Chapter 632: Dividing Forces to Pursue the Enemy!
Usopp's tracking compass vibrated wildly.
hum.
The watch face emitted a faint, mournful sound.
Usopp suddenly looked down, his face drained of all color.
The compass has three red lights, but only two remain.
The red light on that layer flickered, as if it might stop breathing at any moment.
He ripped the compass off and held it high.
Look at this!
Usopp's voice changed in a hurry.
The compass needle swung wildly, intermittently pointing towards the ruins to the north.
Evacuation zone for giant children.
An eerie black mist even seeped from the edge of the dial.
Usopp was panting heavily.
"Pollen is being corroded by the black mist again! Somaz Saint is erasing the mark!"
A cold wind swept by, carrying ice and snow.
Usopp gripped the compass tightly, his knuckles turning white.
"The pollen concentration is decreasing too quickly. If this continues, I'll only know the general direction, but I won't be able to pinpoint its exact location!"
He gritted his teeth and roared out the most deadly consequences.
Once the coordinates are lost, Somaz Saint is like a venomous snake diving into the deep sea.
Those giant children will be mercilessly slaughtered by him.
Nami's heart clenched suddenly.
She turned her head, her gaze quickly sweeping across the battlefield.
Outside the deep pit, the Qilin Gom Saint hovered in mid-air, its eyes arrogant and cruel.
The ten-meter-tall nightmare, the "God of Rain," stood behind him.
Black water swirled on the chest of the rain god, its corrosive odor suffocating.
Nami's gaze then turned to the ruins on the north side.
The wind and snow obscured everything, but the compass would not be wrong.
Somaz Saint is already approaching the evacuation zone.
"We can't let him get away."
Nami's voice was sharp and decisive.
Her brain was working at lightning speed.
We can't chase after them all.
With the defenses breached, Chopper at the bottom of the pit was exposed to the fists of Kirin Gomsaeng.
Zoro and Sanji had just stood up, and their physical condition was still unstable.
Nami held the Clima-Tact horizontally in front of her.
The blue and white static electricity crackled.
"Frankie! Brook!"
Nami gave the order loudly.
"The three of us will stay! We'll help Zoro hold the line!"
Her gaze fell on the blond figure who had just leaped out of the deep pit.
"The pursuit must be left to the fastest person!"
Sanji didn't even wait for Nami to finish speaking.
He looked down and grabbed the charred hem of his suit trousers.
stab.
He roughly tore off the charred fabric, revealing Chopper's newly healed calf.
The newly formed muscle is a healthy pink color.
Sanji slammed his right foot into the ground.
The permafrost is cracking.
The gravel rubbed violently against the sole of the shoe.
A spark ignites.
Bright white, high-temperature flames shot into the sky.
The Demonic Wind Kick reignited.
The flames swept over his calves and burned up to his thighs.
The surrounding ice and snow instantly evaporated into white mist.
Sanji took a deep breath of the cold, bloody air, his newly healed lungs throbbing with pain.
He turned his head and looked at Zoro with his one eye.
"Leave that prickly bastard to me."
Sanji's voice was as cold as ice.
"Those giant children must not fall into the hands of the Celestial Dragons."
Protecting the vulnerable is an instinct ingrained in his bones.
Zoro stood not far away.
The newly reattached right arm steadily lifted Qiu Shui.
He bit down hard on the Wado Ichimonji.
The Sandai Kitetsu is held in reverse in the left hand.
Three swords were crossed in front of his shoulders, and the black Armament Haki flowed along the blades, exuding a dark purple ghostly aura.
His only remaining left eye was fixed on the Qilin Gom Saint in mid-air.
He didn't even turn his head.
"The curly-browed cook."
Zoro's voice was muffled, yet full of power.
"You go after them. I'll handle things here."
Sanji snorted coldly.
He exhaled a puff of white mist, turned around, and retorted coldly.
"Green algae head. If you die here, I'll come back and kick you awake."
Neither of them uttered another word.
No need for further explanation.
Zoro single-handedly confronts the strongest Kirin, Ghom.
Sanji pursues the most dangerous Somaz Saint.
That's their division of labor.
Just as Sanji was about to unleash his power, a figure rushed to his side.
It's Usopp.
He haphazardly stuffed the vibrating compass into his clothes and grabbed the heavy ammunition pouch from his waist.
The bag was filled with specially made explosive bombs and spare tracking seeds.
The ammunition pouch hit his thigh with a dull thud.
Usopp's face remained deathly pale, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.
But he didn't stop.
"Usopp!"
Nami lost her voice.
"What are you doing? That's too dangerous!"
Ahead is Saint Somaz, and above him is Saint Qilin Gom.
Once he leaves the defensive line, a gust of wind could kill him.
Usopp stopped next to Sanji and turned to look at Nami.
"Only I can read the trajectory of pollen!"
His voice trembled, but his eyes remained unusually steady.
"The signal's malfunctioning! If I don't go, Sanji will definitely lose them!"
Usopp gripped the straps of the ammunition pouch tightly.
"I am a brave sea warrior! This is the mark I fired, and I must take full responsibility for it!"
Sanji glanced at him.
There was no attempt to dissuade him; he simply lowered his center of gravity slightly.
This is tacit approval.
midair.
Qilin Gom Saint saw all of this.
The pirates actually split up right in front of him.
They dared to ignore his existence.
They dared to discuss tactics right under his nose.
He was consumed by rage.
Qilin Gom's face twitched madly.
The Celestial Dragons, high and mighty, would never allow insects to provoke them.
Click.
Click click.
He clenched his fists tightly, and black crystals spread across his knuckles.
The knuckles cracked and popped, making a teeth-grinding sound.
A humiliating disgrace.
"Nobody's here..."
Qilin Gom's voice sounded like it had crawled out of hell.
"No one can leave my divine realm!"
He suddenly opened his arms wide.
The ten fingers quickly interlaced in front of the chest to form a hand seal.
The nightmare "God of Rain" behind him underwent a dramatic change.
The dark red water pattern on the Rain God's chest spun faster.
faster and faster.
Finally, it turned into a scarlet vortex.
A ten-meter-tall, semi-transparent black shadow raised its arms.
This faceless deity exudes a signal of destruction.
The moisture in the air was forcibly stripped away.
The black water on the ground began to flow backward.
The black liquid defied gravity, rising drop by drop into the sky.
Water droplets gather, stretch, and deform.
In just a few seconds, hundreds of slender black water jets condensed into shape.
Each water rocket is two meters long.
The arrow was churning with black foam.
The foam burst, releasing a strong, corrosive acid smell.
The dust particles in the air were being corroded with a hissing sound.
Qilin Gom Saint swung his right hand sharply.
Hundreds of black water arrows rained down like a black storm, raining down on the defensive line.
They do not attack indiscriminately.
The target was precisely Sanji and Usopp, who were preparing to leave.
"Don't even think about it."
Nami shouted loudly and swung her Weather Stick.
The tip of the rod emitted a large number of black bubbles, which expanded in mid-air and formed a thick thundercloud.
"A thunderous roar!"
Dozens of blue-white lightning bolts struck down from the thunderclouds.
The wildly beating lightning snakes charged straight at the black water arrow formation.
Nami wanted to use high temperatures to evaporate the water arrows.
But just before the black water arrow made contact with the lightning, it suddenly split in mid-air.
The arrow split open from the middle as if it were alive, perfectly bypassing the high-voltage electric arc.
After passing through the lightning zone, the black water quickly closed in again.
Lightning strikes have no effect.
"Super-Gunfire!"
Franky roared and raised his left arm, extending a thick mechanical cannon barrel.
The gun barrel spun rapidly.
"Da da da da da da!"
A dense barrage of metal bullets, accompanied by flashes of fire, swept out.
The fire net met the black water arrow rain head-on.
The metal bullet struck the black water jet.
There was no explosion.
No sparks.
The metal bullet's luster instantly dimmed upon contact with the black water.
The steel was rapidly oxidized and corroded.
The hard bullet turned directly into a cloud of reddish-brown rust powder, which was scattered by the wind.
Frankie's electronic eyes widened.
The physical defense network collapsed instantly.
"Netherworld Cold Air - Freeze!"
Brook transformed into a gray-white afterimage, shattering the stone slabs and leaping into the air.
The Soul-Slaying Sword was suddenly swung out.
A chilling, emerald-green aura cascaded down like a waterfall, rushing towards the row of arrows at the very front.
The extreme cold caused a layer of pale frost to form on the surface of the Blackwater Arrow.
The arrow rain was a beat slower.
But it was only half a beat too late.
The corrosive power within the black water immediately backfired.
The frost turned black within half a second and melted into dripping poisonous water.
The water rocket accelerated again.
"Now!"
Sanji seized this brief opening.
The bright white flames beneath his feet suddenly erupted, and he shot towards the exit of the ruins like a cannonball.
Usopp followed closely behind, running wildly across the swaying pebbles.
The air in his lungs was squeezed painfully, and he didn't even dare to breathe forcefully.
Qilin Gom Saint sneered.
The fish-fin crown on the head of the rain god suddenly opened.
It's like a deep-sea monster spreading its hunting net.
The black water arrow array in mid-air received new instructions.
All the water jets, while falling at breakneck speed, miraculously changed direction.
They are no longer firing in a straight line.
Instead, it transformed into three black torrents.
The first torrent crashed down right in front of Sanji and Usopp.
The black water hit the ground, corroding the hard permafrost and creating a row of bottomless black holes.
Their escape route was completely cut off.
The second and third torrents attacked from both the left and right sides.
Like two high black walls, blocking any possibility of lateral movement.
The remaining dozens of water arrows hovered directly above their heads.
The escape route was completely blocked.
The black water arrows were pressed very low.
They were less than two meters above their heads.
The nauseating, corrosive smell went straight into my nostrils.
Usopp's headscarf is being corroded by the scattered acid fumes.
The ground is riddled with holes.
There is no place to settle down.
"hateful!"
Usopp suddenly raised his black bag, intending to fire a bursting bullet to forcefully blast open a breach.
But he discovered that each water rocket was constantly changing its trajectory in mid-air.
They dart and weave like fish, without a fixed point of force.
The explosive projectile will only be swallowed up by the water flow.
Sanji was also forced to stop.
The high temperature of the Demon Wind Kick can block some of the water splashes, but if he tries to force his way through, his body will definitely be riddled with holes.
There is no way forward.
A formidable enemy lies behind.
A black rain of arrows rained down overhead, whistling like the Grim Reaper.
The hissing sound of the poisonous water dripping down grew louder and louder.
The all-consuming rain of corrosive arrows was about to engulf the two of them completely.
