Chapter 355 The Real Target! (Two in One)
Henry Avery's laughter echoed throughout the burning inferno.
Stussy, who controlled Scarlett and her daughter, saw that Henry Everly was able to gain the upper hand in the brief fight with Tsugikuni Yoriichi. A smile appeared on her beautiful face and she felt relieved.
Stussy had never met Tsugikoku Yoriichi, nor had she seen him in combat. Her assessment of his combat prowess was largely based on intelligence provided by the Five Elders, who had suffered heavy losses at his hands, and therefore held him in high regard.
This also caused Stussy to always feel a strong sense of fear towards Tsugikoku Yoshiichi.
However, judging from his performance in the battle just now, although Tsugikuni Yoshiichi is strong, he is not so strong that he gives people the feeling that he is invincible.
Now, Henry Avery alone is able to gain the upper hand over Yoriichi Tsugakuni. If other prisoners from the Infinite Hell attack together, Yoriichi Tsugakuni will definitely not be able to resist with the strength he has shown now.
"Hehehe"
"Captain Henry, after you kill him, you will become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and you will be on the same side as the Navy."
"If you really attack Marshal Sengoku and Hero Garp, I will be very distressed too!"
Stussy, feeling relieved, chuckled and joked with Henry Everly. Henry Everly stopped laughing after hearing this, and shook his head with a smile: "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously."
“How could I possibly lay hands on a future colleague?”
Although he said this, the murderous intent in Henry Everly's eyes did not subside at all. Everyone present knew very well which words of Henry Everly were true and which were false.
Stussy simply covered her mouth and nose with her lady fan and chuckled.
Will Henry Avery really seek revenge on Sengoku and Garp for sending him to Impel Down? What does this have to do with Stussy?
For Stussy, all that matters now is getting rid of Tsugikoku Yoshiichi and his gang!
Thinking of this, Stussy raised her head and slightly turned her head to look in the direction of Tsugakuin Yuichiro in the distance. Coincidentally, Stussy's sidelong glance happened to meet Tsugakuin Yuichiro's gaze.
"Um?!"
He was clearly fighting against the terrifyingly powerful Henry Avery, yet he still had time to focus on me?!
The moment she noticed Jiguo Yuan's gaze, Stussy murmured softly. For some reason, her heart suddenly began to beat violently, and an inexplicable sense of crisis emerged from the bottom of her heart.
"call out!!!"
At this moment, Henry Everly, who was holding a gun, suddenly kicked his feet on the ground and rushed towards Ji Guoyuan.
A flash of cold light came first, and then the gun shot out like a dragon.
The sharp blood-red spear tip quickly pointed towards the center of Jiguo Yuanyi's eyebrows. Jiguo Yuanyi leaned back slightly, and the long sword in his hand quickly blocked the spear head. Then he quickly drew another long sword from his waist with his left hand, and directly replaced the long sword in his right hand with the long sword against the spear shaft. Then he quickly rushed forward and came directly in front of Henry Everly, holding the long sword in his right hand and draped it towards Henry Everly.
"A two-sword swordsman?!"
Seeing this series of actions by Yoshikazu Tsugikuni, Henry Avery was slightly startled. He grabbed the butt of the gun with one hand and pressed it forward quickly. The long spear stood up under his action and blocked directly in front of him.
"clang!!!"
The upright gun barrel blocked Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's slash, and the violent sound accompanied by powerful domineering aura quickly dissipated in all directions.
"Heroic Haki?!"
While Henry Everly was surprised that Yoshiichi Tsugakuni could actually use the dual sword style, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni also sensed the kind of domineering aura gathered on the other party's blood spear. He murmured in his heart, and suddenly released the terrifying domineering aura, and pounced towards Henry Everly in front of him.
What surprised Ji Guoyuan was that a prisoner released randomly in the city actually had control over the power of Ba Chan. This was something Ji Guoyuan had not expected at the beginning.
Although Tsugikuni Yoriichi knew that in the New World, people with the so-called "king's qualities" were countless, but awakening the Conqueror's Haki and being able to use the Haki were two completely different concepts.
Anyone who has awakened Conqueror's Haki can only be said to have the "qualifications of a king" at best, but anyone who has mastered the Haki truly possesses the strength to compete for the title of "king".
People like Ace, Doflamingo, and Katakuri, each of them has awakened the Conqueror's Haki, but none of them has mastered the Haki, and no one has truly stood at the top of the sea.
"Hey, kid, you're in good spirits!"
Henry Everly sensed the surging domineering aura, and while grabbing the gun with both hands to block Jigoku Yoshi's blade, the powerful domineering aura also blasted back towards Jigoku Yoshi.
"Buzz—"
The domineering Haki of Yoriichi Tsugikuni and the domineering Haki of Henry Everly collided with each other, and spread rapidly in all directions with the two of them as the center.
The sea of blood below the stone platform was rippling on its surface because of the influence of this domineering aura.
The prisoners standing at the entrance of the passage were staring at Tsugikuni Yoshiichi and Henry Avery at this moment, and were shocked by the terrifying power they had displayed.
At this moment, Stussy suddenly felt a weight on her hand. Scarlett, who was already weak, could hardly hold on in an environment like the scorching hell. Now, affected by the domineering aura exuded by Tsugikuni Yoshiichi and Henry Everly, she immediately lost consciousness and fell backwards.
"whispering sound"
Stussy spat softly, fanned herself with the lady's fan in her hand, and was about to help Scarlett when suddenly the ultrasound wave that was directed back to her body began to move abnormally.
Stussy is the user of the Bat Fruit, but her Bat Fruit is a little different from the ordinary Bat Fruit. She ate a mythical beast - the vampire form, and inherited the fruit ability of a super strong man on the sea back then.
Several years after the Red Earl was executed by the Navy, the devil fruit he had eaten reappeared on the sea and was "recovered" by the World Government.
The World Government has been collecting powerful devil fruits for a long time. The natural type fruits possessed by the three admirals of the navy are actually the navy's "collection".
The Kuma's Meatball Fruit and the Blue Dragon form of the mythical beast Fish-Fish Fruit that Kaido ate were actually lost from the Celestial Dragons because of the battle in the Valley of the Gods.
As the user of the Bat Fruit, Stussy has other means besides being able to sense the enemy's movements with her naked eyes and observation Haki!
Stussy's heart was filled with alarm. Without even turning back, her figure quickly turned into a white afterimage and suddenly disappeared from the spot. And just as Stussy's figure disappeared, a blade quickly shot down from the sky and slashed at the spot where Stussy had just been.
After flying several meters away, Stussy's heart was still pounding. She looked up at where she had just been and found that Yoshiichi Tsugikuni, who was supposed to be confronting Henry Everly, actually appeared where she had just stood. The long sword in his left hand had been put back into the sheath, and one hand was around Scarlett and her daughter.
If Stussy had been a little slower, her head would have been torn apart by now.
It was not until now that Stussy finally came to her senses. From the very beginning, Tsugikoku Yuichi's target had always been herself!
"Bear, Mihawk, Yixiao, take the mother and daughter with you, and ask Cyrus and Abel to return to the warship first."
"I'll catch up with you guys soon!"
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi shouted loudly to Yixiao and the others. As he was speaking, Henry Avery came again with a gun, and this time, his target was no longer Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, but Scarlett and her daughter, who were held in front of him.
Henry Avery was extremely fast, and the blood spear turned into a red light and arrived in an instant.
"You're useless!"
Sensing Henry Everly's attack, Ji Guoyuan's expression became fierce, as if he had expected it. He quickly blocked Henry Everly's attack with a knife, and then turned around and chopped Henry Everly's chest with a knife.
Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's sword-drawing speed was countless times faster than before. It was not until Tsugakuni Yoshiichi cut a horrific wound nearly half a meter long on Henry Everly's chest that Henry Everly flew back, and his eyes widened slightly in realization.
"you"
“You bastard.”
Henry Everly flew back several meters, feeling the severe pain in his chest. He lowered his head slightly and quickly glanced at the knife wound on his chest. Then he looked in astonishment at Yuichiro Tsugikoshi who quickly handed Scarlett and Rebecca, mother and daughter, to Yixiao, with disbelief on his face.
"ah--"
But at this time, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi had no time to pay attention to Henry Everly.
Because when Stussy realized that the hostage had been taken away by Jiguo Yuanyi, a blush suddenly appeared on her originally fair face and her mouth opened.
Terrifying sound waves beyond the range of human ears came directly from Stussy's mouth.
Jiguo Yuanyi, Yixiao and others all felt a slight heaviness in their heads, and Scarlett, who was handed over to Yixiao and fell into a coma, had her eyes closed and blood was flowing from her ears and nose.
The same thing happened to young Rebecca, who was also in a coma.
On the stone platform, the prisoners at the entrance of the passage were also caught off guard at this moment. They all felt a heaviness in their heads. Some prisoners with weaker dominance had splitting headaches at this moment. Even Magellan and Cyrus, who were at the wind outlet of the Hungry Hell, were affected by the sound waves. Their heads felt heavy and they involuntarily half-knelt on the ground.
"what happened?!"
Yixiao frowned, feeling unwell, and asked aloud.
Yuichi Tsugakuin's eyes quickly swept over Scarlett and Rebecca, and then his gaze quickly fell on Stussy, who was sitting on the stone platform with her mouth open. Although the sound waves she emitted could not be captured by human ears, Yuichi Tsugakuin still realized at the first moment that it was Stussy's doing.
"Hurry up and take Scarlett and the others away! They can't hold on!"
As Ji Guoyuan spoke, he jumped down from the floating wooden door and swung his sword quickly, launching a black slash directly in the direction of Stussy.
"boom!!!"
Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's slash landed on the stone platform, and suddenly there was a loud noise. In an instant, dust flew up and instantly covered the entire stone platform. Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's figure fell rapidly into the smoke and dust. Not long after Tsugakuin Yoshiichi entered the smoke and dust, several screams were heard in succession.
Stussy's attack was interrupted by Tsugakugo Yuichi. Yixiao, realizing the most important thing at the moment, without hesitation, swiftly levitated the half-plank beneath his feet and flew toward the Hungry Hell vent above. As the wooden door rapidly levitated upward, Mihawk and Kuma leaped onto it one after another.
At the wind outlet, Cyrus had already stood up from the ground. Seeing Yixiao and others flying quickly with Scarlett and her daughter in their arms, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.
But when Yixiao and the others approached, Cyrus's joy suddenly vanished. He hurriedly took Scarlett from Yixiao's hands. Seeing Scarlett and his daughter bleeding from all seven orifices, he couldn't help but panic:
"What's going on?"
"How could this happen? Was it that inexplicable attack just now?!"
Cyrus held Scarlett in his arms, looked at his wife who was breathing in less than out, then looked at the unconscious Rebecca in Yixiao's arms, and his eyes became moist with heartache.
"It must be that inexplicable attack just now."
"Cyrus, let's go back to the ship and let the military doctor treat us."
Xiong also looked at the young Rebecca in Yixiao's arms with some heartache. He was a kind-hearted man and couldn't bear to see such a scene.
“Yes, yes!”
Hearing Xiong's words, Cyrus nodded repeatedly, but he suddenly thought of something. He quickly lowered his head to look at the stone platform surrounded by smoke and dust, and asked anxiously:
"Where's the general?"
"The general isn't leaving?!"
From time to time, the crisp sound of weapons clashing could be heard on the stone platform below. Cyrus had just witnessed the enemy's strength, and at this moment he couldn't help but worry about Tsugikoku Yoshiichi.
"He'll catch up."
"After we send Scarlett and Rebecca to a safe place, if he doesn't come, we'll come back!"
Unlike Cyrus, Mihawk seemed unusually calm. He glanced at Magellan who was standing beside him, picked up Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's seastone scabbard from the ground, and said to Cyrus.
Having said that, Cyrus couldn't help but tighten his arms around Scarlett, took a deep look at the stone platform below, nodded heavily, and then quickly jumped onto the wooden door while holding Scarlett.
Yixiao and the others ignored Magellan who had escaped, and drove the wooden door away quickly, soon disappearing from Magellan's sight.
Magellan withdrew his gaze and looked at the stone platform below.
At this time, the thick smoke and dust surrounding the stone platform had disappeared. On the huge stone platform, there was a horizontal line running through the entire stone platform from top to bottom, and even on the rock wall, there was a knife mark four or five meters wide and dozens of meters long.
On both sides of the stone platform, there were several headless corpses wearing prison uniforms. Just by looking at the bodies, it was impossible to tell the identities of the owners.
As for the other prisoners and Tsugakuni Yoriichi, they were no longer on the stone platform.
“Tattoo.”
In the dim corridor, soft sounds echoed. Under the dim light, Ji Guoyuan walked by with a long knife in his hand. Blood flowed down the blade and gathered at the tip, then dripped onto the ground with a soft sound. This sound could be heard clearly in the quiet corridor.
"Don't waste your energy."
"You can't escape."
"Every move of yours cannot escape my eyes!"
Tsugakuin Yoriichi's voice echoed in the corridor. As soon as he finished speaking, countless blood needles shot out from the darkness ahead, rapidly attacking Tsugakuin Yoriichi.
“Ding! Ding! Ding!”
“.”
But even in such a dim environment, the long sword in Jiguo Yuanyi's hand danced rapidly. In just a breath of time, it was unknown how many times Jiguo Yuanyi had swung the sword. The blood needles attacking Jiguo Yuanyi were all shattered, and a pool of blood was left on the ground in front of Jiguo Yuanyi.
After blocking the attack, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi walked around the pool of blood and continued walking towards the front of the corridor.
Just after Tsugakuin Yoshiichi walked more than a meter away, the pool of blood on the ground silently gathered together and turned into a bloody dagger, which quietly stabbed Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's vest.
