Chapter 140 - Chapter 140: The World's Top-Tier Martial Arts Duel

"Great Eruption!"

"Attendant-less Ice Fang!"

While Karl was blasting Garp off the small island.

On another battlefield of ice and fire, the battle between Akainu and Yamato was also intensifying.

Yamato, using the Inu Inu no Mi, Mythical Zoan, Model: Okuchi no Makami, was currently in her Beast-Human form, with sharp fangs, long and pointed ears, and her entire body exuded powerful waves of Haki, as well as a cold air similar to the Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit.

Around her, the ground was covered in frost.

In front of her was Akainu, his body covered in black and red magma, burning the ground into a sea of fire.

The two opposing figures were like Akainu and Aokiji in their battle for the Fleet Admiral position in the original story.

After gathering power again, Akainu once more launched a giant lava fist at Yamato.

Yamato, equally unwilling to show weakness, exhaled an all-freezing cold air from her mouth, forming a freezing light wave similar to Kaido's Boro Breath.

The clash of ice and fire made one feel both scorching heat and an uncontrollable shiver.

The white and red elements quickly expanded their coverage on the ground of this area of the Sabaody Archipelago.

Compared to the fist-to-fist martial arts duel between Karl and Garp, the battle here was clearly more intense, and the area of destruction was larger.

It was just as Sengoku had said.

If a non-ability user, or a non-Logia ability user, was not dispatched.

If Karl and Akainu were left to fight, the power and destructive force of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the Magma-Magma Fruit would inevitably destroy several islands, and no victor could be decided.

After the freezing light wave and the giant lava fist canceled each other out once again.

Yamato, holding her spiked club, used a footwork named Divine Step, instantly moving in front of Akainu. Her club, wreathed in Armament Haki and frost, smashed down towards Akainu's head from above.

"Dark Hound!"

Akainu, who had predicted Yamato's move with his Observation Haki, chose to leap back and dodge.

Then, his magma-transformed arm suddenly stretched out, turning into a black and red line of fire, striking towards Yamato's face.

This move, in the original manga, had directly taken off half of the World's Strongest Man's face.

The speed of Dark Hound was extremely fast, but it was not unavoidable for Yamato.

It was just that Yamato was too lazy to dodge in an unsightly manner.

"Mirror Mountain—Crack!"

Letting the astonishingly fast and powerful Dark Hound land on her beast-human form's head.

A crisp cracking sound suddenly came from Yamato's body.

Then her body turned into ice, and the upper part of her body, where her head was, was shattered into pieces by Dark Hound.

Yamato's real body, taking advantage of the substitute blocking Akainu's attack for her, once again used Divine Step to teleport in front of Akainu and swung the blow that had missed earlier.

This time, although Akainu could still predict it, he was unable to dodge Yamato's attack.

He could only elementalize in advance, turning his body into a giant mass of magma, and let Yamato send him flying like a baseball.

Since the magma ball was not flying towards the sea, but into the depths of the small island.

Akainu waited for the magma ball to land before returning to his original form and continuing his attack on Yamato.

In response, Yamato also charged forward, unwilling to show weakness.

The battlefield of the two once again distanced itself from Karl's, and they soon lost sight of each other.

As for the battlefield on Karl's side.

Garp, who had been sent flying several miles away, took less than half a minute to return to the pier.

"Heh... kid, that last punch really hurt!"

Looking at the three-meter-tall Karl, who exuded a familiar yet strange sense of pressure, Garp grinned, then took off his "Justice" coat, revealing a so-called "tiger's back and bear's waist."

Garp taking off his coat also announced the end of the warm-up.

That's right, a warm-up!

The previous exchange, for both Karl and Garp, was nothing more than a warm-up.

The back-and-forth of knocking each other back had only just ignited the passion of the two battle maniacs.

Whoosh————Boom!

Zzzzz...

It was unknown whose Observation Haki had predicted the other's next move first.

Karl's and Garp's figures suddenly disappeared at the same time.

The next second, a violent roar immediately exploded above the pier.

A transparent white hemispherical dome suddenly appeared out of thin air, expanding to cover the entire pier.

Wherever the dome passed, rows of invisible shockwaves extinguished all the seas of fire, swept away the nearby magma and frost, shattered countless giant bubbles floating in the air, and created dark red electric currents in the air.

Rumble rumble...

Immediately after, the ground in the pier area began to shake as if an earthquake had occurred.

The entire land was trembling, and the surrounding trees, buildings, and even the sea and ships at the pier began to shake violently.

A deafening loud bang, like a clap of thunder, resounded throughout the entire small island.

The blue sky, at some unknown point, was covered with gathering dark clouds, and electric snakes writhed within the clouds, producing waves of muffled thunder.

Two figures, tall from an ordinary person's perspective, were engaged in the world's top-tier martial arts duel.

Pinnacle of the world physique, pinnacle of the world Armament Haki, pinnacle of the world martial arts...

The speed of the two was as fast as lightning, a form of instantaneous movement that made it impossible to tell if it was the high-speed movement of Shave.

The two's fists were the size of cannonballs, wreathed in gold and red lightning, carrying a force that distorted the air, attacking each other's faces or vital points.

If they found an opportunity, they would also mercilessly deliver mountain-shattering roundhouse kicks and kicks.

Every time their fists and feet clashed, the air would surge wildly, producing rows of shockwave-like airwaves and creating a large amount of dark red lightning.

Gradually, the ground seemed unable to withstand the aftershocks of their attacks.

Crack crack crack...

Under the pounding of rows of airwaves, the ground made a series of cracking sounds.

Pieces of the mangrove land either bulged up or caved in.

In just a few short minutes, the pier where Karl and Garp were showed a huge network of cracks, looking as if it was about to break off from the small island and collapse into the sea.

As the fight went on...

Looking at Karl, whose face was full of fighting spirit and whose green eyes seemed to be flashing with red light, Garp suddenly frowned.

Because he discovered that his stamina consumption was far greater than Karl's.

Garp's punches that surpassed human limits were actually like Karl's Thunder Spear or Light Spear.

In fact, if Garp wanted to, he could completely launch a shockwave like Karl's Six King Gun.

In his normal state, Garp at 100% could shatter a mountain with one punch and level a large mountain in a few minutes.

Now, using Life Return, the power of each punch surpassed the limit by 200%, 300%, 400%, or even 500%.

In this world, only 2% of people could withstand Garp's punches in this superhuman state.

1% were the super-powerful individuals at the pinnacle, and the other 1% were users of special Devil Fruits.

But to unleash strength that surpassed human limits, the physical energy Garp consumed would also be determined by the magnitude of the force.

The greater the force, the greater the consumption.

Even after increasing his strength to five times his normal state, Garp still couldn't suppress Karl.

And the other's physical energy was far from being severely depleted.

If they continued to fight like this, he would probably soon be at a disadvantage.

At this point, Garp took the initiative to end the fist-to-fist duel and used his final resort.

A straight punch of sublimated, otherworldly power shot towards Karl's face.
