“Is that all you’ve got?”
The same words were spat out from Teach’s mouth as he looked at the fist mark on Rowen’s chest. Teach, weakened but insanely laughing, said.
So damn frustrating!
Originally, he was ready to retreat at the first opportunity, but Rowen pursued relentlessly, leaving him no chance to slip away from the cave.
After sacrificing so much of his body, he finally gained immense power, thinking it would be enough to fight Rowen. But he was overwhelmed by speed, unable to fully utilize his strength.
Now, after sacrificing 50% of his blood, Teach finally found a way to confront Rowen head-on.
“You want me dead?” Teach’s gloomy smile widened as he spoke.
“How convenient!”
“I want you dead too!”
*Bang!*
Teach’s figure suddenly turned into a black line, as if space didn’t exist, directly crossing over a hundred meters and fiercely punching out.
*Smack!*
*Crash!*
The arm responsible for blocking instantly exploded into pieces of flesh, and the hand holding the Thunder Crescent-sided Halberd fell into the mud, disappearing from the elbow onwards.
Rowen’s pupils contracted. It wasn’t surprising that Teach’s attack exceeded his Busoshoku Haki combined with Tekkai’s defense limit; he wasn’t a Monster like Kaido, and his pure defensive power was only moderate among his peers.
But being able to blast his arm, that strength wasn’t simply “exceeding” the limit!
“So, this is the blood sacrifice? Quite powerful!”
The pain stimulated Rowen’s Haoshoku Haki to surge again. The land within a hundred meters suddenly sank, crumbling under the piercing Haki.
Wrapped in electricity, Rowen was severely injured but not shaken in the slightest. His legs filled with thunder, and a cloud-like pattern emerged, with traces of electricity, decisively sweeping back.
*Super Electromagnetic Cannon Kick!*
*Bang!*
Teach raised his knee to block the attack, feeling like his leg bones were about to shatter, but he managed to block it instead of having his limbs broken like Rowen.
Teach repeated his move, punching again.
*Bang!*
Both of them had only their left hands to use, but the threat didn’t diminish. For these two who were equally fearless of injuries, the battle was just beginning.
*Ge Zhi…*
Even with the combat skills learned from Zephyr and the ultimate Esoterics Life Return of the Marine Rokushiki, this collision still fractured Rowen’s left hand, bending it out of shape.
Teach’s eyes were filled with undisguised killing intentions and satisfaction. He turned his fist into a claw and reached upwards.
His target was none other than Rowen’s head!
Judging by the monstrous power that could shatter Rowen’s arm head-on, if this strike hit, Rowen’s head would be torn off along with his spine.
“Heh!”
At this critical moment, Rowen sneered, suddenly advancing instead of retreating, rushing towards Teach.
“Hmm?!”
Teach sensed danger but didn’t want to give up the opportunity in front of him, continuing to move forward. However, he quickly realized that he wasn’t in control.
As Rowen rushed forward, his broken right-hand muscles and bones quickly reconnected. Crimson muscles and stark white bones were exposed, rapidly healing in a bizarre, inverted perspective.
By the time Teach noticed this, Rowen’s fist, wrapped in muscles, had already heavily smashed into his face. Even though the skin hadn’t fully healed, it didn’t diminish the power of the punch.
In Zephyr’s words, if it were his prime, even the man known as the “Iron Fist,” Marine Hero Garp, wouldn’t dare to take this blow head-on.
*Military Wrist – Deep Gate!*
*Boom!*
The fist struck the chin, like a cannonball hitting a biscuit, emitting a scalp-tingling sound of shattering. Teach’s fingers only left faint blood marks on Rowen’s face, then flew backward rapidly, spinning in the air.
“Kill me? What a joke!”
The broken left hand no longer healed slowly but bent outward directly, then the fist was clenched firmly.
This healing speed was at least 10 times faster than before!
*Bang Rumble!*
The collision-generated hurricane erupted at this moment, fluttering Rowen’s Justice cloak on his back, making it rustle in the raging wind.
“I am the Undying!”
*Supercharged Travel!*
*Shua!*
Without clouds to harness electricity, he used himself as a power source.
Moving at thousands of meters per second, Rowen swiftly arrived behind the retreating Teach, clasping his fists and smashing downward.
*Thud!*
*Crack!*
“Aaaahhhhhhh!!”
This punch directly shattered Teach’s spine, turning his insides into a mass of pulp. Then Rowen stood still in place, his feet plowing two deep grooves into the ground due to inertia.
Extending his right hand, Rowen grabbed Teach’s foot, his entire body bursting with unimaginable brute strength, ruthlessly slamming Teach back onto the ground.
“Just with you…”
*Bang!*
As Teach was slammed down like a hammer, he groaned in pain, sinking into the ground with a spider-web pattern of cracks spreading out around him.
“Don’t get ahead of yourself!”
Rowen declared boldly, lifting Teach again and slamming him back down in the opposite direction.
*Thud!*
Then pulling him up and slamming him back down.
*Thud!*
*Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!*
It was not thunder, but it sounded like thunder.
The depressed impacts echoed through the sky, making the ground tremble incessantly. Finally, Rowen swung his arm violently, throwing Teach away, then took a half step back and launched a flying kick, sending him flying toward the volcano.
*Crash!*
The volcano at the center of the island had always been the overlord of this land, with countless creatures seeking its permission to live on the island. But today it welcomed two unreasonably stubborn masters who not only destroyed its home but also intended to destroy it.
Teach plunged directly into the volcano’s waist, and then, with undiminished momentum, he pulled sideways, creating a passage through the volcano.
The magma, freed from the constraints of the rocks, gushed out like blood, pouring down from the sky in large swaths, turning the sky crimson.
Rowen used Kenbunshoku Haki to lock onto Teach’s position, summoned the Thunder Crescent-sided Halberd, and swung it in a backhand arc.
“Heaven-resisting Thunder Cry – First Style…!”
*Nine Dragon Coil!*
*Swish…!*
The magma was cut, the volcano split, and the thunderous blue arc, spanning over a kilometer in length, chased after the flying Teach, then exploded. Nine distinct thunderous dragons rolled and danced in a pool of white thunder, before neatly turning around and biting inward.
*Crash!*
Before the underground lava could fully erupt, it was instantly suppressed by the overwhelming thunder, turning the sky from crimson to deep blue as if dyed.
After completing all this, Rowen dashed forward, his body leaving a dazzling lightning trail on the crumbling land, almost instantaneously locking onto a black dot a kilometer away.
“Heaven-resisting Thunder Cry – Second Style!”
*Seiryu’s Roar!*
*Boom!*
Facing the descending Thunder Crescent-sided Halberd, Teach, charred all over, opened his left hand, trying to grab it. However, the fingers, forged from molten iron, got stuck on the halberd tip. Gritting his teeth in pain, Teach managed to successfully block the strike!
However, Rowen wasn’t surprised by this outcome.
From Teach’s terrifying Haoshoku, he could tell that Teach’s overall strength was around 1 to 2, and without any other enhancements, he could only rely on pure physical skills, with his body being the only thing strengthened.
Although Azure Dragon’s Roar was powerful, it was still somewhat lacking against an Admiral-level martial artist enhanced by blood sacrifice. Otherwise, Big Mom wouldn’t have been defeated so easily.
At this moment, he looked down on Teach from above, instilling fear in him.
Because he lifted his foot.
And then, ruthlessly stomped down!
*Bang!*
Teach, with no second hand for defense, almost bit his gums until they bled, watching helplessly as Rowen’s foot stomped on his face, humiliatingly falling to the ground together.
As Teach was stamped into the ground in the shape of a “大” character, Rowen remained silent, like a cold killing machine, thrusting the Thunder Crescent-sided Halberd towards his face.
*Splut!*
