"Name, Yarisugi, Evil Detective Assistant, start of the investigation!"Said James as he ran to the boat while everyone was still distracted.
At the same time a woman with bat ears with pointed fangs, a height of 50cm, purple skin with large disproportionate red eyes, white hair in a bun, dressed in a long black skirt, black trench coat and black heel appeared behind James with a typewriter in front of her as her pupils turned slightly redder.
She laughed gloomily before she started typing on the keys of her typewriter.
In the meantime, Yarisugi had come to his senses, his face turned red with anger, he looked at James with an expression so angry that his eyes turned red.
"Die!"
He was furious, what will headquarters say when they learn of the death of a celestial dragon? A suspension? A simple dismissal? No, he'll get killed!
James had just signed Yarasugi's death warrant!
With one step he walked half the distance to James who had just boarded the boat, then a second step appeared behind him as his sword sliced through the air towards James as if to cut him in half.
But at the last moment James managed to dodge his attack.
A large bleeding wound appeared on James' back, he moved back about ten steps, then put himself in a defensive position while deploying his Nen out of his body, releasing a feeling of malevolence that stopped Yarisugi who wanted to attack him again.
Trisha, higher up on the observation post, unfurled the sails before descending from the running mast to the navigation helm.
She suddenly felt a malevolent aura and looked at James and Yarisugi further away.
"We're in trouble..." Then without hesitation she turned the helm, the boat started to leave the harbor.
"What are you idiots doing, chase them!" Yarisugi's shout on the boat woke up the guards who were still in shock.
"Catch the murderers!"
"Damn slave!"
The guards rushed to the warehouses and started to take out dozens of ships.
Meanwhile, Yarisugi watched James carefully.
"What is this feeling, I feel like I'm naked in the winter, I'm stronger than him, but yet he gives me this feeling, and what is this thing behind him why is it looking at me? Is it an ability of a devil fruit?"
James' voice suddenly came to these ears, interrupting his thoughts.
"My ability is called, Evil Assistant Detective, the second effect of my ability is to deprive my target of 30% of his power!"
Evil Assistant Detective's scarlet eyes stared at Yarisugi while frantically typing on his typewriter.
Yarasugi hearing this immediately felt his physical energy dwindling, he even felt that his fighting skills had diminished, he couldn't hold his sword as easily as before.
"I must hurry up and kill him!" Without paying attention to James's aura, Yarisugi rushed towards him, but this time with less speed, allowing James to distinguish his movements.
James also ran towards Yarisugi dodged his sword swing., then kicked him in the abdomen, but Yarisugi who was pushed backwards managed to catch James's foot with his left hand and then changed the trajectory of the blade towards James' neck.
But as the blade was inches away from James' blow, Yarisugi suddenly felt a resistance, as if the blade of his sword was held by a rubber membrane, James taking advantage of this moment, made a slight jump with his free foot and turned abruptly to the side throwing a second kick towards Yarisugi's face, but Yarisugi quickly lowered his head and punched him in the stomach.
"Agh!"
James then spat a sip of blood on Yarisugi's face and Yarisugi, who was losing his sight, unconsciously released him, but before James could react Yarisugi struck his face with the wrist of his sword, projecting James backwards.
While clenching his teeth James took advantage of the inertia of Yarisugi's blow and straightened himself up on his feet before being thrown into the sea by the force of the blow, he then looked at Yarisugi more cautiously.
"He's very strong, even without 30% of his power, I'm not his opponent, if I hadn't used the Gyô to protect my neck earlier I would have surely died, but because of that my defense has become more fragile, his blow broke all my ribes".
James spat out five of his bloody teeth on the ground, then cried out:
"The third effect of my Meistersinger ability allows me to appropriate my opponent's 30% power!"
E.D.A's eyes behind became even more scarlet.
James' aura, physical strength, speed and senses suddenly increased.
When Yarisugi saw this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"What is this perverse ability?!"
James felt the power running through his body and rushed towards Yarisugi, taking a starting position similar to those of karate practitioners.
"Hyakumaigawara Seiken!"
The air around his fist shook, the vibration produced was transmitted to the water droplets suspended in the void before it exploded.
*Boom*
A fairly strong shock wave propagated through the air passing through Yarisugi's body before pushing him out of the boat.
"Ouch!"
Blood gushed from Yarisugi's mouth, nose and ears as he managed to stabilize himself in the air walking on air.
"Geppo!"
James recognized immediately, the move Yarisugi had used.
Yarisugi, still walking in the air following the boat, let himself fall towards James, he swung his sword down, then did a dozen saltoes whose inertia reinforced the power of his slash.
James saw Yarisugi's attack coming at full speed towards him, so he concentrated all his aura in his right fist, then punched in the direction of Yarisugi.
*Bang*
*Creak* *Creak*
James' fist and Yarisugi's sword collided, breaking the ship's deck and the mast, causing Trisha to lose control of the ship.
