One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

It can be transmitted to the person who comes into contact with it immediately upon physical contact.

Before long, the first batch of pirates who could not resist the virus began to show the final symptoms.

"Help me...help me...I don't want to die..."

A pirate gripped his companion's arm tightly, his eyes filled with despair. Then, it was as if every pore on his body could no longer hold back the blood, and fine beads of blood began to seep out, which then turned into a terrifying gush!

Within seconds, he breathed his last in extreme pain and resentment.

His body shriveled and withered at a visible rate, like a mummy whose flesh and blood had been dried out!

Quinn watched this scene with smug satisfaction, and didn't forget to shout a warning to his Beast Pirates: "All of you, stay away from those guys! Don't get close to them until they're completely dead!"

Hongo, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Reiju not far away, caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye. In particular, when he saw his friend Guatini's figure gradually covered by green spots and collapsing to the ground in pain, he couldn't help but feel his eyes widen in horror!

"Guatin! Everyone!"

Hongo's eyes instantly turned bloodshot. He suddenly used all his strength to sweep the troublesome Reiju away with a single blow.

He rushed over, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Scatter! Don't touch them!!"

When he rushed over and saw Guatini and the others lying down, their breaths weak and then disappearing, he, as the ship's doctor, knew better than anyone that it was too late to save them.

"Damn Quinn!! I'll kill you!!!"

Boundless rage consumed Hongo's reason. He suddenly swung his staff with a sharp flourish and charged forward recklessly!

"Hmph, if you can do it, then give it a try."

Quinn snorted and casually tossed aside the heavy Gatling gun that had been emptied of bullets, raising its thick, mechanically modified arm.

The scorching laser beams began to shoot continuously at the oncoming Hongo.

On another, relatively independent battlefield.

Kozuki Hiyori's expression was focused. With Enma in her right hand and Futsu-no-Mitama in her left, the two swords were crossed in front of her in a cross shape, and a dark and domineering aura instantly covered them.

"Oden Two-Sword Style: Togen Ten-Fist Technique!"

She let out a sharp cry, stomped her right foot on the ground, and her figure blurred instantly, disappearing from the spot as if by teleportation.

"Oh? Dual-wielding too? Interesting." Bendick Snake raised an eyebrow, raising his dual swords but seemingly having no intention of taking the attack head-on.

At the very moment Kozuki Hiyori struck, a mocking smile, like that of someone toying with their prey, crept onto his lips.

boom! !

The massive cross-shaped slash missed its target and slammed into the ground where Snake had been standing, instantly leaving a bottomless cross-shaped crater filled with smoke and dust!

But Snake was nowhere to be seen.

"Hmm? Where did they go?" Hiyori Kozuki frowned, her Observation Haki running wildly as she tried her best to sense everything around her.

"Are you looking for me?" Snake's carefree laughter rang in Hiyori's ears: "Let me teach you something for free. No matter how powerful a move is, if you can't hit your target, it's a complete waste of energy."

not good!

Hiyori Kozuki's pupils suddenly contracted, and alarm bells rang in her mind!

Her leg muscles tensed instantly, and she was about to exert force to retreat quickly and create distance.

But then, two cunning and ruthless blades flashed past like venomous snakes.

Stab it!

With the sound of tearing cloth, two lines of blood instantly appeared on Hiyori's left shoulder and right rib.

The sudden impact jolted her, causing her to lose her balance and forcing her to tumble awkwardly to barely evade any potential pursuit.

"So fast!"

Hiyori Kozuki was horrified. She didn't even have time to examine the wound on her shoulder properly before she steadied herself, crossed her two swords, and assumed a tight defensive stance.

Unbeknownst to her, Snake was also momentarily surprised.

Although he attacked hastily, with his strength and the sharpness of his blade, he shouldn't have only left two shallow wounds.

In his mind, the amount of bleeding would certainly not be this little.

"Such a tough body. Does the Beasts Pirates specifically recruit physically abnormal monsters? Even a little girl is like that."

Snake did not press his advantage; instead, his feet began to move in a strange and unpredictable rhythm, his steps becoming erratic.

"I can't see it... I can't see it at all..."

Hiyori Kozuki stared intently at Snake's rapidly moving feet, trying to predict the direction of his next attack. However, his strange footwork seemed to have a hypnotic effect, making Hiyori Kozuki dizzy and even causing her vision to blur slightly.

"Now!"

Noticing the momentary blank look in Hiyori's eyes, Snake moved!

"Acrobatic Dual-Sword Style: Psychedelic Dance Slash!"

Kozuki Hiyori had no time to mount an effective defense. She only felt a blur before her eyes, and then a sharp pain shot through her arms and thighs, leaving two more fresh wounds.

"Damn it... I can't catch his movements at all!"

Hiyori Kozuki's face turned extremely pale.

If things continue like this, she will only become a sitting duck for her opponent, bleeding herself dry until she is defeated.

Just as she was racking her brains for a way to defeat the enemy, Snake closed in again, wielding his twin swords like a storm, their cold light gleaming, the twin swords almost creating the effect of an eight-sword style.

With no other choice, Kozuki Hiyori gritted her teeth and adopted the most clumsy but also the safest method.

They wielded their twin swords with impenetrable force, forming a defensive net of blade light, desperately resisting attacks from all directions.

Ding ding ding ding...

A dense clang of metal rang out, sparks flying everywhere.

If you keep it for a long time, you will lose it.

"What should I do..." Hiyori Kozuki struggled to stay awake, her mind racing, trying to recall every possible way to break the deadlock.

Suddenly, the teachings of her grandfather, Kozuki Sukiyaki, flashed through her mind.

"Hiyori, if one day you find that you can no longer spot the enemy with your own eyes, try using this..."

Kozuki Sukiyaki smiled and tapped his heart: "A swordsman who cannot even trust his own heart will accomplish nothing."

Should I look at it with my heart...?

A resolute glint flashed in Hiyori Kozuki's eyes, and she simply closed them completely.

He immersed all his attention and senses in Observation Haki, trying to use his "mind's eye" to capture the unseen slash.

Snake felt a growing unease upon seeing this.

I hope I won't experience the kind of breakthroughs that happen in novels and comics.

He dared not be negligent and immediately accelerated his attack, making his sword strikes even more fierce and swift.

As expected, Hiyori, with her eyes closed, was even more unable to cope. Several more shallow wounds appeared on her body in an instant, and the blood almost stained most of her clothes.

However, as Snake's offensive intensified, Hiyori gradually began to adapt to the rhythm, and her parries became increasingly precise and timely.

"This is it!"

At one moment, Hiyori Kozuki suddenly opened her eyes. She seized the opportunity when Snake changed his moves and unleashed Enma!

A sword aura several meters long shot straight towards Snake's waist and abdomen.

Snake was unable to intercept with his knife and could only awkwardly bend backward at an extreme angle.

The sword energy continued its momentum, easily shattering a huge rock in the distance before flying into the sky and slowly dissipating.

"Tsk... Should I say I'm lucky or unlucky?"

Snake quickly adjusted his posture, a helpless wry smile on his face. "I really did run into this kind of cliché plot."

"Now, let's begin the second round!"

Hiyori Kozuki smiled confidently. Although she was injured, her aura was different. She once again assumed the starting stance for her dual-wielding style.

"Hmph, little girl, sometimes, even if you can see it, you might not be able to stop it!" Snake's lips curled into a serious fighting spirit.

Only now did he truly regard Hiyori Kozuki as a worthy opponent.

Chapter 109 Yamato VS Lucky Roux! Foreseeing the future, success!

Compared to the battlefields where the forces were evenly matched or locked in fierce battles, the situation on the Yamato side was extremely relaxed.

"Ma Huanren!"

Yamato swung her staff again, and the biting cold air instantly froze a howling pirate charging at her, along with his weapon, into a solid ice sculpture. She then shattered it with a light tap, turning it into ice shards on the ground.

"Hmm~ I'm getting a little bored."

Yamato listlessly carried his spiked club, his azure eyes scanning the chaotic battlefield with a lack of interest.

"Aren't there any decent opponents?"

Those enemies around her who seemed to have some strength had already been targeted by Jack, Foz-Foe, and their ilk, leaving her with no chance at all.

Boom!

Feeling bored, Yamato almost instinctively swung her spiked club at the back of the head of a fat man who had his back to her and seemed to be engrossed in eating something.

But this time, the ice layer was shattered by the man's shockwave as it spread along the spiked club.

Ok?

Who hit me with a club?!

Don't talk about martial arts!

Lucky Roux, his head wrapped in a green turban, turned around in a daze, forgetting to chew the large bone he was holding in his mouth.

He looked up at Yamato, whose expression was also somewhat surprised: "You're Oni-hime Yamato?"

"Hmm, who are you?"

Yamato tilted her head, sizing up the fat man who could easily shatter her chill.

Immediately, a smile of excitement, like discovering a new toy, spread across her face: "Whatever! Anyone who can survive one of my blows must be a worthy opponent! Let's fight!"
