Chapter 103 The Wonderful Uses of the Boom-Boom Fruit
Compared to before, a much larger wave of sword energy landed on Eugene's back.
Puff!
Blood splattered.
The sword wave sliced through the tough skin, leaving a bloody gash several meters long on his back.
"hiss--"
Eugene let out a piercing growl as his body rolled around on the street.
As soon as Yelena landed from mid-air, a thick tail swung towards her!
Bang!
Its tail slammed heavily onto the ground, the cracks spreading and the whole street trembled.
Yelena anticipated the attack with her Observation Haki, but the enemy was too fast. She only had time to move her body to avoid being hit head-on.
The aftershocks of the attack were not avoided in time, and a burning pain immediately shot through the body that was grazed by the tail.
This minor injury was nothing; there was something else that made Yelena frown.
After only a brief skirmish with the enemy, houses were damaged, walls collapsed, and streets were ravaged beyond recognition.
Crying continued to emanate from the buildings on both sides. And she could clearly sense the fear hidden within those sounds.
He made a decision immediately in his mind.
Battles cannot take place within towns!
God knows how many people will be affected after the battle ends.
She tried to back away towards the dock.
Eugene roared, his mouth slightly open, revealing his fangs. His massive body spun rapidly, transforming into a bluish-brown whirlwind several meters long, which roared as it rushed towards him.
The whirlwind flew close to the ground, leaving dents in the hard rock floor wherever it passed.
Yelena looked horrified. A death roll?
The problem is, you didn't even bite your target, so how did you flip over? Saltwater crocodiles have that kind of ability?
In the blink of an eye, the whirlwind arrived before my eyes.
Without a second thought, she slashed with her sword!
Stab it!
Sparks flew everywhere.
Yelena immediately felt a throbbing pain in her hand and almost lost her grip on the sword hilt.
Her feet sank into the ground, and she was pushed backward by the whirlwind, as if she were being hit head-on by a high-speed train at sea, leaving her only able to defend herself passively.
Just as Yelena felt she was about to give way and be thrown away, the whirlwind's rotation speed rapidly decreased, revealing its true form.
Bang!
The crocodile, which was over ten meters long, crashed heavily to the ground. Its once ferocious eyes were now only white, clearly indicating that it had been dazed by its own spinning.
No, I was all prepared to get elbowed and sent flying, and you just lay down first?
They wanted to take advantage of his illness and kill him!
Yelena raised her longsword, intending to stab him in the eye, but her expression changed instantly, and she quickly retreated.
"vomit!"
The very next second after she left, a large amount of vomit covered the spot where she had been standing, and a foul stench immediately filled the air.
Yelena's face turned ugly. She took a few steps back again, swung her longsword forward, and a blood-red slash flew out quickly!
"Ah!" A wound suddenly appeared on Eugene's crocodile face, and blood flowed down the folds to his mouth.
The intense pain instantly brought Eugene back to his senses. He shifted his form and entered his orc form.
Bang!
He pulled out a dark blue spiked club from somewhere, and the club slammed into the ground, leaving a dent.
"You're the first person to take this hit!"
Eugene in his orc form is over six meters tall, with spiky backs and thick leathery scales covering his entire body, making him appear to have no weaknesses.
Yelena's eyes flickered; she remembered that saltwater crocodiles were also known as naked-necked crocodiles, and that they did not have thick scales on their necks and throats.
I glanced at it discreetly, and sure enough, the skin in those two spots looked softer than the rest of the body.
"I suddenly don't want to kill you anymore. You will take Lorne's place and become my first mate."
Eugene's unexpected words almost made Yelena stutter.
Are pirates really this reckless? They actually extend an invitation to the enemy who killed their comrade!
Or perhaps her charm is too great, and along the way, whether it's the navy, assassin organizations, or pirates, everyone wants to recruit her.
If she had a mirror in her pocket, she would definitely take it out and take a good look at her face.
Eugene picked up his spiked club, moved away from the pile of vomit, and sat down in another clean spot.
"Is it strange? Hmph, if a weak comrade dies, so be it, who cares? But you're different. You're powerful, and you're a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user like me!"
"If the two of us join forces, we'll definitely make a bigger name for ourselves in the first half of the Grand Line! It's not impossible for our bounty to increase by another hundred million!"
"Once we reach the new world, with our reputation then, we'll definitely attract that person's attention!"
That sir?
Yelena's gaze swept over Eugene's head. The ivory-shaped horn ornament that he had been wearing was gone, probably because it had fallen off when he transformed into his saltwater crocodile form.
This guy is suspected to be a Kaido admirer.
Before she could ask, Eugene offered the explanation: "Kaido, one of the Four Emperors of the Beasts!"
"Not long ago, I learned from the Donquixote Family's underground black market that the Beasts Pirates are recruiting powerful Zoan-type Devil Fruit users!"
Eugene's eyes blazed with fervor, and his voice rose instantly: "Kaido is the strongest man in the world! I chose to become a pirate because I admired him! How could I miss such a great opportunity?"
"Isn't the world's strongest man Whitebeard?" Yelena questioned.
"White Beard? Hahahaha, just a remnant of the old era. How much of his peak fighting power can he still muster?"
"Remember this, the strongest Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, the ever-weak Lord Kaido, is the true strongest in the world!"
Eugene glared at him with displeasure. How dare he question his idol's abilities in front of him?
Is he courting death?
Yelena almost burst out laughing. The strongest Zoan-type? Did you ask the people of Elbaf?
"You're only a bounty hunter for the money. You can just raid a town and get a Bailey, right?"
"Become my ally, and together with Lord Kaido, build the strongest Zoan-type army!"
Eugene stood up and stretched out his hand, as big as a water tank, in front of Yelena.
"The invitation was very sincere, but I declined."
Eugene's smile froze on his face, his eyes instantly flashing with a fierce light. "What did you say? Say it again."
He withdrew his hand and raised the spiked club.
His response was a flying slash.
Right-angle flash!
"Who does Kaido think he is, to presume I should follow him?"
After making her sarcastic remarks, Yelena turned and ran.
Bang!
Eugene swung his spiked club to deflect the attacks, roaring to the sky, "Damn black-robed hunter! I'll tear you to shreds with my own mouth!"
Eugene couldn't attack from a distance, so he could only chase after him, wielding his spiked club.
Yelena fought and retreated, occasionally unleashing a few slashes to harass the enemy, keeping them at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
Soon, the two left the dock and ventured deep into the uninhabited area to the north.
"Run! Keep running!"
After sprinting nearly a kilometer in one go, Eugene showed no signs of fatigue. When Yelena stopped, he swung his spiked club at her!
Just as Eugene was about to get close to Yelena, the ground beneath his feet suddenly bulged up.
He immediately lost his balance and fell to the side.
"What is this?!"
The rocky ground expanded to its limit and exploded instantly!
Bang! !
Eugene was swept away by the shockwave and thrown to the side.
"Cough cough... What happened?! Why did the ground explode?"
Eugene got up from the ground, covered in dust and dirt. Apart from a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, he had no obvious injuries.
"Want to know?"
Yelena appeared beside Eugene and slashed at his neck with her sword.
Eugene's body jolted, and he hurriedly held the spiked club horizontally in front of him.
clang!
The sword blade collided with the staff, sparks flying.
Seeing the spiked weapon in front of her, Yelena's eyes flickered, and she switched to holding the sword with one hand, quickly tapping the spiked club with her free hand.
Sensing the weakening of the force in front of him, Eugene had no doubts and with a wave of his hand, sent Yelena flying back dozens of meters.
"How dare you look down on Lord Kaido in front of me! Even if you kneel down and beg for mercy, I will never... What?!?"
Before he could finish his harsh words, Eugene's expression suddenly changed, and he stared at the weapon in his hand in disbelief.
The dark blue spiked club rapidly expanded in front of him, turning into a sphere in the blink of an eye.
