Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Adolf vs Holed'em!
The sound of the clash was deafening as Zanpakutō Spring Dust scythe unleashed a powerful strike that sent Holed'em'em reeling back several meters. When he finally came to a stop, blood gushed out from the wound inflicted upon him by the scythe.
The pirates on the deck of the Beasts Pirates ship were stunned by what they had just witnessed. They couldn't believe that a mere patrol member of the Whitebeard Pirates could possess such immense strength to wound their highly respected crewmate. Despite their shock, the pirates didn't dare to speak out of turn, as they knew that Holed'em held a significant position in the Beasts Pirates hierarchy.
Holed'em's anger boiled as he felt humiliated in front of his men. Despite having a gaping wound in his body, he managed to stabilize himself, and his Zoan Devil Fruit power helped him withstand the attack. However, the fact that he was injured by a low-level member of another pirate group was unbearable, especially in front of his own crew.
He couldn't bear the thought of losing face in front of Sasaki-sama, and the idea of being ridiculed by his peers made him seethe with anger. With his killing intent at its peak, he prepared to strike back at his opponent with all his might, determined to regain his lost dignity.
"Kamijiro!" Holed'em yelled.
Upon hearing the command, the lion head on his stomach opened, and ball of fire spewed out, billowing towards Adolf.
"Water Style·Water Dragon Bomb!" Adolf opened his mouth and spit out a water dragon formed by a stream of water.
Holed'em's fireball collided with Adolf's Water Dragon Bomb, and the resulting explosion shook the entire ship.
The flames and water clashed violently, but to everyone's surprise, the water dragon bomb completely suppressed the lion's fireball.
The pirates on the deck were stunned, watching as the water dragon bomb roared towards Holdem.
Holed'em was shocked and quickly jumped to the side to avoid the attack.
Immediately afterwards, the Karakuri Sword in Holed'em's hand was immediately covered with a layer of black Armament Haki!
"The lion's end, sharp blade!" The hard leather boots stomped on the ground, and Holed'em's whole body followed the cover of the fireball in front, and burst out suddenly!
Adolf wasn't done yet, he continued to launch his attacks.
"Water Style·Water Dragon Wave!!"
Another water dragon formed by a stream of water shot out from Adolf's mouth, aiming straight for Holed'em.
Holed'em gritted his teeth and swung his Karakuri Sword , unleashing a sharp gust of wind that sliced through the water dragon wave.
The two attacks cancelled each other out, causing a huge splash of water.
The pirates on the deck were amazed by the power of the two combatants, as they continued to exchange blows.
Sasaki watched from the sidelines with a serious expression, carefully observing Adolf's abilities
Without hesitation, Holed'em charged through the fog and attacked Adolf directly.
"The level of Armament Haki doesn't seem to be as good as mine," Adolf silently observed the thickness of Haki on Holed'em's blade.
Having trained in the comics world for a month, he had improved his Armament Haki significantly. He ignited his energy, and Armament Haki surged from his arm, enveloping the spring dust. With his sword infused with Reiatsu and wrapped in Armament Haki, its attack power was multiplied.
The scythe sliced through the air, and Reiatsu created turbulence, throwing Holed'em off balance. With a loud crash, Holed'em was sent flying and slammed into the ship's bulkhead.
He felt a sharp pain in his stomach and saw a gaping hole oozing blood and organs. Moreover, his lion head was sliced in half, barely hanging on the side. "Um…mmm…puff~" Holdem coughs violently, followed by a series of wet, gurgling sounds. There is a noticeable rasp in his breathing, and he let out a low groan as they spit out a mouthful of blood. blood mixed with internal organs, thoroughly humiliated.
The sound of coughing up blood echoed through the air as Holed'em flew backward and crashed into the ship's bulkhead.
Adolf looked at his opponent with a calm expression, as if he had expected the outcome. Holed'em, on the other hand, was in agony, feeling the pain of his injuries and the shame of being defeated by an outsider.
Despite this, he managed to force out a few words through gritted teeth. "You...you...you!" Holed'em glared at Adolf with hatred and resentment, unable to come to terms with his defeat.
Adolf simply raised an eyebrow, unimpressed by Holed'em's reaction. "Is that all you have to say?" he asked coolly. "I'm not interested in fighting weak opponents."
Holed'em's face twisted in rage as he struggled to stand up. "You...you think you've won?!" he snarled. "I'll make you pay for this!"
Adolf's expression remained unchanged as he watched Holed'em stagger towards him. "You're welcome to try," he said calmly. "But I warn you, it won't end well for you."
Gin standing next to him also had an expression of expectation.
They were both aware of the immense power their comic abilities provided, and losing to a single attack from a member of the Beasts Pirates would be a disgrace to their captain, Majima.
The Beasts Pirates were completely stunned by the outcome of the battle. Despite Holed'em's initial injury due to carelessness, his full-powered attack was completely suppressed by Adolf, who was just a low-level patrol member of the Whitebeard Pirates.
This was a crushing defeat for the Beasts Pirates, especially given that Holed'em was known for his strength even among them.
"You idiot! You can't even handle a weakling like him! When we get back, you're done for!" Sasaki yelled in anger as he stood up.
Sasaki realized that he had relied on Holdem to take care of the situation, but it only made things worse. He was getting angrier and angrier, and if he didn't act soon, he might explode.
He couldn't believe that he had to personally take care of a small fry like Adolf. If news of this incident were to spread, he would be humiliated.
He gripped the handle of his sword tightly and glared at Adolf with a cold expression.
