Chapter 38
The Stifling Void, Leaving with Head Held High

“Clang…Clang…”

“Zzzzt…Chirp…Chirp…”

Above the undulating sea surface.

The flames were dazzling, the lightning was flashing, and the air was filled with the sound of breaking through the air.

High in the sky, El moved as fast as lightning, constantly clashing with Steel Bone Kong.

Whenever Steel Bone Kong was about to gain the upper hand, attempting to forcefully counterattack and seize the initiative.

Relying on his innate special Observation Haki, El accurately predicted the opponent's attack, and immediately flapped all four wings.

With his speed, which had reached its peak under the enhancement of his Devil Fruit ability.

His swift figure, retreated out like lightning.

He pulled away in the first instance.

“Crackle…Crackle…”

“Whistle…Whistle…”

In the blink of an eye, there was either a sky full of fire, or endless wind blades, frantically pouring down.

Forcing Steel Bone Kong, who was extremely confident in his own strength, and believed that he could completely crush his opponent, to abandon his attack and block the incoming attacks.

He felt extremely frustrated.

“This guy, is he really immortal?”

He felt a little apprehensive in his heart.

Several times, even though this little Lunarian brat's reaction was incredibly fast.

But relying on his own formidable strength, he, the Vice Admiral candidate, still caught a fleeting gap and flaw.

He swung his fists, which were even more exaggerated than steel, carrying terrifying Armament Haki, and slammed into the opponent's body like a violent storm, continuously.

He couldn't hurt him at all, which was simply incredible.

Logically, the Lunarian's defensive ability also has its limits.

However, this monster, who was less than ten years old, was clearly an exception.

It was as if he truly possessed immortality.

Moreover, the opponent was too slippery.

Every time he was about to counterattack.

He would immediately enter an almost “invincible” defensive state.

Even, sometimes his whole body would be burning with blazing flames, interfering with his judgment.

It made him completely unable to determine whether the Fallen Angel El had entered a defensive state.

Sometimes he would even deliberately mislead himself.

Trying to drain his stamina.

“It's useless, you can't hurt me in the slightest.”

El looked down at the opponent and said calmly.

It has to be said that, to become a Vice Admiral candidate, Steel Bone Kong's strength was indeed abnormally strong, and his combat experience was exceptionally rich.

Even though he sometimes thought he was already extremely vigilant, and his Observation Haki could anticipate the enemy's moves, he was still caught by the opponent's flaws.

He was the only one, if it were anyone else, they would have already been seriously injured, or even killed.

But as a born monster, he had the innate ability to have a strong defense like a steel balloon, impervious to swords and spears.

He is also a Zoan-type feathered serpent god ability user, and his scales have powerful protective power.

He also has the Lunarian's racial talent ability that ignores damage.

The three of them combined have created a qualitative change from a quantitative change, and the effect is far greater than one plus one plus one.

El was almost as if he had immortality.

It was chilling and made one's scalp numb.

No matter how hard Steel Bone Kong attacked, he was still unable to truly threaten El.

Every time he was blasted away by a force that could make the strong on the sea change color and dare not resist.

He would soon stabilize his body, and then he would be alive and kicking again, as if nothing had happened, and rush back.

But the same was true, El had also launched fierce counterattacks several times.

The sword edge wrapped in Haki continuously chopped down on the opponent, or he directly unleashed powerful wind blades, cutting down on Steel Bone Kong, who either couldn't dodge in time or simply didn't want to dodge.

But he couldn't truly tear through the opponent's indestructible defense.

Even if he extinguished the flames behind his head, abandoned the “invincible” defense, and went all out in his attack state, unleashing wind blades that could easily cut through steel and tear apart mountains, he only left shallow marks on him.

It was still Steel Bone Kong who was willing to be seriously injured, not caring about his defense, charging head-on to kill, only then was he hit.

With his own Zoan-type King Kong Giant Ape Form powerful recovery ability.

This level of damage, simply couldn't pose a major threat to Steel Bone Kong, the Vice Admiral candidate.

Even releasing a more powerful Elbauf Spear.

Would be dodged or forcefully blocked by the opponent.

“Dragon Roar!”

In the blink of an eye.

Blazing flames burned.

The terrifying heat wave was incredibly terrifying.

A giant fire dragon, twisted the atmosphere.

Carrying unimaginable high temperatures, it roared and pounced forward.

“King Kong Charge!!”

“Boom…Boom…”

Powerful Armament Haki was released.

Violent fist marks, swirling with electric light, crushed the atmosphere.

It forcefully blocked the incoming giant fire dragon, feeling the heat wave rushing towards him.

Steel Bone Kong stared straight ahead at El, who was shrouded in lightning and fire, and was imposing, feeling a little uncertain: “You, have your Observation Haki reached the point of predicting the future?”

He felt unbelievable.

But it was clear that the opponent had completely predicted his attack.

He must have a higher Observation Haki than him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do this.

However, having advanced Observation Haki at the age of ten?

What kind of monster is this?

“You're not bad…but your subordinates, are not necessarily so!”

Seeing this.

El was not surprised.

With the innate advantage of aerial combat, the opponent couldn't gain the upper hand, nor could he hurt him.

But at the same time, his currently limited strength Armament Haki, and the Devil Fruit ability that still needs further development, could also hardly effectively threaten Steel Bone Kong, who has the indestructible body.

Although he, as a Lunarian, can control powerful flames.

Combining the power of the Zoan-type feathered serpent god form, the flames released had an alarming temperature.

It could easily burn steel, melt it into iron water, and even directly melt the earth, theoretically it could indeed threaten Steel Bone Kong.

But the opponent is not a fool.

Either directly forcefully resist, or directly rely on his swift speed to easily dodge.

The gap in strength between the two is there.

In the short term, it was obvious that neither of them could do anything to the other.

“You're indeed very strong…but your subordinates, aren't necessarily so!”

The next moment.

El's figure was extremely swift.

His whole body was carrying endless flames.

He instantly charged towards the battleship below.

“You dare——”

Steel Bone Kong was furious and indignant.

He couldn't help but guess what the opponent was planning.

He stomped his feet violently, and charged forward, trying to stop him.

But how could he catch up with El, whose speed already had the upper hand?

“What do I dare not do?” El's eyes were cold, and he sneered.

He easily dodged the incoming cannonballs and turned into a blazing ball of fire.

Like a human-shaped sun, hotter than magma, dazzling and dazzling, no one should approach.

“Boom…Boom…” In Steel Bone Kong's shrinking eyes, he charged down, carrying unimaginable heat waves.

He crashed through the thick hull from the side.

He pierced through.

“Crackle…Crackle…”

The huge battleship.

Instantly ignited a fierce fire, it was impossible to stop it.

It was too late to put it out, and it had already spread.

“Kukulkan El!!!”

Steel Bone Kong roared.

His legs were like electricity, continuously kicking out violently.

A series of light green slashes, frantically tore through the atmosphere, densely bombarding towards El.

But the fierce attack.

Was easily dodged by El.

And, he did the same thing.

Once again, he charged towards the other warships, carrying dazzling fire.

He couldn't defeat Steel Bone Kong, a monster whose strength was no less than a Navy Admiral.

Could he not defeat those Navy under him?

For these guys, he wouldn't show any mercy.

“Damn it——”

Steel Bone Kong's eyes were bloodshot.

He opened his mouth wide, and amazing lightning gathered there.

Observation Haki locked onto El, and he fiercely blasted out a “Thunder Roar Cannon!”

“Zzzzt…Chirp…Chirp…”

The sound of breaking through the air was loud.

The blazing lightning, fiercely pierced the atmosphere.

It shot towards El.

However, El sneered.

He flapped his wings, suddenly turning sideways, dodging swiftly.

“Boom…Boom…” The terrifying beam of lightning, directly continued unabated, hitting the warship behind.

A lot of ammunition was detonated, and the whole warship exploded.

“Ah ah…”

Accompanied by screams.

The flames soared into the sky, and the heat waves rolled.

Countless Navy members were terrified, shouting in panic.

One by one, they were thrown out like pieces of paper.

“Damn brat! I'm going to kill you!!”

This scene.

Made Steel Bone Kong roar.

He stomped on the atmosphere, ran out at an amazing speed, charging towards El.

The two figures, constantly chased each other in the air.

In the blink of an eye, another warship was directly hit by El, carrying endless fire, like a human-shaped sun.

It was simply and violently crashed through, ignited.

Steel Bone Kong, who was following behind, was helpless.

Finally, seeing that he couldn't defeat the opponent, he was extremely decisive.

He made up his mind, no longer making meaningless pursuits, and stayed on one of the surviving large warships.

He let El destroy and sink the rest of the warships one by one.

Apart from releasing Thunder Roar Cannon to harass, he was completely indifferent.

He guarded the warship under his feet, firmly.

“Steel Bone Kong, is it? You're quite decisive, and a heartless fellow…”

Seeing Steel Bone Kong no longer falling for his tricks.

No longer continuing pointless probing or confrontation.

El decisively flapped his wings, and charged towards the distance: “Next time we meet, perhaps you'll be a Navy Admiral?”

“But, get ready for it…in your brief and powerless Navy career, you'll encounter an enemy you fear the most!”

“Brief and powerless Navy career? You're quite arrogant!”

Being so openly provoked by the opponent.

Steel Bone Kong's eyelids twitched, and he was a little furious.

But he couldn't chase after him, and could only watch helplessly as the opponent left.

Unfortunately, even though he has honed his Conqueror's Haki to a high level, he hasn't mastered the power of Conqueror's CoA.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been unable to find a chance to seriously injure the Fallen Angel El just now.

How could he let the opponent leave so swaggeringly.
