CHAPTER 24
FEW MİNUTES AGO
Alexander had narrowly saved his head from Battler's clutches. That weak-looking guy suddenly turned into a gigantic beast. Battler's bloodshot merciless gaze was on Alexander.
"Hooo, so you have devil fruit powers."
"Who knows."
Alexander started to attack again, Battler waved his claw at Alexander when he saw this, but Alexander was slightly faster than him and managed to dodge the huge claw, and now it was Alexander's turn to attack. He passed under Battler's arm and charged towards his stomach, and Alexander's sharp claws sent out four white claw energy. This sharp energy was made out of compressed wind last time; this is how he cut Kreegan without touching him.
Alexander thought he slashed past him, but all his claws managed to do was leave some marks on his golden fur. Battler swung his arm to hit Alexander, who was walking behind him, but realizing this, Alexander did a backflip and dodged his attack.
Seeing this, Battler started getting angry and attacked with reckless abandon, and he didn't care about defense at all. None of his attacks hit, but Alexander's claws could not penetrate his fur either.
"Hahah, your pathetic devil fruit powers couldn't beat my limitless power. I have become the King of the beasts."
Battler threw another claw and again missed Alexander, but his claw hit the ground and shattered it.
"See, this is my magnificent power! HAHAH!"
Battler raised both of his fists and hammered the ground, and this caused the ground to shatter with spider web cracks. Because of this, Alexander's lost his balance a bit. Taking advantage of this opening, Battler could finally inflict a shallow cut on Alexander with the tip of his horn.
Realizing that the fight wasn't going the way he wanted, Alexander started attacking areas where he thought the skin would be thin, such as the armpits, face, and behind the joints. He was finally able to draw blood when he attacked the back of Battler's right knee, but the scratch wouldn't even pass as a paper cut. But this cut must have caught Battler's attention, so he started to fight a little more carefully.
"Seriously, I don't even know you. Why do you want to hurt this Earl? No, no, no, no, I am not an Earl anymore. Why do you want to hurt this King?"
Hearing this, Alexander's anger exploded in an instant. He created the most compressed wind he could control and wrapped it around the tip of his claw.
Alexander pretended to attack the back of Battler's knee again, and seeing this, Battler lowered his hand to defend his knee. Alexander abruptly changed course and leaped into Battler's face, using his arm as a stepping stone.
He held his hand like a blade and released the compressed air in his claws right at Battler's face. The big white wave of energy rushed at Battler's face and created a serious wound on his right eye, starting from his forehead to his cheek; with it came an agonizing scream. Battler started to lash out and tried to keep Alexander away from himself.
"AAAaa! What kind of zoan power do you have? How are you able to control the wind?"
"Do you think I am an idiot like you? Why would I tell you to want my power is."
Alexander had eaten a really rare kind of zoan fruit, and it was called neko neko no mi, model: Byakko (White Tiger of the West). It was not an ordinary zoan fruit but a mythological zoan fruit. That is why he had special powers Byakko had control over wind and fog. Right now, Alexander couldn't control fog, and his control over wind was minimal since he couldn't fully transform yet. All he could transform for now were his arms and teeth.
Right this moment, light dawned on Battler, and he realized who Alexander was. With a surprised look, he pointed at him and asked while forgetting his pain.
"Aren't you John Tempest's son? Why are you still alive? You should have died with your family."
"At last, you remember. Now you are going to be on your way knowing who killed you, and I am going to rip your head off."
Battler said in a panic.
"Wait, wait... I didn't kill your family. I am not the one responsible for that."
Hearing this, Alexander hesitated for a moment and tried to understand what he was saying. At this moment, Battler continued to speak.
"Your mother was the one who killed your family."
Alexander couldn't make sense of anything that was said.
"Your mother is the one responsible for your family's death. If she didn't give your father an ultimatum and made him come back, I would have gone long ago. To tell you the truth, I have already found another zoologist who has been researching Crown Island. If your father hadn't returned, I would have already left Kumon Town to fund that zoologist's expeditions, and I would have nothing to do with your family. I can't thank your mother enough. Thanks to her, I didn't have to find a new zoologist and found the island so much easier."
"What kind of bullshit are you talking about!"
"I know it might sound like bullshit chitchat, but that is because it is bullshit. I was just wasting time so my eye would heal. HAHAHAH!"
He wiped his eye with his arm, and when the blood was cleaned, his eye had turned to normal. Seeing this, Alexander could not control himself and let his anger control him. As a result, he recklessly charged at Battler. Battler was expecting this, and with fast action, he grabbed Alexander's arm and impaled him right at the shoulder. Battler's red-hot horn penetrated his skin and muscle while burning him. All Alexander could do was scream in pain and half pass out.
At that moment, Battler felt danger coming from his left and dodged back while shaking his horn free from Alexander's shoulder. Kreegan caught Alexander's semi-conscious body in midair and quickly set him aside.
