Chapitre 107: 106 Mythical Zoan, Bat-Bat Fruit Model: Vampire
As the two flew into the sky, Burgess, Shiryu, and the others watched them with heavy expressions.
Simply because this time their opponent was Red Count.
Red Count, much like Whitebeard, was the most powerful figure of the previous era.
If it weren't for the fact that he doesn't pursue fame and fortune, then there must be a place for him in the Four Emperors.
"I wonder if Captain Blackbeard can become the winner this time"
Gion, who had remained silent until now, said, curiosity gleaming in her eyes.
...
The Red Count and Blackbeard confronted each other in the sky
The fighting intent revealed in their eyes made the surrounding area quiet.
They seemed to be the main point of the entire world.
"Blackbeard, you truly are surprising"
Red Count dropped his previous relaxed demeanor. From their recent clash, he realized that Blackbeard was more troublesome than he had initially thought.
"Yeah? This is just the start. I'm curious to see if you can truly surprise me"
Blackbeard replied with a faint smile.
Red Count was stunned for a moment when he heard Blackbeard's words.
He hadn't heard words like that in many years.
Then he laughed loudly, "Hahaha, you're truly arrogant. My strength won't disappoint you."
After speaking, he extended his arm, which transformed into a swarm of bats.
"Bat Teeth!"
He shouted, as dense bats come forth from his arms, transforming into a massive vampire bat.
The vampire bat open up its sharp teeth and lunged at Blackbeard, ready to bite.
"2 billion volts!"
Blackbeard exclaimed, as thunder crackled on his palm.
A thunderbolt crackling with terrifying energy descended from the sky, directly colliding with the massive vampire bat.
Boom!!!
There was a loud explosion in the air.
Even from afar, the impact created a massive vortex in the sea below them.
This demonstrates the huge power behind their attacks.
After Red Count tested his opponent, the determination in his eyes grew even stronger.
"I haven't faced such a strong opponent in a long time. This is really exciting!"
Red Count's form vanished from its spot, reappearing in front of Blackbeard in the blink of an eye.
At that moment, a pair of vampire wings sprouted from his back, propelling him with such speed that he nearly caught up to Blackbeard, who possessed the Thunder Fruit ability.
"So fast!"
Catarina Devon exclaimed as she witnessed the Red Count's speed. Even her, with Mythical Nine Tail Demon Fox, can't reach such speed
Then the Red Count threw a punch.
His fist pierced Blackbeard's body directly, the point of impact crackling with pulsating thunder.
"Thunderstorm!"
Blackbeard shouted coldly, unleashing a large amount of thunder and lightning from his body, engulfing the Red Count.
"Red Count was tricked? "
Gion exclaimed
"Apparently not..."
Kuzan observed the battle situation with solemn eyes.
In a flash of thunder, Blackbeard reappeared a hundred meters away. Meanwhile, a barrage of thunderbolts continued to bombarding the spot where he had been standing.
The thunder's violent force was fast
Blackbeard narrowed his eyes slightly, as from what he observed and heard, it seemed the Red Count remained unharmed.
"Haha!"
Soon, a figure emerged from the thunderstorm.
Red Count's body appeared to be wrapped in blood. As he come out, the blood transformed into his vampire wings once more.
"I was almost tricked by you! "
Red Count sighed.
If he hadn't sensed the danger and activated his defensive ability in advance, he might have suffered a huge loss just now.
"So, there's still this kind of defensive ability"
Blackbeard nodded with some satisfaction.
His expression remained surprisingly calm. If just one attack could injure Red Count, he would be genuinely surprised.
"Vampire Bats!"
Red Count appeared angered by Blackbeard's earlier move.
With this technique, his body transformed into countless blood-red bats. Agile and many, they began to swarm around Blackbeard, launching continuous and tentative attacks.
His blood bats was the same as when he touched others. It could absorb a person's lifespan and cause the other person to age rapidly!
"Thunder Dragon!"
A thunderous roar as a dragon of lightning surged towards the swarm of bats. Surprisingly, the bats swiftly absorbed the thunder dragon as if it were their prey.
"Can it still devour lightning?"
Blackbeard's face showed a hint of surprise.
Red Count's technique seemed somewhat similar of his own Dark Fruit ability to devour things.
"I want to see if you can swallow vibrations!"
Blackbeard sneered, then threw a punch.
"Crack, crack, crack!"
Dense cracks began to form in front of him.
The invisible force of vibration surged into the swarm of bats.
Then, the swarm of bats transformed back into the figure of Red Count once more.
Blackbeard's action disrupted the Red Count's skill.
"The ability to have multiple Devil Fruits abilities is truly tricky,"
Red Count remarked with a solemn expression.
"Now it's my turn to attack."
"Thunderstorm Star-Shattering Fist!"
A smile appeared on Blackbeard's lips as he raised his fist once more. Simultaneously, his arm transformed entirely into dense lightning.
"It's Captain Blackbeard's fruit fusion technique!"
Avalo Pizarro was amazed when he witnessed it. Back then, Blackbeard used this move to instantly counter his strongest attack.
The Thunder Fruit's explosive power, combined with the tremor Fruit's ability to control vibrations in space...
"CRACK!"
Blackbeard's punch shattered the space ahead, sounding like breaking glass.
Suddenly, Red Count felt a powerful vibration around him.
Not good!
He silently muttered, then instinctively transformed into numerous bats, scattering in all directions.
"CRACK CRACK CRACK!"
As he morphed into a group of bats, the space collapsed around him, the air rushing in like water filling a hole.
People could clearly see the airflow.
Thousands of small bats released by the Red Count died instantly. Over ninety percent!
The remaining bats swiftly merged back into the form of Red Count.
Now, Red Count looked at the collapsed space, feeling a sense of fear creeping into his heart.
The shattered space seemed capable of destroying everything.
Could the tremor Fruit unleash such a devastating explosion of power?
Red Count, a legendary figure who has seen the rise and fall of many strong people from all these years, now he was deeply shocked.
Blackbeard's move made his face go pale. It was clear that the move he just narrowly avoided had caused huge loss to him.
Right after, Red Count expelled a bat from his body, which flew down to the sea below.
"Buzz…buzz…buzz..."
Everyone can hear strange sounds coming from the bat
"This is..."
Blackbeard become interest as he listened. Red Count was utilizing the bat's radar ability!
What exactly is he using the radar ability for?
Blackbeard couldn't help but feel curious.
In no time, the water on the sea surface surged, and a group of sea kings emerged!
"He's summoning the sea king!"
Kuzan exclaimed in disbelief.
Then they watched as Red Count transformed into countless vampire bats once more and flew towards the Sea kings.
He quickly dragged a Sea King from the water and relentlessly bite at it numerous times, leaving nothing but the skeleton behind!
After feasting, Red Count's figure reappeared, his pale face now back to its original color.
Surprisingly, the losses from before were completely replenished in just one gulp!
"Surprisingly, this is first time see this kind devil fruit ability on someone, and it's really amazinig"
Blackbeard said, shaking his head in disbelief.
"I never imagined the vampire form of the Mythical beast species could be this powerful!"
The eyes he looked at the Red Count became more and more greedy.
The ability to heal as a bat is just as incredible as Doflamingo's power to repair his own organs with the Thread Fruit.
And it can even be achieved by simply eating a creature, replenishing the energy drained by itself.
The Red Count has truly develop the fruit's ability to the fullest!
