All around the world.
The scene broadcast by the Image Radio Snail was quite shocking.
Whether it was the collision of Supreme King Haki in the sky, or the battle between two people so fast that even the Recording Radio Snail's signal struggled to capture them!
Even across the entire sea, such level of confrontation between strong individuals is rare. The clash between Shanks, captain of the Red Hair Pirates, and Uchiha Madara, vice captain of the Konoha Pirates, is something no one in this world can ignore!
"Shanks..."
"Might not be his rival..."
The Five Elders frowned as they watched the two battling through the Image Radio Snail.
After all, Uchiha Madara single-handedly defeated the Divine Knight Order and Steel Bone Kong, even making Lord Imu hesitate to act rashly. This kind of strength is something Shanks alone is unlikely to overcome.
As expected.
The battle atop Sky Island was somewhat dazzling to watch!
"Almighty Push!"
Uchiha Madara raised his hand to dispel the fierce slash, and the surging repulsion instantly spread out, his body energy achieving significant progress with the mastery of Haki!
Shanks lifted his rapier horizontally in front of him, the black and red arcs of Supreme King Haki instantly spread across his front, assisting him in parrying the surging repulsion!
Shanks immediately sensed the difficulty of confronting his opponent, secretly noting this ability, as he brandished the rapier in his hand, once again advancing towards Uchiha Madara with a knife raised!
As far as he knew...
Uchiha Madara's abilities were quite strange, among them, Shanks was slightly aware of the Susanoo that Uchiha Madara showcased during the destruction of Mary Geoise incident!
The black and red arcs of Supreme King gathered in front of Shanks!
The application of Supreme King Haki was like second nature to Shanks; he'd always excelled in utilizing Supreme King for combat, benefiting greatly during his short years following Pirate King Gol D. Roger!
Shanks' arm lifted, the mighty Supreme King Haki under his blade's swing, a black-red slash immediately swept towards Uchiha Madara, the black-red arcs constantly hovered in the air, exuding a power that made hearts race!
Many on Sky Island were stunned by this strike; if Uchiha Madara couldn't counter it, this Supreme King Haki attack would be enough to profoundly alter Sky Island's environment!
"Actually..."
"Controlling Supreme King Haki to such a degree?"
Donflamingo viewed the mighty and sharp black-red blade light, involuntarily wanting to retreat from the heart, even though he knew Uchiha Madara could probably withstand it...
This is the power of Four Emperors level!
A casual strike makes one unable to muster the will to resist!
Uchiha Madara's expression remained calm; he merely tapped his wrist, a seal rune emitting a cloud of smoke, a broad fan and a scythe fell into his hands, making him appear like a fully armed warrior!
Even though many weapons on the sea outperform those of his world, Uchiha Madara still favors the fan-shaped scythe passed down through generations of the Uchiha Clan.
The next moment!
Uchiha Madara raised his scythe.
The pitch-black Armament Haki instantly covered the scythe!
Uchiha Madara wielded the scythe in his hand as Supreme King Haki quickly gathered around him, a slash imbued with Supreme King was released with a swing!
The two black-red slashes intersected like a cross; simultaneously, the slashes split in half, intertwining to form a black-red sphere, with tangible Supreme King Haki arcs flickering inside!
Boom!
The entire Sky Island trembled!
The dense cloud layer above Sky Island was flipped by the explosive airwave, revealing a huge void amidst the thick clouds continuously gathering in the sky!
Just a casual strike, simultaneously gathering Supreme King Haki, achieving such heights, if they fought with full force, this wondrous Sky Island might cease to exist!
However...
No one showed any sign of retreat!
Red-haired Shanks charged straight up!
Uchiha Madara unyieldingly raised his scythe and fan to meet him!
The two's blades clashed constantly, and sparks from the collision of metal and iron looked exceedingly small amidst the black-red arcs!
Uchiha Madara's Sharingan closely tracked the movements of red-haired Shanks, along with Observation Haki predicting Shanks' attacks, his scythe was always able to precisely block Shanks' incoming rapier, with red arcs of Supreme King Haki flickering around his scythe, resisting Shanks' Supreme King entanglement attacks!
This battle...
For Uchiha Madara, was handled with ease.
As the unparalleled powerhouse within the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Madara's talent far exceeded all previous Uchihas; any newly acquired power he could effortlessly master, let alone with Senju Hashirama constantly alongside him as an evenly matched sparring partner.
"Hmph..."
"Power is rather decent..."
Uchiha Madara quickly gauged Shanks' strength.
This guy is purely a master relying on Supreme King and Kenjutsu!
"Hahahaha!"
Battle intent surged in Uchiha Madara's heart as he swung the scythe in his hand, closing in, Supreme King Haki swirling around the scythe, a diagonal slash forced Shanks to block with his sword, yet his body couldn't help but be forced back by Uchiha Madara's power!
