Big brother, I want to become the strongest pirate in the world!

Because these sea creatures were too weak, the amount of blood energy they could provide to Kazan was large, but the quality was extremely low. Therefore, it took a long time to accumulate enough blood energy to use 'Death Resistance'.

[Death Resistance: Consumes a large amount of external blood energy to quickly recover a small portion of injuries and slightly increase defense (lasts for a certain period of time). Can only be used when health is extremely low.]

Kazan is currently at the critical point where he needs to use 'Death Resistance'. If he delays for another day and his injuries heals a little more, he probably won't be able to use this move.

Death resists.

"Wuhu~"

Feeling the wound on his abdomen suddenly become itchy, and his body began to warm up, Kazan couldn't help but let out a cry.

HP increased from 5% to 20%.

Of course, this was just Kazan's own conjecture. The pleasant feeling he had just experienced almost gave him the illusion that he was cured. After that feeling disappeared, Kazan instantly felt weak again.

He touched his stomach, gritted his teeth in pain, and cold sweat began to pour from his forehead. The wound on his abdomen hadn't changed at all, but Kazan definitely felt that his physical condition should have improved.

"It seems that I really won't be able to make a move for the next period of time."

Kazan clutched his stomach and muttered something, still caught up in other people's 'well-intentioned lies' and unable to discover the truth.

"Kazan, there's a pirate ship charging straight at us. It doesn't seem afraid of us at all."

"Huh? Don't tell me about this. Xiao Feng, take A Jin and fly over there. Let him deal with those pirates himself."

"Ah."

Feng Kelei responded and immediately transformed into a large eagle with bizarre makeup on its face, intending to grab Akin and take off.

"Oh, right, wait a minute. Ah Jin, here."

Ajin reached out and caught what Kazan threw to him. When he caught it, his arms sank slightly; it was quite heavy.

Upon closer inspection, it appears to be a pair of crutches with a large iron ball hanging from each end.

"Give that a try; I think you should be able to use it well."

Kazan watched with some anticipation as Ajin gripped two strange crutches. In the original story, only Ajin used such weapons, and he wielded them quite well. So Kazan had crafted these things for Ajin in advance, so that Ajin could gradually master their use in battle.

These crutches are the same as the previous Kazan creations. In order to be able to be shaped at will, the main material is still steel, but it is mixed with some other special metals.

For example, the steel balls at the ends of these two bends are made of the same special metal that Kazan uses as his armor. When Akin masters Armament Haki, he can make the hardened steel balls ignite with flames by rapidly rubbing them against the air.

Kazan might be able to improve these two support items even further in the future, but for now, they'll remain as they are; they will be Akin's weapon for the foreseeable future.

"Let's name it, Akin."

"...the Grim Reaper's scythe."

Ball Cue: ...?

"...Ah, since I created it, I should name it. Let's call it 'Yaksha'."

"……Um."

Kazan looked up at Bon Clay and Gin's figures gradually flying away and shook his head helplessly: "Are there no guys in the world of One Piece who can come up with normal names?"

If Kazan has such feelings, how desperate must the Straw Hat crew have been about the name the Thousand Sunny came up with when it was first created?

Luffy's Black Bear Dumplings and Octopus Dumplings are one thing, but Zoro's Lioness, Sanji's Sunflower, and Franky's Fierce Hammer Boxer are also less than impressive. As for Robin's Dark Dumplings, Kazan simply doesn't know where to begin with his critique.

Thinking of this, Kazan turned his head and glanced at Robin, who was reading a book with Perona in her arms. Robin noticed Kazan's gaze and looked over, giving him a sweet smile.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"It's okay."

"I feel like you're thinking about something rude."

That's too perceptive.

Kazan shuddered at Robin's smiling face, shook his head, and chuckled, "Absolutely not!"

Chapter 086 The Poker Card Pirates

The Poker Pirates.

"Big Bear King, are we really going to provoke those guys?"

"Hahaha! Don't be afraid! I'm an iron man who ate the Iron-Iron Fruit, no one can break through my defense!"

A fat man with a thick, bushy coat pounded his fists in front of his chest and said confidently.

"I think... it's better to run now, this bounty..."

Beside them, in a large pot filled with water, lay a naked blonde woman, solemnly looking at the several wanted posters in her hand.

Captain of the Monster Pirates, "Red Dog" Kazan, has a bounty of 93 million Berries.

Monster Pirates' 'Snow Woman' Monet, bounty 8 million Berries.

Nico Robin, the "Devil's Child" of the Monster Pirates, has a bounty of 79 million Berries.

The Monster Pirates' "Okama" Bon Clay, with a bounty of 75 million Berries.

The Monster Pirates' "Black Fist" Bellamy, with a bounty of 68 million Berries.

"This monster pirate crew is indeed strange. Although a lot of time has passed since the last increase in bounty, the newspapers have never reported on them doing anything significant during this period, yet their bounty suddenly increased."

"This is not the time to talk about this, Skunk, something is flying over."

Upon hearing what the clown said, the entire Poker Pirates looked up at the large white goose that was rapidly approaching them.

Bang.

“They don’t look like any ordinary guys. Let’s take them one by one. Ah Jin, let’s kill that fat guy in the bearskin first. He’s obviously a lackey.”

"it is good."

Ajin gripped his crutch, ignored the others, and walked towards the Great Bear King. He wasn't quite used to the weapon in his hand yet.

"Huh??? I'm the captain of the Poker Card Pirates!!!"

"Oh."

Ajin responded, giving the other party ample face, and then charged towards the Great Bear King, swinging his crutch.

The steel ball at the end of the bend spun and swung in mid-air, making A Jin's body unbalanced as he ran. But listening to the 'whooshing' sound of the wind beside his ears, A Jin thought this weapon was pretty good; at least its power didn't seem lacking.

"Iron Fist!"

clang!

The Big Bear King's fist collided with Akin's ball-handling stick, producing a loud bang.

"Well……"

The Great Bear King gritted his teeth, withdrew his fist, and then threw another punch at Ah Jin.

However, Akin had no intention of continuing to fight the Great Bear King head-on. The shock from the impact of the ball's talus to Akin's arm made him feel numb, and he knew that this was not the most efficient way to end the fight.

So, taking advantage of his greater agility and the fact that the Great Bear King's attacks were more cumbersome, he shifted his body to the side, his shoulder rubbing against the Great Bear King's iron fist, and then the ball-handler in his other hand swung at the Great Bear King's face.

Bang.

The Great Bear King was sent flying by A Jin's slingshot, its head crashing into the wall, where it remained stuck and motionless.

Sold out instantly.

Ajin temporarily held the crutch in his left hand, then walked over and grabbed the bear king's leg, pulling it out. Ajin stared at the bear king with cold eyes for two seconds, and after confirming that the bear king was not dead, he walked to the side of the boat and threw the bear king directly into the sea.

"Hey, really? Is this all the pirates in the East Blue are capable of?"

As Foncrat sat atop the two corpses, watching Akin quickly end the battle, he sighed with a hint of disappointment.

When Ajin swung his crutch at the Great Bear King's head, the latter didn't even have time to dodge or use his abilities; the steel ball was practically touching his face before he reacted.

Even if he didn't have Observation Haki, as long as he had a little more combat experience, he wouldn't be able to react to this attack so slowly. After all, Gin's physical abilities weren't strong at the moment, barely reaching the level that Bellamy had when he first joined their Monster Pirates.

The Great Bear King's fighting spirit made even Feng Clay laugh. This kind of guy was actually the captain of a ship, and he probably hadn't even fought many real battles. He really didn't know why his crew followed him.

Meanwhile, after easily defeating the Great Bear King, Akin first looked at the Skunk and the Clown, who had tried to help the Great Bear King but were knocked to the ground by Bon Clay with a single kick each, and then turned his gaze to the remaining man and woman.

"Pig Jacks... watch out."

"Ah."

Sweetheart Queen was now filled with regret. She shouldn't have followed the Great Bear King to cause trouble for the Monster Pirates. Not to mention the famous transvestite next to her, this kid in front of her who looked like he had weak kidneys was not an easy opponent.

"Jack the Pig, go!"

"it is good!"

The round, chubby pig Jax rolled its spherical body and crashed into Akin.

Akin glanced at the rolling ball of flesh, sighed, and swung his crutch at it, knocking PigJacks so hard he vomited blood and lost consciousness on the spot.

There's still... um?

Akin looked at the 'Yaksha' in his hand with satisfaction. This pair of crutches allowed him to exert great strength with little effort. If he mastered the rhythm, he could also use it to propel his body. Then Akin looked up, intending to deal with the last blonde woman who seemed to have an exhibitionist fetish. But when he looked up, the woman had disappeared.

He's getting a little complacent, little Jin Jin... a Devil Fruit user, after all.

On the other side, Foncray stared at Akin's feet, showing no intention of offering any warning.

pat.

He took a step forward and suddenly felt as if he had stepped on a puddle of water. He looked down and a clump of paste jumped out from a gap in the deck and covered Akin's head.

Akin's head was trapped inside the Sweet Queen's body, which had turned into a paste. He couldn't breathe or open his eyes. He tried to grab the paste off his head with his hands, but it was no use; his hands could only grasp a puddle of liquid.

"Sigh, Ah Jin, you lost."

Bon Clay sighed, sauntered over, and kicked the gooey mess on Akin's head with his Armament Haki-hardened leg.

Snapped.

Before the Sweet Queen could even be stunned after being kicked to the ground, she fainted from the pain and was seriously injured.

Feng Kelei frowned, looking at the naked woman on the ground who had turned back to her original state, feeling somewhat puzzled.

That kick just now felt off.

"If it were a Logia type, the sensation when I kicked it wouldn't be like this, and it should immediately revert to human form after being injured."

Bon Clay had sparred with Monet, a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, quite a few times. In his memory, as long as you use Armament Haki, you can still kick a Logia-type user even if they are in elemental form. It's not much different from kicking the Logia-type user themselves. And after attacking an elementalized user, the attacked part should turn back into a human body at the same time.
