One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

"Jack?"

Before Black Maria could react, she saw a shirtless naval boy descending from the sky.

"Drought Jack, surrender now! You can't escape today!"

"You have the right to remain silent, but anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law."

Chapter 156 Capturing Drought Jack Alive! The Sea Boils

The sky, which was originally shrouded in dark clouds, turned into a colorful ink-like hue, a complex blend of crimson and azure. The roar of thunder was incessant, and the air, which was originally cool, became suffocating as the ambient temperature rose steadily.

Rain and sweat soaked through the black low-cut, off-the-shoulder kimono, outlining the mature, heart-pounding figure of Black Maria. This charming and beautiful woman had long lost her initial composure and calmness. Even her usual pipe had been thrown to the ground, and she was now holding a strange weapon that resembled a tin staff.

One end of this tin staff is inlaid with a huge wheel the size of a millstone, with sharp blades installed on the edge of the wheel, which can even spew out scorching flames when it rotates.

Whenever Black Maria wields this staff, the flames burning on it spread rapidly along the spider webs laid out on the ground, forming a terrifying fire attack.

It has to be said that in the new world, if you don't have skills in fire and lightning, you can't even call yourself a strong person.

If that were all, this mere mortal fire would be far inferior to Yang Ming's and wouldn't be too much of a headache.

What troubles Smoker, Rob Lucci, and Kaku the most is that these spider webs contain spider venom. Once burned by flames, the invisible and colorless venom will turn into a poisonous mist that permeates the air and subtly affects people.

In ancient times, the Rose Wolf Spider, also known as the bird-catching spider, preferred to inject venom into its prey. After killing its prey, it would wrap itself in layers of spider silk and wait for the venom to melt the prey's hard bones and flesh into a puddle of meat. Then, it would absorb the prey's nutrients into its stomach through a long proboscis that it spat out.

The animal instincts inherent in Zoan-type Devil Fruits can subtly change the user in daily life. Black Maria is no exception, subconsciously following the hunting habits of the Ancient Tarantula Rose to deal with her enemies.

Perhaps this is why, after the Zoan-type Devil Fruit powers awaken, many users can no longer maintain their humanity and are reduced to being dominated by their bestial nature, becoming monsters who only know how to destroy.

Despite their best efforts to hold their breath and avoid inhaling too much poisonous fog, Smoker, Rob Lucci, and Kaku could not help but allow wisps of the fog to seep into their bodies. Their vision began to blur, and the fog even stirred up unpleasant memories in their minds.

This level of illusion, while naturally incomparable to the illusions of the Mangekyou Sharingan, can still be deadly.

"Life returned!"

The three of them turned cold, bit their tongues hard, and used the pain to break the illusion. They then unleashed this somewhat obscure naval technique.

Life can also freely control the body, hair, and internal organs. As long as consciousness is infused into it, one can freely control any part of the body.

The three of them certainly didn't have the ability to expel the toxins from their bodies immediately, but instead secretly strengthened their liver's detoxification function to minimize the impact of the spider venom on themselves.

Rob Lucci transforms into a leopard-man, his nimble leopard tail swaying behind him as his thick, fleshy feet tread the ground, deftly avoiding areas covered by spider webs. Even if he accidentally steps on a spider web, it doesn't matter; with his unique foot structure, he can easily escape from the web's entanglement.

"Finger gun! Madara!"

He moved with lightning speed, constantly appearing beside Black Maria. His ten fingers seemed to transform into a thousand-armed Guanyin, striking out in waves. Each finger possessed an extremely terrifying penetrating ability. Even though Black Maria's entire body was covered in Armament Haki from every angle, her clothes were always inevitably damaged, revealing glimpses of her exposed skin.

"Lanjiao!"

Kaku, also a former CP9 agent, is best known for his long-range attacks.

The crescent-shaped leg strikes swept out one after another, extinguishing the spreading sea of ​​fire in front of them in a fan shape, and also penetrating into the Black Maria's three-meter radius without diminishing their momentum.

Unfortunately, Black Maria simply raised one of her spider legs and easily blocked Kaku's attack.

These spider legs are scythe-shaped, with deadly poison at the tips. When covered in Armament Haki, they become as tough as steel, making them difficult to be affected by ordinary physical attacks.

Smoker transforms into swirling clouds, sometimes into a giant cloud python, and sometimes into swords, spears, and halberds.

However, Black Maria is a well-known expert in the New World, and she is proficient in Armament Haki and Observation Haki. Although her physical skills are not as good as Jack the Drought and Page One, her eight spider legs and the tin staff she wields still make her defense impenetrable, so that it is impossible to get through.

The two sides have been fighting for a long time, from the initial probing to the current bloody battle, even at the cost of their own injuries, in order to leave wounds on the enemy, and the intensity of the battle continues to rise.

Based on the frequency of their battles, it would probably have taken another half hour to see who prevails.

However, a sudden change on the neighboring battlefield abruptly brought their battle to a halt.

"boom!"

Jack the Drought's massive body flew through the air, smashing into more than a dozen unlucky souls along the way. Those who were knocked down suffered anything from shattered bones to death on the spot.

Drought Jack staggered to his feet, a shocking wound on his body.

A knife wound cut down Jack the Drought's forehead and nose, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound on his chest, before finally stopping at his abdomen, where his intestines could be vaguely seen writhing inside.

When he stood up, the injury ruptured, and a piece of his intestines protruded from his abdomen, which Jack the Drought quickly stuffed back into his stomach.

If he weren't a saddle-belted grouper-man, a race known for its incredible resilience, and not a suspected awakened Zoan-type Devil Fruit user with monstrous physique and regenerative abilities, an ordinary person suffering such injuries would likely have died long ago and wouldn't have been able to survive until now.

How could Jack have suffered such severe trauma?

Even Black Maria was shocked!

At that moment, Yang Ming descended from the sky right behind him.

After his battle with Jack the Drought, Yang Ming was not much better off. His naval uniform had long been discarded, and he was shirtless. His body bore the marks of Jack the Drought's desperate counterattack, with numerous bruises and swellings, as well as gruesome wounds left by Shorter's knife. His left arm hung limply at his sides, unable to exert any strength for the time being.

But compared to Drought Jack's disheveled appearance, Yang Ming's performance was much better.

Furthermore, Yang Ming is blessed with various passive abilities, allowing him to recover from his injuries at an astonishing speed every moment. If you were to say that he is an awakened Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, many people would probably believe it.

Land on both feet and steady your body.

Yang Ming took a deep breath, the damp and cool air filling his lungs and calming the burning sensation caused by the damage to his internal organs.

It must be said that Jack the Drought's Devil Fruit ability is truly peculiar. Not only does it cause the ground to dry up and decay wherever it goes, but if the battle goes on for a long time, this ability will also quietly invade the human body, causing Yang Ming's internal organs to be damaged without his knowledge.

If Yang Ming didn't have such a strong foundation, he probably would have been killed by Drought Jack.

In this respect, Jack the Drought has indeed inherited some of Kaido's style. On the surface, he seems to be a brainless brute, but at crucial moments he can be cunning.

The system notification echoed in his ears, but Yang Ming only glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from Honor of Kings. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"

A lottery wheel slowly appeared in my field of vision, displaying three categories of prizes: hero skins, runes, and hero skills.

Hero Skins: Wuling Immortal Lord, Phoenix Seeking Phoenix, Flying Balance...

Inscriptions: Hunting, Eagle Eye, Mutation...

Hero Skills: Dragon's Roar, Thunderous Dragon, Word of Power Barrier...

[Hunting]: Blue inscription, slightly increases attack speed and movement speed.

The blue inscription merged into Yang Ming's body, making his soul feel as comfortable as if he had taken a bite of ice cream on a hot day.

One step, two steps.

Yang Ming pressed closer and closer, and Drought Jack instinctively took a few steps back.

When Drought Jack realized that he was being forced to retreat by an unknown nobody, he was filled with boundless anger and a sense of powerlessness.

Even though the other party was only a nine-year-old boy, why did he feel as if he were facing Kaido of the Beasts?

"Jack!"

Black Maria and Page Van, the two members of the Flying Six, naturally could not stand idly by.

Not only him, but this time Drought Jack also brought several other real fighters, who have now abandoned the enemies they are fighting and are coming to support him.

Compared to Jack the Drought, a five-meter-tall saddle-belted grouper, Yang Ming, who was only one meter and three heads tall, looked like a dwarf and would not have been taken seriously by the Beasts Pirates in the past.

At this moment, however small in stature, this figure seemed to contain boundless energy.

Yang Ming's Mangekyou Sharingan was finally able to look directly at Jack the Drought. Taking advantage of the fact that the saddle-belt grouper was seriously injured and his willpower was extremely weak, Yang Ming took advantage of the situation and a black windmill-shaped pattern gradually appeared in Jack the Drought's pupils.

The moment the Zanpakuto was placed against the neck of Drought Jack, this once fearsome leader knelt down in front of countless people before the excessively young naval lieutenant, seemingly to echo Yang Ming's words and surrender!

Black Maria, Page One, and other pirates issued a desperate cry.

"No!"

"This is not true!"

Chapter 157 The wind will change direction; one day, it will blow in a brighter direction.

quiet!

silence!

Deathly silence!

The moment Drought Jack, bewitched by the Mangekyou Sharingan's genjutsu, knelt before Yang Ming, the entire scene seemed to freeze in that instant.

The Beasts Pirates, led by Black Maria and Page One, refused to believe what they were seeing and were desperately charging forward, trying to escape with the wounded Jack the Drought.

On the shore, the pirates, led by Breed, were all shocked to the point of utter horror, feeling a chill run down their spines.

"Oh my God!"

"Just who is this navy? How did they manage to make the fearsome Drought Jack kneel down?"

"Oh no, the wind's getting strong, let's get out of here!"

Breed and his pirates no longer lingered to observe the battlefield. They wished they had more legs and quickly retreated from the shore, rushing towards the dock. They wanted to seize the time difference and escape from Water Seven before Yang Ming and the others could free their hands.

Bucky the Clown watched the pirates escape, feeling utterly devastated.

These are all achievements made by the mobile company; he's planning to make a killing this month!

Bucky the Clown's eyes darted around, focusing on a few of Breed's particular targets, and he quietly followed them.

The pirates on the shore had all fled, leaving behind only bounty hunters.

Yang Ming once used wolves to vividly describe the strong on this sea, while the weak are lambs to the slaughter.

But besides wolves and sheep, there are other groups.

Bounty hunters are a professional group that exists between the Navy and pirates. They operate in the gray area, hunting pirates in groups to earn high bounties from the Navy. They also secretly engage in illegal businesses and have many dealings with underworld bosses, making them a very complex group.

There were even families of bounty hunters who made a living from this.

Among the many bounty hunter families, the most renowned is undoubtedly the Achino family.

The discovery of Captain John's treasure in Water Seven has attracted pirates from all over the world, and bounty hunters have been drawn by the scent from afar, naturally wanting a piece of the pie as well.

While other bounty hunters went to hunt down the escaped pirates, the head of the Achino family and his family members did not set off immediately, but instead remained where they were.

Don Achino, a large, stout man with a thick beard and red tattoos on his arms, explained to his children in this way:

"Rumor has it that a new naval lieutenant capable of leading an independent force has emerged from the Navy Headquarters. It must be that young man on that steel warship. Now that he has captured Drought Jack alive, he will likely be promoted swiftly soon. If we can join his ranks before then, our Achino family might experience a leap forward in development!"
