Chapter 290 Three versus Three

The first one to take action was Momotosaki, who transformed into a giant pink dragon. Her target was also obvious: the genuine user of the Blue Dragon Fruit, Kaido, the King of Beasts.

"What's wrong with you? How come you have the same devil fruit ability as me?"

Kaido roared, and without waiting for Momosaki to answer, he rushed forward with a terrifying tornado wrapped around his body.

The pink dragon transformed by Momotosagi showed no fear at all and also crashed into Kaido, the King of Beasts. With bursts of rumbling sounds, the two dragons set off endless storms and lightning in the sky.

Momotosagi herself has the strength of a quasi-admiral. After being strengthened by Uchiha Feiyu and practicing various advanced martial arts, and with the addition of an artificial Blue Dragon Fruit that exceeds the awakening realm, her overall strength can be considered the best among Uchiha Feiyu's current harem.

Even though Kaido the King of Beasts can be considered the best among all pirates, even among the Four Emperors, he has no advantage over Momosaurus.

There is not much difference between the three colors of domineering between the two sides. Kaido definitely has the advantage in physique, but because of the difference in devil fruit development capabilities, this advantage is pulled back by the artificial Blue Dragon Fruit that exceeds the awakening level.

The greatest ability of the Animal-type Devil Fruit is to increase physical strength. Among them, the fantasy species such as the Blue Dragon Fruit can achieve almost unimaginable improvements in physical strength after being developed and awakened.

It is precisely because of this improvement that Momosaki can fight Kaido on equal terms in dragon form.

On the other hand, Princess Shirahoshi stretched out her hand and slapped the sea surface. The water current on the sea instantly condensed and turned into a spear that pierced Charlotte Linlin in the sky.

After Princess Shirahoshi was strengthened by Uchiha Feiyu and developed her own physique, she also worked hard to learn various advanced fighting skills such as Fish-Man Karate and Fish-Man Ju-Jitsu inherited from Ryugu Island.

Her physique was already strong enough, and as the Sea King, she had a first-rate affinity with the sea. In a very short period of time, she had mastered these skills unique to fishmen to perfection.

When you are in the sea, you can just exert a little force to cast the sea water into the shape of swords, spears, and halberds, and blast them at the enemies in the sky.

Charlotte Lingling, who was driving the thundercloud Zeus, waved her hand and condensed countless lightning bolts in the sky. The lightning bolts grew eyes and mouths and blasted towards the sea like elves.

"Tianman is the God of freedom!"

The shining lightning and the blue sea collided with each other, causing a loud bang. However, for both Shirahoshi and Charlotte Linlin, this kind of "elemental attack" was not an ability they were good at.

The best abilities of Charlotte Linlin, the iron balloon, and Shirahoshi, the sea king, are still their own physical bodies.

However, compared to Momosagi who can fight Kaido, the King of Beasts, Shirahoshi's strength is a little bit inferior to Charlotte Linlin. Her combat experience and three-color domineering are also far inferior. Although she has a super move like summoning sea kings, the sea kings are powerless against Charlotte Linlin who can fly.

Fortunately, Shirahoshi is hiding in the sea now, and Charlotte Linlin doesn't dare to jump down and engage in close combat with Shirahoshi. Otherwise, if she is suppressed by the sea water and besieged by a group of sea kings, this monster queen will definitely not be able to withstand it.

The battle between the two became one in the sky and the other on the sea, with each using long-range moves against the other, but neither could really pose a threat to the other.

On the side of Red-Haired Shanks, it was Empress Hancock who came forward. Compared with Kaido, the King of Beasts, and Charlotte Linlin, Shanks was far inferior in physical fitness, and he didn't even have any devil fruit ability, but in terms of domineering, he was the best among pirates.

At least Kaido, the King of Beasts, doesn't know how to use the Conqueror's Haki like Observation Haki, let alone Charlotte Linlin. Judging from his performance in One Piece, Shanks' ability to predict the future with his Observation Haki is much stronger than that of the other Four Emperors.

As the empress of Nine Snake Island, Hancock has a good level of domineering power, but she is definitely not as good as Shanks. Being able to be entangled with the domineering color is already her limit, and she cannot do it at a higher level.

However, in addition to her domineering nature, Hancock herself also possesses two complementary devil fruit abilities, the Sweet-Sweet Fruit and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. As the most beautiful woman in the pirate world, the power of faith condensed in her is also considerable.

So whether it is the regular fruit like the Sweet-Sweet Fruit, or the basic strength fruit like the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, they have been developed by her to an extremely terrifying level. If it were not for her own physical and physical limitations, Hancock's devil fruit ability would definitely be ten times more terrifying than Whitebeard!
"Miss Pirate Queen... I didn't expect my opponent would be you!"

Shanks had a smile on his face and looked polite. Behind him, the Red Hair Pirates lined up in a row, and their tremendous momentum surged into the sky.

The Red Hair Pirates were once known as the Iron Wall Pirates. They were the most balanced of all the pirate groups and were able to "balance" their strength with Red Hair Shanks. One can imagine the strength of these cadres in the Red Hair Pirates.

It can be said that the strength of Red-Haired Shanks and the dozen or so pirates under his command is enough to rival large pirate groups such as the Whitebeard Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, and the Charlotte Pirates, which have tens of thousands of pirates.

"Why, Shanks, are you guys ready to come together?"

Hancock looked at the people in the Red Hair Pirates and frowned slightly. Although Hancock was a proud person, she was actually very confident in her mind - she didn't know if she could win against Red Hair Shanks alone, let alone against the entire Red Hair Pirates.

"Of course not... How about we just have a one-on-one duel?"

Shanks stepped onto the bow of the ship, with a smile on his face, and said something in a seemingly heroic tone.

In fact, although Shanks is not an unforgivable villain, as a pirate, he is obviously not a pedantic person. From the fact that he can participate in this pirate alliance, it can be seen that he is definitely not a fool who believes in one-on-one duels.

The reason why he was willing to fight Hancock one-on-one in this battle was because he knew very well that if it really came down to numbers, they would not have the upper hand.

Don't forget Uchiha Feiyu and others, who are still on the giant sea king class in the back! With such a great god as a backup, if they really break the rules, the Red Hair Pirates will definitely suffer. In this case, a one-on-one fight is more advantageous for Shanks. If he can take the opportunity to defeat Hancock, it will also greatly reduce the strength of Uchiha Feiyu's side.

"Haha, in that case, come on!"

Hancock jumped from the deck of the ship and landed on the back of a turtle sea king that was several hundred meters long. With a proud and provocative smile on her face, she hooked her finger at Shanks.

Shanks also jumped onto the back of the Sea King, with a sincere smile on his face, and he didn't feel provoked at all:
"The Pirate Queen, right? Did you use the Tremor-Tremor Fruit of senior Whitebeard just now? I remember that you should have been a user of the Sweet-Sweet Fruit before, right?"

"Hehe, do you want to get some information? Then I'll tell you, I am now a dual-fruit ability user! Whether it's the Sweet-Sweet Fruit or the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, they are now my power!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hancock kicked out with her beautiful legs, which were wrapped in a strong domineering aura and pink and white light, directly at Shanks' head.

The rapier with tiny black lightning blocked Hancock's kick, but the vibration force carried by Hancock's foot also made Shanks retreat again and again.

"What a terrifying attack power! I feel like my hands are going numb."

Shanks swung the rapier in his hand, looking a little distressed, but actually still very relaxed:
"It seems like we have to get serious this time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Western sword had already slashed out with a flying slash that tore through the sky and split the earth. Hancock was caught off guard and was blasted away.

"Ahem... Damn it, there's no sign of Observation Haki at all. Is this the ability called Observation Killing?"

After falling on the back of another sea king, Hancock climbed up while covering her wound, with a look of regret in her eyes. For the top warriors on the sea, they rarely use their eyes and ears in combat, but rely more on their observation Haki to predict attacks.

Shanks's Observation Haki undoubtedly directly blocked the power of Observation Haki, which was no different from blocking the opponent's eyes before the battle. It brought great trouble to Hancock who was fighting him for the first time.

However, Hancock is not without advantages. The Sweet-Sweet Fruit, which is beyond the awakening level, is activated instantly. The sea kings under her feet and the endless sea instantly turn gray and white. Rocky islands appear on the endless sea - that is the result of being completely petrified by the Sweet-Sweet Fruit.

The strange petrifying power spread out and directly created a rocky island in the sea. The pink light reached all the way to Shanks' feet before being blocked by the dark domineering aura.

"This is the ability of the Sweet-Sweet Fruit..."

Shanks' relaxed expression gradually faded, and he realized that he seemed to have underestimated the Pirate Queen - she was not just a lucky guy who possessed the Conqueror's Haki and dual fruit abilities and barely stepped into the top level of the ocean, but a sea monster who developed the fruit ability to an incredible level!

The Sweet-Sweet Fruit was originally intended for bullying weaklings, but in the hands of the opponent it has completely turned into a large-scale petrification ability. Even one must take it seriously - regular abilities are always unreasonable, and no matter what level of strong person, once hit, they may be killed instantly.

Although a large amount of Haki can interfere with Devil Fruit abilities, the consumption of Haki in trying to offset a Devil Fruit ability developed to this level is extremely severe. Even though Shanks is the only one among the Four Emperors famous for his three colors of Haki, he still found it difficult to offset the petrification ability.

But then, an even more terrifying blow came. A ball of white light emitting a terrifying vibration force instantly bombarded them. The stone island and the sea were shaking wildly in an instant, as if they were being shaken in the hands of a giant.

Just the leaked vibration had such a terrifying power. It was hard to imagine how terrifying the real vibration light ball was. Shanks' face was tense, and the Western sword Gelfin in his hand was instantly wrapped with black lightning, directly colliding with the light ball.

Following a shaking that seemed to shake the sky and the earth, waves hundreds of meters high rose up on the sea again. The sea kings floating on the sea fled frantically, but some sea kings that were too close were affected by the vibration and turned directly into a ball of blood mist.

The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is not like the Sweet-Sweet Fruit, which is a regular devil fruit. However, while it has lost the strange ability to kill with one blow, the vibration power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit will not be forcibly offset and destroyed by domineering, and can only be resisted head-on with domineering.

With a loud bang, Shanks flew backwards. Even with his strength, facing such a powerful vibration ability, he could not remain unscathed - being able to fly backwards was already very difficult, and the real damage caused by the vibration force was not so easy to dissipate.

If he just stood there like a stake and took in the shock completely, Shanks would vomit three liters of blood and be seriously injured given his physical condition.

As for now, Shanks got up and wiped his mouth:
"An attack power even more terrifying than that of the old Whitebeard senior... It's really hard to deal with! This Pirate Queen can actually develop the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to this extent, it's a bit too unreasonable!"

"This level has already surpassed the devil fruit ability of that old man with white beard. How did she develop the devil fruit to this level in such a short time?"

Although Shanks was puzzled, as a pirate with a big heart, he did not think too much, but swung the rapier in his hand without hesitation, and countless crescent-shaped flying slashes instantly slashed towards Hancock.

Whether it is Hancock or Shanks, both of them have attack power far greater than their defense power, which makes the battle between the two sides more entertaining.

Shanks does not have Kaido's immortality or Charlotte Linlin's steel balloon physique. Physically, he is far inferior to Whitebeard - the King of the Sea bit off one of his arms. Even if there was an intentional factor in it, his physical fitness is much worse than the other Four Emperors.

If it were any other Four Emperors, they would be able to crush the fangs of the Sea King even without any defense.

As for Hancock, her physique is also ordinary. Even if Uchiha Feiyu strengthened her, she is definitely not as good as Charlotte Linlin and Kaido. She is definitely much stronger than Shanks, but in a battle of this level, this little bit of physical defense enhancement is not enough to withstand Shanks's armed color domineering.

So when facing attacks, both of them mainly dodge. Shanks has the ability to kill with sight, while Hancock's devil fruit can cause large-scale damage. The battle between the two is basically a contest between an assassin and a wizard.
