One Piece: The Legend of Beasts

The moment he was thrown out, Perospero really thought he was about to die, and his heart seemed to stop beating at this moment.

In a trance, he felt a pair of strong hands holding his waist tightly, the surrounding scenery flew by quickly, and the whole person was pulled to the other side as if flying in the clouds.

When he was gently placed on the ground by the other party, he covered his chest and gasped for several breaths in shock. After a long while, he calmed down and noticed the benefactor who saved him at the critical moment.

"Seiorizu-sister..."

Perospero read the girl's name with a trembling voice, his eyes became moist, and tears as big as beans fell drop by drop onto his stuck out tongue.

"Perostaro, take Compako and run as fast as you can."

Setoorizu turned back and glanced at him, his eyes becoming much gentler at this moment, "I will catch up with you soon."

Perospero was stunned for a moment, then he understood the meaning of her words. He didn't say anything else, just nodded to her, and ran to the alley without saying a word. He reached out to feel his sister's breath, exhaled a long breath, bent down and carried her on his back, and ran quickly towards the back of the street. After running for a distance, he stopped, turned back and looked at Setsu, with some gratitude in his eyes, then quickened his pace again and ran forward, soon disappearing at the end of the street.

Witnessing the entire process of Perospero and Comperte escaping, Roger remained standing there indifferently, without any intention of stepping forward to stop them. Only when the two children's backs gradually went away did he slowly turn his head and his eyes fell on the girl who was staring at him coldly, and said, "You knew it was impossible, but you still lied to them? I can't believe you are really kind." His voice was still cold, giving people the feeling that he had no interest in anything in the world.

“It’s not a question of whether it’s possible or not, but it must be achieved with all our efforts.”

Seorizu's voice was very calm. White mist spewed out of her mouth, lingering around her body in circles. Her light red pupils flashed with a firm light. She said sternly, "This is the agreement I made with my friends who are willing to believe in me! Even if I have to gamble my life, I will stop you here!"

After hearing her decisive answer, Roger raised his eyebrows with interest and gently stroked the narrow blade with his fingers. There was still no expression on his face: "I can see that in the near future, you will regret your stupid remarks at this moment."

"I have never questioned anything I have said."

At this point, the white mist surrounding Setsu became thicker and thicker, gradually spreading in all directions. The raging flames were instantly extinguished the moment they came into contact with the mist, leaving only a thin layer of frost covering the spot.

At the same time, snow-white hair grew visibly on the girl's body, her hands turned into sharp claws, her legs formed reverse joints, and a flaming tail emerged from her back, wrapped around the third long sword tied to her waist and slowly pulled it out of the scabbard. As the tail swayed slightly, the sword pointed straight up into the sky, and the blade flashed a cold light under the light.

"Until I become the general of Wano Country in the future, I will live with the awareness that I will die, because there are still many people waiting for my return!"

Seori Tsu, who had transformed into a human-beast form, tightly grasped the long sword in both hands, crossing them in front of her chest, one in front and one behind. Her eyes were as cold as ice in the severe winter, and her tone was without the slightest hesitation. Every word that came out of her mouth was filled with a heavy sense of power.

"To survive in the face of death? So boring, but..."

Roger clenched the long sword in his hand and casually shook it out in a flower. His eyes were slightly gloomy, and his gaze was like a sharp blade, as if he could see through other people's souls. "A mythical beast that controls cold air? An amazing ability."

Seorizu pursed her lips and stared at the man's every move, not daring to relax at all, and subconsciously clenched her hands holding the long sword tighter.

She knew very well that this was definitely not an opponent she could defeat on her own. The enormous pressure emanating from the opponent made it difficult for her to breathe.

It so happens that the people who can fight with him are not on the Beehive Island.

The only way to preemptively strike him and catch him off guard, and block his range of movement with large-scale cold air, might be to increase the slim chance of winning.

Having made up her mind, Setsu no longer hesitated. She crushed the ground with her feet and leaped into the air with her slender figure. Countless white cold air mixed with ice crystals gathered in her mouth and condensed into an enormous ice ball.

"Wu Attendant Bingya!"

In an instant, an icy and bone-chilling current rolled out, surging down like a flood that broke through a dam, sweeping away everything within the field of vision. Wherever it passed, the air condensed into icy mist, making people feel as if they were in a world of ice and snow that had never melted.

Roger stood still without moving a step. He looked up at the sky, which had turned deep blue due to the rapid drop in temperature. His thin lips parted slightly, and he sighed from the bottom of his heart: "In terms of capabilities, the development was very successful, and it even affected the climate of the island."

At this time, his clothes, hair, and eyebrows were all covered with a layer of frost, but his expression was still calm, as if he would not be shaken even if the sky fell. Facing the cold current that surged like a tide, he just swung the long sword in his hand from bottom to top without any delay.

Along with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, a magnificent crescent-shaped sword energy shot out and flew to the sky at an unusually fast speed. The huge cold wave was split into two in an instant, spreading rapidly to the left and right sides, turning into countless ice crystals and scattered to every corner of the island.

At this moment, a white shadow quickly flashed behind Roger, and two long swords surrounded by white cold air, with a fierce attack, chopped down at his back mercilessly.

Feeling a piercing chill coming from behind, Roger didn't even turn his head and stabbed with his backhand. It was really as fast as lightning and so swift that if the enemy was a little slower in reacting, he would be stabbed through the chest on the spot.

Unexpectedly, the knife missed. Just as he was feeling a little surprised, the white shadow flashed in front of him like a ghost. The long knife in his right hand was wrapped in white waves, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and slashed from the upper left to the lower right.

"Ok?"

Roger opened his eyes slightly, as if he was a little surprised by the enemy's sudden attack. He swung his long sword and swung it along the opponent's attack trajectory.

When the two swords were about to meet, the white shadow disappeared again, so that his powerful sword still missed the target. In an instant, countless white lights shuttled back and forth in all directions, like dancing ice flowers, and crisscrossing ice marks appeared on the ground in an instant, like crystal clear spider webs, tightly surrounding the entire battlefield.

"You realized that you couldn't gain any advantage by fighting head-on, so you chose to use your speed advantage..."

A series of sonic booms rang in his ears, but Roger seemed to have heard nothing of them. He was not moved at all, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently raised slightly, "Interesting, I don't know how many years it has been since I met such an opponent."

As soon as he finished speaking, he grasped the handle of the knife tightly with both hands and placed the blade behind his head, bending his knees slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in his cold eyes.

"what!"

With a loud shout, his body spun violently, and a circular dark red sword energy spread out wildly around him. Buildings within the range were broken into two parts from the cross section, and fell to the ground after a brief pause. Bursts of loud noises rang out one after another, and the rising smoke and dust formed a circle.

At this moment, a white shadow swept over Roger's head at lightning speed, and its entire body spun in the air. Its flaming tail hooked a cold long knife, which hummed and stabbed down towards Roger's head with a sharp sound of wind.

"This knife doesn't seem to be simple."

Staring at the oncoming blade, Roger made his assessment in a calm tone, without stopping his body movements. He pushed hard on the ground with both feet and shot out to the right.

Seeing that her knife missed, the girl quickly turned the blade. With a flash of white light, the long knife drew a graceful semicircular trajectory in the air, sweeping from left to right.

As if he had not expected her to have such a move, Roger was unable to dodge and a cut was made on his clothes on his chest. A circle of frost immediately condensed around it.

"..."

Roger looked down at the tear in his clothes, his angular face gloomy, but the other party didn't give him a chance to breathe and stabbed at him again and again.

This time, he no longer underestimated his opponent just because she was a woman. A dark domineering aura attached to the blade, and he swung the long sword in his hand, bringing gusts of wind, and faced the opponent's attack like a storm.

The two figures were entangled with each other, sword lights and knife shadows intertwined, the two of them fought back and forth like the wind, the sound of weapons clashing was endless, countless sparks were stirred up, black and white shadows shuttled back and forth on the entire street, and all the buildings affected were shattered.

Setsuji kept changing her moves, each movement was smooth and graceful, as if she was dancing an invisible dance. Her beautiful posture hid sharp fangs, and once you were deceived by her confusing dance moves, you would suffer a fatal blow.

Roger brandished the long sword in his hand with agility like a dragon, and each swing was as swift and accurate as thunder, but his face was no longer as calm as before. Every time the opponent stabbed him, it was accompanied by a strong chill. If he had not covered his whole body with a layer of invisible domineering aura to resist, he would have been corroded by the cold air, causing a serious decline in his body functions.

In contrast, the domineering spirit he put into the blade was much less, causing him and Seorizu to fight to a draw. Considering the strong physical strength of animal-type ability users, it would be extremely disadvantageous for him to continue fighting.

One was graceful and agile, the other was powerful and aggressive, leaving a series of blurry afterimages on the ground. If more than half of the people on the street had not been killed or injured, the remaining people would have fled to the town center early. When they saw this dazzling scene, they would have already cheered.

"Accept!"

Seorizu shouted loudly and swung his long tail, with the slender and sharp blade piercing the sky and rushing towards Roger's chest with a sharp sound of breaking through the air. Roger seemed to see the danger of the knife and did not dare to confront it head-on. He jumped backwards, completed several backflips in the air, and landed steadily on the ground, calmly looking at the girl standing right in front of him.

"The game ends here. I will personally send you to the kingdom of death."

Roger said coldly, pouring all the domineering energy in his body into his right hand, holding the long sword tightly behind his head, scarlet lightning flashed and jumped continuously on the blade, and crackling thunder exploded one after another, as if the surrounding space was about to explode.

"god......"

"It's now!"

Before the girl finished her sentence, she raised the long sword in her right hand high up. Suddenly, Roger felt as if his feet were fixed by something and he could not move at all. With it came a piercing coldness that made him shiver. He looked down and saw that his calves were frozen tightly by the ice that spread up from the ground at some point, and the place where he was standing was exactly on the ice mark that was previously cut by Setsu.

"You! Are you waiting for this moment?"

Roger gritted his teeth, and his originally calm face finally became a little anxious. The lightning surrounding the blade also dimmed and disappeared without a trace.

"Hehe! You can't become a qualified warrior just by attacking with all your might!"

Seorizu grinned, revealing two rows of clean white teeth, and used two fingers of her right hand to make a "V" sign.

Over the past three years, while she has been studying swordsmanship diligently, she has also not stopped developing the abilities of the Great Mouth True God. In addition to releasing her own cold air, she can also manipulate the frozen ice surface at will.

She uses high-speed galloping tactics to leave traces of ice and uses quick attacks to lure the enemy into the trap she has set. Once the enemy stays on the ice for a while, she can greatly increase the intensity of the cold air and block the enemy's actions in one go.

"I didn't expect to fall into trouble with a woman..."

Roger stared at her blankly, his tone revealing some reluctance, as if he didn't believe what was happening before his eyes. Before he could think carefully, the cold ice quickly spread from his legs up, freezing his whole body into an ice sculpture.

At the same time, white mist spread over the surface of the rest of the ice marks, which condensed into ice in the blink of an eye and began to accumulate upwards continuously, rapidly stacking up, wrapping up the ice sculpture, and finally forming a huge icicle that soared into the sky.

"Although I have a lot of questions to ask you, it shouldn't be difficult for you to break free with your strength, right? I don't think I have the strength to completely subdue you."

Looking at the vague black shadow in the icicle, Setsu did not dare to slack off at all. Countless white mists gathered on her three long swords, and a layer of white waves covered the blades. The two were intertwined and integrated with each other.

"Seiorizu Sandori-ryu: Drum Dance!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl shot out like an arrow from a bow. The three knives turned over the blades, keeping them parallel to each other, and rushed to the ice pillar. She waved three long knives in her hands at the same time, and with lightning speed, she slashed at the indestructible ice surface together.

Boom!

The icicle was hit by three huge forces at the same time, and ripples appeared on the surface, and a long and dull drum sound was heard. Cracks of varying widths appeared on the ice surface, spreading wildly in all directions, and finally the entire icicle turned into countless ice blocks and collapsed. Countless houses were crushed by the falling ice blocks, and thick black lightning suddenly exploded and raged towards the sky.

The moment the icicle shattered, Setsu jumped back a distance so that she was not affected at all.

"..."

Looking at the countless ice cubes of different sizes not far away, the girl sheathed her knife and turned back into human form. Her body suddenly softened and she staggered forward a few steps. Her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat and she covered her chest, gasping for breath.

“Haaa, haaa… I didn’t expect it would take such a toll on my body! Looks like I overused the air conditioner!”

Setoorizu stared at the pile of broken ice with a pale face, and forced a smile of victory, "Fortunately... I defeated this guy in the end... Although I am a little sorry for his body... But at least I saved this Beehive Island..."

She let out a long breath, turned around and was about to leave when suddenly a calm voice came from behind her.

"Can you explain? Who did you say was defeated?"

--impossible!

When the girl heard the familiar voice, these three words immediately emerged in her mind. A feeling of fear filled her heart, and her hair stood on end, as if she could not breathe at all.

There was no time for Setsu to think at this moment. In the blink of an eye, she turned into a human-beast appearance. She pressed the hilt of the knife with both hands and was about to pull it out. A sharp knife light that was too fast to be seen flashed past her. A blood mark instantly appeared on the part from the chest to the waist, and bright red blood flowers bloomed in the air.

"Varied......"

Seorizu uttered this word with difficulty, staggered back a few steps, and covered his severely injured abdomen. Blood flowed out from the wound, dripping onto the ground, dyeing it a shocking scarlet.

The person standing in front of her was none other than Roger, who had just been defeated by her! He shook the long sword in his hand, flicking off the blood stains on it. His clothes were not damaged at all, and there was no dust on his body. He was completely unscathed, which was very different from his embarrassed appearance just now.

The surrounding ice was covered with a layer of black liquid, which disappeared in an instant. The ice marks on the ground also faded away quickly, visibly to the naked eye, as if these things had never existed.

Roger brandished his long sword and swaggered to stop in front of Seorizu. He looked down at the girl who was half kneeling on the ground and said proudly: "When truth is false, falsehood is true. Let the farce end as soon as possible. The real show has just begun."
