Chapter 69: Come! Let's fight!
On July 1, 1492 of the Haiyuan Calendar, the day of the battle, just as the meteorologists had predicted, a massive sea storm swept across the area.
The sky was covered by thick, dark clouds, as if plunging the sea into eternal night.
The wind howled, and the waves that were whipped up were at least tens of meters high, crashing against the rocks and the shore.
The rain poured down, with dense raindrops the size of thumb pounding on the sea and the deck, filling the world with deafening noise.
Lightning relentlessly crisscrossed the clouds, tearing the sky apart time and again, with fleeting, pale flashes of light endlessly relaying their course, illuminating the deep, dark surface of the sea.
The Golden Dawn heaved violently in the waves, but its hull remained stable, and the gold coating on its surface shimmered with a cold luster under the lightning.
Oro stood at the bow of the ship, letting the rain soak his clothes. His golden eyes gleamed with a molten gold light that pierced through the thick rain curtain and swept sharply across the turbulent sea.
Lingling and Gails stood behind him. Lingling's face was full of excitement; the terrible weather only made her more energetic.
Gals frowned slightly, concerned about the potential impact of the weather on the battle.
Just as another bolt of lightning, hundreds of meters long, struck down, illuminating the sea, a distinctive ship's prow vaguely appeared amidst the churning waves—a massive, exaggeratedly shaped whale head.
"They're here."
Oro whispered.
The whale-headed pirate ship, much smaller than the Golden Dawn, cleaved through the waves and storm, steadily approaching.
On the whale's head, a tall figure stood firm, unmoved by wind and rain.
He has striking blond hair just like Oro, and his crescent-shaped, upward-curving white beard adds to his distinctive look.
He was shirtless, his muscles bulging, and he held a huge naginata in his hand.
It was Edward Newgate.
The two ships gradually approached each other amidst the raging storm until they could clearly see the details on the other ship.
"Gurara la la!"
Newgate let out his signature loud laugh, the sound even drowning out the wind and rain: "Auro! I thought you and your ten tons of gold had been washed away by this downpour!"
A broad smile spread across Oro's face. He took a step forward, his voice, amplified by his domineering aura, carrying clearly across the surrounding sea: "Ha! Newgate! Worry about yourself!"
"I will return laden with gold, and with you! And your pirate crew!"
Without any unnecessary pleasantries, old friends reunited, and their surging fighting spirit overcame all the harsh conditions.
Both of them saw undisguised fighting spirit and absolute confidence in their own abilities in each other's eyes!
"Stop talking big, kid!"
"Let me see how much you've improved over the years!"
"I went out of my way to find a really good Devil Fruit for today!"
"Gurara la la! Come on!"
Newgate laughed loudly and swung his knife forward sharply.
As Newgate swung his knife, a terrifying force crackling with dark red lightning erupted outwards from him.
He started with a full-force attack combining the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and Conqueror's Haki!
The air in front of Newgate instantly exploded with spiderweb-like cracks, accompanied by a teeth-grinding cracking sound.
The massive shockwave from the airquake unleashed a tsunami as large as mountains, hurtling towards the Golden Dawn!
This strike rips the sea apart and shakes the sky; this is the power that will shatter the world in the future!
"Hahaha! War!"
Oro was not intimidated at all, facing this overwhelming power head-on, and took a step forward!
An overwhelming aura of dominance soared into the sky, and dark red arcs of electricity even shattered the lightning that filled the sky in an instant!
The next second, a large amount of gold gushed out from the hull of the Golden Dawn, carrying Oro high into the air.
In the blink of an eye, a golden giant nearly a thousand meters tall rose from the ground!
Suspended above the raging waves! Standing amidst the storm!
Like a god standing tall and upright in mythology!
Oro's past five years haven't been wasted!
The golden giant swung his enormous golden fist, crackling with dark red lightning, and fiercely met the oncoming air shock and tsunami.
"boom-!!!"
The golden giant fist collided violently with the shockwave tsunami, producing a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth.
The aftershocks spread out in a ring, instantly clearing away the rainwater within a radius of several kilometers!
The sea surface below was pressed into a huge crater.
The golden colossus's fist developed fine cracks from the violent tremors, but it quickly repaired itself.
It perfectly blocked this earth-shattering, sea-crushing blow.
"Gurarara! Not bad, kid!"
Newgate's eyes flashed with admiration, but his hands did not stop moving in the slightest.
He brandished his sword and launched another attack, this time with a barrage of air-shaking projectiles, countless invisible shells enveloping the golden giant.
With a thought, a long-handled golden axe appeared in the giant's hand!
The golden giant held his axe horizontally, twisted his body to raise it and gather strength, then gently chopped down from the upper right!
It was as if the world had been created!
"Bang bang bang bang!!!"
The air exploded instantly!
Airborne grenades exploded in a dense barrage!
It shattered the thick curtain of rain!
A whitewashing attack? He can do that too!
As Oro merged with the golden giant, a portion of his gold separated from his back and transformed into countless golden flying swords that swarmed down from the sky!
"Well done!"
Newgate's naginata swept across, sending a large number of golden flying swords flying.
He leaped high from the bow of the ship, his naginata wreathed with solidified Conqueror's Haki, and clashed fiercely with the giant's golden battle axe!
"Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing pierced through the wind and rain!
The clash of Conqueror's Haki once again unleashed a massive wave.
The two overlords fought fiercely in this massive storm.
Lingling and Gale watched with great interest from the Golden Dawn, shouting encouragement for Oro, without any concern about being affected.
Even if the ship sinks, Gale can immediately create cloud-shaped bouncy cakes that can fly long distances.
Lingling, on the other hand, can swim back to Gaya Island.
However, the crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates were not as leisurely as Linlin and Gals.
The sky was filled with dazzling dark red lightning. Their captain wasn't afraid; he was excited and the fight was evenly matched. But the crew was afraid!
The current crew of the Whitebeard Pirates are far inferior in quality to those who will follow.
If the two ships were to actually fight now, let alone Lingling, these people would have a very hard time escaping from Gails's clutches.
The battle continues amidst the storm.
The gold atoms that make up the Golden Giant are subjected to high-speed friction under the control of Oro, coupled with continuous combat collisions.
The golden giant's body temperature was rising rapidly, and its entire body was slowly turning dark red from the high temperature.
A thought struck Oro, and he channeled some of his domineering aura into the golden flying sword, which was also gradually heating up, with remarkable results.
The golden flying sword traced a crimson path through the air, and even produced a small explosion upon hitting its target.
The golden battle axe in the giant's hand shone even brighter and brighter during the high-speed confrontation with the sword, radiating an astonishingly high temperature.
Gradually, the gold that was flowing, rotating, and colliding at high speed began to emit increasingly intense light and heat.
They changed from dark red to bright red, and then to orange-yellow —
Finally, when Oro pushed his power to a certain critical point, a small portion of the gold in the core collision zone suddenly burst forth with a brightness as intense as the sun!
The light was so intense that it overwhelmed the sky, turning the rolling dark clouds and the surging sea into a white-gold hue.
The rainwater within a hundred meters instantly vaporized, forming a vast expanse of white steam.
Using the recoil to propel himself forward, Newgate swung his sword backhand, deflecting over a dozen scorching flying swords that came from all directions. Feeling the heat wave rushing towards him, and looking at the golden heart on the chest of the golden giant, which was getting hotter and brighter, he exclaimed in amazement: "Gurararar! This kid! He's really been busy these past few years!"
"They actually developed their Devil Fruit abilities to this extent?!"
The battle reached its climax.
With his ultimate Golden Domination combined with three types of Haki, Aurora was able to suppress Newgate, who possessed the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and Haki, and could only passively counterattack.
Storms, tsunamis, golden light, shockwaves, high temperatures, steam—all of these combine to create a monstrous, apocalyptic spectacle.
However, neither Oro nor Newgate anticipated this.
The intense light and heat of this gold penetrated the ocean thousands of meters deep, attracting an ancient being that slumbered in the deep sea.
Just as Oro was gathering his strength again, preparing to launch another fierce attack, and Newgate was also getting into position and ready for battle—
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A tremendous roar resounded between the sky and the sea!
A ray of light, even larger than a golden giant, burst forth from beneath the dark, deep sea!
