Entangling Conqueror’s Haki

Chapter 165: Entangling Conqueror's Haki

Seeing that the situation was taking a turn for the worse, Shiki had no choice but to use all his strength to slash downward with both feet at the same time and increase the power of Oto and Kogarashi to the maximum.

Call Out!

The swords sliced ​​through the air and created a buzzing sound. Two giant sword energy fell downward. Seeing this, Solo was still unhurried, holding Ryūjin Jakka with one hand. Although the Zanpakutō looks mediocre in the sealed state, after completing the initial shikai, its power will be increased a hundredfold.

Not to mention Shiki, who has been immersed for decades, Roger in his prime or even Whitebeard. Solo is not afraid of the weapons in their hands.

Call Out!

Solo swung his hand, and the imposing sword energy rushed to the sky with the flames. It forcibly collided with the giant sword energy of Shiki.

Boom!

The collision created a thunderous noise and could not be calm for a long time. In less than half a minute, Solo's sword energy tore through the Shiki's attack and continued upward, chasing Shiki in the sky.

Seeing Solo's sword energy attack, Shiki was furious and startled. But the remaining sanity kept him awake. If Solo's attack hits him, the consequences are not a joke. At the critical moment, Shiki's body moved to the right, barely passing Solo's sword energy.

Whoosh!

However, his beard could have been luckier. The sword energy directly passing through his beard was split into two and slowly fell. Such an astonishing scene left Shiki stunned.

"How is this possible?!" 

Shiki immediately felt a heat wave coming, and his heart was extremely shocked. Today's terrifying attack, as well as the exquisite control over devil fruit abilities suddenly appearing on a marine with an Ensign rank overturned Shiki's cognition. 

"Damn it!" 

Shiki clenched his fists and clenched his teeth. At this moment, he had no choice but to release his haki, covering his whole body to strengthen his defence and to resist the sword energy swung by Solo. Solo below also captures this picture. 

"Sure enough, Shiki can use haki," Solo muttered to himself. 

He felt that if he is ranked as a strong man of the same era as Roger and Whitebeard, then how could it be possible that couldn't even use haki? Sure enough, it was because when "One Piece Film: Strong World" was released, the concept of haki was not fully developed. Not just the film version, the same should be true of the Summit War. 

But, even if Shiki really masters top-level Armament Haki, the final result will not change in any way. Solo was determined in his heart. He stomped hard on his toes— 

Boom! 

In an instant, a deafening sound was created, the land under Solo's feet collapsed, and a huge crater was squeezed out by the shock wave. Solo, with the help of the explosive power, soared into the sky as he went straight to Shiki.

"Geppo!"

In the next second, Solo approached Shiki step by step, like walking on the ground in the air.

"This is, Rokushiki?" Seeing this, Shiki gasped again.

Originally, the biggest advantage of Float Float Fruit was to let Shiki get rid of the influence of gravity so as to gain the ability to fly and ignore most of the attack methods on the ground. Seeing Solo use Rokushiki Geppo, his greatest advantage will be gone.

"You brat!"

Until this moment, Shiki fully realised that he underestimated the marine in front of him. However, things have come to this point, and Shiki also understood in his heart.

'I have no way out.'

He has to get rid of Solo. Or... In this sea, there will be no more pirates called Shiki the Golden Lion. Shiki displayed top-level Armament Haki. This time, Shiki not only did not increase the distance between him and Solo, on the contrary he swooped down towards Solo like a falcon.

In the moment of victory or defeat, Shiki didn't flinch in the slightest. His own plan to destroy East Blue starts with destroying this marine!

"You don't want to run away?" Solo stared slightly at the swooping Shiki.

'That's good, too, lest I go after him again.'

Solo controlled the power of Ryūjin Jakka, absorbed all the flames released by the sword, and sealed it back into his blade. Solo did not seal the power of the sword but concentrated its power before swinging it. The two collided together.

It was just a heat wave soaring into the sky, which made Shiki feel extremely uncomfortable. The high temperature even scalded his skin in an instant. Pain penetrated into his flesh and blood.

 If it weren't for his Armament Haki covering his whole body, Shiki's skin would have been directly cooked the moment they collided.

"Why does this marine brat have such powerful strength..."

Shiki clenched his teeth, feeling incredible in his heart. Even so, Shiki still raised the corners of his mouth and showed a smile. In his hand, there is still a hole card hidden, avery important card.

To be precise, only those who can truly master the power can be regarded as the top powerhouses in this sea—Conqueror's Haki!

Shiki clenched its fists with both hands, releasing his power without reservation. A black aura swept out in all directions, and thunder and lightning that was visible to the naked eye rumbled even more. A terrifying sense of oppression crushed Solo overwhelmingly.

"Brat, your swordsmanship and control over devil fruit abilities are perfect. You have also mastered Rokushiki and Observation Haki. At this age, you are indeed a monster. But... the gap between you and me already exists, and that is this power!"

Shiki roared loudly, thinking that his Conqueror's Haki would undoubtedly win. In fact, Shiki is not just simply releasing Conqueror's Haki; he inhaled forcefully, and instantly took back all the haki released, and condensed it on Kogarashi

"Marine brat, you didn't expect that even Conqueror's Haki can be used like Armament Haki!" 

Shiki mouthed again, full of complacency, and had no intention of covering it up. But who knew? There was still no trace of shock on Solo's face. It was as if all of this had long been familiar to him.

"It's just haki," Solo said in a low voice, and he simply burst out his own Conqueror's Haki.
