Chapter 354: A Person with Strange Abilities! (Two in One)
“Ah~”
"It's really rare!"
"I didn't expect Stussy to actually be telling the truth. Someone actually broke into Impel Down!"
“Woohahahaha!”
"Interesting guy!"
Stussy led Scarlett and her daughter out of the corridor. Scarlett, with a haggard look and lifeless eyes, heard the words of the prisoner behind her. She looked away from her daughter, slowly raised her head and looked forward.
On a nearby stone platform, Tsugumi Yoshiichi stood with a knife in hand. Behind him, Yixiao hovered in mid-air, his foot resting on a half-broken wooden door. Xiong had used his power to fly back to the platform and stood behind Tsugumi Yoshiichi, observing the group emerging from the corridor with a solemn expression.
Farther away, in the prison town where the sea of blood was staged, a black shadow jumped out from the rubble, leaped onto the roof, and looked towards the stone platform.
Scarlett looked at these familiar faces, and her pupils gradually became focused.
"It's General Tsugikokuenichi!"
Scarlett's cracked mouth opened slightly, her eyes full of hope.
"Scarlett!!!"
At this moment, a desperate cry came from above the sea of blood. Scarlett was all too familiar with this voice. The moment she heard it, tears streamed down her face. She looked up at the black "dot" at the vent of the Hungry Hell and screamed:
"Cyrus!!!"
The couple looked at each other from afar across the sea of blood. At the windward side, all of Cyrus' attention was focused on Scarlett and Rebecca, mother and daughter, and he completely ignored Magellan who was beside him.
Noticing that Cyrus was distracted, Magellan silently took two steps back, then reached out and grabbed the seastone scabbard that was pressed against his back.
Cyrus didn't notice Magellan's actions and just lay down on the hot ground, shouting to Scarlett.
"Those people"
Magellan escaped from the trap, but facing the defenseless Cyrus, he had no intention of attacking him. He walked to Cyrus' side and looked at the stone platform below. Seeing the prisoners in prison uniforms behind Stussy, Magellan murmured and his face immediately became gloomy.
The movement around him finally caught Cyrus' attention. Cyrus quickly stood up, drew his sword from his back, and slashed directly at Magellan on the side.
Magellan noticed Cyrus' attack at the first moment, or rather, he had been on guard against Cyrus since he escaped.
The huge body quickly flashed backwards, narrowly avoiding Cyrus's horizontal slash.
Magellan's physical ability was not strong. He was from a rare race and had bat wings on his back. His body was much stronger than that of an average human since birth. In addition, the terrifying power of the Poison-Poison Fruit allowed him to easily win battles against humans. Over time, Magellan fell behind in physical training.
Just talking about physical skills, even more than ten years later, Magellan's physical skills are only slightly stronger than Gear 2 Luffy.
Since following Yoriichi Tsugakuni, Cyrus has become proficient in swordsmanship and domineering. Just talking about his current strength, he is probably stronger than Zoro before he entered Wano Country.
The attack missed, and Cyrus immediately calmed down. He kicked the ground quickly, and instantly came in front of Magellan with the sword in hand, and chopped Magellan with the sword.
Magellan, who had already been severely injured by Ji Guoyuan's sword, was unable to move. Seeing Cyrus's sword falling, his body was quickly covered with purple venom. He quickly spoke to stop him:
"Hey! Don't you understand what's going on?!"
"I am not your enemy!"
"I won't attack you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cyrus's sword suddenly stopped in the air. At the same time, Magellan's right hand covered with venom also stopped in front of Cyrus' chest.
If Cyrus had not stopped, Magellan might have taken Cyrus's blow, but at the same time, Cyrus would have been hit by Magellan's fist.
Magellan might be seriously injured by the sword, but Cyrus, who was poisoned, had absolutely no chance of survival.
When Magellan saw the prisoners behind Stussy, he no longer had any desire to fight Cyrus, Tsugumi Yui and others.
He knew very well that the crisis facing the city was not caused by Tsugikoku Yoshiichi and his group.
On the contrary
"Those people were originally criminals imprisoned on the sixth floor of Impel Down, the Infinite Hell!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the one who just shattered the wooden door and attacked Yoriichi Tsugakuni and the others was the user of the Expansion Fruit, a giant from the tribe, San Juan Wolf."
"The reward is 530 million berries."
“And those people”
"Each one of them is a pirate with a bounty of 500 million, 600 million, or even over 1 billion!"
"Looking at the situation, we know that your enemies are those pirates!"
Magellan looked at the longsword that rested before him and breathed a sigh of relief. He was now certain that the real purpose of Tsugumi Yoshiichi and his group's visit to the city was to target the mother and daughter.
With Magellan's current capabilities, he probably has no way to deal with the combined forces of the pirates who have escaped from the Infinite Hell. If he waits for support from the Navy Headquarters, it may be too late.
Right now, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi and his group are the force that Magellan can rely on and utilize!
"Over 1 billion?!"
Hearing Magellan's words, Cyrus's face changed color, and he quickly turned his head to look at the stone platform below. In this day and age, every pirate with a bounty exceeding one billion is worthy of the title of "Legendary Pirate".
Furthermore, the pirates who escaped prison at the moment were not necessarily those who had been imprisoned in Infinite Hell in recent years. The true ability of the escaped pirates might not be defined by their bounties at all.
On the stone platform, a silver-haired old man about 60 years old, wearing a loose prison uniform, slowly walked to Stussy's side.
Perhaps because the Infinite Hell has not seen the sun for many years, the skin of the silver-haired old man exposed outside the prison uniform is pale and looks a little sick.
The old man had a neatly slicked-back hair, with no trace of other colors in his silver hair.
Although he is not young, one can still see the elegance of his youth on the old man's face at a glance.
A handsome old man whose style is completely different from other people in the One Piece world.
"Stussy, you said that if I could kill these little devils, I could establish my own kingdom after I get out and roam the sea freely and unrestrained?"
"Is it true?"
The handsome silver-haired old man walked to Stussy's side with a faint smile on his face. He looked at Ji Guoyuan and others and spoke to confirm.
"Captain Henry, you didn't seem to understand what I just said."
"It's about becoming one of the Shichibukai, being able to plunder legally, not about forming a nation of your own."
"On this ocean, only countries that pay the gold from heaven on time can be considered legitimate countries!"
Stussy covered her red lips lightly and reminded in a soft voice.
"It's all the same. It's all the same."
The silver-haired old man called Captain Henry by Stussy nodded with a smile, waved his hand nonchalantly, and then his eyes fell on Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
At this time, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi was also looking at Stussy and others carefully without saying a word.
Very strong momentum
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi has been rampant on this sea for such a long time, and he has never seen such a powerful aura many times.
At this time, there were thirteen prisoners who followed Stussy out of the corridor, including San Juan the Wolf who was hiding in the wall.
Based on the perception of Jiguo Yuanyi's Observation Haki, judging from the aura alone, the old man standing next to Stussy is the strongest one.
Feeling Jiguo Yuanyi's gaze, Henry Avery suddenly raised his hand, and a blood needle the size of a needle instantly turned into a stream of light, pointing directly at the center of Jiguo Yuanyi's eyebrows, and shot towards Jiguo Yuanyi at a rapid speed.
The speed is so fast that it can even be compared to Borsalino's laser beam.
"call out--"
The blood needle came flying at him. It seemed that Tsugakuin Yoshiichi had anticipated Henry Everly's attack long before he made his move. He turned his head in advance, and the blood needle flew past Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's ear and disappeared without a trace.
"oh--"
Henry Avery saw that Tsugakuin Yoshiichi had dodged his attack so easily, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He murmured softly, looked at Tsugakuin Yoshiichi with interest, and then said:
"Kid, you did a great job. You deserve me to remember your name!"
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi, right?"
"Don't worry, it won't be too painful!"
Henry Avery spoke, slowly raising his left hand. There was a small wound on the tip of his index finger, and a trickle of blood oozed from the wound. As Henry Avery spoke, his left thumb and middle finger squeezed against the sides of his index finger, and more blood oozed from the wound on the fingertip.
When Ji Guoyuan saw this scene, he frowned slightly.
The next second, Henry Avery flicked his left hand, and a drop of blood fell into the pool of blood on the ground.
The pool of blood on the ground was left by San Juan Wolf, who was previously injured by Yoshiichi Tsugakuni. San Juan Wolf's injuries were not actually serious, but he was a giant, and his fingers were injured by Yoshiichi Tsugakuni's slash, so a lot of blood flowed out.
"clatter!"
The drop of Henry Avery's blood fell into the pool of blood at his feet. The next second, the blood on the ground suddenly flowed together rapidly and slowly floated up from the ground.
"What is that?!"
At the wind outlet of the Hunger Hell, Cyrus saw the changes on the stone platform and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Magellan, who was standing by, saw this scene and frowned as he replied:
"Captain Henry Avery, gentleman."
"A bounty of 1.26 billion berries. Sixteen years ago, he was imprisoned in the Infinite Hell of Impel Down."
"It was Marshal Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp who captured them and brought them back to the Navy when they were young."
"That's Henry Avery's devil fruit ability. He can control all the blood in his body."
"All it takes is a trigger, and you can also manipulate the blood of others."
As Magellan spoke, something strange happened on the stone platform. When Henry Avery took action, the other prisoners watched coldly from the sidelines, showing no intention of taking action at all.
Although Tsugikuni Yoshiichi didn't know what the other party's abilities were, he had no intention of sitting there and waiting to die. His figure flashed and he flew towards Henry Everly silently.
"Um?!"
"The aura is gone! Amazing ability!"
"only."
"Young man, your energy and blood are really too vigorous!"
When Henry Avery saw that Tsugikuni Yoshiichi disappeared from his sight, his pupils shrank slightly, but soon his face returned to calm.
The next second, the blood gathered on the ground formed a wave, blocking Henry Avery's back. Strangely, the blood, which was clearly in liquid form, solidified into a solid red wall the moment it appeared behind Henry Avery.
"clang!!!!"
Ji Guoyuan dodged and slashed directly at the blood wall. A loud bang suddenly sounded, and Ji Guoyuan's expression darkened slightly as he felt the blade's impact.
The feeling of slashing on the blood wall was like slashing on some indestructible metal.
Jiguo Yuanyi quickly drew his sword, and the domineering aura quickly surrounded the long sword. He was about to use brute force to break through Henry Everly's defense, when he suddenly noticed that the hard blood wall suddenly liquefied. Countless blood needles shot directly towards Jiguo Yuanyi at the moment the blood wall liquefied.
The dense blood needles like fluff made it impossible to defend against them.
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi made a quick decision, gave up the attack, and disappeared behind Henry Avery.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
And just the next second after Ji Guoyuan's figure disappeared, countless fine needles hit the wall, making a dense roar.
"Heroic Haki!"
"Uh-huh!"
Henry Everly sensed the domineering state of Ji Guoyuan at that moment. Seeing Ji Guoyuan flying back and dodging, Henry Everly burst into laughter for no reason.
The next second, blood gathered in Henry Avery's hands, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into a nearly three-meter-long spear. Henry Avery clenched his hands, and a powerful domineering aura suddenly attached to the blood-red spear. Then, with a flash of his figure, he suddenly flew towards Ji Guoyuan.
"Lance?!"
Seeing the weapon condensed in Henry Avery's hand, Jiguo Yuanyi was also slightly surprised. He had seen such weapons among the guards in the Holy Land and in Dressrosa.
But it was the first time he saw such a weapon from a pirate.
Henry Avery's attack came quickly. He grabbed the tail of the blood-red spear with both hands and chopped the tip of the spear vertically towards the top of Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's head.
Ji Guoyuan quickly swung the long sword in his hand across his head to block the opponent's attack. The terrifying force coming from the opponent's gun tip made Ji Guoyuan sink his body and his feet directly inserted into the ground.
"snort!"
Seeing his attack blocked, Henry Avery actually curled his lips and let out a chuckle. The next moment, the tip of Henry Avery's long spear suddenly liquefied and exploded, and blood directly spread onto Tsugikuni Yoriichi's face.
From Henry Avery's actions, Yoshiichi Tsugikuni could more or less judge the opponent's abilities.
"The drop of blood squeezed out of my hand fell on the giant's blood, and then I was able to control that blood."
"If you get something like this on you, you'll be in huge trouble!"
A thought flashed through Ji Guoyuan's mind, and at the same time, his body quickly tilted, and he left his original position and dodged.
“Da da da—”
The exploded blood ball spilled onto the ground. As Henry Avery's gun danced lightly, the blood on the ground quickly floated up and condensed into a scarlet and black gun tip at the top of Henry Avery's gun barrel.
Henry Avery looked at Tsugikoku Yoriichi and said with a smile:
"Old"
"I'm really old too."
"I can't deal with such a brat right away."
"Time is really cruel to me!"
As he spoke, Henry Avery's face suddenly became distorted, and he growled with his mouth open:
"Sengoku, Garp!"
"It's all your fault, you two bastards!"
"I'm out now, and I'm going to kill both of you!"
"Haha. Hahahaha!"
Henry Avery was clearly fighting with Yoshikazu Tsugakuni, but at this moment, he suddenly laughed crazily.
There was hatred in the laughter.
This crazy laughter also made everyone in the burning hell shudder.
