The Terrifying Rain of Black Arrows!

Zangjing flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, Vidal, who was leaping into the air and clapping his hands, was naturally unaware of the sorrow and anger in the former's heart. He was only thinking about knocking the other party unconscious with one slap and then proceeding to the next step.

"Um?!"

But at that moment, Vidal's pupils suddenly contracted to almost nothing, as a strange arrow, entirely black with a gleaming arrowhead, entered his field of vision.

What makes it strange is that the arrow not only made no whistling sound or the sound of it cutting through the air, but also maintained an astonishing speed in this area shrouded in Slow-Slow Beam.

It just so 'naturally' attacked his right palm!

This also brought a huge sense of crisis, setting off alarm bells in his mind.

However, being in mid-air at the very moment of launching an attack, dodging became almost an impossible option. Left with no other choice, Vidal had to increase the force of his hand as he slammed it down.

Beneath the Haki black palm was a surging whirlwind formed by a dense wave of air.

The next second, a horrifying scene unfolded before Vidal's eyes: the black arrow had silently passed through the whirlwind and the shockwave.

"This is."

[Clang!]

Before he could react, the sharp arrowhead collided heavily with his palm, producing a piercing clang of metal amidst a shower of sparks.

A powerful force traveled up his arm, knocking Vidal back. At the same time, the blackness on the long arrow faded away like flowing water and broke into tiny fragments, which slowly 'floated' in the purple light.

"Hiss--"

Vidal felt a faint stinging pain in his palm and couldn't help but gasp. He could sense the Armament Haki on the arrow, which was at least as strong as his own.

"Where?!"

He stared coldly in the direction from which the arrow had come, while simultaneously sweeping his Observation Haki across the area, but after several seconds he found nothing.

But they also noticed the riots at the port not far away!

On the chaotic port, Vice Admiral Kuro, Vice Admiral Light, and Sakazuki, who came to reap the lives of the officers, no longer cared about Helandou and the others. One after another, black arrows from the sea, piercing through layers of storm, forced them to do everything they could to protect themselves.

As for the previous 'Blood Dragonfly', it had already become a dead soul under the Lava Fist a few minutes earlier.

"Damn it, what the hell are these black arrows?!"

While desperately using his Observation Haki to dodge, Vice Admiral Kuro gritted his teeth and pulled out the long arrow from his left arm, then used 'Life Return' to instantly stop the bleeding.

He had just tried to intercept the arrow with his longsword, but it inexplicably passed right through him and hit his left arm, which he instinctively raised to block.

The Armament Haki on his arm was as thin as paper!

But his personal demonstration made Vice Admiral Light and the others realize that the Haki emanating from that arrow was of a very high level, and those who felt inferior to him should not try to block it head-on.

The strange piercing effect on the arrows is clearly the power of some kind of Devil Fruit!

[Boom!--]

"Great Eruption!"

Enraged, Sakazuki unleashed a scorching lava Giant Fist at the incoming black arrows, but no matter how powerful his attack was, the arrows easily pierced through the thick lava, forcing him to use Shave to dodge to the side.

"Hateful!!"

Sakazuki was furious, glaring fiercely at the surging sea where, apart from the wind, rain, and waves, not a single person or even a ship could be seen.

At this moment, he was starting to miss that lazy guy Borsalino.

Or perhaps they envied the other person's Glint-Glint Fruit ability; if they had that speed, they would have already flown over and caught them!

Upon seeing the rain of arrows, Helandou's face immediately lit up with excited joy.

Tsk tsk tsk, I'm really important, huh? Not only has the Zangjing Master come, but now even the Gentleman older brother has arrived!

He quickly activated his Wheel-Wheel Fruit power, turning his legs into wheels, and rushed towards a warship not far from the warship.

Once I'm on board, everything will be fine; the title of 'Fearless Tank' isn't given lightly!

"Oh dear, Master Zangjing, you'd better hurry! I'll wait for you at sea!"

Helandou glanced at the Zangjing trapped in the Wood Cage, then quickly turned his head and muttered something under his breath.

"Master Zangjing is better than me, there's definitely no problem."

Nearby naval officers, including Vice Admiral Kuro and Vice Admiral Light, noticed Helandou's movements. However, every time someone rushed forward, they were met with a barrage of arrows. This allowed Helandou to safely pass through the rain and arrows and successfully jump onto the deck of a ship.

"Douhaha! Behold my Fearless Tank!"

[Smack!]

The Helandou slammed its palm heavily onto the deck covered with a thick layer of rainwater, and instantly a rapid buzzing sound came from below the boat.

From his perspective, it might not be visible, but Sakazuki and the others saw the ship's hull transform into a giant, rapidly rotating track.

At the same time, the entire ship automatically reversed backward, even though the bow was facing forward.

"Don't even think about it!!"

Sakazuki was enraged. He absolutely could not tolerate a pirate prisoner escaping back to the sea in front of him. Instantly, his lower body turned into dark red magma, followed by a thick plume of black smoke that spurted him into the air.

At this moment, he was like a lump of lava ejected from a volcano, carrying billowing smoke and water vapor evaporated by the high temperature, pressing down on the warship where the Helandou was like a demon.

"Go to hell!"

"Great Eruption!!"

His already molten, dark red right arm suddenly gushed out even more thick magma, which rapidly expanded as he threw a punch, transforming into Giant Fist four or five meters high and two or three meters wide that slammed into the ship's hull.

Yes, the hull!

"Careful!"

"Get out of the way!!"

Just then, shouts came from behind Vice Admiral Kuro and Lieutenant Vice Admiral Light.

"Snort!"

Sakazuki glanced at the two black arrows that were aimed at him with pinpoint accuracy, merely snorted coldly, and then continued bombarding the warship without a second thought.

Even if he's injured and bleeding today, these Helandou must be kept!

[Call out!]

[Call out!]

But this time, those black arrows were different. When they were less than five meters away from the 'Great Eruption', they suddenly burst out with a sharp sonic boom, and then crashed into the thick mass of magma, exploding into a spray of hot magma water.

"Damn it! Who is it?!"

Sakazuki was enraged by this sight; this time, the arrows were not aimed at him, but rather at preventing him from destroying the warship.

Just then, the tracked warship that Helandou was riding in had already retreated from the port at an astonishing speed!

However, the people in the port did not notice that every arrow they dodged ended up flying towards Vidal, demonstrating the terrifying skill of their archery.

Amidst a dense clang of metal being struck, Vidal frantically swung his palms in front of him, striking down one black arrow after another, only to stumble and fall backward each time due to the force of the blows.

He found these arrows truly terrifying; they could pierce almost anything before his hands could touch them, and some even emerged from the body of the Zangjing.

"Haha, is that Gentleman here? Hmph, what a busybody, but well done!"

Completely disregarding his disheveled appearance, Zangjing burst into laughter. At the same time, he noticed that the black railings behind him were being relentlessly bombarded by black arrows and were about to break.

"Wow, that's amazing! Even Gentleman's arrow can't be broken by it. What kind of wood is this?" Zangjing asked with a look of surprise and doubt.

"But judging from this, he won't last many more shots. That kid is undoubtedly the world's number one sniper."

Just then, his expression changed, and he cursed inwardly, realizing he had forgotten what the Gentleman had told him!
