One Piece: One Hundred Ghosts at Night

"evil ways"

It is a rugged road full of thorns. Once a person sets foot on this road, whether he is willing or not.

They are all doomed to be injured by the road full of thorns, and they are staggering forward carrying the pain all over their bodies.

But even so, there are still countless people because of various reasons, either obsession, hatred or...

I chose this difficult and dangerous path.

And the reason why it is so dangerous is that there is still no shortage of swordsmen taking this path throughout the ages.

Naturally, there are reasons for choosing this path.

Although the evil path will endure a hundred times more pain than usual.

But at the end of that evil path, you can still see the strongest light.

And compared with talent, hard work, and perseverance, only one of the three is indispensable to have hope of reaching the end of the road.

The reason why the evil path is called the evil path is because swordsmen who follow the evil path can not only become stronger quickly at a speed far exceeding that of traditional swordsmen, but even those who lack talent, hard work, and perseverance can still have a chance to gain a glimpse of the way of swordsmanship by entering the evil path. The most powerful state.

Of course, this chance is very slim, but for human beings, compared to the slim hope, what is even more frightening is that there is no hope.

After all, not everyone can achieve talent, hard work and perseverance are indispensable.

And Ans El is like this, he has hard work and perseverance, but lacks some talent that would allow him to open the door to a swordsman.

Therefore, Nuliang Liban serves as his guide, the guide of the "evil path".

The slippery ghost is a fantasy monster, and its essence lies in the "mirror flower, water moon".

As one of the few great monsters, he is dream-like and elusive, like a flower reflected in a mirror or a moon floating in water.

That is, a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water. It is a great monster that can make dreams come true.

Although such slick ghosts are very strong, it does not mean that they have no weaknesses. The lack of attack power is the biggest weakness of the slick ghost clan.

As a means of supplementing the lack of attack power, "Kendo" is one of the ways the Slippery Ghost clan can supplement their own lack of attack power.

Therefore, the inheritance of the Slick Ghost left by "Nu Liang Li Ban" deep in his mind is not only the application of the Slick Ghost's demonic power, fear and development of talent.

Among them, there are many swordsmanship schools collected by sly ghosts from past generations.

And among them, most of the swordsmanship schools can definitely be called evil ways among evil ways.

After all, what is evil in the eyes of humans is perfectly normal in the eyes of monsters.

Even many of the swordsmanship schools themselves were not created by humans.

Just like Ans El's appearance at this time.

The evil ghost composed of scarlet gas that enveloped his whole body was, in essence, his own sword intention.

And those scarlet gases are the murderous intent, madness, bloodthirsty and other negative emotions accumulated by Ans Aier after traveling across the South China Sea for so many years, burning, killing and looting.

Using his own negative emotions as food, he feeds his sword intent as if it were a living thing.

This is a very dangerous path even among many evil ways.

Because the vast majority of people who do this will be affected by the sword intent that has become a living thing.

And how could the Sword Intent that feeds on negative emotions be a good product?

Often in the later stages, these sword intentions that use negative emotions as food will not be satisfied with just devouring the negative emotions of the swordsman himself.

Instead, it will bewitch and even directly occupy the swordsman's body, artificially creating one hell after another.

This kind of swordsmanship is so dangerous that even Slippery Ghost, the master of demons and monsters, just puts it on the shelf.

However, although this kind of swordsmanship is extremely evil, it is also extremely dangerous.

Its power is unquestionable.

It's like the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

Once you start getting started with this kind of swordsmanship, your strength will skyrocket like an accelerator. As long as your sword intention continues to swallow negative emotions, your sword intention will continue to grow, almost without limit.

The only limitation is that the swordsman cannot control the growing sword intention, and will be countered by the sword intention, and then destroy himself.

Moreover, not everyone can practice this kind of swordsmanship.

Just the first step, turning the sword's intention into a living being, has already stumped countless people.

After all, the sword intention, which only exists in concepts and does not even exist, is transformed into the consciousness of living things that although it has no form, it does exist.

This kind of evil path can only be created in the world of Slippery Ghost, where hundreds of ghosts are everywhere and everything has spirituality.

But this kind of evil way that should not exist in this world in the first place came to this world for the first time because of Nuliang Liban's whim, as well as Ans Aier's persistence and strong intuition.

Powerful, unimaginably powerful.

Although he was doing it himself, Ansel at this time was more like a puppet possessed by an evil spirit.

You can clearly see the scene in front of you, you can feel the feel of your hand, and you can even clearly smell the strong smell of blood in the air.

It's still so clear even in the rain.

But everything is clear to all senses as never before.

But in this state, Ansel had no control over his body.

But Ansiel didn't panic at all, because this was what he wanted.

In just a few minutes, all the hundreds of marines who had caused him to be in a bitter battle had fallen to the ground.

Standing on the hill where the corpses of the navy were piled up, I thought about the scene just now.

At the moment when the evil ghost took shape, the naval onlookers present fell into a state of shock for a moment, but they quickly recovered.

Immediately afterwards, countless naval forces instinctively made a correct decision regarding this sudden change.

No longer paying attention to Cassius and Camus who had escaped from the encirclement, they instead tried their best to attack this guy who exuded a creepy aura and revealed an unknown character.

Although the navy's judgment is indeed commendable, it is true that the danger level of Ansel in this state is definitely not comparable to what it was just now.

It would definitely be unwise to distract him at this time.

But while their judgment was laudable, the Navy miscalculated a bit.

That was the strength gap between them and Ans Ayer at this time.

Facing the roaring naval soldiers, Ansel, who was haunted by the evil spirit, raised the sword in his hand, and then struck exactly the same as before.

But only Ansel himself understands,

"Different, totally different."

Different from the simple slashing in the past, if the slashing in the past was completely based on the strength of his body and the sharpness of the weapon in his hand, there was not much skill at all.

So the current slashing feels completely different from the previous slashing.

The power and accuracy are completely different.

The feeling of cutting was incredibly smooth, as if the air around him that was originally resistance suddenly came to life, and the original resistance instantly turned into assistance, actively helping him push the knife out.

"So, is this what real slashing looks like?"

Just now that he had such consciousness, before Ansel could react, in the blink of an eye, the evil ghost controlled Ansel's body and turned into a hungry tiger that pounced on the sheep, and began to wreak havoc in the navy.

"Afterimage Slash"

It is a swordsmanship created by Ansel himself. It is a swordsmanship that activates his speed to the extreme in an instant to kill people quickly. Because the speed is too fast, it will even produce afterimages.

Although it sounds very powerful, in fact this technique is more useful for dealing with enemies who are far weaker than you. But once the enemy is not weak, this kind of slash will be easily blocked, and this kind of sword technique is very effective against enemies. The physical exertion is also very high.

So swordsmanship actually doesn't have much effect.

However, this technique became completely different when used by Ansel, who was controlled by the evil ghost.

Compared to Ansel's superb swordsmanship skills, which are completely different, under the urging of Afterimage Slash, countless afterimages spread out from Ansel's body, and then launched attacks in various directions.

The slash that was originally easily blocked became cunning and difficult to block under the control of the evil ghost. Then in an instant, under the rain curtain, blood flowers began to bloom, with almost no resistance at all.

The combination of superb swordsmanship skills and "Afterimage Slash" produced an unexpected effect and became extremely terrifying.

Just like that, in just a few minutes, the once magnificent naval legion ceased to exist because of the appearance of two people.

"It's so powerful. Is this the true strength of Ans Air, the great pirate devil who is famous in the South China Sea?"

"This is too exaggerated."

Looking at Ans Aier, who had eliminated more than a hundred naval forces in just a few minutes, the faces of Cassius and Camus present showed expressions of surprise and joy.

Of course, although I was surprised by Ans Aier's strength, I was more happy to defeat the navy.

However, this joy only lasted for a few seconds, because Ansel, who destroyed the navy, or the scarlet gas that turned into a demon on his body did not dissipate.

On the contrary, it seems that the newly born evil ghost still looks like he is still unfinished, and is not satisfied with the battle of just a few minutes.

So after the destruction of the navy, almost instantly, the evil ghost cast his terrifying sight on the remaining two people present, Cassius and Camus.

"That big brother, Ans El seems to be looking at us."

After swallowing, Ka Xiu said weakly to Camus next to him.

Camus was not happy at all when he heard Card Xiu calling him, and it was rare that he called him eldest brother instead of calling his own name, because every time he was in such a critical situation, Card Xiu would call him eldest brother.

Camus said with a complicated expression,

"If I can, I really never want to hear you call me big brother. Every time you call me big brother, nothing good will happen."

Then he looked at Ansel, who seemed to have an increasingly evil aura around him because he had just killed more than a hundred people.

Perhaps it was because the evil spirit was so strong that even Camus felt frightened when he looked at him, and then he said again,

"Brother, do you think we can run away now?"

"It shouldn't be possible. We seem to be completely targeted by him."

"it is as expected."

Hearing Camus's answer, Ka Xiu had such an expression on his face. He didn't seem surprised and murmured softly.

Although he knew that he might not be able to escape, the tense muscles all over Kaxiu's body and his bent legs, ready to go, meant that Kaxiu did not intend to just sit back and wait for death.

"It's such a big crisis. We were not defeated by the enemy. If we were killed by our own people, it would be really ugly."

He murmured in his mouth that although faced with this kind of life and death crisis, Ka Xiu was indeed very scared, but at the same time he was afraid, and his unwillingness to admit defeat made Ka Xiu not give up easily.

Just when Ka Xiu was about to escape, a huge scarlet slash struck in the direction of the two of them.

Being able to strike with a sword-like force is proof of a swordsman.

This also proves that the moment the evil ghost was born, the gap that stopped Ansel from advancing towards the swordsman no longer existed.

"bang"

A huge noise sounded, which was the sound of sword energy hitting the ground. The smoke dissipated, and a huge slash mark appeared on the originally flat ground.

"so close"

Pulling Camus aside, even with Kaxiu's boldness, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If he hadn't had a bad premonition a second before the sword energy appeared, and escaped from the place in advance, I'm afraid he would be here now. and Camus had turned into a corpse.

But just when Card Xiu and Camus breathed a sigh of relief.

I don't know when, the evil ghost who was not far away suddenly appeared next to Ka Xiu.

Then he raised the knife and dropped it without hesitation.

If this sword falls, I am afraid that Kaxiu's adventure, which has just been out to sea, will come to an end here.

"boom"

Just when the knife was about to fall, suddenly not far from here, under a big tree, a spark flashed, and then a deafening gunshot suddenly sounded.

Then as the gunfire rang out, there was another sound of metal hitting.

"clang"

The projectiles flying from the firearm hit the hilt of Jiavayus's knife with great precision, causing the evil ghost's slash to deflect.

It also saved Ka Xiu's life.

Although Ka Xiu temporarily saved his life, the figure that had been hiding under the big tree was completely exposed.

The evil ghost also turned his attention to the guy who was blocking him.

As if knowing that he had been discovered, he no longer tried to dodge. The owner of the figure walked out gracefully, wearing a long white dress and light orange slightly curly long hair.

Although the whole body was soaked by the rain, the intellectual temperament exuding from the whole body would make people naturally ignore it.

And the burst-fire gunpowder pistol in her hand gave her a slightly dangerous aura.

"This is not possible. Jiavayus is not a sword used to hurt your companions. It exists to protect your companions."

Portkaslujiu held a musket and looked at Ansel who turned into a devil with serious eyes. Although Ansel was full of evil spirit at this time, Portkaslujiu looked completely ignorant. , he directly taught him a lesson.

"It's amazing that you can teach Ansel a lesson in this state."

"Well, to a certain extent, it is indeed very powerful."

The two brothers on the side couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

And the two of them sighed and stood up, not preparing to escape, but,

"Hey, woman, although I'm very grateful to you for saving me, this is not the place you should stay. Run away quickly. My eldest brother and I will hold this guy for a while. You go find Boss Nuliang. Although I don't know what Boss Nuliang is. Have you dealt with the rear admiral, but now he is the only one who can deal with Ans-El."

"Well, although there is nothing we can do, if something happens to you, even if we escape from this guy, that guy Nuliang Liban will definitely make us miserable."

Card Xiu and Camus stood between the evil ghost and Lujiu, then faced the ferocious evil ghost and said to Lujiu who was not far away.

After saying that, the two brothers looked at each other. Although they didn't say anything, the meaning in their eyes was unmistakable, that is, this time they might have to accept death.

Just when the two brothers decided to delay the evil ghost with the consciousness of death, the evil ghost no longer focused on the two brothers and Portkas Lujiu.

Instead, he turned around and looked into the depths of the forest. For the first time, a change appeared on the evil ghost's ferocious face. It was an expression called warning.

Following the evil ghost's line of sight, a graceful figure appeared suddenly in the depths of the forest. Wearing a bamboo hat on his head, his specific appearance could not be seen, but at a glance, he could see that he was a tall figure. An excellent woman. She carries a short sword on her waist and a long sword on her back. She exudes a unique heroic spirit.
