Pirate: I am a logistics person, what the hell is the emperor

Chapter 382: The Fruit of Destruction

"Well done, Admiral!!"

"Even Roronoa is no match for the Captain, hahaha!"

"Kill this bastard quickly and avenge us!!"

Around the dilapidated streets, groups of pirates stood on the rooftops to watch the battle.

Seeing that Zoro, who had been on a killing spree before and even killed Shiryu of Rain, was seriously injured by Teach, the ferocious pirates around him looked at each other with fiery eyes and became excited.

"Thief hahaha~thief hahahaha!!"

A wild and sinister laugh echoed in the air. After a successful strike, Teach stared at Zoro's blood-soaked shoulder, the bones barely visible, with a sinister smile in his eyes:

"Your left hand can no longer hold a sword, right? Losing an arm in battle is a fatal injury for a swordsman~"

“Roronoa——!!”

Tiqi let out a hoarse growl, his eyes became fierce, and the strange purple energy once again flowed onto the steel claws on the back of his hands, stabbing down without mercy!
Judging from the marks left on the steel bars by the previous blow, this is definitely not a move that can be resisted. Even if Zoro uses the black sword Shusui, he is not sure that he can resist this strange move.

After suffering a loss, he did not choose to fight back, but gritted his teeth and retreated backwards.

Stupid!
The steel claws missed and pierced the ground as easily as cutting tofu. Tiqi did not stop moving and raised his hand forward fiercely!
"Death Claws!!"

The purple energy transformed into a slashing blow across the ground, like the sharp claws of a mad lion. Everything was cut in its path, leaving behind corrosive energy that slowly spread.

"Three Swords Style. Ugh!"

Zoro, who was about to swing his sword to disperse the incoming attack, paused. As soon as he raised his hand, his face turned pale and he looked in pain. The wound on his shoulder immediately felt a piercing pain.

It was a critical moment when he was about to be hit by the purple slash.

A burly figure passed by at high speed, dragging a dragon tail covered with layers of green scales, holding a mace in his hand and roaring ferociously, and swiftly rushed towards Teach's attack!
"Thunder! Roar! Eight! Trigrams!!"

boom! !

The terrifying impact carried the force of thunder, hitting the three purple claws and easily shattering them. The violent explosion raised billowing smoke and dust and spread out.

"Kekaido?!"

When he saw the figure, Tiqi's face changed and his pupils shrank into needles, and then he reacted immediately.

"No! Kaido should have been dead a long time ago, you bastard!"

Tiqi gritted his teeth and his eyes darkened.

There is no doubt that the burly figure in front of him, covered with dragon scales, with muscular body and full of wild power, can only be Reiner's ghost.

Even Kaido's soul was taken into his possession, the Mythical Beast Necromancer form.
Whenever a powerful undead appeared, a hint of heat and greed could not help but flash across the depths of Teach's eyes.

Even though he has found a power comparable to the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he can't help but imagine himself gaining Reiner's ability.

Sizzle—bang!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Zoro lost his balance and hit a wall. He coughed up several mouthfuls of blood that sprayed onto the ground.

Feeling the bone-gnawing pain in his shoulder, Zoro couldn't help but be glad that he was decisive enough just now. If he hadn't cut off the corroded flesh in a moment, it would definitely not be as simple as losing an arm.

"This doesn't look like the ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit. I see. Is this what Reiner meant when he said be careful with your tactics?"

Zoro raised his head and shifted his gaze towards Teach with difficulty.

Before the battle, Reiner told everyone about Blackbeard's intelligence, and in a speculative way, vaguely revealed the fact that the other party might have more than one ability.

Zoro naturally would not doubt Reiner's information, but it was still too hard to imagine that he could possess two abilities at the same time.

In addition, Teach has not yet demonstrated any ability. As the battle continues, Zoro subconsciously adapts to the 'fact' that Teach only has dark abilities.

"Such a powerful move, but he kept it hidden until there was an opportunity for a sneak attack."

"Tsk! The words forbearance and insidious are really the most suitable for you."

Zoro looked solemn, sneered, and raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

It was not until this moment that the pair of steel claws on the opposite side of Teach's hands dissipated the purple energy attached to them, and instead black mist appeared on his body and clung to the wounds.

Cold sweat was oozing from Teach's forehead. It was not difficult to see that he was not feeling well after taking several blows from Zoro.

Although the Dark-Dark Fruit's ability can even absorb injuries, the pain felt when being attacked will not disappear, not to mention that his sense of pain is far higher than that of ordinary people.

This means a great risk in battle. If the pain reaches a certain level, it may even make him temporarily lose his resistance, but the benefits brought by this risk are definitely worth it.

"Hahahahaha! The darkness that can devour everything and turn anything into nothingness, and the Corrosion Fruit that can disintegrate and shatter everything."

Teach put his hands on his waist and released different abilities at the same time. Black mist slowly flowed and rose from his left palm, and a circle of translucent purple energy waves was attached to his right fist.

Standing on a dilapidated house, Teach looked down with a ferocious grin on his face:

"This is my strongest form. Although it's a shame I couldn't take away Dad's power of shockwaves, the destructive power of this ability is only getting stronger now!"

"Erosion Fruit?"

Zoro's brows furrowed.

"That's right. The erosion energy I release will corrupt everything it touches, corroding and rapidly disintegrating from the inside out at a level invisible to the naked eye, just like this—"

Tiqi smiled sinisterly and raised his right hand, which was filled with flowing energy, above his head. He bent his five fingers and faced the palm towards the sky. A purple beam of light shot up into the sky.

After reaching high altitude, the purple beam of light suddenly exploded, and like a gorgeous firework blooming, it transformed into countless finger-thick streams of light that covered the entire sky!
"Eclipse·Death Sky Curtain!!"

call out!call out!call out!
At Teach's shout, dense streams of light fell from the sky, and purple rain containing decomposition energy covered the earth!
"Wait a minute!"

"We're still here, Admiral!"

The Sky of Death does not distinguish between friend and foe, and launches indiscriminate attacks on all living things on the earth. Faced with this large-scale move that covers the sky and the sun, the surrounding pirates' eyes are filled with fear.

Sizzle—sizzle!

The corrosive rain fell on the ground, eroding and crumbling all the buildings, which quickly turned into sand and were blown away by the wind during the collapse.

“—Hiss!!”

“Run! Uwaa ...

Faced with this intensive attack, the pirates had no way to avoid it. Soon many of them were affected, their clothes were torn, and their skin and flesh turned purple as if poisoned, and soon began to corrode as well.

Some pirates tried to raise their shields to block the attack, but neither wooden nor steel shields suffered the same fate, and were all corroded and decomposed by the rain transformed from the erosion energy.

"The shield doesn't work!"

"Run!"

“—Ahhh! It hurts!”

"Help! Help me!" In an instant, cries of agony filled the air, and blood flowed like a river. The flesh of the bandits was corroded, revealing their white bones. When the 'rain' touched them, even the bones were eaten away and decomposed into white powder, which was then blown away by the wind and disappeared into the air.

"Itsukushin: Ekanogatari!!"

Zoro jumped and dodged among the ruins a few times, and with the only arm that could move, he swung his sword and made a flying slash, like a blue bird spreading its wings and flying into the sky to bombard the corrosive rain above his head.

Zoro took in all the scenes around him. Although they were all enemies, Teach's methods were so cruel that even he couldn't help but frown.

"It's not corrosion like strong acid, but decomposition from the inside."

"Even steel can't resist it at all. No wonder the other party said that this is an ability with destructive power comparable to the Tremor-Tremor Fruit."

Zoro muttered in a deep voice, analyzing quickly in his mind to try to find a way to crack this tricky ability.

"Stop getting in the way, you stupid idiots! At this point, your lives don't matter!"

Teach's eyes were fierce and cruel, and he didn't care about his subordinates who were affected by his power.

If he loses the battle, he will die. He and the Straw Hat Pirates are already at war to the death. Teach knows that the other party will never let him go, and similarly, he will never let the other party go.

As long as we can capture Reiner and take his devil fruit, we won't need such men anymore!

"Eclipse Star Explosion Bomb!!"

Teach spread out his five fingers, and grape-sized corrosive energy balls emerged from his palms. He waved his hands vigorously and swept them in front of him, and several compressed energy balls flew out quickly.

"Ichidao Style: Three Hundred and Sixty Troubled Phoenixes!!"

Zoro bent his arm and raised the black sword Shusui in front of his face. The black blade drew a circle and swung out a large-scale flying slash.

boom! ! boom! ! boom! !

As soon as the flying slash hit, the grape-like energy bombs exploded immediately.

The erosion energy spread rapidly in a circle, covering the surrounding environment, and everything affected was completely decomposed and annihilated!
"Oops!"

Seeing that the erosion energy was about to spread in front of him, Zoro was shocked and quickly pulled back.

"Hahaha!!"

Teach swung wildly with both hands, sending out several energy bullets with each sweep, either chasing Zoro or shooting at the undead that tried to attack him.

In the face of this all-destroying force, any defense is futile. He can even control and detonate these compressed energy bombs at any time.

boom! ! boom! ! boom! !

In an instant, continuous explosions echoed over the ruins.

The entire area was filled with dark purple energy circles that suddenly expanded, annihilating everything and leaving smooth semicircular pits in their place.

“This is trouble.”

Zoro tapped the ground and quickly shuttled between the buildings, using the few ruined buildings that were still standing to avoid the continuous attacks, his expression becoming more and more solemn.

The power of the Erosion Fruit is undoubtedly more difficult than imagined, and even his domineering aura is not sure that he can resist it.

If you touch it, you will be corroded and decomposed. You must be very careful when getting close to it, and this may not give you an advantage in close combat.

Moreover, his left hand was now disabled, and his fighting ability was almost reduced to half.
"Zoron——!!"

Just as he was dodging and thinking about countermeasures, a familiar voice came from above. Zoro subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice and saw three figures suddenly falling from the sky.

On the other side, Teach was stunned at first. Several undead spirits that were surrounding and fighting against him from all directions suddenly disappeared. As if realizing something, he suddenly looked up at the sky!
"Straw Hat Boy, Black Snake Reiner, and Blackfoot Sanji!"

When he saw the people coming, Tiqi gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, his eyes immediately became gloomy. He hated these three people more than each other.

Especially Reiner and Sanji who ate the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

"Hahaha! I'm here, Zoro--!"

Luffy fell from the sky with his mouth wide open, and the strong wind blew his black hair wildly.

Snapped!Snapped!
Sanji on the side locked his eyes on Teach, stomping his feet on the air continuously, making waves of sound, and diving down at an ever-increasing speed like an arrow.

"Destruction Wind Legs·Explosion Grill!!"

boom! !

Sanji came to the sky above Teach from nearly a hundred meters away, bent down and turned quickly a few times, and his right foot, combined with the powerful centrifugal force, chopped down like a battle axe!
The heel hit the atmosphere, and it was violently shattered like a mirror, causing the scene below to distort. The invisible shock wave spread and enveloped Teach and the entire earth!
Boom! !

Over a vast area, soil and rocks rose in uneven patterns, and the ground collapsed layer by layer. Looking down from the sky, the earth looked like a huge grill, cracking into quick squares.

“——Puwa!”

Teach opened his mouth and spurted out blood, his eyes were bloodshot and revealed a look of pain, and the air around him turned into substance, like an invisible hydraulic press, squeezing his body into a meat patty.

boom! ! boom! !
Reiner and Luffy both fell near Zoro.

His feet stomped heavily on the ground, causing the soil and rocks to crack and spread out like a spider web. He raised his hand to hold down the straw hat that was almost blown away, and Luffy raised his head excitedly.

"So!"

As soon as he looked up, Luffy saw the bloody wound on Zoro's shoulder. His face changed and he ran up quickly.

"Hey, what's going on? Are you okay, Zoro?"

"It seems that Aokiji has taken care of it. Don't worry, it's just a flesh wound. I'm fine."

Seeing the two arrive, Zoro finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his body softened and he leaned against the broken wall beside him.

Cold sweat was still oozing from his forehead, he was breathing heavily, and sweat soaked his clothes and stuck to his muscles. It was obvious that his injury was not as serious as he said, and it was no longer possible for him to continue fighting.

"Go get treated first. Chopper is over there in the square. I'll have the undead take him to you."

Reiner paused, then changed the subject and sighed:
"Let the falcon take you there faster."

After a quick check, he had a general understanding of Zoro's situation.

If I leave it alone, my left hand will probably be crippled, and I will have to hold the three swords with my buttocks from now on.

Zoro saw the malicious thoughts in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

The importance of arms to a swordsman is self-evident. With Reiner and Luffy here, the only one he needs to worry about is himself.

"Then I'll leave this to you."

As he said that, Zoro took the headscarf off his left arm, gritted his teeth and endured the pain as he wrapped it tightly around his shoulders.

"call--"

After a simple treatment to stop the bleeding, Zoro breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Teach with a serious look. At the same time, he handed over the information gained from the battle to Reiner.
"Be careful, in addition to the Dark-Dark Fruit, Blackbeard also has another very tricky ability."
