Pirates, Start with the vampire fruit and rescue the empress

Kingdom of Dressrosa, Avenue of Lovers.

Sephiroth, who was wearing a navy uniform, had his hands in his trouser pockets and was shopping boredly.

All kinds of flowers were planted on both sides of the lively streets, and the fragrance of the flowers lingered in his nose.

Sephiroth looked at the couples on the street who were in love, and he felt that he, alone and alone, was out of place here.

He walked a few steps faster, wanting to get out of here quickly…

After settling in the palace, the military cadets were told by Zefa that they had half a day of free time in the afternoon and could go around freely.

However, starting from tomorrow, they will enter a state of preparation to deal with the pirate alliance that may appear at any time.

After learning that they still had a precious half-day vacation, the military cadets rushed out of the palace with cheers and couldn’t wait to visit the “Land of Love and Passion”.

Among them, a large number of military students rushed towards the bullfighting arena, wanting to see the gladiators competing.

After much thought, Sephiroth couldn’t understand the meaning of watching gladiators fight…

Those guys are not top-level experts, and there is basically nothing they can learn from in terms of combat skills.

Moreover, the current gladiator competition in Dressrosa is not as cruel and bloody as when Doflamingo was in power, and the content is not very exciting.

Nowadays, gladiators use unedged weapons. Their purpose is to hone their swordsmanship and fighting. Even if they fail, they will not die. At most, they will leave some wounds on their bodies, which means they will be interrupted. hands and feet.

With the perverted physical fitness of the average person in the One Piece world, even if the bones are broken, after a few weeks of training, the physical condition will be almost restored!

However, recovery does not mean that there will be no hidden wounds and hidden diseases. When they get old and weak, these things will gradually eat up their bodies like maggots attached to their bones…

Suddenly!

“Um……!?”

Sephiroth’s steps paused slightly. He split off the bats that were surveying the terrain of Dressrosa. In the vision passed to him, one of the bats saw two pirate ships!

…………

Dressrosa South Coast.

On the messy pier, the crowd had completely fallen into chaos and panic, and many people had fallen to the ground not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

“Oops! Lord Scarlet has been kidnapped!!!”

“It’s a pirate!”

“Where are the guards!?”

“They were all killed by pirates!”

“Something is going wrong!!! Someone come quickly!!!”

“Her Royal Highness the Princess has been kidnapped!”

Click!

In the slightly shocked eyes of the people around, the blade of a long knife suddenly appeared in the air, cutting open a space door.

A silver-haired young man wearing a navy uniform with an eerily handsome appearance, holding a long knife, pushed open the air door and walked out.

Looking at the two pirate ships sailing out on the sea, Sephiroth murmured:

“At this distance… I can still perceive the sight, smell and color…”

Then, he quickly swung the long knife in his hand, cut open an air door, quickly opened the door and walked in.

Sephiroth doesn’t care about exposing the Gate Fruit’s ability. Such unscrupulous use of the ability can instead serve as a cover for his Vampire Fruit…

After all, the butcher knife has been in the navy’s warehouse for decades, and it has been tried to be used by others, so many people know that this is a very difficult demon knife to master…

Vegapunk, chief scientist of the Navy, his technology for merging Devil Fruits is still at the stage of merging weapons with animal-type fruits, and he has no clue yet about the fusion of superhuman-type fruits and weapons.

Therefore, no one would have thought that the spatial ability displayed by Sephiroth actually came from the butcher knife, but everyone would subconsciously think that it was his own Devil Fruit power under their inherent concepts.

In this way, Sephiroth achieved the effect of confusing the audience, and he never revealed his special abilities of sucking blood and taking away life force in front of others.

Unless someone is very familiar with the vampire fruit, it is difficult for anyone to know what kind of ability he is…

…………

On the turbulent blue sea, on the deck of one of the pirate ships.

Scarlett, who was wearing a pink dress and tied her long pink hair into a ponytail, looked at the ferociously smiling pirates on the deck of the ship with an uneasy expression on her face.

The figure of the pink-haired girl with a single ponytail receded slightly and leaned against the edge of the boat. Her eyes subconsciously looked towards the sea.

Very obvious

However, Scarlet was not willing to be kidnapped by the pirates, and she had already had the idea of ​​​​jumping into the sea to escape…

“Be honest with me!”

One of the pirates standing on the deck instantly saw what the pink-haired girl was thinking. He quickly grabbed the girl’s wrist and pulled the latter, causing her to stagger a distance away from the edge of the ship.

“Let me go!”

Scarlet struggled desperately. She scratched the back of the pirate’s hand with her nails, causing the pirate to feel pain and let go of her.

Seeing this situation, all the pirates raised their weapons one after another, including long knives, long swords, daggers, and pistols, forcing the pink-haired girl not to dare to act rashly.

“No one will come to save you anyway…”

“How about we use her to blackmail King Riku first, and then sell her directly!”

“Hehehe! This is such a good idea!”

“That’s right! That’s right! This genuine princess can definitely be sold for a lot of money!”

“The seven captains will definitely reward us heavily…”

Just as Scarlet was thinking about whether to risk his own life or jump into the sea to escape…

Click!

An air door suddenly appeared on the deck out of thin air. A silver-haired boy with an eerily handsome appearance, holding a long knife, stepped out of the world inside the door.

“Hey, hey, hey! You low-level pirates can only bully a weak girl?”

A sneer appeared on the corner of Sephiroth’s mouth, and his tone was full of contempt.

“It’s a devil fruit user!”

“Kill him!”

boom! boom! boom! …

Gunshots rang out one after another, and Sephiroth dodged most of the bullets as if he was just strolling around. Those who couldn’t dodge were chopped open with a long knife.

However……

Seeing this scene, one of the pirates on the deck of the ship became so cruel that he shot the pink-haired girl.

Holy shit!

Sephiroth cursed in his heart, and he immediately dodged and stood in front of Scarlet.

boom!

A blood flower exploded on the chest of the silver-haired boy, dyeing the white navy uniform bright red.

Seeing this situation, the pirates immediately followed suit and shot at the pink-haired girl repeatedly, making Sephiroth unable to dodge. He could only use his body to catch the bullets that could not be blocked by the long knife.

Although Sephiroth can use Armed Haki to cover his whole body and increase his defense, this approach will also greatly reduce the defensive strength of Armed Haki…

At that time, his Armed Color Haki can only reduce the kinetic energy of the bullet so that the wound caused by it will not be so deep.

This approach is completely unnecessary for him who has super-speed regeneration!

Instead of doing this useless work, he might as well keep his armed color Haki to strengthen his attacks.

In fact, after all, the time for Sephiroth to practice Armed Haki was too short. In just half a year, his Armed Haki quality was not strong enough to ignore bullets…

“No! Stop it! Stop it!!!”

Scarlett burst into tears when she saw this young man she had never met before, using his body to block all the bullets for her in order to save her.

Waves of self-blame and guilt flooded into her heart.

Sephiroth looked at the seven gunshot wounds on his body and muttered to himself:

“As expected!…Compared to protecting others…I seem to be more suitable for killing…”

The current situation is not suitable for using a knife to open the door and escape…

The door fruit ability of the Butcher’s Knife can only open the door in front of Sephiroth where the tip of the knife touches it, but cannot open the door in front of Sephiroth where he can’t see it.

Therefore, he could not divert the bullets fired towards Sephiroth by opening the door, and when he opened the door, those bullets would not be affected at all, leaving bloody holes in the pink-haired girl’s body.

Scarlett was not as tough-minded as him. Maybe one shot hit the vital point and died on the spot…

Thinking of this, Sephiroth could only quickly sheath the sword, turn around, hug the pink-haired girl with both hands in the posture of a princess.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of black flesh wings spread out from his back, and he stepped on the ship deck with his right foot, leading Scarlett into the air.

Sephiroth is also very helpless about the fact that he can only cut the air door with a knife.

Recently, he has been thinking about other ways to open doors, such as folding doors, space wormhole erosion, etc.

However……

All this cannot be avoided

The micro-manipulation of his ability to open pairs, his half-developed skills, are not yet ready for practical use. He still needs to go through a long period of training…

Scarlet was hugged in her arms. When she saw Sephiroth’s white navy suit stained red with blood, she suddenly panicked and said:

“Ahhh! Mr. Marine, your wound doesn’t matter!”

“Fortunately, I won’t die…it just hurts a little!”

Amidst the hail of bullets, Sephiroth hugged the pink-haired girl and quickly flew to the south coast of Dressrosa. After putting her down, he was about to turn around and leave.

“Wait a minute! Mr. Navy, don’t go any further and deal with the wound first!”

Scarlet quickly reached out and grabbed the silver-haired boy’s wrist, her tone full of urgency.

“I’m really fine…don’t worry!”

As he spoke, Sephiroth’s body split into a group of black bats and rushed towards the two pirate ships on the distant sea. More than a dozen blood-stained bullet heads fell to the ground with a “crash!” The pink-haired girl was stunned for a while.

After Sephiroth reorganized his body, he sprinted through the air and returned to the pirate ship in just a few breaths.

“Hey! Pirates, now… the second round… begins!”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Sephiroth’s mouth, and he pulled out the butcher knife hanging from his waist.

next moment.

The cold sword light flashed continuously, and with lightning speed, he cut down each pirate on the deck with his body like a ghost.

Halfway through the killing, he suddenly remembered that these guys might be related to the Laoshizi Pirate Alliance, and he had to keep them alive to interrogate them for relevant information.

Therefore, he had no choice but to sheath the sword again and fight with bare hands, with dark armed domineering wrapped around his hands.

Like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep, Sephiroth almost punched a child, beating the pirates until their muscles and bones were broken, they lost consciousness, and passed out directly.

After quickly finishing off the pirate ship and dropping the anchor, he spread his flesh wings and caught up with another pirate ship that had gone away. He followed the same pattern and knocked down all the pirates on it. .
