Chapter 226 Clash of Haki

Chapter 226 Clash of Haki

Dragon Palace City.

The Right Minister and Left Minister, who had been knocked unconscious by Haki and were lying crookedly on the ground, had already been taken away.

Neptune, Queen Otohime, and the three princes were seated. Fisher Tiger and his Whale Shark Fish-man underling were subtly protecting Neptune's family from behind, warily watching Nicholas.

Nicholas, however, was sitting cross-legged on the ground, not caring about Fisher Tiger's vigilance.

Judging from the Strength currently displayed by Dragon Palace City, to be honest, there are too many forces capable of destroying Fish-Man Island.

"Damn Human, what exactly do you want to do!!!"

Neptune's eldest son, the large Shark Mermaid Shark Star, looked at Nicholas sitting there and questioned him indignantly.

Clearly, in his view, Nicholas was in cahoots with those Pirates who burned, killed, and looted on Fish-Man Island, only stronger and able to attack Dragon Palace City.

Thinking of everything Fish-Man Island had suffered during this period, and how he, as the eldest prince of the royal family, could do nothing.

This feeling of helplessness turned into grief and indignation, and unwillingness.

Many emotions filled his heart, finally making him unable to help but vent towards Nicholas.

Faced with the Dragon Palace City's eldest prince's questioning, Nicholas turned a deaf ear, completely disregarding it. Or rather, for a minor character like Shark Star, he felt no need to explain himself.

His gaze seemed to penetrate the protective barrier of Dragon Palace City, seeing the situation unfolding in Gyoncorde Plaza.

He originally thought that as long as Vistad and Simon went, they would scare away the Pirates gathered in the Square.

But unexpectedly, Charlotte Family's most outstanding Work also arrived at Gyoncorde Plaza.

The Pirates who were likely to retreat instead became hesitant, or rather, they were waiting for an opportunity, planning to take advantage of the chaos when the two sides fought.

"Drowned in greed and losing their minds?"

Nicholas narrowed his Eyes slightly and sighed, "Perhaps this is what Pirates are."

Just after sighing, Nicholas turned his Head and smiled at Neptune.

"Hey, hey, Neptune, did you hear that? They are shouting about attacking your Dragon Palace City and snatching the Queen!"

Then he looked at Shark Star and teased, "It seems those People really want to send you a Younger Brother or Younger Sister."

"..."

Even without Nicholas's reminder, Neptune and the three princes could see the situation in the Square and hear the harsh shouts through the Visual Den Den Mushi.

They subconsciously glanced at Queen Otohime, and their Complexions immediately darkened.

In this situation, if the Pirates really attacked Dragon Palace City, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Don't look at me like that, I won't let them in. Besides, Neptune, I came with friendship."

Nicholas turned his Head, looked at Neptune and his sons whose faces were uncertain, and said seriously.

"Hmm."

Under the wide Eyes of the three princes, Neptune nodded seriously, obviously agreeing with Nicholas's statement.

The current situation was very clear: to save Fish-Man Island, they could only rely on Nicholas.

Fisher Tiger and the Whale Shark Underling, seeing King Neptune's appearance, also knew that they were powerless to help Fish-Man Island in its current situation. Therefore, they could only stare at Nicholas with murderous Gaze.

Nicholas ignored their murderous Eyes and continued, "With Dragon Palace City's Combat Power, you can't stop the gathered Pirates at all, right?"

"Don't look down on People!!!"

The three princes immediately retorted angrily.

"But isn't this the truth?"

"..."

The three princes bit their teeth and remained silent.

"However, you can rest assured."

Nicholas stared intently at Queen Otohime's Belly and said calmly, "Because I will help your Fish-Man Island eliminate all Threats and always provide Protection for Fish-Man Island. Solving the small trouble in Gyoncorde Plaza is just a greeting gift for Fish-Man Island."

"..."

Looking at Nicholas staring at Queen Otohime, Neptune inexplicably recalled the threatening Words Nicholas had said to him in Dragon Palace City many years ago, and took a deep look at Nicholas.

*I didn't expect this guy to have never given up his covetousness towards Otohime all these years.*

He silently pulled Queen Otohime behind him, using his massive Form to block Nicholas's Gaze.

Seeing Neptune's small Action, black lines couldn't help but appear on Nicholas's forehead. He only wanted to be the Godfather of the future Poseidon, not the biological father.

Square.

On the Rock Layer at the edge.

Simon looked at the silent Pirates in the Square and smiled, "It seems Reputation is quite useful sometimes."

The Reputation of the Freedom Pirates might not be very effective for Whitebeard and Kaido, who stood at the top of the Sea, and for some small fries on the Sea because they might not understand what Reputation is at all. But for most Pirates, the effect was as good as Conqueror's Haki.

In the Square.

Everyone was staring intently at the two Figures on the Rock Layer, not daring to make any moves.

"You are that Kid from the Charlotte Family who has been making a lot of noise recently? I didn't expect you to have grown to this point."

Just as Katakuri was pondering how to respond, a slightly familiar Sound suddenly rang out from behind him.

Katakuri was not worried about Simon suddenly appearing behind him. His full attention was focused on the tall Figure on the Rock Layer from beginning to end.

He was no longer the same as he was back then. He would not be as helpless as he was when facing Simon's Sniping back then.

But…

The scene of Vistad stopping the Blue Giant Dragon on Cake Island flashed through his mind, as well as the sense of danger Vistad brought him. Katakuri's Complexion also became serious.

Obviously, over the years, he had become stronger, and that guy had also become stronger.

The many Pirates of the Charlotte Family were dumbfounded, looking at the Man standing behind Katakuri, unable to react for a while.

Smoothie was the first to react, directly swinging her Sword to slash at Simon.

"Smoothie, stop!"

Many Pirates looked at Katakuri in disbelief, obviously, it was he who ordered Smoothie to stop just now.

Although they didn't know why Katakuri said that.

But in the next second, the long Sword that was slashing towards Simon abruptly stopped in mid-air and was retracted.

"Interesting."

Simon smiled, twirled the Flintlock Pistol in his hand that he didn't know when he had aimed at Smoothie a few times, and then put it away.

It could be said that if Katakuri hadn't stopped her in time, before the long Sword hit him, that little girl's Head would have been blown apart by a single shot.

"Fish-Man Island has been taken over by Freedom. All non-Fish-Man Island Residents are given half an hour. If you haven't left after half an hour, then we will consider this a declaration of war against us! In addition, the Slaves captured from Fish-Man Island, whether Mermaid or Fish-man, had better be returned intact within three days, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

As Simon's Words fell, almost all the Pirates in the Square first clamored, and then scattered and fled.

The scene was a spectacle, making the expressions of Neptune's family and Tiger and his Whale Shark Fish-man underling, who were watching through the Visual Den Den Mushi, extremely wonderful, and somewhat unreal.

Those guys who had brought indelible scars to Fish-Man Island actually ran away so wretchedly just because of a few Words?

Soon, as the Words were made clear, the Pirates in the Square basically all fled. Only a few Pirate Crews who were still relatively confident in their Strength, or who were confident that they could leave before the deadline, remained in the Square to watch.

As for their Target of observation, it was naturally how the Big Mom Pirates would choose to deal with the Freedom Pirates.

Boom!

Along with a loud noise, Vistad's Figure also landed dozens of meters in front of Katakuri.

As the Dust Cloud dissipated, Vistad's tall Figure was revealed, and Simon also retreated behind Vistad. For Simon, he didn't want to complain about Nicholas's Theory that a Gunner who doesn't engage in close combat is not a good Gunner, and of course, the main reason was that he didn't dare to complain.

Katakuri, whose Body had developed to be more than five meters tall, looked at the Figure that gradually appeared in the Dust, which was not much taller than himself, and took a deep breath.

Then Katakuri turned his Head and looked at Smoothie, and said seriously, "Are you ready? If you can't withstand it, you will die."

"What?!"

Smoothie was shocked when she heard Katakuri's Words.

Katakuri obviously had no intention of explaining. Without saying more, he simply released Conqueror's Haki with Full Power.

Black ripple-like Presence that was difficult to see with the naked Eye spread out to the surroundings of the Square at an extremely fast Speed, and the main Target was Vistad.

He wanted to know how big the Gap between himself and this Man was.

Smoothie, who was closest to Katakuri, suddenly felt as if her spirit had been punched hundreds of times in an instant. Her Eyes blurred for a while, and at the same time, her Head ached violently, and her legs suddenly weakened, almost kneeling on the ground.

Almost at the same Time Katakuri released Conqueror's Haki, Vistad also released his own Conqueror's Haki.

If Katakuri's Conqueror's Haki was the embodiment of his invincible Belief, then what Vistad's Conqueror's Haki exuded was a Conqueror's Haki as hot as the Sun, majestic and domineering!

Crack, crack.

Along with the collision of the two Conqueror's Haki, black and red Lightning appeared in the Void, and the ground of the Square between the two began to crack, and cracks quickly spread towards the distance.

The Rock Layer covered with Coral around it also suddenly appeared with cracks.

Along with the increasingly obvious cracking Sound, it suddenly cracked into several pieces and fell to the ground.

Square.

Two Conqueror's Haki Presence swept across the Arena.

The Pirates who were originally watching and planning to escape, as if their Souls had been drawn away, suddenly rolled their Eyes back and lost Consciousness, falling heavily to the ground.

For a Time, the Sound of Pirates falling to the ground rang out continuously, and the Pirates who had escaped not far were also affected.

One hundred, one thousand, ten thousand.

In less than two seconds.

Under the impact of the collision of Conqueror's Color Presence, nearly ten thousand Pirates directly lost Consciousness and lay motionless on the periphery of the Square and the farther Streets.

But there were also a small number of Pirates with decent Strength who barely resisted the confrontation of Conqueror's Haki.

"This is… Conqueror's Haki."

Smoothie shook her Head, bit her lip tightly, the Blood on her face faded, and she looked at the two Figures standing there in horror. Just the Haki of Conqueror's Haki could reach such a degree, it was really terrifying.

Dragon Palace.

A large Visual Den Den Mushi was quietly staying beside the Palace. The light emitted from its Eyes fell on the Wall, forming a broadcast screen, faithfully broadcasting the scene of Gyoncorde Plaza.

Neptune, Queen Otohime, and the three princes were all staring blankly at the scene unfolding in Gyoncorde Plaza on the light screen.

Fisher Tiger and his Whale Shark Underling were silent, watching the Pirates being knocked down like wheat being harvested.

Humans, ah, are really an enviable Race.
