133 A Terrifying Devil Fruit Ability

Weevil stood tense, feeling as if he were facing his greatest nemesis. His instincts screamed that this sudden opponent was not to be underestimated—a foe stronger than any he had ever encountered.

"Whoosh..." A blur of movement, a burst of flames, and a fist as black as ink descended violently toward Weevil’s head.

"Bang!" Weevil glared, his left hand turning pitch-black, condensing a terrifying white energy as he met the blow head-on.

The impact was immense, shattering the ground beneath them. Xuanye remained expressionless, a torrent of flames erupting from his hand, driving downward.

"Flame Impact!"

"Shockwave!"

A stream of fiery air surged forward, while simultaneously, a cascade of white energy—like a waterfall—erupted from Weevil’s hand, rising to meet it.

"Crackle... Crackle..." The earth splintered, countless fissures spreading outward. With one force pushing up and the other pressing down, a suffocating atmospheric pressure enveloped the two. Thunder crackled in the sky, and within moments, the ground for a thousand meters around them collapsed into a crater.

"Roar!" Weevil’s face flushed red. With a flash of cold light, he swung his naginata toward Xuanye’s head.

"Bang!" The sound of clashing metal rang out like a battlefield. Xuanye bent his leg, his knee wreathed in boiling flames and condensed with high-level Haki, meeting the blunt side of the blade with brute force.

"Boom... Boom-rumble..." The world seemed to turn upside down, as if mountains were being moved and seas overturned. The scene was filled with such destructive energy that no one could draw near.

After a brief stalemate, Xuanye’s expression turned icy. He retracted his knee, spun his body, and brought his blackened right foot down in a vicious hook kick.

"Bang!" Weevil groaned, lifting his naginata to block, but his entire body was driven deep into the earth, looking utterly disheveled.

"Impact! Destruction!"

Driven by fury, Weevil defied human anatomy, lashing out with a kick aimed directly at Xuanye’s chin.

"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Xuanye countered with a stomp of his own, imbued with overwhelming power.

In an instant, two terrifying shockwaves collided, sweeping across the landscape like a tidal wave.

Hovering in the air, Xuanye felt a slight numbness in his right foot as he looked down at the panting Weevil. Weevil stood up, his expression grave. The simple-minded grin had vanished, replaced by an unprecedented vigilance. He knew this was the strongest enemy he had ever faced.

Floating above, Xuanye looked down with indifference. He raised a finger, and instantly, the sky ignited. A dense, overwhelming rain of mystical blades, spears, and swords made of fire descended vertically.

"Modified: Infinite Arrows."

With a flick of his finger, countless streaks of light plummeted. The shrill sound of them tearing through the air made Weevil’s hair stand on end.

Clutching his naginata, a white ripple emanated from Weevil’s body. He swelled with power, gritted his teeth, and roared as he swung his weapon with all his might.

"Boom!" Ripples distorted the air as the atmosphere in front of Weevil compressed, and a massive, visible white energy surge erupted from the ground.

"Impact! Atmospheric Pressure!"

"Boom... Boom-rumble..." The pressure exploded, creating a massive upward thrust in the sky that shattered all the falling attacks.

Xuanye narrowed his eyes, staring at the gasping Weevil with a hint of surprise.

"What kind of Devil Fruit is this?" Xuanye mused, hovering in the air, his body wreathed in flames. Combined with his sinister grace, he possessed a strange, lethal beauty.

"Hah... hah..." Breathing heavily, Weevil stood on the ground and shouted, "I am the Impact Human who ate the Impact Fruit! You will never defeat me!"

"Idiot. Why does everyone in this world announce their abilities during a fight?" Xuanye felt a sense of wordless frustration. He was truly tired of these fools.

"Modified: Super Fire God’s Spear."

He clasped his hands together, and endless flames swirled in the air. In a heartbeat, a giant spear ten thousand meters long took shape. Carrying the weight of the heavens, it tore through everything, glowing with golden-white runes as it descended like Mount Tai.

Even before it arrived, the intense wind pressure crushed the ground, and a storm of destruction began to ravage the surroundings.

Witnessing this apocalyptic scene, Miss Bakkin in the distance scrambled away, terrified by the sheer impact of the spectacle.

"Bang!" Weevil slammed his naginata into the earth. He squinted, staring up at the giant spear. He gripped his weapon with both hands, two terrifying white ripples appearing once more. He merged them, and as the air distorted, a massive white shockwave erupted from the ground.

In an instant, the heavens darkened. Weevil was sent flying, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Xuanye’s body trembled, a trickle of blood escaping the corner of his mouth. He turned, a black, barbed spear manifesting in his right hand. He hurled it through the atmosphere toward Weevil.

"God-Slaying Spear!"

"Whoosh..." A deafening friction sound accompanied the streak of light as it flashed toward its target.

"Clang!" With a piercing collision, the spear grazed Weevil’s shoulder, drawing blood and sending him tumbling away once more.

"Speed: Flash."

High in the air, a series of explosions erupted under Xuanye’s feet. Countless flames burst forth, and Xuanye’s figure vanished. The world was filled with the sound of continuous detonations, but his form was nowhere to be seen—not even to Observation Haki.

Weevil’s hair stood on end. Despite his vigilance, his mind could not keep pace with the rhythm.

"Pfft..." Weevil doubled over, his pupils dilating as he spat blood. A heart-wrenching pain tore through his entire body.

Mouth stained with blood, Weevil roared in fury, swinging his naginata with a mix of supreme Haki and impact force.

"Flame Blade!"

"Bang!" Xuanye vanished again, striking Weevil’s back and sending him spiraling through the air.

"Piercing Ray." Xuanye clasped his hands, and a triangular beam of fire struck in the blink of an eye.

"Pfft..." Blood sprayed as Weevil desperately tried to block, but the beam pierced his left chest, sending him crashing into the rubble.

Explosions sounded in the air again as a giant foot crushed down from above. Weevil rolled away in a panic, blown back by the shockwave.

The ground shattered. In the crater, Xuanye appeared once more, this time directly behind Weevil. A barbed spear formed in his hand, gathering terrifying power as it thrust toward Weevil’s back.

"Impact Defense!" Weevil cried out, disheveled, as white ripples surged over his entire body.

"Bang!" The violent impact left the two in a stalemate.

"I wonder how many of my attacks you can endure." Xuanye’s eyes grew cold. A trickle of blood hung from his lip, and his breathing was ragged. Today, these two would surely die.

He spread his arms, a wisp of flame rapidly expanding. He took a step forward, and the very earth turned over.

"Underworld Flame: Bloom."

"Hum... hum..." The atmosphere rippled. A golden-white pillar of fire, two meters in diameter, tore across the earth, pulverizing everything in its path as it surged toward Weevil.

"Ah... Impact Overload!"

Weevil roared, his right arm swelling until the veins bulged hideously. A terrifying shockwave distorted the space around him.

Space shimmered, and the two monstrous powers collided. In that moment, the atmosphere shattered, and a black mushroom cloud rose into the sky.
