One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Two powerful fists collided in mid-air.

Dark Armament Haki also appeared on Andrei's giant fist.

A circular shockwave suddenly erupted from the fist he threw, spreading along Hanks' glowing fist all the way to his body. The shockwave caused Hanks to let out a muffled groan, his body flying backward as he was knocked away by Andrei's punch.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The deck shook violently. Andrei closed his eyes and charged forward, chasing after Hanks, who was flying backward.

The hundreds of hunters on the ship were all covering their eyes and unable to fight.

The light emanating from Hanks was so intense that it illuminated the entire ship in a pure white glow.

Under the dazzling light, even the temperature on the ship rose.

"Ninja Art! Earth Release! Earth Split Technique!"

With his eyes closed, Mori Ichiro gestured with his fingers and pulled at the feet of the charging giant, Andrei.

"Chichi!"

Suddenly, a zipper was pulled open on the deck where Andrei had stepped, revealing a large hole.

Andrei lost his footing and his massive body sank into the ground.

"Gene Ango! If you don't want to be killed by Lord Gulliver, use your abilities to help. Isn't the weapon you're holding perfect for your abilities?"

Morishita Ichiro shouted, and at the same time, his round body rolled on the deck, kicking at the charging Sera.

Sera, with her eyes closed, reached behind her and pulled out two short knives, each about a foot long. She gripped them and, with a swift movement, slashed at the leg that was kicking at her.

Facing the twin swords aimed at his thigh, Morishita Ichiro did not dodge, but instead kicked Sera in the chest.

"Hehe, Sera, I remember you haven't awakened Armament Haki yet, have you? Uh ah!"

His laughter quickly turned into cries of pain.

Two deep, bone-revealing knife marks appeared on his shin after the kick.

Sera's petite body nimbly darted across the deck, dodging Mori Ichiro's black fist, which he swung in agony, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips.

"Yeah, I haven't awakened Armament Haki yet, but my weapon is sharp enough. Fatty, don't you know how bad your Armament Haki is?"

"That damn bitch! She's not gentle at all! Die!"

Mori Ichiro was in so much pain that tears streamed down his face. With a wave of his hand, a crack immediately appeared in the deck beneath Sera's feet.

The zipper ripped open, like a gaping maw, bulged from the deck and lunged at Sera's lower body.

However, this woman, dressed in a heavy metal style, skillfully dodged his attacks.

On the other side, Gene Ango, with his eyes closed, raised the Heavenly Dragon Halberd in his hand and hurled it at Andre, whose lower body was trapped in the black zipper space and gripped by the black space.

"Don't blame me, Andrei!"

"Sonic javelin!"

Chapter 246 Turtle Fruit

"Whoosh!"

The heavy Heavenly Dragon Halberd was thrown from Gene Ango's hand, instantly covering a distance of more than ten meters, and pierced the forehead of the giant Andrei.

The expected scene of Andrei's head being pierced by a sharp halberd did not occur.

His head snapped back, and a clanging sound rang out as it collided with the Heavenly Dragon Halberd on his forehead.

"Zeon Ango! You, a four-star hunter, dare to attack me? How could someone without even Armament Haki possibly break through my defenses! Hmm?"

With his lower body trapped in the zipper space and unable to move, Andrei roared, his two thick arms covered in a dark, domineering aura. With a hiss, he tore open the black crack beneath him and crawled out of it.

There was only a small cut on his forehead, from which bright red blood slowly flowed out.

"How is that possible! That's the Great Sword, the Heavenly Dragon Halberd!"

GeneAngo's eyes widened, and he blurted out instinctively.

However, as soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted it and covered his mouth.

"A greatsword?"

Andrei's body trembled, he raised his hand to touch his forehead, and stretched out his huge palm to grab the Heavenly Dragon Halberd at his feet.

"No wonder it could break through my impenetrable defense, it's a Great Sword! Hahaha, excellent, such a heavy weapon is perfect for me. I never thought the Raiders would give me such a great gift. Thank you so much, Gen'ango."

Andrei examined the halberd in his hand with great delight, which infuriated Gene Ango.

"Damn it! That's my weapon! Give it back to me!"

Enraged, GeneAngo grabbed his own hair and threw himself away.

"Sonic Leap!"

"Whoosh!"

He flew over at an extremely fast speed, so fast that even Andrei's Observation Haki couldn't catch him.

But Andrei didn't need to capture him at all.

He simply stood there with a cold smile, his large hand firmly gripping the Heavenly Dragon Halberd.

"bass!"

While flying at top speed, Gene Ango reached out and stabbed Andrei in the face with a short sword.

"Clang!"

With a crisp sound, the short sword he was holding snapped in two.

The flying blade whizzed past GeneAngo's own cheek, slicing a gash in his face and terrifying him to the point of utter panic.

"call!"

A giant hand slammed down from the sky, grabbing Geneango, who was suspended in mid-air after stabbing Andrei, and slammed him heavily to the ground.

"boom!"

A large hole appeared in the deck, and GeneAngo's eyes rolled back as he coughed up blood from the impact.

"Light Finger Gun!"

A blinding light flashed before him, and Hanks, who had been sent flying backward, returned and poked Andrei's eye with a finger.

His fingers, though black, gleamed with a bright light as they whistled and stabbed through the air, producing a sharp sound.

"It's no use. I'm the man with the strongest defense in the Bounty Hunter Guild."

Andrei grinned, his face revealing crisscrossing lines, his skin hardening as if covered by a thick layer of plate armor.

His body swelled up, growing more than two meters taller, reaching a height of eight meters.

The clothes on his upper body were stretched taut, and a huge tortoise shell grew out of his back.

"Clang!"

With a loud bang, Hanks' glowing fingers were blocked by Andrei's raised hand.

Hanks's face turned grim as he looked at Andre, whose body had drastically changed and resembled a giant tortoise standing upright.

"The Zoan-type Tortoise Fruit, in its tortoise form, is known as the Zoan-type fruit with the strongest defense."

"Surrender, Hanks! Come back with me to see the old man, and maybe he'll spare you out of consideration for our past relationship."

Andrei gripped the Heavenly Dragon Halberd and slashed at Hanks, who was retreating at high speed.

Faced with the aggressive Andrei, Hanks was forced into a somewhat awkward position.

They couldn't break through the opponent's defenses.

Even if they resisted, they couldn't withstand the opponent's attack.

In just over ten seconds, Hanks was hit by three punches and two kicks from Andrei, causing him to vomit blood and break several bones.

The massive two-masted sailing ship was also shattered in the rear half of its cabin by the aftershocks of the battle, and two masts were broken off.

The other hunters on the ship had already sensed the danger and jumped into the sea.

Meanwhile, Mori Ichiro was still locked in combat with Sera, and both had sustained injuries.

Sera was ultimately at a disadvantage because she lacked Devil Fruit powers and had not yet awakened Armament Haki.

However, it seems that Mori Ichiro won't be able to defeat him in the short term.

But Hanks couldn't hold on any longer.

"Oh!"

As a massive, ravenous fist slammed into Hanks's abdomen before he could dodge, he was sent flying more than twenty meters into the air by Andrei's punch, crashing down with a mouthful of blood.

"Morishita! You bastard, didn't you say Chairman Gulliver was coming? How long has it been? If you don't come soon, you can expect to be collecting our corpses!"

Hanks looked grief-stricken.

If he had known it would turn out like this, why would he have betrayed us?

"Don't rush! Hang in there a little longer. By the time Chairman Gulliver arrives, they'll all be dead."

Morishita Shichiro shrank back, dodging Sera's short sword slash, and threw a punch. His dark fist slammed into Sera's stomach, causing her to cough up blood and fly backward, crashing into the ship's side and shattering the wooden frame.

"Pooh!"

"Look, Jonathan isn't just getting old. And you, his beloved granddaughter, are pitifully weak. Think about it yourselves, what future do we have if we continue to follow you?"

Mori Ichiro gasped for breath, spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, lunged forward, and punched Sera in the face again.

Seeing the fist coming down on her head, Sera didn't say anything, but gritted her teeth and forcefully thrust out the short knife in her hand.

But just as the short sword was about to pierce through the air, it was snatched away by Morishita Ichiro, a fierce glint in his eyes, who then slashed at Sera's slender, white neck.

"If you die, that old man Jonathan will be very sad, won't he?"

Just as the dagger was about to strike Sera's neck, Morishitaichiro felt a chill run down his spine and a bone-chilling coldness swept over him from behind.

Then, a loud whooshing sound rang out behind him, and a huge tortoise shell, as big as a door panel, flew in spinning and smashed into his back.

The tortoise shell whistled closer, and huge fists shot out from several holes on its side, slamming into Mori Ichiro's back. He screamed in pain, and his fat body flew sideways like a tattered sack.
