Chapter 79 A Battle Without Suspense
Minos carefully felt the sand hitting his body.
Hmm! Overall, there's a little bit of pain, but nothing serious.
Minos quipped, "Sand Crocodile, you're not good enough either? I've been standing here letting you hit me, but I haven't gotten hurt at all."
Old Sha fell silent, not expecting that his powerful attack would not cause any damage to Minos.
Minos looked at the silent Sand Crocodile and sneered, "Sand Crocodile, I'm going to make my move!"
Before Crocodile could react, Minos swung his fists with imposing force, white energy covering them, and Armament Haki also appeared on his fists.
Minos said in a deep voice, "Armed - Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist." Countless black and white fists rushed straight towards Old Sand.
Seeing the approaching fist shadows, Old Sha helplessly said in a deep voice, "Sandstorm," and a sandstorm appeared to fight against the countless fist shadows.
Minos found it ridiculous to look at Old Sand's sandstorm. Did a tiny sandstorm really think it could stop his Armed Flowing Rock Shattering Fist?
Sure enough, the sandstorm was blasted apart, but the fist shadow had not disappeared and went straight towards Old Sand.
Seeing the sandstorm broken, Old Sha had no choice but to flee hastily. But the shadows of fists still struck him.
Old Sha collapsed to the ground in agony, Minos's fist imbued with Armament Haki, causing him severe injury.
Minos looked at Old Sand lying on the ground in agony and was speechless. This Old Sand was far too weak!
He felt that he hadn't even used his ultimate move before Old Sha collapsed.
Minos said disappointedly, "Crocodile, I didn't expect you to be so weak. You fell down before I even got serious. What a waste. It seems that after Whitebeard cut off your hand in the New World, not only did your strength decrease, but you also forgot how to use Haki."
Old Sha lay on the ground, bleeding profusely. Only now did he realize why Minos was called one of the Five Emperors; their strength was on a completely different level!
Old Shah didn't refute Minos's words. He admitted that the battle had indeed broken his spirit. But that wasn't a reason for Minos to mock him.
Crocodile struggled to his feet, glanced at Minos's disappointed expression, and sneered, "What do you know? You're just a mere brat! When I, Crocodile, was adventuring in the New World, you, Minos, were still nowhere to be found!"
Minos shook his head and said, "Age has never determined a person's strength. Even if you have ventured into the new world, you have failed and lost your will. You only think about taking revenge through external forces, but you have forgotten that your own strength is the foundation."
Crocodile roared angrily, "Minos, shut up! I, Crocodile, don't need your approval!"
"Fine, since that's how it is, then I'll send you on your way!" Minos said in a deep voice.
Just as Minos was about to finish off Old Sha, he suddenly sensed several figures charging towards him.
Minos's Observation Haki swept across the desert; it turned out that Crocodile's subordinates were on their way. (Damn. I've noticed something: do you really need Observation Haki in battle? I don't think you do! (◣_◢))
Minos temporarily abandoned his plan to kill Crocodile, deciding to deal with Crocodile's henchmen first before taking care of Crocodile himself!
Minos looked at Old Sha with a mocking smile, "It seems your men have already arrived?"
what!
Old Shah felt no joy upon hearing Minos's words. He knew his men well; they were truly weak, like insects before Minos.
Seeing the old man in great pain, Minos had already decided to kill his men right in front of him.
Minos was very curious about what kind of expression the ruthless Old Sand would have!
Soon, under Minos's watchful eye, Old Sha's men arrived at Old Sha's side.
Minos looked closely and realized that it seemed to be everyone from Mr. 1 to Mr. 9 (well, actually I only knew a few of them). They were all characters from the original work. There was also a Robin who made a minor appearance.
Bonis approached Old Shah with concern and asked, "Chief, are you alright?"
Old Sha said in a deep voice, "Today might be a disaster; the opponent is too strong."
Bonnie looked at the badly injured Old Sha and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, boss, I will protect you. Even if I die, I will die in front of you."
The other subordinates said in unison, "Don't worry, boss. We'll protect you."
Robin watched this scene, unmoved and seemingly out of place.
Minos watched with great interest, wondering why Old Sha's men were so loyal!
Minos exclaimed, moved, "What a touching scene! In that case, I'll send you all to your deaths first, and then send the sand crocodile down to join you." (⌒▽⌒)
After saying that, Minos didn't wait for their reaction and went straight to one of Old Sha's men. Minos looked at him with a wicked smile and said, "First one." His black Armament Haki fist landed directly on the man.
The sound of the watermelon breaking apart rang out, quite crisp and clear.
Blood was splattering, and Old Sha and the other members were covered in blood.
Fear was palpable on the faces of Old Sha's men; they looked terrified and at a loss.
Minos turned to look at them and said with a wicked smile, "Next is the second one." Minos disappeared from his spot and appeared behind a woman named Pora.
Minos stared at her voluptuous figure, unmoved. His fist, brimming with Armament Haki, struck her again, instantly shattering her into pieces.
Blood splattered everywhere, but Minos' black cloak of justice blocked all the blood.
Old Sha's men were now filled with terror and fear as Minos crushed them with overwhelming power.
When Old Sha saw Minos slaughtering his men indiscriminately, he could no longer remain calm.
Old Sha said in a deep voice, "Does the mighty Fifth Emperor Minos only bully the weak? If you've got the guts, come find me!"
Minos laughed heartily: "Since when have sand crocodiles become so sharp-tongued!" But since you want to die, I can grant your wish!
Minos suddenly vanished from his spot, appearing before Crocodile with incredible speed and a smile playing on his lips. "Another one." His fist, brimming with Armament Haki, hurtled towards Crocodile's head. Minos thought Crocodile was doomed, but to his surprise…
A figure blocked Old Crocodile's path. Minos looked up and saw that it was the bald Bones, a Devil Fruit user, I think it was called the Cut-Cut Fruit user!
However, it was all for naught. Minos's right hand passed right through his chest without any effort.
Minos looked coldly at Bonis, who was spitting blood, and pulled his right hand out of his body without any remorse.
After Minos withdrew his hand, Bonis, with his chest hollow, fell backward, but Old Sand caught him.
With his last breath, Bonis looked at Old Sha and stammered, "Thank you for saving my life, Chief. Now I repay you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bonnie lay dead in Old Sha's arms, his eyes wide open.
Minos watched this scene quietly, his heart unmoved; the path to godhood was destined to be bloody.
