Chapter 14: A Feast for the Senses! The Dual Emperors Gacha Pool Unlocked!
The sky was cleaved open.
That wasn't a metaphor, but a terrifying, almost miraculous truth presented to everyone.
Centered on the Moby Dick, the entire sky seemed to be cleaved in two by an invisible divine sword, with thick clouds rolling to both sides, forming a huge crack that stretched across the sky.
At the end of the crack lies the deep and boundless universe.
Conqueror's Haki.
The mere clash of weapons between the two men standing at the pinnacle of the world resulted in such a devastating spectacle caused by the overwhelming Haki emanating from them.
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
On the deck, apart from a few captains and officers who could barely stand, the vast majority of the crew members foamed at the mouth and collapsed one after another under the oppressive force that seemed to crush their souls.
Even the legendary Moby Dick was groaning under the strain, its wooden planks creaking as if it might fall apart at any moment.
However, in this apocalyptic scene, there is one person who doesn't fit in.
Chen Ye.
His legs were firmly planted on the deck, his body trembled violently from the immense pressure, veins bulged on his forehead, and cold sweat poured down like a stream, soaking his clothes.
On a mental level, it felt as if two invisible mountains were relentlessly crushing him, causing him excruciating headaches and blurring his consciousness.
But instead of fear, his heart was filled with extreme ecstasy and greed!
Because, in his mind, the system's notification sounds were ringing out continuously at an unprecedentedly frantic frequency!
[WARNING! WARNING! Extremely high concentration of legendary energy field detected!]
[Absorbing the energy dissipated by the target 'Edward Newgate'...]
[Analysis progress +0.5%!]
[Analysis progress +0.8%!]
[Analysis progress +1.1%!]
[Absorbing the energy dissipated by the target 'Shanks'...]
[Analysis progress of the SSR character gacha pool 'Shanks (Golden Age)' +0.7%!]
[Analysis progress +1.0%!]
[Analysis progress +1.3%!]
crazy!
Totally crazy!
This is no longer absorption, it's devouring!
He had tried everything, from massaging his back to telling jokes, but in a week he had only managed to make a meager 1.2% progress.
But now, in just a dozen seconds of the two emperors' confrontation, the resolution numbers are like wild horses, skyrocketing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
This is hardly a powerful clash.
This was clearly a once-in-a-lifetime feast tailor-made for him!
"More!"
"Make it even stronger!"
Chen Ye roared madly in his heart. He endured the excruciating pain of his soul being torn apart. Instead of retreating, he used all his strength to move a small step towards the center of the storm!
He wants to extract every last bit of value from this duel!
……
The stalemate did not last long.
"Clang."
With a crisp sound of the sword being sheathed, the terrifying pressure that could change the very fabric of the world vanished abruptly.
Shanks sheathed the famous sword "Griffin" at his waist, his expression returning to calm, though a hint of helplessness and regret lingered in his deep eyes.
"It seems that it really doesn't make sense."
He turned away, no longer looking at the white-bearded man, leaving the sea king with a resolute silhouette.
"Newgate, the times have spiraled out of control."
"Since you insist on doing this, then be prepared to bear all the consequences."
The white-bearded man, holding his naginata, stood as steady as a mountain. He looked at Shanks's back and spoke in a deep voice.
"Gurarararar... Little brat, are you teaching me how to do things?"
"I have a white beard."
After he finished speaking, there was no further communication.
Shanks took a step forward, preparing to disembark.
However, as he passed the center of the deck, he paused slightly.
His keen, domineering senses detected an unusual presence.
In this overwhelming clash that even his elite officers could hardly withstand, there was a rookie kid who not only didn't faint, but even stood so close to the center.
The strangest thing is that there is still a trace of chaotic energy left on this kid's body, which has not yet been completely calmed down after he frantically absorbed energy.
Shanks raised an eyebrow slightly, his deep gaze instantly locking onto Chen Ye.
"Oh?"
He let out a soft exclamation, seemingly showing some interest in this newcomer who could withstand his Conqueror's Haki.
Just as Shanks was about to step forward and say something to this interesting kid.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Two figures, as if teleported, stood on the left and right, blocking Chen Ye's path without the slightest hint of hostility.
It's Marco the Phoenix and Vista the Flower.
Marco, hands in his pockets, with his signature languid expression, looked at Shanks with half-closed eyes, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable air of authority.
"Shanks, that's enough trouble, it's time to leave."
Vista, his hand on the hilt of his sword, looked serious, his gaze sharp as a knife.
"These are our Whitebeard Pirates' family, no need for Shanks to trouble himself."
The attitudes of the two top captains are very clear.
You can come and negotiate, or even fight with your father.
But you can't touch our new family.
Shanks looked at Marco and Vista, who were blocking his way, and then at Chenye behind them, who was panting heavily and looked terrified. He suddenly smiled.
He shook his head and didn't insist any further.
"Okay, okay."
"It seems you've found an extraordinary younger brother."
After leaving behind this meaningful remark, Shanks didn't linger. He leaped and landed steadily back on his Red Fox.
Soon, the red-haired man's vehicle turned around and disappeared into the vast sea.
Marco and Vista breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that the Red Fosse had completely departed, and turned to look at Chen Ye.
Before they could even speak, they saw Chen Ye close his eyes and fall straight backward.
"Hey! Chen Ye!"
Marco reacted quickly and caught him.
Chen Ye was not unconscious.
He simply needed an absolutely quiet environment to review what he had achieved in his life—the most fruitful victory he had ever won!
His consciousness had already sunk into the system interface.
【Ding! 】
[The legendary energy field has dissipated; analysis terminated.]
[Final settlement in progress...]
coming!
Chen Ye's heart began to pound violently.
The next second, two brand-new system panels, radiating dazzling light, appeared before his eyes.
[SSR Character Slot: Edward Newgate (Peak), the "World's Strongest Man"]
[Current parsing progress: 45.88%!]
Forty-five percent!
In just over ten seconds, the white beard's resolution soared from a pitiful five percent to nearly half!
This is a terrifying leap!
However, what made him even more breathless was another brand new panel.
[SSR Character Slot Pool: 'Strongest Conqueror's Haki' - Shanks (Peak)]
[Current parsing progress: 40.15%!]
It worked!
The second SSR-level top-tier character gacha pool is officially unlocked!
Moreover, the initial progress reached an astonishing 40%!
This means he has two trump cards! Two powerful cards that could overturn the table in the future war that will decide the fate of the world!
An overwhelming sense of ecstasy swept through Chen Ye's entire being like a tsunami.
But the surprises are far from over.
【Ding! 】
[The resolution of the 'Shanks' gacha pool has exceeded 40%!]
[The system's exchange function has been enabled for this card pool!]
Chen Ye immediately focused his consciousness on the exchange shop.
The store interface, which originally had only a few options, now had a row of new options flashing red.
[Rank A - Top-Tier Conqueror's Haki Intimidation]: Exchangeable by consuming 15% of 'Shanks' analysis. Can instantly unleash Conqueror's Haki intimidation powerful enough to momentarily disorient a Vice Admiral-level expert.
[Rank A - Swift Sword Drawing Technique]: Exchangeable by consuming 15% of 'Shanks' analysis. Grants access to Shanks' signature sword drawing technique, increasing sword drawing speed by 500%.
[S-Rank - Divine Evasion Sword Technique Insights (Fragment)]: Exchangeable by consuming 30% of 'Shanks' analysis. A fragment containing a trace of the essence of the 'Divine Evasion' sword technique, granting your strikes a Conqueror's Haki entangling effect that ignores a portion of defense. [Warning: Given the host's current physique, forcibly using this technique will likely result in the shattering of the right arm.]
Looking at those breathtakingly powerful skills, especially the S-rank "Divine Evasion Sword Technique Insights," Chen Ye's breath almost stopped.
This is Roger and Shanks' signature move!
It is the power that truly stands at the pinnacle of swordsmanship!
Despite the enormous risks, its ability to "ignore some defenses" makes it practically designed for attacking strongholds!
They've struck it rich.
This time, it's truly a complete and utter leap to the top!
then!
then!
then!
He completely lost consciousness!
