Chapter 54 : Closest encounter with death
Blaze with black hair on his forehead fluttering lightly, raised his eyes and stared at Doflamingo in front of him.
The enemy in front of him is definitely the strongest one he has encountered so far!
"I heard that Marine hired a very young intern. It should be you, kid, what's your name?"
Doflamingo retracted his leg and looked at Blaze.
Blaze didn't speak, but just glanced at the Marine students who were controlled by Doflamingo's lines, holding the sword and slashing in the air, cutting off all those lines.
Doflamingo squinted slightly and his gaze flicked over Raikiri in Blaze's hand.
"Fufufu boy, you have a good sword how about showing it to me?"
He stretched out his hand towards Blaze.
A few thin invisible white threads around him entangled towards Blaze.
Doflamingo wanted to capture this kid whose strength was quite surprising.
He can be recruited by Marine as an intern and get to follow Zephyr. With such a famous sword and strength, he must be quite valued.
If he catches him and uses it as a bargaining chip with Marine...
Doflamingo thought of this and his eyes under the sunglasses flashed and the speed at which he grabbed Blaze suddenly increased.
"Haki, harden!"
Blaze held the handle of the sword with both hands and his eyes were focused.
Facing the powerful enemy in front of him that surpassed his current stage, his heart was surprisingly calm at this moment and all the sounds and details around him appeared in his mind.
The complete concentration of the sun breathing method!
"Sun breathing technique, First Form :"
"Dance!"
He moved towards Doflamingo's grabbed hand and swiped a giant burning slash. The subtle silk threads around him were burned as soon as it approached Blaze.
Doflamingo felt the Haki and power contained in this slash and his face changed slightly.
Seeing that his hand was about to be cut off by this cut.
Doflamingo's five fingers formed into claws, Armament Haki wrapped around and one claw was thrust out forward!
"Goshikito (Penta-chromatic string)!"
Five lines of different colors collided with the giant slash that condensed into a burning tiger.
After only a stalemate for a few seconds, Blaze's slash was torn apart and the goshikito continued towards Blaze.
The strength gap between the two can be seen clearly at this time.
But in Blaze's eyes at this moment, the speed of the five threads that were quickly cut towards him seemed to have slowed down and a lot of details were fed back to his mind, including the sharpness, toughness, speed and the killing intent and maliciousness of the five threads. Wait.
"It can be cut!"
At this moment, falling into that kind of strange state, a gleam of light flashed in Blaze's pupils, whose perception ability had doubled.
He lifted the Raikiri in his hand and the crimson flames like the flames of the sun slowly spiraled along the hilt towards the blade.
It was just a second before he was about to cut out the blow.
A pitch-black iron fist blasted away the Five Color Strings tangent to Blaze.
While Blaze entangled Doflamingo for a while, Zephyr, who had rescued all Marine disciples, used shave to come to Blaze.
Taking off his sunglasses, he stared at Doflamingo closely. His whole body was bloody and hurt, but his aura was amazing. The eyes staring at Doflamingo boiled with murderous intent, like a beast out for hunting!
"Step back, Blaze, leave it to me, next."
Zephyr raised a pair of dark arms and stared at Doflamingo, blocking Blaze behind him.
Blaze looked at the injury behind his back and wanted to say something.
Zephyr said in a low voice: "I'm not old enough to need help from a kid, get out of here!"
After he finished speaking, he stomped heavily on his feet, displayed an extremely accomplished shave and instantly came to Doflamingo and slammed his fist down.
The entire warship was shaken.
Faced with Zephyr's Armament Haki's furious punch.
Doflamingo was directly punched from this side of the warship to the other side of the warship, penetrating an unknown number of iron plates.
"cough!"
A mouthful of bright red blood spurted from Doflamingo's mouth.
The shadow fell from the sky and under Doflamingo's sunglasses, his pupils shrank rapidly.
boom!
Zephyr fell from above with one foot.
The warship sank and then leaned toward this end and the sea on both sides shook violently.
Doflamingo, who was able to avoid the blow, stood on the swaying warship, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, staring at the slowly rising Zephyr.
"So this is the strength of Marine Admiral, Black Arm Zephyr, it really is not a vain name."
Zephyr with his thick and burly arms and completely coated black said nothing but locked him with murderous intent and aura.
A drop of cold sweat dripped from Doflamingo's forehead.
"Hey, hey, it seems that I angered a tiger today..."
He fell silent.
The warship shook again.
Zephyr disappeared in place.
Before Doflamingo could react, he was kicked out by a leg from the side.
Once again penetrated the warship.
Just when he was about to be kicked into the sea.
Doflamingo gritted his teeth and connected the railing of the warship with a silk thread, pulling back his figure that was about to fall into the sea.
As soon as he returned to the warship, Doflamingo immediately performed his current strongest trick that can be shown.
"Torikago (Bird cage)!"
In an instant, with the command of Doflamingo's ten hands, countless slender and sharp white lines were spread to the entire surrounding area.
Zephyr appeared in the air in front of him, just as his dark fist containing terrifying power was about to fall.
Doflamingo let out another arrogant laugh.
"Fufufu Zephyr, my life and the lives of your beloved students, which one will you choose."
Zephyr's pupils shrank and Observation Haki instantly sensed the situation there.
With his punch now, he could indeed heavily injure Heavenly Yaksha in front of him, but over there his student might die again.
Zephyr made the choice without hesitation.
He gave up on Doflamingo in front of him and quickly returned to rescue his students.
Looking at this scene.
Severely injured Doflamingo smiled more and more wildly and proudly.
"Hey, Zephyr, a strong man like you is also invested in so-called feelings. Letting these worthless wastes become your weakness. This is really ridiculous."
Blaze, Ain and others were attacked from all sides.
Blaze looked at the white thread cut from all directions and felt the dangerous aura contained in it. His eyes were focused and he squeezed the handle of Raikiri's. Armament Haki hardened directly and wrapped it around the sword.
It's one of Doflamingo's full blows?
Now he was not sure whether he could take it.
Ain took the lead.
"Tempest Kick!"
Her Tempest Kick couldn't cut those white lines at all, but was directly chopped.
With a pale face, Ain gritted her teeth and stood in front of other Marine freshmen and drew her sword from her waist and cut it out against the dozen white lines that were cut towards this side.
"Shredding wolf!"
A blue sword aura condensed by her sword rushed out.
But it was shredded instantly.
The sword in Ain's hand was also cut into several pieces.
She opened her eyes wide and the white lines in her pupils quickly enlarged.
"Ain! Get out of the way"
Binz yelled anxiously.
But at this moment, Ain had no time to dodge.
At that moment.
"Wind breathing technique , Second Form : Claws-Purifying Wind!!"
A loud shout exploded behind Ain.
Immediately four violent slashes of cyan were accompanied by turbulent winds toward the white silk threads that looked like reaper sickles.
The two sides were in deadlock for a moment.
Just when the white silk thread was starting to cut again.
A pair of dark and burly fists wrapped in haki smashed down fiercely.
The sharp white silk thread was smashed away in an instant.
"Good job! Blaze boy!"
Zephyr's tall figure appeared beside Ain.
"Teacher Zephyr!" Binz couldn't help but burst into tears.
After walking in front of death, Ain's legs became soft and sat down.
Blaze who was behind her also let out a long sigh of relief.
And then.
A feeling of danger came out of him again.
"Where?"
Blaze turned around alertly.
A thread glowing with blood came out of a dead Marine student bounced silently and then began to stab from the back of the surviving Marines at an extremely fast speed. .
If this blow hits.
This group of Marine freshmen will be directly killed.
Zephyr's pupils shrunk when he noticed the attack through observation haki and his tall and burly figure flashed quickly, appearing behind the group of Marine freshmen who could not cope with what happened.
But it was too late to make precise defenses with Armament Haki.
Whoosh!
The thread is almost invisible and is extremely secretive and thin and it brings a string of blood beads that are penetrated through Zephyr's right shoulder.
Just as it was about to pierce the heart of Marine students behind him, it was pinched by Zephyr's pitch-black palm.
"Fufufufufu!"
Doflamingo's arrogant laughter sounded from the highest point of the warship.
Wearing a pink feather coat, he stood at the highest point, looking down at the people on the deck and Zephyr: "Sure enough, Zephyr, emotion, this is your weakness!"
He raised his hands and connected all the silk threads on the entire deck.
"Whip!"
Countless threads criss-crossed towards Zephyr and the Marines he was protecting.
It's not difficult for Zephyr to defend this move himself but it's difficult to completely protect everyone.
Zephyr gritted his teeth and slammed his right arm, directly breaking the bloody thread that had penetrated his right shoulder.
Then.
Raising the pitch-black fist, he slammed heavily on the lower deck.
The deck collapsed instantly.
All the shocked Marine students such as Ain fell.
Those silk threads could not be stretched straight because they had no focus, forming a situation of siege and cutting.
"As expected of Admiral."
Doflamingo squinted his eyes.
Zephyr stepped on his feet, shaped like a cannonball and rushed towards him, his injured right arm clenching his fist and the air wave entangled .
"Line waves!"
Doflamingo caused all the silk threads scattered on this warship to flow here, like white waves, winding towards the rushing Zephyr.
Zephyr's fist was wrapped in a soft silk thread, tightly entangled.
But the power of his punch was still amazing.
Directly crushed the web barrier used by Doflamingo for defense, penetrating through his abdomen.
"cough!"
Doflamingo opened his mouth and let out a mouthful of blood, but he looked at Zephyr in front of him with a crazy smile on his face.
"Fufufu, it's almost time."
Strings of silk thread were tangled along his wound towards Zephyr's arm and body. Zephyr just wanted to shake it away.
Suddenly his right arm was numb.
The strength is completely unable to show up.
He frowned.
"Hmm, did you finally find it?"
Doflamingo laughed wildly: "It's too late."
A sharp line ran directly across Zephyr Armament Haki's dissipated right arm.
At that moment.
A lot of blood spewed out from the fracture!
Zephyr gritted his teeth and stared at Doflamingo, who was pierced by his right arm in front of him:
"Doflamingo, what did you do?!"
"Fufufu!"
Doflamingo, with Zephyr's right arm still in his abdomen, laughed arrogantly, "I said long ago, the safety of the students is your weakness, Zephyr."
"The blood that pierced your shoulder, I added some poison."
Zephyr's eyes shrunk slightly.
"Fufufu you can last for so long after getting hit by it. It's worthy of being Black Arm Admiral . You have quite the strength."
While talking, Doflamingo reached out and pulled Zephyr's right arm that was stuck in his abdomen.
He saw his pierced body, thousands of thin threads quickly entangled and started repairing the internal organs.
Zephyr saw this scene and his pupils shrank, ignoring the wound on his right arm, he used Armament Haki's hardened left hand and slammed it down towards Doflamingo.
"Line Wave web barrier!
Doflamingo blocked this heavy punch with an enhanced string barrier but he was still knocked into the air.
Just when Zephyr jumped up again and was about to give another heavy blow.
In mid-air, Doflamingo's hand was connected to the clouds in the sky with a thread and his figure flew into the sky quickly under the tension of that thread.
"Fufufu it's a worthwhile trip to see the strength of an Admiral and get an Admiral's arm. That's it for today and those guys consider it a gift from me."
Zephyr used Moonwalk but still couldn't catch up, roared.
"Doflamingo!"
"Fufufufu-"
Heavenly Yaksha Doflamingo's sullen laughter resounded throughout the sky.
But his figure has disappeared.
...
The warship was silent, damaged and messy.
The deck was covered with blood and stumps everywhere.
There were more than 60 Marine freshmen, 11 people died in the hands of Doflamingo, 17 people who died of parasites under his control.
"Teacher Zephyr... your arm."
Ain, Binz and others stood in front of the corpses of their dead companions, looking at Zephyr, who was slowly walking back after losing one of his arms with tears on their face.
The attack came too suddenly and the people that were still around and chatting freshly just disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Zephyr walked up to the dead students and knelt down, tears streaming out of his eyes.
At this time, thunder was rolling in the sky where the dark clouds gathered and the heavy rain poured down.
Blaze stood in the corner with Raikiri in his arms and looked at them. His half-length, ear-length black hair was soaked in the rain and fell on his face.
Under the black bangs, his eyes were conflicted.
For him, he couldn't completely empathize with Zephyr's pain at this time.
What he was thinking in his heart now is.
The original plot should be that Edward Weevil, who has not yet become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, cut off Zephyr's arm and killed all the marine freshmen except Ain, Binz and Shuzo but now it turned out to be the work of Doflamingo.
Sure enough, because of his appearance, it changed the original plot...
