If Sengoku doesn't pull back his net soon, I'll become the Pirate King!

Chapter 42 The Domain of Poison

boom--!!

He used his meteor hammer to strike Sebastian, a half-fisherman and half-giant, and retreated to avoid the magic cube created by Guyram's abilities.

Hanafza looked anxiously at the poisonous fog that was drifting further and further away in the distance.

"Give up, that man has absolutely no chance of beating Wald."

Guyram spoke softly, a faint blue arc flashing from the goggles on his face.

"Boss Wald is a Paramecia-type Multiply Fruit user who has multiplied his power."

"He can increase the speed or power of anything by a hundred times, including himself."

"King of Lizards, if it were you, could you avoid an attack that's a hundred times faster?"

Hanafza did not speak.

He simply responded to the attacks with a gloomy face.

"Boss Hanafza, we've come to your aid!"

"Kill those invaders! We have the Redeemer army to help us. Don't be afraid, let them charge first!!"

roar--!!

The roar of the undead caused the pirates of the Wald Pirates to take several steps back.

The rotting face, the missing eyeballs, and the stench that could be smelled from hundreds of meters away.

"It stinks! I don't want to fight with that stuff!"

"Fire! Kill those monsters before they get here!"

Bang-bang--boom...

Muskets and cannons fired simultaneously, and brilliant flashes of light tore a path of carnage.

But firearms that are sure to kill ordinary people are ineffective against the penitents.

Even if their legs are broken and their bodies are blasted apart, as long as they still have limbs that can move, those undead controlled by the poison of Naraku will slowly crawl toward the enemy.

Its rotting eye sockets stared intently at its prey, emitting unintelligible roars.

"do not be afraid!"

Naiqin, wearing a white trench coat, suddenly rushed out from behind the crowd, and medicine packets flew out of her hands and exploded in the sky.

Powders of various colors fell down.

"Traditional Chinese Medicine Poison Mist - Paralysis!"

Those penitents who had been stained with the powder stopped moving after a few seconds.

"We have hundreds, even thousands of penitents. How many medicine packets do you have?"

Laughter could be heard from the Lizard Pirates, who were located at the rear and had not yet joined the battle.

"Even if you can paralyze all these hundreds of redeemers, there are still more redeemers on their way."

"You're doomed, Wald Pirates!"

"You dare attack our Beasts Pirates? You're asking for trouble!"

Seeing more redeemers approaching, Naichen could only organize her companions to retreat temporarily, occasionally taking out medicine packets and throwing them out.

"Gairam, my traditional Chinese medicine can't paralyze so many enemies; they'll recover in half an hour at most!"

"Withdraw in sequence, proceed with Plan B!!"

Guyram's eyes lit up: "Sebastian, we're retreating. Plan B!"

Plan B?

Hanafza stared at the enemy who had suddenly retreated, looking completely bewildered.

"That's weird. And why is Kaido's aura getting farther and farther away? Didn't he say he was just going to meet someone he knew?"

"And given that unstable situation, could there be an even stronger enemy at play?"

Costa, wearing glasses, slowly approached: "Boss, should we give chase? If we let them help the World Destroyers, it will be very bad for Boss Bazel..."

"Do they want to die?"

Hanafza pointed to the circle of poisonous fog that was moving toward the sea.

"Look at the area that the toxic fog has passed through; that level of toxic gas is already a no-go zone for humans."

"I would be very happy if they were willing to go and help the world destroyers."

Costa stared at the cracked ground and the withered, rotting plants, instinctively covering his mouth and nose.

"Stop covering it up, why didn't you do this earlier?"

Even so, Hanafza obediently took out the gas mask he carried with him and put it on.

"Captain, you're so cunning!!"

"That's right, Captain, why do you carry that kind of thing with you all the time!?"

"You don't understand," Hanafza said, waving his index finger from side to side a few times. "Those who have personally fought against Bazel know the importance of gas masks."

"Make way, and the penitent will figure out what tricks the other side is playing."

Half an hour later, the undead recovered from the paralysis and staggered forward.

"That's a terrifying move. Luckily, we're teammates."

Hanafza let the undead walk past him and looked eastward toward the ruins of the Devil's Town.

That was the direction the Wald Pirates were retreating from.

"But don't even think about escaping. Spinosaurus never gives up on its prey..."

……

Meanwhile, in the northwestern forest of Jaya Island.

A purple cloud of poisonous fog slowly moved from the center of the island, leaving desolate landscapes in its wake.

The green plants withered, the earth cracked, and even birds that managed to fly high in time died from inhaling small amounts of poisonous gas.

Then he was resurrected by the poison of Naraku and became a henchman of Bazel.

"It's no use, Bundy Wald."

"You can feel it, right? Your body is getting heavier and heavier, and you can't even see what's in front of you."

Even your domineering aura…

call out--!

The stones, propelled a hundredfold by speed, hurtled towards the source, shattering a cloud of mist.

A hint of surprise flashed in Bazel's eyes; the stone had just been attacked from a distance of 3 meters to his right.

"Did you notice the pattern in my actions? No wonder you're an ability user that even the World Government fears."

"At least you have a good eye."

The constantly moving cloud of poisonous mist is actually the Poison Ivy's ability: Poison Domain.

Centered on the Poison Ivy, it spreads out the strongest poison that Bazel can currently release.

The radius is approximately 3 kilometers.

The closer to the center, the stronger the poison; conversely, the further away, the weaker.

As for the poison debuff after the second gear...

Hallucinations and deep paralysis are newly emerging effects.

In addition to the previously discovered effects such as corrosion and convulsions, even Bazel couldn't help but marvel at the power of the snake venom after fully understanding its current strength.

Once the venom in the body accumulates to a certain level, the enemy will die automatically without Bazeir even having to lift a finger.

This coincides with the hunting habits of most venomous snakes.

It bites its enemy, injects venom, and then waits for the prey to die from the poison.

He has now completed the first two steps.

Now all you need to do is make sure the enemy stays within the range of your Observation Haki, and then adjust your speed and position as needed.

At the edge of the forest, Bondi Wald leaned against a giant coconut tree.

Coughing sounds accompanied by heavy breathing could be heard.

Lower your head.

Looking at his hands, which were covered in festering sores, Bondi Wald showed no sign of despair.

"So it really is poison. It can even affect my Armament Haki."

The jet-black Armament Haki extended from his fingertips to his wrist, but at a much slower speed than before.

"If this continues, the roles of hunter and prey will be reversed. Looks like we have to take a gamble."

"Doubling speed, one hundred times faster".

Breaking through the last cover, I flew towards the sea using moonwalk.

Not far away, Bazel noticed this and narrowed his eyes.

"Trying to use Moonwalk to create an opening for me? But I can do that too... Wait! Toki?! What are you doing here?!"

As Bazel turned around, he happened to see the fully armed Tenzuki Tokima groping his way towards him.

"Is that Bazel? Thank goodness, I've finally found you!"

"I was worried about you, so I thought I'd come and help you, even though I'm a girl."

The blade is drawn.

"I am a swordsman capable of cutting through iron!"

Although Tianyue's face could not be seen behind the mask, her charming tone made the slight complaint that Bazel was about to utter disappear.

"Yes, yes, you are a swordsman capable of cutting through iron. Then I'll have to ask you to fight alongside me this time."

"Hmph~ Since you're begging me like this, I'll just go along with it this once."

"Alright, come here, there's no more poisonous fog around me."

Now that things have come to this, it's impossible for Bazel to drive away the approaching Amatsuki.

If the enemy launches a surprise attack with a speed increase of 100 times, there is no way I can outrun that level of speed.

When the beauty dies, he'll have nowhere to cry.

"Here I am!"

After removing the cumbersome hazmat suit and gas mask, Amatsuki laughed and pounced on Bazel's back.

"I'm sorry, I know I'm just causing you trouble by coming here, but for some reason, I can't help but feel uneasy this time."

"A woman's intuition is an incredibly powerful tool! You really need to pay attention to it."

Here comes the easy question.

If you blame Tianyue at this moment, you will not only not gain anything, but you will also hurt the little heart that likes him.

Bazel knew things had reached a point of no return, and instead of blaming the other person, he should focus on protecting them.

"Then you'd better hold on tight, I'm going to speed up."
