Chapter 356 Absolute Gap! (Two in One)
In the dim corridor, the blood-red dagger was inconspicuous under the dim oil lamp. When the dagger was less than half a meter away from Jiguo Yuanyi, the suspended blood-red dagger suddenly accelerated, turned into a red stream of light, and quickly stabbed towards Jiguo Yuanyi's back.
Just as the tip of the blade was about to pierce Jiguo Yuanyi's back, Jiguo Yuanyi, who was walking forward, suddenly swung the long sword in his hand backwards and easily deflected the incoming bloody dagger.
"boom!!"
The dagger that was knocked out hit the wall with a loud noise. As the blade sank into the rock wall, cracks suddenly appeared on the wall with a radius of one meter centered on the dagger. Gravel and sand fell from the wall to the ground, making a rustling sound.
"There's no need to use such a trick, right?"
"If these are the only means, then there's no need to keep running!"
Ji Guoyuan kept walking as he spoke. As he walked deeper and deeper into the corridor, the scorching air gradually disappeared.
After walking for another ten meters, a big hole appeared on the ground of the corridor. Light shone into the corridor from the hole. I slowly walked to the edge of the hole. A strong cold wind rushed out of the hole and poured into the corridor.
Not long ago, the high temperature of the scorching hell was affecting the temperature in the corridor through the outside portal, but at this moment, the temperature in the air became abnormally low due to the influence of the hole in front of them.
Ji Guoyuan stood in front of this huge cave and looked down slightly.
This cave runs through the ground of the scorching hell. When Ji Guoyuan looked down, he found a vast expanse of white ice.
Using his Observation Haki to re-confirm the breath of the escaping prisoners, he realized that the survivors had escaped into the fifth level of the extremely cold hell. A look of disgust involuntarily appeared on Tsugikuni Yoriichi's face.
For some unknown reason, Yoriichi Tsugikuni seemed to hate cold and humid environments, and the Extreme Cold Hell happened to be just such a place.
"What's going on?"
The inexplicable feeling of disgust that emerged in his heart was noticed by Ji Guoyuanyi. He said it in his heart, and a look of worry flashed across his face.
Now is not the time to explore these things. The most important thing now is to deal with CP0 and the criminals who escaped from Impel Down.
After kidnapping Cyrus' wife and children, if Tsugikuni Yoriichi doesn't make the other party pay the price, how can their new navy survive in the New World?
Yuichiro Tsugikuni thinks he is a good person, but he is not the kind of good guy who allows others to ride on his head without fighting back.
Although his teacher is Zephyr, there is an essential difference between Tsugakuin Yoriichi and Zephyr.
If you do something wrong, you will be punished!
Ji Guoyuan suppressed his disgust for the cold and damp environment, took a light leap, and jumped directly into the cave.
The moment Tsugikoku Yoshiichirō entered the cave, countless stone cones suddenly grew out from the rock wall at the entrance of the cave. At the same time as the stone cones appeared, Tsugikoku Yoshiichirō also noticed that there were many bloodstains on the rock wall.
"This is."
Seeing this scene, Ji Guoyuan frowned.
The next second, those quickly formed stone cones and stabbed directly towards Ji Guoyuanyi in mid-air. At the same time, the bloodstains on the wall turned into tiny blood needles and flew towards Ji Guoyuanyi at a rapid speed.
In this huge cave that leads from the scorching hell to the extremely cold hell, there is a fatal move against Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
A person in mid-air has no foothold at all, and there is no way to avoid such an attack.
On the ice field directly below the cave, at the same time that Yoshiichi Tsugakuni was attacked, five people appeared directly below the cave.
The two people in the lead were Stussy and Henry Everly who had escaped from the Burning Hell Stone Platform. When they heard the noise coming from the cave above, Henry Everly immediately showed a bright smile on his face.
Behind him, a skinny middle-aged man in prison uniform raised his hands, a flattering smile on his face, and said to Stussy:
"Stussy, that man has absolutely no chance of survival given the abilities of Captain Henry and I."
"Even if he's not dead, as long as Captain Henry's attack hits the opponent, all the blood in his body will be controlled by Captain Henry, and he will have absolutely no way to resist us!"
"You should keep the promise you made to us before."
The middle-aged man who spoke was named Otto. Before he was imprisoned, his bounty was as high as 360 million berries. He was a parahuman devil fruit user.
Even Otto himself doesn't know what kind of devil fruit he ate. Like most ordinary people in this world, Otto became a person with special abilities purely because he accidentally ate a devil fruit.
When he realized that he had inexplicably become a person with special abilities, his desires and ambitions were quickly exposed.
When an ordinary person possesses power far beyond that of an ordinary person and secular laws and law enforcement officers are unable to restrain him, Otto, driven by desire, quickly becomes a pirate who disregards life and plunders wantonly. His targets of plunder are not only treasures, but also the women he likes.
If the Celestial Dragons themselves are a collection of "evil", then the original ordinary person Otto, after gaining extraordinary powers, has also become a "Celestial Dragon" in another sense!
Otto's ability is to control all non-living things he touches with his hands. Of course, this does not include seastone and sea water. The trap for Tsugikuni Yoriichi was set up by Otto and Henry Avery.
When talking to Stussy, although Otto had a flattering smile on his face, there was a hint of murderous intent and strong desire in his eyes.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea are pirates who can legally plunder.
This kind of identity is what everyone would want!
However, Otto, who has been in the ocean for many years, also understands one thing, that is, the promises of the World Government cannot be trusted most of the time!
When Otto asked the question, the pirates nearby also looked at Stussy. Although they didn't say anything, the pirates' eyes had already clearly expressed their inner desires.
At this time, Stussy was looking up at the dim cave above her head. The ability of the Bat Fruit allowed Stussy to clearly perceive what was happening in the cave above even though she could not see the scene inside the cave clearly.
Hearing Otto's question and noticing the gazes of the surrounding pirates, Stussy frowned.
"Pirates are pirates."
"The enemy hasn't even been completely eliminated, and you're already thinking about 'dividing the spoils afterwards'."
"You can't help but feel the pain!"
Stussy said in a cold voice. As soon as she finished speaking, Stussy's pupils shrank slightly, and her figure quickly flew back, disappearing from the sight of many pirates.
Hearing Stussy's mocking voice and seeing Stussy running away, Otto was about to get angry when he realized that there was no sound coming from the cave above. Subconsciously looking up, Otto saw a red-haired young man suddenly falling from the sky. As he looked up, a neatly dressed red-haired young man had already reached above his head, and a black long knife suddenly chopped down on his neck.
"this"
Otto didn't have any chance to react at all. Ji Guoyuan fell rapidly from the air and the long sword in his hand quickly slashed across Otto's neck.
“Bang!!”
As Otto's head fell to the ice, his body also knelt down and then fell to the ice. Blood soon dyed the ground red.
After executing Otto with one knife, Ji Guoyuanyi quickly looked at Stussy who had turned into a shadow and was fleeing quickly. However, before he could make any move, Henry Avery attacked Ji Guoyuanyi with a bloody gun.
"I've seen your marksmanship before."
"I'm no longer interested in guys like you. If you're eager to die, I'll satisfy you!"
The blood spear attacked, Ji Guoyuan quickly dodged the opponent's attack by turning his body to the side, and then thrust the long knife in his hand forward quickly and stabbed Henry Everly. At this moment, blood on the knife wound on Henry Everly's chest quickly condensed into the size of a tennis ball, and instantly blocked the tip of Ji Guoyuan's knife.
Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's long sword only pierced the blood ball, and the attack was instantly eliminated.
At the same time, Henry Avery grabbed the gun butt with his right hand and pulled it back suddenly. The next moment, the spear was thrust out again, pointing directly at Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's chest.
"Fruit ability, taijutsu, and Haki."
"These three abilities are perfectly combined together, and can be used skillfully in combat."
"He's a rare 'skill flow' expert."
Henry Avery's fighting style was somewhat surprising to Yoriichi Tsugakuni. In the world of One Piece, most of the pirates Yoriichi Tsugakuni had encountered were "using force to break the law" and their skills were terrible.
How to put it, it can be simply understood that the fighting skills of the people in this world are extremely monotonous.
You can simply imagine the people in this world as characters in a game. The strength of their domineering power is the size of their attack and defense values, and the devil fruit abilities are like the various "characteristics" of the game characters. Some of these devil fruits can increase the "value" of their attack power, some can increase the "value" of their defense power, and some can add "characteristics" to human attacks.
To give a simple example, the three completely different natural devil fruits of the three admirals of the navy today are three different types of characteristics.
Natural-type devil fruits, in addition to being able to naturally increase a person's "dodge", can also greatly improve a person's attack. For example, Akainu's magma fruit not only increases his "attack power value" but also provides a "critical hit" attribute.
For example, Kizaru's Shimmer Fruit provides the ultimate "dodge" and "movement speed", while increasing his "attack power value" and providing the "ignore defense" attribute. A laser can create a hole, and even someone as strong as Zephyr cannot resist it with domineering. The "Seraph" laser created by imitating Kizaru is enough to threaten the Four Emperors.
Aokiji's ice fruit is more like a "mechanism killing". People who are not strong enough in domineering will be killed instantly when they encounter Aokiji.
However, when the enemy has enough Haki, his ice fruit can only consume the opponent's Haki and physical strength. But when the opponent is weak to a certain extent, Aokiji's ice fruit can kill the enemy instantly.
In the world of One Piece, battles are fought over who has the highest attack, the most HP, and the strongest "characteristics." Skills, in some ways, have become a scarce commodity.
In the world of One Piece, the competition between the strong is just about seeing who has the higher "value". No matter what skills are practiced, it is not as good as improving the "panel value".
In recent years, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni has not put much thought into his sword skills. He has been trying to find ways to increase the amount of Haki, the strength of Haki, and his physical fitness. The purpose of eating the devil fruit is also to "stack the panel".
The difference between them can actually be seen by watching the battle between Kaido and Akainu.
Kaido has low attack and high health. He can’t kill Kin’emon with one powerful attack, but he can give Luffy a hard time with three sticks.
Akainu is one of those people with "high attack" and thick blood. Not only did he use his waist to take Whitebeard's punch that destroyed the island, but he also pierced Whitebeard's chest and head with two punches, and then killed Ace with two punches and pierced Jinbe with one punch. It can be said that "every punch was a critical hit."
In such an environment, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's fighting style has changed drastically in recent years. When he fights with others, he basically crushes his opponents with extreme strength, and skills are used less and less.
Henry Avery's fighting style made Yoriichi Tsugikuni see the shadow of his former self.
But it must be said that people like Henry Avery have gone astray!
Looking at the blood-red spear flying towards him, Ji Guoyuan tightened the long sword in his hand, and the powerful domineering aura instantly gathered on the long sword. Then Ji Guoyuan bent his body and quickly avoided Henry Everly's attack, while thrusting the long sword in his hand forward quickly.
The sharp long knife immediately broke through the blood ball created by Henry Everly, which was condensed with powerful and domineering power, and pierced through Henry Everly's lower abdomen.
"Woo"
Henry Everly groaned in pain, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. Henry Everly, who was seriously injured again, quickly reached out and grabbed Tsugikuni Yoriichi's neck.
"As long as we catch him"
"As long as I catch him I can still win!"
The seriously injured Henry Avery was extremely determined, with madness in his eyes.
After successfully attacking, Jiguo Yuanyi suddenly drew out his long sword, then his body flashed and suddenly disappeared in front of Henry Everly.
“Until now.”
"Don't you realize the gap between us?"
“It’s really sad!”
Jiguo Yuanyi's cold voice came from behind Henry Everly, and this sudden sound behind him made Henry Everly's hand suddenly freeze in the air.
"No matter how powerful a Devil Fruit's ability is, it's meaningless if it can't hit the opponent!"
As soon as Tsugikuni Yoshiichi finished speaking, Henry Avery felt his perspective shaking, and the ice field under his feet was getting closer and closer to his eyes.
“Bang—”
As Henry Avery's head fell onto the ice, the two remaining pirates not far away, one of whom was the enormous San Juan Wolf, and the other was a burly middle-aged man, saw that Henry Avery was killed so easily by Tsugikuni Yoshiichi. The middle-aged man's knees actually weakened and he begged for mercy:
"Don't, don't kill me!"
"I will go back, I will go back to prison, don't kill me!"
"Please! Please!"
“Forgive me, spare me!!!”
While the middle-aged man was speaking, Jigoku Yoshiichi had already walked up to him with a knife in hand, and his shadow covered the middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground.
The middle-aged man kneeling on the ground was crying and his face was full of pleading. He reached out to grab Ji Guoyuanyi's calf. However, at this moment, the long knife quickly swept across the middle-aged man's neck, and the middle-aged man's action of grabbing Ji Guoyuanyi's calf was also paused.
"I can clearly feel your murderous intent."
Jiguo Yuanyi glanced at the corpse on the ground indifferently, and then slashed at San Juan Wolf who turned around and was about to escape. Then, without looking at the effect of his slash, he took off into the air and flew towards the fleeing Stussy.
"ah!!!!!"
As Ji Guoyuan flew away, a terrifying slash suddenly hit San Juan Wolf's legs. As San Juan Wolf let out a scream, his huge body suddenly lost balance and fell on the ice field.
His left leg was cut off by a knife, and blood flowed like a wave on the ice. San Juan Wolf covered his broken leg and kept wailing. As the blood flowed more and more, San Juan Wolf's body slowly grew colder.
