Lightning pillars with hundreds of millions of volts continuously bombarded the earth. The extremely high heat carried by lightning melted the soil and turned the ground into a molten state.
Small electric arcs flickered on the surface, and Eric extracted a large amount of iron sand from it, which gathered in the air to form countless fine iron sand grains.
"...!" Shanks looked at the dense iron sand floating in the air, and his expression became solemn.
Eric smiled: "These iron sand particles look very small, but they still hurt when they hit people."
"Maybe it will leave a lot of wounds on you."
"Bilibili"
The harsh electric sound sounded again, and the black iron sand gradually turned into a high-temperature orange-red color. Heat waves filled the air. The air rose due to the increase in temperature. The changes in air density caused the scene in the field of vision to become distorted.
"I also raised some temperatures..." Eric was about to activate the electromagnetic field, drive these countless iron sands, and shoot them all towards the red-haired pirates.
Shanks suddenly rushed in front of Eric, and a bright sword suddenly slashed toward Eric's neck.
"With this move, did you see my future actions..." Eric raised his gun to stop Shanks' slash.
"..." Shanks's eyes were filled with red light, and it was obvious that he had been activating his Haki.
'I can't see his future clearly, but he can see my future...' Eric's face darkened. This is definitely a very terrifying ability in a duel between top players.
As a result, every move he makes will be predicted by him in advance, but he cannot predict his actions.
This feeling of being one step behind in everything made Eric very uncomfortable.
"Do you think that sealing my hands can prevent me from attacking?" Eric suddenly said.
"!" Shanks opened his eyes suddenly and shouted loudly without looking back: "All members, immediately find the nearest obstacle to hide!"
The members of the red-haired pirate group who were retreating immediately jumped towards the trees, rocks and other obstacles closest to them.
"Swish swish——"
A sharp whistling sound suddenly sounded in the air, like endless bullets being fired.
The orange-red iron sand accelerated beyond the speed of sound in an instant, stirring up a small sonic boom cloud. The iron sand particles held up the semi-circular air shield and shot towards the red-haired pirates like a gust of wind.
"Chi chi chi"
The iron sand particles flying at three times the speed of sound easily penetrated tree trunks and shattered rocks. The red-haired pirates hiding behind were not spared. The hot iron sand particles broke through the armed defenses and broke through the barriers of flesh and blood. Penetrating into the body.
"Ugh——!"
"Ahhhh——!"
The shrill screams came out immediately.
There were also some members of the red-haired pirate group who were slightly luckier and had deep pits and large rocks nearby, and escaped the fate of being injured.
Even if the officers of the red-haired pirate group were seriously injured, most of them relied on their exquisite knowledge-color Haki and strong armed-color Haki to avoid or resist this rain-like attack.
When the sharp whistle of "swish, swish, swish" disappeared, everyone in hiding trembled and cautiously poked their heads out, carefully observing the situation outside.
"W-What is this!?"
Only the surface of the ground, tree trunks, and rocks were inlaid with dense holes.
On the edge of the pit, there are traces of scorch caused by high-temperature burning. In the innermost part of the pit, there is a small black sphere, which is sending out curls of white smoke.
Blood dripped down drop by drop along the corners of his clothes. Shanks had been unfortunately hit by iron sand in the large-scale attack just now. The circular hole in his clothes proved this.
Just now, when Eric was driving the iron sand to attack, he also aimed at himself and Shanks.
Relying on the characteristic of the natural system that ignores physical attacks, the iron sand shot in from behind Eric and shot out in front of him, all of them hitting Shanks who was very close at hand.
However, Shanks, who was made of flesh and blood, could not ignore these attacks. He kicked off the ground with his legs and quickly distanced himself.
Eric, of course, couldn't let Shanks have his way, so he immediately followed up with a flash, locking Shanks with a gun blade that swallowed purple flames.
Shanks turned around to block, and while deflecting the magic gun, he kept moving his feet and twisted to dodge the iron sand blasting towards him.
The old enemy of the world's greatest swordsman, with his excellent steps and sword skills, he only suffered two shots of iron sand under the airtight attack.
"Huh..." Shanks ignored the new wounds on his body, took a breath, and immediately performed his duties as a captain:
"Everyone - return to the Red Foss immediately!"
Upon hearing Shanks' order, the surviving members of the red-haired pirates carried the injured on their backs and immediately accelerated towards the Red Voss.
At the same time, arrows with arrows flashing with cold light struck continuously from the rear, shooting at the backs of the red-haired pirates.
Jesus cloth's fingers kept pulling the trigger one after another, using sniper fire to stop Chiron's fatal shot.
But there were still a few arrows that leaked through the defensive net woven by the Jesus cloth. Several running members of the red-haired pirates stopped with their feet and only continued to charge forward with their center of gravity, pushing their bodies to the ground and inserting them into The arrow shaft on the back is shaking slightly.
"Damn it——!" Jesus clasped his lower lip with his teeth, biting out blood without knowing it. His remaining right eye glared fiercely at Chiron's position.
"Don't get excited." Ben Beckman warned: "Once you get emotional, you won't be able to exert your dominance, which will lead to more mistakes."
"I understand." Jesus took a deep breath, his chest rose and fell, and his eyes rekindled fighting spirit.
Chiron took out an arrow from the quiver with his right hand, put the arrow tail on the bow string, and leaned the arrow shaft against the arrow rest: "Have you not lost your fighting spirit yet..."
"Very good, this is a qualified warrior."
As soon as the finger is loosened, the elastic potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, driving the arrow to fly far away.
"ah--!"
In the retreating team, there were occasionally one or two slightly urgent screams.
During the escape, members of the red-haired pirates continued to fall and break away from the main force. The group of fighters pursued their targets relentlessly.
"...You run first!" A member of the red-haired pirate group spontaneously left the team.
The members who were still running turned around and shouted: "What the hell are you doing!? Come back!"
"When I deal with these guys, I will catch up with you!" He shouted without looking back, and rushed towards the group of combatants.
"...!!" The member of the red-haired pirate group who kept walking knew what this meant. He was sacrificing himself to let his companions escape from here.
"...I'll go help him!"
In just two or three seconds, several more members broke away from the team and faced the pursuing combatants together with the first member.
"Damn-!"
The eyes of the escaped red-haired pirate group members were filled with tears, blurring the scene in front of them.
"Kakaka"
The iron sand particles blasted into the ground, rocks, and soil broke away from the constraints of gravity and floated up again. When everyone saw this scene, they knew that the rain-like attack was about to come again, and they immediately accelerated their pace.
Ben Beckman raised the flintlock rifle he got from his teammates, aimed it at Eric, and pulled the trigger.
The weapon-colored lead bullets drove back the pursuing Eric, and Shanks took the opportunity to slash out.
An invisible slashing wave broke through the air and struck Eric.
"clang"
Eric raised his gun and knocked the slashing wave away. The slash that was forced to change direction fell towards the woods, cutting off countless trees.
Shanks put his right foot on the ground, and his figure was as fast as thunder. He came to Eric in the blink of an eye, wrapped Griffin in the black and red arc, and tried his best to slash at Eric.
While Eric raised his gun to block the knife, he opened his mouth, and a blazing red fire lit up in his mouth.
Ben Beckman on the Red Foss immediately launched a rescue shot.
Eric was forced to change the target of attack, and the dragon's breath of flames blasted towards the Red Voss.
The bullet held against the dragon's breath for a moment, and finally turned into ashes under the high heat. The pillar of fire carried an all-consuming power and was about to burn the Red Forth into ruins.
At this time, the overlord-like domineering energy in Shanks' body spurted out like a vast river: "Don't take action against my companions——!"
The rich overlord-colored domineering energy solidified into a dark thunder, striking at Eric who was very close at hand.
"Ha!" Eric sneered, closed his mouth, and the hot breath that lost its driving force dissipated in mid-air. The overlord-colored domineering energy in his body also burst out immediately, and the two strands of substantive domineering energy collided together.
Where the overlord's color and domineering energy meet, the space vibrates and the atmosphere is distorted. The two people compete for their domineering energy, and no one wants to let it go.
Finally, it exploded violently, and the aftermath of the impact spread out in all directions like a stormy wave.
Some personnel were frothing at the mouth and passed out. The nearby companions immediately picked up their arms and ran with their unconscious companions on their backs.
"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!" The urging voices echoed as the retreating members of the red-haired pirates finally boarded the Red Foss.
"La. Kiru, Mengshida, Benke Punch, De Ge, they haven't come back yet!"
"Have even the cadres been killed in battle..."
"Shut up!" A member of the red-haired pirate group grabbed the person who was speaking by the collar, tears overflowed from his eyes, and a clear snot dripped from his nose: "Don't talk nonsense——!"
"The cadres will not fall!!"
Ben Beckman exhaled a puff of smoke and put his left hand on his shoulder: "Calm down."
"But, but -!" The member turned his head with difficulty and replied intermittently with a painful look on his face.
"They're not dead yet." Jesus Bu felt the auras of the four people, tilted his head, and motioned for him to look in that direction: "Look, they are back."
In the messy woods, first a brown-haired monkey swung out, and then Benk Punch, carrying the round body of La Kiru on his back.
It was obvious that Mengshida thoughtfully gave up his seat for the seriously injured La Chilu.
Dege, who was at the rear of the team, kept cutting down trees along the road to block the explosive clay that was jumping behind him. He fled back in embarrassment amidst a series of explosions and soaring flames.
Not far behind De Ge, a giant white bird was not far behind, and white birds or other insects were constantly being thrown out by Deidara.
"Very good! Everyone is here..." Someone was about to speak, but his voice slowly stopped. Almost all of the companions in front of him were injured, and even half of the familiar faces were missing. His nose was sore, and tears flowed down unsatisfactorily.
"Don't relax!" Ben Beckman's voice spread throughout the sailboat: "The battle is not over yet! The war is far from over!"
"Staying alive is the best reward for your companions!"
Many members of the red-haired pirate group who secretly shed tears immediately raised their hands to wipe away their tears, with the fire of survival igniting in their eyes.
"Very good!" Ben Beckman took over the command: "Retract the anchor and lower the sail!"
"What should the leader do..."
"Shanks will take care of himself!" Ben Beckman continued to command: "The sailors will control the sailboat, and the combat members will fire artillery and bullets here to support Shanks!"
"yes!"
Ben Beckman was like a calming needle, delivering orders one by one in an orderly manner, allowing the panicked members to calm down and get busy with their jobs.
After completing his command work, Ben Beckman leaned over and asked: "How is La Chilu's injury?"
"It's not good..." As soon as De Ge touched La·Jilu, the black and crispy things on La·Jilu fell down with a "splat".
Ben Beckman, who had always been steady, bit off the cigarette butt. He kept smoking from his mouth during the battle, but he actually forgot to light a new cigarette.
"Fortunately..." De Ge checked it carefully and quickly and said, "Fortunately, La Jilu's fat is thicker, otherwise..."
Ben Beckman's stern expression recovered.
The sails were inflated, and the Red Forth, blown by the wind, gradually left the coast and sailed into the distance.
"Want to run away!?" Eric's eyes narrowed, and iron sand particles floated in the air, all of which were shot towards the Red Foss.
There was a dense "whooshing" sound in the air, and the rapid strings that penetrated the space and compressed the air made the crew of the Red Foss nervous.
"No! Sail!" Ben Beckman became nervous.
Gabu opened his mouth, and light gathered in his mouth: "Roaring impact!"
"Bang bang bang"
A large number of iron sand grains, like bullets, fell on the side and deck of the wooden ship, causing intensive beating sounds.
A lot of iron sand grains were turned into powder by Gabu's roaring attack, and a lot of iron sand grains penetrated the snow-white sail. The round sail surface immediately deflated, and half of the power relied on the wind was lost.
Shanks approached, and a black-red lightning arc flashed from the Griffin blade, slashing towards Eric.
The gun blade that sparked the black thunder collided with Griffin in the air, bursting out countless dark red thunder arcs.
"Your knife also contains iron, right?" Ring lightning flashed in Eric's hand, and a force was generated out of thin air, causing the Griffin in Shanks' hand to tilt.
"This is——!?" Shanks was startled, his eyes flashing red.
Eric thrust his gun straight, and the shot passed by the crooked Griffin as fast as a stream of light, heading straight for the red-haired man. However, Shanks detected it in advance and made an evasive action in advance. But the gun speed was too fast, and it still stabbed Shanks in the side, tearing open a gash that spurted blood.
Shanks endured the pain and kicked out, and the flip-flop flew towards Eric's head.
When Eric turned his head to dodge, Shanks' figure had disappeared.
"Are you back on the Red Foss?" Eric was about to pursue the pursuit, but he sensed that Ajin was in danger under Nakahara Chuuya's crazy attack.
"——Ten Thousand Thunders!" Not wanting to let the red-haired pirates go just like that, Eric raised his arms, and countless silvery-white lightnings were emitted from the clouds. Branch-like cracks tore through the darkness, and all of them were blasted towards the sea. The sailing Red Foss.
The entire ship was constantly floating under the roar of the God of Thunder, lightning and thunder, and it was possible to capsize at any time.
Eric did not continue to pay attention to his masterpiece, and flashed to Ajin's side. Zhongyuan Zhongya also waved the gravity ball and hit it.
