Above Pirate King - Chapter 85
On Strala’s warship,
Aldebaran and tthe others stood at the bow, gazing at the four factions in the distance.
“The enemy seems strong this time!” exclaimed Shura, his eyes filled with a hint of battle intent.
“Moreover, those who just said they were leaving are still following behind!” Douko chuckled.
“I’ll handle the two behind us!” Aldebaran scratched his head and said in a simple tone.
“I’ll hold one of them!” At that moment, Strala walked up, serious in his demeanor.
“Alright!” nodded Douko. “I’ll take two of the three in front.”
“The Hawkeye is mine!” Shura said excitedly.
He wanted to see who was stronger, his Excalibur or the black sword.
“Strala, call the navy on that side and let them deal with the fleet under their command!” Douko instructed.
“Understood!” Strala nodded, took out a Den Den Mushi, and dialed Jorlag’s number, who was coming to their aid.
Jorlag was also part of the Akainu’s faction, and he had a good relationship with Strala. Although he had doubts about whether the few Gold Saints could handle the leaders of these people, he still followed Strala’s orders.
In a few brief words, the enemies were assigned their respective targets!
At that moment,
Jorogumo, who had escaped earlier, moved her spider legs and climbed down the cliff.
“You can’t run away!” Jorogumo laughed coquettishly.
And at this moment, Arnold and Teutonic’s ships, which had claimed to leave, appeared on the Reverse mountaintop and started descending along the river, chasing after them again.
“Crack!”
Arnold twisted his neck, clenched his fists, and grinned, saying, “Money, it’s a good thing!”
“Humility, honor, sacrifice, bravery, mercy, honesty, spirit, justice. These are the eight virtues of a knight, but…” Teutonic took out a new lance, his mouth curled up, and pointed to Strala’s warship not far away, saying, “I am a pirate knight! My only virtue is… money!!!”
On Strala’s warship,
“It’s time!” Aldebaran’s gaze became sharp as he spoke.
“Alright!” the others nodded.
Aldebaran bent his legs slightly, exerted force, and leaped into the air, drawing an arc. Finally, he landed near the lighthouse, kicking up a cloud of dust.
“Cough, cough!” The dust choked the reporters who were eating chips and drinking cola.
However, no reporter dared to say anything, and they didn’t even dare to approach and strike up a conversation.
Aldebaran ignored them and instead watched the three people rushing towards him. He smiled faintly, crossing his arms.
This scene immediately reminded the three of their previous battle. Their hearts skipped a beat, and Jorogumo hurriedly ran towards the nearby cliff.
But Arnold and Teutonic had no choice.
Because the Reverse mountain had only one waterway for descent, their ships could only follow the waterway downward.
“Teutonic, Jorogumo, I’ll stop him. You two charge ahead!” Arnold spoke up.
Jorogumo and Teutonic nodded simultaneously.
The three had already discussed it before coming, agreeing to split the bounty evenly. This way, each person could receive over six to nearly seven hundred million Berries, and the relative danger would be much lower!
With that, Arnold jumped directly out of the ship.
Using the force of gravity, he rolled himself into a ball, covering his whole body in Armament Haki, and started spinning.
“Blackstone: Meteor Fall!”
Arnold, like a black meteor, with a whirlwind, directly rushed towards Aldebaran.
“Great Horn!”
A tremendous shockwave was unleashed.
“Boom!”
The collision between the two created a huge shockwave and a deafening roar.
For a moment, even the water flow of the Reverse Mountain was affected by the shockwave, pausing briefly before continuing to flow.
The reporters at the lighthouse had long since rushed into the lighthouse!
Crocus, on the other hand, continued to eat his chips and drink his cola without caring.
In the end, the collision concluded with Arnold being sent flying back!
However, Arnold didn’t give up. He maintained his ball shape, flew back a distance, and then, relying on gravity, descended again.
“Blackstone: Meteor Fall!”
Meanwhile, Teutonic’s ship happened to be descending along the waterway.
Seeing Arnold and then looking at Teutonic, Aldebaran grinned and instantly came up with a brilliant idea!
Aldebaran raised his fist and gathered his strength.
“Lightspeed Fist!”
At the moment when Arnold was descending, Aldebaran struck with force!
“Boom!”
He hit Arnold like a ball, sending him flying to the side, flying towards Teutonic’s ship.
“Buzz!”
Flying through the air, Arnold spun with a fierce wind, buzzing loudly, rotating straight towards Teutonic’s ship.
Dangerous!
This move filled Teutonic with a sense of crisis, cursing his foolish teammate in his mind.
But he had no choice but to withstand it. He wasn’t Jorogumo who could climb walls; the ship was still important to him!
Helplessly, he stood at the edge of the ship, holding up his lance with a sideways stance.
Adopting a baseball swing posture, he filled the lance with his Haki.
“Clang!”
“Crackling!”
Arnold and the lance collided, producing a sound like steel colliding. But neither side was pushed away; instead, they rubbed against each other, creating a grating noise.
“Ah–”
Teutonic tightly grasped the lance with both hands, veins bulging on his neck, and his muscles tightened as he roared.
“Boom!”
In the end, both Arnold and Teutonic were sent flying. Teutonic flew to the side of the lighthouse on the other side of the Twin Cape, landing on his butt and leaving a long trench in the ground before finally coming to a stop after a few seconds.
Arnold, on the other hand, flew back towards Aldebaran again.
“Hahaha!” Aldebaran grinned, clenched his fist, and gathered his strength once more.
“Haaaaah! Light Speed Fist!”
Aldebaran roared, unleashing a powerful punch.
“Boom!”
Arnold was sent flying back again.
On the other side of the Twin Cape, Teutonic, who had just stood up, watched Arnold flying back again. His eyes widened, and he almost blurted out an expletive, but it was too late to dodge.
He had no choice but to lift up his lance once again.
“Clang!”
This time, Teutonic’s lower leg sank directly into the soil, leaving a tens of meters long trench, and only then did Arnold get knocked back.
“Mmm, hmph!”
However, although he was knocked back, Teutonic was in pain. He grunted, clutching his chest with one hand, feeling his energy nd blood surging throughout his body, almost spitting out blood!
After a while, he managed to suppress the surging energy and blood!
But the next moment, Arnold was struck back by Aldebaran again.
And like that, with the Twin Cape as the boundary, Aldebaran and Teutonic struck the curled Arnold back and forth, like playing tennis.
But both of them were in pain. Teutonic almost vomited blood, and Aldebaran’s arm also felt numb.
Teutonic wanted to dodge, but Aldebaran’s counterattacks were too fast. Every time Teutonic barely suppressed his energy and blood, Arnold was sent flying back, and he could only grit his teeth and take it.
Of course, Arnold was even more miserable!
Physically and mentally.
Because…
He was the… ball!
Moreover, the original rotational speed, combined with the acceleration from the strikes of the two, made Arnold’s head constantly spin. He felt dizzy and completely lost control of his body, unable to stop voluntarily, and could only let the two of them continue to hit him back and forth.
He didn’t dare to dissipate his Armament Haki either. If he did, relying solely on his body being struck like this, he would definitely be severely injured!
Arnold was filled with regret!
He swore never to use this idiotic move again in the future.
If he were to be hit like this again in the future, should he continue to exist?
While Aldebaran and Teutonic were playing their game, Jorogumo rushed from the side during this opportunity and headed towards Strala’s warship.
