Then after effectively cutting one whole arm off, Ian waited to see what will happen after taking a step back and moving a bit away to the back.
What he wanted to try from before, was to see if Kong can regenerate limbs fully as he can. That was the reason why he chopped off his arm.
But as he saw Kong as he was right now, still yelling hoarsely from the pain on his arm and reaching out for his wound, he was sorely disappointed.
Kong reached for the arm laying down on the ground, and reattached it to the wound, meanwhile looking wearily at Ian just in case he took advantage of him in his current state. It took him a few minutes but the arm was fully connected and working by then.
But Ian was not impressed even a bit from what he saw.
It appeared that although Kong had Regeneration, it was not as strong as Ian. Something obvious now that he thought about it deeply.
His regeneration was not normal rather it came from the mysterious energy in his body.
Ian was capable of re-growing limbs easily now if he wanted to. And not just for himself, he could also do it for other people if he so wanted to. But Kong apparently couldn't do so to the missing limb. He could only heal the injury by attaching the arm back and letting fuse back.
Glaring hatefully at Ian, Kong once again formed the hammer and shield, this time reinforcing them even more, as he thought that they would be strong enough now.
'I'll make them even stronger, that way, he won't have a chance now!' He thought to himself. After all, he was taught that the Diávoloi's abilities were unmatchable in this world.
And even though he had already witnessed what Ian did, he still thought that Ian was not beyond his level.
As such he charged at him intent on flattening him with one attack with his mighty hammer. His hammer, shield, and upper arms all covered in the black glow of Haki.
"I will destroy you!!" He yelled furiously. The humiliation he suffered, acted as the drive for his rage.
But who was he up against?
Ian casually sidestepped the downward swing of the hammer.
"You can try!" Ian chuckled as he heard him. He can indeed try, but he would never succeed.
The earth the giant hammer impacted however was not so lucky.
It was utterly destroyed, leaving a crater in the ground. Which was expected. Ian had chosen a barren island just for this case. And against someone with the size of Kong, it was obvious there would be huge aftereffects to their fight on the land.
Kong didn't stop, however, as he, this time created two spears of bone looking as menacing as hell and held them with his third and fourth arms. Then he coated them in Haki.
After which he charged at Ian again.
He started with a wide sideways swing with his hammer and as Ian dodged it again, easily at that, he would cover his midsection with his spiked shield trusting it blindly to be able to guard him, and then his two upper arms holding the spears would try to skewer Ian from above, to no avail.
Ian weaved through the spears, appearing as if he was barely dodging them when he was masterfully doing so and effortlessly dodging them all.
Kong kept getting frustrated and after a while, this resulted in him using a surprise attack of his that always worked, but still, was a double-edged sword as it hurt him too in the process.
He tried the same attack on Ian from before. And Ian was dodging and going for his own attack which was a casual punch, but just as Ian was near enough, Kong all of a sudden released all the bone spikes on his body, including the shield, towards Ian.
"Take that!" Kong yelled!
Ian who was mid-swing was a bit surprised at this, but apart from using a layer of telekinesis as a shield, he continued on with his punch.
What he was surprised about was that Kong was capable of releasing those spikes still imbued in Haki.
Still, Ian was a master of combat. Doing such actions instantaneously such as dodging or counterattacking was easy for him at this point. So not a lot of people can catch him off guard. Not to mention his future sight would kick in at that.
The menacing-looking spikes impacted Ian but they all shattered upon touching him. Dealing no damage whatsoever.
"Impossible…" Kong muttered to himself shocked.
Blood was dying the white hair of his body red.
Since this ability he used released the bones that were part of his body, it injured him in the process.
But it was well worth it as his attack had close to two hundred spikes, huge in size, each capable of injuring everyone they touched.
In fact, he thought that with this Ian would absolutely be dead.
There was no way he could survive this, so how did they shatter upon touching him?
Just as he was starting to think about running he was hit with Ian's punch.
Once again his shield, reinforced of course and covered in Haki, did nothing and shattered to small bone shards. And then his arm was broken again. And even as he used his two spears, Ian weaved through them as he retreated back.
But Kong did not care even one bit for this pain. Only one thought was going through his head.
It was known that Ian, was a master of the six marine skills, which to now he still didn't use, apart from shave. Next, he was known to be able to fly. And to use some invisible barrier to do many things, which he guessed was what had stopped his surprise attack.
And then the most dangerous thing in Kong's eyes. Spearmanship. Which until now Ian had still not even gotten his spear out to use. True he had used his sword, but it was not the weapon he was most adept at. When he thought back to Ian's performance with a spear, terror inflicted upon him. Before he made up his mind.
He tried to heal his broken arm as he withstood the pain, and then he made the shield again, but instead of Shielding himself with it, he instead threw it along with the hammer and the spears at Ian.
After which he abruptly bent his legs and jumped as high as he could and as far away from Ian as possible.
No way was he going to keep fighting with this guy, who casually dealt punches that were strong enough to break the arm of a giant animal known for his 'strength'. His full-powered jump had him hundreds of meters in the sky as he tried to run to the beach, where he could await a ship to come for him.
When he had transformed to his Diávoloi form, he knew that it would alert sovereign Im to his whereabouts and she would send reinforcement. And since this fight had been going on for a while now he knew that he was saved as long as he ran away.
But would Ian let him?
"I can't let you run away… You were the reason I grew up parentless in this world. I always wanted to experience that… as such I can't let you run away now!" Ian muttered to himself as he bent his legs.
Using his teleport ability Ian appeared in the sky just above the form of the massive ape.
He then cocked his right arm backward coated in Haki.
[Internal destruction]!
Before a purple glow started to surround the fist as Ian punched at the chest of the ape who was left gaping at him, having forgotten about Ian's ability to teleport.
"Since you want to run, I guess this brings the fight to an end. And since you robbed me of my parents, I would make sure that your body would find no resting place in this world!" Ian told him. He wanted this person to be erased from the world completely.
And then Kong's eyes widened until only the white was visible before he lost consciousness.
And then he abruptly and all of a sudden exploded from the inside out.
Scattering body parts everywhere from the sky in a shower of blood and gore.
Even having two hearts would not help a person from this. This was 'internal destruction'. A higher grade form of the advanced Haki technique 'Emission'.
Even after all this, Ian was still floating there. A relieved expression on his face.
He closed his eyes for a bit as he calmly floated there.
'Finally, it's done!' he thought to himself.
As he stood there, no drop of blood fell on him whatsoever.
After a while, he located Garp and Sengoku and teleported towards them.
"I'll bring you back!" He said.
They both just gave him nods. No talk was necessary.
They had seen enough to no longer pity Kong.
They were however somewhat happy for Ian, for avenging his parents.
Ian then took them towards the island they were staying on before.
Then he stayed standing there for a bit. Just looking at the sky in silent thoughts.
After a while of just standing there, Ian gave a sigh.
'I should go back now…'
And then he used his ability to travel back towards his room in Zou.
