One Piece: Starting with Breathing Techniques

Hearing the screams echoing around him, Capone Bege gritted his teeth, stretched out his right hand, and slowly opened a gash in his palm.

Several miniature cannons slowly emerged from it.

However, he was sweating profusely, his eyes darting around, trying to spot Kilo in the chaotic crowd.

With the added effect of "Extreme Speed," Kilo's current physique makes it impossible for Capone Bege to catch a glimpse of him.

He could only determine Kilo's approximate location by looking at his fallen men.

They had powerful artillery fire, but nowhere to use it, and they didn't even know where the enemy was!

"hateful!"

"Why would that Gotti guy target a monster like that?"

The next instant, a gentle breeze brushed past his face, and Capone Becky felt a blur before his eyes.

Kiro's figure had appeared in the open space in front of them without them noticing.

Behind him, none of the bandits were able to stand; they all lay on the ground, groaning in pain.

Without saying a word, Becky immediately aimed the cannon in his hand at Kilo.

Bang!

Several miniature shells shot out, and after passing through a semi-transparent red barrier, they returned to their normal size and flew towards Kilo.

However, Kiro's figure only blurred for a moment before he appeared in another open space, easily dodging the shells.

boom!

The shells exploded not far away, kicking up clouds of dust.

Seeing that his attack was ineffective, Becky's expression grew increasingly grim, and his mind raced.

The strength of the person in front of you is definitely not to be underestimated!

Theoretically, he shouldn't have no recollection of it.

Bege thought to himself that he remembered all the famous strongmen in the West Blue, and he even recognized many of the great pirates on the Grand Line.

But he had absolutely no recollection of this face!

Considering the formidable strength Kiro had just demonstrated, his decisiveness and ruthlessness as a gang leader led him to make a decision without hesitation.

Capone Becky took a deep breath, raised his jeweled hands, and pressed down with his index and ring fingers, making a strange gesture.

The cigar had somehow reappeared in Capone Bege's mouth, the smoke rising and highlighting his serious gaze.

"Castle - Full Size!"

Click, click!

Starting with his face, Capone Bege's body petrifies, gradually transforming into a angular, humanoid stone sculpture.

Boom!

The ground beneath his feet trembled, and Kilo frowned, feeling as if a shadow had suddenly enveloped his vision.

After Capone Bege's body was completely petrified, it rapidly expanded into a massive castle that blotted out the sky within just a few seconds.

The castle was tens of meters tall, with many open openings all around, similar to the situation when Capone Bege released his men, but it was more comprehensive and more powerful.

Thick smoke billowed from the base of the giant castle.

Kilo looked up at the castle that occupied most of his field of vision and clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Is this the complete form of the Paramecia-type Castle-Castle Fruit?"

"interesting!"

As a red light shone from the eye at the top of the castle, the entire castle began to move with a rumble, as if it had transformed into a real, living thing.

"Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've shown this form..."

"Its name is... the Big Boss!!!"

Countless gun barrels and cannon fire erupted from within, clearly indicating that a large number of his followers were still hidden in the castle within his body!

Moreover, in terms of quantity, the scale far exceeds the scale of the previous scene at the dock!

Looking at the countless black gun barrels in front of him, Kiro felt a headache coming on.

"This distance... and there are so many of them."

"It seems like it's going to be difficult to avoid this."

Upon hearing this, Capone Bege, who had already turned into a castle, let out a deafening laugh.

"Of course!"

"I'll make you pay with your life as a sacrifice for Gotti!!"

"Fire!"

Before the words were even finished, countless tongues of fire erupted from the gun barrels and cannons, the dense barrage of bullets creating a piercing whistling sound as they streaked through the air.

In just a moment, the area where Kilo was located was covered by terrifying saturation artillery fire!

boom!

The hard ground was bombarded and cratered in an instant. Under the almost frenzied barrage of fire, the ground even gradually collapsed, blasted into a huge crater by countless bullets and artillery fire.

With bullets flying everywhere, the Kilo's original location was obscured by the dazzling tracer trajectories and smoke.

The intense smell of gunpowder filled every corner of the air, and the dry smoke made one's throat tighten.

The bombardment lasted for more than ten seconds before gradually stopping. A small mountain of shell casings had even been piled up beneath the massive castle.

"Is he...dead?"

One man released the trigger, flexing his aching fingers, his gaze uneasy as he stared at the ground battered by countless artillery shells.

"Under this kind of offensive, it's impossible for anyone to survive, right?"

"Wait, look at the middle of that pit!!!"

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, they were horrified to discover that in the center of the huge crater created by the artillery fire, the ground was completely intact and had not collapsed at all.

"What?!"

"Could it be...?!"

As the thick smoke dissipated, Kiro's figure was revealed. Apart from his clothes being covered in gunpowder and dust, he was completely unharmed!

The sharp Dragon Slayer sword pointed diagonally at the ground, its blade turning snow-white again, and its sharp edge humming softly.

Behind it, countless cleaved shells piled up into a small mountain, revealing a horrifying truth...

The gangsters inside the castle were stunned by the scene, so much so that they forgot to fire their guns, their minds completely blank.

"He...he cleaved the shell in two?!"

"Are you kidding me?!"

Some people, with their extensive experience, swallowed hard as they looked at the smoothly cut metal surface.

"It can cut through metal and react to so many shells..."

"This guy... is a swordsman!!!"

An uproar erupted within the castle, and even Capone Bege, who had transformed into the castle, was greatly shaken.

He knew all too well what a true swordsman meant!

Kilo shook his slightly numb right arm, straightened up, and looked at the gigantic castle, his eyes narrowing.

"I don't have the habit of passively taking a beating..."

The Dragon Slayer was once again enveloped in blazing light, and the blade gradually glowed with a scarlet flame.

Swish!

The sharp blade flashed through the air at lightning speed, bringing with it two huge, intersecting, crimson sword energies.

The sword energy hurtled toward the very center of the enormous castle, leaving several afterimages in the air, and distorting the air in its path as it scorched.

In the blink of an eye, the sword energy that pierced through the air reached the castle, easily slicing through the massive castle's hard exterior.

Becky groaned as two huge, gruesome wounds suddenly appeared in the center of his chest.

In addition, a burning sensation was felt on the wound, and the pain made Becky gasp.

In just one exchange, even in his strongest form, he was injured so badly by Kiro's sword energy?!

After being hit, Becky could no longer maintain her castle form and slowly shrank back to her normal form.

On his chest, there was a shocking X-shaped knife wound.

The intense pain made Becky's vision go black for a moment, and he almost fell to the ground.

The next moment, his vision blurred.

Kiro's figure appeared in front of him in an instant, the long sword gleaming with cold light slicing through the smoke-filled air and stopping right next to Becky's neck.

"Capone Becky, leader of one of the largest mafia groups in the West Blue."

"Tell me, what reason do I have not to kill you?"

The roles of offense and defense had shifted. Kiro, positioned high above, fixed his dark eyes, which held an undisguised murderous intent and gleamed with a faint red light, on Capone Becky.
