"Ah!!"
The pirates charging at Uchiha Tamaharu were instantly sent flying.
The dark red bones of Susanoo stretched out two skeletal hands. One held a spear, and with a single sweep, it sent the pirates flying.
"What kind of monster is this? Why can't we break through?!"
"Neither swords nor cannonballs can hurt it! What kind of Devil Fruit is this?!"
The Whitebeard Pirates watched Uchiha Tamaharu slowly approach, their eyes filled with despair.
Ordinary attacks couldn't penetrate Susanoo's defenses.
Even in its current, basic skeletal form, it was beyond the power of cannonballs to break.
Susanoo's arms swung repeatedly, batting pirates away. Uchiha Tamaharu showed no mercy to these ordinary pirates.
Pirates were pirates.
Uchiha Tamaharu didn't believe these guys were like Luffy and the others. Whitebeard might be able to keep himself in check, but there was no way he could control all his subordinates.
He had no qualms about killing these pirates.
But the commotion Uchiha Tamaharu was making as he slaughtered pirates drew the attention of one of the Whitebeard Pirates' commanders.
A guy who looked like Captain Jack charged over with a spiked ball in hand and swung it at Uchiha Tamaharu.
It still couldn't break Susanoo's bones, but it left a crack and knocked Uchiha Tamaharu back more than ten meters before he came to a stop.
"I'll be your opponent!"
Rakuyo gripped the chain of his spiked ball, which swung back and forth like a Poison Snake.
Uchiha Tamaharu was perfectly happy to have someone put on a show with him.
He began fighting the guy, but didn't try to kill him outright, in case it attracted too much attention.
"You! If you've got guts, stop dodging!"
After fighting Uchiha Tamaharu for a while, Rakuyo lost his temper.
His attacks couldn't land at
