Wuli VS Eustass Kid

The moment Eustass Kid made his move, his imposing might surged forth, and a powerful aura swept fiercely toward Wuli.

An invisible pressure bore down on Wuli, making it hard for him to breathe. He stared at his opponent with a grim expression.

Flying sand, rolling stones, and the roar of waves—it was like the stillness before a storm.

Eustass Kid swung the enormous fist in the sky down toward where Wuli stood.

Bang!

A massive crater was instantly smashed into the ground where Wuli had been, and dust filled the sky.

"Cough, cough... What terrifying destructive power." Wuli raised a hand to shield himself from the dust, secretly shaken.

"One force can overcome ten techniques. Under the suppression of absolute strength, probably few could confront him head-on."

Before Wuli could catch his breath, another fist came attacking right after him.

Unable to withstand it for the moment, Wuli could only keep dodging. If he took one of those punches head-on, he would probably be smashed into pulp.

"Weren't you here to stop me from leaving? Wuli, fight me! Why are you dodging?" Eustass Kid roared furiously.

Punch after punch, earthshaking booms echoed through the air.

This also drew the attention of Northric Town's residents, and someone quickly recognized Eustass Kid.

After all, Eustass Kid had just caused a huge commotion in town and left massive destruction in his wake.

What these people did not understand was why Kid, who should have already left, was still fighting someone.

The Marines aboard the warship were also astonished. They had not expected Eustass Kid, the pirate supernova with the highest bounty, to be held back by someone.

Surprise flashed through Hina's eyes. Frowning, she said, "Perfect. Keeping them occupied buys us time."

Killer began to grow anxious as he watched the Marine warship draw closer and closer.

Continuing to dodge was not a solution. With that thought, Wuli's body seemed to transform into a streak of sword light.

Like a bolt of lightning, he charged toward Eustass Kid.

Eustass Kid snorted coldly. He strode forward, and the entire ground trembled.

The enormous fist erupted with tremendous power and smashed down viciously.

"Samidare!" The sword in Wuli's hand seemed to turn into a fine drizzle.

More than a dozen rain-like sword lights intertwined as they struck the enormous fist, but they only split apart a portion of the metal.

The huge fist formed from metal continued its assault without slowing.

Suspended in midair, Wuli had no way to dodge and could only block it head-on.

The seawater churned, streams of water hung upside down, and currents were drawn around him.

"Shigure Soen Ryu: Shibuki Ame." Wuli gripped his sword in reverse.

Sword energy swept up the water, spinning at high speed to form a water wall of the strongest defense.

As the two collided, the tremendous power twisted the air, seeming ready to tear apart the nearby void.

Killer and the zombie were also struck by the force and involuntarily retreated more than ten meters.

Energy surged, fierce winds howled, and the gale tossed Wuli's hair into disarray.

Crack!

Wuli's defensive water wall was breached, and spiderweb-like cracks began spreading across the sword in his hand.

Carrying the force of a mountain flood bursting forth, the huge fist drove Wuli into the ground.

As the dust dispersed, Wuli's body stood firmly in the crater like an iron stake hammered into the earth.

Wuli's ribs had broken, and the impact had severely injured his internal organs.

Blood stained Wuli's clothes red, yet he still held his sword toward his enemy.

Even though his right hand could no longer move.

At that moment, his figure gave off the lofty impression that he would never fall.

A trace of appreciation flashed through Eustass Kid's eyes, but it was soon swallowed by a violent aura.

He had also realized how troublesome Wuli was. Time was pressing, so he naturally needed to end this quickly.

Countless metal objects from the ground, even metal objects from the distant town, were drawn over by Kid's Devil Fruit power. The enormous fist in the sky grew larger and larger.

It seemed as though it would cover the entire sky, and its shadow gradually enveloped Wuli.

The nearby sea was compressed by this power, forming enormous waves.

The nearby ships rocked violently, and even the warship Hina was on felt the tremors.

Seeing Eustass Kid's attack, the Marines aboard the warship cried out instinctively.

So strong!

Hina was equally shocked. As expected of the one with the highest bounty among the Worst Generation. She began to worry whether Wuli could withstand this attack.

The Marine warship cut through the waves at top speed, rushing toward the battlefield.

The pirates who had already boarded the Kid Pirates' ship could not help but worry for their captain. If the Marine warship arrived, it would become very difficult to escape.

Moreover, the Marine warship had already begun firing at them from afar, while their ship rocked violently with the rising waves.

Wuli closed his eyes. With tremendous effort, he barely moved his right hand, sheathed his sword, and inserted it into its scabbard.

But no one thought he was simply waiting to die. His left hand moved to the sword hilt.

After Wuli's sword returned to its scabbard, the aura around him grew more and more powerful. Even Eustass Kid felt a powerful threat.

Clearly, Wuli already looked to be at the end of his strength.

"Final blow!" Eustass Kid shouted.

"I'll show you that I, Eustass Kid, am unstoppable. Bounty hunter Wuli, take this and die!"

A fist formed from metal, as huge as a warship, blasted toward Wuli with unparalleled might.

Just as the attack was about to land on Wuli, his eyes suddenly opened. His left hand gripped the sword, and the blade left its scabbard, drawing a sharp streak of sword light.

"Shigure Soen Ryu: Bamboo Thrusting Rain."

The sword light was dazzling, and the enormous fist was cleaved halfway apart down the middle.

Eustass Kid let out a furious roar, and the damaged warship-sized fist continued charging toward Wuli.

"Shigure Soen Ryu: Special Form: Swallow's Beak." Wuli unleashed dozens of sword lights in rapid succession.

The sharp sword energy seemed capable of slicing space apart. Countless cracks instantly appeared across the huge fist in the sky, and with several cracking sounds, the metal shattered and fell apart.

Everyone who saw this was dumbfounded. He had actually neutralized an attack like that.

And the sword in his hand was already covered in cracks, on the verge of shattering at any moment.

To fight "Captain Kid," Eustass Kid, whose bounty was 315 million Beli, to this extent—just who was this Wuli?

The fact that Wuli had needed to unleash so many consecutive techniques to neutralize Eustass Kid's attack showed just how powerful Kid was.

Sweat covered Wuli's forehead as he endured the churning of his blood and breathed heavily.

For him, he had practically used every ounce of his strength.

Eustass Kid wanted to continue attacking, but the moment he tried to take a step, he collapsed to the ground.

That last move had drained him heavily, leaving him temporarily exhausted.

Killer caught Eustass Kid.

He hoisted him onto his back and hurried toward the Kid Pirates' ship.

As he ran, he shouted for the pirates on the ship to set sail immediately.

Just as Wuli tried to give chase, his legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed as well. The zombie hurled a fierce mass of flames at him.

Like an incendiary bomb, it instantly surrounded Wuli.

Wuli barely moved the sword in his hand, intending to forcibly unleash another strike.

But the sword in his hand shattered, its blade breaking into fragments that fell into the flames.

Yet the remaining sword energy still extinguished the fire.

Although this was the best chance to kill Wuli, there was no time. The Marine warship had already arrived.

Killer and the others returned to the ship, which began dodging the warship's cannon fire as it fled.

Wuli murmured, "I really gave it everything I had."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and fell.

Vaguely, he felt a soft, warm body supporting him, while a faint fragrance drifted into his nose.

Before he could think further, Wuli's head tilted to one side, and he fainted.

Wuli's head happened to be resting against Hina's full breasts. Hina's face reddened, and she was just about to slap him when she saw that he truly was unconscious and held herself back.

Her face slightly flushed, Hina called someone over to look after Wuli while she directed the warship to pursue Kid and his crew.

At the same time, the Heroic Way System in Wuli's mind gave a soft chime, indicating that the mission had been completed.

But Wuli, unconscious as he was, knew nothing of it.
