Exchange

Whoosh whoosh.

Three Rankyaku appeared, enveloping Lafitte, but Lafitte flapped its wings and moved sideways. However, the moment it took a step, Hachi pounced and slashed out with three swords.

"Tornado."

The three swords intersected and formed a whirlwind that Rankyaku towards Lafitte.

"There wasn't time for hypnosis."

Lafitte swiftly slashed his longsword several times with his right hand, shattering a wave of sword energy, but two more blades still came flying at him.

The next moment, two white wings suddenly slashed forward, and two Rankyaku flew out.

Bang, bang.

Rankyaku clash against each Rankyaku, colliding and shattering.

Lafitte seized the opportunity to move back quickly, and the two sides were once again locked in a tug-of-war.

"We must speed things up."

Hachi sensed the opponent's strength; it was extremely powerful. If he had just arrived on Fish-Man Island two years ago, he probably wouldn't have been able to contend with him.

What about the rest of the Blackbeard Pirates? Can they hold them off?

We must help them.

Thinking of this, Hachi narrowed his eyes, having already made up his mind. He unleashed three slashes, and three waves of Rankyaku appeared, transforming into a Phoenix that swept towards Lafitte.

"Phoenix Wing".

Faced with this move, Lafitte dodged, but before he could regain his footing, Hachi was already close in, slashing out with three arms.

Lafitte was prepared and made a quick retreat.

But Hachi relentlessly pursued him, and while he was adjusting, his other three arms, wielding knives, slashed down one after another.

Clang, clang, clang.

Lafitte blocked the three blows with his sword, but had a strange feeling that something was wrong.

The force was too light.

Just as Lafitte hesitated, Hachi suddenly opened his mouth and spat in their direction.

"Ink Cloud".

The next moment, pitch-black ink enveloped Lafitte.

"Not good."

Lafitte understood why he was slowing down; it was simply to restrain him and prepare for a follow-up attack.

Lafitte retreated rapidly, but Hachi gripped his sword, and the six swords suddenly converged, unleashing six Rankyaku towards Lafitte.

"Dark Octopus Can".

The instant Lafitte dodged the edge of the ink, six Rankyaku suddenly sliced through the ink and attacked Lafitte.

Lafitte retreated swiftly, using his sword to deflect the Rankyaku.

Click, click.

Rankyaku shattered one after another.

Just as Lafitte shattered the last Rankyaku, a massive figure appeared behind him.

"Octopus Gate."

The six swords instantly closed in, Lafitte's expression changed, and he spread his wings, striking two of the swords with Rankyaku attack.

Then, with a swift movement of his longsword, he blocked two more blades.

But there are still two knives left.

Lafitte was unstoppable.

Just as the long sword was about to strike his body, a gunshot suddenly rang out.

Hachi froze as he was hit by a bullet, then swung his longsword horizontally to deflect the second and third bullets.

Lafitte seized the opportunity and thrust his sword out.

Bang.

Lafitte was hit on the left flank, staggered, then turned and swung his longsword back, blocking two more bullets.

On the other side.

Van Augur saw that the situation with Bασσας was becoming increasingly urgent, but he did not assist Heckle because he was too fast and he might not be able to hit him.

Bασσας can hold out for a while, but if Heckle rushes into an attack, it will only give Bασσας a chance to counterattack.

More importantly, completely defeating Bασσας is an extremely difficult task.

But the other side is different.

When Van Augur realized that Hachi was gaining the upper hand in the distance, he suddenly fired three shots at Hachi.

The instant he made a move, Mr. Christmas reacted and tried to attack Van Augur.

But at that moment, two apples appeared between the two of them.

boom.

A Mr. Christmas bullet hit an apple, causing it to explode in a burst of flame.

The moment the apple was hit, Mr. Christmas realized the problem and stopped firing. Instead, he opened a small door in another direction, aimed at Lafitte, and fired three shots.

These three bullets forced Lafitte to retreat, as he intended to take the opportunity to attack Hachi.

At the same time, she looked for Van Augur again, intending to attack him, but Van Augur ignored her and charged toward Lafitte, shouting, "Exchange opponents!"

Lafitte immediately retreated and rushed towards Van Augur.

Hachi wanted to give chase, but Van Augur had already opened fire.

Clang, clang.

Hachi cut Van Augur's bullet with two slashes, stopping his movement and preventing him from moving forward.

Behind them, Mr. Christmas fired two shots, but Lafitte had already rushed behind Van Augur and deflected the bullets with a flick of his longsword.

Van Augur attacked Hachi as he moved.

Hachi was on high alert, controlling the direction of Van Augur's gun and deflecting the bullets.

Lafitte was the same; his single-handed attack was a little faster than Hachi faster. However, he managed to dodge Mr. Christmas's attack by using his body to evade it.

"Then we'll attack from behind."

Mr. Christmas immediately closed the door and circulated in Spatial Dimension, intending to attack from the side.

But at that moment, Lafitte sped away, running into the distance, dodging left and right.

He was very fast, and with his constant movement, Mr. Christmas had a hard time keeping up with him and had to open a wider door.

However, once Lafitte determined the direction of her shot, he was able to defend himself.

If Mr. Christmas takes a detour, Lafitte will start running again. In the Spatial Dimension, Mr. Christmas simply can't outrun Lafitte.

After Hachi Van Augur's adjustments, the team that initially had the advantage is now in a more balanced state.

"He's so fast."

Cecilia looked somewhat surprised when she saw Heckle's sudden burst of speed.

This speed is even faster than mine. Right now, I can only shave in my half-orc form, which is slower than Heckle's current speed.

It seems I need to step up my game; I can't let my only advantage be overtaken.

Cecilia thought to herself, but at that moment, a gunshot rang out. Before Cecilia could react, the basket next to Doc Q suddenly flew up, and some of the apples flew towards Cecilia.

"Um?"

Cecilia immediately raised her foot and slashed out. The moment she hit the first apple, it shattered into pieces and exploded.

The explosion of one apple caused a chain reaction of explosions of apples around it.

Cecilia retreated immediately, creating some distance, and transformed into her half-orc form.

Hehehe.

Doc Q jumped off the white horse, then untied the pack on his back, revealing a strange weapon that he pointed at Cecilia.

Heckle continued to attack Bασσας, who kept blocking, but was hit a few times, and some blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

thump.

Bασσας's right leg buckled, and he fell to his knees on one knee.

"It's at this moment."

Suddenly, Heckle appeared ten meters above Bασσας's head. He raised his fists, his arms bulged, and then his body weight suddenly increased to ten thousand kilograms before crashing down.

"Ten Ton Fist".

Heckle's body fell from above, crashing down on Bασσας.

"Unsinkable Fleet, elbow strike."

Bασσας suddenly stood up and swung his right elbow upwards.

boom.

The fists and elbows collided.

A tremendous sound was heard, and waves appeared in concentric circles.

Click.

Bασσας's elbow shattered instantly. His body jolted, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood before collapsing heavily to his knees.

After being struck, Heckle's bones creaked under the strain, and he used the force to fly up, his body lightening as he was thrown backward. He flew a great distance before landing and coughing up a mouthful of blood.

"I am the champion, I will not lose."

Bασσας gritted his teeth and slowly stood up. His right arm was useless and injured internally, but he still had his left arm to fight.

"This person."

Seeing this, Heckle was surprised that his opponent was still willing to fight. His hands trembled from the pain, but looking at Bασσας in front of him, Heckle gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. "Then let's go again."
