White Smoke vs. Darkness

"White Gale!"

Smoker spewed out a massive amount of smoke, trying to steal all the air and engulf Ruri, suffocating her!

"Dark Invasion!"

A large amount of black mist also surged from Ruri's body, colliding with Smoker's attack!

"Boom!"

The warship trembled violently!

The white smoke and the black fog were equally matched!

But...

"White Fist!"

Smoker transformed into a cloud of smoke and suddenly appeared behind Ruri, his Seastone weapon, shrouded in Armament Haki, aimed straight for Ruri's back!

"Pfft!"

Ruri's body was pierced, Smoker thought to himself, "Did it work?"

"That was a very effective strike!"

Upon hearing Ruri's voice, Smoker immediately retreated abruptly...

"Since we're already here, why are we leaving!"

Ruri swung her arm, and the black mist instantly rushed towards Smoker ...

"I won't let you catch me!"

Smoker transformed into smoke, dodging the black mist with incredible agility!

In an instant...

The black mist really couldn't do anything to him!

"But have you forgotten that I'm not incapable of moving!"

Just as Smoker dodged the black mist, Ruri's voice came from above him!

Suddenly Ruri appeared on his head!

"Not good!"

Smoker was heartbroken!

With tremendous force in her right arm, Ruri slammed him down heavily right before his eyes!

"Bang!"

The warship's deck was directly penetrated...

Smoker was slammed into the food storage room, feeling like all the bones in his body were about to fall apart!

But he had no time to rest...

Ruri's darkness has returned!

"We must not let this black mist catch us!"

Smoker endured the pain and churning blood, thinking to himself!

He transformed into smoke...

Speeding at breakneck speed on the level below deck!

If you get caught by the black mist, you're done for!

But he forgot one thing...

Faced with black fog, an omnipresent substance...

How long can he escape in a confined space?

Therefore...

As he prepared to rush out of this space through the exit leading to the deck, he was horrified to discover that all exits had been blocked by Ruri!

He...

It's become a trapped beast!

"Damn it, we're trapped!"

Smoker clenched his fists involuntarily...

Is the difference in strength between him and Ruri really that big?

On the deck!

"It seems Mr. Smoker is in grave danger, Mr. Doberman!"

On politeness...

Nous was probably the most polite person there!

But his opponent Doberman, didn't feel that way!

"To sacrifice oneself for justice is a very honorable thing!"

"Don't even think about trying to unsettle me!"

Doberman's right arm was charred black, with two menacing gun muzzles!

This forced him to wield the sword with his left hand...

"Is that so? That's a real headache..."

Nous, like a gentleman, was spotless, his body crackling with lightning. "We don't intend to fight you to the death!"

Injure a vice admiral!

But...

Killing a vice admiral is a serious matter!

Nous felt...

They don't need to make such a grudge against the Navy for the time being!

But his words enraged Doberman!

"Asshole!"

"Are you looking down on us?!"

"You are insulting the dignity of a marine who is prepared to sacrifice himself for justice!"

Doberman roared in anger, but to this...

Nous's only answer was...

"I'm sorry, we really won't kill you, although I do have the ability to!"

Nous raised his eyes slightly and said leisurely...

Doberman suffered a right arm injury.

He seemed completely unfazed...

But actually...

If it weren't for the powerful self-healing ability of the Mythical Beast type, he would have a gunshot wound on his chest right now!
