Z's eyes narrowed. He was surprised for the first time. Even if the power that Vlad displayed before was strong, it didn't move him. After all, although Vlad was strong, he was still far inferior to Z.
But this time, it was different. It was completely different.
Vlad used all his strength to throw the Meteor Lance. It was completely different from the previous moves. The speed was fast to a terrifying level.
Z could feel that his Kenbunshoku was very strong. Vlad's Meteor Lance was very fast. It was so fast that if he looked at it with his eyes, he wouldn't even be able to leave a shadow. But Z's Kenbunshoku was still above it.
It was because of Z's horror that he was able to perceive the horror of Vlad's move. That kind of speed was far above the reaction speed of a human.
Even Z was no exception. After all, he was seriously ill and his body was far worse than before.
So even if Z could use Visual to lock onto the spear that was emitting endless light and heat, but he couldn't dodge it.
Facing Vlad's attack, Z only had time to slightly raise his mechanical arm to block it. Even if he was Z, he wouldn't be able to do it.
Light, endless light!!
A bright light that was far more dazzling than the sun in the sky instantly erupted!
Another dazzling sun suddenly appeared in the sky. The platinum color instantly infected the entire sea. It was far more gorgeous than the sun, far more dazzling than the light of the sea!
How bright was that?
What kind of glory was that?
How dazzling was that?
At this moment, heaven and earth lost their color!
Then what spread out was heat, incomparable heat. The surface of the sea below even emitted a strange sound. There was even a thin layer of fog that began to spread. The scope of the fog was still constantly expanding, and it was still constantly spreading. Fortunately, the battlefield of the two was far away from the sea of the previous warships. Otherwise, the ships would have burned after this blow.
The sea began to evaporate!
"Boom"
After that, there was a roar that resounded through the heavens and earth. The sky was crying, the sea was shaking, and there was no other sound between the heavens and the sea. Only this terrifying explosion that resounded through the heavens remained.
A huge mushroom cloud spread out. The strong airflow was like a storm, as if it had encountered the most terrifying storm in the sea. The violent wind blew wantonly.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
The strong wind was so strong that Vlad was blown back repeatedly with an excited smile on his face.
"Hu... hu... hu..."
"Is it that powerful?"
This was also the first time that Vlad had used this move. Before this, it was only limited to imagination. He really didn't expect that its power would actually reach such a level.
"It's just that the consumption is a bit too big!"
Vlad gasped for breath. He felt that his hands and feet were a little weak. His flame came from his ability to transform into a fire dragon, and the transformation consumed his physical strength. This kind of move was really too exhausting. He had always disliked this type of AOE move. It was not worth it. It was better to punch the enemy to death.
But this time it was different. The old man Z on the other side was really powerful. In terms of physical skills, there was still a big gap between Vlad and this man who had the title of 'Black Hand'. He was really a very strong old man.
"Wahahahaha!"
Vlad laughed. "This kind of long-range AOE is quite interesting!"
This was the first time Vlad had such an idea.
"Pfft!"
A small hole suddenly appeared in the raging flames in the sky. A man rushed out.
It was a ragged and somewhat old man.
"No -"
Before Vlad could finish his words, a fist wrapped in an incomplete Busoshoku smashed into his face.
"Bang!"
Vlad was directly sent flying far away.
Z's appearance was really not good. His clothes and hair were basically burned and his body was covered with large burns. His face, chest, and arms were all black. His skin was almost destroyed. There was a huge wound on his stomach and his flesh was somewhat carbonized. The huge mechanical arm on his right arm had been completely destroyed, leaving only his lower prosthetic arm.
But his eyes were firm and determined.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you serious?"
Vlad wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Z with surprise. "You want to fight with such injuries?"
"Or should I say, you can fight? Mr. Z, are you a monster?"
"Brat!"
Z's body closed in on Vlad in a flash. His leg whipped the wind and the clouds, and he fiercely whipped at Vlad's neck. "Don't underestimate the veterans too much!"
"I want to say don't look down on me!"
Since the enemy has not lost their ability to fight, then there is no need to stop. Fighting, only fighting, only fighting with their lives on the line. This is the way to survive in the sea.
Vlad clenched his right fist. The Haki aura wrapped around him. Some of the weak platinum flames came out and attached to it. After all, the consumption was too big.
The heavy fist slammed into Z's whip leg.
"Bang!"
The dull sound brought with it a strong wind.
"Ha!"
Z didn't succeed in his attack and a new attack immediately came. His right hand which lost the mechanical arm became more flexible. He directly punched with his right hook and directly hit Vlad in the face.
"Well?"
Vlad was beaten badly by this attack, but he wasn't someone who couldn't fight back.
He raised his right leg and kicked Z in the stomach.
The huge force didn't push Z back. He gritted his teeth and his eyes were full of blood. It was too ugly to be repelled by a pirate again and again.
Z twisted his body and spun around. His right leg was like a huge steel whip and directly hit Vlad on the shoulder.
"Crack!"
"Puff!"
Vlad spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. He clearly heard the sound of bones breaking on his shoulder. It was really a powerful blow.
"How powerful!"
Vlad's ferocious dragon head had a wild smile on it. He did not want to admit defeat. How could he be defeated here by an old man?
Vlad flapped his wings forcefully, maintaining his figure. At the same time, he clenched his left fist quietly. The white-gold flames burned once again.
"Dragon Fist - Any punch!"
A heavy punch landed on Z's face.
"Puff!"
Vlad could clearly see that the moment Z's face changed, he could see the teeth that he spat out as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Bang!"
Z took a step and instantly forced himself into Vlad's arms.
"Blergh!"
Vlad wanted to vomit but he held back. This was a life and death battle.
"Ha!"
Vlad roared, his forehead was covered with black Busoshoku, he threw it down and directly hit Z's forehead.
"Dang!"
The fierce battle continued.
