Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 45 Accident
The aftermath of the explosion echoed in the venue. The two men stopped moving for a moment, as if they had returned to a state of confrontation.

After a few minutes, Jin's disordered breathing gradually calmed down and his hunched body straightened up again.

"Oh? Did you have a good rest?"

Seeing the other party regain his footing, Ou Bei praised him, "Excellent physical fitness! The force of my attack just now was no joke. You can recover so quickly."

"I've really impressed you, the masked man."

"Indeed, the attack just now was quite good. I haven't been so embarrassed in a long time. If it were a real fight, you would have won by now."

Jin also acknowledged the damage caused by Oubey's series of attacks. If the opponent took advantage of the victory or launched another domineering bomb, he would really be unable to resist the attack.

"Enough with the boring compliments. It's time to show some real skills."

Ou Bei still had his arms around his chest, looking very relaxed.

She knew that Jin was also a so-called "ability user", and he hadn't transformed or used any abilities yet.

"Indeed, it's difficult to defeat you in my current state." Jin sheathed the knife and hung it back on his waist.

"Then, look carefully at the form of a so-called Animal-type Devil Fruit user!"

The air suddenly stagnated, and Ou Bei's pupils suddenly contracted at the sight before him.

The crisp sounds of bones being dislocated rang out one after another, and Jin's facial bones made fine crisp sounds. His cheekbones bulged to form streamlined bone armor, and his lips and teeth extended into a half-meter-long hooked beak.

Then she saw the other party's shoulder blade bulge strangely, and the dark wing membrane spread rapidly, turning into a wing blade with a metallic luster in an instant.

When the giant wings with a wingspan of seven meters were fully extended, a small whirlwind was stirred up in the venue.

Animal series - Ancient species - Pteranodon form!
Even though he has seen Kaido's transformation process many times, Oubey is still amazed at the transformation of these animal-type ability users.

A humanoid creature was transformed into a beast right before his eyes, with all its muscles and bones completely changed. For Oubei, whose thinking was more inclined towards science, this always felt like common sense was being overturned.

"Then let's start round two!"

"Boom~"

There was a sudden sound of breaking air, and Jhin flew into the air again.

The difference from before was that this time his speed had increased by leaps and bounds, surpassing the dynamic vision of ordinary people, like a black bomber cruising in the sky.

Jhin has obviously found a way to deal with the stone bombs. As long as I'm fast enough, he can't hit me.

Oubei was helpless in finding a solution that only speed could solve the problem.

"Speed ​​increased by 216%, and maneuverability is even better—"

"Two Emperors in the Blade!"

The tactical analysis was forcibly interrupted by the cold light in the sky.

Jhin obviously didn't intend to give Ober time to continue thinking. Countless slashes came out from his dark wings, forcing Ober below to raise his arms to block.

"Emperor Dan Gong!"

Without any pause, Jhin's next attack came towards him.

The pterosaur's massive body plummeted, defying the laws of physics, its right wing transforming into an elusive arc of slashing light.

The moment the blade touched his arm, the rock beneath Obery's feet collapsed.

"Ping!"

Amidst the harsh sound of metallic collision, the blue figure shot out like a cannonball, plowing a furrow dozens of meters long in the ground before barely stopping its retreat.

Looking at his arm, there was already a faint red mark where it had just been cut, which gave Ouba a clear understanding of the power of Jhin's attack.

That was a blow powerful enough to split mountains and crack rocks.

"Both your attack and speed have increased by more than one level. This is probably not just the increase brought by the transformation, right? Where's your flame?"

Looking away from his arm, Ouba noticed that the flames behind Jin disappeared after he transformed.

"This is a characteristic of our clan. By concentrating the flames within our bodies, we sacrifice defense in exchange for speed and explosive power."

Jin had no intention of hiding anything and directly told the other party about his racial talent.

"I see. Cast off... It's a tricky form indeed."

Although he knew that the opponent's defense was reduced, without using his power, Ou Bei could not think of any good countermeasures for a while, and the initiative was still in the hands of the opponent.

As for Jhin, although he had taken the initiative in the attack, he was also unable to do anything to Obery at the moment.

Ordinary attacks had no effect on Oubre, and even his own Dan Gong Huang had little effect.

But if you try to use a high-powered charged attack, the opponent will definitely find a flaw and blow you up directly like just now.

Jhin, who is in the state of flame convergence, will definitely not be able to withstand another domineering bomb.

[In any case, we can't give her time to think of a countermeasure.]
"Two Emperors in the Blade!"

Countless slashes came again, and Ouba had to keep dodging.

Although he could easily stand still and take all the attacks with his Armament Haki, Oubey still chose to dodge.

After all, she is not Ossi and has no habit of being an iron-headed child.

[Calculating the time, the next heavy attack is coming soon...] Based on the time of Jhin's last attack, Ober silently calculated the next attack.

[5, 4, 3…coming!]
As expected, just as Oubey finished speaking, the two emperors' slashing attacks in the blades above his head suddenly stopped.

Ouba immediately looked up and observed Jin in the sky.

At this moment, Jin was facing away from the sun, as if he was planning to use the sun's rays to catch Obery off guard, but Obery's body functions were obviously beyond his imagination.

The vision was not disturbed at all by the sun, and every move of Jhin was clearly visible in the eyes of Ober below.

"Whoo~"

With his right hand clenched, amazing strength was secretly accumulating. Ober stared closely at every move in the sky, intending to give Jhin a surprise the moment he approached.

[At least give me a discount on those wings!]
Once the air superiority is lost, the opponent will no longer be a match for Oubei.

Just as Oubey on the ground was concentrating, Jin's attack had already begun, but this time it was not the expected "Dan Gong Huang" like last time, but...

[Huh? What the hell?]
To Ober's surprise, he saw Jin in the sky grabbing his crown with his hands and pulling it back hard until the distorted pterosaur face was stretched into a funny cone shape.

"Pfft!"

Jhin's distorted expression at this moment made Ou Bei, who had been staring at him, stunned for a moment. Then, an uncontrollable smile rushed from the bottom of her heart to her face, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but start to rise!
"Damn it! Pfft~ Haha~ Actually, there's a mental attack, so despicable! Hahaha~"

"No, you can't laugh! You can't laugh anymore! Hahahahahaha~"

Oubey could no longer maintain his posture of gathering strength, and he was almost limp with laughter.

The rhythm of the life-and-death game suddenly experienced a fatal break.

Just when Obery's momentum was about to collapse, Jhin's attack came right in front of him!
"Diao Zhenghuang!"

Jhin's head stretched out like a slingshot, and his supersonic headbutt broke through the sound barrier and hit the body with the middle door wide open.

"Woo!"

Ober, who was almost completely unprepared, was hit directly by this attack and was pushed hard into the ground. The smoke and dust stirred up then covered the small figure deep in the pit.

… “Is it over?”

"That should be... That brat took a hit from Brother Jin's Mink Self-Respect Emperor. He probably can't stand up anymore."

"Brother Jin's Mink Self-Respect Emperor is truly formidable. Is this the power of the ancient species?"

"What a huge pit! Is that kid going to die?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Didn't you see that Boss Kaido and that Radu looked calm? That brat must be fine."

"That's good. Even though that blue-haired little thing made me lose a lot of money gambling, I still like her quite a bit."

……

After a successful attack, Jin returned to human form and fell to the ground, and the fire behind him was reignited.

This time he hit the opponent solidly, and the soft touch from the tip of the beak made him sure that the opponent had no time to defend himself.

"I didn't expect the blue-haired brat would be disturbed by Jhin. Is it because of the sun? No, that's not right. What's so funny about the sun?"

Burfat found it difficult to understand why Ober suddenly laughed.

"Boss Kaido?"

"Maybe it's because of Jhin's face. That kid seemed to suddenly find something funny about Jhin's face?"

Kaido could see clearly why Ouba was laughing, but he couldn't understand it, so he was not sure.

To be honest, in the eyes of these rough guys in the Beasts Pirates, there is nothing wrong with King's move, Diao Zizunhuang. It is fast and powerful, and it is a very strong move.

Moreover, Jin had explained to them before that this was actually a special hunting method of ancient Pteranodon, and the others thought it made sense.

After all, no one has ever actually seen how those long-extinct pterosaurs hunted.

As for the facial deformation? It doesn't matter at all! No one in the Beasts Pirates would pay attention to such trivial matters.

"Snapped!"

Just as Jhin was thinking about whether to go forward to check, a small hand grabbed the edge of the pit, and then a figure flipped out and landed on the ground.

"Cough~cough!"

After clearing the dirt from his mouth, Ober turned his gaze back to Jhin.

……

"Pfft~"

Well, he couldn't help it. Oubey had no choice but to look away again.

"What's wrong with you? Is there anything funny?" Jin, who had already taken a stance, asked with some confusion when he saw Ober's look.

"No, nothing...Puchi~"

"No, don't talk anymore, I'm begging you." Ou Bei suddenly turned his back, his shoulders shaking violently.

[This is over. Forget watching it. Even hearing his voice brings back memories! Damn it, why would this usually serious guy develop such a ridiculous move?!]
"This... this battle is won by you. Let's end it here today... Puchi~ Haha~"

Looking a little embarrassed, Ou Bei quickly covered her mouth and ran out of the field. At this moment, she couldn't even clench her fists, let alone fight.

The laughter that kept flowing from the bottom of her heart made her body feel a little weak and she had no strength at all.

……

The sudden declaration of surrender caught everyone by surprise. The small blue figure staggered out of the center of the clearing, leaving behind a confused Jhin and the confused pirates watching.

"Why did the blue-haired kid suddenly admit defeat?!"

"Strange, he doesn't look injured at all."

"She seems to be holding back something. Maybe she has some internal injuries?"

"Yes! She just ran away with her hands covering her mouth. She must have been unable to hold back her vomiting of blood!"

"Don't you want to show your weakness in front of others? Humph! What an amazing brat!"

"She's a real man, I agree with her!"

"Brother Jin! Brother Jin! Brother Jin..."
More pirates shouted King Jin's name, celebrating his victory, which was also the victory of the veterans in the group.

……

"Take a deep breath. Okay~~Yeah, right~relax and don't think about it."

At the edge of the training ground, La was gently patting Ouba's back to help her adjust her condition.

When Oubey ran up to her, he was already laughing so hard that he was out of breath and couldn't even speak. Lazhi had to use his divine power to help her breathe smoothly, and then slowly comfort her.

"You're such a wimp, Ouba. You actually gave in just because you couldn't stop laughing at your opponent's face."

Ossi had woken up by now and was standing nearby with a glass of water.

"You didn't see the masked man's face at that time, huh~ I can't take it anymore, I remembered it again, hahaha~"

"It actually ruined your poker face. I'm now curious about what level of facial expression that is."

Ossi said as he handed the water to Ouba. "Would you like to try it when you have a chance?"

"Don't go! Otherwise, you'll be like me and never be able to look that guy in the face again."

Ou Bei sincerely didn't want Ao Xi to fall into the abyss of facial expressions this time. If she laughed herself to death, her elder sister would be distracted from taking care of her...

A few minutes later——

"I'm fine now, big sister."

After taking a few deep breaths, Ouba finally returned to his normal state, then lowered his head in shame.

"I'm sorry I didn't win this time."

Although there were various reasons, Ou Bei still felt that he was unworthy of La's patient teaching over the past few days after losing two games in a row.

"It doesn't matter. Winning or losing is not important. As long as you can gain some insights and learn something from this battle, that's all that matters.

And you guys don't have any powers either, do you? I believe your true strength must be above theirs."

La didn't care whether the two won or lost. Rather, she was very satisfied to see the progress of the two on the court this time.

"Of course! If I use all my strength, I can beat both of those guys down with one hand." Osi put his hands on his hips and raised his proud little nose again.

"Beware of arrogance and impetuosity."

La gently patted the other person's head, which was almost tilted up to the sky, and then suddenly brought up the issue that the two of them had tacitly avoided.

"By the way, the homework is due in two days. How are you guys preparing?"

"..."

[Wash the motor!]
The expressions on the two little ones' faces suddenly froze! Then they both forced a smile.

“Um…almost, almost there~ha~haha~”×2
This is a lie. These two people actually still have no clue.

La did not expose the two people, but said with a smile: "Then I wish you a happy voyage in advance~"

“Thank you, thank you Sister La… Ha, haha…” ×2
