Capítulo 113: Chapter 113: Breaking the Enemy
"Neutralize?"
Is this not the ability of the "Horo Horo no Mi"?
Unyielding, Rosinante's figure flashed forward, utilizing the "Silent Supersonic" ability brought by his "Silent" power, and appeared in front of the CP9 agent. He swung the Sandai Kitetsu fiercely onto the opponent's shoulder.
This time, Rosinante, who was fully focused, felt that when his weapon made contact with the opponent, the CP9 agent's skin, muscles, and even bones... all "softened" in an instant, then followed the trajectory of his strike and began to move and roll.
If the body could move at the same speed as the slashing blade, no matter how fast the blade was, it wouldn't be able to harm anyone!
Swish!
As the blade flashed, there was no blood on the Sandai Kitetsu, only a man spinning in front of Rosinante.
And after dodging Rosinante's attack and absorbing the force from the strike, this spinning agent wielded his fist, adding his own strength to Rosinante's and retaliated.
Boom!
His fist pounded the air, creating concentric circles of white shockwaves. The already battered deck was scattered into splinters, and Rosinante, who had retreated at high speed, couldn't help but nod in admiration.
"Good!"
With a body forged by thousands of strikes and unparalleled skills, he could transfer and absorb the damage from attacks.
It was like an otherworldly version of the "Qiankun Da Nuo Yi" (Heavenly Da Nuo)!
However—
"Skills are still just skills, not Devil Fruit abilities."
If it were a genuine "Horo Horo no Mi," no matter how fast you moved, you wouldn't be able to harm the person! But if it was just a skill, it would inevitably be limited by various aspects of the user.
If Rosinante's Armament Haki were a bit stronger, even if the opponent used rotation to deflect most of the damage, the remaining small portion would be enough to break through his defense.
If his Observation Haki could accurately capture the moment when the opponent initiated "Kami-e," he could launch a fatal blow before the opponent was fully prepared.
Four ounces can move a thousand jin, but only if you have at least four ounces!
"Give up,"
"The difference in strength between us is not that great."
The ordinary CP9 agent's muscles contracted and expanded with his breathing, combining both the toughness of steel and the flexibility of feathers, allowing him to perform techniques that were similar to Devil Fruit abilities.
"Indeed, impressive techniques."
In Rosinante's "sight," which could cut through steel, he couldn't see any flaws in this man whose muscles constantly moved with his breathing!
More accurately, it was in his breath that the tiny vibrations of his muscles made the "flaws" on his body continuously shift.
Everything is a technique, all for the purpose of defeating stronger opponents.
"To break your technique, two moves are enough."
Huh?!
In the face of Rosinante's declaration, the ordinary CP9 agent, Tongo, suddenly became serious. He clenched his fists and assumed a stance.
His entire body seemed to transform from an ordinary stone into a dazzling diamond with each breath he took.
"I want to see how you can break my 'Kami-e: Shoshiki'!"
With a flicker of his figure, Rosinante launched another attack at a speed surpassing that of bullets, causing Tongo, who was fully focused, to shrink back.
Here it comes!
It was a horizontal slash—
In the next moment, the Sandai Kitetsu swept through, but as soon as the blade made contact with the CP9 agent's skin, he began to rotate in sync with Rosinante's slashing motion! His lightweight yet tough body moved almost at the same speed as the swinging blade.
Even if it was the Haki-infused demonic sword, it couldn't harm him!
Not only that, but Rosinante's power was also absorbed by him, turning into a more powerful counterattack.
This was his proud "Kami-e: Shoshiki" technique, which had both offensive and defensive capabilities—
However, while Rosinante was slashing horizontally, he stomped heavily on the ground!
The already battered deck exploded into fragments that radiated outwards like bullets in the sound of a crack. Countless wood chips shot in all directions like bullets.
This was a deadly crisis for ordinary people, but for the two fighters in battle, it was merely an itch.
However, in doing so, both of them lost their footing!
Swish—
The black-red light shone again as Rosinante, after his first attack missed, swiftly executed a second slash!
This time, the fluid second slash was a vertical cut from top to bottom.
Huh?!
Because of Rosinante's first slash, the CP9 agent who was spinning horizontally widened his eyes in surprise! He didn't expect the opponent to slash a second time so quickly, and it was a vertical cut—
His "Kami-e: Shoshiki" relied on an incredibly flexible yet tough body, absorbing and neutralizing attacks through rotation. Now, he was rotating horizontally and needed to counteract the vertical slash!
"Geppou!"
In this critical moment, the CP9 agent, who had no place to gain leverage, suddenly stepped on the air, turning his entire body upside down like a windmill, rotating around his waist.
But it was too late.
The hasty change in rotation was not perfect, and Sandai Kitetsu cut through his shoulder, then deeply into his torso! It tore through his skin, muscles, and bones as it descended—
Splat!
Amidst the splattering blood, Rosinante's hands held the sword and swung forward;
As the CP9 agent, whose shoulder had been torn, fell into the cabin, he said with certainty:
"Well done!"
Next time, next time for sure...
?!
"Impossible! Jeyin is our second-strongest among us!" The Zoan-type Animal System user flying in the sky couldn't accept it. This CP9, who looked ordinary, was the second strongest among their generation of CP9 agents.
As for the first one, he had been knocked out by Dragon's punch...
No, this couldn't go on like this.
The Zoan user's gaze shifted, trying to get other colleagues to come and help. However, what met his eyes was:
A sky filled with flying pink hair, like a shower of cherry blossoms.
Although the hair controlled by "Life Return" was slightly stronger than steel, it was still overcome by Doflamingo's Haki-infused strings.
Thump—
As Doflamingo snapped his famous hair, "Weeping Willow," like a whip, the "Mountain Witching Sorceress," who had taken a hit from the whip, was sent flying like a cannonball. After smashing a large hole in the ship's side, she crashed heavily into the sea.
"Don't come any closer!"
Another CP9 member, a half-human, half-bear giant, saw his comrade's defeat and actually grabbed someone nearby to threaten Doflamingo.
And the hostage he took was none other than Gladiolus, the boy who could barely protect himself in the midst of the melee.
"Hey hey hey, isn't this too funny?"
"CP9 actually kidnaps hostages? Aren't you supposed to kill me? Come on—"
Facing Doflamingo, who approached with open hands, the CP9 agent, half-human and half-bear, showed a hint of fear on his face.
This guy was too strong! Whether it was his Devil Fruit ability or the extent of his Haki... how could he be just a teenager?
"Stop right there, isn't this guy your comrade?"
Holding Gladiolus in his hand, the CP9 member tightened his grip on the boy's neck to reduce the potential target area. He even reverted from his half-beast form to minimize the possibility of being attacked.
"Let me go, and I'll let—"
"Don't move, Gladiolus."
Raising his hand and extending his index finger, Doflamingo's words made Gladiolus, who was biting his teeth tightly, hesitate.
Splat!
With a flash of light, Gladiolus's body trembled, and his chest was pierced.
"Sacred Vicious Bullet!"
This attack was too fast. Gladiolus, who was held as a hostage, and the CP9 agent behind him didn't react until they felt the intense pain in their chests. It was only then that they realized what had happened.
Doflamingo, Big Brother...
Damn it, he used the hostage as a shield and...
"Very good,"
Just as Doflamingo released his finger, Gladiolus and the CP9 agent collapsed onto the deck simultaneously. Then, a shadow flashed by, a figure with wings suddenly cut across the sky, and it grabbed the fallen Gladiolus in its talons.
"Kirisame - Hane..."
As Rosinante, who was chasing quickly from behind, was about to swing Sandai Kitetsu again, the Zoan user in the air suddenly made a flexible turn, aiming the Gladiolus caught in his talons at Rosinante's back.
?!
With a forceful twist of his wrist, he forcefully changed the trajectory of the flying slash that Rosinante had already swung, and it landed next to the deck, instantly creating a smooth crack in the ship's side.
"Hahaha, this hostage belongs to me now."
The Zoan user, holding the boy, Gladiolus, flew away towards the sea.
The five CP9 agents, who were initially in the lead, had been defeated one by one by Dragon, Tang Jikeide with a knife, Doflamingo wearing sunglasses, Tang Jikefujian wielding a staff, and Doflamingo again...
Now, he was the only one left. Would he just stand still and wait for death?
"Stay!"
Seeing his assigned CP9 agent flying away with Gladiolus as a shield, Rosinante rushed to the side of the ship and silently leaped out, following closely behind.
"It's useless; I have wings—"
With a flexible turn in the air, the Zoan user managed to evade Rosinante's leap.
Did he think that would be enough to escape?
With a determined gaze, Rosinante released his "Silent Ability" in mid-air.
Boom!
A white sound wave suddenly appeared behind him. While it caused Rosinante to stumble for a moment, it also provided him with a temporary "ground" to stand on.
"Sky Walk!"
With a forceful stomp on the white sound wave, Rosinante executed a mid-air turn and once again caught up to the flying CP9 member, Sandai Kitetsu gleaming with deadly intent.
Danger!
Faced with Rosinante charging at him with black-red Haoshoku Haki, the CP9 agent with Zoan powers felt a chill run through his body. Instinctively, he threw Gladiolus, whom he had been holding, towards the approaching Rosinante.
They were already out of the ship's range, and since both Tang Jikeide and Tang Jikefujian had Devil Fruit abilities, using a hostage as an obstacle should allow them to escape smoothly—
Splat!
A flash of light passed by, and the CP9 agent with a trembling chest turned his head with difficulty. What he saw was Doflamingo on the ship's deck, gesturing as if firing a gun with his index finger.
"Sacred Vicious Bullet!"
The black hawk plummeted.
On the other side, facing Gladiolus being thrown towards him, Rosinante, who had been prepared to strike, suddenly eased his momentum and reached out to catch him.
Thud,
With one foot landing on the sea's surface, Rosinante, without hesitation, turned around and flew back to the merchant ship.
Even while carrying a person, his current strength allowed him to easily walk on water.
Swish,
Returning to the merchant ship with a leap, he placed Gladiolus on the remaining section of the deck.
"Are you okay?"
Facing Rosinante's inquiry, the boy lying on the deck clenched his lips tightly, letting the blood flow from the corners of his mouth while tears swirled in his eyes.
"Rosinante... big brother, I didn't... hold you back..."
"What are you saying?"
Rosinante helplessly rubbed the stubborn boy's face on the deck.
"When you're in danger, you should shout for help, you idiot!"
"If we can't even save our comrades, what's the point of our family's existence?"
?!
But, Big Brother Doflamingo...
"Make way,"
With a stern face, Doflamingo appeared behind Rosinante, crouched down, and extended his hand toward Gladiolus.
As Doflamingo's palm passed over the wound on Gladiolus's chest, which was continuously bleeding, the wound was sutured.
"Hmph,"
Standing up, turning around, and leaving.
After Doflamingo walked away, Rosinante shrugged and explained to the boy on the deck.
"Just now, Doflamingo deliberately avoided your vital points with his attacks and took down the CP9 member holding you as a hostage. Although this rescue method is the best solution, it's too dangerous. I apologize on his behalf."
"Waaah~~~"
Rather than sadness, Gladiolus, who was lying on the deck, burst into tears after the explanation.
It wasn't because he was sad; it was because he was relieved.
When the Line Bullet pierced his chest just now, his entire heart had instantly turned cold.
"That... that's great..."
"I thought... I thought... Big Brother Doflamingo..."
