Chapter 800: The Red Lightning That Slashed Across the Sky (Part 2)
The Red Lightning carried infinite pressure.
Like a spear from the heavens, it pierced through the Sky and the Great Sea.
Time seemed to stand still as the giant cannonball was pierced by the Red Lightning.
Under a powerful external force, the giant cannonball was detonated prematurely before it could reach the Kronos Kingdom's warship.
Boom!
The cannonball exploded in mid-air, its blazing light incredibly dazzling.
The air was filled with the thick smell of gunpowder smoke.
Even the Great Sea was stirred up by the terrifying explosion, raising giant waves comparable to a tsunami.
Although the power of the explosion didn't directly hit the warship.
However, the terrifying impact force, like a terrifying air current swept in by a hurricane, carried a wave of heat that rushed towards the warship.
"Everyone be careful, stabilize yourselves as much as possible."
The leading Rear Admiral immediately assessed the impending disaster and issued commands to the other Soldiers.
The ship was filled with well-trained Soldiers.
On The Great Sea, in the bizarre environment of the New World, they had encountered both gales and giant waves.
However, they had too little time to react.
The entire warship was almost flipped ninety degrees; if not for the warship's good balance effect.
Even so, it caused significant damage to the warship.
Countless Soldiers on the ship were directly thrown off, their bodies falling one by one into The Great Sea.
This wasn't the end, because the giant waves arrived.
The great strength from nature was something they simply couldn't block.
Once the giant waves fell, the entire warship would be swallowed.
The Great Sea was surging, and the sea level had already begun to rise.
The danger was getting closer.
The shadow of the giant waves had already enveloped them.
It was precisely because of this that Hades was so furious.
Not only because Byrnndi World brainlessly launched an attack on his warship, but also because World was foolish.
Byrnndi World held back, Hades naturally knew, but he underestimated the power generated by his cannonball.
He hadn't considered the subsequent impact at all.
In the past, Byrnndi World always threw cannonballs directly at the enemy, destroying all their warships.
As for other matters, he didn't care.
Even now, even if the cannonball was aimed off-target, the resulting destructive power was still something this warship was unable to withstand.
Just as people were feeling utter despair, the terrifying giant waves split apart from the middle and were pushed aside by an invisible strength.
The Marines' warship passed perfectly through the middle of the divided giant waves.
The Red Lightning appeared again.
Like a long whip, it split the giant waves in two from top to bottom, a terrifying feat.
"We're saved!"
A light rain fell from the Sky.
Everyone on the warship breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the joy of escaping death.
The Red Lightning, however, did not disappear.
Instead, it hovered above the Sky, making people feel intense pressure.
The will contained within it emitted a strong warning.
The target was naturally the Byrnndi Pirates.
"It's the King, he made a move!"
The Red Lightning extended from the direction of the Kronos Kingdom.
Coupled with the powerful pressure it emitted, the leading Rear Admiral immediately guessed the identity of the person who made the move.
After all, the Generals of the Kingdom Army were all graduates of the Royal Military Academy.
Every year, Hades would visit the Royal Military Academy to check on the situation of the students there.
Not only were there warriors with considerable potential, but also talents in other industries, such as those with talent in research.
Hades knew that merely having strength was not enough.
The resources of the Great Sea were basically plundered through strength.
However, for the Kingdom to truly achieve stable development, various industries needed to advance together.
Within the Kronos Kingdom, over the years, Hades had been almost deified.
And at the Royal Military Academy, there was a good chance to see Hades.
Moreover, within the Kingdom, he couldn't imagine anyone other than the King possessing such strength.
Hearing the Rear Admiral's voice, the other Soldiers on the warship were incredibly excited.
"Quickly rescue the crewmates who fell into the water!"
Although the crisis was over, there were still many Crewmates who had fallen into the Great Sea.
They needed to rescue them as quickly as possible.
Although the giant waves had disappeared, the potential impact was not over.
The surging waves still posed a huge threat to individuals.
Although all the Navy Soldiers were elite and proficient swimmers, they weren't in significant life danger.
But if one were to accidentally drown, it would absolutely be a disgrace for them, the Marines.
The Kingdom's Military had not been without sacrifice during its expansion.
After all, they often encountered Pirates.
Most of them died in battle during fierce fighting with Pirates.
The number wasn't large, not even exceeding five hundred over so many years.
Meanwhile, the Byrnndi Pirates.
Were currently facing terrifying pressure, like the wrath of the heavens.
The Red Lightning intertwined above the Sky, forming an eye filled with authority.
This was Hades' eye, a special effect combining the use of Conqueror's Haki with the super-wide range of Observation Haki, "God's Eye View".
Although it had no practical role, it was full of authority and incredibly imposing.
"Hades!"
Byrnndi World looked up at the Sky and slowly uttered these three words.
The powerful Red Lightning also startled him.
With his discernment, he could naturally tell that this Red Lightning was a use of Conqueror's Haki.
He hadn't expected that besides Conqueror's Haki Infusion, Conqueror's Haki could be used like this.
The difficulty was high, but its practical role wasn't great.
But just now, it had produced astonishing effects, easily blocking his cannonball and even splitting the giant waves, pushing the destructive power of Conqueror's Haki to the extreme.
It was precisely because World understood the difficulty of achieving this degree that he was amazed; it was something he was unable to do.
Using Conqueror's Haki for precise strikes from dozens of kilometers away, and when the use of Conqueror's Haki reached its peak, one also needed to possess a wide range of Observation Haki.
"Let's drop this matter. I'm on my way. Stay here and wait for a while."
The air vibrated due to the Conqueror's Haki, simulating Hades' voice.
This used a technique similar to ventriloquism, and to outsiders, Hades' voice appeared out of thin air, echoing between heaven and earth.
"Just come, the Old Man is waiting for you."
Hearing Hades' voice, Byrnndi World also knew he had done wrong.
Since Hades wasn't pursuing the matter, it was completely over.
Of course, the most important thing was the strength that Hades exhibited.
Although he hadn't seen Hades with his own eyes yet, just through such means, Byrnndi World knew that Hades' strength had reached an extremely terrifying degree.
Since Hades was coming, he naturally didn't need to attack the small warship.
Attacking again would truly be a declaration of war.
Meanwhile, dozens of miles away.
Hades' blue veins bulged on his forehead.
Using such a move also incurred significant consumption for him, mainly in terms of mental effort.
After all, this was the first time he had attempted such a long distance.
The control over Conqueror's Haki, and using Conqueror's Haki to vibrate the air to talk to Byrnndi World.
The fine control required for this was almost at its peak.
Although he was extremely angry internally, his brain maintained clarity.
Those who achieve great things don't dwell on minor details.
He wouldn't forget Byrnndi World's provocation.
Because he didn't consider Byrnndi World to be on the same level as himself.
However, having a conflict with World now was unnecessary.
In his eyes, Byrnndi World was already a dead man, destined to die in battle.
One could be slightly more lenient towards a dead man.
In the face of the big picture, these minor matters could be temporarily ignored.
If World didn't die in the end, then fine, the Kronos Kingdom would also make a move and bury him completely in the Great Sea.
The karma of the future was already sown at this moment.
A person who was to be eliminated would have no ship to carry him in the future; when it was time to exit, he must exit.
The Moa Moa Fruit would also be recovered by the Kronos Kingdom.
This top-tier Devil Fruit was already the target of the Kronos Kingdom.
