Chapter 131.2: Dance–Sode no Shirayuki— [2]

In a moment, a very domineering Conqueror's Haki burst out from Issho and rushed straight towards Rifan.

"Advance Conqueror's Haki!? As expected of the Gold List. But just like what Issho-san said, the golden list doesn't say that we can't immediately use the rewards to fight against Rifan."

"It's just a pity that the rewards I get now are not items that can increase my strength."

Shanks said as he put the sword borrowed from his companion on his shoulders, and his Conqueror's Haki, who was as domineering as Issho, rushed towards Rifan overwhelmingly.

Shrouded by two Advanced Conqueror's Haki, if it's someone else, they may have fainted already or are unable to move.

However, for Rifan, these two Conqueror's Haki are just breeze blowing.

"It's time to work." Shiryu's eyes flashed red, and the Advanced Observation Haki covered himself, staring at Rifan, "You dare to challenge 9 strongest swordsmen at the same time, I don't know if it's a confidence or idiocy, but let my beloved sword verify whether you have this ability."

In order to prevent accidents, Shiryu had already taken [Advance Observation Haki Seed] long before being sent to the duel arena.

"Marine woman, instead of staring at me, how about focusing on Rifan for now?"

"Now the golden list requires us to face Rifan together and if you take action against me without authorization. Are you not afraid of being punished by the golden list?"

Under his Advance Observation Haki, Shiryu naturally felt the gaze from Gion behind him.

"Hmp, I don't need you to tell me what to do."

Gion snorted and looked at Rifan on the opposite side.

"Sire Rifan, after this battle is over, can you open the door of your dojo and let me disturb you for a while?"

Looking at Rifan, Gion immediately put on a smiley face, as if she didn't care about Rifan being offered tens of billions of Berry bounty rewards. The geisha's skills can be seen in general.

"Let's talk about it later." Rifan shrugged, raised his head and glanced over at the others present, "So, are you ready to start?"

"Hahaha, we can start at any time, but Miss Nami next to you seems to want to fight us more." On the side, Rayleigh laughed.

Like Shanks, he also changed the sword in his hand. His previous sword has been destroyed in the duel with Nami.

In the same way, he had a sword mark in front of him that was exactly the same as Shanks, which almost ended his life.

Hearing Rayleigh's words, Nami immediately looked at Rayleigh dissatisfied.

"Nami, let's get started. By the way, I will also personally test the results of your training." Rifan smiled and looked at Nami.

At the same time, Rifan put his left hand on his right wrist, and his right hand rotated Sode no Shirayuki in a circle.

During this process, a white ribbon is formed at the end of Sode no Shirayuki, and the blade, handguard, and sword handle all become pure white.

From a distance, it is so beautiful.

"Dance, Sode no Shirayuki!" Rifan's mouth curled up slightly, "Nami, you have to be careful, don't get frostbitten by the most beautiful sword in Zanpakutō!"

"What a beautiful Zanpakutō!" Not far away, Vista stepped forward with two swords crossed in front of him. "It is my luck to be able to fight Sire Rifan and fight against such a beautiful Zanpakutō. "

"Then, it's up to me to announce the start.

At the end of the conversation, Vista suddenly jumped over Rifan.

Two swords were swung, and the violent sword intent fell towards Rifan.

"Rose Rondo!"

"First Dance, White Moon!"

Rifan used Sode no Shirayuki to draw a circular trajectory on the ground, and an icicle that pierced through the sky instantly rose up, directly freezing Vista's attack along with himself.

In the crystal clear ice water, Vista's fierce expression has not changed.

Obviously, when Rifan's attack came, he didn't even react.

The sudden situation caused the people on the scene who had originally planned to follow Vista to launch an attack, stagnant, and cast shocking gazes at Sode no Shirayuki in Rifan's hands.

"Now, it's not the time to be in a daze. Second Dance, White Ripple!"

Rifan stabbed the ground four times with the tip of his sword, bringing up snow like a fountain.

Immediately, the powerful cold air like an avalanche rushed towards his old opponent Mihawk who was in front of Rifan.

Mihawk's eyes condensed, and he directly waved Zangetsu in Shikai form in his hand.

A crescent-shaped sword aura rammed directly on the ice. After a short stalemate, the ice froze the sword aura and continued to rush towards Mihawk.

"Getsuga Tenshō!"

The jet-black Crescent Moon brought Mihawk's understanding of kendo to Rifan's ice, finally offsetting the ice.

"Mihawk Zanpakutō can only resist Rifan's attack, really a terrifying man." 

Shanks' eyes condensed, his feet slammed towards the ground and rushed towards Rifan extremely fast.

Almost at the same time, in addition to the already frozen Vista, Rayleigh,  Shiki and others followed in Shanks' footsteps.

Nami pursed her lips, thinking of Rifan's strength and the conditions for obtaining the name of "Juggernaut", she drew her sword helplessly and rushed towards Rifan.

Looking at the surrounding people, Rifan smiled, pressing down on the tip of the sword, and a fierce Reiatsu erupted from his body.

Reiatsu drove the gusty wind, and the people who had planned to approach Rifan had to stop.

"It's so terrifying, it's even more violent than Shanks and Issho's Conqueror's Haki!"

Rayleigh's eyes widened.

"Hey, this is scarier than Rogers Conqueror Haki!" Shiki frowned. "But, is my perception wrong? Why doesn't it feel like Conqueror's Haki!?"

"Probably it's a strange power like ninjutsu again." Shanks sighed, "Looking at Rifan like this, the next move may be a bit dangerous."

As soon as his voice fell, everyone's Observation Haki sensed that a powerful danger was approaching.

Under the instinctive desire to survive, everyone backed away for a long distance.

"Bankai: Hakka no Togame![1]"
