Chapter 198: A Heaven-Shaking Battle
"Tch, that still didn't sever your hands. Looks like your physical body is terrifyingly strong."
The clown CP0 mocked him with a sneer.
"But… today, you must die here!"
As he spoke, the air suddenly trembled. Like a phantom, he rushed toward Jiang Qize. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of him, the daggers stabbing like venomous snakes toward Jiang Qize's heart and throat.
"Competing with me in speed?"
Jiang Qize gave a cold laugh. His body flickered and vanished from the spot, the daggers stabbing nothing but empty air.
He then appeared at the clown's side and slammed out a punch.
"Boom!!"
A shockwave rippled outward.
Both of them were blasted backward, but in the blink of an eye, they vanished from the air again.
Boom boom boom…
A series of explosions rang out. Blurred figures flashed through the sky, their movements so fast that it was nearly impossible to see them clearly.
The clown CP0 was completely suppressed.
Against anyone else, the clown would have been terrifyingly strong. His speed was truly monstrous, and combined with daggers that virtually ignored defense, no one dared to face his attacks head-on.
Even Jiang Qize relied on his own extreme speed to attack from the side, not daring to take the blows directly.
If it weren't for his powerful physique—
That first strike alone would have crippled both of his hands.
Buzz!
Jiang Qize flashed again, appearing behind him. A lightning-wreathed fist coated in Armament Haki smashed down violently.
The clown CP0's right-hand dagger suddenly stabbed backward.
At the same time, his leg sharpened, gleaming with cold light as he kicked out.
Clang!!
The leg-blade flashed with chilling brilliance, emitting a blade's cry as it tore through the void.
The clown's eyes shrank.
"Armament · Super · Iron Body!"
His counter-stab halted. His upper body turned incomparably hard, while Armament Haki formed a black armor that wrapped around his torso. He completely abandoned offense.
The lightning fist smashed down heavily onto his body.
Boom!!!
Lightning sprayed outward as a powerful shockwave surged forth.
"Ugh!"
The clown let out a muffled grunt. A trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth as his body shot forward like a cannonball.
The corner of Jiang Qize's mouth lifted.
Buzz!
The air rippled.
He transformed into a streak of light and chased after him at high speed.
Feeling that chilling intent, the clown forcibly twisted his body and stabbed out with his dagger.
His body abruptly halted, stepping on the void as he flashed to the side.
The two immediately clashed again.
…
Meanwhile, the ghost-god CP0 directly confronted Raptorex.
"Strength isn't useful just because it's big!"
He said coldly, his body already appearing at Raptorex's abdomen. His fist, carrying boundless might, smashed down.
Raptorex's massive body was nothing more than a target to him—easy to hit at will.
"Is that so…"
Raptorex's thunderous voice rang out.
At the spot he was aiming for, a blade suddenly rose horizontally. The attack landed directly on the blade's edge—one wrapped in Armament Haki.
Boom!!
Careless for a moment, his blazing crimson-energy fist smashed into it, erupting with terrifying waves.
Raptorex was blasted back a step.
And the ghost-god CP0 was also sent flying backward.
He quickly stabilized himself.
His eyes dropped to the massive wound on his hand, his expression turning cold.
Buzz!!
A surge of aura erupted from his body. His skin became searing crimson, heat rolling off him in waves, extremely similar to when Luffy enters Gear.
But this was not a Gear that burned life force—it was his own Life Return state, entered by expending massive stamina.
After entering Life Return, his healing ability rose sharply. The wounds on his body rapidly closed and healed.
His aura climbed higher and higher step by step. The sky darkened, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and storm winds gathered as dark clouds pressed down overhead.
