Reincarnated With the Book of Knowledge - RWBK Chapter 108 Lightning Treasure!

In the distance…

“Robin, can you tell what’s happening in the fight?” Vivi asked, squinting her eyes and straining to see.

With her level of skill, Vivi couldn’t even follow the movements of the likes of Rode and the others. She could only see the aftermath of each attack, resulting in tremendous destruction.

Robin, on the other hand, was a little more composed. After all, she had witnessed the power of Navy admirals firsthand, and what was happening now was still within the realm of her perception.

Her eyes gleamed with intelligence as she calmly analyzed the situation. “Crocodile’s Sand-Sand Devil Fruit has a strong restraining and control effect. If you’re not careful, you could even be turned to sand and drained of water, resulting in death or a serious injury.”

“Momonga is a top-tier swordsman with formidable strength, speed, and Haki abilities. He has no weaknesses.”

“When the two of them work together…”

At this point, Robin shook her head, obviously not optimistic about Rhodes’ chances.

“Why don’t we get a little closer so we can call for a stop to the fighting in time?” Vivi suggested.

But Robin was a little helpless. “It would be very dangerous for us to get any closer.”

“Let’s just watch quietly. Since Rhodes is actively taking on two opponents, he must have some tricks up his sleeve.”

Meanwhile, in the midst of the battle…

Vice Admiral Momonga stepped forward with Moonwalk, standing shoulder to shoulder with Crocodile as they looked on at Rhodes, who was bathed in lightning not far away.

After a few clashes, Momonga had roughly figured out Rhodes’ strength.

Rhodes was slightly inferior to him in swordsmanship and strength, but his speed was much faster.

“I’m afraid we can’t be too far apart,” Momonga said solemnly. “Your physical technique and Haki are too weak and you’ll be decapitated.”

“You just need to restrain him,” he continued, holding his sword.

When facing a fast enemy, it is easy to be taken out one by one if they are separated by too much distance, just like what happened a moment ago.

“I don’t need you to tell me that!” Crocodile’s expression was gloomy.

He never imagined that in this battle, he would become the weak point.

At this point, Rhodes showed no signs of backing down and unleashed his ultimate move.

He suddenly activated his Thunder power to the extreme, releasing endless bolts of lightning that filled the sky, covering the area with thunder and electric arcs, making the world lose its color as if it was the end of the world.

In an instant, a sea of thunder appeared in the area, and the terrifying scene even made the people in the city tremble in fear and prostrate themselves on the ground as if witnessing a miracle.

“Thunder Treasure!”

Rhodes’ eyes were filled with lightning, and with a swing of his sword, the thunder power transformed into various types of blades, spears, and swords that rained down like a violent storm, obscuring the sky.

The stunning energy fluctuations spread out, causing the air to explode.

As the scene unfolded, the two were taken aback and quickly unleashed their own techniques.

“The Desert Diamond Treasure Blade!”

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Out of panic, the two unleashed their attacking moves, just hoping to block the barrage of blades falling from the sky.

In the next moment, the two sides clashed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound was like the simultaneous firing of countless heavy cannons. Thunder raged and roared, causing sand and sword Qi to tremble violently. Occasionally, residual waves escaped and shattered the ground, while waves of air swept across the world.

Crocodile let out a roar, harnessing the power of the Sand-Sand Devil Fruit, but the diamond treasures made of sand were overwhelmed by the flood of the lightning blades. The electricity left him numb and helpless.

Even the top swordsman and master of Haki, Momonga, found it difficult to fend off these relentless attacks. He shattered the weapons transformed by the thunder into pieces with ease but was forced to use Busoshoku Haki to offset the rest of the attack. Nonetheless, his body was tough enough to resist the residual shocks.

“Thunder Sword Intent can actually achieve this?!” Momonga’s eyes were filled with shock and doubt.

Why did sword intent transform into weapons like swords and spears? But before he could dwell on his questions, he had to focus on the stormy thunder attack that didn’t stop yet.

Momonga had to occasionally help Crocodile, who was unable to use Haki, resist some of the attacks, which put a great deal of pressure on him. He soon felt exhausted, and his movements began to show signs of fatigue.

Boom!

In the midst of a dazzling lightning storm, the ground was completely blackened. Robin and the others could only see thunder and electric arcs, with brilliant light. It was as if divine punishment had struck!

However, the initiator was not entirely satisfied.

“This move consumes too much physical strength and the damage is not that great.”

“Against an enemy like Momonga, who has a strong physique and is proficient in Haki, at most, it can only wear him out and weaken his state.”

Rhodes pondered for a while, gradually ceasing the release of thunder.

If he continued, he feared that he wouldn’t be able to stand it, and he himself would be the first to collapse. 

Moreover, the effect had already been achieved. Even with the Momonga’s help, Crocodile had already been seriously injured by the thunder.

The battlefield gradually quieted down.

Momonga breathed a sigh of relief as he shattered the last lightning spear. However, as he surveyed the surrounding area, his eyes widened in shock.

The entire area within hundreds of meters was blackened, and cracks ripped across the earth, evidence of the thunderous weapons’ devastating power.

“With moves like this, even the mightiest Marines officers will be swept aside if their strength is lacking.”

Momonga’s expression turned serious as he spoke.

While Rhodes’ technique may not have threatened him, it could be a destructive blow to slightly weaker officers. Quantity would be of no use for such a move.

“Thunder power truly lives up to its name as a power of heavenly might.”

Momonga watched as Rhodes land gracefully on the ground, while taking a deep breath and calming down. He then turned to Rhodes and asked, “I don’t understand why you had a conflict with Crocodile in the first place.”

Momonga couldn’t believe that someone who had been taken in as a disciple by Gion could be such a heinous criminal.

“Beat me, and you’ll know the answer.”

Rhodes stood tall with his sword and said with a calm voice.

He realized now that he had underestimated the top vice admirals of the Navy.

Characters like Diamante and Nightblade were generally halfway into the system, with flaws in their strength or physical strength. But the vice admirals of the Navy, like the Momonga, received comprehensive training from a young age.

Under the guidance of peak individuals like Zephyr, they had not missed anything, be it the Rokushiki, physical strength, or Haki.

The vice admirals might have varying levels of strength, but they were all well-rounded and could handle any unexpected situation.

While pirates like the Four Emperors may have innate talent, the Marines’ middle, and high-level combat strength would never falter, maintaining a constant state of suppression over pirates.
