BOOM——
As the two forces clashed, a terrifying wave of energy recklessly surged in all directions, causing the villagers on the nearby dock and the navy soldiers on the warship to feel a sense of suffocation. It felt like a towering mountain was pressing down on them. Some of them were unable to withstand the sudden and overwhelming pressure, their legs went weak, and they collapsed one after another.
Xia Yu hadn't expected Karp and Red Rabbit to collide with such unrestrained force. The moment he saw a villager collapse beside him, he quickly regained his composure and took a step forward.
As his foot landed, an even more terrifying wave of energy spread outward from beneath him, instantly intercepting the surging energy wave!
Immediately, the villagers behind him felt a sense of relief and collapsed to the ground, their burdens lifted.
At the same time.
Karp, whose Armament Haki clashed head-on with Red Rabbit, couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he sensed the sudden appearance of that terrifying energy. He turned his head to look at Xia Yu incredulously and exclaimed in astonishment, "Conqueror's Haki!"
Xia Yu had unleashed Conqueror's Haki!
However, unlike the Conqueror's Haki he knew, Xia Yu's Conqueror's Haki was purer and more domineering!
What shocked him most was that Xia Yu's Conqueror's Haki wasn't used to intimidate or attack, but to block the shockwave from his collision with Red Rabbit!
This meant that Xia Yu's Conqueror's Haki had reached a level of mastery where it was both powerful and versatile, capable of both offense and defense!
And the strength of Conqueror's Haki was directly related to the strength of its user.
The stronger the Conqueror's Haki, the stronger the user.
As Karp was still in shock, a terrifying wave of energy suddenly surged towards him.
The next second, he was uncontrollably sent flying back, like a meteorite crashing into a mountain outside Windmill Village.
With a resounding 'BOOM,' Karp once again had a close encounter with the mountain.
Before he could catch his breath, Red Rabbit's figure enlarged in his pupils.
"Stop stop stop—"
Seeing Red Rabbit rushing towards him, Karp, who was stunned by Xia Yu's Conqueror's Haki and momentarily caught off guard, endured the churning blood in his body and raised his hand to stop him. "Old man has something to…"
Before he could finish his sentence, Red Rabbit's fist, the size of a sandbag, smashed towards him!
Seeing this, Karp dared not clash head-on with Red Rabbit again, and in a flash of lightning, he dodged clumsily to avoid the blow.
As soon as Karp dodged, Red Rabbit's fist landed with a thunderous impact.
BOOM——
An earth-shattering explosion rang out, and a plume of smoke billowed into the sky!
The next second, the mountain crumbled.
Although Karp had dodged the direct attack in time, he was still caught in the blast wave from the explosion, breaking his "no damage, only smoke" magic. He couldn't suppress a cough and spat out a mouthful of blood, then fell towards the foot of the mountain.
Fortunately, he was tough. As his body was about to hit the ground, he took a deep breath and performed a somersault in mid-air, landing safely.
Fearing that Red Rabbit would pursue him relentlessly, the moment his feet touched the ground, he didn't even bother with the churning blood that could erupt again at any moment. He raised his head to look up!
Seeing this, even Karp, the hero of the Navy who had roamed the seas for decades, couldn't help but gasp in shock.
The mountain that Red Rabbit had struck was missing at least a floor's height.
He could have easily blown up a mountain with a single punch too, but the other party was a rabbit!
Most importantly, he could feel that Red Rabbit hadn't used his full power just now.
If Red Rabbit had used his full power, not just this mountain, but possibly Windmill Village would have been affected!
Thinking about this, Karp didn't dare to continue fighting.
If their battle continued, as it heated up and Red Rabbit lost control even more, it wouldn't just be a mountain being cut off.
Also, there was no point in continuing this battle.
If he accidentally stepped on a pair of canvas shoes and caused unnecessary bloodshed, he, as a Navy Vice Admiral, would be held accountable.
Knowing that Red Rabbit wouldn't listen to reason at this moment, Karp didn't hesitate and turned to run.
After a few leaps, Karp ran back to the dock of Windmill Village, ignoring the strange looks from the villagers, and shouted urgently to the soldiers on the deck of the warship, "First Mate, start the ship, let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Karp leaped onto the deck of the warship.
Karp, still feeling a lingering sense of fear, glanced at the direction of the back mountain of Windmill Village, then turned to Xia Yu who was standing on the dock, "Kid, about throwing those cannonballs at you earlier, old man apologizes to you here!"
"Also, old man has a favor to ask. Can you persuade that rabbit? Old man really didn't mean to step on those canvas shoes! Tell him, next time we meet, old man will definitely buy him a brand new pair of red canvas shoes!"
At this point, Karp suddenly turned his head to look at the First Mate beside him, "What are you all standing there for? Get out of here quickly! The rabbit's catching up!"
Witnessing Karp's reaction, Xia Yu nearly burst out laughing.
He knew that once Red Rabbit entered a berserk state, Karp, even in his prime, wouldn't be able to do anything to him. What he didn't expect was that Karp would be so helpless!
But it was understandable. It was undeniable that Karp was powerful, but compared to Red Rabbit in a berserk state, his fighting power was undoubtedly seeking punishment.
As everyone knows, comparing fighting power with a comedic character is like looking for logic in a world full of laughter and exaggeration.
Compared to Ebisu pulling the island where Windmill Village is located in front of him with a single lasso, Red Rabbit beating up Karp was simply too reasonable.
As the warship swiftly turned around and left the dock, Red Rabbit came running after them with fierce momentum.
Seeing Red Rabbit's figure, Karp's eyes nearly popped out, and he kept urging, "Speed up, speed up! We can't let the rabbit catch up to the ship, or this ship will be destroyed! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Under Karp's urging, the warship, as if sensing the pressure from Red Rabbit, accelerated towards the deep sea with a piercing whistle.
At the same time.
Looking at Red Rabbit who had chased after him with a menacing aura, Xia Yu managed to hold back his laughter and said seriously, "Big Red! That old man said he knows he was wrong! Next time we meet, he'll buy you a brand new pair of canvas shoes, red ones!"
Red Rabbit's body froze, he slowly turned his head to look at Xia Yu, and squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "Big Red?"
Xia Yu smiled slightly, "Yeah, I just gave you a name! Do you like it?"
Red Rabbit didn't speak, but the flames of rage on his body were disappearing at an alarming rate.
Soon, he returned to normal, his eyes sparkling, "Canvas shoes, red! Next time we meet?"
Xia Yu nodded, "If he breaks his promise, I'll accompany you to the Navy headquarters to settle the score with him, and while we're at it, we'll demolish their headquarters!"
Just then, Green Rabbit trotted over and handed the red canvas shoes that had fallen into the ship's cabin to Red Rabbit.
The moment he saw the red canvas shoes, Red Rabbit immediately forgot everything and snatched them, hugging them in his arms.
On the warship that had fled the waters of Windmill Village as quickly as possible.
Karp kept looking at Windmill Village through his telescope, making sure that Red Rabbit wasn't chasing after them. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then collapsed onto the deck, his heart still pounding. "He's truly ridiculously strong. Luckily, old man was clever for once!"
