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

Crane pressed closer and closer, each move putting immense pressure on Hancock.

"What is politeness? I only know that a woman should be beautiful, and I am so beautiful that I will be forgiven no matter what I do."

Hancock simply raised her head and struck a pose.

The surrounding navy personnel all revealed their 'heart eyes' and were then petrified, looking like lecherous fools.

They died from an unknown area-of-effect attack.

"Your character is truly awful, Hancock. Let me cleanse your soul."

"Mind your own business, you old woman!"

The fight between the two women was so terrifying that no one dared to approach.

……

On the other side of the battlefield, the three naval admiral candidates and Shiryu and his two companions were also engaged in a fierce battle!

Abel gave the Clear-Clear Fruit to Shiryu, and this Devil Fruit truly gave Shiryu wings, greatly increasing his combat power.

And coincidentally, 'Momosasa' Gion is also a master of the knife.

The famous sword Kinpira possessed the power to split mountains and shatter rocks in his hands!

However, Shiryu's famous sword Raiyu is no less formidable.

Using the Clear-Clear Fruit to launch a sneak attack, Shiryu successfully left a wound on the left side of Momousagi Gion's abdomen and on her thigh.

However, the Clear-Clear Fruit's ability is limited to concealing one's physical form; it cannot conceal one's sound or smell.

Gion happens to have one particular skill: it is extremely sensitive to smells.

Because Shiryu frequently smoked cigars, he naturally developed a smell of nicotine and spices on his body.

Others might find it hard to tell, but she can.

And the closer you are, the more obvious it becomes.

Seizing on this, Gion decided to turn the tables and risked her own life to lure Shiryu into making the first move.

Shiryu fell for the trick, and as a result, Gion seized the opportunity to leave a deep and long wound on his body, almost disemboweling him.

"How did you find me?"

Shiryu asked, his expression somewhat grim.

Gion knew the other party wouldn't fall for it again, so she revealed the answer: "On the battlefield, invisibility is indeed a very useful ability. You can move without making any noise, but you can't hide the smell of cigars on your body."

"I see, I overlooked that. In return, I will try my best to give you a quick and painless experience."

With his invisibility ability broken, Shiryu simply stopped using it and fought Gion solely based on his swordsmanship and Haki.

He couldn't deal with the cigar smell for the time being.

In addition, he still smells strongly of blood.

If he only focuses on the first point, he will fall into the other party's trap.

Shiryu's attacks were very sharp, and Gion's defense was also watertight.

clang clang clang clang...

In the blink of an eye, their blades clashed dozens of times.

Just as Shiryu's "Thunderstorm" was once again blocked by Gion's "Konpira," Shiryu made a very unexpected move.

Suddenly, his tightly clenched left hand shot forward.

Gion instinctively stretched out her palm, ready to block this unremarkable punch.

However, an accident happened.

puff!

Gion let out a muffled groan as her palm was pierced, and blood gushed from her shoulder.

Seeing this, Shiryu finally revealed a triumphant smirk.

Looking at his left hand, which had been empty, he was now tightly gripping a black key, with the sharp blade wedged between his fingers.

Chapter 940 The Despicable One

While the Clear-Clear Fruit cannot eliminate smells and sounds, it can make the user, as well as any objects or people they come into contact with, transparent.

Just now, Shiryu secretly held the blade in his hand and then used his Devil Fruit ability to make it invisible.

Finally, they launched a surprise attack, causing Gion to suffer a great loss!

At this moment, Gion's left hand was pierced, and a bloody hole appeared in her shoulder as well.

Fortunately, she reacted in time; otherwise, it might have been her heart that was pierced in the end.

Shiryu is so insidious!

"mean!"

Gion, who had once again widened the distance between them, couldn't help but curse.

"Thank you for the compliment, it makes me extremely happy!"

Shiryu didn't seem to care at all; instead, he laughed even more heartily.

"Now it's riddle time. Question: In which hand am I holding my weapon?"

Shiryu discarded the black key blade, then made the famous sword "Thunderstorm" transparent, while pretending to pass it from his right hand to his left, and from his left hand to his right, switching back and forth.

Then, assuming a dual-wielding stance, he immediately charged towards Gion, whose expression was grave.

With his left hand, he slashed at Gion's neck, while with his right hand, he aimed a stabbing motion at Gion's kidneys.

Which attack was a feint?

In whose hands is the real weapon held?

Gion needs to make a choice immediately.

She took a deep breath and first took the initiative to meet the blade aimed at her neck.

A clang rang out!

It has a physical form, so could I have guessed correctly?

But then Gion immediately turned to the side, clenched her left fist, covered it with Armament Haki, and slammed it outward with force.

Another crisp sound came from the empty space!

Shiryu's upturned lips suddenly froze.

Then he was immediately kicked away by Gion!

"Cough...cough cough...how did you guess that I was holding weapons in both hands?"

After falling to the ground and getting up again, Shiryu vomited several mouthfuls of blood, but his face was still full of question marks.

He had thought it was all over.

"Don't you think it's a bit too contrived to deliberately throw away a weapon in front of me?"

"You're just trying to guide my thinking in this way, trying to trap me in the mindset that you only have a weapon in one hand."

"But you prepared two weapons from the very beginning, so no matter which side I guess, I will be wrong in the end."

"So my choice is to first cut off your right-hand attack, making myself invincible, and then at the same time block that left-hand blade that shouldn't exist..."

After hearing Gion's explanation, Shiryu's expression became complicated, and he coughed up blood several more times.

He suddenly had the illusion that this woman had seen right through him.

In reality, it's not that outrageous.

Gion simply used the result to deduce the entire process.

Her initial idea was not to gamble, and to block both attacks, whether real or fake.

As Tsuru has always treated her like a younger sister, Gion has received a lot of personal instruction from her.

One of these points is: don't easily trust the enemy!

Even if you see it with your own eyes, it could be what the enemy wants you to see.

Therefore, you must have your own judgment!

Gion always kept this in mind.

She even resorted to psychological warfare; the clearer and more detailed her explanations were, the greater the pressure Shiryu felt.

If one were to try the same trick again, one would undoubtedly hesitate and look back.

Even a moment's hesitation in battle can decide the outcome.

It can be said that Shiryu has already shown signs of defeat.

In comparison, the battle between Katakuri and 'Green Bull' Aramaki seems to be on a higher level, approaching the level of a Marine Admiral.

One is a special Paramecia-type Mochi Mochi Fruit user after awakening, and the other is a suspected Logia-type Mori Mori Fruit user.

The commotion from their fight was considerable.

Katakuri transformed the ground beneath his feet into a mochi ball and swarmed towards his opponent.

Huang Mu, on the other hand, simply transformed into a giant tree-man and took root underground.

While remaining unmoved, numerous tree roots will always spread out from the ground. Once pierced, they will immediately absorb all the nutrients and turn into a dried-up corpse.

Many unfortunate souls around him have already become his nourishment.

However, what makes Huangmu so powerful is the strong life force that the Sensen Fruit bestows upon him.

It can survive without eating or drinking by relying on photosynthesis.

Even if it is killed, as long as a new bud remains, it can be reborn.

You could say it's an unkillable cockroach.
