One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Chapter 700: The Troublesome Undying Body!

In a short while.

The demonized Im's wounds contracted rapidly.

Eventually, it was slowly restored to its original state.

At this moment, within Chen Ye's Observation Haki perception...

Im's aura did not weaken in the slightest despite the injury he had just sustained.

The suppressed dark power only grew stronger.

"What a troublesome guy."

Chenye's Rant.

Leviathan's massive body trembled.

Those huge, blood-red eyes locked onto Chen Ye.

For Im.

Chen Ye is more of a threat than Luffy.

Raise your right front paw.

He rushed straight at Chen Ye's face.

They saw the giant claws that were about to reach them.

Chen Ye showed no sign of backing down!

Cross your arms across your chest.

The forces of darkness and light erupted simultaneously.

It instantly formed a solid barrier.

The giant claw slammed down.

A dull rumble echoed throughout Elbaf.

An immense and unparalleled impact poured down from above.

Chen Ye's body was slammed to the ground by this brute force.

Boom!

The entire earth shook violently.

The ground beneath Chen Ye's feet collapsed, creating a deep pit several meters wide.

The dark golden energy aftershocks from Im's attack exploded.

The detached black scales shot out indiscriminately and irregularly in all directions!

Whitebeard gripped the Murakumo-giri tightly.

He suddenly swung his sword into the void.

A terrifying shockwave swept out.

The black scales that rushed towards them were all shattered into powder.

On the other side.

Lox's eyes were extremely solemn.

"That's a battle we can't get involved in."

Lox gritted his teeth and growled.

Whitebeard sheathed his sword half an inch from its sheath.

He responded in a deep voice.

"We can only hold this place."

"Approaching rashly will only cause trouble for Chen Ye."

In the deep pit.

Chen Ye stomped on the ground.

Using the immense inertia of the giant claw pressing down.

He rolled sideways at lightning speed.

The soles of the shoes rubbed against the ice, producing a piercing, sharp sound.

Chen Ye charged upwards along the giant beast's thick right arm.

The speed is extremely fast.

A trail of golden-black afterimages stretched across the sky.

Within a few steps.

He rushed to Leviathan's shoulder.

Chen Ye clasped his hands together.

The crimson-gold flames of the sun god were rapidly compressed in his palm.

It begins to coalesce.

It transformed into three short spears, each about a foot long.

The surface of the short spear pulsed with dazzling platinum light.

"go!"

He swung his arm and threw the short spear with all his might.

puff!puff!puff!

The short spear pierced Leviathan's neck with pinpoint accuracy.

Chest.

And below the left eye.

The raging divine flames poured into the giant beast's body through the cracks in its scales.

The intense heat caused the dark gold patterns to twist violently.

A piercing hiss erupted from the beast's mouth.

Leviathan's massive head suddenly twisted.

The enormous mouth, filled with fangs, carried an endless stench.

It bit down hard on Chen Ye's shoulder.

Chen Ye's eyes were as cold as ice.

He made a grabbing motion in the air with his left hand.

Several jet-black chains of dark energy flew out out of thin air.

The chains coiled around Leviathan's jaws like serpents.

Chen Ye tapped his toes hard on the giant beast's shoulder.

Using the immense tension transmitted through the chains.

His body grew dozens of feet taller.

They narrowly escaped the range of the giant bite.

Click!

The Leviathan's massive maw slammed shut in mid-air.

The air blast generated by the collision of the upper and lower jaws dispersed the surrounding clouds.

The first shot missed.

Leviathan’s massive bony fins on its back thrashed about.

The cloud layer and ice dust within a range of hundreds of feet were sliced ​​apart by the bone fin.

A black, deathly fault line appeared between heaven and earth.

Faced with this devastating blow.

Chen Ye did not choose to escape.

Shake the chain with your backhand.

A black chain precisely wrapped around a huge bony fin.

Chen Ye unleashed his full divine power.

The golden and black light flowed wildly across the surface of the muscles.

With a frail human body.

He forcefully pulled the ancient behemoth that weighed tens of thousands of kilograms.

Leviathan's massive body briefly deflected in mid-air.

Taking advantage of this momentary opening.

Chen Ye leaped through the air and charged toward Leviathan's throat.

Bring your right fist to your waist.

Crimson gold divine flames and dark chains were wrapped around the fist.

"Open it!"

Chen Ye slammed his fist heavily into the previous through wound.

boom!

The wound, which had mostly healed, was pierced again.

Beside the rocks in the distance.

Zoro held the hilt of his sword with one hand.

He sensed the power of the punch through his extremely strong Observation Haki.

"Did it succeed?"

Zoro's pupils contracted sharply.

The demonized Im let out a terrible scream.

however.

The screams lasted only a moment.

The dark origin of Im is like a dense network of black iron wires.

Begin suturing the wound at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this!

A cold glint flashed in Chen Ye's eyes.

He raised his hand again.

The howling divine flames swept down on Im's vitals.

Im's wound was attacked again.

But the dark forces immediately began to repair themselves.

Chen Ye didn't focus on one particular point.

His figure flashed rapidly in mid-air.

Continuously change the attack position.

However, every injury is repaired instantly.

Chenye's fierce attack only resulted in temporary injuries.

There was absolutely no damage to the body's fundamental essence.

The repair speed is simply outrageous.

Chen Ye stopped in mid-air.

He activated his Observation Haki to its fullest extent.

The energy flow within Im's body is clearly visible.

Im was injured every time.

The dark source within the body will forcibly reclaim the dissipated power.

The source will transform and absorb the damaged physical body.

And then continuously supply new bodies for regeneration!

As long as the source of darkness is not simultaneously severed and destroyed.

It can be repaired an unlimited number of times.

Ordinary physical attacks cannot eliminate it at its root.

Chenye randomly relayed the conclusion to Whitebeard and Lox, who were far away.

"Don't come near."

Chen Ye's voice echoed in their minds.

"Im relies on the source of darkness to maintain infinite repair."

"As long as its origin remains, it will possess an immortal body."

"Everyone, continue retreating."

"Damn those undead bodies..."

Lockes cursed under his breath.

A rare look of apprehension flashed in his eyes.

Whitebeard did not hesitate for a moment.

He immediately brandished the Murakumogiri.

Shout the order loudly.

"Everyone! Back off! Back off completely!"

The coalition soldiers began to retreat again.

The center of the battlefield was completely left to Chen Ye and Leviathan.

High in the sky.

Leviathan's massive head drooped.

Im realized Chenye's intentions.

They also noticed that Chenye frequently looked towards a certain place in the distance.

Luffy, who was extremely weak, was sitting there.

The original divine weapon is still diagonally inserted beside Luffy.

"You are protecting him."

Leviathan emitted Im's cold, twisted voice.

Im has changed his target again!

He wanted to eliminate the weakened Luffy and the first generation of divine weapons first.

Im, carrying an overwhelming aura of destruction, crashed down on the ice rock where Luffy was.

The giant mouth opened prematurely.

The dark, devouring wave was rapidly accumulating deep within his throat.

"Oops!"

Sabo, in the distance, cried out in alarm.

Chen Ye's reaction was extremely fast.

In an instant, he teleported to the front of the charging behemoth.

Facing the massive body of Im that was charging towards them.

Push both palms forward horizontally.

"Light and Darkness Barrier!"

The forces of darkness and light intertwine.

A semi-transparent gold and black barrier appeared out of thin air.

Leviathan slammed violently against the barrier.

The devastating shockwave spread outwards.

The ice rock top where Luffy was located was hit by the aftershock.

It was instantly flattened.

Chen Ye desperately resisted this unparalleled impact force.

The momentum of the charging behemoth is immense.

"Get out of my way!"

Chen Ye growled.

He suddenly exerted force with both hands.

The Leviathan's massive head was deflected by a clever force.

Followed by.

Chen Ye's figure grew taller.

The right leg is bent at the knee.

It slammed heavily into the lower jaw shell of Leviathan.

Click!

Leviathan has been dealt another heavy blow.

Forced to raise its enormous head upwards.

boom!

The dark energy that had been accumulating in his mouth burst forth.

The jet-black energy grazed Luffy's side and shot out diagonally.

It blasted deep into the ground.

It left behind a terrifying ravine hundreds of feet long.

Before Leviathan could adjust its posture.

Chen Ye unleashed the dark chains.

Tightly bind Leviathan.

Chen Ye gripped the chains tightly.

Use your own body as an anchor point.

Prevent the giant beast from turning back towards where Luffy is.

The raging winds and waves tore between the two.

Chen Ye's body trembled slightly due to the immense pulling force.

However, he was certain of one thing!

With his current strength.

He could easily overpower Im in a one-on-one fight.

But he has to be constantly distracted and restrained.

Protect Luffy, who has not yet recovered.

It is impossible to complete both the kill and protect tasks at the same time.

What's even more troublesome is...

Im's self-repairing has started again.

Within half a breath, all previous injuries were completely healed.

The relentless and fierce attacks just now.

Aside from causing Leviathan to experience brief, intense pain.

It didn't weaken its combat power in the slightest.

Leviathan raised its head.

The giant mouth opened wide.

Im's mocking laughter echoed throughout Elbaf.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Chen Ye, I admit you're very strong."

"Your strength even exceeds my expectations."

"Right now, I'm no match for you if I fight you alone."

Im's voice was full of condescending sarcasm.

"But...you can't kill me!"

"I am immortal!"

"I possess the most primal, boundless power of darkness within this land!"

"And what about you?"

"Do you have endless power to draw upon from me?"

A piercing laugh tore through the clouds.

Im abandoned his plan for a quick victory.

Manipulating the massive Leviathan.

They adopted a posture of prolonged and oppressive confrontation.

He wanted to use this indestructible body.

It completely exhausted Chen Ye's physical strength and divine power.

A strong wind blew Chen Ye's long hair.

Faced with Im's arrogant provocation.

Chen Ye's expression remained calm.

He didn't even utter a word in rebuttal.

He turned his head away.

Their gaze shifted to the ice rocks dozens of feet away.

Amidst ice and snow.

Luffy remained seated cross-legged.

The golden divine power injected into Luffy's body.

They are repairing Luffy's dried-up body.

The first-generation divine weapon was placed diagonally beside Luffy.

The white light on the sword had not yet fully recovered.

But the hilt of the sword was already trembling slightly.

Luffy's breathing is gradually returning to normal.

Chen Ye withdrew his gaze.

Their gaze returned to Leviathan's massive body.

He was indeed unable to destroy the monster.

Chen Ye thought coldly to himself.

He then decided to trap Im in this area.

As for killing Im.

Chen Ye thought that perhaps only Luffy's Nika form could defeat Im!
