I collect everything in the One Piece world.

Just as he was momentarily slowed down by dodging the air door, a sand wave seized the opportunity to wrap around his ankle. Although he immediately severed it, the restraining effect had been achieved.

To make matters worse, his large backward leap to escape the sandstorm was caught by an air door, and as a result, after passing through the air door, he unfortunately bumped into Doberman, who was a beat slower due to his abdominal injury!

"Hmph!" Doberman grunted, his already unstable lower body due to the quicksand caused him to lose his balance and stagger backward.

As a result, Onigumo swayed, and the two of them rolled into a ball again.

In that chaotic moment, countless waves of sand seized the fleeting opportunity, surging forward like sharks smelling blood, instantly engulfing and completely surrounding the two who had lost their balance!

The yellow sand writhed and compressed, quickly forming a huge sand ball with a diameter of over five meters, trapping the Ghost Spider and Doberman firmly inside. The surface of the sand ball continued to writh and tighten, and its volume continued to increase.

The inside of the sand ball was pitch black, with only the rustling sound of sand rubbing together and a suffocating feeling of being squeezed.

Onigumo and Doberman struggled frantically, their bodies covered in Armament Haki, their blades slashing at the inner walls in an attempt to break free of this sand prison.

From the outside, the sand sphere was shaking violently, with blade-like shapes constantly protruding from its surface. However, Morsen's control was excellent, and the sand layer continued to become thicker and replenished, making it difficult for the two trapped individuals to break through.

Mosen could clearly feel the intense resistance emanating from within the sand sphere, but his expression remained unchanged. His loosely clenched right hand slowly tightened, and he continued to utter a few cold words:

"Sandfall Funeral".

boom!

The internal pressure of the sand ball suddenly increased!

The sand, which was originally just binding and confining, now seemed to have transformed into a super-powerful compressor, frantically squeezing and contracting towards the center from all directions!

At the same time, the unique water-absorbing properties of the Sand-Sand Fruit were fully activated, frantically absorbing the water from the surface and even the bodies of the two trapped people!

The sand sphere began to shrink and solidify at a visible rate, shrinking by nearly a third in an instant.

"Ugh!"

"cough!"

Muffled groans and coughs came from inside the sand sphere. The resistance, which had suddenly intensified, had noticeably weakened, but it did not stop.

However, Doberman and Onigumo were elites of the headquarters who had cultivated Haki to a certain level. They had strong physiques and steely wills, so they were still fighting desperately to resist.

Mo Sen frowned slightly, about to increase the intensity of his actions.

suddenly!

A sudden change has occurred!

On one side of the sand sphere, the originally dark yellow sand wall was quickly stained with a glaring dark red, the color of blood!

Immediately afterwards, the sand wall structure that had been soaked in blood also seemed to be eroded, becoming loose and sticky, losing the solidity that the Sand-Sand Fruit's power maintained.

This is the only weakness of the Sand-Sand Fruit's power. Both Luffy in the original work and Morsen recently used this characteristic to counter Crocodile.

puff!

The next second, a figure covered in blood, looking like a demon from hell, burst out of the relatively fragile, blood-soaked sand wall—it was Onigumo.

His appearance was extremely miserable. His once neat naval officer's coat was now tattered and covered with blood and sand. His exposed skin was covered with bluish-purple discoloration and shriveling caused by the sand and gravel being squeezed and absorbed.

What was most shocking was that most of his body and hair were soaked in dark red blood that had not yet fully congealed. Judging from the wounds on his body, it was clearly not all his own blood.

At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, filled with a maddening killing intent and determination. He transformed into a streak of blood-red light and rushed straight at Mo Sen, his sharp blades, like spider legs, piercing Mo Sen's vital points!

Mosen's Observation Haki triggered a frantic warning, and an unprecedented aura of crisis instantly enveloped his entire body!

His pupils contracted slightly, and almost without thinking, he raised his hand again, instantly opening several air doors in front of him, beside him, and even in the path of Oni Spider's charge.

However, this time Onigumo seemed to have anticipated it, or rather, driven by extreme anger and killing intent, he pushed his body to its limits.

So the instant the air door appeared, his charging figure made a bizarre change of direction in mid-air, almost bending at an angle, and grazed the edge of a door. At the same time, his speed increased, and the distance between him and Mosen instantly closed to less than a few meters!

Mosen could even feel the chilling aura emanating from the Ghost Spider's blade!

"Die!!" Onigumo's roar was deafening.

Faced with this desperate attack that could not be avoided, Mo Sen instantly drew his twin swords, the sharp blades weaving a fine net of light before his eyes.

"Sky Net! Rebel!"

"Jingle bells!"

The fierce sword energy, carrying solid Armament Haki, collided violently, and the fine sword energy and black arcs of electricity suddenly scattered in all directions.

The surrounding yellow sand was instantly cut into countless pieces, and then restored to its original state under the original properties of the yellow sand.

Onigumo's attack was indeed beyond Morsen's expectations, but that was all.

Even after a brief stalemate, Mosen suddenly unleashed his full strength and domineering aura, directly blasting Onigumo away once again.

At the same time, Mosen did not hesitate for a moment, and activated the Door-Door Fruit's power again.

hum!hum!hum!hum!

In an instant, six air doors appeared out of thin air around the Oni Spider, forming a completely enclosed cubic space cage that trapped him inside!

The Oni Spider falls backwards into one of the doors, and then bursts out through another.

There were doors all around him, and he kept falling and tumbling inside, as if he were trapped in an endless, looping maze.

No matter how he swung his sword or used Moonwalk to move, he could not touch the real boundary and could only struggle in vain in this strange spatial loop!

"Spatial loop?!" Onigumo's frantic roar echoed in the confined space, filled with resentment and despair.

He was like a flying insect trapped in a transparent box, able to see the enemy outside but never able to reach them.

After dealing with the Ghost Spider's desperate counterattack, Mosen finally had time to turn his attention to the huge sand sphere from before.

At this moment, the sand sphere had been soaked in a large amount of blood, and its structure had mostly collapsed, turning into a pool of viscous sand and mud. In the center of the sand and mud lay a person, which was another lieutenant general, Doberman.

His appearance was even more miserable than that of Onigumo. His once burly body seemed to have shrunk, his breath was so weak that it was almost inaudible, and his face was as pale as paper. He had completely lost consciousness.

The wound on his waist and abdomen, pierced by the Oni Spider's longsword, had been barely sealed and stopped bleeding using the "Iron Block" technique, but it had now torn open again, even more gruesome and terrifying than before. The flesh around the wound was peeling back, and although the blood was no longer gushing out, it was still slowly seeping out, staining the sand and mud beneath him a deeper color.

Seeing Doberman's miserable state, and recalling the fact that Oni Spider was covered in blood earlier, especially the unusual amount of blood on his hair and body that could not have come from his own wounds, Mosen instantly understood.

“I see…” Mo Sen murmured to himself, a look of understanding flashing in his eyes.

They found a breakthrough by taking advantage of the Sand-Sand Fruit's fear of water... no, more accurately, its fear of liquid, especially large amounts of liquid.

Doberman was indeed a tough nut to crack. He risked his life, even tearing open his own wounds and soaking the sand walls that trapped them with a large amount of blood, creating a breakthrough point for the Ghost Spider.

This requires not only decisive action but also keen observation. Clearly, before the sand ball trapped them, Doberman had already discovered the characteristics of the Sand-Sand Fruit's ability by getting injured and bleeding.

"As expected of a lieutenant general from headquarters, he is indeed very intelligent and decisive, and most importantly, ruthless. He is ruthless not only to the enemy but also to himself," Mo Sen thought to himself.

However, although their idea was brilliant and they accurately found the weakness of the Sand-Sand Fruit's power, reality was obviously much harsher.

If Morsen only possessed the Sand-Sand Fruit ability, their desperate attack might actually cause considerable trouble, or even lead to a complete reversal of fortune, just like Crocodile did in the past.

To be honest, if Morsen only had Haki and swordsmanship, or only Devil Fruit abilities, he would definitely not fare well against these two guys. After all, the strength of the Vice Admirals of the Headquarters is no joke; both their Haki and swordsmanship are already extremely powerful.

Unfortunately, while they are strong, Morsen is even more monstrous. He not only possesses Haki and swordsmanship, but also has more than one Devil Fruit ability, which can be perfectly combined with each other. He even gave himself a lucky buff.

Faced with such an unbeatable opponent, as long as their strength is not much greater than Mo Sen's, they will all be defeated by him without any surprises.

Thinking about this, Mo Sen couldn't help but wonder what level an admiral who had developed and cultivated both Devil Fruit abilities and Haki to their fullest extent would be.

Defeating a lieutenant general was no longer a difficult task for him, but he had never experienced or challenged the fighting power of a general.

As his thoughts raced, he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy and exhausted. He quickly steadied his breathing and adjusted his state.

Clearly, using Devil Fruit abilities on a large scale, or even combining several abilities, would be extremely taxing on him.

However, compared to the current results, such physical exertion is well worth it.

Leave notice, will resume updating tomorrow.

I have some family matters to attend to during the Qingming Festival, so I will resume updating tomorrow. Please be careful with fire during Qingming.

Chapter 155, Another Battlefield, Morsen Appears

Rewind a moment, and just as Morsen was locked in fierce combat with the two lieutenant generals, the other side of the coastline of Water Seven also welcomed its last uninvited guest.

The wrecked naval flagship and another warship riddled with holes looked like two stranded whales, pitifully moored at the dock.

Under the command of their officers, a large number of naval soldiers quickly and orderly landed. Although everyone's face showed the shock and exhaustion of escaping death, as elite troops, their discipline remained strict, and they quickly assembled into a defensive formation on the shore.

Leading these soldiers were the other three vice admirals from the Buster Call fleet.

The resolute-faced flying squirrel; the Fire Mountain, who always wears a gentle smile but has eyes as sharp as an eagle; and the stern-faced Storoberry.

Their expressions were unusually solemn. The intense battle fluctuations and towering sandstorms coming from afar indicated that Ghost Spider and Doberman had encountered a tough opponent, and the battle was extremely fierce.

"The situation with Onigumo and Doberman doesn't seem to be going as smoothly as expected," Lieutenant General Fire Mountain said in a deep voice, his hand on his sword hilt.

“That Blackmore is far more dangerous than the intelligence reports suggest.” Lieutenant General Storoberry adjusted his hat, his eyes filled with deep vigilance.

Vice Admiral Momonga didn't speak, but gripped his long sword tightly, unleashing his full Observation Haki to sense the battle situation deep within the dock, while warily scanning the seemingly calm coastline around him, his uneasy premonition growing stronger.

"Attention everyone, remain alert, and proceed slowly towards the clock tower in battle formation..." The flying squirrel hadn't finished giving his order.

In the distance, behind the wall of a watchtower, Bakala leaned against the wall, looking at the watch on her wrist that Frankie had modified to have both timekeeping and remote control functions.

As the countdown reached zero, emitting a soft "beep," her red lips parted slightly, and she gently uttered a single word:

"burst!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of deafening explosions rang out!

Near the coastline where the landing navy was gathered, the bombs that Franky had planted beforehand were detonated simultaneously!

Flames, thick smoke, broken planks, and stones shot into the sky. Many naval soldiers who had just landed and had not yet settled down were caught off guard and were blown to pieces. Screams and curses immediately filled the air.

Although the limited and dispersed amount of explosives prevented large-scale casualties, the suddenness of the explosion and its strong psychological impact instantly disrupted the navy's landing formation and created enormous chaos.

"Enemy attack! Take cover! Find cover!" the officers shouted hoarsely.

Even before the smoke and dust from the explosion had cleared, more attacks followed!

"Franky SUPER Rocket Launcher!!!"

With a signature roar and the rumble of machinery, several rockets trailing flames were launched from a concealed dock window, landing precisely in the relatively densely populated area of ​​the naval personnel, once again creating explosions and shockwaves.

Meanwhile, the other members of the Franky family, including the Cube Sisters, Kiwi, and Moz, emerged from various ruins and bunkers, wielding Franky's specially made high-powered weapons and even small cannons, and began to suppress the chaotic navy with firepower.
