Chapter 19 - Transparent Enemy!

Where exactly is the enemy?

Filled with doubts and confusion, Sephiroth raised his field of vision and hearing to the extreme in an attempt to ascertain the other party's location.

Tap! Tap!

In a state of high concentration, the silver-haired boy's hearing far surpassed that of ordinary people, enabling him to detect the sound of footsteps approaching his location.

He quickly raised the long sword with both hands, fixing his eyes on the direction of the sound.

Being hit by a bullet in the body, as long as it is not in the head, is an insignificant injury to him. He can recover quickly by consuming some vitality.

Even if he had just been hit by a bullet in his back, the wound had temporarily stopped bleeding and was partially healed. As long as he dug out the bullet, it would be completely healed.

"Hahaha! Is he a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user? Their vitality is really tenacious! But...it's useless! Under my invisibility, you can only get beaten. Since you killed Andrew Bass, how about being my partner? I leave his position as battle captain to you… Power, wealth, fame, as long as you are willing to follow me, these are all within your reach!"

A slightly thick man's voice spread from the air and entered Sephiroth's ears.

The pirate profession is actually very risky and cruel, and there is a risk of casualties in every robbery.

Therefore, the pirate group also needs to recruit crew members, some from the gangsters on the island, and some from when they rob merchant ships at sea...

"Really? That's really an honor!"

Although the silver-haired boy said this, his figure sprinted out like an arrow from a string.

He had found the exact location of the enemy through echolocation. After getting closer to a certain distance, he immediately slashed out with the fiery red sword in his hand.

Clang!

Sparks flew everywhere, and the repulsive force and sound of cutting steel came from the blade, causing Sephiroth's pupils to shrink suddenly.

This man is wearing armor!?

"What a pity! You can't cut me."

There was a hint of joking in the man's voice. It was obvious that he had just been deliberately chopped by the silver-haired boy in order to make the latter feel more desperate.

The next moment…

Sephiroth was kicked hard in the abdomen, causing him to fly backward and hit the wall. There was a muffled sound of "Bang!" and a dent was suddenly knocked out of the wall. The cracks spread all around the wall.

"Cough!"

The silver-haired boy stood up and coughed out a mouthful of blood. Under the terrifying force of the other party, many internal organs in his body were damaged to the point of internal bleeding.

This guy should be an invisible person who ate Transparent/Clear-Clear devil fruit...!

It's no wonder that the pirate ship was able to enter the commercial street silently. He should have used his Devil Fruit ability to make the ship transparent...

Could this guy be Absalom?

Counting the time, it seems that Gecko Moria and Kaido have already fought each other. The former should have been completely defeated. All his subordinates died, and he was the only one left who escaped from Wano Country alive...

A burst of sound broke through the air. Although he couldn't see it, Sephiroth still subconsciously wanted to dodge sideways.

Snap!

The long whip with barbs struck the silver-haired boy hard. A hideous wound immediately appeared on his waist and ribs. The burning pain continued to stimulate his nerves.

'Hateful! Not only does this guy have a pistol and armor, but he also has a troublesome weapon like a long whip... He's really a tricky opponent!' Sephiroth thought in frustration.

"How about it? You should surrender obediently and submit to me, Watson Logan!"

"My bounty is 35 million Belly. I am somewhat famous on this Grandline. Surrendering to me is not a shame… But if you continue to resist, I will have no choice but to kill you."

The man's joking voice came again, as if he was already sure of victory.

Sephiroth's eyes were wandering. The enemy was wearing armor. He couldn't see the opponent's weaknesses at all. If he attacked rashly, he would only get beaten.

Suddenly!

His eyes saw the alley next to him...

"You want me to surrender? Wait until you defeat me!"

As he spoke, the silver-haired boy immediately rushed into the alley.

Because it had just rained, his shoes stepped on the rainwater in the alley, causing ripples.

"Hmph! I think you'd be better off dead!"

The man snorted and immediately chased into the alleyway, following closely behind the silver-haired boy.

After running a few meters, Sephiroth suddenly turned around and rushed back. His eyes glanced at the puddle on the ground.

Combined with the position of the man's voice when he spoke before, he quickly estimated in his mind the height of the other person was about 2.2 meters.

In a small space, whip-like weapons could not exert their due power at all, and with puddles to assist positioning, Sephiroth directly drew a rough outline of a human body in his mind.

The silver-haired boy knew that even if he could determine the opponent's size and position, if he still slashed at the armor, it would ultimately be in vain.

But...

Through his super hearing, he could clearly distinguish that when the man was speaking, the other party's voice was not blocked by any object, and there was no muffled sound.

Therefore, he should not be wearing any protection on his mouth or face!

In this state of high concentration, he actually "saw" the other party raising his pistol and preparing to shoot. He even saw the other party's face full of surprise and astonishment after finding Sephiroth looking in his direction.

In an instant, the red light in his eyes flashed away, and his body entered a very magical super-sensory state... It seemed his Observation Haki just awakened!

In the silver-haired boy's perception, he could clearly "hear" the beating sound of his heart, "Dong! Dong!" sounds like the beating of a war drum.

The surrounding buildings, water, flowers, and plants all seemed to be "alive", exuding their own unique atmosphere.

When Watson Logan pulled the trigger of the pistol, Sephiroth "saw" the trajectory of the bullet in advance. He subconsciously turned his head to avoid the shot.

Before the man could react, the fiery red sword in the silver-haired boy's hand had naturally penetrated the man's slightly open mouth, from the chin, directly to the back of the neck, killing him instantly.

Plop!

The body of a strong man holding a gun in his left hand and a long whip covered with barbs in the right hand, 2.2 meters tall, wearing armor on his chest and a hooded chainmail, fell heavily to the ground creating a big splash.

Sephiroth looked at the metal wrist guards and leg guards on the opponent's limbs, and he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.

This guy is really armed to the teeth!

To be fair, if the silver-haired boy didn't have a vampire devil fruit ability and his resilience was abnormal, and Watson Logan underestimated him and acted unscrupulously with the help of transparent devil fruit ability, this battle would definitely not have ended so easily.

Sephiroth first put his sword into the scabbard, and then used his slender nails to pull out the bullets from his body very roughly, causing his cheek to twitch in pain.

Fortunately, the pain goes as quickly as it comes.

After digging out the bullet, the silver-haired boy spent his vitality, and in just ten seconds, the wound was completely healed...
