Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

The clay clone, which had just been displaying its might, had its head severed.

Pfft!

The headless clay clone pushed over mountains of gold and jade pillars, landing directly on the ground in the dense forest.

"You succeeded?!"

The orange-yellow shadow stopped moving, revealing its true form.

His hair and clothes were half orange and half white, and he had a huge lightning bolt scar from his forehead to his right eye.

It's worth noting that this creature's arms are not human arms, but two enormous scissors.

Lightning, a high-ranking officer in the revolutionary army.

Before Lightning could even step forward to check the situation, the "corpse" of the [Clay Clone] suddenly emitted a strange sound.

Smack—Smack—

The clay seemed to be subjected to some kind of force, and suddenly it softened.

The body of the clay clone, along with its severed head, reassembled in Lightning's shocked gaze.

"Hey……"

【Clay Clone】 Its emotionless white eyes stared intently at the lightning, a mocking smile curling at the corner of its mouth.

"It hurts so much..."

Chapter 35 Is this all the high-ranking officers of the revolutionary army are capable of?

Looking at the unscathed [clay clone] in front of him.

Lightning immediately sensed something was wrong and instinctively took a few steps back.

As far as he knows.

Within Impel Down, there is only one person with the ability to manipulate clay—

The newly appointed warden of the deep-sea prison, which was just sent to the frigid hell of the ocean this morning!

Lightning stared at the [Clay Clone] and softly uttered the name.

"Ian Adrian?"

"You know me?"

Ian's voice boomed like thunder in Lightning's ears.

The latter instantly felt a chill run down his spine.

Because he could almost feel the breath coming from behind him!

Lightning burst forth at its fastest speed ever, instantly escaping from the spot.

Only after he had fled more than ten meters away did he dare to turn his head back to the spot where he had just been standing.

Ian stood there, looking over with a nonchalant air.

'When did this guy show up?'

Still shaken by the lightning, my heart pounded wildly, like a drumbeat.

'Did he just stand there and watch while I attacked?!'

"A unique design that is half yellow and half white, with enormous double scissors."

Ian took a step, walking towards the lightning.

"You were originally a prisoner imprisoned in the freezing hell—"

"Revolutionary Army senior officer, Scissors Man, Lightning."

His identity was exposed by the enemy, and a solemn expression appeared on Lightning's face.

Before he could speak, the jailer continued his verbal pressure.

"I'm curious."

Ian drew closer to Lightning, asking one deadly question after another in the calmest of tones.

"Why would a prisoner who is already on the death list appear alive and kicking in front of me?"

"Why is it that there isn't a single trace of frostbite on your body, and even the aura you exude is so healthy?"

"Why do you know my name, even though I only recently arrived in Impel Down—"

Fearing that Ian would continue to utter even more terrifying conclusions.

Lightning instinctively raised his hands, wanting to interrupt the other person.

"Spinning Flying Shears!"

Lightning swung his hands forcefully.

His arms transformed into giant scissors, which flew out with his movements.

Two enormous scissors began to spin at supersonic speed in mid-air, as if they had transformed into two gleaming, cold discs.

woo-

Two large scissors whistled through the air, carrying a powerful aura capable of severing gold and jade, as if they were about to cut Ian in two.

Ian stood still, enduring the attacks of the giant scissors.

Tsk-tsk-

The two large scissors struck Ian's body almost simultaneously, leaving two deep, bone-revealing wounds.

Lightning could almost see the distant, wintery landscape of the dense forest through Ian's wound.

However, what made him despair was...

Despite suffering such severe injuries, the other party didn't bleed a single drop!

"You should have realized this sooner."

Ian's clay-like body healed instantly.

Your attack is ineffective against me!

The moment the words fell.

【shave】!

Ian stomped his feet heavily on the ground, and the powerful recoil propelled him to incredible speed, bringing him to lightning in an instant.

His right fist had risen at some point, its surface covered in jet-black Armament Haki, and he thrust it forward like a nail.

Iron Body - A Serious Punch!

At this critical moment.

Lightning unleashed the power of the "Cut-Cut Fruit" in time, transforming his body surface into the sturdy blade of scissors.

clang--

Ian's [Cannon Fist] struck Lightning's body, instantly producing a crisp sound like metal clashing.

The lightning bolt flew backward, traveling dozens of meters away, crashing into several large trees before finally coming to a stop.

Dust mixed with snowflakes danced in the air.

Among the smoke and dust.

Lightning knelt on one knee, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and a clearly visible fist mark remained on his body.

Although the special ability of the "Cut-Cut Fruit" helped him reduce some of the damage.

However, Armament Haki still has a restraining effect on Devil Fruit users.

Ian's powerful punch inflicted a serious injury on Lightning.

'Truly worthy of being called a monster who could fight Shiryu of the Rain to a standstill!'

Lightning coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes fixed resolutely ahead.

'But no matter what, we absolutely cannot let him discover the existence of the amusement park!'

Impel Down, Level 5.5, the new transvestite paradise.

This is the "paradise" meticulously created by Emporio Ivankov, the transgender king.

As a loyal follower of Ivankov.

Lightning will not allow anyone to interfere with the Queen's grand plan!

Especially the jailers of Impel Down!

A lackey of the World Government!

Lightning once again transformed its hands into large scissors and planted them into the ground beneath its feet.

As a user of the "Cut-Cut Fruit".

Lightning can turn every part of the body into scissors.

Moreover, he can cut any hard object, manipulating the cut objects as if they were paper.

Just a few moments.

The lightning sheared the ground beneath their feet into pieces of "frozen soil fragments".

Under the influence of the [Cut-Cut Fruit]'s power, these "frozen soil fragments" were piled up like paper.

Lightning manipulated these fragments of frozen soil, tossing them out like paper airplanes.

The seemingly thin fragments of permafrost are, in essence, still pieces of hard, cold permafrost.

Under the control of lightning, the attack power of these frozen soil fragments is no less than that of ordinary artillery shells.

"KEEPOUT!"

A deluge of frozen soil fragments bombarded Ian, as if trying to completely engulf him.

Faced with this attack, Ian did not retreat but advanced.

[Paper Painting & Clay]!

Ian strolled through the densely packed fragments of permafrost, his body constantly shifting shape with the fluctuations in the air.

boom! boom! boom! ——

Each fragment of frozen soil that fell produced a deafening roar, causing the earth to tremble.

But when Ian passed through this "net of deadly fire," he was still completely unharmed.

Even the hem of his clothes wasn't dirty!

"Is this all the high-ranking officers in the revolutionary army are capable of?"

Chapter 36: Another platinum treasure chest in hand!

Ian spread his five fingers, and white clay surged out, instantly transforming into several thick strips of clay.

The tip of each clay strip was covered with a thin layer of Armament Haki to enhance its destructive power.

"Then, the roles of offense and defense have shifted!"

"Clay rainstorm!"

Ian manipulated the clay strips, unleashing a storm of attacks on the lightning.

Each clay strip that struck the ground could easily create a huge, deep crater.

The lightning dodged one, then two.

But there's no way to avoid the third and fourth points...

boom!

Lightning's body was struck by a clay strip, the clay attack wrapped in Armament Haki instantly causing him to pause.

Immediately afterwards, an endless stream of clay strips attacked, completely engulfing the lightning.
