Chapter 251: Extreme Ice Swordsman
Shadow Harbor is an island that has existed on the peninsula in front of the Grand Line since ancient times.
The gloomy island is surrounded by shadows, and as the name suggests, it is a very gloomy and terrifying island.
For some unknown reason, it is almost eternal night here, with no light in sight. Only a big full moon hangs in the sky, barely illuminating the island.
Coastal pier.
Blackbeard Teach, who assassinated the captain of the 4th Division of the Whitebeard Pirates and stole the Dark-Dark Fruit, is waiting for news from Lafayette.
"I've been gone for almost a week. What happened to Lafayette? There's no news at all?"
Blackbeard Teach sat on the dock, looking at the dark sea ahead where not even the sun could shine through.
Even in this environment, the island is still inhabited.
"I can't get through to the Den Den Mushi at all. Will we be caught by the navy?" Oka said, holding a sniper rifle.
"Maybe he betrayed me, Captain." Balsas flexed his muscles and said with a smile.
"No way?" Blackbeard disagreed with their words and said, "We have the same interests. He has no reason to betray us. He just went to deliver a message."
In his mind, his blind guess was that Lafayette was most likely arrested by the Navy.
"We are all pirates, nothing is impossible, Captain." As he said this, on the roof of a nearby building, Oka looked up at a certain place in the sky with a sniper rifle.
"Huh? What's wrong, Oka?" Blackbeard seemed to have noticed it as well and was looking in the same direction as him.
Bang.
Bang!
Bang-!
The sound of an air explosion coming from the distance gradually grew louder.
"Someone is coming this way, approaching quickly." Oka concentrated and quickly saw through the lens a figure walking towards him in the shadows.
"You said there are people, right? This is Shadow Harbor. No one can come here without the help of the permanent pointer!"
Oka looked at the person in the lens calmly. His body curves didn't look like a man at all, but rather like a woman.
He was holding a bag in his left hand and Lafayette in his right hand, and he looked dying.
"What if she has it?" Seeing this, Oka decisively pulled the trigger.
Bang! The moment the bullet rushed out of the barrel, Oka's eyes suddenly trembled.
The figure flashed at an incredible speed almost at the same time, in a way that was difficult to capture with the naked eye or his observation Haki.
"You said that was a human!!" The members of the Blackbeard Pirates were also shocked.
In the blink of an eye, a figure fell into the port from hundreds of meters away like a cannonball, causing a huge impact.
Smoke and dust spread everywhere, and Lafayette's seriously injured body was thrown out. He fell to the ground and tumbled several times before falling at Blackbeard's feet.
"Lafayette!?" Blackbeard stared at Lafayette at his feet with a cold sweat on his face and found that he was still conscious.
"Captain Teach, run." Lafayette's eyes were bloodshot and he spoke to Blackbeard with difficulty, holding his breath.
"Blackbeard, Teach, right?" Hongye strolled out from the smoke and dust, looking directly at Blackbeard: "I have something to talk to you about."
The moment I saw that the other person was a beautiful woman with a proud figure and stunning looks.
Blackbeard couldn't believe that Lafayette was attracted by this woman he had never seen before.
The speed at which he stepped out of the air-blast clouds in mid-air and approached the island so quickly made him ashamed and shocked.
"A woman of unknown origin, who injured my people, told me she had something to ask me?!" Blackbeard had a fierce look on his face, and a thick black mist emanated from his body. He stretched out his hand and aimed at Hongye with his palm:
"You'd better give me an explanation, my charming little darling, or I'll make you want to live or die."
Since the other person is a woman who has no impression in his mind, no matter how strong he is, he can't be much better.
Blackbeard analyzed that the person who moved at super high speed just now was most likely a Devil Fruit user.
And now, what he is least afraid of is the user of devil fruit ability.
Seeing Blackbeard activate the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit, Momiji squatted down and put the bag on her shoulder on the ground.
He took out a thin swordsman's robe and smiled coldly at Blackbeard: "Before you make a move, are you ready?"
"Dark Water!" Blackbeard activated his ability upon hearing this and didn't want to negotiate with her anymore.
A powerful dark gravity emerged from his palm like a black hole.
The next second, Hongye, who had never experienced the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit, suddenly leaned forward, and her body curves were as difficult to control as a drawn longbow.
She gritted her teeth and felt the powerful attraction of the Dark-Dark Fruit firsthand.
The power of the devil fruit always feels fresh to Hongye no matter how many times she sees it.
"Hahaha!" Blackbeard laughed when he saw that the other party had been tricked. "To be honest, I have lived for almost 40 years and have never seen anyone like you on the sea. How about you become my wife?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Blackbeard saw Hongye strip off all his clothes, and an astonishing domineering aura burst out of his body, destroying everything around him.
“Ugh…! This is actually Conqueror’s Haki!!” Teach was knocked back by the impact of the Haki, and the ability of the fruit instantly lost its effect on Momiji.
What he inhaled into his face was Hongye's Takahiro revealing short shirt and a whole set of clothes.
Blackbeard took Hongye's clothes from his face and looked at the drastic changes in Hongye's body with an almost dazed look.
All of his companions were repelled by the impact of Haki, the buildings around Shadow Harbor collapsed, and the huge raft of the Blackbeard Pirates on the shore disintegrated and floated out to sea.
In the blink of an eye, Hongye put on the sword robe and his body began to undergo amazing changes.
The fair and snow-white skin gradually became rough, countless scars quickly grew out from under the skin, and the domineering electric current lingering on the body became more and more intense.
"You are!" When Tiqi saw Hongye change from a girl into a man, his eyes suddenly shrank to the size of needles and he no longer had the momentum of the previous moment.
"captain!"
"Who is this guy? His domineering aura is even stronger than that of Red Hair!"
"What's going on? Are there people in the world who can change their gender at will?"
The Blackbeard Pirates tried their best to resist the sudden attack of the Conqueror's Haki, which was already the limit of their own strength, let alone launching a counterattack.
The only thing that was not suppressed was the Dark-Dark Fruit in Blackbeard's body.
Teach's horrified expression showed fear, and he said to his men, "He is the Ice Sword Master, a legendary figure on the same level as Roger and Dad more than 20 years ago... This is not good, maybe we will die here today."
When he revealed Hongye's other identity, the domineering aura that spread throughout the entire Shadow Harbor suddenly stopped.
The members of the Blackbeard Pirates also moved closer to each other, fear spreading throughout their bodies, as if they were trying to find a sense of security by hugging together.
"The legend you mentioned is this man in front of me?!" Bashas looked at Blackbeard in shock: "No wonder his domineering aura was so terrifying. I almost fainted."
What the Blackbeard Pirates didn't know was that Arthur didn't use the maximum level of his Conqueror's Haki to intimidate and suppress them.
In the battle of Rogue Town, he almost lost everything.
Unable to fight, his own strength has stagnated at that time.
He could only concentrate on cultivating his domineering aura, and now he has cultivated the three colors of domineering aura to perfection.
Arthur, who had regained his male body, had an extremely cold gaze, as icy as the underworld, piercing into the bodies of all the Blackbeard Pirates.
The cold wind is piercing, bone-chilling and heart-piercing.
Even the calmness and composure on their faces were wiped off, and everyone became absent-minded, fearing for their own lives.
Unlike the gentle gaze of the girl, Arthur's expression as a boy is normal.
His female body was just a disguise and a way for him to suppress his inner violence.
Arthur was surrounded by red electricity, which almost formed a barrier as he stared at Teach:
"Wife of the bandit leader? It seems that you are very interested in my body, little Tikki! Then kiss or lick it, it still has my alluring body fragrance."
"Uh..." After listening to Arthur's words, Teach looked at the clothes in his right palm and immediately threw them to the ruined building nearby.
He looked at Arthur from head to toe. Except for a devil-like mask around his waist, even the black sword that all swordsmen coveted was gone.
"Haha." Teach pretended to be calm and said to Arthur with a smile: "You disappeared for almost twenty years... So..."
Just as he was about to tease Arthur about his girlhood, his mouth suddenly stopped.
When he thought of Arthur's achievements twenty years ago, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
"So what? Teach?" Arthur started to move, flexing his wrists and strolling around the Blackbeard Pirates.
"It's nothing, Arthur. I apologize for my tone just now. You are also a senior in the pirate forces, right? You won't be petty with me, right?" Teach adjusted his tone and showed great respect for Arthur as he started a conversation with him:
"What do you want to do with a guy like me who has neither a name nor a reputation?"
Blackbeard was a little worried at this moment, wondering if Arthur came to settle accounts with him for killing his crew members and betraying the righteousness in the Pirate Code.
If that were the case, after today, he and his companions would completely disappear from the sea.
Everyone's vests were shining, and their eyes were fixed on Arthur who was walking around the dock.
The overwhelming domineering aura just now had stunned all the townspeople of Shadow Harbor.
"I have been hiding for twenty years, swallowing my anger and hiding my identity, just to wait for an opportunity." Arthur said to them: "If there is no important purpose, why do you think I would come to such a dark sea?"
"Zihaha..." Teach broke out in a cold sweat after listening to Arthur's words: "Zihahaha! Why can't I understand what you are saying?"
Teach found it incredible, and the way he stared at Arthur was as if all his inner plans and thoughts were seen through.
He had never told anyone what he wanted to do. Could it be that the man in front of him knew?
"It's okay. I'll beat you up first, and then you'll know everything."
Arthur stopped and said to Teach with his fist covered:
"When the time comes, there will be no need to be so deadlocked and talk nonsense. This is also my favorite way of negotiation."
