"Holy Land??? Kill a Celestial Dragon!!!" Whitebeard's mouth dropped open. He looked at Darklord Ixchel, somewhat dumbfounded.
Hearing Darklord Ixchel's words, Whitebeard's first reaction was disbelief.
What a joke. Mariejois, the Holy Land, was known as having absolute defense, a copper wall and iron bastion that no one had breached for hundreds of years.
And the Gate of Justice, which spanned across the Holy Land, already blocked ninety-nine percent of people.
Wait...
Whitebeard suddenly remembered what Marco had told him before: a few months ago, Ye Chen led Empoleon to attack the Holy Land once.
He also killed hundreds of Celestial Dragons, then retreated completely unharmed.
Looking at Darklord Ixchel's illusory expression, Whitebeard saw unparalleled seriousness in her eyes.
Instantly, he believed it. If he asked Darklord Ixchel for a hundred Celestial Dragons' lives at this moment, it was estimated that Darklord Ixchel would really slaughter the Celestial Dragons.
Whitebeard took a deep breath and laughed several times, "Such an important favor, with incomparable value. I cannot use it on those despicable people like Celestial Dragons."
At this moment, Whitebeard clearly understood the value of Empoleon's favor.
This was something that hundreds of billions of Berries could not buy back.
Its value was simply immeasurable.
Long after the event, when Whitebeard eventually used this favor, he understood.
How correct a choice it was for him to resist Kaido back then.
And it was this favor that saved him, saved his pirate group from ruin.
"Whitebeard, step down. Kaido is Empoleon's prey." Darklord Ixchel glanced at Whitebeard, then ascended into the air, walking slowly.
Each step appeared dozens of meters away, spanning dozens of meters in an instant, like instantaneous movement.
"Resounding Turn." Tenma's unique steps had similarities with Death's Shunpo, but it was faster than Death's Shunpo.
Moving at a speed invisible to the naked eye, to ordinary people, it was like instantaneous movement.
"This speed!~...!" Whitebeard's face showed surprise. As Darklord Ixchel moved, Whitebeard activated Observation Haki.
Under the sensation of Observation Haki, he could vaguely perceive endless shadows flashing past.
"Empoleon truly conceals his power well." Whitebeard's eyes flashed, and he muttered to himself.
At this moment, Whitebeard took a deep breath, put down his great scythe, and shouted loudly, "Marco, retreat. Clear the area."
After seeing Darklord Ixchel, he knew that a great battle would break out soon.
This battle would absolutely be no less fierce than his battle with Kaido.
"Yes, old man." Marco's voice quickly rang out, and Whitebeard's pirate ship slowly moved forward.
...
In mid-air, Darklord Ixchel looked at the sea with an expressionless face and said calmly, "Kaido, come out. I know you're down there."
As soon as her words fell.
The sea surface surged violently. A colossal figure broke through the water. Its pitch-black fist directly lunged at Darklord Ixchel.
"Hmph."
Darklord Ixchel drew her great sword and immediately blocked the black fist in front of her. A dull sound followed.
Two colossal forces collided, exploding outwards from their center.
At this moment, the sea surface was torn apart, as if split in two by some nameless power.
Looking down from the sky, it was bottomless, like an abyss.
With the two forces as its source, a shocking surge of energy condensed, as if a storm had churned up the sea.
"The power is immense, worthy of being called the strongest creature." A trace of emotion flickered in Darklord Ixchel's eyes. Looking at Kaido in front of her, her eyes flashed, and something like fighting intent surged within her.
"Darklord Ixchel." Kaido hummed in a low voice, then sneered, "You are also one of Empoleon's powerful combatants, aren't you? Aren't you afraid that Empoleon will destroy you if you don't stay at the Charlotte Lingling battlefield?"
"Charlotte Lingling doesn't need that much combat power. Instead, why are you not staying in your territory and coming here?" Darklord Ixchel said calmly.
As she spoke, her other hand extended. Green light condensed at her fingertips.
"Flash!"
In an instant, a green beam of light shot from Darklord Ixchel's fingertip.
"What other reason could there be besides being pregnant with Ye Chen?" Kaido sneered, seemingly not seeing the flash, directly facing Empoleon.
Attack.
The flash erupted, an explosion sounded, and smoke filled the air.
A distorted body flew out from the mist, harshly landing on the sea.
"It's too much of a loss to fight you here." Kaido showed his head, looking at Darklord Ixchel floating in mid-air, his words filled with resentment.
He had no footing on the sea. Basically, every attack would cause him to fall into the sea, and Darklord Ixchel hovered in the air, completely unimpeded.
In some sense, this situation was not advantageous for Kaido.
Suddenly, Kaido's body surged, like a sharp arrow rushing towards a distant small island.
Seeing this, Darklord Ixchel followed unhurriedly with her Resounding Turn.
"Tsk. The old man and the others left."
Marco looked into the distance, then turned to Whitebeard: "Should we follow?"
"Follow." Whitebeard said.
...
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."
A series of astonishing explosions continuously rang out.
Kaido stepped onto the small island and immediately started fighting Darklord Ixchel.
Instantly, their astonishing battle began, and immense power erupted.
Colossal power swept out. The small island trembled, and the sea churned. Waves of sea mist formed, washing over the small island.
Not only that, their power even reached the sky. Wind and clouds twisted in the sky, as if some power was churning.
Suddenly, the change stopped.
At this moment, Darklord Ixchel's illusory gaze was fixed on Kaido.
"Hahahaha, Darklord Ixchel, besides those monsters, you're the only one who can fight me for so long." Kaido sneered, his eyes filled with madness, as if he had seen some treasure.
At this moment, Kaido sneered, "But if this much power can't kill me."
Darklord Ixchel heard this, and a trace of light flashed in her emotionless eyes. She slowly drew her great sword and slowly said, "Let me show you my true power. You are the first person in this world to see my true power."
"True power." Kaido's pupils instantly constricted.
He only saw Darklord Ixchel humming lowly.
"Seal it, Darklord Ixchel."
As soon as her words fell.
A spiritual pressure so immense it was unimaginable suddenly descended.
