----------
Beckman pushed up his glasses: "Check this out." His Gan & Mo suddenly used Flash followed by his ultimate, four flying swords accurately hitting Zhen Ji.
Aokiji's screen instantly turned gray, but he just shrugged: "Arara... so troublesome..."
The bottom lane showdown was the most intense.
Sengoku's Luban No.7 hid behind Tsuru's Cai Yan, his machine gun continuously spitting "da da da".
Yasopp's Lady Sun kept rolling and shooting, every shot landing near Luban's feet.
"Fleet Admiral, be careful!" Tsuru's Cai Yan suddenly used her ultimate, the green sound waves blocking Lady Sun fatal blow.
Sengoku's beard bristled with anger: "Damn it! That kid's marksmanship is too accurate!"
Yasopp typed in the public chat: [Compared to a sniper rifle, shooting on a phone is much simpler~]
Just as the battles in the three lanes were in full swing, the confrontation in the jungle had escalated to a scary level:
Kizaru's Wukong cleared the jungle at light speed, his every stored staff attack and staff jump calculated precisely to the millisecond, while Shanks's Li Bai, relying on his ability to see the future, could always complete counter-kills in the most dangerous positions.
In front of the Tyrant pit,
Golden and cyan energies collided intensely, lighting up the entire river like daytime.
Kizaru's Wukong moved skillfully along the edge of the dragon pit, his Golden Staff spinning in his hand to create a dazzling halo of light.
His pupils slightly got smaller, his fingertip hovering above the Smite button—now!
The golden light of Smite cut through the air, and the Tyrant's health instantly hit bottom.
"Got it..." Kizaru's mouth curved upwards, but the smile froze suddenly before it could fully form.
Shanks's Li Bai leaped out from the shadows almost at the same time, the sword energy storm of [Flickering Flurry] swept through the entire dragon pit, harvesting the last sliver of the low-health Tyrant's HP.
Two pillars of light showing level-up shot into the sky, and both of them reached level 15 at the same time!
"Arara~ I was predicted, huh~" Kizaru's sunglasses reflected a dangerous light, his fingers blurring across the equipment slots—Guardian Angel swapped for Blade of the Renowned, Blade of the Renowned swapped for Moonstone, his full build swapped in an instant.
Shanks's Li Bai was equally strong, Shadow Axe swapped for Blade of Ruin, Bloodsucker swapped for Sage's Refuge.
When the dust from the fallen Tyrant settled, the two top powerhouses had completed their ultimate gear swaps and engaged in a thrilling duel in the center of the dragon pit!
Wukong's Ruyi Golden Staff clashed fiercely with Li Bai's Azure Lotus Sword, making everyone watching's blood boil!
Kizaru's light-speed operations made Sun Wukong's skills connect seamlessly, while Shanks's ability to see the future made Li Bai's every movement perfect to the millisecond.
The most amazing clash occurred at the thirty-seventh second—Kizaru suddenly Flashed over the wall, Shanks used [Stupor Slash] to pursue almost at the same time, and Wukong responded by swinging his staff to hit Li Bai's wine gourd, leaving both of them critically low on health!
Marine Headquarters held its breath, everyone speechless, stunned by this jungle king showdown that went beyond human limits.
The entire jungle was lit up by the two's skill effects, golden staff shadows and cyan sword energy intertwined, leaving the watching Marines and Pirates shocked.
"Is this... the clash of top powerhouses..." Popcorn spilled all over the ground from a recruit's hand.
"This show... is too exciting!"
"I've decided, from now on I'm going to practice Monkey King in the jungle."
...
At 16 minutes into the match, the Shadow Overlord refreshed,
Both sides started a 5v5 team fight in the middle lane river:
Kizaru's Wukong entered with a stored staff attack, knocking back three people with one swing;
Shanks's Li Bai followed up with an entry, targeting Sengoku's Luban directly;
Beckman's Gan & Mo landed all four swords, instantly killing Aokiji;
Lucky Roux's Cheng Yaojin activated his ultimate, tanking tower damage to force-kill Garp;
Finally, Yasopp's Lady Sun completed the cleanup, and the Red Hair Pirates made a 2 for 4 trade.
Even though Kizaru had some light-speed operations, in the face of a team fight, it was like distant water that couldn't quench a nearby thirst,
This is a team game, not your personal show!
Although Kizaru's individual plays repeatedly suppressed Shanks, the Red Hair Pirates' overall teamwork was superior:
Beckman's Gan & Mo was hitting every shot;
Yasopp's Lady Sun was perfectly farmed;
Lucky Roux's Cheng Yaojin had become unkillable.
At 21 minutes into the match, the Red Hair Pirates had pushed onto the high ground, and although Kizaru's Wukong resisted fiercely, killing two people, he was ultimately unable to turn the tide.
Victory!
The Red Hair Pirates took the first game!
After the match,
Shanks let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "That was a close win..."
Kizaru pushed up his sunglasses: "Arara~ Losing to someone who can see the future isn't shameful, is it~"
Sengoku slumped back in his chair, his frog-shaped glasses sliding down to the tip of his nose: "Still... lost, huh..."
On the execution platform, Ace raised his head, a spark of hope reigniting in his eyes.
...
After a short break, the second game began!
After the match started, the Marine side quickly fell into a complete disadvantage.
Although Kizaru's Wukong gained an advantage in the jungle through light-speed operations, in every crucial team fight moment, Shanks could always set up plays in advance by seeing the future using his Observation Haki.
Li Bai's unpredictable movements and precise skill casts repeatedly caused Kizaru's engages to miss.
"Arara~ Seen through again, huh~" Kizaru looked at his wasted ultimate and pushed up his sunglasses helplessly.
He had clearly predicted Li Bai's movement just now, but the opponent seemed to have known in advance and used his second skill to dodge the fatal blow.
What was even worse was the situation in the other lanes:
In the bottom lane, Sengoku's Luban No.7 was already 0-5-0, suppressed by Yasopp's Lady Sun to the point where he couldn't leave the tower. Every time he wanted to last hit a minion, he would get shot for half his health.
"Sengoku," Tsuru's Cai Yan desperately healed Luban, "Could you... perhaps dodge skills a little?"
Sengoku's old face turned red: "...Tsuru, this is me strategically drawing fire."
...
In the top lane,
Garp's "acting" behavior was simply textbook level. His Dun strode with an arrogant walk, swaggering toward the enemy defense tower.
"Iron Fist of Love!" Garp suddenly roared, scaring Sengoku, who was drinking water nearby, into a coughing fit. Dun used Flash to charge under the tower and started wildly hacking at the full-health Cheng Yaojin.
Lucky Roux stared in shock, a chicken leg falling onto his keyboard: "Vice Admiral Garp... I'm not level four yet..."
But Garp's Dun seemed not to notice his rapidly decreasing health and continued to tap dance under the tower. The defense tower's laser combined with Cheng Yaojin's axe easily secured the kill.
First Blood!
Akainu on the spectator stand exploded, lava spewing from his nostrils: "Garp!!!" He grabbed Aokiji by the collar, "Look what this old geezer is doing?!"
Aokiji lazily glanced at the 0-1-0 score: "Arara... maybe it's a bout of senile dementia..."
After Garp came back to life, his plays became even more crazy. His Dun ignored the minion wave and headed straight for the enemy jungle.
In the blue buff bush, he "accidentally met" Beckman who was farming jungle creeps, and Garp immediately charged forward excitedly.
