"So you really are after my fruit ability?"
Hearing Yami's words, Issho's expression immediately tensed. He said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, but I cannot give you this ability. If such a dangerous person as yourself were to obtain my power, I fear nothing on this sea could stop you."
"Right now, no one in this world can stop me."
Yami grinned, his voice confident and arrogant: "I'll finish you in five moves. Watch clearly!"
As his words fell, Yami took the initiative to end the stalemate, turning and lifting his leg for a side kick wreathed in dark red lightning, aimed at Issho.
This was not just a kick infused with Conqueror's Haki; it was also a kick using Life Return, pushing his strength to the absolute limit.
Its power could easily shatter a mountain.
Faced with Yami's kick, Issho, who was not an agility-type fighter, had no time to use gravity to suppress Yami, nor did he have time to use pressure or weightlessness to tear up a piece of the ground and float away to escape. He could only continue to use Advanced Armament Haki and increase his repulsive force output to block Yami's kick.
BOOM—
As a deafening explosion detonated, Yami's foot did not touch Issho's Haki and repulsive force shield; it was blocked by an invisible substance.
This invisible substance, like a giant magnet, absorbed both Yami's power and Issho's power, and the two forces began to clash within it.
In just a few seconds, the stalemate was decided. A terrifying force directly penetrated the invisible substance, or rather, surged out from within it, instantly shattering Issho's shield and blasting him away.
Boom!
Before Issho could even shed the force from his body and land, his body was sent flying backward again.
Yami had teleported behind him in mid-air and struck him with a palm, sending him flying and leaving a mark on his body.
Immediately, Yami's figure appeared in the sky above the Telurofee Kingdom, his body covered in a transparent halo.
Under the effect of the transparent halo, Yami's body and clothes rapidly expanded.
In just a single breath, Yami had turned into a giant over ten meters tall.
Following that, Yami used Life Return to mobilize all the bodily energy he could gather in an instant. He raised his fist, which was twice the size of a sandbag, wreathed it in Conqueror's Haki that flickered with dark red lightning, and threw a world-destroying punch downwards:
"Guaranteed-Hit Series! King's Punch: Hero's Spear!"
BOOM—
As the punch fell, the airflow above the Telurofee Kingdom instantly distorted.
Then, a transparent white pillar of light, with a volume comparable to the Knock-Up Stream near Jaya, carrying the power to destroy an island, roared down like a tsunami.
From an ordinary person's perspective, this scene was like the sky falling.
In Issho's perception, he saw an energy wall of incredible thickness and density smashing down on him.
"Gravito: Raging Tiger!"
Issho didn't hesitate in the slightest. He immediately sheathed his sword, accumulating gravity and Advanced Armament Haki in the blade, and unleashed his strongest attack, swinging a terrifying horizontal gravitational force towards the unavoidable blow in the sky.
In an instant, the world around Issho seemed to lose its color.
Space itself seemed to twist, carrying a rule-breaking power that could crush and destroy everything as it surged upwards, colliding with Yami's punch, which was inspired by the Giant Tribe's "Hero's Spear."
RUMBLE...
Due to the Conqueror's Haki Infusion, the two forces still did not collide directly; they were blocked by an invisible substance.
The island of Telurofee, however, began to tremble violently due to the collision of the two forces.
The buildings, already ravaged by cannon fire, finally couldn't take it anymore and collapsed.
Many people inside and near these buildings were tragically caught in the disaster.
But they were relatively fortunate, as their deaths were quick, without having to experience despair and fear first.
Yami's punch, which could shatter a small island, didn't shatter Issho's "Gravito: Raging Tiger" like his side kick had. A stalemate occurred.
That twisting, pressurized wind... it was the most "broken" rule-based power of the Paramecia class.
It's not scary if a rule-based power is strong; it's scary if it has killing power.
Hancock's rule-based power carries the instant-death effects of petrification and shattering. Even without large-scale attacks, she is one of the strongest women in the world.
Issho's rule-based power, horizontal gravity, could twist and destroy everything.
Even Yami's island-destroying punch couldn't break this rule-based power.
But... Yami had already anticipated this.
So, as the horizontal gravity blocked Yami's punch, Yami raised his other hand and once again threw a world-destroying punch downwards.
In an instant, the volume of the transparent white pillar, already like the Knock-Up Stream, surged again. The density of its shockwave and Haki instantly increased, and it began to gain the absolute advantage in the stalemate.
Immediately, Yami threw a third punch.
BOOM—
The horizontal gravity Issho unleashed instantly shattered like glass hitting the floor.
The transparent white pillar of light, now stronger than the Knock-Up Stream, landed directly on the small island of Telurofee.
Immediately, the entire sea began to boil violently.
That's right, the island's earthquake didn't intensify; the sea boiled first.
Because that terrifyingly transparent white pillar of light, just like the Knock-Up Stream that could send an island into the sky, instantly pierced through the island, blasting into the deep sea, an unknown number of meters below.
When the transparent white pillar exploded, the terrifying shockwave directly overturned this stretch of the sea, killing all surrounding marine life.
The island above, which had been pierced, was torn into countless pieces by the spreading shockwave, and then submerged by the churning waves.
The entire island... was gone!
This was the result without the Ice-Ice Fruit's support.
If Garp hadn't had Aokiji to save him, that Marine Hero wouldn't just be lying in bed for two years; he probably would have died long ago.
Even if he didn't die, his body would have been left with permanent injuries, and his strength would have severely declined.
As for Issho, he was, of course, deader than dead.
Yami could have actually killed him in two punches. The "five moves" was just "five moves." He gave Issho the greatest respect: a luxurious funeral.
As for the Telurofee Kingdom, which was "accidentally" killed, Yami felt no guilt at all.
As a transmigrator, Yami felt no guilt whatsoever for killing people in this world.
His bottom line, at most, was that he wouldn't proactively kill innocent people if his interests weren't at stake.
But if innocent people were on the battlefield between him and his enemy, then "collateral damage is collateral damage." If they had to blame someone, they could only blame themselves for being too weak.
