"Hmph, how can mere blood block the erosion of darkness!!!"
Seeing that Nox's blood fire had blocked his dark erosion, Imu snorted coldly. Instantly, the dark energy, like the dark power on his fist, began to burn.
A red and a black flame clashed in the air, and it was obvious that the dark fire had the upper hand.
"Hahahahaha, when it comes to power, my blood fire won't lose to yours!"
Nox laughed loudly. Instantly, a continuous stream of blood surged out from the Seven Star Sword, providing an endless supply of fuel for the blood fire, making it burn even more fiercely.
As a result, the blood fire, which was originally inferior to the dark fire, directly suppressed Imu's dark fire under the nourishment of countless blood.
"Dark Tide!!"
Watching Nox suppress his dark fire with a massive amount of blood, Imu waved his hand. Instantly, endless darkness surged out from his body.
Instantly, the entire sky was covered by darkness like a tide rising in the Sea. The roaring sound of the rising tide was like the wailing of the sky being destroyed.
Under the nourishment of countless dark forces, the dark fire burned fiercely like adding fuel to the flames, instantly suppressing Nox's blood fire.
At this moment, Imu was like a god of darkness riding the dark tide. He overlooked the insignificant Nox below from atop the waves, his eyes filled with condescending contempt.
"Blood Sea Surges!"
Seeing Imu looking down on him like that, Nox instinctively felt very unhappy. Especially seeing the other party's sense of self as a god, he wanted to step on such a god. That feeling of trampling on a god made him feel extremely comfortable!
A massive amount of blood capable of covering the sky and sun surged out from within the Seven Star Sword, transforming into a Blood Sea covering the other side of the sky that had not been encroached upon by darkness.
The Blood Sea rolled up monstrous waves, engulfing the entire sky. The peak of the waves rolled up by the Blood Sea was even higher than the waves of the Dark Sea. Nox stood atop the Blood Sea, overlooking Imu, who was shorter than him, his eyes also filled with contempt and mockery.
"Ant!!!"
Seeing that Nox was actually looking down on him, how could Imu tolerate it? Gods can look down on mortals, but mortals absolutely cannot look down on gods!
Imu immediately increased the output of his dark power and stacked his own waves to a higher level.
A dark tide occupied half the sky, and an endless Blood Sea occupied the other half. This world was already completely occupied by two forces, one black and one red.
"Then let's see who the ant is!"
Nox controlled the Blood Sea, and Imu controlled the Dark Sea. Both sides were very confident in their own strength, so they controlled their respective powers and crashed directly towards the other.
The collision of two Seas growing in the sky was like the collision of two skies. In an instant, the world lost its color, the sun and moon lost their light, leaving only black and blood red illuminating the Red Line.
The power unleashed by both the Blood Sea and the black Sea, even if not comparable to an Ancient Weapon, was not far off.
The power of the surging Blood Sea was endless and continuous, while the Dark Sea's power of absorption and erosion was extremely strong, even having the power to absorb the Blood Sea for its own use.
The two forces were evenly matched, neither giving way to the other, and they became deadlocked in the collision. Moreover, the momentum continued unabated, determined to decide a winner.
And Nox and Imu, standing at the peak of the Blood Sea and the black Sea, also began to engage in a fierce battle. Or rather, the collision of the Blood Sea and the black Sea below them was merely one way of their battle.
"Awakening!!!"
The Awakening ability of the Vampire Devil Fruit is reflected on one hand in the physique, and on the other hand, in the ability.
Previously, what Nox used was merely the physical strength after Awakening, but this time, he used the blood power after Awakening.
Instantly, this more massive sky was affected by the blood Awakening power. Water molecules in the air suddenly turned into blood drops and fell. The blowing wind turned into a bloody wind. On this clear day, a storm cloud suddenly appeared, bringing a bloody storm!
The bloody storm fell mercilessly. Instantly, Nox's Blood Sea became even larger and vaster, and there was a continuous stream of bloody rain falling, causing the Blood Sea to constantly grow.
"Bear the Blood Sea!"
This is Nox mobilizing the power of the entire Blood Sea to empower himself, elevating his strength to a higher level!
"Dark Awakening!"
At the same time, seeing that Nox and the Blood Sea's aura suddenly soared, and a clear blood cloud symbol of Awakening appeared around Nox, Imu was not to be outdone and also activated his Awakening ability.
To a certain extent, the Awakening abilities of the two can be said to be very similar. After Imu's Awakening, the power of the Dark Sea spread, and he himself also became stronger by using the power of the Dark Sea.
Behind the massive Blood Sea, a new round of huge waves rolled up. Nox stood at the peak of the giant wave, his entire body's Haki and power, combined with the power of the Blood Sea below, completely converged on the Seven Star Sword.
"Limitless Sword Soul: Blood Sea Surging!"
Nox merely raised the Seven Star Sword. Instantly, a blood-colored giant sword over a thousand meters long suddenly formed. As he slashed out with his sword, the massive blood sword suddenly descended, determined to cleave open the Dark Sea on the opposite side with a single strike.
Facing Nox's sword, Imu couldn't dodge it at all, nor could he!
At this point, what both sides were competing on was raw strength. If he dodged this sword, the Dark Sea would inevitably suffer heavy damage, and his strength would also drop at any time.
Furthermore, when the Blood Sea appeared, within any space occupied by the Blood Sea, the space was suppressed by the Blood Sea. His ability to absorb space with darkness was blocked, making it impossible for him to freely teleport within the Blood Sea, and thus he could no longer carry out his previous sneak attacks.
Now, to defeat the opponent, they had to see who could first defeat the opponent's ability after Awakening, or directly defeat the opponent himself!
"Dark God Fist!"
When it came to head-on clashes, Imu was never afraid of anyone. As he clenched his fist, the Dark Sea surged with waves, and instantly, a giant dark fist with a diameter of five hundred meters condensed above Imu's head.
As Imu punched towards the Seven Star Sword, the blood-colored giant sword and the Dark God Fist above their heads also attacked towards each other.
As the two clashed, the Blood Sea and the Dark Sea also crashed against each other with surging waves.
"Divine Sound Sky Bell!!"
While the two were in a stalemate, a hundred-meter large white bell appeared above the Blood Sea. This large bell was formed by Nox's ultrasonic ability.
The large bell did not need to be struck by anyone; it was like an ultrasonic source itself. As the bell rang with a "clang", instantly, endless ultrasonic waves transformed into sound wave destructive power, sweeping across the Dark Sea.
Originally, the Blood Sea and the Dark Sea were evenly matched, but after the addition of the ultrasonic destructive power, the Dark Sea was weakened, and even the Dark God Fist condensed by Imu was partially shattered.
"Damn ant!!"
Imu didn't expect Nox to be so unscrupulous. It was clearly a competition of abilities above, but the other party actually brought in external help at a critical moment. No, it was adding another ultrasonic power in addition to the blood power!
As a result, the Dark Sea was pushed back in this collision, the Dark God Fist was defeated by the blood sword, and even Imu was sent flying hundreds of meters away by Nox's sword.
"Hahahahaha, this is called trickery in war! You old monster who has lived for eight hundred years are still a bit green!"
Seeing Imu's exasperated look, Nox laughed loudly and continued to control the Blood Sea to attack Imu.
Mary Geoise Battlefield:
The aftermath of the collision between Nox and Imu ten thousand meters in the sky could be said to have a significant impact on the battlefield below. Not only did lightning generated by the clash of Haoshoku Haki fall, but there were also immense pressure and aftershocks generated during the clash of their powers.
There were even bloody rain and dark rain falling. If these two abilities were touched, they would corrode people's skin and muscles. Only by using Busoshoku Haki could one barely defend against them.
It can be said that on such a battlefield, one must not only guard against the opponent's attacks but also against the various natural disasters constantly falling from the sky. The World Government side also had to guard against Kyle's sniper rifle in the dark. It can be said that this kind of battle pushed the World Government side to the brink.
At this time, many top combatants of the World Government were constantly praying in their hearts, hoping that Imu could quickly defeat Nox and then come down to kill all these Pirates. Otherwise, they would soon be unable to hold on!
For example, Carlo Palada, who was fighting Esdeath. As a Paramecia-type Chaos Fruit user, his ability was very powerful. Even if the enemy was much stronger than him and he couldn't defeat them, self-preservation was not an issue.
But who knew that Esdeath's ability was completely unreasonable, even being able to freeze space solid? It could be said that to a certain extent, it greatly restrained his Chaos Fruit ability, causing his ability, which he had always been proud of, to be suppressed everywhere in front of Esdeath's freezing power.
Suddenly, a large amount of bloody rain and dark energy fell from the sky, and they all happened to land directly on Esdeath's head.
"Freeze!!!"
However, these things were not enough to pose a substantial threat to Esdeath. After the freezing power in her body spread out, it completely froze these boundless energies.
"Chaos Maze!!!"
At this moment, Carl seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and unleashed his full chaotic power to the maximum extent, creating a massive Chaos Maze to envelop Esdeath.
"Run!!!"
Carl didn't expect his ability to completely trap Esdeath inside. He only needed to trap Esdeath for a few seconds to give himself a chance to seek rescue.
He really couldn't withstand Esdeath's attacks anymore. He had already been slashed five times by Esdeath, his body was invaded by freezing power, and his bodily functions had begun to decline.
If he continued fighting Esdeath, he would definitely be killed by Esdeath, just like Anton Corrado who was killed by Bullet before.
Under the pressure of death, Carl truly did not want to face Esdeath anymore. He planned to switch opponents, or rather, to join forces with other comrades. In any case, he couldn't face Esdeath alone!
"Want to trap me? You're thinking too much!"
As the Chaos Maze took shape, Esdeath had pretty much guessed Carl's thoughts. After all, she saw that familiar look of fear in Carl's eyes.
She had already killed many people like him. When they showed that expression, it was when they wanted to escape.
"Cannot break it in a short time!"
This Chaos Maze couldn't stop her at all, but it was impossible for her to break it open immediately. It would take at least a few seconds.
But a few seconds is enough time for a top expert to escape. By the time Esdeath breaks open this Chaos Maze, Carl would have escaped her sight.
She was originally going to deal with Carl alone. If Carl escaped midway and then went to harm her other companions, she wouldn't know where to put her face!
"Awakening!"
Since she couldn't break this Chaos Maze in a short time, Esdeath decided not to hide her strength any longer. An extremely cold aura erupted from her body.
In an instant, everything within a radius of several thousand meters was frozen by this cold aura, turning into a world of ice and snow!
Even all the rules that the Chaos Maze had disrupted were completely frozen in front of her power to freeze everything.
Whether it was the normal rules of order or the rules disrupted by Carl, everything was completely frozen.
She was the only queen within this world of ice and snow, and any and all rules would be frozen by her!
"How is this possible!!"
Carl, who was originally planning to escape, saw that the Chaos Maze he had meticulously prepared for a long time was instantly broken open, and an extremely cold aura that made his scalp tingle erupted from within. His eyes were almost popping out. How could Esdeath possess such powerful freezing power!
"That's, Devil Fruit Awakening!"
Seeing the ice-white mist surrounding Esdeath's body, Carl instantly knew what this represented. It represented the power of Devil Fruit Awakening. That was Devil Fruit Awakening!
He had been eating the Devil Fruit for decades and hadn't reached this level. Yet, Esdeath in front of him had developed her Devil Fruit to the Awakening form. This was simply unreasonable!
"Run, absolutely must run, otherwise I will really die!"
At this moment, even though Carl hadn't trapped Esdeath, he immediately started running. He absolutely couldn't stay for even a moment.
If he stayed for even a second, he would be killed. That was the result his body's most instinctive reaction told him. There was absolutely no other possibility!
"How could I let you run!"
Seeing Carl's attempt to escape, Esdeath snorted disdainfully. The moment she used her Devil Fruit Awakening ability.
She not only completely froze the Chaos Maze, but also froze the surrounding space. Furthermore, the cold air accumulated within Carl's body suddenly erupted, causing Carl's body to show signs of slowing down.
