章節 130: Chapter 129: Breaking the Demon Eight-Array
"Make sure to cover each other,"
"Teams of four, each responsible for enemies from one direction."
In the central cauldron-shaped building on Food Island, battles were raging everywhere. Apart from Rosinante and Doflamingo, who were engaged in the "Boss Battle" on the top floor and the "Officer Battle" on the way to the rooftop room, there was another battlefield.
"Teacher Jora, the explosives are all set up."
Several furry little kids worked quickly to install the explosives, then, led by Jora, they hurried to another blast point. When the hordes of miscellaneous soldiers from this island arrived, there was a thunderous explosion!
"Amazing!"
"Gladious's explosives are really powerful..."
"Of course,"
The blue-haired boy, who was masked, held his head high and said arrogantly,
"I am a member of the Don Quixote family's officers—"
"Just an aspiring officer,"
Also dressed in battle gear and holding a flintlock gun, Beni Sarina knocked her brother on the head.
Although their team consisted entirely of women and children, they had no trouble dealing with ordinary grunts.
The violent explosion overwhelmed the pursuing soldiers, and a group of furry little kids with physical prowess comparable to adult pirates cheered, leaving Jora at a loss for words.
She didn't want to see these children cheer for killing, but the world hadn't become gentle enough for crying to save you. Only by wielding power could they control their own lives.
"Everyone, keep up. Let's go destroy the next passageway."
The strongest Jora led the way, while Gladius continued to throw bombs, and Beni Sarina provided support from both sides with her flintlock gun. Together with a group of furry kids with physical strength on par with adult pirates, they suppressed the pursuing soldiers, making it look easy.
For them, this was the easiest part of the battle.
————
"They actually sent four people up here, what a bunch of idiots."
Glancing at Rosinante, Doflamingo, and the girl with the elephant ears, the minotaur warrior snorted.
With black flowing hair and a robe with dragon and phoenix designs, the evil-looking man who exuded a "Flower Country" style walked over while casually moving his hands.
With a light press, he made his fingertips touch the back of his hand; then, continuing to press, he made the back of his hand touch his arm! Just this joint flexibility was not something an ordinary person could achieve.
Moreover, this man's body was not only flexible but also evenly covered with Haki, giving it a strange metallic texture.
Tsk, should we say this sea route is too difficult, or is it that there are too many experts in this era?
Rosinante couldn't help but inwardly complain.
"Ricardo, this is my territory."
"Let me, the 'Dark Chef' Kyou, personally cook them. Do you have any objections?"
Hearing the confident words of this sinister-looking man, the golden-haired, silver-eyed boy took a step to the side, using his actions as an answer.
Although the boy named Ricardo liked to fight strong opponents, if it was for the sake of completing Master Cavendish's mission, he had to put his interests aside.
Let this confident chef test the opponent's strength···
Rosinante and the others walked over, and the chef named Kyou casually waved his hand.
"Who's going first?"
"Or should we go together—"
"Fufufu, quite arrogant."
Facing this ostentatious sinister man, Doflamingo didn't bother with pleasantries. He raised his hand, and before the attack was launched, the transparent threads he had secretly laid out from all directions started twisting towards the opponent.
Plop, plop, plop!
A series of slashing sounds accompanied by splattering sparks as the sturdy floor of the hall was cut with scratches, but the man, who was as stylish as ever, remained unscathed.
Huh?!
Before Doflamingo could launch the attack, the man had casually taken a step to the side, as if he had practiced avoiding the dense thread attack a hundred times.
"Oh, is it a thread-based ability?"
With both hands hanging casually, he didn't even adopt any posture. The man named Kyou, who had a fluttering robe and an air of elegance, was unfortunately spoiled by the faint evil smile on his face.
"Even I don't know where the threads will launch their attack from—"
As he said this, Kyou tilted his head slightly.
Sss...
A transparent 'parasitic thread' slid past his neck, and Doflamingo's second attempt to probe failed again.
...
The opponent's effortless evasion weighed heavily on Rosinante's mind. Sanji Geppou appeared, blocking Doflamingo, who was preparing to attack again.
"Let me handle this."
Swish...
With his black feathered coat billowing, Rosinante crossed the entire hall in an instant, and Sanji Geppou was already descending towards this sinister man from the opposite side!
Rosinante was fast, capable of masking the opponent's Observation Haki with his Devil Fruit power, and his extensive experience in close combat made him the most suitable "vanguard" to test the opponent's strength.
"Ghost Slash: Ghost Cry!"
As he approached the man's neck, the seemingly ordinary Sanji Geppou suddenly revealed its fangs.
Amidst the eruption of black-red Busoshoku Haki, the air around them rapidly transformed into heavy mercury. It then solidified into a metallic solidification within the bone-piercing coldness, leaving no room for the opponent to evade.
Hoo...
However, Rosinante's attack still missed.
Even before Rosinante charged forward, the opponent had already begun to dodge. Sanji Geppou almost pierced through the man's chest, as if they were just "acting."
At the same time, the man who called himself "Kyou" made his move. With a wave of his hand, a weapon slid out from his sleeve, and it turned out to be a... kitchen knife!
Although it was just a kitchen knife, when it was swung by this man, it exuded a murderous aura!
Simultaneously, a dark and ominous aura accompanied the glare of the kitchen knife, whistling towards Rosinante.
"Eternal Spirit: Bone Sever!"
As the black aura approached, Rosinante suddenly felt a chill all over his body. His blood flow became sluggish, his skin stiffened, and in front of him, it seemed as if countless villagers with bleeding nostrils were rushing towards him, like vengeful spirits, attempting to bind him in place.
"Hmph,"
Rosinante remained calm in the face of danger. He swiftly retracted the seemingly ordinary Sanji Geppou and the flame patterns on the blade burst into flames. With a tearing sound, he tore through the black aura that had taken the form of struggling villagers.
This was a "presence," indicating that the opponent was a formidable swordsman who had reached the level of a master swordsman!
Although this presence wasn't particularly strong...
Clang!
Sanji Geppou and the man's black dragon-patterned kitchen knife collided fiercely, and amidst the clash of Conqueror's Haki, they unexpectedly reached a stalemate.
"Ghost Slash: Ghost Chaos!"
"Eternal Spirit: Scale Peeler!"
Since they had already come to blows at close quarters, there was no need to hold back! With flames dancing on Sanji Geppou in Rosinante's hand and the man wielding a black dragon-patterned kitchen knife, they both struck rapidly, intending to defeat each other—
In an instant, their weapons, swinging at high speeds, formed a spherical pattern. Threads of light moved slowly but seemed incredibly fast within. In the blink of an eye, their swords clashed rapidly, and sparks shot out, almost engulfing the two figures!
Swish...
A few seconds later, both figures retreated from each other. The high-speed swordplay had consumed their stamina and Conqueror's Haki. The result of this exchange was:
"Rosinante? Your hand—"
The sinister man holding the kitchen knife was unharmed, but Rosinante's left shoulder was bleeding.
"Don't worry,"
With a reassuring glance to Doflamingo, who was frowning behind him, Rosinante's gaze focused on the man in front of him.
"You... began dodging before my attacks."
Indeed, after a brief exchange, Rosinante had noticed that the opponent was always dodging before his attacks. Ordinary Observation Haki couldn't achieve this level, unless...
Predicting the future?
Impossible!
Rosinante couldn't believe his luck was really this "bad," encountering a top-tier expert who could use advanced Observation Haki, "seeing into the future," on the second island of the Grand Line. Keep in mind that Rosinante had mastered Observation Haki, although he hadn't developed his own unique abilities like "extremely long-range vision," "internal examination," or "thought reading," he was far from weak after more than a year of training.
Furthermore, he had the "Silent Fruit" to shield against Observation Haki, which was why Rosinante took the lead in this battle.
So, how was the opponent able to do this—
"Hehehe, surprised?"
The long-haired man stood in the center of the hall, holding a kitchen knife, wearing a sinister smile.
"Well, for you brutes who only know how to wield swords and guns, relying on physical combat. Feng Shui, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements are like celestial scriptures."
After saying this, the man named "Kyou" spread his arms and raised his head arrogantly.
"I'll stand right here, come at me!"
---
Sss...
A super long Western sword slashed through the bright silver crescent, cutting off the huge red "tentacles" flying towards him. But more "tentacles" followed closely behind, constantly squeezing Diavolo's evasion space.
"Honk, honk, honk,"
"You're quite good to cut my hair."
The red tentacles that were cut off by Diavolo fell to the ground and rapidly dispersed. They were all red hair. In the center of the room, amidst the red "tentacles" that had swelled to occupy more than half of the room, stood a burly pirate captain with a single eye and a severed hand.
"Unfortunately, with just swordsmanship, you can't defeat me, 'Redbeard' Babadosa!"
His black tricorn hat had already been removed, and his red hair and beard billowed like tentacles.
"I am a hair-human who has eaten the 'Furu Furu Fruit.' My hair and beard are my most powerful weapons. I alone am an army!"
Not only were these hairs as tough as steel, but they could also be controlled at will. Under Babadosa's command, they transformed into countless sharp giant thorn tentacles, whistling toward Diavolo to swarm and assassinate him.
"Fafa - Bullet Rain!"
Facing attacks more formidable and flexible than Blueno's "Dance Stones," Torebopu clenched his teeth and swung his super long Western sword once again.
"Half Moon - Funeral!"
The enormous emerald flying slash shot out, capable of instantly killing ordinary sea creatures and small Sea Kings. However, it seemed powerless against the red hairs of the opponent.
After cutting off several strands of hair tentacles, he helplessly exhausted his strength and disappeared.
Even Diavolo's explosive attack couldn't cut through one-third of the thickness of the hair created by this man's Devil Fruit ability!
Whether it was because of the extraordinary toughness of these hairs or the Conqueror's Haki infused within them.
"Damn it, if it were Torebopu instead..."
Diavolo found dealing with these rapidly regenerating, highly resilient hairs quite troublesome. But if it were Torebopu, he could easily incapacitate this "Redbeard," who had a bounty of 99 million Berries, with a single "Sticky Sea."
"No, that's not it!"
The tall Diavolo shook his head vigorously, discarding that weak thought.
"I am the man who aspires to become the first swordsman of the Donquixote Family. Mere hair..."
How could it block my path?
