Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

It’s so nice to see you all again.

"Princess Perona~~"

'Back Dofu' Sanji had a crazy look on his face, twisting his body and running up in a daze.

Brin lowered her head and sighed, saying nothing, obviously having given up struggling.

In Chopper's words, this is a genetic defect of the male members of the Vinsmoke family, which is destined to be unchangeable in this lifetime, and their children in the future will probably not be able to escape it either.

It is always a joy to meet again after a long separation.

After the Thriller Bark, Perona stayed on their ship for quite some time. She was cute, simple and had a strange aesthetic, and she had established good relationships with everyone.

At that time, there were only Nami and Robin on the ship, and Perona's joining also brought a lot of liveliness to the girls' dormitory.

When they met, they started chatting right away.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"Since you came here with Luffy, I won't kill you, but this is the second time. If I show mercy again, it will be unacceptable to my dignity."

Da-da.

A pair of straw sandals stepped out, the red-haired man stepped back, one hand on the hilt of the knife, his eyes indifferent to Kidd,

"The defeated party will surrender the pirate flag, witnessed by all present. If you accept, then draw your sword."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present couldn't help but be shocked. This price was definitely not light. The flag was the supreme soul of a pirate group.

There are only two situations in which one must surrender the flag: either surrender or disband on the spot.

Although the fact that all the members of the Red Hair Pirates are disabled has not been made public, it is a well-known fact on the sea. Moreover, Kidd's personality will not allow him to submit to others obediently.

Red Hair's words clearly showed that he was ready to completely defeat the other pirate group.

"You're so ruthless, Boss."

Jesus' thick lips twitched playfully.

Not only did the pirate group disintegrate, but the moment they handed over the flag, it also meant that their spirit was completely extinguished, and there was basically no possibility of them growing again in the future.

Kidd's eyes darkened, not a trace of fear in them, only a desire to defeat the man standing before him.

Sizzle—sizzle!

Purple electric sparks flashed from the mechanical left arm, and all nearby metal objects, including swords, spears, swords, and other weapons in the hands of the people present, vibrated and hummed under the traction of the magnet.

"It seems you have made up your mind."

Click—crack!

The red-haired man drew the Griffin from his waist, the tip of the sword pointed directly at Kidd, and the black cape behind him fluttered to one side. There was no anger in his eyes, but instead the corner of his mouth raised.

"One-on-one or group fight, it's your choice."

"I can come alone."

Kidd's expression turned ferocious, magnetic arcs flashed across his body, and his spiky red hair danced wildly.

Under the astonished gaze of the people around, all the weapons flew uncontrollably into the sky.

There was no referee in this duel. The moment he exuded magnetism and drew his red hair and sword, the battle had already begun!

"Magnetic Energy Collection!!"

Kidd shouted and clapped his palms together. All the weapons floating around him popped out instantly and shot towards the red-haired man's position.

At the moment of action, Kira and others, as well as Beckman and others on the other side, all withdrew and retreated, leaving the field to the two men who blocked everything.

bass!bass!bass!

Under the influence of the explosive magnetic force, those flying cold weapons were even able to exceed the speed of sound, piercing the air and making a sonic boom that tore the eardrums.

The red-haired man swung the knife behind him, his pupils emitting a red light. He lowered his upper body, took a quick step forward, and his figure dodged gracefully between the falling weapons.

boom! boom! boom!

One by one, the cold weapons were completely pierced into the Adam tree, the hardest wood in the world, which is said to be invulnerable to swords and guns.

The weapon's firing speed was so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye, but in the red-haired eyes, the entire trajectory of its movement from launch to landing became clearly visible lines.

He only needed to take a route that avoided all lines to easily get through all attacks. However, his movements were too fast and Kidd gradually lost track of the opponent's figure.

Clang! Clang!

The collision of the blades made two deafening sounds, and two weapons flew out in the flashing sparks, sticking into the ground and humming non-stop.

After using his knife to deflect two weapons, the red-haired man was already close to Kidd.

Beneath the flowing red hair, a pair of eyes were extremely cold, and the blade with a cold light seemed to be able to cut even the wind, slashing diagonally from top to bottom.

Kidd's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously grabbed his mechanical left arm. A purple arc of electricity emerged from his palm, invisibly pulling the incoming blade. At the same time, he gritted his teeth and leaned his body back.

Zhi——!

With a strong sense of obstruction, the blade tore the mechanical arm apart bit by bit, making a harsh cutting sound, and cut it in two amidst the flashing sparks.

At the same time, the tip of Griffin's knife cut a tiny wound on Kidd's chest, and a few drops of scarlet blood and a broken arm flew out together.

Sensing the inexplicable power coming from the knife, the red-haired man was secretly confused.

While blocking, it also cooperates with the magnetic force to affect the trajectory of his knife?

He immediately thought of what he had learned from Hongo about the other party's ability of the Magnetic Fruit.

锔——!

While thinking, the red-haired man did not stop moving. He turned the upward blade and slashed it down.

Although he dodged the knife that almost decided the outcome, Kidd's body was unbalanced as he leaned back, and he had no chance to dodge the knife.

However, he suddenly smiled grimly, pointed the remaining half of his mechanical arm at the red-haired man, and an electric arc flashed!

"Magnetic Pulse Shotgun!!"

Oops!

The red-haired man's pupils shrank immediately, and the opponent was obviously planning to exchange a killing move with him.

boom! !

The straw sandals cracked the ground, and as the broken iron exploded, the red-haired figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

Even if this blow is enough to seriously injure the opponent, there is no need to choose to win by exchanging injuries. He is confident that he can win the battle in an easier way.

The iron filings storm destroyed the entire ground in front of Cande, but when he looked up, the red-haired figure had already appeared in the air.

Kidd frowned, as if he was a little surprised that his attack failed.

He can actually dodge at this distance. How far can this guy's observation Haki see?

Kidd's expression gradually became solemn, and his observation Haki did not capture the other party's movements at all.

Is the speed too fast?

No, the speed should only depend on whether his movements can keep up. There is no reason why his observation Haki should not be visible at all. This strange feeling of incongruity lingers in Kidd's heart.

Outside the arena, the noise of the two men's fight had obviously attracted everyone's attention.

"What happened just now?"

Nami was confused and turned her head slightly to look at Reiner.

Reiner just shrugged his shoulders and said without turning his head:

"I don't know. It seems that his observation Haki doesn't work on that guy."

Yes, he didn't predict the red-haired man's move.

I used to think that Red Hair could use his Conqueror's Haki to affect other people's Observation Haki, but now it seems that is obviously not the case.

He had accurately predicted Kidd's actions just now and was not disturbed at all, but he did not see the move that Red Hair was about to make.

He should be suppressing his own aura to make other people's observation Haki ineffective on him.

The two sound no different, and they are indeed the same to the opponent in a one-on-one fight, but the difference is in a group fight. One domineering Haki is used to scare away all the opponents, and they will lose their ability to see.

When both sides have this thing and use it in a similar way, there is no difference. But if you have it and the other side doesn't, then fighting will be as easy as playing a blind man.

While he was thinking, the two people fighting in the field took action again.

锔——!

The red-haired man first swung a huge crescent-shaped slash from the sky and flew down, then took another step in the air and swooped down following the slash with a technique similar to the moon step.

"Magnetic Agglomeration!!"

Kidd bent his five fingers and clenched them into a fist. The surrounding metal quickly gathered together, forming a seamless mechanical wall with a precise structure.

The red-haired man had a deep understanding of swordsmanship. This time, he also applied a strong magnetic force to the inside of the wall, so that each piece of embedded metal was tightly attached together to strengthen the defense.

But the next second.

锔——!

When the blow fell, the steel wall that was nearly half a meter thick and had a strong magnetic force inside was cut in two!

The vertical cuts from top to bottom were smooth and neat, and the defensive wall that separated to the sides quickly disintegrated and shattered into metal parts.

Such powerful domineering power can be precisely controlled and wrapped around a flying slash?

Kidd was stunned. This was the strongest defensive move he could perform, but the opponent had cut it off with just one blow.

Before he could react, the red-haired figure swooped down as the defensive barrier collapsed, and Griffin stabbed straight down!

Done!

Kidd was startled, the cold light of the blade reflected in his fixed pupils. He quickly turned sideways and stretched out his left hand, but he was still a step too late.

Poof——

The sharp blade pierced into the flesh and felt a dull touch. The red-haired man's knife pierced through Kidd's right shoulder, leaving a trail of blood on the ground from behind.

Just when everyone thought it was over, Kidd's left hand finally slapped the blade, he gritted his teeth and looked fierce, and the superimposed repulsive magnetic force pushed the blade outward!

Chi-

The sword was pulled horizontally, causing blood and flesh to splatter again, and a bloody gash was cut on Kidd's right shoulder.
