The intense heat grazed Shanks' shoulders and ears before crashing through the sky.
Loya, a feverish patient, was in a group chat. (The rest of the text appears to be a series of fragments and incomplete sentences, possibly from different sources. A direct translation is not possible without further context or clarification.)
His throat bobbed again.
Prepare for a second bombardment.
Shanks' eyes were serious, and a red light flashed within them.
He raised his right foot, using a double-handed kick, and suddenly kicked at Loya's lower body.
Loya's eyes flashed.
'He unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, the Awareness Kill!'
'This kick won't be that simple!'
As expected... it was beyond Loya's expectations, but not entirely unexpected.
After Shanks kicked out, two pure black slashing waves shot out!
147 kicked out two slashing waves at once, one above and one below.
They attacked Loya's chest, abdomen, and lower body respectively.
These two pure black slashing waves, radiating black lightning, were no ordinary slashes; they were none other than the Twin Overlord Entangling Divine Evasion!
The ability to dodge with a kick, though a relatively minor divine dodge, truly amazed Loya!
After all, Loya is currently unable to unleash two divine evasion slashes with a single kick.
It's easy to kick out a slashing wave, since all CP9 members can use the Tempest Kick to kick out a slashing wave.
However, it's clear that the difficulty of unleashing a powerful slashing wave is vastly different from the difficulty of miraculously dodging it!
Chapter 212 My Speed Is Above Yours
Loya was already on guard.
In an instant, it vanished into thin air!
This was somewhat unexpected by Shanks.
Being fast means you can do whatever you want.
Whether attacking, retreating, or dodging, they have absolute initiative!
It can be said that in the brief exchange of those ten seconds or so, neither side gained an advantage, but Loya came out on top.
The reason is simple: Shanks used up more of his Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki.
The Divine Evasion technique is indeed very powerful, but if it fails to hit the opponent, it is a complete waste of Haki.
However, if one simply uses Haki Binding to wrap around the body or weapon, aside from some Haki being worn down and dissipated during the collision, the remaining Haki can still be recovered and continue to wrap around the body.
However, the Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki unleashed by the Divine Escape technique were completely sent flying and could not be retrieved at all!
Those who truly reach the level of the Four Emperors are the strongest individuals with the highest combat power in the One Piece world.
Their attack power is basically maxed out.
The best defense is an attack, so it can be said that defense is theoretically maximized.
In this way, what truly determines victory or defeat is often the ability to sustain combat, that is, the ability to wear down opponents.
That's how it is with top-tier fighters; in the end, it's always a war of attrition.
Therefore, Shanks uses "Energy Saving Mode" to fight with the highest efficiency in using Haki.

Moreover, given his current situation, Shanks may face a two-on-one crisis, which makes it even more important for him to conserve his resources.
And now, in their very first encounter, Loya has already tricked Shanks into sending two small divine attacks to escape.
For a moment, Shanks was secretly quite annoyed!
"Unfortunately, I'm currently faster than you!"
"You can't escape!!"
"So now I'm going to kill your crew!"
Loya's figure emerged from the air.
And immediately after the announcement, it vanished in a flash.
Shanks narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.
He immediately turned and flew away.
They completely disregarded the lives of the other crew members!
"Heh, how indifferent!"
Loya's figure reappeared above Shanks' head.
The dragon claw slashed down fiercely!
Shanks was prepared; he lifted Griffin and slashed out with his sword!
Boom!
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
Countless bolts of black lightning shot out in a winding arc!
It was yet another simple and unadorned clash of two powerful forces!
"Humph!"
Shanks gave a heavy, cold snort with a gloomy expression.
He felt there was no need to refute Loya's sarcasm!
With Shanks's intelligence, he could certainly see that Loya's announcement of killing his own crew was merely a ploy to disrupt Shanks's plans.
however.
Was Loya really trying to disrupt Shanks' plans?
As Sun Tzu's Art of War says, "Make the real appear real, and the real appear real; the interplay of reality and illusion is unpredictable!"
"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!!"
Kaido finally caught up!
He transformed into a half-beast dragon-man form, brandishing a spiked club, and unleashed a deafening roar amidst the purple and silver lightning (Dema Zhao)!
at the same time!
Loya's figure vanished in a flash!
Shanks' eyes narrowed, and with a swift movement, he slashed at the incoming lightning!
Boom! ...
Zizizi! !
Kaido, the Azure Dragon, used Thunder Bagua to clash with Shanks in a double-force attack!
The Thunderous Eight Trigrams move is a perfect combination of speed and power!
The downside is that its attack route is linear, making it too easy to be intercepted by stronger opponents.
Chapter 213 Killing Yasopp!
Shanks' two previous clashes with Loa were relatively evenly matched.
However, when it clashed with Kaido's Thunder Bagua, which was being charged up, it immediately felt the impact of the absolute power!
This is the combined impact of physical strength and linear acceleration.
This forced Shanks to wrap his feet in a large amount of Armament Haki, using it to brace himself against the sea surface and resist the inertial impact of Kaido's Thunder Bagua's absolute power and speed!
time.
Then you can see Shanks stepping on the sea surface, the immense force causing the sea to cave in.
Huge waves surged up all around.
However, the thunderous and stormy pressure created by the collision of the two giant waves pushed these 147-meter-high waves away and squeezed them out in all directions!
Boom! !
The thunderous roar of the powerful thunder mingled with the thunderous roar of the giant waves surging in all directions.
This dramatic change in the environment is clearly not a good thing for Shanks, who is currently in a one-against-two situation!
The more complex the changes in the surrounding environment, the more dynamic data the Observation Haki captures, and the less accurate the prediction of the future becomes!
To guard against Loya's swift sneak attack after disappearing, Shanks had to increase the consumption of his Observation Haki.
But Shanks was still uneasy.
He mobilized the Armament Haki (BDFI) within his body and wrapped it around his entire body.
Sure enough, the next moment!
