The cut-up wreckage of the ship floated on the sea level together with the corpses of the pirates. Blood seeped down along the cut surfaces of the hull, dyeing the seawater a turbid dark red.
On the only surviving flagship, the carelessness on the faces of the Charlotte Family, who had taken action to destroy and attack them, was swept away by a wave of solemnity.
They never expected that in this broken place like West Blue, besides the old guy Chinjao, there was actually a hidden owner of Conqueror's Haki.
Looking at the entire Charlotte Family, there are only two people who can master this qualification.
"Counter, Cadenza, Cabalette."
Perospero's long tongue flicked at the corner of his mouth and licked away a drop of cold sweat caused by nervousness.
"Go and test that guy's quality. Don't be careless and use your full strength."
After some simple thinking, he made this decision.
Not every Conqueror's Haki owner is very strong. Maybe the half-human, half-bat guy in front of him has only just Awakening ed recently, and his potential has not yet been polished by battles and desperate situations.
If the three brothers join forces and attack with all their strength, they may not have no chance of winning.
"Yes, brother Perospero."
The invisible Busoshoku Haki emerged from the bodies of the three brothers, hardened along every line of the skin, and covered the entire body.
They pressed their feet hard at the same time. Under the huge force, the bow of the flagship was slammed downward by this force, the stern of the ship was raised high, and the water at the bottom of the ship was squeezed out of two white water walls.
The bodies of the three brothers crashed through the waves stirred up by the bow of the ship, roaring towards the coast. The moment the soles of the last man's feet left the deck, waves of syrup spurted out from the surface of Perospero's body, and the thick sugar liquid formed a waterfall in mid-air and hit the raised stern of the ship.
The huge weight forced the stern back to the sea, and the hull shook violently several times before regaining its balance.
The three brothers landed on the ground, creating dents one after another. Mud and gravel rose into the sky, and the shock wave pushed the surrounding patrol members back.
Daz·Daz Bones didn't give them time to adjust their posture. The soles of their feet turned into blades and slid rapidly on the gravel-covered ground. They approached Cabalette who was closest to them in the shortest way. The right arm started to rotate from the shoulder joint, and the entire arm turned into a high-speed rotating spiral blade, slashing hard at the opponent's back.
"[Spiral Slash]".
Whoosh!
Cabalette suddenly disappeared on the spot. Among the three brothers, he was the most agile. The speed that his strong and almost bulky body erupted was completely inversely proportional to his size.
Daz·Daz Bones's spiral blade cut through the afterimage he left in place, slashing into the empty space. The rotational inertia of the blade caused him to stagger.
Cabalette appeared beside him, Armament Haki Hardening raised his fist high, and the air was blasted by this punch, making an ear-splitting roar.
With a muffled sound, Daz's iron body was hit by the punch and flew up from the ground. A mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth. The blood droplets stretched into a thin dark red line in the air. His body plowed a several-meter-long ravine on the ground and hit a boulder about half a man tall. His whole body was embedded in the cracks of the stone. The gravel fell down, covering half of his body.
Before Lafitte had time to adjust his position, the remaining two brothers had blocked his retreat from both front and back, and almost simultaneously blasted Armament Haki Hardening's fists
"[Cream Fist]"
"Two huge forces from the front and back crashed into the body at the same time. Lafitte heard the crisp sound of his bones breaking. The cane flew out of his hand. The whole person fell softly to the ground like a paper man that was crushed flat.
The two people who have not mastered Haki are vulnerable to the monster from New World.
The fall of the two commanders was like a bucket of ice water poured on the fire of war that the patrol had finally started.
Their hands holding the weapons began to tremble, their steps moved back involuntarily, and the soles of their boots left hesitant drag marks on the ground.
Counter and Cadenza worked in tacit understanding to surround Lafitte who fell on the ground. Two thick arms were raised at the same time, with Armament Haki flowing on their fists, ready to give the enemy the final blow.
Just when two pairs of fists were about to come into contact with Lafitte's head, a throat-piercing shout suddenly came from the deck:
"Get out of the way!"
Perospero's reminder is a step too late.
"[Ketsudanpa]!"
The rapid blood flow converged into a line and merged into the external Armament Haki, shooting from a distance like a laser.
The dark red beam penetrated all the dust suspended in the air along the way, and pierced the Haki covering the necks of Counter and Cadenza.
The Haki armor around the brothers' necks only lasted a few tenths of a second before shattering under the impact of the blood flow. The remaining force of the blood flow opened a fist-sized blood hole in their respective throats.
The eyes of Counter and Cadenza lost focus at the same moment. They maintained their punching postures, their fingers still holding the shape of the fist, but their knees smashed into the soil first.
The two strong bodies fell forward. As they fell, the blood in their bodies broke free from the wounds under the pull of some invisible force, turned into two red ribbons, and flowed towards the figure in the distance who was slowly lowering his arms.
By the time their bodies completely touched the ground, they were as dry as Kogarashi that had been exposed to the sun for months in the desert.
"Don't go there, Cabalette, you are no match for him!"
Perospero's voice had changed its tone, and his long tongue shrank into a ball due to nervousness. The tip of his tongue repeatedly licked the gums in his mouth, and he tasted a fishy taste like rust.
Two younger brothers have already died, and a third one cannot die.
Now, he had to admit that the target was far more difficult than expected. Even if he took action personally, he would not be able to defeat Counter and Cadenza so cleanly. At least it would take a lot of effort.
How can Cabalette, who is so angry, listen to her?
He left Daz·Daz Bones lying in the rubble, kicked off his legs, and exploded at a speed that exceeded the limit.
A deep pit opened up in the soil under his feet, and he disappeared from the pit. When he reappeared, he had already flashed to the side of Lucas.
Armament Haki Hardening raised his right fist high, punched through the air, and hit the silver-haired head.
Lucas seemed to have predicted the trajectory of his attack in advance. Just when Cabalette's fist was about to touch his hair, his body disappeared from the spot and appeared above Cabalette's head, with his right fist clenched.
On the blood-red fist, dazzling arcs of electricity burst out and jumped. He lowered his right arm and punched out.
The fist penetrated directly above Cabalette's Tianling Cap and came out from the lower jaw. The head of Armament Haki Hardening exploded under the double impact of the fist and the arc.
Before the broken bones and blood mist could disperse, all the blood in the headless body seemed to be pulled by some irresistible call, spurting out from the broken neck and pouring into Lucas's open palm.
He took the blood mist condensed in his palm into his body, raised his head, and glanced coldly at Perospero on the flagship deck.
A stream of cold air rushed from the soles of Perospero's feet to Tianling Gai. His long tongue, which was never quiet, completely froze in his mouth at this moment.
His family knows his own affairs, and he knows better than anyone the level of the three brothers who followed him.
Without thinking, he jumped directly to the sea level. Waves of syrup surged out from the soles of his feet. When the sticky pink sugar liquid came into contact with the sea water, it quickly solidified into a floating board that was strong enough to bear his weight, lifting him up and flying away at high speed on the sea level.
Du Feld stood alone on the empty flagship deck, his legs shaking like two masts shaken by the wind, and his knees collided with each other, making a subtle knocking sound.
Lucas dodged behind him and struck him on the back of the neck with a hand knife of just the right amount of force.
Du Feld's eyes turned white, and his body was like a bag of flour whose sling had been cut off, and he collapsed limply on the deck.
Lucas lifted up his collar, flapped his bat wings, and flew back to the shore from the deck.
"Sorry, sir, we have embarrassed you."
Lafitte knelt on one knee, placed his fist on the broken mud, and lowered his head.
Daz·Daz Bones climbed out of the rubble and knelt down on one knee.
Lucas threw two balls of blood. The blood balls fell on the two people's bodies, melted into a thin film, and penetrated into the body along the texture of the skin.
Where Life Energy flows, the broken bones are re-glued, the torn muscles are re-sutured, and the accumulated internal bleeding is washed away by the new blood.
After the injuries healed, the blood film peeled off from their bodies and evaporated into two wisps of faint white smoke.
"Try to learn Haki as soon as possible."
"When necessary, you can actively put yourself into desperate situations. This can speed up your learning progress."
Luffy spent a year and a half learning the basics of Two-Color Haki under the personal guidance of Rayleigh, and was praised as a talented person.
It had only been a few months since I handed the pamphlet to them. Lucas really had nothing to blame these two people for yet another defeat.
"This is the last time."
Lafitte gripped the cane tightly, "I will never lose again."
"Me too."
Daz Bonez echoed.
Lucas threw the unconscious Du Feld in front of Lafitte.
"Find a way to take out everything God of Fortune Financial Group from his mouth and get God of Fortune Financial Group. His property is so big, and his security force is probably not weak, so it should give you some experience."
TO BE CONTINUED
(PS: The triplets appearing in these two chapters are quintuplets like Cream-Cream Fruit Opera. The five of them basically look the same. They appeared in the revenge army after Luffy defeated Cracker.
Cabalette relied on basic speed to catch up with Luffy, and the other two also used combined attacks to beat Luffy, using the same moves that appeared in this chapter.
In addition, I am not targeting Lafitte and Daz Bonez, but Haki's learning is measured in years. For reference, Luffy took one and a half years. Lineage Factor has not been optimized for them. It is pure nonsense to practice Haki in a few days without plug-ins and systems.
After a short plot, there will be a time jump, and the two brothers can regain their face.)
