Chapter 139 Hate your own powerlessness, Shanks
Time became viscous.
On the other side of the island, Wang Zhi, who was scheming how to reap the benefits, froze instantly with his cunning and composure.
He felt an irresistible, tsunami-like impact crashing towards him.
The solid Skull Rock beneath their feet vanished silently, as if made of paper, under the onslaught of black light.
It wasn't broken, it wasn't an explosion.
It's not about erasing, it's about removing them!
……
At the last moment before the slash, Wang Zhi, relying on his years of combat experience, barely managed to avoid a direct impact.
But the silent shockwave sent his massive body flying, crashing heavily into the ruins of the castle.
Rumbling--
The scattered rubble buried it instantly.
……
Inside the stone chamber.
After being imprisoned for many days, the gentian finally saw the sunlight.
She struggled to open her eyes, trying to make out what was in front of her...
……
She felt that she was probably still in a dream.
A massive ravine, tens of meters wide and seemingly endless, pierces through Beehive Island like a giant axe dropped by a god.
Seawater was rushing in frantically, and the spray it generated was splashing against her face.
The icy seawater reminded her that this was not a dream.

-
The location of the Red-Haired Pirates is the only fulcrum that exists in this enormous chasm.
The ground beneath Shanks' feet cracked and sank, Griffin hummed under the strain, and black and red arcs of Haki flickered around him.
He was breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently.
……
This attack...
The power of that attack definitely reached that level!
That's at the level of a pirate emperor!
Even Charlotte Linlin's attacks didn't have this terrifying sense of oppression!
How can he be so strong?!
But... I still made it through!!
Before Shanks could even catch his breath, he suddenly realized something.
Do not……
No way...
No! ! !
……
……
call--
Allen exhaled a long breath of stale air, which seemed to contain some kind of fine particles.
Those are impurities.
Each time he uses the Kaleidoscope Eye Technique, his physical strength increases by one point; this is the result of tempering.
……
Compared to Amaterasu, which is hailed as the strongest physical attack, and Kotoamatsukami, the strongest illusion, Allen's Amatsukami is quite ordinary.
If a normal Uchiha in the ninja world possessed these eyes, the only thing they could probably do was amplify the power of ninjutsu or taijutsu.
This is a pupil technique that is useless to the weak and everlasting to the strong.
……
The awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan is influenced by the mindset at the time of awakening, hence it is called the "eye of the mind".
Kotoamatsukami, who seeks to change people's hearts; Kamui, who escapes reality; Amaterasu's fire, which destroys everything...
Eye techniques are strongly influenced by the will of their holders.
-
Allen awakened his Kaleidoscope after his battle with Shiki the Golden Lion. At that time, his physical strength was exhausted, and he couldn't even perform basic water maneuvers, let alone activate the Kaleidoscope.
He realized he had awakened the Kaleidoscope while sparring with members of the Whitebeard Troupe.
There was no heart-wrenching sorrow, no resentful roar; it simply existed as naturally as water flowing into a channel.
Looking back, what was I thinking at that time?
I don't seem to have any particular thoughts, it's just...
I'm not strong enough yet. If I were a little stronger, I should be able to kill him.
If I were a little stronger, I could do what I want to do.
"I should be stronger."
Such a simple and unpretentious thought.
……
Allen never pinned his hopes on obtaining powerful items or the emergence of a bug-level space-time eye technique.
That's perhaps the difference.
When an Uchiha normally activates the Mangekyou Sharingan, the eye technique captures the maximum value of emotions, and the brain secretes special chakra to stabilize these emotions, thus weaving the Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique.
This may be the reason why people who unlock the kaleidoscope undergo drastic changes in their personality.
……
Allen thought of someone.
Madara Uchiha.
That person's kaleidoscope eye technique might be similar to mine.
I don't need any fancy abilities to achieve my dreams; I can achieve them on my own!
Only with such domineering will can such a pure eye technique appear!
……
Allen looked up and met Shanks's despairing gaze.
A faint smile played on her lips as she spoke softly.
"As expected of the Iron Wall, my all-out attack resulted in the deaths of only three people."
"That's amazing!!"
Allen was full of praise.
-
Carrara —
Lucky Roux, standing in front of the Red-Haired Pirates, was a fortress of pure black Haki that seemed to be armed to the bone.
It collapsed with a crash, scattering debris all over the ground.
……
Gobu, the tallest of the three with a ferocious face resembling a demon, had a large hole in his throat from which blood gushed.
……
Navigator Bendick Snake, his twin swords fell to the ground, his body spurting countless lines of blood.
-
Raki Lu...
This morning, you were asking me how well-done you wanted your steak for dinner.
Gobu... I know, although you look fierce, you have a soft heart and are most afraid of ghosts and insects...
You promised to go to the final island and become the second navigator to go there after Jabba… Snake…
……
Shanks' pupils contracted and dilated repeatedly, unwilling to believe what he was seeing.
His hand holding the knife trembled.
I'm not ready yet...
Why wasn't there even a chance to say goodbye...?
……
Beckman spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Gob used a roar that was beyond his limits... Snake was unlucky..."
"Raki could have... I saw it, he took most of the attack in the end, you can understand him, right..."
"Shanks, he wants you to be in top condition to get through this huge crisis!"
"What are you hesitating for! Don't let our fallen comrades down, grip that knife tightly! You bastard!!"
Beckman roared, tears mingling with the grime on his face, each drop hitting the ground with force.
-
-
Allen turned his attention back to himself.
The first strike, a strike that pours everything into the attack without reservation.
The energy of each cell is depleted and refilled.
The body underwent a process of "self-forging".
This feeling of creating a 'new self'...
It was so refreshing!
It's so funny it makes you want to burst out laughing!
……
"Hahaha...ha ...
The unrestrained, wild laughter spread along with the sound of the wind, accompanied by the surging seawater!
Allen wasn't captivated by the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, but rather by his own strength.
Clang——
A crimson ray cut through the wind.
clang--!!
Allen raised his hand, his two fingers, wrapped in Armament Haki, blocking the incoming blade, the wind whipping his black hair wildly.
-
"What...are you laughing at?!"
"Does killing others bring you so much pleasure?!"
Shanks roared, and black and red arcs of electricity surged wildly across the blade.
……
"I really hate your kind of self-righteousness and inability to understand what others are saying."
Allen retreated steadily under the onslaught of the blade, calmly saying, "I've said before that killing doesn't bring me pleasure. I'd like to ask you something..."
"Each of you has killed someone, yet you weren't prepared to be killed?"
"Or is it that you can accept your own death, but not the death of your comrades?"
……
"Then you shouldn't hate me, you should hate yourself for not having the power to protect your companions."
Peng——
Allen punched Shanks in the chest and whispered in his ear, "Me too."
"I didn't hate you that day, I was just angry at myself for being too weak and failing to protect the people I should have protected."
Shanks' pupils contracted sharply, and his attack paused.
……
Allen missed the opening to attack, leaning back to avoid the bullet fired by Beckman and retreating rapidly.
"I'm prepared to be killed, and so are you, Navy!!"
Beckman roared and lunged forward, his usual composure replaced by rage.
Under the Red-Haired Pirates' fierce attack, Allen fought his way back.
……
It wasn't that he suddenly softened, but rather that he couldn't confront them head-on in his current state.
All eye techniques come with costs and limitations.
Each use of forging puts a huge strain on the eyes and body, accompanied by severe pain and damage to pupillary power.
The physical pain is insignificant, it's just that...
As is well known, kaleidoscopes gradually cause blindness with use.
Allen had refrained from using the kaleidoscope for over two years, and upon his first use, he could feel his vision deteriorating.
The current attenuation is very small. He estimates that it will only affect the battle after at least a dozen uses. As long as it is not used like Sasuke's, there will be no problem for several years.
……
Eye techniques also have a 'cooldown period,' and forging requires materials.
To use an analogy, the Mangekyou Sharingan is the furnace, the body provides the fire, and chakra and other energy are the materials.
After forging a "divine weapon", you need to wait for a period of time before you can use it again.
To put it more simply...
Now that the blue bar is empty, move A and wait for the blue bar to appear.
Of course, if pushed to the limit, one can slightly overdraw their eye power...
It hasn't reached that level.
Moreover, Allen still had two three-tomoe gems as trump cards, so he wasn't worried at all.
……
During the fierce battle, Allen was forced to the nearshore waters, while Dol on the White Wolf stared intently at the battlefield, his fists clenched.
Not yet...
Allen didn't call for help, I can't go there!
Suddenly, Dor sensed something with his Observation Haki and turned to look.
On the coastline not far away, two enormous snakes dragged a large, bright red ship as it sailed by.
That is……
The Kuja Pirates!!
