Chapter 27 Bazel VS Shiki! The Shadow of Eight Heads: Serpent Spirit Usurps the Throne!
Boom boom boom--!
A figure crashed through the bar wall and launched an attack on the golden light falling from the sky.
"Hahaha, Bazel, join my pirate crew!"
Shiki unleashed a flying slash, pushing the man aside, and spread his arms wide.
"As long as you have the power, I can conquer this world. Neither Roger nor the World Government are my match!!"
"Following that brat Kaido will get you nowhere. Only I can unleash your full power!"
"Don't dream, Shiki."
The palm strike dispersed the smoke and dust, and Bazel, now in his poisonous form, slowly walked towards the enemy.
"Who do you think I am?!"
The muscles of the right leg tense when stepping forward.
The next moment!
Bazel suddenly appeared in front of the Golden Lion.
His arms were shrouded in a purple, unclean, poisonous cloud.
It's time to settle the score from last time.
Poisonous Body - Poisonous Stream Critical Strike!
He punched the famous sword that Shiki used to block, and before the other party could swing his sword to counterattack, the poison cloud wrapped around his arms suddenly erupted!
"Tsk."
Shiki quickly retreated from the burst of poison gas, but his left arm was still contaminated with the gas.
"That's a really tricky ability."
He gripped the famous sword, Kumu, with his teeth, and with his right hand forming a sword shape with his fingers, he lightly sliced across his left arm.
Then the muscles bulged, squeezing out the blood infected with the venom.
"Then I'll show you what real power is."
"Lion's Might - Earth Strike!"
The ground bulged and rolled, and a second later, several mud lions, each larger than a house, suddenly rushed out.
The fully evolved Yamata no Orochi suddenly appeared, and Bazel controlled the snake's mouth to open.
First, he used poisonous flames and mist to block Shiki's movement, and then summoned the Phantom Serpent Spirit.
"Awaken, Shadow of Orochi."
The moment the murmur began, the Phantom Serpent Spirit, whose body was originally translucent, became even more transparent.
The serpent head of the spirit stared intently, and three of the ten phantom serpent spirits burrowed into the body of the attacking mud lion.
The Shadow of Orochi: Serpent Spirit Usurps the Throne!
Shiki, who was dodging flames and poisonous mist in the distance, suddenly changed his expression.
"Your Devil Fruit power can steal my control over the Earth Lion!?"
Orochi's Shadow: Serpent Spirit Usurpation - This is a new ability that Bazel discovered in the Cute Little Classroom.
When Bazel first developed the ability Orochi's Shadow, he realized that the ability was still in its infancy.
I originally thought that I could only explore this ability in depth after the fruit awakens.
Unexpectedly, after consuming the essence of lanternfish and attending several extracurricular tutoring classes, this ability took an unexpected step forward.
The Shadow of Orochi: The Serpent Spirit's Usurpation.
Simply put, Bazel can control awakened serpent spirits to burrow into the bodies of non-living targets.
Once he gets inside, Bazel can take control of the target.
This so-called non-living thing refers to objects such as soil and stones that show no signs of life.
The Yamata no Orochi slowly shrank, and Bazel, who had transformed back into his venomous form, raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
The pale purple, translucent earth lion suddenly turned around and roared loudly at its original owner.
"Hey, hey, that's not a funny joke, you jerk!!"
With lightning speed, he unleashed several sword strikes, slaying the traitorous earth lion. Three transparent threads flew back to Bazel at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
"Your Devil Fruit power is useless now, Shiki."
Bazel stepped back with his right foot, assuming a charging attack stance.
"What a joke! I'm Shiki the Golden Lion!"
Lion's Might - Earth Scroll!
The land turned into mud lions again, this time six of them.
"I'd like to see how much you can control!? Kill him!"
Bazel ignored the approaching earth lions, and the phantom serpent spirits circling around him flew out again.
The Serpent Spirit has usurped the throne!
"It's in!"
boom-!
The ground was crushed by a tremendous force, and the spiderweb-like cracks spread deeper into the 13th Tree Block.
"Fireflow Martial Body!"
hum~~
The toxins inside the scales quickly subsided, and as the soles of the feet touched the ground, flames exploded, and a powerful shockwave rose from the soles of the feet.
Bazel, who was already fast, now became a blur of light and shadow.
Flame Fist!
The powerful punch, propelled by incredible speed, broke through the defenses of the twin swords and struck Shiki squarely in the chest.
The pitch-black Armament Haki clashed, and Shiki, realizing that his Armament Haki was far superior to his enemy's, was about to make a few sarcastic remarks.
"Fly away, Shiki!!"
"Second Form - Roaring Sun!"
As Bazell's roars pierced the sky.
An explosive burst of flames suddenly erupted from behind the elbow, and the powerful propulsion doubled the force of the punch!
The sound of bones breaking rang out, Shiki's expression changed abruptly, and after coughing up a mouthful of blood, he was sent flying by a punch from Bazel.
After crashing through countless buildings, it flew towards the distant dock.
"That felt great!"
Bazel glanced at the tourists around him who had been poisoned by the battle, then transformed into Yamata no Orochi once more, its eight heads frantically absorbing the surrounding poisonous mist.
As for the toxins in the bodies of those who were poisoned, Bazeir didn't have time to help them remove the toxins one by one.
It's already an act of kindness to recycle the toxic smog from the environment.
hiccup~
"It tastes good. Hey, you guys, stop staring and get those people out of there. The battle isn't over yet!"
"Yes, yes, Lord Orochi!!!"
Some cowardly pirates dared not refuse, for they had already recognized who the two fighting sides were.
Orochi and the Golden Lion!
The former is a newly emerging supernova of the Beasts Pirates, while the latter is a veteran pirate who has dominated the seas for over a decade!
"What a terrifying guy! He's actually fighting that great pirate, Shiki, to a standstill!"
"It seems the seas are about to get lively again. With such a powerful member in the Beasts Pirates, they're destined to become a great pirate force!"
"Who says otherwise? We'll go ask them later if they're still accepting crew members. Joining the Beasts Pirates might be a good option!"
"..."
"Hehehehehe!!"
boom--!!
He unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, his domineering aura indiscriminately attacking the entire block.
"I really underestimated you, Bazel!"
"But that's what makes it interesting. I won't hold back from now on. Don't blame me if you die."
Shiki flew slowly towards them, and before he even got close, countless slashes came crashing down upon them.
"Lion Valley!"
"Only those who survive deserve to be called geniuses. Boy, if you have the talent, try your best to escape from my sword!"
"The Shadow of Yamata no Kage!"
The six earth lions controlled by the serpent spirit either stood in front of him or charged forward, all creating opportunities for Bazel to attack.
"useless!"
A flash of red light appeared in Shiki's eyes, and he suddenly slashed his sword behind him.
The blade clashed with the powerful, entwined arm.
He raised his foot and kicked straight at her.
He blocked the enemy's knee strike once again.
Twist your left wrist.
"I'm a master swordsman who wields two swords..."
--!!
A blade strikes!
With his pupils shrinking to pinpoints, Bazel stared at Shiki in disbelief.
That last strike was faster than my charge!
"My speed may not be as fast as yours, but my sword-wielding speed is definitely faster than yours."
"A poisonous snake."
The blood that broke off from the famous sword Sakura Jū seemed to have its own will, turning into blood arrows that shot towards Bazel.
"You think you can steal what I made? Well then, try stealing it again."
Shiki's eyes reflected countless toothpick-thick spurs of blood, and he chuckled mockingly:
"Let me see how much you can steal. Anyway, I can make as much of this stuff as I want."
Using his flying slash to clear a path, Shiki charged toward Bazel's landing spot once more.
Black lightning suddenly crackled around the blades of the two famous swords.
"Let me show you my sword, kid."
"Slash Wave!"
He planted his feet firmly in the ground, forcefully stopping his retreat.
Bazel controlled six Phantom Serpent Spirits to burrow into the ground.
He then squatted down and slammed his palms against the ground.
"Awaken, Earth!!"
The massive boulder arched up, blocking the path of the flying slashes and blood arrows imbued with Conqueror's Haki.
The boulder was easily cut in half!
But Bazeir disappeared from sight after that.
Rumble---
Thunder suddenly roared in the sky.
"It really is like the heavens are on your side, Shiki."
The blood spurting from the wound on his chest was rapidly decreasing, as the powerful life force granted by the mythical beast species was quickly repairing the wound.
Bazel stood atop the raised earth, looking up at the sky.
"What, are you trying to admit defeat?"
"Admit defeat? How could I possibly admit defeat so easily..."
Bazel grabbed the remaining four snake spirits with his right hand and suddenly hurled them into the sky.
"Awaken, Thunder!"
"This is……!?"
Shiki's previously confident and playful expression suddenly froze, and beads of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
"Hey, this isn't fun anymore!"
roar--!!
The giant lightning snake burst out of the clouds and flew overhead, looking down at the enemy alongside its master.
"Shiki, let's begin round two."
"Earth Dragon, Thunder Serpent, kill him."
