Pirate Bloody Hand Mary

"when……"

Crocodile didn't even need to look to know who the cold and piercing murderous intent behind him came from.

He was too familiar with it. When he and Mary were one-on-one a few days ago, he fought with this murderous intent!

When he thought of the flaming blade before, Crocodile's heart tightened. Several vital points in his body instantly became elemental, ready to spread out to avoid the attack of the fire knife.

However, Crocodile did not feel the scorching temperature, but instead grabbed his shoulder with a hand.

Oops, my thinking is fixed!

Crocodile was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses, suddenly in a panic.

Crocodile's previous record of cutting off his arm with one knife and almost decapitating him with another knife left a deep psychological shadow on Mary's black flames. So much so that when Mary got close, his first reaction was to use elements to dodge the knife, but he forgot about Mary's best fighting method - blood control!

But that's okay.

Crocodile's eyes turned cold.

I am no longer what I used to be. If you come close to me... you are seeking death!

Crocodile reacted and immediately opened the dry field for protection, but the soil of the dead had just erupted, and the release of this dry field was a little slower.

At the same time, Crocodile immediately pulled away, trying to distance himself.

In any case, being entangled by a lunatic like Mary, who has an extremely wild fighting style, Crocodile is an absolute disadvantage in close combat!

However, Mary is fierce!

Every opportunity is hard-won, and it gets harder and harder to get later. Any chance you get to get close... you have to do your best!

Steam began to escape from Mary's body, which was the characteristic of the Blood-Bad Technique being pushed to its extreme. Mary's blood flow rate was countless times faster than that of ordinary people, and her blood began to boil!

With all his strength, Crocodile even pulled away and retreated, but Mary finally caught the intact hand!

"Damn it..." Crocodile looked at this scene with eyes wide open and roared: "Wither it!"

White light burst out, and Mary's body dried up almost instantly and began to turn into yellow sand inch by inch. Then it recovered instantly in the complicated and horrified eyes of Smoker and Crocodile, and the cycle continued.

But Mary always held on to Crocodile. Even if her hand was turned into yellow sand, it would recover in the blink of an eye, leaving no chance for Crocodile to break free.

Blood spurted out from her hands and flowed on Crocodile's arm. Crocodile kept activating the drying aperture to make the blood disappear, but Mary kept producing blood, and even caused the entire body to explode to supply blood.

This desperate style of play made Crocodile complain endlessly. He also needed reaction time to activate the dry spell. Mary's wave after wave of explosions without any gaps left him completely too late to respond.

Being attacked crazily by Mary also angered Crocodile. Thinking of the big losses he suffered at Mary's hands, he couldn't help but feel anger rising in his heart.

“Then come and spend it!!!”

Crocodile roared angrily and no longer pulled away, but instead used all his strength to fight with Mary.

Mary controlled the blood stained by Crocodile, turned into a bloody knife, pierced Crocodile's body desperately, and extended all the way up Crocodile's arm.

Mary's blood soaked in Crocodile's veins, constantly piercing it and destroying his arm. At the same time, it quickly approached Crocodile's heart along his blood vessels.

The dry barrier on Crocodile's body also kept flashing. Mary's body was drained and regenerated again and again. If it were not inside Crocodile, there was too little blood belonging to Mary. Mary would have wanted to be directly in Crocodile's body. Regeneration will burst him to pieces!

The confrontation between the two reached a fever pitch within a few seconds. Mary's life force was consumed at an alarming rate. In just a few seconds, a trace of white hair appeared on her forehead as she continued to dry up and regenerate.

This is when Mary's life force begins to overdraw.

But she still clutched Crocodile's hand tightly, continued to pump out her blood, and gritted her teeth to persist. Blood Bad had been shut down long before the first dry spell, but Mary still wasn't left behind!

Crocodile was not having a good time either. The lower part of his arm had been almost torn to pieces by Mary's bloody knife. Feeling the excruciating pain in his arm, Crocodile understood that even if he took his hand out now, his hand would be useless forever.

But this only aroused his ferocity even more. Crocodile was not a good person in the first place, and he suffered heavy losses at the hands of Mary. At this time, Crocodile was like a wounded lion. Not only did he not show any signs of weakness, his momentum became even stronger!

Suddenly, Mary's output force suddenly increased, and the blood in the blood vessels of Crocodile's arm suddenly accelerated, and it was about to approach Crocodile's heart.

Crocodile also felt something abnormal, and subconsciously wanted to dry it up in his body, cleaning up a whole patch of blood.

“Don’t even think about it!!!”

Mary shouted loudly, and her long-planned domineering aura erupted at an extremely close distance, almost face to face. The huge impact made Crocodile's brain go blank for a moment!

The jet-black overlord-colored domineering energy that exploded with full force swept out uncontrollably, and even Ace and Smoker were shaken by the force.

When Crocodile came back to his senses, Mary's blood had climbed to the position close to the shoulder blades. If it breaks out and dries up at this time, Crocodile, who is still unfamiliar with control, may be affected by this force and affect his heart.

Crocodile, realizing the stakes, barely hesitated for a moment. The arm of the sand that was not stained by blood turned into a sand knife and cut his shoulder in two!

Seeing such cruelty, Mary and the other three were stunned, but Crocodile just turned pale and flew high like an eagle freed from its restraints!

After breaking her arm, Mary was now unable to restrain him.

His eyes were piercing, and he struck the stunned Mary with a thunderous blow!

"Sha Shigure!"

"not good!"

At the critical moment, Ace, who was experienced in combat, was the first to react. Seeing Mary in mid-air, who had lost her blood and had no place to focus, he gritted his teeth and could only use his fastest and roughest attack method to forcefully hit Mary.

"fire punch!"

One hand turned into a fire fist and flew out, and Ace smashed Mary out of Crocodile's attack range as quickly as possible!

"heavy smoker!"

Ignoring the slightly insulting nickname, Ace roared and Smoker took action boldly. A white vine directly grabbed Mary out of Crocodile's grasp. In the blink of an eye, both of them reached a reaction speed far beyond normal.

Immediately afterwards, Smoker looked at the aging Mary, knowing that the consumption of this attack on Mary had caused her to temporarily lose her ability to fight.

Ace violently swung a flame to temporarily block Crocodile's ferocious attack. His physical strength had been exhausted too much. After throwing out a punch, he leaned on his knees and gasped for air.

After calming down, Smoker immediately said to Mary:

"Mary, you go to the back to recover first, as soon as possible in any way! Ace and I will help you delay time, and when you come back..."

After that, Smog didn't know what to say. The decisiveness and strength shown by Crocodile now made him a little helpless. He could only grit his teeth and said a little resignedly:

"When you recover, we will find a solution!"

After that, regardless of Mary's reaction, he directly used smoke to send Mary, who had taken a breath and temporarily lost her strength, to the rear.

He turned around and shouted to Ace:

"Ace, let's take this guy to another place first!"

Ace took a deep breath, straightened up again, and nodded heavily to Smoker.

Even now, Ace's mood has become extremely heavy and he can no longer laugh.

…

"Plop!"

The white smoke dragged Mary far and wide before gradually dissipating, and Mary fell weakly to the ground.

As Smoker said, although this life-for-life style of play caused the greatest damage to Crocodile so far, it also caused Mary to lose almost all her vitality and completely lose her fighting ability. .

Even Bawang Se Haki was forced to shut down.

It's really a life for half a life.

Mary endured the severe pain from her bones that seemed to be falling apart, and stood up silently.

My brain is a little dizzy...my eyes are a little black...

Mary struggled to move in the heavy rain, a little wobbly, and now she was looking for some trees to absorb the life force.

With difficulty, Mary raised her head and looked around, but found that there were no green plants in sight.

...Mary wanted to curse a little bit.

Just as Mary moved her body to look for an object that could absorb life force, a blue figure appeared in front of her.

She gently supported the swaying Mary.

Mary looked at the figure in front of her and was slightly stunned.

"...Weiwei?"

The figure that was least likely to appear on this fierce battlefield appeared in front of Mary so realistically that she felt as if she was dreaming.

Weiwei pursed her lips and said:

"Don't ask so many questions first. Get out of here quickly. We'll talk about it later."

"Colonel Tina is helping me organize the personnel to evacuate. I was worried and came over."

"Originally, I just planned to watch from a distance and retreat as soon as there was a problem. I didn't expect that I saw you being thrown out, Mary, just as I came here."

"Maybe this is fate."

Mary wanted to complain at this time, but her tired body made her not even in the mood to complain.

He could only breathe weakly, and was slowly moved to a safe area by Weiwei, half carrying and half pulling him.

Smoker and Ace had already led Crocodile away in another direction.

"Hoo, ho..."

After walking into a building and looking for a window, Weiwei carefully put Mary down against a wall by the window and let her rest there.

Weiwei looked at the aged Mary and thought of something.

Withered bodies...those sand pirates?

Weiwei looked at Mary, who was breathing weakly, and the suspicion she had always had in her heart was finally verified.

Sure enough... Mary's terrifying power comes largely from her vitality...

Moreover, Mary can also absorb the vitality of others to fight. Those sand thieves were killed by Mary draining their vitality.

Thinking of this, Weiwei closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then opened her eyes and looked at Mary.

"Your Excellency Mary...can my life force help you?"

As soon as these words came out of her mouth, Mary was stunned.

She looked at Weiwei with firm eyes, a little lost in thought.

After a while, looking at Weiwei with a determined look, she said in a somewhat puzzled tone:

"You know my ability?"

"Guessed it."

"Then why...you want to give me your own life force?"

Weiwei smiled and said:

"I once said that I could give my life for my country. But now, you are more useful than me. My life force is worth more to you."

"This is the reason why I gave my life force to you. I believe you can use my life force better than me."

Weiwei's pure and clear gaze made Mary, who had always had a charity attitude toward Weiwei, look at the girl in front of her who had awakened the power of overlord for the first time.

...Mary thought he might understand why, Weiwei was able to awaken her overlord color.

This awareness of sacrificing one's life for the people is indeed enough.

Thinking of this, she smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"No, my Life Fruit cannot be absorbed by anyone else's life force."

"You said you wanted to give me your life force, but I may not be able to absorb your life force yet."

This is Mary's biggest problem now.

She can now absorb the life force of all unconscious life forms, as well as the life force of people who suffer from mental breakdown, but Weiwei is obviously not in the category of these two.

Of course, Mary can also knock Weiwei unconscious and absorb the life force, but in this case Mary has no way of judging how much life force she has absorbed from Weiwei. What if she sucks Weiwei to death...

Needless to say, this is bound to become Mary’s inner demon.

"Maybe..."

Who knows, when Weiwei heard this, she just smiled helplessly and said, "Your Excellency Mary, who would know if you don't try this kind of thing? You might as well try to absorb my life force."

Mary looked at the smile on Weiwei's face and fell silent for a moment, then reached out and held Weiwei's hand.

The ability of the Life Fruit is activated.

At this moment, a warm trickle of life force slowly poured into Mary's body from her arms.

Mary's expression suddenly froze. After a while, she suddenly woke up and subconsciously pulled her hand out of Weiwei's hand.

However, Weiwei suddenly held Mary's hand tightly at this moment. When Mary's hand strength made her unable to hold on, she directly pressed her body against Mary's body, and the two hugged each other face to face.

If she can't break away, it's like Mary is directly cut off from the fruit of life. However, Weiwei seemed to know this unexpectedly and whispered in Mary's ear:

"Don't stop, Lady Mary. This is my decision."

Mary's movements froze and she murmured in a daze:

"You just...believe me that much?"

Mary, who had always regarded herself as righteous, no longer mentioned the word in front of Weiwei, but looked at Weiwei with slightly moved eyes, who gently rested her head on her shoulder.

"Since you know what my ability is, you should also know how many people I have killed for this life force..."

You know, many sand pirates were sucked dry in front of Weiwei's eyes. And this act was considered justice...even in Mary's opinion, it was a bit too forced.

In her opinion, this is more like a compromise with her own heart.

Therefore, facing Weiwei who believed in her unconditionally, Mary hesitated.

"Even so, are you... willing to believe me like this?"

"Of course I believe it..."

Weiwei's voice was as thin as a mosquito's fly, but decisive.

"Because Lady Mary is a good person."

"Although Lady Mary, you once said that you came to help Alabasta because of me."

"But Lord Mary, have you ever thought about why you admire me?"

After a pause, Weiwei smiled sadly.

"You came to help me because of my kindness. But why would you help me because of your kindness?"

"Your Excellency Mary, there is kindness hidden in your heart that even you don't know about. I think this is the real reason why you came to help me."

"The sense of justice that comes from your heart drives you. So no matter how bloody your actions seem, I am willing to believe you and put my life, and the lives of all the people of Alabasta... in your hands. In hand."

Weiwei's words were bland, but very resonant.

Mary looked forward a little distractedly, feeling a little confused for the first time.

Do I really...have the kind of image that Weiwei has in her heart?

Traveling back several months, in order to earn fear points, Mary had been killing with such brutality that there was a trace of blood when she walked.

However, Weiwei's words at this time made Mary recall something again.

Something she had somewhat forgotten over the past few months.

The sleeping [sub-personality] that had been suppressed by the [main personality] slowly awakened.

A severe headache suddenly interrupted Mary's thoughts. She suppressed her thoughts that started to become a little chaotic and whispered;

"Is someone like me... really worthy?"

Thinking back on his crazy behavior over the past few months, it now seems like he was manipulated by the system.

It seems embarrassing now.

"Even so, I killed many people, killed many people, and used violence to fight violence..."

"Isn't it too despicable to use just ends as an excuse for brutal means?"

The [sub-personality] in Mary's heart gradually awakened. Without the suppression of the bloody heart, as soon as the [sub-personality] emerged, she was oppressed by a strong sense of guilt and became breathless.

It was only then that Mary discovered that she was very fragile. It's just that the blood-killing heart made her ignore her own conscience, allowing her to kill the evil people she hated with peace of mind.

But this kind of dark justice can hardly be called the correct behavior in terms of his original three views.

The awakening of [sub-personality] made Mary even more shaken. In a critical situation, the sudden and fierce conflict between [main personality] and [sub-personality] seemed extremely inappropriate at this time.

But... who knows if this is the most correct time?

Mary's headache became more and more severe, and it was difficult to control it even if she covered her head. The pain almost made Mary's expression completely distorted.

However, the next moment, Weiwei's scolding like thunder roared in Mary's ears, making Mary forget all the pain.

"Even so, it's not Lady Mary's fault!"

Weiwei suddenly shouted angrily, and that heart-wrenching scolding interrupted Mary's self-blame.

"I once learned from my father that I should do my best to save everyone who can be saved."

"Mary, please think about it, with everything you did, did you kill more people or save more people?"

"I once thought about saving everyone, but reality tells me that this is just an ideal like a dream!"

"Human abilities are limited, and I can only save a limited number of people. I can only choose to focus on my people instead of the people in Baroque Studio!"

"And Sir Mary, think about it carefully, what you are doing is just trying your best to save as many people as possible!"

"The pirates and sand pirates you killed, if you let them go, more people may suffer!"

"If you hadn't absorbed the vitality of those sand pirates, you wouldn't be Crocodile's opponent, and the entire Kingdom of Alabasta would be in disaster!"

"Everything you do is just working towards the goal of saving more people and saving more good people!!!"

Vivi held Mary harder and harder, and the confrontation between Mary's two personalities suddenly stopped. At the same time, the third hidden personality originating from the original owner of this body slowly emerged. .

However, this personality did not make Mary feel any discomfort. On the contrary, it was like comforting, making Mary feel calmer.

But even so, Mary Tong Kong's vibrations became more and more intense.

Is this why... Weiwei is willing to give me her life force?

Is this really what I think in my heart?

"Your Excellency Mary, you gave me a helping hand when I was most helpless, didn't you?"

Weiwei's tone gradually became soothing, her skin gradually lost its luster, and her hair began to turn white.

"In the final analysis, you have been fighting for me, for kindness and justice."

"I think--"

Weiwei smiled again, that ordinary smile contained incredible power.

“You can be more proud of that.”
