Twin Swords

"Since you're here, you're not leaving!"

Orr drew both swords at his waist and warily watched Luo Sa.

His opponent's ability to freely enter and exit wooden ships, and even turn invisible, was truly bizarre!

They had to keep him here today. Otherwise, they'd probably never get another peaceful night's sleep!

"Go!"

Luo Sa's eyes narrowed. He immediately prepared to run. He wasn't about to take a fight he wasn't sure he could win!

"Leaving? It's not that easy!"

Orr snorted. To Luo Sa's astonishment, he flew into the air and slashed both swords at him in a cross!

"Geppo!"

Luo Sa was startled. The Six Powers were a technique exclusive to the Marines, yet now a pirate was using them!

There was no time to think. The gleaming swords were already slashing toward him!

"Shadow Ball!" Luo Sa's eyes narrowed. Ghost Attribute energy surged, and he instantly spat out a pitch-black ball of energy.

Boom!

The Shadow Ball collided violently with the swords and exploded, filling the air with clouds of smoke.

"Now's my chance!"

Luo Sa took flight with his Levitate Ability, hoping to escape the battle!

"Secret Technique: Cross Slash!"

Orr's cold voice came from within the smoke. A powerful slash flashed past, striking Gastly with blinding speed!

Boom!

A violent explosion sent Gastly's body plummeting straight down from the air and crashing onto the deck.

"Damn it. As a Ghost Attribute Pokémon, Gastly didn't inherit my strong physique at all after I transformed. And with so little of its abilities developed, it couldn't fight back!" Luo Sa looked up at Orr, his face full of frustration.

"Ahahaha! Die!" Orr laughed loudly, flipped upside down, crossed his swords, and kicked off with a reverse Geppo, charging toward Luo Sa.

Boom!

The next moment, an explosion rang out on the deck, and the two crashed straight through it and fell to the level below.

"It's over!"

"Long live Captain Orr!"

The pirates cheered, convinced their enemy was as good as dead!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, the sound of a fierce fight came from inside the ship. A figure smashed through the deck and flew up.

"Captain Orr!"

The pirates' cheers abruptly stopped, and their faces filled with disbelief.

The figure that had been blasted up was none other than their captain!

"Damn it. I was still forced to use it!"

Luo Sa cursed from inside the ship, then leaped onto the deck.

"What kind of monster is that?"

"A Dog-Dog Fruit user?"

The pirates were shocked again when they saw Luo Sa. Their limited imaginations couldn't begin to explain why their enemy had changed into this form.

Luo Sa had transformed into a Riolu covered in blue fur!

"Looks like none of them can be left alive!" Riolu's blood-red eyes swept over the scene. Luo Sa thought to himself.

"So you're a Dog-Dog Fruit user. This is your true form!" Orr got up from the ground, holding a sword in each hand as he warily watched Luo Sa.

"Quick Attack!"

Luo Sa didn't answer. He flashed forward with a Quick Attack, darting toward Orr at top speed.

He had to end this quickly!

"Bring it on!"

Two-Sword Style: Cross Slash!

Orr growled and slashed both swords at Luo Sa!

Boom!

Luo Sa collided with the swords in a flash. Normal-type energy formed a layer over his body, holding firm against their blades!

Thanks to Quick Attack's speed, Luo Sa had a decisive advantage in strength, forcing Orr to retreat rapidly!

When Orr reached the railing, he braced himself with his right leg and stopped Luo Sa's assault.

"Fa Jin!"

Luo Sa pressed forward relentlessly, gathering Fighting-type energy in both hands and shoving hard!

An invisible burst of force surged through the swords into Orr's hands, leaving them slightly numb!

"It's over!"

Luo Sa growled and forcefully knocked Orr's swords aside.

Clang!

The force of Luo Sa's blow sent both swords flying into the air, where they caught a faint glimmer of moonlight!

Boom!

Luo Sa's fist came down at the same moment, hurtling toward Orr's face!

Bang!

Just then, a gunshot rang out, forcing Luo Sa to pull back his fist. He used Soru to dodge the bullet.

"Who was that?"

Luo Sa didn't have time to worry about Orr. He scanned the area, searching for the shooter.

"Clap, clap, clap."

A middle-aged man in a sailor's uniform came out, applauding as he watched Luo Sa with an amused smile.

"So you were the one who spotted me?" Luo Sa looked at the man with a grave expression.

He could tell that the man who had discovered him and fired the shot was the one standing before him!

"Ah..."

"I almost didn't recognize you!"

The middle-aged man didn't deny it. He nodded.

"Brother."

Orr's expression shifted. He walked up to the middle-aged man and lowered his head.

The middle-aged man waved Orr back, then stepped forward to face Luo Sa from a distance.

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Carl, and I'm the captain of the Twin Sword Pirates!"

"Captain of the Twin Sword Pirates!"

Luo Sa's eyes narrowed as he looked back and forth between Carl and Orr.

"I see. 'Twin Sword' really means there are two captains!"

"Congratulations, you got it right. But there's no prize."

Carl chuckled and slowly tossed the flintlock in his hand onto the ground.

Orr was overjoyed. He hurriedly handed Carl his two swords, his eyes full of anticipation.

Carl took Orr's swords and spun them in a flourish before crossing them in front of her.

"My old friends, it's been a long time since we fought side by side!"

Carl murmured to herself. At the same time, her presence changed dramatically, becoming razor-sharp, like a divine sword drawn from its sheath!

"The real Swift Sword Karl is back!" Orr grinned.

"Come on, kid. I haven't fought in a long time. I hope you won't disappoint me!"

Carl looked at Luo Sa like a cat eyeing a mouse, making his expression shift slightly.

The next moment, Carl vanished. In the blink of an eye, she appeared before Luo Sa, growing larger in his pupils.

Luo Sa tried to move, only to find himself flying through the air. He slammed into the ship's wheel, knocking it over.

"She's so strong!"

Luo Sa climbed to his feet, his pupils shrinking to pinpricks. Strong—she was far too strong!

"Ahahaha! My brother, Swift Sword Karl, is a Great Pirate renowned throughout the Grand Line!" Sok burst out laughing at the shock on Luo Sa's face.

"Wait, let me think. What was my brother's bounty from the Marines again?"

"Oh, I remember now. One hundred and thirty million! One hundred and thirty million Beli!"

One hundred and thirty million!

Strength on par with a Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral!
