From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

At the same time, Diarmait pulled his arms back, wrapped them around his heart with domineering power.

The next second, Shanks' claws grabbed Diarmait's arms.

Blocked by the domineering power, he could not move forward.

Diarmait's swordsmanship is only half-baked. What he is really good at is actually his ability, domineering, and physical skills. Perhaps many people have noticed that his ability is stronger, but in terms of domineering and physical skills, not many people have discovered Diarmait's shining points.

The main reason is that when facing top-level masters like Whitebeard, everyone is about the same, so they cannot stand out.

When facing a newbie, you won't need these at all.

That's why it's not well-known.

The moment Shanks' claws grabbed Diarmait's arms, Diarmait did not retreat but moved forward. He stepped on the ground and leaned forward half a meter. This half meter was directly against Shanks' body. As his arms were like claws and stretched out, his chest was naturally wide open and defenseless.

Just as Diarmait had no experience fighting Shanks, Shanks had no experience fighting Diarmait.

Diarmait's sudden change of tactics caught him off guard.

"The tiger is coming down the mountain!" Diarmait laughed.

He pushed down with his shoulders and elbows, and using his height advantage, he suddenly moved closer to Shanks' arms. The next second, all the strength in his body burst out at the same time. With a bang, when his shoulders and elbows hit Shanks' chest, the powerful force directly blew Shanks away.

However, just as Shanks flew backwards half a meter, he felt a sudden pain in his arm and spat out blood. He lowered his head and looked forward, only to see Diarmait step on his foot and grab his arm with one hand, stopping him from flying backwards.

"My. Tiger Roar Cannon!" Diarmait said in a low voice.

At the same time, Shanks was pulled back by him, and Diarmait's other hand placed a palm on Shanks' chest.

Just like Lucci's Six Styles Secret Technique and the Six Kings Spear, an extremely powerful impact force, carrying the pressure of gravity and domineering power, burst out from Diarmait's palm.

Shanks first felt a pain in his chest, and he didn't know how many ribs he had broken. Then, dirty blood spurted out of his mouth, staining Diarmait's white short-sleeve red. Faintly, he could see some fragments of internal organs stuck together in the blood.

Then, Diarmait loosened his grip, and without the force pulling Shanks, Shanks was knocked into the ground by Diarmait's palm. First, a hole about thirty to forty centimeters deep was smashed in the ground, and then Shanks plowed backwards against the hole. After more than ten meters, he stopped.

Before Shanks could recover from this series of blows.

Diarmuid stretched out his hand in the void and grabbed the guy. From the gaps between his fingers, a faint purple energy aura, which had already turned black, emanated. ...Please give me flowers.

"Seal the coffin in the black prison!" Diarmait said in a low voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the earth and rocks on the ground beside Shanks instantly stuck to him, and without waiting for him to struggle, they directly submerged him. In a moment, it became the shape of a rectangular coffin. A layer of light purple energy halo flowed on the surface of the earth and rocks, locking Shanks inside tightly.

“It’s really a bit weak…” Diarmait smacked his lips as he watched this scene.

He had thought that Shanks was definitely not in peak condition now, but he never expected that Shanks had no ability to fight back at all in his hands. This was indeed too weak.

If nothing unexpected happened, how could he have become the top of the Four Emperors six years later with his domineering aura and swordsmanship?

How could he fight against Kaido, Charlotte, Linlin, and even those three monsters like Whitebeard?

With his current strength, he can't even beat Sakaski, okay?

It's so confusing...

Diarmait thought so in his heart.

"Did everyone really give him face?" Diarmait complained.

Just as Diarmait was thinking about these messy things, suddenly, a force that was about to break through the suppression came from the black coffin that was sealed by Diarmait's ability.

Before Diarmuid could apply more pressure, the black coffin suddenly exploded, and Shanks's disheveled figure emerged from the smoke and dust. Compared to before, although he looked quite disheveled, he had undergone a significant transformation.

First, he seemed to have lost consciousness, his eyes rolled back, and he looked very scary. His clothes were torn and tattered, and his straw hat was crumpled and fell to the ground.

But at this moment, Shanks was emitting a powerful domineering power everywhere, and this domineering power was exactly the domineering power! ?

What's even more exaggerated is that he actually covered his entire body with Conqueror's Haki, as if his Conqueror's Haki was free! ?

"This is..." Diarmait whispered softly.

I remember someone in my past life speculating that Kaido has the strongest vitality, Whitebeard has the strongest attack power, Charlotte and Linlin have the strongest defense, and among the Four Emperors, each should have a strongest advantage, and Shanks, in all likelihood, has the strongest Conqueror's Haki power.

Now it seems that this is really the case! ?

Shanks seemed to have completely lost his mind at this time, and he unconsciously roared at Diarmait like a wild beast.

The domineering aura on his body seemed to be endless. The gravel on the ground under his feet rose and fell with the trembling of the domineering aura, and some of them were even floating in the air.

Without waiting for Diarmait to observe for a while, Shanks stomped his feet and pounced on Diarmait. During this process, he seemed to have turned into an irrational beast, and he even crawled on all fours to increase his speed.

In a blink of an eye, he rushed in front of Diarmait, raised his hands and threw two punches, and a strong domineering aura came towards him.

Diarmuid did not resist, but moved left and right, always avoiding Shanks' attack before it landed.

A hint of understanding flashed across his eyes, and he murmured softly, "After all, I was unable to control the power within me, and instead became the one controlled by it?"

There is no doubt that the domineering Haki in Shanks' body is really very strong and abundant, whether it is due to his extraordinary talent or some other reason. It is so large that he can use it at will, which is extremely luxurious.

But unfortunately, he has not been able to master this power yet, and when he uses it, it is all instinctive. Therefore, although he is strong, he can only be described as "nothing more than that".

Perhaps six years later, he had completely mastered this power and was able to compete with the three monsters with his domineering aura and swordsmanship?

After dodging several attacks, Diarmait stretched out his hand and yanked the demon sword that was originally in the distance. The heart ferry, pulled by gravity, quickly fell into Diarmait's hands.

At the same time, Diarmait also swept his hand across the blade of Xindu, and an extremely powerful force, emitting pure black light, attached to the blade.

"The sword cuts the flesh, the heart cuts the soul... the infinite truth devours." Diarmuid said softly.

Chapter 254: Cutting Shanks with a Knife, Cutting Off His Arm?! (Five more chapters, plus extra chapters with flowers!)

In fact, dealing with the beast-like Shanks now is actually easier than before.

There is no need to really use the unstoppable killing move like "Infinite True Devouring".

However, Diarmait was still willing to give Shanks some respect at this time. Although his strength seemed very weak now, at least he showed a power that could be called world-class.

Then it would be reasonable for me to "treat" him.

When Diarmait's palm brushed across the tip of Xindu's knife, the entire knife turned pitch black.

The next second, Shanks' beast-like figure pounced again and punched Diarmait.

Diarmait didn't let him off. He swung his hand, drew a dark flower shadow, and slashed it directly with a knife.

Perhaps he instinctively felt some threat. Even though he had lost his mind, Shanks still stopped his action and forcibly retracted his fist.

Then, a flash of blood appeared, and Xindu's blade slashed across his chest. The extremely powerful domineering aura was completely useless, and was directly cut open by Xindu, followed by flesh and blood.

If it weren't for his instinct that made him stop, this blow would have almost killed him.

Perhaps it was the intense pain that stimulated Shanks, or perhaps it was the dangerous aura that stimulated Shanks.

In short, after the knife fell, Shanks's eyes, which had rolled back to normal, quickly returned to normal. Then he cried out in pain and raised his hand to cover the 30-centimeter-long wound on his chest.

"Ara, are you awake?" Diarmuid said with a smile.

However, he was somewhat surprised that after Shanks woke up, the domineering power wrapped around him did not dissipate, but was still vented unscrupulously.

Shanks covered his chest with his hands, but 12 couldn't stop the bleeding at all. However, after the pain subsided, he looked at his palm in surprise.

The entanglement of domineering aura?

Looking more closely, why is it all over my body?

And he didn't feel tired at all?

"What is this?" Shanks looked at Diarmait and asked.

There was a lot of doubt in his tone.

Diarmait seemed to be in a good mood and even explained it to him.

"Perhaps you activated your instincts while you were unconscious? Talent? Or maybe you overdrew? Who knows? But the power of your Conqueror's Haki is indeed very strong. In terms of total amount, it is even stronger than the Whitebeard I saw back then. It's just that you seem unable to control this power. Otherwise, your strength can be called top-notch." Diarmait said with a smile.

"Really?" Shanks murmured, then said, "Anyway, it was under your strong pressure that I awakened this power. Thank you very much!"

“You’re welcome. Just experience this power, because maybe this is the last time you will use it…” Diarmait said with a calm smile.

"It's hard to say..." Shanks murmured softly, then looked at Griffin who fell to the ground not far away.

Diarmait also noticed his gaze. Holding the Heart Ferry emitting black light in one hand, he casually waved his other hand and said, "Please." "Thank you." Shanks nodded, then took a few steps and picked up his knife.

Although he knew that Diarmait was not in a hurry to capture him, he still thanked Diarmait for his magnanimity.

After grabbing Griffin in his hand, Shanks squeezed it hard, and the domineering aura quickly wrapped around his blade.

With a light swing, Griffin's blade swept across the ground, and the powerful force cut a smooth hole in the ground.

"Are you ready?" Diarmait saw this and could even ask politely.

Shanks's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that you are still very confident that you can beat me?" "To be honest, yes." Diarmait nodded.

"Is it because of your pitch-black knife?" Shanks looked at the heart ferry in Diarmait's hand and asked.

Compared to before, Diarmuid was obviously stronger, or in other words, the time he could use the move "Infinite True Devouring" had become longer.

That's why he was able to chat with Shanks so calmly while holding the 'Infinite True Devouring' instead of rushing to kill him.

"This sword is called Xindu, and it is known as the strongest demon sword. The black light attached to the blade is called Infinite True Devouring. It is transformed by my ability. This should be the first time you have seen it. After all, I rarely use it. So far, no one, whether it is Kaido, Charlotte. Linlin, or even the strongest man. Whitebeard, can block this move. ... The reason why I gave you so much time and talked to you calmly is because I feel that you will not be able to block the next sword." Diarmait said softly.

"Heart Crossing... Infinite True Devouring." Shanks murmured softly, and then a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He didn't care about the blood flowing from the wound on his chest. He held the hilt of the knife with both hands and said, "I think it may be blocked!"

The moment he finished speaking, the domineering aura wrapped around his body quickly gathered on his Griffin. This guy was indeed gifted. In just a short moment, he was able to begin to initially control the power that erupted from his body.

At this moment, neither side spoke again. As their momentum grew, the atmosphere around them became more and more oppressive.

Finally, Shanks lost his patience first, stomped his foot hard, and rushed towards Diarmait. At the same time, the Griffin in his hand emitted a sharp light and domineering power.

"Dragon Breaker. Wind Slash!!!" Shanks shouted angrily.

There were no fancy techniques, just a simple, hard-hitting blow of the knife that fell towards Diarmait.

Diarmuid also made no unnecessary moves, no dodging, no resistance, simply raising his demonic sword. With a single blow, he faced Shanks's Griffin.

"To save others and yourself, you must first save your heart..." Diarmait said softly.

The two swords collided instantly, and then, in Shanks' incredible eyes, he saw Diarmait's heart, which was almost ignoring the powerful domineering aura attached to the blade.

At the moment of contact, the black light seemed to have swallowed up the domineering aura. There was no resistance at all. Xindu cut through the power of the domineering aura and hit Griffin's blade.

Then, Griffin seemed to be not a famous sword at all. Words like model and paper-made filled Shanks' mind.

Because his Griffin was directly cut in half by Xindu!

Shanks had never thought that such a situation would occur, and now he finally understood that what Diarmait had just said was not an exaggeration.

In this world, I am afraid that no one can block his sword, Charlotte. Linlin can't block it, Kaido can't block it, Whitebeard can't block it, and he, Shanks, naturally can't block it either!
