Chapter 232 Betali Saint's Trap

"Tsk, this guy's ability is really troublesome..."

Esdeath stepped on a small piece of ice and slid quickly on the ice. Behind her was the 'Earth' that was chasing her closely. Driven by the power of the devil fruit, the Earth turned into big hands and grabbed towards Esdeath.

Even the ground around and even in front would stretch out a big hand from time to time to grab Esdeath, not to mention the ground under her feet. If Esdeath had not frozen the ground early, if it were someone else, she would have been completely buried by the ground that opened and closed at any time.

In a trance, Esdeath even had the illusion that the whole world wanted to kill her, but this feeling of being an enemy of the "world" made Esdeath extremely enjoyable. Even at the moments when she was almost swallowed by the earth, she always had an excited smile on her face.

The more pressure Saint Betali put on Esdeath, the more it played into Esdeath's hands. Moreover, Esdeath was not just running away, but was silently waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

Although she didn't know that Saint Betali's Earth Fruit had almost infinite recovery power after awakening, but seeing the enemy's aggressive and reckless fighting style, she could more or less guess that this level of consumption was nothing to Saint Betali.

"A stinky rat jumping up and down!"

Saint Betalli cursed a little impatiently, driving the ground farther away to surge towards Esdeath.

Those pirates and soldiers of the God's Army who failed to escape from Saint Betali's control in time were in bad luck. They didn't even have time to scream before they were swept underground by the surging earth like a wave, and then there was no sound.

The battlefield where Charlotte Palace and Charlotte Lingling were located was often filled with thunder and lightning and flames. Even at a distance far away from the battlefield, people would be turned into charcoal by sudden lightning from time to time.

Saint Gerolith and Kaido started a close combat. The Divine Knight, who was so overwhelmed by the fight, completely forgot about the idea of ​​keeping a distance from the beasts, and ended up being beaten on the head by Thunder Bagua.

Fortunately, Saint Jerolit's attainment in life return is high enough, and he can find opportunities to capture a few people to absorb their vitality from time to time, so he won't die for a while.

Betali Saint and Esdeath, who started the fight last, had a wider range than Kaido and Charlotte Linlin. Not to mention Esdeath, who almost froze half of Marijoa into ice and snow, Betali Saint, who drove the earth to fight, accidentally killed countless unlucky people.

Those who mastered the Moon Step or were fast enough still had a chance to escape. The worst-off were the Barbarian Tyrants of the Beasts Pirates. With their low intelligence and clumsy movements, they all became targets for Betali Saint to vent his anger.

Although the Barbarian Tyrants are huge in size and possess incredible strength, they are basically no different from ordinary people in front of Saint Betali, who can drive the earth to fight.

Betali Saint, who was unable to catch Esdeath, seemed to vent all his anger on the pirates. While manipulating the land farther away to encircle Esdeath, he did not forget to eliminate the pirates who were still pouring into the battlefield.

However, human energy is limited. Even Betali Saint, who possesses almost unlimited physical strength, will inevitably neglect the pursuit and interception of Esdeath when he shifts his attention to other pirates.

"Shunpo!"

Esdeath seized the opportunity to break away from Betali Saint's control, turned into a blue-white afterimage, and rushed in front of Betali Saint at an astonishing speed.

"Got you!"

Betalli Saint, who seemed to have no reaction the previous second, showed a cruel smile the next moment.

The ground centered on him was like a beast with its bloody mouth opened wide, rapidly closing in and trapping Saint Betali and Esdeath inside.

'boom! '

At the same time, Esdeath's right foot, which was wrapped in Armament Haki, smashed Betali Saint's head. However, Betali Saint, who was well prepared, had already transformed into an element in advance. Even if the attack was accompanied by Armament Haki, it could not cause any damage to the natural devil fruit user who had already transformed into an element.

"Ever since the twenty kings who created the World Government formed the Knights of God eight hundred years ago, there has never been a precedent of any Knight of God dying unnatural deaths..."

Saint Betali's voice rang out in the stone prison that trapped them. As the user of the Earth Fruit, the stone prison that Saint Betali carefully prepared was stronger than steel. Even a pirate with a bounty of hundreds of millions of berries could not forcibly break through the blockade of the stone prison.

Not to mention that to be on the safe side, Saint Betali also wrapped a layer of armed color domineering around the surface of the stone prison. Even with the destructive power of a top-level warrior, it would be difficult to break through the two layers of defense and escape in a short period of time.

"It's a very creative move. You actually used yourself as bait. But if you want to trap me to this extent, I'm afraid you will be disappointed..."

Esdeath casually swung her saber and cut a long, thin mark on the stone wall, but failed to cut the stone wall directly as she had imagined.

What is even more unacceptable is that the knife marks on the stone wall are recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. If they continue to recover at this speed, it will not be easy for Esdeath to escape unless someone can kill Saint Betali directly.

"Hmph, for the sin of killing the Knight of God, you must pay with your life!"

After finally finding an opportunity to catch Esdeath, Betali Saint was a little worried that Esdeath would force her way out. In order to avoid any further complications, he reached his right hand directly into his chest and took out a test tube filled with pink and purple rock.

Seeing the test tube in Saint Betali's hand, Esdeath couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly. The rock in the test tube actually made her feel a fatal sense of crisis.

Even for the top leaders of the World Government and the Navy, Explosive Rock is a taboo that only a few people know about. If it weren't for the purpose of protecting Marijoa, not even Marshal Sora could easily use this terrifying weapon that has the potential to destroy the world.

However, such a taboo obviously does not have much binding force on the Celestial Dragons or even the Knight of God, Betali Saint. Relying on the fact that he is the user of the Earth Fruit, Betali Saint specially hid an explosive rock in his body to increase his means of dealing with powerful enemies.

Anyway, the explosion products of dynamite rock are pure light and heat, which poses almost no threat to Betali Saint who can transform into an element.

"Give it a try if you can!"

Esdeath grinned slightly, not taking the explosive rock that was so close to her seriously at all. She raised her saber and split Betal Saint's body in half.

Unexpectedly, the dynamite rock he showed not only failed to scare Esdeath, but he was also chopped by the other party. Shocked and angry, Betali Saint crushed the test tube containing the dynamite rock without hesitation.

The next moment, the explosive rock that came into contact with oxygen reacted violently. The stone prison created by Saint Betali first swelled up suddenly, expanding into an almost transparent sphere like a balloon, and then the top of the stone prison spewed out magma that soared into the sky like a volcanic eruption.

'Boom boom boom!'

Along with the shaking of the earth, the pillar of fire rising into the sky attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield, and the entire Marijoa was shaking because of the explosion.

Although Saint Betali only used one explosive rock, the power of this terrifying explosive that can rival ancient weapons is still shocking. The Red Harbor, which was almost half blown off, is the best proof of this.

"You actually used explosive rock? That's really reckless, Saint Betali..."

Charlotte Gong, who was fighting with Big Mom, couldn't help but sigh. She didn't think there was anything wrong with Saint Betali using explosive rocks to attack the enemy, but she was worried that making such a big noise in Marijoa might alert that person. When that Steel Bone·Sora detonated the explosive rock in Red Harbor, Marijoa could already hear a lot of noise. This time it was simply detonated in Marijoa. If that person blamed her later, even Saint Figalando Green would be in trouble.

“Mom, mom, mom, you dare to be distracted while fighting me... Die! Crazy woman! Emperor Sword·Broken Blade!”

As a pirate, BIG MOM will not show mercy to her enemy just because he is distracted, especially since the one she is fighting now is the annoying guy Charlotte Palace.

The big knife wrapped in flames slashed heavily towards Charlotte Gong. It was not known whether Charlotte Gong did it on purpose or failed to react, but she was slashed on the back by BIG MOM.

The flames burned the hair on Charlotte Palace's back black, and blood gushed out of the wound deep enough to see the bone. The knife almost seriously injured Charlotte Palace.

However, the violent BIG MOM not only had no intention of pursuing the victory, but instead controlled the thundercloud under her feet to retreat rapidly, just avoiding the black flame cloud and lightning exploding on Charlotte Palace's back.

"Sizzle...sizzle..."

Thunder and lightning filled with ominous meanings continued to explode in Charlotte Palace's wounds. Charlotte Palace, surrounded by a black cloud of flames, showed an intoxicated expression.

"Hmm... this knife is awesome, Lingling!"

Charlotte House seemed unaware that she was almost split in half by BIG MOM, and was still immersed in the strange pleasure of being only one step away from death.

However, judging from the fact that the wound on her shoulder caused by Big Mom has healed, it is not difficult to guess that this Knight of God has completed the awakening of the Devil Fruit.

Once the Animal-type Devil Fruit is awakened, both the ability to recover from injuries and the physical strength for continuous combat will be improved to an incredible level.

Not to mention that Charlotte Palace's animal-type devil fruit is the rarest mythical beast species, and it is even ranked among the top abilities among the mythical beast species.

Even someone as powerful as BIG MOM is extremely wary of Charlotte House. Of course, the main reason is that Charlotte House once left a huge psychological shadow on BIG MOM a long time ago.

"Don't you love pain the most? Then I'll grant your wish!"

Facing Charlotte House's relentless pressure, BIG MOM became increasingly angry and roared in extreme annoyance.

After all, BIG MOM is the Pirate King. Even if she once had a psychological shadow on Charlotte Palace, once she gets serious, she will be able to quickly show her true strength.

‘Clang! ’

Big Mom's blade was stuck tightly by Charlotte's claws wrapped in armed color domineering. She just enjoyed the pain and the feeling of dancing on the tip of the knife, but she was not prepared to be killed on the spot.

"It hurts, Mom!"

Big Mom couldn't help but scream with the big knife in his hand. Charlotte's sharp claws almost pierced his body, and because of the struggle between his mother and the enemy, Napoleon felt that he was about to be torn in half.

"You are so pitiful. If your mother doesn't feel sorry for you, then let your aunt love you well... Thunder Eel!"

Charlotte Palace laughed a little crazily, and her sharp claws released a large amount of golden thunder, which rushed towards BIG MOM along the blade of Napoleon's sword.

"I'll protect Mom! Aa ...

Just as Napoleon the Great Sword screamed, the thundercloud under BIG MOM's feet suddenly rushed over, opened its mouth wide and swallowed all the lightning released by Charlotte Palace.

Seeing this scene, Charlotte's brows twitched slightly, and she suddenly realized that the uneasiness she had vaguely felt since the war began might not be her illusion.

"Mom, mom, mom...why don't you continue to discharge?"

BIG MOM slowly raised her head and opened her bloody mouth to reveal a mouthful of white teeth.

In the eyes of many people and even her own children, BIG MOM is a somewhat unambitious monster who only cares about giving birth to babies.

Even for those who have offended her, as long as they don't take the initiative to go to Wanguo, BIG MOM will rarely take the initiative to cause trouble for them.

But only "old friends" like Kaido know that BIG MOM can remember a grudge for a lifetime!

"Hurry up and kill her, Mom!"

Napoleon, the big knife who was screaming just now, shouted excitedly. Homies' temper is somewhat like that of a child, but he has inherited Big Mom's character in holding grudges.

"Fireball from the sky!"

In fact, before Napoleon the Sword could even shout, BIG MOM had already grabbed the little sun Prometheus behind her and threw it at Charlotte Palace like a cannonball.

Thundercloud Zeus can restrain Charlotte Palace who has eaten the Dog-Dog Fruit, the Mythical Beast Type, the Thunder Beast Form, but conversely, Charlotte Palace can also restrain Thundercloud Zeus, so BIG MOM chose Prometheus as the main means of attack.

'boom! ’

Prometheus blasted a huge pit tens of meters deep in the ground, and the surrounding area turned into a sea of ​​fire under the scorching heat.

Fortunately, the pirates and the soldiers of the God's Army had already tacitly stayed away from the battlefield when Charlotte Palace and BIG MOM started fighting. This attack did not cause too many casualties except for a dozen unlucky guys who were not far enough away and were killed by the aftermath of the explosion.

However, a terrifying smile appeared on BIG MOM's face. Since the start of the battle, this was the first time that Charlotte Gong took the initiative to retreat and avoid her attack.

"Trouble..."

Charlotte Gong retreated violently, leaving two long grooves on the ground with her feet. It was true that she enjoyed the pain, but she would rather take BIG MOM's attacks continuously, more to show her own strength and further expand the psychological shadow she had left on BIG MOM.
