Chapter 27 is all that's left is stubbornness.
Chapter 27 is all that's left is stubbornness.
Just before west Yan's fist struck Bruno, his eyes were filled with confidence.
For users of the Six Styles, the Iron Body technique is a powerful defensive technique, especially the advanced version, Iron Body Steel.
He can even withstand artillery shells using this special physical skill!
But the moment west Yan's fist struck him, Bruno knew he was wrong, terribly wrong.
The opponent's fist was so heavy that Bruno had the illusion that it wasn't a fist that hit him, but a mountain that had smashed into him!
"bump!!"
"Forehead......"
Bruno's brain quickly picked up on the indescribable pain, so intense that his eyes bulged out.
But he knew that if the iron block was broken at this moment, he would die one hundred percent!
Under the immense force, Bruno began to slide backward, rushing out of the corridor and finally coming to a stop just outside the building's main entrance.
Bruno, panting heavily and trembling, stopped and said, "Ha... well... it's nothing more than..."
However, before he could finish speaking, he rolled his eyes, knelt on the ground, and then collapsed unconscious.
"All you've got left is a stubborn mouth," west Yan said. "If I weren't afraid you'd kill me in one hit, you wouldn't even be able to take one of my punches."
Iron block... Don't even mention that this is just a fake; even if it were real iron, I could crush it myself.
"You held back??" Nico Robin asked in surprise.
"Hmm, this guy's Devil Fruit ability is rather unique, and he'll probably be able to use it," west Yan nodded.
Space-type Devil Fruit abilities can have amazing effects if used properly.
"Are you planning to use that guy's Devil Fruit ability to secure your escape route?"
"That's the idea."
"I'm afraid that won't work." Nico Robin shook her head and said, "The condition for a Devil Fruit user to use their power is physical strength. I don't think he has enough physical strength to support us back to Water 7."
"not to mention......"
Nico Robin glanced at Bruno lying on the ground with a complicated expression and said, "You almost beat him to death. Even if he's woken up... how much strength will he have?"
She even doubted whether the other party's ability could last until they left the island, and whether it would fail halfway through, causing them all to fall out of the space and into the sea.
At that point, we'll truly be trapped with nowhere to turn.
"He's pretty useless," west Yan said disdainfully.
Nico Robin: ......
Does west Yan have some misunderstanding about Devil Fruit users?
Devil Fruit users are, in the end, just people with special abilities. But if the person themselves is not capable, then the ability is just so-so.
"It's alright. Even if we can't use him to return to Water Seven, he's still somewhat useful."
"for example?"
"For example, after Sauron and the others finish their battle, you can use this to go outside," west Yan said, pointing towards the Gate of Justice. "Then you can see for yourselves how I stopped the Buster Call."
"At the same time... if a vice admiral targets you, you can use this guy to temporarily avoid danger."
There's one more thing west Yan didn't mention, and that's about the issue of the Navy Admirals!
If that guy shows up, west Yan will need to consider the safety of his companions, and this space-type Devil Fruit user will be very useful.
"Hmm, not a bad idea, but how do you get him to obey?" Nico Robin said. "Aren't you afraid he'll suddenly send us to a warship?"
"Do you think that idiot CP9 officer pressed the button for the Golden Den Den Mushi?"
Nico Robin was taken aback at first, then asked incredulously, "You did this?"
If that's the case, then it makes sense. Otherwise, no matter how stupid that guy is, he wouldn't have launched a Buster Call to destroy their own territory.
This island of justice, which has stood for eight hundred years, is the face of the world government!
"right."
west Yan revealed his Sharingan, pointed to his eyes, and said, "I controlled him with genjutsu, and what I'm going to do now is the same."
As for the other party's injuries, they are easy to treat. I can just use a simple medical ninjutsu to heal him in a moment. As long as I make sure this guy doesn't die, that's fine.
"Such beautiful eyes..."
"beautiful?"
Nico Robin's words startled west Yan for a moment, then he smiled and said, "You're the first person to say that."
"You should know that in the eyes of many people, these eyes represent bad luck."
The Sharingan... it's a bloodline that requires immense mental stimulation to awaken and advance. Basically, anyone who reaches the three-tomoe level has some mental issues.
He wasn't discriminated against only because no one knew he had awakened the Sharingan; otherwise, who knows if Danzo would have targeted him.
Of course, the main reason is that no living person knows he is of mixed race. Before awakening his Sharingan, west Yan himself did not know.
"How could that be?" Nico Robin said with a smile. "These eyes are so beautiful, how could they represent misfortune?"
"It seems the guys you met before were all low-class people."
Nico Robin's words made west Yan's smile even wider.
"It seems we are both people of good taste."
"That's natural."
"Hmm... I'll show you something even better next time."
Nico Robin paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Okay, I'll be watching."
Although she didn't know what west Yan was going to show her, that didn't stop her from looking forward to it.
"Let's go, let's get the key from that guy first," west Yan said. "If it happens to be able to unlock your sea stone handcuffs, you won't have to suffer like this anymore."
"Um."
Nico Robin followed behind west Yan with a smile, feeling a sense of security.
As the two passed through the central hall, they spotted something that resembled a person, causing west Yan to stop and ask, "What... is this thing?"
Why did he feel that the unidentified object leaning against the wall looked somewhat familiar?
"You look familiar," Nico Robin said.
"Cough... Is it... is it Xiyan and Robin?" Sanji said with difficulty.
Clearly, Sanji was not in good condition at this moment due to his Devil Fruit powers and injuries.
"How come this unidentified object is making Sanji's voice?" Xiyan said.
However, judging from the smile on his face, he had clearly recognized who the other person was.
"Damn it, I am Sanji!"
Sanji suddenly felt a surge of strength and looked up, saying, "You...you were clearly laughing the whole time, yet you still say you don't know who I am."
"Not only that, but you also have a beautiful woman by your side. You bastard, I'm so envious!"
west Yan: ......
So, is the important part only after that?
As expected, even after being beaten up like this, Sanji remained as detached as ever.
Shaking his head helplessly, west Yan asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, we just haven't fought before."
"Never played it..."
west Yan frowned. Sanji was not weak. Even if he couldn't beat him, he shouldn't have been defeated so quickly.
Suddenly, an idea popped into my head.
"Is the enemy that woman with glasses?" west Yan said.
west Yan recalled Sanji's so-called chivalrous spirit, such as when Mr. 2 transformed into Nami in Alabasta, Sanji couldn't bring himself to do it.
Sanji didn't speak, but simply lowered his head again without uttering a sound.
"It seems that's most likely the case." west Yan looked up at the high place and said, "We really have met our nemesis."
However, west Yan didn't say anything more. After all, this was Sanji's belief, and he couldn't say anything about it.
"What kind of Devil Fruit ability is this?" Nico Robin asked curiously, looking at Sanji's appearance. "His whole body looks very smooth, like... he's been polished."
"Can you think of a solution?"
"To be honest, without knowing the specific Devil Fruit ability, there's no way to find its weakness," Nico Robin said after thinking for a moment. "But we could try throwing it into the ocean."
The sea is the nemesis of Devil Fruit users; throwing them into the sea might solve the problem.
"Then let's give it a try."
Without saying a word, west Yan grabbed Sanji's leg and dragged him outside. Regardless of whether Sanji wanted to or not, he casually threw him into the sea. Bruno lay not far from west Yan.
After clapping his hands, west Yan looked up at the Gate of Justice in the distance.
That enormous gate of justice is slowly opening!
