Chapter 196: Red Harbor Attack and Defense

Chapter 196: Red Harbor Attack and Defense (Part )
Unfortunately, the allies of the Seven Great Pirate Groups died before they could accomplish their mission. Except for Dougal and Buck who were lucky enough to be away and escaped, the remaining five pirate captains all became residents of Impel Down.

"Stop talking nonsense! Just kill him! Big Dager!"

Buck said in a low voice with a straight face. He didn't want to be targeted by Borsalino, the naval monster, again.

If they had the idea of ​​avenging their allies and saving people at the same time, then after the end of the War of Marineford, when Borsalino successfully ascended to the throne of the strongest by killing his predecessor with his own hands, the idea that occasionally emerged was completely suppressed by Buck.

"Want to kill me? Then go ahead and try!"

Ghost Spider groaned, wielding his ten sabers like a meat grinder, and rushed towards Buck, the weaker of the two.

He must prioritize and eliminate one of them as quickly as possible, otherwise the consequences of being attacked by two big pirates would be disastrous.

"Black-Black Impact!"

Buck retreated violently, and at the same time, his right hand released a dark shock wave.

As the user of the parahuman Black-Black Fruit, Buck's abilities are almost all related to the color black.

Once the people who fight him are dyed black, they will be subject to various restrictions, gradually lose the ability to resist, and eventually die at Buck's hands.

"Ten Blade Style: Great Tornado!"

The Demon Spider, who had once fallen into Buck's hands, was naturally prepared for the power of the Black-Black Fruit. He twisted his body and spun rapidly like a blender, actually directly deflecting Buck's shock wave attack.

The black army soldiers from all around rushed over to try to stop the ghost spider, but they were easily chopped into dozens of pieces by the rotating blades.

Seeing the ghost spider sweeping in like a tornado, Buck's dark face revealed an uncertain expression.

"Dark Trap·Shroud!"

At some point, the black soldiers chopped into pieces by Ghost Spider turned into a huge "curtain", dyeing the ground under Ghost Spider's feet black.

Under Buck's control, it suddenly jumped up, like a giant cocoon that wrapped the ghost spider completely inside, while the other end was firmly held in Buck's hand.

The toughness of the pitch-black cocoon is quite amazing. From its ever-changing appearance, it is not difficult to see that the ghost spider inside is constantly trying to use the blade to chop open the thing that traps it.

However, Buck, whose bounty is almost comparable to that of Drought Jack, is not the kind of loser who only relies on the power of the devil fruit.

The giant cocoon that faintly reflects the metallic luster is obviously wrapped with the armed color domineering. In addition, the toughness and strength of the "curtain" created by the Black-Black Fruit itself are quite high. Even a swordsman at the level of Iron-Severing will be trapped in it to death.

"Woof hahaha! You're really worthy of being Buck. You got rid of the ghost spider so easily!"

Doug laughed wildly, but secretly he became more alert against Buck.

Originally, he thought that he was stronger than Buck, and wanted to take advantage of this war to recruit Buck as his subordinate, so as to prepare for the future capture of Mary Joa and division of the spoils.

Therefore, when he saw that Ghost Spider took Buck as his main target, Dao Daoge not only did not take the opportunity to attack Ghost Spider, but also planned to rescue Buck in a critical moment so that Buck could realize the gap between them.

But what Doug didn't expect was that Buck's strength was even stronger than he imagined.

At this moment, if Drog were to be trapped in the huge black cocoon that trapped the Ghost Spider, he might not be able to escape unscathed.

Realizing that Buck had been hiding his strength from him, Doug naturally had to be on guard against Buck.

"It's just a second-rate navy..."

Buck pretended to speak calmly, but he couldn't help cursing in his heart.

If possible, Buck didn't want to reveal his strength, but Ghost Spider was determined to get rid of him first, forcing Buck to show his trump card.

I originally thought that with Douglas's personality, he might not be able to react immediately, but I didn't expect that this guy usually pretended to be careless, but was so cautious at the critical moment.

“Woof hahaha, Buck, you are too modest. Now that you have dealt with this troublesome guy, you should kill all the enemies in this area as soon as possible. You have to perform well in front of Lady Esdeath…”

Daug walked over and patted Buck on the shoulder in a friendly manner, but he kept his eyes on all the black things around him, obviously guarding against Buck taking the opportunity to attack him.

"Humph, I would know this without you telling me..."

Before Buck finished his words, a sound of tearing cloth suddenly came from inside the black cocoon. Buck's face changed drastically when he heard the sound.

The next moment, countless dazzling sword lights lit up in the giant black cocoon. The ghost spider that was supposed to be trapped inside, actually waved ten swords wrapped in armed color domineering, chopped into the giant cocoon created by the black-black fruit, and rushed out.

"Ten Blades Style: Breaking Waves!"

Ever since he was captured by pirates, Spider Demon was determined to become stronger at all costs.

For this reason, he, who was once a rare landlubber in the navy, managed to develop an armament domineering ability that surpassed that of an ordinary vice admiral by splitting through huge waves and even tsunamis time and time again, as well as a killing move that could easily kill sea kings.

Faced with the sudden attack of the Ghost Spider, Buck, who possessed a strong observation Haki, was the first to react.

He did not try to resist the attack of the ghost spider, but instead turned into a ball of dark unknown substance and pounced on Dadog beside him.

It just so happened that Dougal's attention was all attracted by the ghost spider, and he didn't have time to stop Buck's actions.

"Damn thing!"

Shocked and angry, Daug subconsciously wanted to tear Buck off his body, but was horrified to find that Buck had merged into his body like his skin.

Moreover, this bastard shrank directly behind him, intending to use Da Douge as a meat shield to avoid Ghost Spider's attack.

For a moment, Doughboy wanted to join forces with Ghost Spider to kill Buck, but Ghost Spider's blade was about to chop down on him, and it was too late to negotiate with Ghost Spider.

"Roar!"

Da Dao Gu, who wanted to tear Buck apart, had to find a way to block the attack of Demon Spider first. As a user of the Animal-type, Dog-Dog Fruit, Beagle form, Da Dao Gu did not have the fancy abilities like Buck.

He was already sturdy, but after he showed the orc form, he turned into a giant man with a dog's head, more than four meters tall, and full of muscles.

Immediately, the pitch-black Armament Haki covered Dougal's entire body. The only thing to be thankful for was that Buck's Black-Black Fruit was not effective against the Armament Haki which was also black.

Otherwise, in this state, Dadog wouldn't even have the ability to resist Buck.

"cut!"

Facing the much taller Dagogo, Ghost Spider still did not hesitate at all, and charged forward without hesitation. The blade wrapped in Armament Haki perfectly demonstrated Ghost Spider's honed swordsmanship, just like he had cut through huge waves and tsunamis countless times before, and cut Dagogo into dozens of pieces of varying sizes.

"Black Thrust!"

Buck, who had hidden behind Dougal to avoid the fatal blow, suddenly launched an attack from the piece of corpse closest to the ghost spider.

"Puff!"

His arm turned into a pitch-black spear, which was stuck at the moment when Ghost Spider's old strength had not yet been exhausted and new strength had not yet been generated. With just one strike, it pierced through Ghost Spider's body.

"What a useless stupid dog! I was thinking I could use him for something else, but you killed him like this..."

Buck glanced at Dadog's body with disdain. He had been pretending to be nice to this stupid dog all this time, but before he could use Dadog, this guy died at the hands of Ghost Spider.

But at least before he died, he helped him create an opportunity to kill the Ghost Spider, so it wasn't like his death was useless.

"Gu... there are seven of us... you are the only one left..."

Ghost Spider slowly raised his head, staring at Buck with his bloodshot eyes.

Being captured by pirates was a lifelong shame for him. If Borsalino had not rescued him and casually mentioned that there were two pirate captains who had not been arrested, the overly proud Spider Demon might have committed suicide.

Of the seven pirate captains who had captured him together, five had been sent to the Deep Sea Prison by Borsalino, leaving only the last two.

Dagou has been chopped into pieces by him, and he must get rid of this last one no matter what!
"Hey! The vitality is really strong... Black Thorn Punishment!"

Seeing that the ghost spider was not yet dead, Buck sneered, and the black spear that pierced through the ghost spider's body instantly sprouted countless thorns, turning the ghost spider's internal organs into a pile of mud.

"...Ten...Blade Style: Demon Spider!"

The Ghost Spider suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, but at the last moment, instead of trying to use the ability of life restoration to save his own life, he raised ten swords as if in a last-ditch effort.

Buck, who sensed what would happen next through his observation Haki, showed a horrified expression, but before he could completely kill the Ghost Spider or find a way to dodge, a large ball of dazzling sword light bloomed in front of him.

The blades of the ten swords slashed Buck's body at the same time without interfering with each other, drawing a pattern of a ghost spider behind him.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

Although he was not chopped into pieces directly, the armed color domineering wrapped around the ten swords completely cut off Buck's last chance of survival.

A large amount of dark liquid gushed out from Buck's back and soon turned into dark red or even bright red blood.

The black color on Buck's body quickly faded away, revealing his true face that had never been seen by anyone.

He turned out to be a handsome young man with a lingering sadness between his eyebrows.

"puff……"

The Ghost Spider, who had desperately killed two powerful enemies, was now at the end of his strength. His vision gradually became blurred, and he began to vomit blood uncontrollably as soon as he opened his mouth.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will die here in no time, but Ghost Spider does not have too many regrets at this moment.

If I had to say something, it would probably be that he failed to kill the last pirate himself, and that he didn't thank Borsalino for saving him.

However, not all members of the Holy Land Guard Corps can be like Ghost Spider, who was able to fight one against two and kill two powerful enemies even when the situation was extremely unfavorable.

Faced with the extremely powerful New World pirates, most of the Holy Land Guard Corps soldiers could only barely delay the time for them to occupy Red Harbor even if they fought desperately.

What's worse is that Sakaski is once again held back by Esdeath and can no longer stop the invasion of pirates from the open sea.

The Holy Land Guard's only numerical advantage was gradually wiped out by the continuous influx of pirates, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before Red Harbor fell.

"Prepare to activate the backup plan..."

Steel Bone Sora, who was in charge of the headquarters, didn't seem to care about the casualties of the Holy Land Guard Corps at all. After watching the pirates of the First Division break through the coastal defense line and pour into Red Harbor like a tide, he just turned around and gave a faint order to the staff officer beside him.

"Wait a moment, please! Excuse me, what is the backup plan?"

At this time, the two deputy legion commanders who served as Cyborg Sora's right-hand men were getting restless because of the heavy casualties among the soldiers of the Holy Land Guard Corps. They became even more restless when they heard that Cyborg Sora had launched a plan that they were unaware of.

They can tolerate the World Government not caring about the casualties of soldiers from allied countries, but they cannot not even know what the World Government is going to do next.

Even if they were mentally prepared to be clay puppets when they became deputy legion commanders, you, Marshal Kong, can't really treat us as air!

"Didn't anyone inform the deputy commanders of the backup plan?"

Cyborg Kong frowned slightly. He indeed did not take the deputy legion commanders seriously, but he would not deliberately target them.

However, after looking around and finding that there were few familiar faces, Cyborg Kong's expression became a little gloomy.

The real elite soldiers and generals had all been transferred to Mary Geoise by the Five Elder Stars, and all that was left for him were newcomers and a bunch of scumbags.

As the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, he did not even have his own team or his usual deputies.

Thinking of this, Cyborg Sora silently made a note of the Five Elder Stars in his heart. If it were the loyal Cyborg Sora back then, he would not care about these small details at all.

But ever since Borsalino used 'pure gold' to arouse Cyborg Sora's greed in just a few words, even the slightest dissatisfaction would make Cyborg Sora alienated from the World Government.

"Well, let me explain it to you..."

Lieutenant General Doberman, who stayed at the command headquarters, saw that the atmosphere was becoming a little heavy, and couldn't help but cough dryly in an attempt to ease the tense atmosphere.

The so-called backup plan is actually very simple. After confirming that the coastal defense line has been lost, all pirates who have invaded Red Port and are landing will be wiped out using the explosive rocks buried under the defense line in advance.

For this reason, the amount of explosive rock must be specially reduced when burying it, otherwise the power may be so great that the entire Red Harbor may be blown up.

"Dynamite Rock?!"

The two deputy commanders from the allied countries were still a little confused, but the guard commander who was originally assigned to serve as deputy commander under Steel Bone Sora could not help but exclaimed.
