Chapter 317 "Cold Flame Form"

"This is..."

Among the people present, apart from Uchiha Hikaru, the first person to catch the change in Esdeath's aura was Red Hair.

He originally thought that the outcome of this battle would be decided once "God's Bane" was used, and he was even putting away his sword, but he felt something was wrong in an instant. Then his whole mind was shocked, and he suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at the opposite side a hundred meters away.

——Conqueror's Haki? !

In fact, Conqueror's Haki itself is not that rare. After all, in this sea of ​​the New World, there are dozens of people who have this kind of domineering power, not to mention hundreds or thousands. And basically they are all big pirates who can shock the World Government. In the Rocks Group and Roger Group back then, the main crew members all had Conqueror's Haki.

But...

How could a person with the potential for Conqueror's Haki awaken when his strength was comparable to that of the Four Emperors? Shouldn't this kind of thing usually happen in childhood?

And...

Isn't the strength of this Conqueror's Haki...a bit too high?

Under the red-haired man's observation Haki, he only "saw" a group of ice-blue air columns that were invisible to the naked eye, rising from the sky in front of his sight, tearing through the nearly 1,000-meter-high clouds in an instant, and then soaring higher!

While the height rose sharply.

This air column was also spreading in all directions, with a posture no less powerful than the "God Avoidance" just now, rushing indiscriminately in all directions, crushing everything along the way! !

Even the red-haired man himself was vaguely inferior to this level of domineering Haki!

While his mind was floating.

He drew his sword out of the sheath again and slashed at the oncoming shock wave!

This scene was like a replica of the battle between the red-haired man and the white beard in the original work.

But...

Whether it was the red-haired man or Esdeath, the momentum that burst out at this moment was more amazing than the red and white attack in the original timeline!

In just a moment, the clouds that had split open thousands of meters in the sky were crushed, and then a huge storm was set off, spreading to several kilometers in radius and even further away with the posture of a 12-level gale!

...

"Trembling Fruit!"

Whitebeard, standing on the dock, suddenly punched and activated the power of the devil fruit in his body, forming an invisible space barrier that supported the coastline.

Uchiha Guang had a thought and opened the blood jade barrier, covering Bulma and others on his side and isolating them from the outside world.

This move attracted Whitebeard and others to look over here.

The concept of "magic weapon" does not exist in the pirate world.

And the shape of "blood jade coral" does not look like a devil fruit or a technological product. Even Whitebeard, who is knowledgeable, can only associate it with the "Sky Island Shell" he has seen, thinking it is some kind of magical species salvaged from the deep sea. Due to the situation, it is not easy to ask more.

The other side.

There were some passers-by who were curious and wanted to stay here to watch the battle, but now they all turned around and ran away.

It was good to be able to see the battle between the royal groups, but if the price was life, it would be too uneconomical.

A few minutes passed.

The typhoon on the sea gradually subsided and dissipated.

Although the ice and the water surface were still fluctuating, the figures of Esdeath and Red Hair had reappeared.

At this moment.

Red Hair held the "Griffin" in one hand, tilted the blade in front of him, and panted slightly.

After the impact just now, his long black cloak had been blown up by the strong wind, and the white shirt inside also showed signs of breaking.

On the other side, Esdeath was wrapped in a semi-transparent ice-blue humanoid aura, and his military uniform also had several damages, and the white silk vest worn inside could be seen.

——The so-called "silk vest" is actually the close-fitting protective gear that Uchiha Hikaru woven with the hair of the East China Sea Cloud Dragon that he collected. Because of the complex processing, only a few sets were made, and one of them was worn by Esdeath.

Because of this layer of protection, Esdeath's torso was not injured, but there were a few thin bloodstains on her cheeks and arms, and blood beads were oozing out.

"Pfft!"

Esdeath licked the blood beads that slipped from the corner of her mouth with the tip of her tongue, spit it out casually, and then raised her head, letting her long hair dance without wind. As the corners of her lips moved, her ice-blue eyes revealed an indescribable sharpness.

"Can you fight again?"

"..."

Faced with the shouting question, the red-haired man did not respond, but just slightly clenched the hilt of the sword.

The next moment.

The two jumped forward at the same time, collided head-on with each other at a faster speed than before, and then fought directly into a ball!

The wind started again! !

This time, a huge eye of the typhoon has suddenly formed here. As the battle between Esdeath and Red Hair spreads to the surroundings, it looks like a sign of natural disasters!!

This battle lasted for a long time.

It can be seen that Esdeath had a lot of fun.

Although after coming to this sea, the "Dimension Pirates" have encountered two of the Four Emperors in succession, and both have fought with her. But these two times were the remnants left by Uchiha Hikaru after the first half, and the other was a sparring game when he was old and sick and could not fight for a long time. Until today, Esdeath finally experienced a hearty battle.

——Not as comfortable as the fight with Uchiha Hikaru, but it was also a high-quality duel.

With the last face-to-face confrontation.

The sword in Esdeath's hand broke into two pieces with a "snap", and half of the blade flew far away.

And the red-haired "Griffin" flew out of his hand, leaving only his left hand with a cracked knuckle, which was already bleeding.

"It's over."

"You're not bad."

Esdeath nodded slightly, leaving a comment to the red-haired man, then made a gesture of holding her hand and collecting the sword, and turned back to the direction of the "Dimension Pirates".

To be precise, it was back to the direction where Uchiha Hikari was.

At this point, her sharpness had gradually converged, and the expression on her face was much softer than before the battle:

"How is it?"

"Not bad."

Uchiha Hikari nodded, thinking that this military princess was asking for praise, so he gave a word of approval.

"... I'm talking about this."

Esdeath pursed her lips, then raised her chin to herself and gestured.

At this time, she had not yet removed the "Hegemonic Color", and the ice-blue flame was still rising from her body, like a flame in cold water, dancing around her body quietly, giving people a strange feeling of being both cold and lively.

"This kind of flame lingering around is very similar to your "flame form", right?"

"Ah?"
