One Piece: The Straw Hat Pirates' Max-Level Swordsman

“Well, get ready for the final blow and end this scene.” Ling Tian said in a low voice. His eyes became extremely focused and at the same time, his hands began to slowly rise. A powerful force visible to the naked eye began to condense in his palms. The air around him seemed to be stirred by this force. The aura around him gradually became violent, like surging waves.

Kizaru nodded solemnly and replied, "Okay, but don't let yourself be caught." His body was instantly enveloped by a dazzling light. As the light flashed, golden energy gathered madly in his hands like a whirlpool. The powerful energy fluctuations caused slight distortions in the surrounding space.

Everyone around was watching the battle nervously, their hearts beating so fast that they seemed to burst out of their throats. Everyone clenched their fists, beads of sweat covered their foreheads, and they dared not breathe.

The CP0 who came with Kizaru didn't even dare to blink. His eyes were wide open, and the ultimate showdown between the two that was about to break out was reflected in his pupils. He was afraid of missing any moment.

Ling Tian took a deep breath, and the muscles in his arms instantly swelled up, as hard as steel. Strength continued to flow out from deep within his body, rising continuously, as if there was no end. He shouted loudly: "Yellow Monkey, take my move!" The sound exploded on the sea like thunder, making everyone's ears buzz.

Kizaru was not to be outdone. He straightened his body and shouted, "Come on!" His voice was full of determination and confidence.

Then, Ling Tian and Huang Yuan both exerted their strength at the same time and attacked with all their strength. Ling Tian's fist was covered with a layer of energy that was so powerful that it made people's heart palpitate. The energy flashed with a mysterious light and blasted towards Huang Yuan like a cannonball with a whistling sound. Wherever it passed, the air was torn apart, making a sharp explosion.

Kizaru compressed the light condensed in his hand into a huge and dazzling beam of light, and shot it towards Lingtian with overwhelming force. Wherever the light went, the space seemed to be pierced through.

The moment the two collided, the sky and the earth seemed to change color.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and there was only a deafening roar, like the collapse of the sky and the cracking of the earth. The huge energy impact spread wildly in all directions, like a doomsday storm.

Its power was so strong that it instantly created layers of waves that were tens of meters high and rushed towards the distance with the force of a tidal wave.

Under this powerful impact, Ling Tian's body involuntarily retreated. He tried his best to stabilize his body, but was still pushed back several meters. His feet slid rapidly on the sea surface, leaving two long traces and splashing a large amount of water.

But Kizaru was not so lucky. He was knocked away by Ling Tian's violent force. His speed was so fast that he was like a bright meteor across the sky and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

When the CP0 who brought Kizaru saw this scene, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide in horror. The expression on his face froze in an instant, full of shock and disbelief.

His lips trembled and he stammered, "This...how is this possible? Admiral Kizaru was actually knocked away?" His voice was full of panic and confusion, as if everything happening before his eyes was an unacceptable nightmare.

The others around CP0 also gasped in shock at this sudden turn of events. They looked at each other with panic written all over their faces, and began to talk among themselves.

"This guy's strength is so terrifying! It's beyond imagination!" One person's voice trembled, his eyes full of fear.

His body couldn't stop shaking, as if the fear had penetrated into his bones.

He stared at the place where Ling Tian was just now with eyes wide open, cold sweat dripping down his forehead like rain. "I have never seen such a powerful force. The energy that burst out in that instant seemed to be able to swallow up the entire world. What kind of existence is this? Is it the legendary demon?"

His lips trembled and his hands tightly grasped the arm of his companion beside him, as if only in this way could he find a sense of security.

"Is General Kizaru okay? What should we do?" Another man was worried, frowning. He anxiously searched for Kizaru's figure in the sky, rubbing his hands together. "General Kizaru is our hope. If something happens to him, what should we do? The result of this battle is completely beyond our expectations. How could it turn out like this?"

His heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness. He kept pacing on the spot, muttering to himself.

However, what they didn't know was that all this was part of Ling Tian and Huang Yuan's plan. They thought they had witnessed a thrilling life-and-death duel, but they didn't know it was just a carefully choreographed drama.

They were deceived by the appearances before them and fell into deep fear and worry, but they never thought about the truth hidden behind it.

A moment later, in the ruins in the distance, Kizaru slowly stood up from the ground. His clothes were tattered, his body was covered with dust and scars, and his steps were a little staggering. He pretended to be weak and said, "This guy, his strength is really unfathomable."

His voice sounded weak, as if he had just experienced a life-and-death battle and had exhausted all his strength. Huang Yuan raised his head and looked in the direction where Ling Tian left, with a hint of helplessness and awe in his eyes.

Ling Tian crossed his arms and said proudly, "Kizaru, you are lucky today. It won't be so easy next time."

After saying that, Ling Tian turned and flew away. His figure was like a flash of lightning, instantly disappearing from everyone's sight. Only the powerful aura remained in the air, making people's hearts palpitate.

The onlookers stared at the direction where Ling Tian disappeared, unable to come back to their senses for a long time. Their hearts were filled with shock and doubt, and they were full of confusion and fear about the future.

With the help of everyone, Kizaru slowly left the battlefield. His back seemed a little lonely, yet yet unpredictable.

"What on earth is going on? Why did it turn out like this?" someone muttered to himself with empty eyes, as if he was still immersed in the shocking scene that had just happened and couldn't extricate himself.

His voice echoed in the air, with a hint of doubt and confusion. People around him whispered to each other, but no one could give a definite answer.

"I don't know, maybe this is the world of the strong, we can never understand it." Another person shook his head helplessly, his face full of confusion. He looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and an inexplicable fear surged in his heart.

These dark clouds seemed to be attracted by some force and slowly gathered together, covering the originally clear sky completely.

The sunlight was blocked and the whole world became dark, as if it was also confused and uneasy about this bizarre battle.
