One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 112 Can you take me down, Akainu?! [6.2K]

Call ~
Before the smoke had even dissipated, he had already glimpsed Kuina flying overhead, her sword flashing brightly, pointing directly at Dalmesia.

"Hey Hey hey……"

Dalmesia raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. "You came straight for me as soon as you showed up? Isn't that a bit..."

"That's incredibly arrogant! Pirates!"

Kuina's blade was about to strike her throat when a flash of red light appeared in his eyes. He abruptly turned his head to dodge, and his half-beast-like canine claws, already imbued with dense Armament Haki, grabbed her wrist in a backhand strike—

clang!
Amidst the clanging of metal, Kuina parried with her sword, using the momentum to flip backward, the tip of her blade sparking as she landed with a swift thud.

Dalmesia was also jolted back two steps by the shock.

He looked down at his claws, where a thick white mark had appeared across all five fingers, on the hard, steel-like finger bones.

“Interesting…” He licked his sharp canines. “Little girl, your swordsmanship is not bad, but unfortunately, your strength is still lacking.”

Guina did not answer, but slowly adjusted her breathing. Her tiger's mouth was slightly numb, but her hand holding the knife remained as steady as a rock.

“So…” Dalmesia suddenly bent slightly, his leg muscles tensing like springs, “that’s not enough!”

Swish!
His figure vanished suddenly, leaving only a lingering shadow in the same spot.

Kuina's pupils contracted sharply. Although she hadn't yet mastered Observation Haki, her keen intuition as a swordswoman allowed her to make a judgment immediately.

Left side!

clang!
The blade of the Wado Ichimonji barely managed to block the attacking claws, the immense impact causing her to slide back several meters.

Dalmesia revealed himself, his offensive unabated, his claws striking like a storm.

Ding!Ding!Ding!
The clanging of metal continued, sparks flew everywhere. Kuina's swordsmanship was as smooth as flowing water, each strike was precisely parried, but she was still forced to retreat step by step by the aftershocks.

"Hey! What's wrong?!"

Dalmesia smirked, "All you can do is passively defend? Where did your earlier momentum go?"

Snap! His tail suddenly lashed out like a whip, fast and fierce.

Kuina's attention was focused on the opponent's claws. She hurriedly dodged, but was still grazed on the waist. A burning pain shot through her, and she staggered, almost falling to the ground.

Fortunately, this moment arrived.

Nojiko finally broke through the combined blockade of several naval officers and reached the vicinity.

"I'm here to help you!"

The blue light on the mithril glove suddenly surged, and her right fist slammed towards Dalmesia's side like a cannonball!
"—Ripple Fist Technique: Ultimate Collapse!"

"Ok?"

The Dalmesia dog's ears twitched slightly, its attack faltered, and it used its left paw to defend and block.

In the instant fists and claws collided, Kuina seized the opening and slashed her blade diagonally upwards: "Reverse Wind Cut!"

Stab it!

Dalmesia's military green suit was ripped open, and a bloody gash stretched from his abdomen to his chest.

In pain, he roared in fury and clenched his right claw into a fist, smashing it towards Nojiko's face!
Without hesitation, Nojiko withdrew his fist, crossed his arms to block in front of him, and with a whoosh, Armament Haki, as black as ink, instantly covered his entire arm.

Boom!
With a muffled thud, she was sent flying backward by the punch, rolling several times on the ground before quickly regaining her footing with a somersault.

She shook her arm, which was a little numb but completely unharmed, and a smile of excitement appeared on her lips.

"Not bad, big dog." She cracked her knuckles as she flexed her wrists. "But—this is more powerful!"

A year ago, in Cocoyasi Village, when her boxing skills were entering a critical stage of advancement, Xia Nuo served as her full-time sparring partner for a period of time.

The opponent's strength seems to be about the same as his brother's back then, or even a little weaker?
I can adapt completely!

"...?"

Dalmesia glanced down at the wound on his chest, where blood was slowly seeping out. This unacceptable sight instantly ignited a fierce glint in his eyes.

"Two ignorant brats!"

His body began to swell, his hair grew wildly, and in the blink of an eye he completely transformed into a huge black and white spotted dog, over five meters long, much more robust than Ah Yin.

"Since that's the case, then I'll show you the true strength of a veteran lieutenant general from headquarters!"

Kuina and Nojiko stood back to back, turned their heads, and exchanged a knowing glance.

"As we agreed before, I will be the main attacker."

The girl with black hair and a high ponytail said in a low voice.

"clear."

The blue-haired girl clapped her fists together. "I'll create opportunities for you from the flank."

"Roar--!"

Dalmesia slammed his hind leg into the ground, and the solid surface of the dock cracked instantly.

His massive body moved with astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, he had pounced on the two of them.

The fangs and teeth reflected a mirror-like luster in the sunlight, mirroring the resolute gazes cast upon the two girls as they looked up at the same time.

At the same time, it also reflects the battlefield on the other side—

……

"White Fist!"

"Shoulder muscle Shoot!"

Boom!
Smoker and Zeff repelled the naval forces that were attacking from the left and right, respectively, and landed on the ground, standing side by side.

Their gazes simultaneously locked onto the alluring figure draped in a cloak of justice not far ahead.

Lieutenant General Bumaya was lightly licking the tip of the syringe with the tip of her tongue, her eyes gleaming with a morbid excitement.

"Hey, old man."

Smoker, munching on a cigar, muttered, "This woman doesn't seem quite right, and her Devil Fruit ability is weird too. Be careful."

"I've lived for so many years, what kind of madmen haven't I seen?"

Zeff grinned, slightly raising his right leg, the joints of his steel prosthetic limb making a soft clicking sound. "You, chain smoker, better not hold me back."

"Heh..." Smoker's lips twitched, and without saying another word, he clenched his fists and quietly covered them with Armament Haki.

"Wow, this is so exciting!"

Bumaya suddenly covered her mouth and giggled, "Two grown men going to attack together? Great, great! Actually, what I like most is... turning tough guys like you into sieves, bit by bit!"

Swish!
She took to the air with a moonwalk, her figure flashing, and when she reappeared, she was above Smoker's head, the syringe piercing down like a spear!

"Time for your shots, kids!" she giggled.

shave!
Smoker dodged instantly, and the ground where he had been standing was pierced by the syringe, instantly corroding a charred pit.

"poison?!"

Zeff's pupils contracted, and he roared, "Watch out, Smoker! This guy's syringe can release deadly poison!"

"You're only realizing it now? Too late!"

Bumaya's figure appeared behind Zeff again, like a ghost, and the syringe swept towards his neck.

"Is that so!" Zeff's eyes flashed with malice, and he didn't hesitate to pull back and kick back.

Is this some kind of sneak attack? Do you really think you're so old and senile that you can't react in time?!
clang!
The steel prosthetic limb, imbued with Armament Haki, deflected the syringe with a powerful whip kick!

Bumaya was also repelled, but she just laughed and persisted. While she was still in mid-air and had not yet landed, the tip of the syringe suddenly spun rapidly and sprayed out a pink mist!
"A doctor's heart is benevolent, and his spirit is sweet!"

The pink mist rushed towards Zeff and Smoker, carrying a warm and sweet fragrance, yet it instantly changed their expressions, causing them to back away—

Crack!

A dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly lit up the sky, and a semi-circular, dome-like electric field of lightning instantly enveloped the two of them.

"Well done, Gin!"

Upon seeing this familiar scene, Zeff turned around and shouted.

"Ouch——!"

Ah Yin swiftly swept past the flank, rampaging through the crowd, unstoppable by anyone.

The two major generals tried to stop it, but even working together, they were still overwhelmed and unable to resist, only managing to hold it back.

Otherwise, A-Yin wouldn't have been able to find the time to help her companions here.

zizi~
The electric field of lightning continued to spread, not only keeping the pink mist out but also bouncing it off.

The fog spread rapidly with the sea breeze, and soon enveloped many marines in the surrounding area.

"not good!"

A naval captain's expression changed drastically, and he shouted sternly, "It's Vice Admiral Bumaya's ability! Hold your breath and retreat to the outer perimeter!"

Many people were startled and realized what was happening, but a considerable number were caught off guard and inhaled the gas.

"Die, die!"

"Who are you? Die too!"

The marines who inhaled the pink smoke instantly became heavy-breathed, their eyes turned bloodshot, and they seemed to regard everything around them as mortal enemies, wildly swinging their swords at anyone they saw.

The navy's encirclement was instantly breached, leaving a huge gap and chaos ensuing.

"Good opportunity, Nami! Let's break out from here and get ready to board the ship!"

"Understood, Uncle Zeff!"

The orange-haired figure rushed toward the Fallen Star on the shore. Several naval officers tried to stop him, but were blocked by a sudden surge of fire.

"Ouch...it's so hot!"

"Damn it, where did this fire come from? Is it that giant wolf causing trouble again?!"

It's me!
Nami, who was almost breaking out of the encirclement, felt a sudden sense of despair.

What's wrong with these guys?

Lightning is lightning, and fire is fire. Why are you calling me Gintoki...?

Are they all blind? Can't they see where the flames are coming from?
……

Sizzle—smack!

At the same time, the lightning field finally collapsed.

Zeff's steel prosthetic limb slammed heavily into the ground, the shockwave dispersing the remaining mist. He looked up at the female lieutenant general opposite him:

"Thanks to the opportunity you created, it's a good thing your so-called 'benevolent heart as a doctor' doesn't even spare your own people."

For the first time, Bumaya's smile froze on her face.

She suddenly turned her head and looked behind her.

The marines who were hallucinating continued to attack each other, and the area affected by their hallucinations continued to expand.

Chaos spread like a plague through the ranks of the army. The unaffected marines were forced to defend themselves while retreating, and the encirclement in this direction had completely collapsed.

"Hey, you bunch of useless trash, you've embarrassed me, you know that?!"

She screamed hysterically, and the syringe suddenly deformed and elongated, while the needle tip suddenly expanded.

"Then get me back to normal, you idiots! If you still won't get back to normal, then let me be the one to free you—"

"A Doctor's Compassionate Heart - A Thorough Cleaning!"

Hundreds of tiny poison needles rained down on the out-of-control marines, who instantly collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth. The marines on the periphery, though saved by her, were filled with terrified stares.

"Crazy woman!"

Smoker's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but curse, "Hey! You bastard, how can you do this and live up to the word 'justice' behind it?!"

As a traitor to the Navy, he would try to use his smoke ability to suffocate and knock out the low-ranking marines who tried to stop him, rendering them unable to fight, rather than directly killing them.

And this woman...

As a vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters, he is so heartless and insane that he has no awareness of the lives of his subordinates!
This volley of poison needles has killed at least a hundred marines without explanation... How could they do that?
madman!

Another madman like Onigumo!

Fortunately, I made my own choice in Loguetown.

If we continue to work with such insects, how can we possibly have the nerve to talk about "justice"?!

"What are you muttering about, you traitorous navy officer? Is this justice?"

Bulmaia flashed forward again, "This doesn't seem like something you're qualified to discuss right now, does it? As long as it helps Mr. Sakazuki, what's a few sacrificial soldiers compared to eliminating you pirates..."

boom--! ! !
A deafening explosion suddenly erupted in the northern sky, causing the entire island to tremble.

Both of them were slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked up.

As far as the eye could see, crimson lava poured down like a torrential rain, turning the distant clouds a dark red.

What a terrifying noise.

As expected of Mr. Sakazuki...

Bumaya's eyes glazed over instantly, her cheeks flushed an unnatural red, and even the hand holding the syringe trembled slightly.

"Hey, why don't you just put down your weapon and surrender obediently? That way, when I give you the injection later, I'll use a little less force."

She suddenly spoke in a cloyingly sweet voice, tilting her head and giving Smoker a strange smile:

"Can't you see? Mr. Sakazuki is already furious. Your captain will soon be a charred corpse..."

"Six Styles Secret Technique: Mountain-blown Ripple Dash!"

boom!
The moment the punch was unleashed, a huge shockwave rose from the surrounding ground, and the nearly 100-meter-long natural stone bridge in the distance completely collapsed and broke apart.

Akainu, who was standing right next to him, had his face trembling violently like waves, creating layers of ripple-like wrinkles.

wrong!

His pupils suddenly contracted.

This move seemed to be the pinnacle of the brat's physical skills, incorporating internal destruction techniques using Armament Haki. It seemed I shouldn't have—

The thought had barely formed when a terrifying impact had already penetrated his body!

Click!

A clear cracking sound came from Akainu's chest, and his upper body clothing was instantly shredded.

He was sent flying backwards like a kite with a broken string, crashing through several giant rocks along the way before finally slamming heavily into the cliff face on the coast!
Rumbling--

The entire cliff collapsed upon impact, sending tons of rubble crashing down and completely burying Akainu's figure.

With a whoosh, the shockwave whipped up waves tens of meters high, which then turned into a torrential downpour, pouring down onto the pile of rubble.

"Huh, huh..."

Xia Nuo maintained his punching stance, hot white steam rising from his fist. He was breathing heavily, his eyes fixed on the ruins below.

Wow!

A giant hand covered in lava suddenly shattered the rubble!

Akainu slowly stood up, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and his chest slightly caved in, but apart from that, he was unharmed and his aura remained as strong as ever.

"..."

Is it bleeding?

He narrowed his eyes slightly, momentarily unable to recall when he had last seen his own blood.

It's been many years...

Akainu didn't wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He simply raised his head expressionlessly and met Shano's gaze from the cliff above.

"What are you looking at?"

Xia Nuo grinned. "My offensive isn't over yet!"

Is this a Navy Admiral?

The attack that had previously completely crushed Crocodile only caused him to bleed a little and make a fool of himself that no one saw?
That's fucking tough!
The moment he finished speaking, Xia Nuo's figure had already vanished!

shave!
This time, the speed was even faster than before. Almost in the instant that the fist, wrapped in the ripples of the mountain, left an afterimage on Akainu's retina, it had already slammed into his temple!

"It's useless. The same move can only work once."

Akainu spoke in a low voice. His Observation Haki had already anticipated this, and his head instantly became elemental, allowing the punch to pass through.

At the same time, his right knee suddenly rose, the lava-covered knee aimed straight for Shano's abdomen!

"Iron!"

Xia Nuo neither dodged nor yielded; his abdominal muscles instantly tensed like iron as he took the knee strike head-on. At the same time, he thrust his hands together, like a storm, straight toward Akainu's chest!

"Fingergun - Rain of Waves!"

With a whoosh, the finger guns of Xia Nuo were barely visible to the naked eye, but Akainu's figure was as swift as a willow leaf in the wind, dodging almost all of them.

This is the embodiment of the highest level of skill in paper drawing.

He rose through the ranks from a recruit in the main training camp, and his six techniques are also at a world-class level!
Boom!
Boom! !

Boom! ! !
A dull thud echoed along the coast, creating a chilling reverberation.

Before they knew it, the two had already exchanged dozens of blows.

The more they fought, the more heated they seemed to get. Eventually, both sides gave up dodging and resorted to pure physical strength to clash head-on.

The magma collided with the ripples created by the fist wind, exploding into visible shockwaves.

The entire coastline collapsed continuously under the fierce battle, and seawater poured into the newly formed pits, where it was instantly evaporated into billowing white mist by the high temperature of the molten lava.

"To have fought me this long, as a kid who's only a teenager, you really have something to be proud of."

Amidst the rapidly passing figures, Akainu spoke in a low voice, "But, it's about time to stop here."

At this moment, his clothes were tattered, and his exposed body was covered with bruises and bloodstains in many places.

The navy cap he had worn for many years had mysteriously disappeared.

He did look rather disheveled.

But compared to Xia Nuoyi on the other side, it's nothing.

At this moment, the black-haired boy was covered with shocking burns all over his body. In some places, you could even see the charred flesh curled up, emitting scalding white smoke.

However, the most serious damage was to the sides of the waist and abdomen, where the bare white bones were exposed.

Although the wound pierced by lava is slowly healing, new blood seeps out with every movement.

In addition, his left arm was hanging down somewhat unnaturally.

It is clear that when blocking a heavy blow, the force was not balanced, and the impact was not completely absorbed, resulting in a fracture that is difficult to recover from in a short period of time.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party's physique was strong enough and that they had not demonstrated an amazing self-healing ability, it would have been a different story.

In that series of close-quarters, high-intensity exchanges just now, they should have been defeated long ago.

"Cough, cough..."

Xia Nuo was breathing heavily, and his aura was rapidly weakening.

Boom! They clashed with Akainu's fist again. The former was only knocked back several steps by the shock, while he was directly blasted into the ground.

Click, click.

Spiderweb-like cracks spread out densely, and Akainu landed at the edge of the pit, staring expressionlessly at the stumbling figure who had finally managed to crawl out of the dust.

"All you do is talk big, you old man?"

Xia Nuo's face was pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His mouth twisted into a grin that reached his ears. "We've been fighting for over half an hour! You said the same thing half an hour ago, and look at you now? You still haven't managed to take me down!!!"

"..."

Akainu's gaze darkened slightly, but he was powerless to refute those words.

Although the opponent only managed to inflict damage on him a few times, he was constantly on the defensive the rest of the time.

But just as the kid said, more than half an hour had passed, and he still hadn't been able to bring the other person down completely.

This was undoubtedly a disgrace for him as a naval admiral.

"The fact that you can hold me off for so long with this kind of fighting style that you risk injury to survive is something that few people on the high seas can do. To be precise, below the level of the Four Emperors, there is only one Marco, and now you are added to the list."

Akainu spoke in a low voice, "You've certainly impressed me, kid..."

"But ultimately, your playing style requires physical stamina, right?"

“Right now, your breath is so weak, your strength should be reaching its limit soon, so I wasn’t wrong, it really should end here, including your companions. Do you really think that in this state you can continue to hold out until your comrades escape…”

Right at this moment.

Snapped!
Suddenly, a column of orange-yellow flame rose from the distant sea, exploding in the sky like fireworks.

"Oh?"

Witnessing this, Xia Nuo's eyes lit up, and she suddenly chuckled, "It seems they really did it?"

what?
A cold glint flashed in Akainu's eyes, and he ascended to a high place with a single step.

Looking into the distance, one could see that the ships of the Fallen Pirates had already left the port and were speeding towards the open sea.

His face turned completely gloomy.

Dalmesia, Bumaya, two vice admirals from headquarters, plus several captains and more than two thousand elite marines...

With such a large fighting force, they still couldn't keep the enemy at the port?

What are these useless idiots doing?!

Om-!
Akainu's lower body suddenly transformed into elemental form, and billowing molten lava shot out backward, intending to use the recoil to fly directly towards the southern port.

But after flying only a few meters, his vision suddenly blurred, and a figure flashed above his head, delivering a powerful downward kick.

"Give me--"

With a sinister grin, Xia Nuo delivered a powerful downward axe-like slam into Akainu's shoulder!

"Get down!!!"

Boom——! ! !
Akainu's pupils contracted, but his body had no time to react. Like a meteorite, he plummeted from hundreds of meters in the air and crashed heavily into the rocky beach below!

The terrifying impact shook the entire coastline, sending rocks flying, dust billowing into the sky, and the aftershocks creating giant waves tens of meters high on the sea!

"cough……"

Akainu propped himself up from the deep pit, coughing several times as his magma-like body dripped down, and looked up at the sky in disbelief.

Such speed and power are clearly something that could only be displayed when the opponent is at their peak. How could this be?
"What are you thinking, you old man? I'm your opponent!"

The black-haired boy's loud laughter reached their ears, and he seemed to be crunching something in his mouth. "Now that we've come this far, how can we give up now and let you stop my companions!"
