Chapter 124 Cutting Iron
A sword was thrust towards Cavendish's throat!
Swish!
The afterimage left behind was shattered by the sword blade, and the opponent instantly appeared beside him.
As Yelena dodged the attack, she breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, her anger hadn't increased Cavendish's speed further.
However, this guy's speed is quite a headache right now.
Her attacks rarely inflict serious injury; even if she aims for a vital spot, the opponent will dodge them.
We need to find a way to limit the opponent's speed.
With her current strength, she could end the battle with a single, decisive blow, even if it were her fist.
Yelena's gaze fell on the surrounding craters—
Let's give it a try.
She charged at Cavendish, engaging in a sword fight while her hands subtly touched the ground and rocks around her.
A few seconds later, the ground beneath Cavendish's feet began to expand.
Swish!
As the sword fell, the ground, which had just begun to curve upwards, instantly returned to its original state, while the smile on his lips actually widened considerably.
Yelena was astonished; this kid, in his sleepwalking state, actually remembered what happened when he was awake!
And they even know how to mock the enemy!
Could it be that the white horse form is the real body, and the pirate prince is the second personality?
Very likely, no normal person is that narcissistic!
Yelena was puzzled. The Boom-Boom Fruit was useless. How could she defeat her opponent in a short time?
She didn't want to wait until this guy automatically deactivated his white horse form.
If only we could keep him in check.
Wait, restrictions?
Isn't there a ready-made solution in the bag?
I'm getting a bit tired of the Boom-Boom Fruit, so it's good to try something new.
Yelena reached into her large pocket and summoned the item next to the wanted poster.
Cavendish saw her make a new move and rushed over in a flash.
clang!
Yelena swung her sword and sent her opponent flying. "I'm slower than you, but that doesn't mean you can hurt me."
[Identification successful. The attribute obtained this time is Gaspard's Gummy Fruit ability. Inherit?]
"inherit!"
Gaspard died yesterday, and what I inherited from him was the complete version of the special Paramecia-type ability.
Cavendish missed his first attack and charged again from a different direction.
Yelena deactivated her beastman form, quickly transforming her upper body into syrup and causing the syrup inside to swirl.
puff!
The longsword pierced Yelena's left shoulder, with half of the blade embedded in it.
Upon seeing this, Cavendish's smile deepened.
He strained his wrist, trying to pull the longsword from the enemy's wound, but the blade remained unmoved.
The next moment, he tried to exert force with his arm, but it was still no use.
"Huh?" Cavendish opened his eyes, which had been squinting, for a moment, a human-like look of doubt flashing in them.
He gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands and planted his feet firmly on the ground, using all the strength of his limbs, but the result was still the same.
He realized something was wrong, loosened his grip on the sword hilt, and backed away.
Unfortunately, it's too late to back down now.
Yelena grabbed his neck!
She shrugged her shoulder; the sword that had almost pierced through her shoulder caused her no pain whatsoever.
Now I understand. No wonder Logia-type Devil Fruit users always love to see the stunned and shocked look on their enemies' faces when their attacks miss.
This feels really good.
Unfortunately, she wasn't a true Logia-type user, and the guy next to her wasn't a normal person either, so the feedback they received wasn't much.
Yelena sprouted a syrupy arm from her back and pulled the longsword from her shoulder.
"Now, it's my turn to make a move."
She grabbed a fist the size of a sandbag and punched Cavendish in the eye socket!
Bang!
Cavendish's head trembled, and his eyes immediately turned black and blue.
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but this guy's crazed eyes seem to have become a little clearer.
Bang!Bang!
Punches landed squarely on his head.
Soon, Cavendish's features returned to normal in terms of appearance, and physically began to swell up one by one.
White Horse status lifted.
"Hiss—where am I?"
"On the battlefield where the black-robed hunters are hunted," Yelena said, raising her fist.
Cavendish's pupils contracted, and he struggled to open his swollen mouth. "Please spare my face—uh!"
The fist rapidly enlarged in his eyes—Bang!
The syrup-like arm on her back held the longsword out to her face. She drew the scabbard from Cavendish's waist, and after obtaining the complete weapon, Yelena casually tossed him aside.
"Durantell" is hers from today onwards.
Boom!
The sound of stones exploding came from afar.
Yelena turned her head and saw a white figure and a black figure engaged in fierce combat several hundred meters away.
It should be Vivi and Schiru.
Should we go take a look?
But what if the guy on the ground wakes up?
She didn't kill him in order to obtain his attributes next month.
A few seconds later, Yelena left.
Cavendish's figure appeared inside a syrup ball more than five meters in diameter, with only a small hole for his nostrils to prevent him from suffocating.
clang!
Vivi and Schiru's figures flashed past each other, and not a drop of blood appeared on the raised blade.
Vivi sighed softly, "Another failure."
"Hmph!" Schiru sneered and lunged forward. "I've said it before, this body of mine can even withstand cannon fire, let alone mere swords and blades."
Vivi swung her knife at his neck, but he didn't even flinch. Instead, he thrust two steel fingers straight at Vivi's eyes!
Vivi twisted to avoid the attack, but the knife in her hand did not change its trajectory, sparking a lot of sparks as it scraped against Schiru's throat.
"What's with your reaction speed? It's like you can predict my movements in advance?"
"Personal privacy." Vivi had no intention of answering the enemy's questions.
"Then beat me until you tell!"
The battle resumes.
After several dozen moves, with no clear winner, Vivi stepped aside, and Schiru also temporarily stopped fighting.
"This is definitely not a Devil Fruit ability! If you teach me how to train this technique, I can guarantee I won't kill you!"
Schiru turned his head and glanced towards the sea, a hint of anxiety appearing on his face.
"What's wrong? Are you worried that the black-robed hunter will come to help me after defeating her opponent?" Vivi chuckled. "That's true. With her swordsmanship level, she can easily cut through mere steel."
"It was your luck not to have met her at sea before, but—" A resolute glint flashed in her eyes, "Meeting you here is my luck."
Schirul was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"If I defeat you here, it will mean I am a swordsman who can cut through steel!"
Yelena, who had quietly arrived nearby to watch the game, paused in her tracks.
hiss.
That sounds familiar.
Do you also dream of becoming the strongest swordsman?
Vivi gripped the knife hilt tightly with both hands, her tone becoming calm, "Continue, I won't use that move again."
Having mastered Observation Haki at a young age, and having never encountered a strong opponent, she has hardly suffered any injuries.
It must be the lack of crisis that has caused the swordsmanship level to remain stagnant for so long.
Next, she stopped using her Haki and fought entirely with her swordsmanship and the physique she had honed over a long period of time!
Schirul looked at Vivi expressionlessly. "You dare underestimate me?"
Vivi launched the first attack, slashing her sword towards the enemy's chest!
Bang!
Vivi flew backward, while Schiru's chest was completely unharmed.
Yelena's teeth ached at the sight. "You idiot! You actually gave up your advantage!"
Who taught this stubborn brat?!
"Pah!" Vivi spat out a mouthful of blood, her body turning into a blur as she charged towards the enemy once more.
"Die, you arrogant swordsman!"
With murderous intent in his eyes, Schiru spread his hands out, his ten fingers like ten steel needles, and suddenly plunged them into Vivi's head!
Yelena's heart pounded. In a flash, she appeared beside the two of them, her right hand transforming into syrup as she wrapped it around Schiru's wrist.
Suddenly, an image flashed before her eyes, her mind went blank for a moment, but her hands did not stop moving.
The syrup wrapped smoothly around Schirul's wrist, immobilizing his fingers and preventing him from moving forward even an inch.
At the same time, Vivi ducked down and bumped into Schirul's chest, the long sword in her hand instantly piercing through his chest, the tip of the blade emerging from his back.
"You—you all—"
Schirul looked down at Vivi, then turned to look at Yelena, wanting to say something, but the pain of having his heart pierced prevented him from saying anything more; only the anger in his eyes could express his attitude.
You are ganging up on us!
Yelena withdrew the syrup and gently shook her head. "It was wrong of me to interfere in your duel, but whether or not you used this move doesn't really affect the outcome. You should be able to see that the premise for you hitting her is that she can't break through your defense."
Vivi's speed was already a fraction faster than Squirrel's. Even without using Observation Haki, Squirrel could only injure Vivi when her attack failed and her body paused.
Now that his heart has been pierced, and he's not a Zoan type, how can he possibly have the strength to fight back?
Vivi drew her weapon.
puff!
Blood splattered, and the bluish-black dissipated from Schiru's body, returning him to his normal appearance.
He lay on the ground, struggling to turn his head to look at the knife in Weiwei's hand, before finally losing all his strength and slowly closing his eyelids.
Just as Yelena was about to check if the guy was still breathing, she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder as Vivi leaned against her.
"Sorry, I'm a little exhausted."
"Let me carry you back."
Yelena hoisted Vivi onto her back, and with one of her arms, laced with syrup, wrapped it around the corpse on the ground, then walked towards the sea.
Vivi glanced at the green arm but quickly looked away without interest. She leaned forward, whispered boastfully in Yelena's ear, "I finally did it. I've become stronger."
Feeling the warm breath on her ear, Yelena shifted her neck uncomfortably.
"Yes, yes, congratulations!"
Isn't it just a breakthrough in the heat of battle?
She wasn't envious at all.
I just want to fight you genius freaks!
Vivi shook her head in dissatisfaction, bumping it against Yelena's cheek. "You're being a bit perfunctory."
"Hiss, Sword Master, please show mercy!"
Between playful moments, Yelena's mind kept replaying the scene she had just "seen."
