The originally scheduled thirty seconds were now around forty seconds.
This caused dissatisfaction to grow within the heart of Bundy World, which showed directly on his face as he let out an angry, furious cold snort. "Hmph, if Sebastian that guy can't even take down the enemy."
"Then I'll have that fellow starve for a few days!"
Binjack on his shoulder, however, wore a look full of worry, frowning as he looked out at the ocean. The churning sea coupled with the distance made it impossible for anyone to see the situation beneath the water.
Cough cough... cough cough...
The intense worry and unease made his coughing worsen somewhat, and he turned his head to look at World's furious expression, suggesting, "World, have someone check on Sebastian's situation."
"Get everyone ready for battle; the enemy's ship is almost upon us."
Forty seconds of time.
Allowed the two ships heading toward each other to close in rapidly, changing the distance from several thousand meters away to just a few hundred meters apart.
"Is that so?"
World looked up toward the opponent, shouting directly at the pirates beside him, "Get me a cannonball!"
"I'm going to let that Ochoku fellow witness the power of my World Destroyer Bundy World's Munch-Munch Fruit!!"
The pirate at the side immediately hurried over with a heavy bomb held in both hands, presenting it right before Bundy World.
World reached out and snatched the pitch-black bomb from the pirate's hands.
He tossed the heavy bomb around in his hand, looking at the distant pirate ship with a mocking expression as a fierce aura suddenly erupted from his body.
His thick arm raised the bomb in his hand high. "Let everything before our eyes be destroyed!"
"Let's put on a dazzling explosion show!"
His arm exerted force, and with a whoosh, he fiercely hurled the bomb in his hand.
"Munch-Munch—100-Times Cannon!!"
The high-speed flying bomb grew in size the moment it reached halfway.
Once.
Twice.
Thrice.
It grew straight from the size of a bowling ball into a cannonball as large as an automobile!
The huge cannonball frightened the pirates on the deck into showing expressions of fear, cold sweat pouring down in streams.
Panic-stricken screams rang out.
At that moment, a voice suddenly echoed across the deck.
"One Sword Style: Seeking the Straight in the Curved!"
Ochoku, the "warrior" clad in heavy golden armor, leaped up abruptly, wielding a glittering, several-meter-long precious sword and slashing down through the air.
Swish!!
A flash of silver light passed.
Across a distance of more than ten meters, the huge bomb in the sky was instantly split apart right down the middle.
Magnificently cut in two!
Dividing into left and right halves that fell past both sides of his body, they smashed with loud booms into the left and right flanks of the ship, kicking up massive sprays of water that showered down onto the deck.
Ochoku, who had sliced the bomb apart with a single sword strike, did not stop, shouting toward World in the distance, "Let me also try what kind of skills the fellow known as the World Destroyer, with a bounty of 200 million from the Marines, actually has!"
Immediately, he gripped his precious sword with both hands and swung it through the air.
"One Sword Style—Flying Torrent Slash!!"
It carried the poetic charm of a "torrent plunging down three thousand feet," and a brilliant, gorgeous white sword light burst forth fiercely from the long sword.
The twenty-to-thirty-meter-huge slash was so fast it tore through the air, emitting a piercing sound.
The speed seemed fast enough to break the sound barrier.
"Such a powerful slash!"
Seeing such a fierce and sharp slash, World could not help but praise it, grinning hideously as he said, "As expected of an officer of the Rocks Pirates, the Golden Armor Swordsman with a bounty of 180 million—Ochoku!!"
His expression turned malevolent as he reached out and snatched a long saber from the hands of one of his subordinate pirates.
"Big Brother, hold onto me tightly!!"
Bundy World gave a warning to Binjack on his shoulder, then stamped hard on the wooden planks beneath his feet, employing the Six Powers technique "Shave"!
He leaped into the air, appearing high up at twenty or thirty meters, and stomped with force from his foot, producing a sonic boom.
His entire person completed a turn in mid-air, heading straight toward the oncoming slash.
He roared excitedly, "Munch-Munch—100-Times Slash!"
The long saber in his hand instantly grew in size, turning into a massive saber dozens of meters long in the blink of an eye!
His hands raised the massive saber high with all his might, and he chopped down with fierce force, meeting the slash head-on.
Boom!!!
A deafening sound resonated across the ocean.
That brilliant stream of sword light instantly shattered into countless fragments, dissipating into the air.
World, who had shattered the slash with a single strike, immediately laughed out loud, "Wah-ha-ha-ha..."
Extremely proud and putting on airs, he said in a loud voice, "I am a Munch-Munch Human who has eaten the Munch-Munch Fruit!!"
His booming laughter echoed across this expanse of the ocean.
Ochoku saw his slash easily shattered by the opponent, and his expression immediately sank. "Is this the World Destroyer Bundy World? What truly formidable strength!"
"Bringing that Ares fellow along really is a troublesome business!"
It would have been fine if he had simply followed the ships along normally; at worst, they could have thrown some of the heavy supplies on board directly into the sea, and escaping should have been no problem at all.
Now...
Bundy World's formidable strength cast a shadow over Ochoku's heart.
The opponent was strong!!
So strong that even as an officer of the Rocks Pirates, he did not have the confidence to defeat Bundy World.
Ochoku could not help worrying in his heart: What on earth is Ares's current situation?!
If he gets wiped out, it's going to be a huge mess.
In the seawater.
Sebastian, a half-breed of the Giant Tribe and Fish-Man Race, was practically cursing up a storm in his heart. "What kind of monster is this? Not only does he possess strength that surpasses my own as a giant."
"This kid's swimming speed in the seawater is actually getting faster and faster!"
This made him feel just like he had seen a ghost!
Am I the giant or is he the giant?
Am I the Fish-Man or is he the Fish-Man?
The advantage was originally mine!
Now...
Sebastian truly felt that his advantage in the water was getting smaller and smaller, and the crucial point was that his incomparably confident strength was actually weaker than the opponent's!
He could not help cursing bitterly in the bottom of his heart: "This is simply too perverted!"
"I'm not playing with you anymore!"
He felt as though the opponent was simply toying with him for fun; whenever he used the same move, the opponent would hit him fiercely with a punch.
When he used a fresh move, the opponent would lessen the force in his hands.
He was fundamentally "toying" with him, "making a fool" of him.
Simply infuriating!
Just a fish, was it really that much fun?
Having made up his mind, Sebastian turned and fled; he really did not want to fight this monster anymore!
"Eh... he ran?!"
Ares wore a stunned expression, and then his tiger eyes widened as he said fiercely, "I'm definitely not going to let you run away this easily, fellow; I have to squeeze you completely dry!!"
"His attack method is amazing; it makes the resistance of the seawater against my fist smaller, and my strength decreases even less!"
"And that peculiar water-control ability!"
"I've got to write it all down and then go back and practice hard!"
