Achieving Nothing, I Can Only Be the Pirate King-Chapter 556 - 329: Severing the Heavens

Dark clouds piled up, resembling a deep, heavy mass of cotton, continuing to contract inward, making the face that emerged from them gradually become clear.

No features to speak of, in the dark sky, a pair of crimson eyes opened, along with a gaping mouth radiating a red light.

The storm changed, and the raindrops, originally the size of beans, fell more urgently, as if trying to beat someone to death, suddenly fierce and violent.

The whirling gale made Sage’s blazing white flame hair fly wildly, even tugging at his facial skin.

Boom!

The thunder was stirred, coursing through most of the sky, as if brewing a thunderbolt that might be unleashed at any moment.

Compared to Zeus, an ordinary thundercloud, this seemed like a storm cloud; clearly the same concept, yet different under Charlotte Linlin’s soul transformation.

The more the thing in the sky took shape, the more dejected Zeus’s expression became.

He could also feel it, that thing was far stronger than himself...

Mom, are you going to abandon him?

"Mama mama mama, come on, you seem strong, bring me victory!"

Charlotte Linlin laughed heartily, the ghost face flame burning on her hair seemed to be breaking free from its shackles, obviously burning more fiercely.

Using this troublesome thing for myself means the trouble isn’t hers but that disaster brat’s.

She doesn’t know why every time thunder is used, thunder descends from the sky, but that’s not important anymore; gaining this power, using the storm’s force to properly handle Sage is enough.

"Come to life, Homiez!!"

Boom!

The thunder stirred above was louder than ever, making the human face in the sky materialize further. Just at the moment it was about to form, beneath the dark clouds, a figure glowing with blazing white light had already reached below the sky.

In the vast and immense sky, that figure was as small as a needle’s tip, very insignificant.

Yet the more insignificant, the more its emitted might couldn’t be underestimated.

At this sky height, and in stormy weather, the air was already in a chaotic state; even Sage couldn’t use Moon Step continuously at this height.

As he kicked off with one foot, the air visibly showed turbulence, causing him to kick into emptiness, his body about to plummet straight down.

"Rise for me!"

Bam!

Sage punched downward into the air, the impact of his fist blasting a ring of airwaves out in the air. With this wave, his body, driven by inertia, rose upward as well.

The dispersal of the airwaves also calmed the airflow, allowing Sage to once again kick off into the air, using Moon Step to reach further upward, touching the clouds above.

In the darkened sky, beneath the materialized crimson eyes and mouth, Sage, all charred black, emitted white smoke as his injuries healed; he let the cold wind blow through his hair, his face becoming exceedingly solemn.

Just the damage from that thunderbolt had already injured Sage significantly, and what’s coming now set off stronger warning signs in him.

Haki, of course, reigns supreme, but the power of nature is never to be underestimated; the two are not contradictory.

Charlotte Linlin mastered both, and both are not to be underestimated.

Just the damage from that thunderbolt was enough to be a problem for him.

The current might was clearly even greater.

It must not be allowed to fully form!

Breaking through the sky wasn’t hard.

Essentially, it was the use of Fire and Thunder Slash, a blend of Observation and Armament Haki, creating a special technique capable of striking elements.

But this doesn’t mean it’s a countermeasure; nothing, except nature itself, can counter nature, it’s all about neutralizing it.

Besides, using such a technique expends more effort than regular Haki, and often, it’s a thankless task.

Because elements are elements, a small area can be temporarily neutralized, but a large area simply can’t be; and with such means, you might as well directly attack the main body.

Like the thunderbolt released by Charlotte Linlin earlier, fast, powerful, and wide-ranged, couldn’t be completely neutralized, still absorbing the damage head-on.

Not to mention the element is released by others, while you attack the element, they can already get in your face for a combo.

However, Sage had mastered such a way.

Originally, he would eliminate the thundercloud capable of wielding thunder, then strike the flame on the old hag’s head, rendering her unable to use elements, but now he had to switch targets.

After Charlotte Linlin punched him down, Sage sensed something about to form and swiftly took action, directly kicking off into the sky.

If it fully formed, it would be completely troublesome!

Before that...

Crackle!

Sage’s fist transformed into a hand knife, continuously emanating sticky black flame, further entwined with black and red lightning.

"Let’s take you down first!"

The hand knife, trailing black and red lightning, plunged straight into the clouds.

"Vajra Continent Splitting Slash!!"

Boom!!

The entire sky, under this hand knife, scattered an enormous ring of clouds, destroying the dark clouds above like something crashed and ground down a whole piece of tofu, rapidly opening a large circle in the sky.

The Supreme King Haki itself has the power to change the weather, coiling and concentrating, combined with one’s own Haki’s unified eruption, wanting to open up the sky, of course it can be done!

The darkness scattered, the wind and rain ceased, the storm halted at this moment, leaving the surrounding wave-filled sea suddenly still.
