If Sengoku doesn't pull back his net soon, I'll become the Pirate King!

Chapter 356 The Rebellion of Yamata no Orochi, the End of the David Clan!?

As Yunhu's enormous body merged into Bazel's body, profound insights began to surface in his mind.

The Beast King's power of contract cannot contract with elemental creatures, but it can contract with them temporarily.

This allows one to cleverly circumvent the limitations of the contract's power.

Just like a labor contract sent by a third party, Bazel transferred all the risks to the elemental monsters.

Then personally control the power of the corresponding elemental monster.

As for the price to be paid.

It's just that the snake spirit used to activate it died. Bazel can easily replenish those consumables by finding a few fellow pirates.

On the contrary, it was Yunhu's power—

Bazel looked thoughtfully at his arms covered in blue cloud patterns; the Cloud Tiger's power was somewhat strange.

Compared to other more aggressive elements, Yunhu's power is more inclined towards functional support.

Looking down at his enemies in the sky, Bazel raised his right hand, palm facing the demon soldiers in the sky.

"Come here, let me defile you one more time."

A powerful suction force suddenly appeared, but Junzi, who was possessed by Im, remained calm and thrust his trident forward.

It uses suction to plunge downwards.

"M will not kill you; you will become a puppet in M's eternal life."

Bazel did not look at the trident that was about to pierce his body.

Raise the other hand.

Gravity instantly turns into double the repulsive force.

In the instant of the power conversion, the powerful impact instantly broke the enemy's limbs.

"Is this... a repulsive force?"

"Your power is truly terrifying, Yamata no Orochi. I've seen this Devil Fruit many times, but why haven't I witnessed the power you've displayed?"

As he flew backward, his broken limbs rapidly regenerated, and Demon Junzi lightly tapped his finger in the air.

Soon, a magic book wreathed in ominous black flames appeared in the pentagram magic circle.

The pages of the book are turned.

Several cannons appeared.

Boom!

After the several attempts, Bazel was even more certain of Yunhu's abilities.

Yunhu's abilities are not just simple manipulation of fog and weather; they also involve the omnipresent forces of attraction and repulsion.

As for why the power of clouds is related to this aspect—

Barzel was unsure of the specific reason and could only assume it was an extra bonus caused by the buoyancy of the clouds floating in the air.

With a flick of the left hand, the approaching shell was immediately repelled by the repulsive force.

"Mist Body".

The already dense fog turned into a fog disaster where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Let alone ten meters away, if you stretch out your hand, you can't even see the ends of your own fingers.

"Acid Mist".

Bazel's murmurs and a slight tremor echoed in the mist.

"Frosty Mist".

Im looked down at his corroded fingers, his bat wings flapping behind him, shattering the frost covering them.

It fell to the ground with pieces of flesh and skin attached.

Suddenly!

A powerful suction force struck again.

"On the right side—"

The cannon that appeared from the magic book immediately launched a continuous barrage in the direction from which the gravity was coming from.

Gravity has neither disappeared nor changed.

When Im landed on the ground and saw that what had grabbed him was just an arm formed from condensed mist, he raised one eyebrow slightly.

"So, what can you do?"

"Your domineering aura can't even hinder Mu's regenerative power."

"You little brat, let me see what else you can do to me."

"What are you doing? I know I'm no match for you right now, but..."

The misty arms rapidly extended and deformed, coalescing into Bazel's upper body.

puff~~

Looking at the trident piercing his body, Bazel grinned and said, "You can't do anything to me either, can you?"

"If I want to escape, you alone can't stop me."

Im drew his trident and stared at the man with Junzi's beautiful heterochromatic eyes.

"Oh~~~ That's very arrogant. The last time I said something like that to Mu————"

"It seems to be Lox again. He said he would come back one day, but Mu waited for ten years in vain."

"And you, Bazel, how long are you planning to keep M waiting?"

Bazel, whose form was formed from mist, was stunned.

"This fog, it's all your body, right?"

Although he couldn't see the lower half of the face wrapped in bandages, Bazel could clearly sense the amusement and mockery in the other person's heart.

"The so-called acid mist is actually your gastric juice, and the frost mist... well, I don't know what it is, but let's just consider it your ability."

"Yamata no Orochi, Mu had the Five Elders collect information about the power and stories associated with this fruit a long time ago."

"I remember a story that described it like this: Yamata no Orochi is the embodiment of a legendary calamity."

"It's not surprising that you have stomach acid strong enough to corrode Mu's defenses."

"I've already cooperated with you quite a bit, human, make me even happier!"

boom--!!

The Conqueror's Haki erupted once again.

The thick fog that had enveloped the sky and earth dissipated in an instant.

With a flap of its bat wings, Im took to the sky once more and looked to its right rear.

"Humans, this is the realm of gods."

A crack suddenly appeared in the space of the world.

When the world shatters, a "real world" will emerge from behind the mist.

"How long do you plan to keep using your poison?"

The false world shattered, revealing the perfectly intact Villa Figaland.

At the same time, familiar screams and the howls of angels rang out.

Im looked at Bazel, who was carrying Shamlock, with a leisurely air, and was about to say something when...

Puff~~~

A hand suddenly pierced into his body from behind, the black and red lightning wrapped around its fingers particularly eye-catching.

"You probably think it's all an illusion, right?"

The thick fog descended once again.

The trident spun and shattered, and the hand that had been inserted into the vest turned into mist and dissipated.

His injuries were healing rapidly, and Junzi's eyes narrowed like those of a venomous snake.

Isn't it a hallucination?

Do you know what the most potent poison in the world is?

Suddenly, Im looked up at the sky, and Bazel, whose lower body was a phantom of smoke, appeared, his arms wrapped around himself.

"The most potent poison is never the one that kills the enemy, nor the one that tortures the enemy."

"But rather~"

"Cure the enemy's poison."

"I know your domineering aura is stronger than mine, even much stronger."

"Furthermore, with your immortality, no matter how powerful my poison or my attacks are, they cannot cause you even the slightest bit of real damage at this stage."

"So whether it's phantom venom or other harmful snake venom, as long as they come into contact with your body, your instincts will detect that something is wrong."

"This is the instinct of all strong people."

So~~

Bazel in the air vanished as a burst of smoke.

When it reappeared, its hand gently rested on Junzi's shoulder, and the end of the smoky arm extended back out to reveal Bazel's upper body.

"This poison has absolutely no lethality whatsoever; it only does two things."

"The first thing I'll do is heal your broken body and use the anesthetic effect to get your body used to the poison."

"The second thing~~~"

The fingers snapped.

"To put you to sleep, this is my snake venom, but I prefer to call it~~"

"Dream Capsule".

His powerful spirit erupted one after another, but it had no impact on the world whatsoever.

"It's no use, you're already asleep, this is a dream now."

"This is a beautiful dream I created with my abilities. Here, even if you unleash your power, you will be resurrected the next moment, let alone die."

Im looked at the man who was talking eloquently, then looked around at the surrounding environment, as if she had figured something out, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"All you've said is to buy time; this ability can't come without a price."

"Even you can't escape this dream fog."

"Or, let me put it another way."

"The moment your misty body unfolds is actually the moment that power you mentioned unfolds."

"You use the invisible fog to swallow Mu into your body, and then turn the entire environment into poison."

"In other words, one reason why Mu couldn't detect it was that the layer of mist weakened Mu's Observation Haki, preparing for your devouring action."

"Partly because of this place."

The other end of the trident lightly taps the ground.

"I remember you said you would defile me again, which means you, a man whose very soul is filled with pride, intend to do what you did when we first met."

"Let's end this meeting with Mu using that disgusting tactic."

"Mu was right, wasn't he, human~ Bazel?"

"Where have you run to now? Or is it that because of this ability, you're unable to even attempt to escape?"

There was no response for a long time.

With a furrowed brow, Im suddenly flew rapidly into the sky, but still couldn't find the so-called exit.

Junzi stared at the sky for a long time, and when he saw the sunset showing signs of rising, a clear look of surprise appeared in his pupils.

"Sunset, why does the sun rise again—"

Sunset should be the time when the sun sets after dusk, while sunrise is the time when the sun rises in the east.

"I see, so that's how it is. Is this your true power? What an interesting little trick of yours."

"Bazel, I acknowledge you. If I hadn't flown into the sky because I couldn't hear your voice, I might have been trapped by you for a long time."

"The Yamata no Orochi is a rebellious being. You are an enemy of Mu, the world's ruler, because everything stems from the root of rebellion and defiance."

"Everything you've said, whether it's the dream or the snake venom, is just to make Mu believe one thing."

Head down, feet up, Im controlled Junzi's body to dive towards the ground at an extremely fast speed.

"That means Mu is poisoned. Only in this way will Mu not realize that the real exit is right under her feet."

"Only in this way can you have time to escape successfully, because you know that Mu has the power to stop that fruit."

Bang~~

The ground shattered like glass.

Looking at the "sea" beside him, Im smiled.

"So that's how it is. Are you also a sinner of the David clan?"

"Is this the end of the world you created, or the end where the legendary pirate Davy Jones hid, or perhaps—"

"Are you trying to tell Mu that this is the end of the world?"

A ray of sunlight appeared, and when the "sea" stirred up waves, Junzi, who was trapped in it, was lifted out of the water and opened his eyes again.

The blurry vision gradually cleared, and what came into view with the left eye was the familiar scene among the flowers, while what Junzi saw with the right eye was the [Figaland] villa.

"—Mm is fine."

Looking at the enormous "Yamata no Orochi" that was nothing but a skeletal snake skin in front of him, Im felt a surge of anger, but more than that, he felt a sense of pleasure at uncovering some kind of truth.

"What just happened?"

"Lord Im, just now you summoned me back, took control of my body, and fought the enemy—"

From Junzi, Im learned everything.

But everything came to an abrupt end after the opponent used the mist-body technique.

Sure enough, that man activated his ability at that moment.

Only then did Im recall feeling a faint but strange tremor when the other party shouted out the name of the move.

That feeling might be the physical sensation of being swallowed up.

He guided Junzi's body forward and raised his hand to stroke the eight raised snakeskin heads.

"That human escaped at the last moment. Just as Mu was about to discover the truth, he knew he couldn't hide it from Mu, so he chose to shed his skin and leave."

Im lowered his head slightly, lost in thought.

He was deceived.

He was prepared for the enemy to put up a stubborn resistance, using that strange, immortal power to fight against him.

The first "discovery of the truth" was when I realized that it was inside the enemy's body—this was the real truth.

Then the enemy began their "helpless" explanation.

Tell yourself what the strongest poison is, and what abilities that strongest poison has.

The goal was to make him believe that he had been poisoned, thus ignoring the real truth.

Raise your head.

Looking at the only enormous, lowered snake head, Im knew that was where he had escaped.

The so-called "ocean" is nothing but the enemy's saliva.

Up is down, and down is up; the inferior defies the superior—this is the rebellious act of the Yamata no Orochi.

By this time, Im also realized that the so-called Dream Poison might not have existed in the first place.

The opponent first used the power of fog to confuse him, and then swallowed him into a stomach full of poison gas.

Infuse yourself with poison to induce hallucinations, and then use the power of words to guide yourself toward the "truth".

Only after his partner successfully escaped his domineering attack range did the man choose to shed his skin and leave.

"I approve of you, Bazel."

"Your bold move has successfully attracted M."

Before Junko could say anything after realizing that her body was back under her control, Lord Im's new command suddenly echoed in her mind.

[Leading the still-awake soldiers to deal with the monsters within the holy land, and after that—]

The voice in his mind paused briefly, as if he were making some important decision.

[The Five Elders have just sent word that Rocks' son is still alive. Junzi, head to the West Blue.]

Find Rocks' son and bring him back.

[Furthermore, instruct the Navy to change the plan; disregard the original objective and focus all efforts on finding Rocks' son.]

[Also, keep an eye on Bazel's movements; that man is highly likely a remnant of David's clan who escaped years ago.]

He wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. If he discovered Bazel's whereabouts, he shouldn't hesitate to follow him; perhaps that would lead him to the Son of Lox that Mu was looking for.

"Yes, Lord Im!"
