Centered on Sabo, a visible dark red aura suddenly erupted!
A shockwave, as real as a physical object, instantly swept across the entire spring area!
The guards who rushed up were struck as if by an invisible giant hammer. Before they could even scream, they fell to the ground in droves, completely losing consciousness.
Apart from the high priest and a few strong temple members, all the guards were wiped out!
The smoke slowly dispersed.
Sabo stood still, his body wreathed in faint, dark red arcs of electricity, his eyes filled with disdain.
In his hands, that ordinary steel pipe seemed to transform into a divine weapon.
The high priest stared in disbelief, his hand holding the scepter trembling slightly.
The temple's key members behind him were even more pale-faced, their legs trembling.
"What...what have you done?!" The high priest's voice was filled with disbelief and terror. "What kind of power is this?!"
He had ruled the island of drunkards for decades and had seen countless powerful figures pour in from all corners of the world, but he had never seen such a strange and domineering power!
His mere burst of momentum instantly shattered all his armed forces!
If he could also wield such power... then what need would there be for the scepter?!
Sabo did not answer.
His gaze swept over the unconscious guards scattered on the ground, finally settling on the high priest's pale face.
"Now..."
He gently turned the steel pipe, pointing it at the high priest.
"now you."
The high priest instinctively took a step back, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
Damn it! Where did Lilith find these accomplices? They're just bored and have nothing better to do than undermine the temple's dominance!
What's wrong with the islanders living a life of decadence and debauchery every day?!
Drinking alcohol freely every day, you can live a life of leisure.
It's all the fault of the brewer who created the "Drops of God." Why did he have to break the established order and balance?
Indeed, it was too lenient of him to have his bones crushed and his ashes scattered. His only daughter should also be sent to hell to join him!
Lilith, clutching the wine jug, stared blankly at the scene.
Robin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a hint of carelessness flashing in his eyes; there was something seriously wrong with that scepter.
Kuina slowly sheathed her sword, pursed her lips, and thought to herself, "I miscalculated. I should have aimed my sword at my strongest enemy earlier. There was no need to use Conqueror's Haki."
From now on, I must remember to keep my eyes open; only a strong enemy can be the one to fall to my sword.
The next second, Liu Jiu felt annoyed. He realized that he had spoken up a little too early and should be more careful next time, or perhaps he should act secretly.
He silently put the tattered straw hat back on, as if nothing had happened.
Maintain a cool and aloof image.
Beside the spring, the situation instantly reversed.
Now, it's the temple's turn to taste despair.
Chapter 127 Sabo's Strength
The high priest's face turned from white to green, and then from green to black.
He gripped the scepter tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.
The scepter was entirely black, with a murky amber gem set at its top, which was now faintly emitting an ominous light.
"Arrogant outsider!" the high priest spat out through gritted teeth. "Do you think you can run rampant on Drunkard's Island with a few crooked tricks?"
He slammed his scepter to the ground!
The gem at the top of the scepter suddenly lit up!
A visible pale yellow ripple spreads out from the scepter.
Wherever the ripples passed, the aroma of alcohol in the air seemed to come alive, rushing wildly toward Sabo!
"The Breath of Dionysus!" the high priest sneered. "On this island, wine is power!"
The pale yellow smell of alcohol, like a tangible shackle, wrapped around Sabo's limbs, trying to invade his mouth and nose and numb his nerves.
Sabo frowned slightly.
He felt his body become heavy and his movements became a little slower.
This scepter is indeed strange.
"Hahaha! Can you feel the wrath of Dionysus?" The high priest laughed triumphantly. "On this island, no one can defy the power of Dionysus!"
He waved the scepter again.
More alcohol vapors converged from all directions, forming swirling air currents that trapped Sabo in the center.
It was as if countless tiny sounds were whispering and tempting in the airflow.
"Give up..."
"Drinking is so much fun..."
Why struggle...
"Enjoy life to the fullest when you're successful, lest you let your golden goblet stand empty before the moon..."
Sabo's eyes flickered with a moment of confusion.
Upon seeing this, a glint flashed in the high priest's eyes!
He leaped up, his scepter piercing Sabo's heart like a venomous snake!
The jewel at the top of the scepter gleamed with a deadly light!
“Sabo!” Lilith exclaimed.
Robin and Kuina were also on edge.
Just as the scepter was about to touch Sabo's chest—
The dazed look in Sabo's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a sharp, eagle-like glint.
"I've been waiting for you to come closer!"
Without dodging or avoiding, his left hand, covered in Armament Haki, shot out like lightning and precisely caught the scepter that was thrust at him!
The pale yellow light on the scepter clashed violently with the Armament Haki, producing a piercing sound.
The high priest's expression changed drastically. He tried to pull back the scepter, but found that it was as if it were welded to Sabo's hand and wouldn't budge!
"How is this possible?!" he exclaimed in shock. "How could the power of Dionysus..."
“Bacchus?” Sabo grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth. “I don’t know any Bacchus, nor do I pray to any gods or Buddhas for peace of mind.”
His right hand, holding a steel pipe, was already raised.
Dark red electric arcs wrapped around it again.
"I only recognize this one—"
"Dragon's Breath - Impact!"
The steel pipe, carrying devastating force, slammed down on the scepter!
The high priest's pupils contracted sharply. He gripped the scepter in his hand tightly, the murky gemstone at the top of the scepter now emitting an ominous, dark red light, like old bloodstains.
"You forced me to do this..."
He growled hoarsely, his eyes filled with madness and determination, "Since you refuse to die obediently, then let me show you the true power that has ruled this island for decades!"
The gem at the top of the scepter suddenly lit up!
An invisible wave emanated from the scepter, spreading rapidly like ripples on water, instantly enveloping the entire Island of Drunkards!
"Ugh!!"
“My head!!”
"It hurts so much!!"
Almost simultaneously, from every corner of the island, the residents who had been living a life of debauchery, regardless of age or gender, all let out shrill screams!
They clutched their heads and rolled on the ground in agony, as if countless needles were piercing their brains and tearing at their souls!
The port, the streets, the taverns... the entire island was instantly engulfed in agonizing cries!
As the countless pains nourished him, the scepter in the high priest's hand shone brighter and brighter. His originally hunched body visibly swelled up, his muscles bulged, his veins stood out, and he exuded a suffocating sense of oppression!
“Did you see that?!”
The high priest laughed maniacally, his voice like sandpaper scraping, "You think you have victory in your grasp? Let me tell you, on this island, the suffering of every drunkard will become my power!"
This time, he easily snatched the scepter from Sabo's hand, stepped back a short distance, and then brandished the scepter, which shone brightly, pointing it at Sabo:
"Now, none of you will leave Drunkard Island. Feel the wrath of this island!"
A dark red torrent of energy, like a river of blood bursting its banks, carrying countless twisted and painful shrieks of souls, surged toward Sabo!
Wherever it passed, the ground corroded and the air wailed!
Sabo's eyes narrowed. He seemed to be able to sense that this attack contained the life force and pain of countless residents on the island being forcibly extracted, evil and immense!
If it's as the high priest said...
"If you fought me fair and square, I could respect you as a true man. But you exploit the suffering of others to gain power..."
Sabo's voice turned cold. "It's disgusting!"
He will no longer hold back!
"Dragon's Breath - Tyranny!"
He took a deep breath, perfectly merging his Conqueror's Haki with his own power, wrapping it around the steel pipe, and then swung it forward with a mighty swing!
