One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

Just then, Abel spoke up, asking Itadori Yuujin and Fushiguro Megumi, "Hey, I can't see this monster. I just slashed at it by feel. How did it go? Did it break through its defenses?"

"You can't see it???"

Yuuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro were both dumbfounded. "Then how did you counterattack?"

"It's all about feeling. My intuition tells me that something is standing in front of me. It was calm just now, but now it seems a bit angry... So it's been provoked by me, right?"

Feeling utterly shattered by his worldview, Fushiguro Megumi was speechless. Itadori Yuuji, however, was more resilient and quickly shouted, "You're right! That guy is standing right in front of you! You just severed his right arm with that strike! He's angry now and has raised his left hand... Oh no! Run!"

The enraged Superior-level cursed spirit raised its left hand to gather power, and terrifying cursed energy condensed in its hand before slamming it down on the head of the human before it.

"This is blatant malice, isn't it? Have they locked onto my head...?"

With the help of his Observation Haki, Abel wasn't completely in the dark.

boom!

The terrifyingly powerful beam of cursed energy instantly pierced through his body, creating a large hole in the wall.

However, Abel's figure, which remained in place, slowly disappeared.

Breath of Darkness, First Form: Shadow Strike!

puff!

Another arm shot into the sky.

The special-grade cursed spirit's little eyes began to show a look of confusion, probably because its CPU had overheated.

Abel was able to achieve this not only because of his Observation Haki and powerful mental strength, but also because of the cursed short sword sent by his enemy.

After signing the [Contract with the Demon of the Blade], his affinity with swords is now at its maximum. He can instantly master the characteristics of any sword in his hands and unleash its full power.

In other words, no one understands this cursed dagger in his hand better than him!

Furthermore, his Armament Haki was now able to coat his weapons, further enhancing their power.

This also ensures the strength of the cursed dagger, preventing it from being easily damaged.

But Yuujin Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro had no idea about any of this; they just thought he was incredibly fierce!

As an ordinary person who cannot even see the cursed spirits, he performed better and was more powerful than those who possessed cursed power.

What happened to this world?

They began to question the meaning of life.

However, there are precedents for this. For example, Fushiguro Megumi knew of a female senior who was born without any magical power or spells.

Because they cannot see cursed spirits, they usually wear glasses that allow them to see curses and use cursed tools in battle.

Looking at it this way, could this guy in front of me be the same type of freak as that senior?!

As the two of them struggled to their feet, the top-tier cursed spirit with both arms severed also went completely berserk.

It first used its magical power to restore its arm, then roared and began to unleash its full power!

The overwhelming magical power instantly pressed in from all directions, shattering the walls. Yuujin Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro should have shattered along with them.

But at this critical moment, a figure stood in front of them, taking the brunt of the damage.

"It's you?!"

"Why……"

When Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro saw who was blocking their way, they were speechless with shock.

They were the sorcerers who came here to save people, but they ended up being saved by the very people they were supposed to save. What kind of logic is that?

At first, they thought he was a bad guy of unknown origin.

But what shocked them even more was yet to come.

The person who physically withstood a powerful cursed attack from a top-tier cursed spirit only had his clothes burned, revealing his well-defined and muscular physique underneath.

That's something that can't be developed in a short time; it's absolutely perfect.

Keep in mind that the two of them were only hiding in the back and were not greatly affected, but their skin was torn in several places.

"Is this guy really human?"

The same thought simultaneously popped into the minds of Yuuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro.

"Hey, how long are you two planning to slack off? I have a plan, do you want to hear it?"

The two were indeed somewhat ashamed and nodded quickly.

"what's the plan?"

“I estimate that woman won’t last much longer. One of you can go and save her, and the other can temporarily act as my ‘eyes’.”

"By the way, Kugizaki must be in danger too!"

Then they asked, "What do you mean by acting as your eyes?"

"I can only vaguely sense the monster's presence right now, but I can't see what it's doing. This puts me at a disadvantage and puts me at a disadvantage in the fight, so I need someone to remind me."

"What do you want to do? That's a top-tier cursed spirit, not something an ordinary person like you can deal with. You were able to injure it before only because that top-tier cursed spirit was too careless. You'll hardly get such a good opportunity again."

Fushiguro Megumi was pouring cold water on him, but at the same time, she was trying to save him.

After all, their original mission was just to investigate and rescue people. Now that they have encountered an insurmountable super-grade cursed spirit, their first priority is to protect themselves and escape. There is absolutely no need for them to stay and fight to the death with the other party.

But Abel was different; he also came with a 'mission'!

"Not necessarily. If this dagger can wound it, then it can definitely kill it."

"If you don't have the guts to stay, then hurry up and run for your lives. I'm enough on my own."

Chapter 267 Just Ordinary Swordsmanship

"Fukuguro, you go save Kugizaki. I'll stay here and be this guy's 'eyes'."

"Whether he can destroy this top-tier cursed spirit or not, someone has to stay behind to buy time, otherwise no one will be able to escape."

Yuujin Itadori's thinking was simple: he possessed magical power but didn't know how to use it; its only use was being able to see the spirits of the curse.

However, Megumi Fushiguro has the ability and means to rescue Kugizaki, who has gone missing.

Furthermore, if the situation really develops to the most dangerous point, he can stay and lend his body to Ryoumen Sukuna to kill this special-grade cursed spirit.

This is already the most suitable allocation.

Megumi Fushiguro also wanted to stay, but was eventually persuaded to leave.

At a time like this, continuing to hesitate will only waste everyone's chance to survive.

The top-tier cursed spirit never glanced at Fukuro Megumi, who had escaped; its eyes were now only on Abel.

"It's coming!" Hisahito Itadori warned nervously.

Abel nodded slightly. The other party had just told him the general physical characteristics of that top-tier cursed spirit. Knowing these data such as height and wingspan, his attacks would only become more and more accurate.

The next moment, the special-grade cursed spirit seemed to have crossed space and arrived in front of the two.

Yuujin Itadori was about to speak, to fulfill his duty as a 'watchdog,' when he was horrified to find that he couldn't keep up with the movements of this special-grade cursed spirit at all.

Fortunately, from the beginning, Abel only regarded Yuuji Itadori as a support, and did not place all his hopes on him, relying mainly on himself.

So he retaliated with a swift slash.

Just hear a bang!

Abel, who was hit by the punch, was sent flying and crashed into the wall, while the right arm of the special-grade cursed spirit was cut in half vertically.

"Hey, are you alright? It was too fast, I didn't have time to warn you."

Yuji Itadori ran over and said hurriedly.

Abel, on the other hand, pried himself off the wall, dusted himself off, and surprisingly appeared to be unharmed.

“I know, so you just need to do your best. Of course, the most important thing is to keep an eye on it and not let it get away.”

Yuji Itadori gave a wry smile. Are you sure it's not us who want to run away?

Abel didn't bother with explanations; he preferred to prove himself through actions.

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his knife forward.

Asura Aurora Slash!

In an instant, an incomparably dazzling seven-colored aurora sword aura flew out from his body, and before Itadori Yuujin's shocked eyes, it cut the special-grade cursed spirit that was trying to tear apart the flying slash into four pieces!

"What kind of spell is this?! No, that last strike didn't have any magical energy flowing through it at all. How did they manage to do that?"

"It's like opening the door to a new world," Hisahito Itadori asked excitedly.

Abel maintained his usual aloofness, "Spellcasting? No, this is swordsmanship. Swordsmanship for ordinary people like us to use for self-defense."

"Swordsmanship? I don't believe it! What kind of swordsmanship could unleash something like a laser beam all at once?"

Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Right?

Yuujin Itadori was speechless. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true. Just like before, he had no idea that there were cursed spirits and sorcerers.

Now that there's an additional 'extraordinary swordsmanship', it doesn't seem so unacceptable.

"You're right. So, can you teach me this swordsmanship?"

"No, because your path is not on this one, and you are not an ordinary person."

Despite being mentally prepared, Hisahito Itadori still felt somewhat disappointed by such a straightforward rejection.

Then he suddenly froze, "That top-tier cursed spirit has vanished!"

So caught up in the shock and the desire to become an apprentice, I didn't even notice that I hadn't fulfilled my final duty as an 'eye'.

Fortunately, Abel never put all his eggs in one basket.

"Up there!"

He suddenly raised his head and could feel the killing intent and oppressive aura emanating from above.

Yuuji Itadori quickly looked up as well, and then saw that the special-grade cursed spirit had its mouth wide open, filled with terrifying cursed power...
