Capítulo 55: Against CP
A few Minutes Ago,
In the desert, five men were standing in front of each other. Three of them were wearing white dresses with strange masks. The other two wore different dresses.
One had a simple t-shirt and pants. The other wore blue pants and a white jacket. With the cigar in his mouth, he stared at the opponent before him.
"White Chase"
He extended his arm and it turned into a puff of smoke. His fist burst out and moved toward the man in the white dress. He didn't target both but tried to force the man on the left away.
"Humph! It seems like being Logia gave you a lot of confidence." The man on the left sneered and raised his hand. The next moment, his hand turned pitch black as he extended his index finger.
"Finger Pistol"
His finger moved forward and slammed the smoker's fist. Because of the presence of Haki, the finger struck his fist and pierced his skin.
But, Smoker was also a cautious person. He instantly turned his fist into an element and burst it outward.
He kicked his foot on the ground and instantly appeared in front of the man on the left. He raised his hand and extended his finger, thrusting it forward.
"Finger Pistol"
"Iron Body"
"Gah!"
Although the man in the white dress had a stronger body, Smoker's abilities and strength had been improved with the help of Teen Pati. So, the man in the white dress couldn't block that attack and ended up getting injured.
The man instantly retreated with Shave while Smoker didn't hesitate to chase him.
At the same time, Zack was fighting against another member. Unlike the previous man, this man had a devil fruit and without any hesitation, he transformed into a hybrid lion.
He jumped into the air and moved his foot back. Gathering a massive amount of power into his foot, he kicked forward. His kick created a powerful vacuum whose sharpness surpassed even Zoro's sword.
"Tempest Kick"
Seeing this, Zack had already prepared his counterattack. He clenched his fist and it turned pitch black the next moment. Because his body was already strong enough to use Armament Haki, he only needed the boost of Teen Pati to use it.
He stomped his foot on the sand and bounced toward the vacuum slash and thrust his fist. His fist sharply rotated, gathering massive momentum and strength into it.
"T rex Punch"
Bang!
His fist struck the vacuum so hard that it disintegrated into air. The sharpness of the vacuum only collided against his Armament Haki but couldn't break it.
Seeing this, the man in the white dress hoarsely asked.
"How could a man who just entered the sea for a few months learn Armament Haki? Who are you? Why were you unknown before?"
Armament Haki wasn't something that some radishes and carrots could use. It symbolized the strength to enter the New World. So, for someone who had just entered Paradise, it was hard to believe that he knows Armament Haki.
But, Zack didn't say a word. He landed on the ground and instantly rushed toward the man in the white dress. At the same time, a new card appeared in front of him.
Seeing this card, the man in the white dress instantly understood the situation. His eyes quickly noticed his partner fighting against Smoker. Without a doubt, he knew that Smoker could never win against his partner.
But right now, Smoker was suppressing his partner with ease. It didn't take him long to understand the abilities of these cards.
"You have temporarily increased the strength of Smoker and yours, didn't you? Humph! Even if you have gained some strength, it is only temporary. Let me show you the strength through sheer hard work."
The man saw Zack rushing toward him with another attack and instead of dodging or fighting back, he looked at Zack with contempt and decided to block it with his Iron Body.
Seeing this, Zack couldn't help but admire this man. Even though he knew that Zack's strength has increased and he also had Armament Haki, this man still decided to use Iron Body to block his attack.
It just shows how much these people believe in those six styles.
Of course, Zack had no intention of letting him down. This time, Zack was prepared to use the strongest attack. In fact, he couldn't help but feel grateful to this man.
Because he finally got a chance to use his newest trick that he had developed for a while.
The card in front of him suddenly extended and a few words emerged on it.
[Bet Established / Requirement Achieved / Reward Vitality / Punishment Permanent Damage]
Suddenly, the words in the card disappeared and it shrunk back to its normal size and even change its appearance from blank card to Jack of Heart.
At this moment, another card appeared with a percentage written on it.
[Reward One-Third / Punishment Heart and Lungs]
Zack couldn't help but grit his teeth. At this moment, he was betting on his future all at once. But, he couldn't back down. The god had given him a perfect opportunity where his opponent had complete trust in his Iron Body.
This was the requirement for the bet. So, he must complete this bet. Because if he wavers, then he would suffer devastating consequences.
He gathered his strength onto his fist and all of his Willpower burst out in an instant. It was a burst of a powerful aura that instantly shook his opponent's heart. His eyes almost went blank for a brief moment but in this brief moment, he failed to achieve the best Iron Body.
The strength gathered at his fist and the Armament Haki instantly moved to his skin as he slammed it against the man's chest.
"God Style- Hammer Fist"
Bang-Ba-Ba-Bang!
A strange sound emerged from the collision. When the fist collided with the chest, it broke the Iron Body but that wasn't it. The fist carried a strange aftershock instantly breaking his devil fruit powers and shattering his bones.
Zack pulled his fist and his body almost fell to the ground. But, the man in front of him was still standing.
"Gah"
Suddenly, he coughed out blood and stared at Zack with disbelief on his face.
"Con-queror"
Thud!
The next moment, he fell to the ground and his eyelids closed.
In front of him, Zack was using all of his Willpower to stand up. Suddenly, a card appeared in front of him and the man. It enlarged and connect both of them with its corner.
Suddenly, Zack felt a burst of powerful energy transmitting into his body. He could feel that this energy was at least twice or three times better than his.
He looked at the man on the ground with a complicated expression and slightly bowed his head.
"You are right. Compared to my sudden burst in strength, your strength is all through hard work and dedication. But right now, we stand opposite to each other."
"So, I don't have any choices. I didn't get to know your name but I will always remember you."
Saying so, he took out a knife and pierced him. Without a doubt, he couldn't let these people return. Killing him was the best way to hide the evidence. But, suddenly, he noticed a murderous aura coming from the side.
He turned his head and saw Smoker on the ground with blood coming out of his chest. At the same time, two men in the white dress were coming toward him with a murderous intention.
He instantly used Shave and appeared in front of Zack. He extended his finger and thrust it forward. But, before it could hit him, Zack instantly moved to the side and dodged it with ease.
"It seems like you realized something. But you don't know anything about me."
Zack spoke as he moved forward. One of them didn't say anything but instantly moved his index finger toward Zack's chest. It was very fast but Zack had already seen it coming.
"I can't use Armament Haki but once I get the taste of Observation Haki, it isn't hard."
Zack swiftly ducked and dodged the finger. It startled the man in the white dress as he quickly tried to leave.
"I have already seen it."
But before he could use Shave, Zack clenched his fists and thrust them. His body moved up as the strength gathered in his fists struck that man's chest.
"God Style- Double Hammer Fist"
Bang!
But, Zack didn't stop there. He quickly took out a card.
"Permanent Bet- Establish"
The card appeared in front of him.
[Bet Established / Requirement Achieved (Forced) / Reward Vitality / Punishment Permanent Damage]
Just like before, the card transformed into a normal card which was nine diamonds.
At the same time, a new card appeared in front of him.
[Reward 10% Vitality (Forced) / Punishment Two-Third Vitality (Forced)]
"Is that so? Then, I have more reasons to finish it now."
Zack instantly appeared in front of that man with Shave. His previous strike caused quite a lot of damage but without Armament Haki, he simply couldn't take him down in a single strike.
He opened his fist and raised his arm.
"No Sword Flow"
His Observation Haki and his fighting instinct were activated as he saw this man's counterattack. So without any hesitation, he thrust his hand forward.
"Dragon Death Strike"
Splash!
Thud!
The man in front of him fell to the ground with a big hole in his chest. At the same time, Zack also fell to the ground with blood covering his hand.
But, thanks to the new card that transmitted him some vitality, he regained his strength. Because of the previous one-third vitality and the current 10% vitality of his opponents, he managed to hasten his healing ability.
It was also the reason why he took such a huge risk of destroying his organs permanently and even destroying two-thirds of his vitality.
He slowly took out the knife once again and killed the CP agent. Suddenly he felt a shap tingle from his back, the third one is going to stab him from back but he couldn't move his body. He felt wet only to smoker standing between him and CP agent,his left being stabbed by CP agent and blood gushing out of it.
" Well what are you waiting for pirate stab him."
His body pained but still managed to say out loud. Suprised,the agent quickly made distance between them. Zack used his cards to heal Smoker . The man in white coat turned into a hybrid bear ready to attack.
" Zack what's the plan?" Smoker whispered
" I will distract him , you cover this place up with black smoke."
" Will it work???"
" It should "
With that Zack started fighting him in a close combat while smoker began assisting him from mid and long range slowly covering the place with black smoke. Through even with both cooperating , the opponent was way stronger than them.
" Demon war hammer"
" Finger pisto.."
Using the opportunity, Smoker covered the whole are with black smoke ,he asked the next course of action.
" Rub the black smoke amongst each other and throw a bomb in it."
Getting the intent what Zack wanted to do , he hesitate trigger as the pirate was still in his smoke and may get caught in it. Luckily Vivi suddenly appeared next to injured Zack , dragged him out of smoke .
Seeing the opportunity, Smoker use threw the bomb.
BOOM!!!!
Due to shockwave , everyone present were thrown of the ground. After calming vivi took ,Zack near the CP agent body . Zack used his card to recover.
After killing them, he finally walked up to Smoker and found him breathing.
He returned to those CP agents and decided to dig a hole. Although he had killed them, he was still afraid of leaking his information and cooperation with Smoker.
After all, Smoker did help him and without his decision to stop the CP agent, he would have certainly died in the hands of four of them or even three of those CP Agents.
After burying them, he walked toward Smoker and lifted him as he returned to the ship.
Although he was healing fast with enormous vitality, he was still wounded. And, it was still hard for him to walk in this desert. Fortunately, his Willpower was strong enough.
After reaching the shore, he quickly went toward the Marine Ship and saw the dead bodies of those marine sailors.
"Tsk! Tsk! Those government people are truly ruthless." He clicked his tongue and put the smoker on. After Vivi bandaged both of their wounds, he finally decided to leave. He put two small note next to Smoker before leaving.
He and vivi went back to their ship and traveled to the port near Alubarna. Upon reaching there, he quickly got off the ship and rushed toward the Royal Palace before instructing Vivi to go find their crewmate and rush to the palace. While he was rushing there, he saw a massive sand hurricane but he didn't think too much and rushed toward King's Tomb.

[Yes]
While he was running there, he saw Crocodile. He quickly hid and thought.
'Sure enough! Without Armament Haki, Luffy won't win that easily. Even so, he will definitely win. But for now, I need to follow him and disturb him in case he kills Robin'
Thinking so, he decided to get some water and followed Crocodile into the King's Tomb.
Sure enough, just as he thought, Robin didn't tell him the truth and Crocodile decided to kill her.
Seeing this, Zack emerged his foot inside the water and rushed toward Crocodile with Shave. When he reached in front of Crocodile, he swung his foot, splashing the water drops on Crocodile's body and then kicked him.
[Water Tempest]
Bang!
And, it managed to strike him so hard that Crocodile flew away and landed several meters on the ground.
"Cough! Cough!"
