One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 697 The War Begins (Part )
"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!"

The swords kept clashing, and for a moment it was difficult to determine the winner.

"What a tough guy! He's not even a top-tier figure under the Four Emperors. I didn't expect him to have such strength! It's unbelievable."

Ghost Spider took two steps back, putting some distance between himself and A-Zu, adjusting his breathing while whispering that Ghost Spider's Eight Swords tactics were a huge headache for many people. After all, Ghost Spider's Eight Swords could attack from all directions. No one knew how this guy managed to keep his hair from getting tangled, but six hair knives without any bones to hinder them were indeed torturous enough, especially when he went around behind his opponent to attack, which made many of Ghost Spider's enemies hard to defend against.

However, these moves were not effective when facing A-Zu. The biggest reason was that A-Zu, as a member of the Long-Armed Tribe, had a pair of magical arms. His arms had one more joint than normal people's, which allowed A-Zu to reach any position behind him without any hindrance. Moreover, after so many years of Lily's teaching, A-Zu was definitely very good at defense, not to mention swordsmanship.

Ghost Spider launched a fierce attack, but was completely defended by A-Zu. Ghost Spider consumed a lot of physical strength, but in the end got nothing.

"Hehe, you've been fighting for such a long time, now it's my turn to take action, right? Come on! Take my move! Wahh ...

During this time, A-Zu had figured out Ghost Spider's routine, and suddenly a sense of self-confidence emerged from within. He rushed forward while shouting in an operatic voice, changing from passive defense to active offense.

"This guy is getting cocky again."

Luke, who received the order to come for support, was hiding in a tree and watching A-Zu fighting from afar with a telescope. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "A-Zu is okay in other aspects, but he likes to laugh at others and open champagne at halftime during a battle. This is really a headache."

"I have a feeling you might have to go down and rescue Azusan again soon."

Next to Luke, Kikunojo sat on a shorter branch and said, as usual, wherever Luke was, Kikunojo could usually be found next to him. The two were almost inseparable, but they still claimed to be just friends and that being together was just a coincidence. As for whether everyone believed it or not, those who understood would understand.

"Isn't it? I always have a headache because of this guy, huh? Wait, something seems to be wrong. You stay here and watch while I go downstairs!"

Luke looked in a certain direction and felt something was wrong. He immediately rushed out and was more than ten meters away in a flash. He did not hold back at all and directly activated the ability of the fruit, transforming into a giant sloth. The claws on his claws, which were like steel knives, stabbed into the ground.

"Swish! Sizzle!"

Accompanied by the sound of clothes being torn, a dark figure rushed out from the beach, rolled on the ground in a somewhat embarrassed manner, stood up and said.

"How did you find me?"

The guy who crawled out of the sand covered his injured left arm and looked at Luke and said.

"Ha! It's a navy? I thought it was a CP0 guy. I didn't expect you navy guys would use such sneaky tricks. As for how I found you? Guess it yourself."

Luke shook off the scraps of cloth and blood on his hands. This guy ran quite fast, and based on the feel just now, this inconspicuous guy seemed to be a person with special abilities.

"Damn pirate!"

The marine cursed in a low voice, but he also knew that he was no match for Luke. After all, he knew the opponent's identity as the Twelve Hours. They were both Twelve Hours, but he was evenly matched with the vice admiral without using the power of the devil fruit. As a brigadier general, he might not be able to compete with Luke with the power of the devil fruit.

"What's wrong? What are you doing here? Are you waiting for me to show mercy and let you go?"

Luke approached the Commodore step by step. According to his feeling just now, the guy opposite him was either a natural type or a very special superhuman type. That slippery feeling was definitely not something that an animal type could achieve. It was not like the slipperiness of having mucus on the body, but it was similar to the feeling of liquid passing through the fingertips, but slightly different, more sticky, a bit like the feeling of non-Newtonian fluid, but not as powerful. "Damn it! Gummy! Flowing spikes!!!"

The Commodore rushed towards Luke, his body began to become erratic, as if melting, and as he jumped, he turned into a sticky, slime-like substance and flew towards Luke. At the same time, various spikes formed on the surface of his body, which looked very powerful.

"Gummy candy? The aunts will definitely like this fruit. It's a pity that this is a battlefield and I didn't bring Squeak with me this time. It wouldn't be appropriate to tie you back. So let's just leave it at that."

Luke looked at the guy rushing towards him and yawned out of boredom. Although he looked aggressive, this guy was completely insufficient for Luke except for the impressive fruit ability. Luke yawned and turned back into human form. He ignored the existence of the Commodore and turned around and left.

"How dare this guy ignore me!"

Although he knew that Luke was very strong, the commodore was still very arrogant. He, Gaspard, became a commodore at a young age! He might become an admiral in the future! Even if he was not strong enough now! But it was not a reason for this pirate to despise him! Suddenly, Gaspard rushed a little faster, and a spike was about to approach the back of Luke's head. At this moment.

"bass!"

A flash of white light passed by, and Gaspard felt that everything around him seemed to have changed, as if, it seemed, the world was split into two halves.

"Next time this happens, I won't come down."

Kikunosuke put Hanayagi back to his waist, and poor Gaspard never dreamed that he just wanted to launch a sneak attack, help Spider Demon, and get some benefits by becoming familiar with him, but he didn't expect to meet two strong men in succession. He could only hold on to his dream of becoming an admiral, and it ended in gloom. However, compared to defecting from the navy, becoming a pirate, and dying in infamy in the original time, it is actually a good ending, isn't it?

Gaspardi also became the first general to die in this war. Although his rank of brigadier general was not high enough, a brigadier general is still a general. Don't take bean buns as dry food. However, Kikunosuke had no idea what he had done. He just turned around and scolded Luke.

"The main thing is that this guy is too boring. He doesn't even know how to use Haki, and he asked me how I found him. It's useless to just ignore him. A single shot of seastone dust cannon will suffocate this guy to death in the dirt."

Luke shrugged and said with complete nonchalance.

"Just now you said that Azu-san is arrogant, aren't you the same?"

Kikunosuke slapped her forehead helplessly. After such a long time, she finally got to know Luke. Although he looked lazy and seemed to care about nothing, he actually liked to show off.

"Ha, I'm not like that guy A-Zu. At least I don't fight a battle I'm not sure of, like the one in front of me."

Luke's voice suddenly changed. He protected Kikunojo behind him, looked at the place not far ahead, transformed into a giant sloth again, raised his hand and struck out with a claw.

"Point gun!"

"Chop!"

"Bang!" The attacks from both sides collided with each other, making a loud noise. At this time, a guy who looked like a Dalmatian appeared opposite Luke, Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters - Dalmesia.
