Chapter 210: The Battle of Two Monsters, Come Forth! Spirit of Fire
The moment Madara's voice fell, people expected them to test each other first.
However, it was not as they imagined.
Two people! At the same time!
In an instant, strong momentum erupted. The energy gushed out of their bodies like a volcanic eruption, vibrating the surrounding air and forming a visible shockwave that spread from their feet.
The figures of the two disappeared.
BOOM BOOM!!!
In the next second, they reappeared. Yuichi slashed towards Madara with his Zanpakutō, and at some point, a black rod appeared in Madara's hand to block the strike. The collision of blade and black rod erupted in a cascade of sparks. The aftermath shattered the ground beneath their feet. Before people had time to lock onto them, they vanished again.
This time they appeared on a roof ten meters away. The sound of clashing metal rang out.
Ding ding... Clang!!!
Sparks splashed in the air as their figures flickered extremely fast. Storms broke out from different locations. Every time the wind swept away, leaving behind afterimages, the sound of the next collision followed. The entire battlefield seemed to have become a blacksmith's shop.
The turmoil generated by the fight spread, leaving long gouges in the ground. It even affected the pirates watching the battle. Marco was almost hit by a stray wind slash, barely catching it with his fruit ability.
The battle between top powerhouses—speed, strength—everything was pushed to the limit. Flickering afterimages, sparks exploding everywhere, violent winds, and flying dust.
People in both worlds were shocked. In the Ninja World, many Shinobi stared at the light curtain.
"What speed... what strong attacks..."
"My eyes can't keep up! They are getting faster and faster!"
"How could Uchiha Madara have such strength? Chakra obviously provides less physical enhancement than Haki, but he dares to collide head-on without losing ground!"
"Amazing Taijutsu! Madara's Taijutsu is so strong; he dodged the slashes several times in a row! His reaction speed is incredible!"
The people in the Pirate World were equally amazed. Especially the three Admirals, who had retreated to the edge of the battlefield.
Akainu clenched his fists, staring fiercely at Yuichi. His face was full of unwillingness. "How is it possible... His strength has become stronger again!"
Kizaru sighed. "It's not just Yuichi. The invaders from the Otherworld are the real fear. They should be suppressed by Haki in melee ability, but look—Madara fights Yuichi evenly! That astonishing reaction... and he seems to be able to predict the enemy's attack!"
Aokiji nodded. "So you noticed it too! I feel that Yuichi's movements are being seen through. Otherwise, Madara's melee combat ability shouldn't be as good as Yuichi's."
"Both are monsters..."
One seemed able to see through the opponent's actions, while the other maintained suppression even if his actions were predicted. Yuichi's swordsmanship was on full display. In the face of emergencies, he changed moves cleanly, launching slashes from impossible angles, continuously interrupting Madara just as he found his rhythm.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!
Suddenly, the figures stopped in the center of the battlefield, colliding fiercely.
Yuichi held his Zanpakutō with both hands, leaning forward, Haki overlaying the blade. Madara held two long black rods, blocking the knife. Neither gave an inch. Terrifying power erupted from their feet, pushing their bodies toward the opponent. As the two forces collided, the ground suddenly sank. The earth within ten meters cracked and collapsed. Invisible ripples began to spread, setting off thick smoke.
But the two parties involved...
Yuichi had a smile on his face, eyes full of fighting flames. Madara's expression was similar, though slightly colder.
Madara: "You... are strong..."
Yuichi: "You are also strong!"
Silence!
Veins bulged on their hands as they increased their strength. Three seconds later, the ground could no longer bear it. A crack broke out between them, expanding rapidly.
Suddenly!
Madara jumped backward, turning in the air to land on a roof. The moment Madara moved, Yuichi also stopped his push, not rushing to pursue.
"It seems it is indeed a disadvantage to use the power of Chakra to fight close-quarters with people of your world!"
Hearing Madara's words, everyone in the Ninja World was speechless. You realized that now? You fought for so long at a disadvantage and still held your own! You're just showing off!
"The warm-up is over, so I'm going to get serious next!"
As Madara folded his hands on his chest, his Mangekyō Sharingan dilated slightly.
"Susanoo..."
BOOM!!
Susanoo rose slowly behind Madara, blue energy exuding dazzling light. A huge phantom enveloped him, crushing the surroundings with strong momentum. The appearance of Susanoo made Whitebeard and the others frown. They knew the power of this thing.
Just when Whitebeard thought to remind Yuichi, Yuichi laughed. "Time to get serious, huh?"
Hearing this, Madara found it interesting. He thought Yuichi was bluffing. "Yuichi! I'm not joking. You have to be careful with Susanoo's power! Your slash may not be enough to break through its defense!"
With Yuichi's current state, his Reiatsu was weakened, and his slash would indeed struggle against Susanoo.
But!
Yuichi looked at the huge blue avatar. "Don't think that you are the only one who can summon titans!"
Madara's expression froze. Was this guy saying he could summon Susanoo too? Are you kidding? That is the Bloodline Limit of the Uchiha clan...
"Come forth! Spirit of Fire!!"
