Chapter 177 The Seven Warlords of the Sea Unite, Hawkeye Doflamingo Battles Yang Jian
After receiving the order from the Warring States period, Taigong and Yang instantly took off from the spot.
Without any troops, just the two of them rushed towards the first half of the Grand Line.
Taigong remained silent on the four backs, and Yang had also learned not to ask questions; he would do whatever his uncle told him to do.
On the other side, a large ship was returning from Alabasta to the vicinity of Water Seven.
Moonlight Moria's enormous body paced restlessly on the deck, shadows writhing beneath his feet.
He was shouting at his men below.
"Perona! Absalom! Quick! Bring out the strongest artifacts from the ice cellar!"
"Ryoma! Captain John! Yes! And that giant soldier too, get ready! That bastard Blackbeard said he's almost here, we can't let him underestimate us!"
He fantasized about building an invincible army of heroic spirits from corpses, about Kaido submitting to him, and about the World Government calling him king.
He then let out a strange, chuckling laugh.
However, his laughter suddenly stopped!
A chilling, bone-chilling killing intent, seemingly capable of freezing the soul, instantly locked onto him!
The Observation Haki is issuing a frantic warning; the shadow of death is thicker than ever before!
"What?!" Moria's massive body unleashed an agility beyond its size as it desperately rolled to one side.
Egg!
A streak of silver light was faster than the limits of visual perception, almost grazing his right arm!
With a sickening tearing sound, Moria's thick right arm was severed at the shoulder, and blood spurted out.
"Aaaaaah!" Moria let out a piercing scream, overwhelmed by immense pain and fear.
"Lord Moria!" Princess Perona was terrified.
"Enemy attack!" The Invisible Man Absalom immediately went into invisibility, anxiously searching for the enemy.
They looked closely and saw a three-pointed, double-edged sword, shrouded in a faint, clear light and a chilling aura, deeply embedded in the deck where Moria had just stood, the blade still trembling slightly!
Moria would never mistake this weapon!
In Alabasta, it was the owner of this divine weapon who defeated the terrifying archer spirit beside Blackbeard!
"It's that spearman!!" Moria clutched his severed arm, his voice trembling with fear.
"A monster even stronger than the Emperor of the Sea! We're doomed! Our deal with Blackbeard has been exposed! The World Government definitely sent him to silence us!"
Perona was both anxious and furious, and recklessly conjured up a negative ghost: "How dare you hurt Lord Moria! Behold my 'Perona! Stop!'" Moria tried to stop her in terror, but it was too late.
The negative phantom pierced through the figure that had silently appeared on the deck at some unknown time: Yang, who wore divine armor and a white robe, had a third eye on his forehead, and a face as cold and aloof as an iceberg.
Yang didn't even lift his eyelids. How could a mere negative ghost shake his divine, chilling killing intent and unwavering Dao heart?
Perona's abilities were child's play compared to his.
Yang ignored the terrified Perona and the invisible Absalom, his gaze falling on the heavily injured Moria as if he were looking at livestock waiting to be slaughtered.
He did not pursue, but simply turned slightly to the side and bowed respectfully towards the clouds in the sky.
"Uncle-Master, this person has been subdued by me. Please make the decision."
As soon as he finished speaking, auspicious clouds surged in from the horizon. The Four-Unlikes rode on the auspicious clouds, carrying Taigong Wang, who was holding a god-slaying whip, and slowly landed on the deck of the huge sailboat, completely out of place in this gloomy environment.
Taigong Wang looked at the pitiful Moria, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable authority.
"Gecko Moria, I am acting on the orders of Fleet Admiral Sengoku of the World Government to strip you of your title of Shichibukai."
"You have mocked the dead, desecrated the souls of the departed, violated the laws of nature, and colluded with the traitorous Blackbeard with treacherous intentions."
"You are hereby ordered to hand over all the stolen corpses, bury them on the spot, and return with us to Naval Headquarters for trial, or you may be spared death."
Moria's face was deathly pale, and cold sweat mixed with blood seeped down his face.
Looking at the two unfathomable figures before him, he was filled with despair and resentment.
The status of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, years of accumulation, and the dream of dominating the world—are they about to come to an end today?
His massive body trembled slightly with fear and rage. He had truly experienced the ruthlessness of the World Government today.
Just when he was utterly despondent and almost succumbed to the overwhelming power disparity...
"brush-!"
A fierce sword intent slashed from afar, its target Yang!
This sword strike seemed to come from three directions simultaneously, cunning and ruthless, containing an extremely high level of swordsmanship.
As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Yang didn't even turn around. He reached out and casually blocked with his armored arm!
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing was deafening, and the violent shockwave instantly cleared the debris from the deck!
Yang remained motionless, while the pressure from the sneak attack was easily dissipated.
A voice, tinged with a hint of mockery and languor, then rang out.
"Moria, Moria, I told you long ago that the World Government was unreliable—now do you understand their ruthlessness?"
"Why didn't you just cooperate with us sooner?"
Not far away, two figures appeared silently.
The man, dressed in a burgundy patterned coat and wearing sunglasses, was none other than "Heavenly Demon" Donquixote Doflamingo.
The other person, with eyes as sharp as an eagle, is none other than "Hawkeye" Jorah Mihawk!
The one who launched the sneak attack just now was Assassin Sasaki Kojiro, who was standing next to Hawkeye and dressed in ronin attire!
Kojiro looked at his slightly numb wrist with a hint of surprise, then at Yang who was unharmed.
He exclaimed sincerely, "Truly astonishing martial arts and spiritual foundation strength! To catch my Swallow Return barehanded, you are truly the first person to do so."
His Swallow Return was a unique technique that achieved multi-dimensional distortion, yet it was so easily received and dispersed by his opponent.
The space around Doflamingo rippled slightly, and Shakespeare slowly appeared.
He looked at Yang and Taigong Wang with excitement: "Oh! The mighty Eastern God of War and Sage of War! What a conflict! What a drama!"
That's fantastic! It deserves to be written about in great detail!
It turns out that after the Alabasta incident, Hawkeye from the Red Team and Doflamingo, who was nearly silenced, secretly joined forces.
Knowing that Moria had also become disloyal to the government, they followed him, hoping to find an opportunity to win him over or use him. Unexpectedly, they ran into the navy coming to eliminate Moria.
Yang Bing's cold gaze swept over the four newly appeared people, lingering briefly on Kojiro and Shakespeare.
He could sense that this Japanese swordsman's strength far surpassed that of Moria; his swordsmanship had reached a state of perfection.
He remained calm, merely tilting his head slightly to look at Taigong Wang: "Uncle-Master, reinforcements have arrived. May I intervene?"
Taigong Wang sat atop the Qilin, still with that calm and collected demeanor, as he surveyed the opposing team's lineup.
The world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk; the unfathomable Assassin, Kojiro; the mysterious String-String Fruit user, Doflamingo; and that troublemaker, Caster Shakespeare.
He smiled and waved his hand gently: "It's alright, it's good to stretch your muscles. Just be careful."
Having received approval, Yang said no more.
His third eye suddenly opened, and a divine light swept across the entire area, instantly seeing through Absalom's invisibility.
Absolom, who was originally preparing to approach Yang to launch a sneak attack, was shocked and was kicked dozens of meters away by Yang.
The instant he retracted his right leg, he flicked his three-pointed double-edged sword and vanished!
The next moment, he appeared in front of Doflamingo, the tip of his blade aimed straight for his throat! Capture the leader first!
"Super Whip!" Doflamingo reacted extremely quickly, his hand moving, and the thick strands lashed out at Yang like a steel whip!
Snap! The whip was easily severed by the three-pointed double-edged sword!
But Doflamingo seized the opportunity to float backward as if transformed into an element, while frantically waving his hands: "Spider Web Wall!"
"Strike the string!"
"Five-colored threads!"
It seems he has a very good understanding of how terrifying Yang is, as he immediately launched a series of attacks!
Countless tough lines and dense barrages of bullets rained down on Yang!
Yang Tian's eyes darted around, and his long sword danced like the wind, impenetrable to water. Every approaching line was precisely sliced into countless segments, making it impossible for anyone to get close!
His martial arts skills perfectly countered Doflamingo's abilities.
At the same time, Hawkeye made a move!
He drew the Supreme Grade Sword Twelve Nights from his back, and an extremely condensed green slash tore through the air, slashing diagonally towards Yang's side!
This sword strike is simple and unadorned, yet it contains terrifying power capable of splitting mountains and cleaving seas!
Kojiro also made his move at the same time, and the Swallow Return technique was revived!
Three blades of light appeared almost simultaneously, sealing off all of Yang's escape routes!
"Your martial arts skills are not bad—but it's a pity you're just a mortal, and your spiritual foundation isn't strong enough—"
Facing the combined attack of two of the world's top swordsmen, Yang remained calm. With his three-pointed double-edged sword, he parried, blocked, flicked, and slashed, managing to simultaneously deflect Hawkeye's heavy slash and Kojiro's strange swallow return with a single weapon.
The shockwaves from the collision continued to explode, tearing the decks of the terror schooner layer by layer.
Shakespeare, meanwhile, brandished his quill and muttered, "Ah! valiant battle! But what hero has no setback? This is the beginning of your tragedy!"
An invisible cursed force attempted to descend upon Yang, interfering with his fortune and judgment.
However, Yang Tianyan once again unleashed divine light, directly dispelling the power of the curse!
"You dare to show off your unorthodox skills before an expert?"
He let out a cold shout, and even had the strength to slash Shakespeare with a backhand blade, forcing the latter to hide behind Doflamingo like a wolf.
Moria was stunned, as were Perona and Absalom. Yang was fighting four opponents and still holding a firm advantage!
None of the four are ordinary people; among them is the world's greatest swordsman and his heroic spirit!
What terrifying power this is!
Taigong Wang sat on his four-legged beast, leisurely watching the chaotic battle, seemingly unconcerned.
But his gaze kept drifting to the distant sky, his fingers subtly calculating, as if waiting for something, while he muttered to himself.
"It's about time they arrived. If we keep fighting, this ship will sink. Then we'll be too weak to fight back and will have to retreat."
As if responding to his whisper.
In the distance, the rumble of thunder could be faintly heard.
A vast and divine power was approaching with astonishing force.
Yang, who was in the midst of a fierce battle, paused slightly, looked towards the direction from which the thunder came, and frowned slightly.
Hawkeye and Doflamingo also felt that chilling power, and their attacks slowed down slightly.
In Yang's divine vision, in the distant sky, a magnificent golden ship, accompanied by towering thunder, sped across the sky, heading right this way!
Taigong Wang nodded slightly: "They've arrived—."
