Ian's fight against Urgo'v was still going strong with colossal moves being used casually. Even after two days of constant fighting, no clear winner could be seen yet from the two. No one gained any advantage, but it was also shown that both were holding on to a last trump card.
That might be a key point to determine who will win this fight.
In fact, all of Ian's crewmates had won their fights, and Urgo'v had then ordered his beasts to back down since they had proved themselves as far as he knew.
Now only Ian was left.
But, his fight was quite harder than theirs.
And since no clear victor was in sight, both had decided that there was no need to prolong the fight any longer.
****
Ian was constantly flying around and dodging random pillars of ice that would break through the ground and chase after him.
This Urgo'v was giving him a headache.
No matter how much he injured him, he would recover. Even when he had chopped one whole limb, Urgo'v had arrogantly proclaimed that he would easily recover it, and he did. Mere seconds after.
Since the start of the fight until now, Ian had managed to determine what's the reason for that.
'It's the water." Ian concluded this.
He knew that whatever method of recovery it had, it definitely was related to water.
This he was sure of.
Urgo'v, seeing Ian on the passive, taunted him.
"You have become the king of the seas, yet this is all you can do?" He said, his sharp teeth visible in full. He was annoyed at Ian and angry… Even though Ian's strength was good enough that he acknowledged it, his attitude about this just wasn't.
The king of the seas…
Indeed, Ian can be called as such.
Since he had the gift of Poseidon, then he was in control of the whole seas and sea kings, and thus it's king.
Ian did hear the taunt, but he didn't bother replying nor get angry. He was not that foolish.
This Urgo'v might appear to be on a similar level to Ian, but in fact, he was stronger. A being of the fourth stage.
From the two, Ian can say for sure that the longer the fight went for, the less his chances of winning became.
There was a good reason for that…
'I can only keep this state at most for a few more hours.' Ian estimated.
Unlike this fourth stage being before him, Ian was still a third stage being, and his jump in strength was only due to his spiritual resonance state.
But that state consumed Haki at a crazy rate, and now it was the third day of using it. One could guess just how much longer he can hold on for. In fact, even this much was beyond impressive, if you took in the fact that even someone like Shanks can barely hold the state for more than a half-day.
As for Urgo'v's taunts, Ian would rather focus on how to defeat him.
And he now had found out the way how.
His eyes all of a sudden changed. They became filled with murderous intent.
The surrounding air suddenly intensified.
Urgo'v suddenly started to laugh.
"HAHAHA, now this is what I'm talking about. If you think about defeating me, this much is the least you can do." He loudly spoke up.
Ian gave a nod. His face was cold.
He knew that his previous attitude wouldn't cut it.
He was considering him his ally, so he didn't have any intent to hurt him bad, but he wouldn't win that way.
He needed to think of him as his enemy.
And Ian decided at this moment to use his all on this next attack. If he died from it, then he wouldn't care.
"I'm going to get serious now… see if you can survive this," Ian muttered. The lightning that was generated from his Raijin form started to get erratic as he started to gather a huge amount of energy.
His crewmates got a msg to step as far away as possible from this place. And they did so immediately.
But the sea king heard what Ian said loud and clear as he started to laugh.
"Come, show me what you got. But I won't just stand in place and let you do as you want hahaha" He replied back.
Similar to Ian, Urgo'v knew that it was time to start using his full power and use the trump card attack it was storing. But first, he roared at his brethren to move from his way.
The water surrounding them started to gather around him and even though the temperature kept dropping at a rapid rate, both of them didn't appear to feel anything.
The water itself didn't turn into ice even though it was way past the turning point.
The water that was moving around like a raging tornado kept fusing with the rest and new ones broke the ground and joined it but they only moved horizontally and didn't pass a height of 10 m, yet.
Urgo'v looked upwards at the flying Ian.
"This is the deciding moment."
The water around him moved in a circular shape with him in the center as if waiting for his order.
Meanwhile, Ian had become a beacon of light with how much bright he had become.
He then, while still in the sky, moved at such a speed towards the clouds above that he reached it instantly.
The clouds then separated as Ian, using every last bit of his power, sent his attack down at Urgo'v.
"If I lose this fight after this attack, then it's just fair that I give up…" If he lost then he would indeed not be worthy. He would accept that.
"Raijin no Ikari!! (Rage of the thunder god)
With Ian's signal, from the clouds, a huge completely purple lightning-bolt came down instantly onto Urgo'v's position. The pressure coming from such an attack had the ground breaking even when it hadn't reached down yet. Its size being almost three times the size of the shark sea king itself.
Similarly, Urgo'v launched the freezing liquid water at Ian in the shape of a tornado with him in its center.
The two attacks met at the middle distance and a huge explosion happened after which everyone was blinded and couldn't see what had happened.
****
Once everything cleared, the winner became visible.
From the ground, a figure limped and walked with difficulty to try to reach someplace near.
"It appears you win this time, Sea king…" Urgo'v muttered towards Ian before he lost consciousness.
His body appeared to be missing the bottom half completely. And he might die at any second.
Ian was also in a pretty bad situation, as he had lost an arm straight from the shoulder where it left freezing marks touching his neck, and he had several broken bones, ribs, and his right leg was twisted in the wrong direction which is why he was limping.
But he was recovering slowly, unlike Urgo'v.
Ian sighed.
"Since I passed this, there is no need to fight anymore, I'll heal you." He raised his hand, and even from afar, he manipulated the energy in his body to move out and try to heal him.
Since this wasn't his own energy like Haki, it didn't run out and was always reliable.
