Chapter 197 The Battle Begins



This move, 'Azure Dragon,' is different from the previous ones. In the past, Azure Dragon was used on land to manipulate the moisture in the air and summon several water dragons. But this time, Kuro simply used a vast ocean as a medium.

He had only thought about this move before, but had never tried it.

The combination of [Mumei Shinfuu] and 'Float-Float Fruit' is quite difficult, and he doesn't know how powerful it will be, but now, however, it presents an opportunity!

He can give his first time to Teach.

"roar!!!"

As Kuro swung his blades, the seawater transformed into a gigantic water dragon, lunging menacingly towards Teach. Its sheer size overwhelmed the land, casting a shadow over them.

"Retreat immediately!"

Teach's pupils constricted, and he called to his companions to run away. However, at that moment, another shockwave struck them, who had been careless because they were looking at Kuro.

The shockwave caused everyone to groan and slow down.

At the same time, Garp swept his fist across, knocking Pizarro and Barzas to the ground, and smiled: "Take this."

As he spoke, he and Sengoku quickly retreated, moving away from the area covered by the giant water dragon.

"Dark acupoints!"

Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Teach reacted quickly, pressing his palm down on the ground and covering it with a large amount of darkness. The huge water dragon's body pressed down and touched the ground, and the water dragon began to be absorbed by the darkness.

But it was just too big; even if it covered the ground, it couldn't be absorbed all at once.

Boom!!!

The water dragon opened its massive jaws and swallowed Teach and his group whole. Its enormous body then charged directly at San Juan Wolf, who was hiding behind headquarters, in a hide-and-seek position.

Bang!

The water dragon struck his body, and the immense force caused him to cry out in alarm. His massive body crashed down, crushing numerous buildings behind him.

Splash!

After striking the wolf's body, the water dragon exploded and turned into a torrential rain that descended upon Marineford.

"Ugh, the impact of the water doesn't seem to hurt."

The wolf fell to the ground, wiped the water off itself, and its massive body stood up again, accompanied by a tremor.

He touched his throat, tilted his head to one side, and said blankly, "Eh, just water?"

On Teach's side, they were also being tossed about by the seawater. Shiryu, who was not a Devil Fruit user, was a little less affected. He held Thunderstorm and looked at Kuro, who was flying towards him at high speed, and spat out the wet cigar in his mouth.

“What’s going on…” Shiryu squinted.

Such a powerful force, and it was just washed away by the sea?

At that moment, Kuro arrived above Teach and looked down at them.

"Hahaha..."

Teach looked up, revealing a mouth missing most of its teeth. "You scared me, is that all?"

Kuro flicked the Shusui blade to remove the water droplets, and as everyone looked up at him, he slowly sheathed the Shusui.

Click.

As the last section of the blade entered the sheath, Teach, who was smiling, suddenly felt his body freeze.

laugh!

He first had a gash on his shoulder, from which blood gushed out.

Immediately afterwards, countless tiny cuts appeared on his chest, hands, feet, and body, as if the air itself was cutting him, and blood gushed out from all directions.

"Aaaaaah, it hurts so much! It hurts so much!"

Teach rolled around on the ground, leaving bloodstains everywhere. The others were in no better shape, their injuries no less severe than Teach's. They were all covered in blood, with countless wounds all over their bodies.

"Ouch, that really hurts..."

San Juan Wolf's wounds were gushing blood like a fountain, seemingly the most serious, but his expression remained blank, as if the pain was merely something he was saying.

This made Kuro frown slightly, as his techniques were primarily designed to counter this vicious wolf.

Having an opening breached and invaded by an ultimate technique, yet appearing completely unaffected—isn't that terrifying...?

The criminals who emerged from the battle on the sixth floor were indeed different.

Teach's original companions were the most seriously injured in this attack, while the prisoners seemed to be much more energetic.

"No, this move is wrong..."

Kuro thought for a moment, "Isn't this just a large 'Azure Dragon'? If it's just about forcibly gathering seawater to create an impact, then it's just a regular AOE attack. It should be able to go a step further..."

Injecting the entire seawater mass into the Azure Dragon's profound meaning and then releasing it looks magnificent, but it's just a fragmented version of the Lion's Might. The fusion isn't quite right, and it's just a waste of effort.

Injecting such a large amount of water into his profound technique must have taken a toll on him.

Mastering Piaopiao's skills still needs to be prioritized, as we haven't had enough time to develop them. With more refinement, we can probably do even better.

At this moment, the only one who was not injured was Lafitte, who flew away the instant the water dragon appeared.

"Captain Teach!"

Lafitte rushed down, but at that moment, Kuro appeared behind him and slashed his back with a knife, sending a spray of blood flying. Lafitte groaned and fell to the ground.

“Not a single one of them can escape. Do you think you’re safe and sound in Anyang?” Kuro grinned.

"Valkyrie Q, Valkyrie Q!"

While Teach was rolling around on the ground, he didn't forget to yell at Doc Q who was standing to the side.

This guy was in the worst condition of everyone, lying motionless on the ground, letting blood flow out of his body.
