first thing that came into view was the layered Air Waves with form, accompanied by strong light.
Even just looking directly at it made them feel a kind of fear in their hearts.
"Big Mom and Kaido's joint move, was actually blocked...?!?"
Streusen, who was fighting Brook, almost popped his eyeballs out when he saw the scene in the center of the Battlefield, and even because he was too surprised, he was directly stabbed in the shoulder by Brook's Sword.
"Yohohoho, you can't lose focus on the Battlefield."
Brook landed a blow, and then pressed his advantage, for a time actually forcing Streusen into a flustered state.
"Hehe, you would also lose focus if you saw such a shocking scene. Oh, I forgot you're a skeleton, where would you get eyes from."
Streusen said while parrying.
"Yohohoho, although I don't have eyeballs, I can still see very clearly, you know."
After quickly thrusting out his Staff Sword, two clusters of eerie green Flame suddenly appeared from Brook's two eye sockets.
"The reason why I don't lose focus is entirely because I believe in Captain Nicholas."
Honestly, before the attack Nicholas unleashed collided with the Conqueror of the Seas attack jointly unleashed by Charlotte Linlin and Kaido, Brook was also quite shocked, because of the Revive-Revive Fruit, he could clearly sense how much malice there was in that attack towards living beings.
But then he clearly saw that the move unleashed by Kaido and Charlotte Linlin suddenly became distorted hundreds of meters in front of Nicholas, although it was impossible to see with the naked eye in that situation, don't forget that he never relies on visual nerves to see things.
So after seeing that scene, although he didn't know the Reason, he knew that Nicholas was confident in taking on the opponent's attack.
And the fact was just as he had expected, Nicholas took on the opponent's Combination Technique.
"Blocked it!"
"Brother Katakuri, what are you saying... such a terrifying move, how could it possibly be blocked?!"
Oven, who was still lying on the ground, had a face of disbelief.
He really couldn't believe that Nicholas could withstand the joint attack of Big Mom and Kaido head-on.
Such a thing, absolutely impossible!
"..."
Katakuri first glanced at Oven, who was unwilling to accept the reality, and then looked towards Perospero's direction without saying a word.
It could be said that when Big Mom and Streusen were unable to attend to other matters, Perospero was the one in control of the Charlotte Family's voice.
And at this moment, Perospero's face was already full of panic, after all, as someone who was cultivated as the Charlotte Family's brain, he knew the Strength of Big Mom and Kaido joining forces.
Although Kaido's Strength was much weaker than Big Mom's at this time, the two of them joining forces was enough to contend with those Monster Pirate Crews, but now their joint attack was actually withstood by Nicholas alone.
"This, this... how could there be such a Monster..."
Perospero's face was pale, and his lips trembled.
"That's Big Mom and Kaido!"
The unimaginable result that was happening made Perospero feel very uneasy.
The current BIGMOM Pirates's true Top-Tier Combat Power was only Charlotte Linlin, it could be said that mid-to-high-end Combat Power was very lacking, otherwise they wouldn't have formed an alliance with Kaido.
And just as he was thinking this, the colliding attacks in the field quickly came to an end.
All the onlookers also saw the huge Deep Pit blasted out by the Shockwave in the middle of the two sides, and also saw the three people at both ends of that Deep Pit.
"This..."
Everyone paying attention to this Battlefield was looking at Nicholas with a shocked expression, who was kneeling on one knee on the ground, holding his Sword, and constantly panting heavily.
Due to the terrifying power of the Shockwave changing the terrain in the field, the spectators could clearly see that Nicholas was kneeling on one knee at the edge of that Deep Pit, holding his Sword.
But no one would laugh at Nicholas, who was a bit disheveled at this time, because Kaido and Charlotte Linlin's State at the other end of the Deep Pit were clearly not much better off either.
"Should I go on stage?"
Stussy looked at the three people in the field with deep apprehension, and couldn't help but want to rush onto the stage to directly get a triple kill, and then get promoted, get a raise, and retire.
After all, for Pirates, the World Government didn't have so many rules, as long as they could be killed.
Moreover, with the Strength these three people had shown, they were destined to be the strongest group of people on this Sea in the future, if they could nip their future in the bud here...
Thinking was thinking, but Stussy had not made a decision for a long time.
After all, she knew that although those three guys looked like they were about to die, like they couldn't go on, she was sure that if she made a move, she would probably die on the spot.
She was still young, hadn't even been in love, and it would be such a pity if she died.
Stussy forcibly suppressed the urge to get a triple kill.
And many of the spectators also basically had some thoughts.
It's just that they were also hesitating and wavering.
Constantly weighing the gains and losses, in the end, almost everyone made a choice, which was to continue to stand by and watch.
Inside the field.
Nicholas let out a long breath, then with his free left hand, gently wiped away the Blood from the corner of his mouth.
After all, it was a Combination Technique from two Top Expert on the Sea, although he had taken it, it was not easy.
"However, that move is one step closer to perfection."
Nicholas's lips slightly curled up, obviously he had gained a lot from the previous exchange.
At this moment.
Kaido and Charlotte Linlin were also looking at Nicholas with puzzled expressions, and even subconsciously ignored the pain on their bodies.
They also hadn't expected that their Conqueror of the Seas, a Combination Technique with all their Strength, would actually be blocked by Nicholas, and even resulted in a mutual loss.
"Hey, Kaido, did you notice something in Nicholas's attack?"
Charlotte Linlin looked at Kaido with a gloomy face.
"Tch."
Kaido snorted coldly, his face was also equally ugly.
"Although I don't know how he did it, that guy's attack has the Aura of our Conqueror of the Seas, and you also noticed that strangeness, right? It's like our attack was distorted."
Charlotte Linlin said, staring fiercely at Nicholas.
After their attack entered the vicinity of Nicholas, Charlotte Linlin clearly noticed that the Conqueror of the Seas attack was distorted, and even a lot of the Energy contained within it dissipated, otherwise the Conqueror of the Seas strike just now would never have had this effect.
"No need to tell me, I know. Now that guy seems to be running out of Stamina, are you okay, Big Mom?"
Kaido said to Charlotte Linlin, two streams of hot white smoke spewing from his nostrils.
"Don't worry, I still have the Strength to kill that guy!"
Charlotte Linlin said in a chilling tone.
