Chapter 194 One Sword Breaks Through
Chapter 194 One Sword Breaks Through
One cannot help but mention the Paramecia-type Devil Fruit—the Barrier-Barrier Fruit, whose defensive power is simply astonishing!
It truly deserves to be called the number one defensive ability in the world of One Piece!
Even Kaido and Big Mom with their steel balloons are a step weaker in terms of defense.
That's absolutely amazing...
At this moment, Aini had used all his skills and revealed all his hidden abilities.
Moreover, he skillfully integrated these special moves, forming an incredibly powerful attack combination.
Even if Kaido, the Beast King, who is known as the strongest creature in the sea, land, and air, were to stand right in front of him, Enni would be absolutely confident that he could break through the opponent's impenetrable defense with his sword and deliver a heavy blow.
However, something unexpected happened: this seemingly impenetrable barrier actually managed to withstand Aini's thunderous attack.
"Click-clack..."
But at that moment, a very faint cracking sound suddenly rang out.
You must understand, this is a battlefield where the fighting is fierce and the sounds of battle are deafening, with all sorts of noises mingling together, making it deafening.
Let alone ordinary people, even a master like Aini with superhuman hearing would be unable to detect such a subtle sound.
However, this does not affect Aini's insight.
He could clearly see a tiny crack quietly appearing on the barrier in front of Kurozumi Seramaru at the core of the collision between the two forces.
Aini's eyes lit up, because the appearance of this crack was a sign of a breach in defenses.
A slight smile crept onto his lips: "It seems it wasn't really blocked after all."
Just as he had expected, this tiny crack seemed to open Pandora's box.
The cracks in the barrier widened considerably in the blink of an eye, growing rapidly at a rate visible to the naked eye. And other cracks began to appear...
Before long, the originally smooth and flat surface of the barrier became covered with a dense network of crisscrossing cracks, as if it were covered by a spider web.
Immediately afterwards, with a crisp "crash," the entire barrier shattered into countless small pieces, like tempered glass struck by a heavy blow, scattering all over the ground.
They vanished into thin air, as if they had never existed.
"How is this possible?" Kurozumi Semamaru exclaimed in surprise.
He hasn't run out of energy yet!
He was only slightly out of breath; to exhaust him, it would take at least two more attacks like that.
But now...
"Pfft..."
Unfortunately, Aini's attack did not disappear after shattering the barrier. Instead, it continued towards him at an extremely fast speed.
Kurozumi Semamaru was hit directly.
Aini's attack could even break through his barrier.
Let alone him?
Under the terrifying power, the "divine bird" pierced right through Kurozumi Semimaru's body. In that instant, Kurozumi Semimaru's eyes lost focus.
The entire body was severed at chest level.
"shave...."
Aini vanished from his spot and reappeared standing in front of Kurozumi Semimaru.
A piece of fruit that had been prepared beforehand was handed over, only to be met with a splatter of blood.
He wouldn't miss out on such a powerful Devil Fruit.
"Hehehehe..."
Enni couldn't help but chuckle, because with this Devil Fruit, he could gain another powerful general under his command. It could even increase his influence within the Navy and even the World Government.
The strongest defense—this isn't just empty boasting.
"This...this..."
Although the Orochi had already escaped quite a distance, it immediately sensed the silence around it. Instinctively, it turned its head to look, but only for a fleeting glance.
He just stood there dumbfounded.
Because what he saw was that Kurozumi Semimaru had been cut in two. And that Marine was standing right next to Kurozumi Semimaru.
Most importantly, at this moment, the navy had already set its sights on him.
What this means is obvious even to a fool.
"Hehehehe..."
Looking at the giant snake, Aini couldn't suppress the smirk on his face.
Kurozumi Orochi's Zoan-type Snake-Snake Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Yamata no Orochi form... This ability, while not as powerful as his Paramecia-type Barrier-Barrier Fruit, is still impressive.
But it is also a rare Devil Fruit.
After all, it is a mythical beast species that is even rarer than nature itself.
Moreover, this ability is quite unique; the user can not only transform into the Yamata no Orochi, but each head also possesses its own consciousness.
In the original work, the eight heads are green, with the middle head being a darker color and resembling the appearance of Kurozumi Orochi, while the other seven heads are similar to dragons.
In this form, Kurozumi Orochi can attack enemies from various angles at different speeds and ranges.
It seems that each head represents a life.
Each time a head is cut off, the snake will lose one head after transformation. Only when all heads are cut off will the giant snake die. Of course, this is just speculation.
This is also the speculation that most people agree with.
However, he had a different theory. After Orochi transforms, isn't the middle head a darker color, still retaining his original physical features?
If so, just cut off the head.
Will he just die?
"shave……"
With a soft shout, Aini's figure flickered and vanished without a trace like a ghost.
The next moment, when everyone caught sight of him again, he had already appeared beside Kurozumi Orochi as if by teleportation.
"what!"
The black charcoal serpent was so frightened by this sudden turn of events that it cried out in shock. Its already gloomy face turned ashen white, completely devoid of any color.
His eyes were wide open, filled with terror, as if he had seen the most terrifying being.
At the same time, despair surged into his heart like a tide, because he knew that the person in front of him who could easily break through the barrier set up by Kurozumi Semimaru was unfathomably strong.
For such a powerful opponent, wouldn't taking his life be an easy task?
He was clearly well aware of his own abilities.
However, as the saying goes, even ants try to survive, let alone Orochi, who is a local overlord.
Even knowing that the opponent is incredibly powerful, anyone will have a strong will to survive when faced with a life-or-death situation.
Therefore, Kurozumi Orochi unhesitatingly unleashed his unique ability—the Yamata no Orochi form.
In an instant, his enormous body began to twist and deform, eventually transforming into a Yamata no Orochi.
Hehehehehe...
Upon seeing this, Aini's lips involuntarily curled up slightly.
His deep, pool-like eyes gleamed with surprise and excitement as he thought to himself, "This guy is actually cooperating so well...this is truly unexpected!"
