One Piece: New Century Hextech Warriors

Tina quickly raised her arms to protect herself. The powerful shockwave pushed her back more than ten meters. Bricks and stones flying everywhere left several bright red cuts on her body.

But it was just a minor injury, and Tina quickly looked up to check on Sith's condition.

Upon seeing the scene before her, she gaped in astonishment.

Tina had assumed that Sith was blown to pieces, but it turned out that the most serious damage to his body was his naval uniform, and he didn't have many other wounds.

"Ha! Not bad, brat!"

Gan Sui's smile faded somewhat, and he looked at Sith with great interest.

He just saw Sith stand in front of the mud ball bomb, throw a punch and knock it away, but instead of being killed, he was not seriously injured.

Although his strength is far inferior to that during the battle of God Valley, the bombs he throws are still much stronger than cannonballs. This kid's physique is extraordinary, and combined with his height which is greater than that of ordinary people, he might have giant blood!

"Uncle, let's skip the warm-up. If you want to beat me, you'll have to show your true skills."

With a ripping sound, Sith ripped off his shredded naval uniform, revealing his classically sculpted body.

He wasn't just recklessly standing in front of Tina; the [Tank Engine] greatly increased his health. Since he didn't have a stat panel, the obvious result was that he was much more durable, with physical strength comparable to Armament Haki.

If Sith continues to improve like this, it won't be a problem for him to rival the "steel balloon" that is now a giant!

Unfortunately, the LV1 tank engine requires defeating enemies of similar strength to improve its physique, and each enemy can only provide one reward. Otherwise, if Sith went to the kindergarten and retirement home to grind a few waves, he would soon surpass the admiral.

Tina stared at Sith's body with a complicated expression, realizing that this brat had never shown his true strength before.

She composed herself, stood beside Sith, and spoke:

"Siss, quickly evacuate the civilians and call for reinforcements! Tina, hold this guy off!"

Who knew Sith would laugh:

"No, if anything happens to Colonel Tina, Colonel Smoker will probably come after me."

Tina clenched her fist, and a "well" shape appeared on her forehead.

That brat's words are really asking for a beating!

But she couldn't refute it; this pirate with the ability to use bombs was incredibly powerful, far beyond what a colonel like herself could handle. On the contrary, Sith's strong body could withstand a wave of attacks.

Sith stopped joking with her and said seriously:

"Don't worry, even if I can't beat him, it will be very difficult for him to kill me."

"So I'm holding him off here, you go and call for backup!"

Tina gritted her teeth, hesitated for a second, and then nodded:

"good!"

She wasn't an indecisive person; the situation was critical, and she had to make a decision immediately, or they would all die here.

"You saved me just now, so even if you're going to die, you'll have to wait until I treat you to a meal!"

She gave Sith a harsh instruction and strode towards the command post.

Gan Sui had no interest in pursuing her and extended his thick index finger at Sith.

"Hey, come join me! If we join forces, we can definitely dominate the East Sea, no, dominating the four seas is a piece of cake!"

Gan Sui laughed triumphantly. He valued Sith's abilities highly and didn't think Sith had any reason to refuse.

"Gan Sui, you look terrible."

Sith stretched his neck, and his cervical bones made a cracking sound.

"Back then, a high-ranking officer of the Rocks Pirates actually came to this remote and impoverished place to rob people. His greatest ambition was simply to dominate the four seas."

"You've fallen as lowly as Shiki!"

Gan Sui was taken aback, his smile seemed to be forcibly wiped away, and anger immediately covered his features.

He never expected that the young navy man would recognize him, let alone that the man would have the audacity to mock him.

"Don't compare me to that idiot Shiki!"

He took a deep breath, his chest bulging, his mouth as if it held a cannonball, and the sand around him trembled slightly in the turbulence of the airflow.

"Bad breath bomb!"

hum-

Gan Sui opened his mouth and spat out a powerful breath, which transformed into an invisible bomb wave that caused violent explosions wherever it passed. Smoke and flames snaked forward like a giant snake and instantly rushed towards Sith.

Sith neither dodged nor evaded, instantly unleashing [Blunt Strike Power].

"Ripple Fist!"

This is a fist technique he developed based on the Ripple Breathing Method. It allows him to mobilize the energy in his body by controlling his breathing, and then combine it with the 15% increase in strength from the [Blunt Strike Power] to unleash a punch comparable to a heavy cannon.

The shockwave from the powerful punch surged like a tsunami, tearing through the ground. The air bomb exploded upon hitting this invisible barrier, sending out a circular shockwave that swept up the pirates who hadn't had time to escape.

Gan Sui's expression turned serious. This kid was not only physically strong, but also much stronger than he had imagined.

At this moment, Gan Sui's next wave of attacks arrived.

"Go to hell!"

A fist the size of a clay pot was about to smash into Sith's head when Sith suddenly turned into a paper doll and lightly dodged it.

"Six Styles: Paper Drawing"

He had just dodged Gan Sui's attack when he saw Gan Sui reveal a triumphant smile.

"Bomb Punch!"

He raised his fist again, and the ordinary fist produced a huge explosion, blasting Sith several meters away.

Users of the Bomb-Bomb Fruit can turn any part of their body into a bomb; even their exhaled air can explode, so naturally, their fists can too.

He deliberately missed with his first punch just now, just to make Sith lower his guard.

"As expected of Rocks' crew."

Sith got up, dusted himself off, and sighed.

Gan Sui was considered the weakest member of the Rocks Pirates, and his strength has declined considerably over the years, but his combat power is still quite considerable.

Of course, Sith didn't intend to just take the beating.

"You've warmed up enough. I thought you'd develop your Bomb Fruit better, like turning objects into bombs by touching them or something. But you still have to use your own body to activate it. How boring."

Sith touched his chest; the explosive punch that could have made someone ecstatic had only left a shallow scar on his skin.

"You brat, what are you talking about to yourself?"

Gan Sui was very unhappy; the Bomb Fruit didn't have that kind of power.

And judging from what this young navy kid is saying, it seems he hasn't used his full strength yet?

They really don't respect someone with his seniority!

Just as Gan Sui was about to continue his attack, he saw that Sith had already used the Shave Step to teleport in front of him.

"Storm Kick"

The long, slender legs were raised high, then slashed down with a whoosh, creating a shockwave that flew towards the enemy.

"There's no need to use such a boring trick as the Six Styles."

Gan Sui uttered a sarcastic remark, his body already covered in Armament Haki.

boom!

The slash wave from the Storm Kick hit Gan and exploded violently. Although the Bomb Fruit made him immune to explosions, the flames that rose up at the same time still burned him and made him scream.

Gan Sui was shocked. How could the Tempest Kick have the ability to explode and burn? Could this kid also be a Devil Fruit user?!

Looking at Gan Sui engulfed in flames, Sith shook his head:

"Even dogs wouldn't eat the Flame-Flame Fruit."

He just replaced the [Professional Killer] in the slot with [Purgatory Dragon Soul].

While the Tempest Kick itself doesn't have the ability to explode, the [Infernal Dragon Soul] rune can, as it allows each of his attacks to produce an explosion and fire effect.

"Ugh!"

Gan Sui let out a painful roar amidst the raging flames. The flames couldn't burn through his Armament Haki, but his proud long beard was burned away completely.

That was something he had kept from the time of Rocks until now; it was a perfect embodiment of his powerful charisma, and it's all gone just like that!

"I'll kill you!"

Gan Sui, engulfed in flames, charged toward Sith like a ghost rider.

Just as the two continued their fight, an old man sunbathing by the sea in Windmill Village received a phone call.

"Is that Tina?"

"Okay, I'm coming."

He stuffed the remaining ten or so rice crackers into his mouth and let out a muffled laugh.

"I love seeing old friends the most!"
