Reincarnated in One Piece - Chapter 46
Three hours later, on the plain behind the Forest of Giant Trees, over fifty mindless Titans of varying sizes chased after the figure in the air.
Tang An used Geppo to stay aloft in mid-air, observing the Titans below. When the moment was right, he snapped his fingers and used his thumb to cut his index finger, creating a small wound. Golden lightning roared through the sky as Tang An transformed into the Armored Titan, descending like a god from the heavens.
The ground trembled, cracks spreading like spider webs, dirt and stones scattering everywhere.
“Come on!”
Using the Female Titan’s scream, Tang An stepped forward, charging towards the fifty-plus mindless Titans like a runaway train.
Indeed, Tang An was using these mindless Titans as sparring partners.
Despite their lack of intelligence, their numbers were overwhelming.
If it weren’t for the safety net provided by Geppo, Tang An wouldn’t dare to do this.
A swarm of ants can kill an elephant, and only the Armored Titan and the Colossal Titan could handle such numbers.
If the Female Titan or the Jaw Titan were to face so many mindless Titans, they would be doomed if they got swarmed.
“Harden!”
Like a thousand troops galloping, Tang An used hardening to cover half of the Armored Titan’s body, making it shine like crystal.
Over the past two months, Tang An had mastered hardening.
“Slash… Slash…”
Limbs flew, and the leading mindless Titans were shattered into pieces, blood and guts splattering the ground, a gruesome scene.
Like a tiger among sheep, Tang An fought the mindless Titans bare-handed, not using the Kukri knives or the gas tank.
Military combat techniques were used to their fullest—left hooks, uppercuts, knee strikes, sweeping kicks—Tang An bathed in blood and dismembered limbs, killing indiscriminately like a demon god.
From left to right and back again, Tang An fought fiercely, his murderous aura intense.
However…
A fifteen-meter Titan suddenly grabbed Tang An, its grip unrelenting despite its belly being punched through. Other mindless Titans also swarmed over.
Though these Titans couldn’t break through his defence, they used brute force to pin Tang An to the ground.
At least ten mouths bit into Tang An’s body, but they couldn’t pierce him. Tang An’s body was as hard as iron; they couldn’t kill him unless he ran out of energy.
Grabbing a ten-meter Titan’s head, Tang An crushed it like a watermelon, spraying blood and brains over the surrounding Titans. Then, he did the same to another Titan, using its neck as a weapon to sweep the others away, steam rising from the battlefield.
Dead Titans began to dissolve.
After nearly an hour, Tang An had finished off all the Titans. Steam rose from his body as he looked at the approaching Titans on the horizon.
This wasn’t the first time Tang An had used mindless Titans for training; it happened almost daily over the past two months.
But he had never faced so many at once.
He mostly transformed into the Armored Titan, but he occasionally used the Female Titan, the Jaw Titan, and the colossal titan.
Looking up at the sky, Tang An noted it was almost time for dinner.
There were still many training sessions ahead, and time was tight.
Only by building a solid foundation could he fully utilise his Titan powers.
Tang An wouldn’t neglect the basics.
As dusk fell and the sky darkened, the northern part of Wall Sina, Orvud District, trembled. Cracks tore through the ground as an enormous, bloated Titan, several times larger than the Colossal Titan, crawled towards the northern gate of Wall Sina like a moving mountain.
“How can it be this big?”
Connie’s eyes were shocked; this Titan’s size surpassed the Colossal Titan.
And that was while it was crawling. If it stood up, it would be colossal.
“Where are Eren and Historia?”
“They’ve been rescued.”
“Who transformed into this Titan?”
“It was Historia’s father. He captured Eren, intending for Historia to transform into a Titan and eat Eren to reclaim the Founding Titan.”
“The Reiss family is the true royal family.”
“Now’s not the time for this. If we don’t stop it, Wall Sina will…”
Given the Titan’s size, Wall Sina wouldn’t stand a chance if they didn’t stop it.
This incident began three days ago.
Three days ago, Eren and Historia were captured by Rod Reiss, the true king within the walls. His goal was for his illegitimate daughter, Historia, to transform into a Titan, eat Eren, and reclaim the Founding Titan’s power.
Only the royal bloodline could wield the full power of the Founding Titan.
For instance, it controls other Titans, erases memories, and alters bloodlines, making it the strongest of the Nine Titans.
With the Founding Titan’s power, one could control all mindless Titans and even initiate “The Rumbling,” using the Colossal Titans within the walls to flatten the world.
But Historia chose to save Eren instead, breaking the syringe of spinal fluid. In desperation, Rod licked some of the fluid and transformed into the massive Titan now before them.
In the process, Eren, through contact with Rod and Historia’s royal blood, awakened his Attack Titan abilities. He learned that his father, Grisha, came from the Marleyan Empire across the sea, how he slaughtered the Reiss family to seize the Founding Titan, and how Eren inherited both the Attack and Founding Titans.
Now, they needed to defeat this Titan, overthrow the false king within the walls, make Historia the true queen, and execute the Survey Corps’ plan to reclaim Wall Maria and uncover the world’s secrets in Eren’s basement.
A month I was passed in the blink of an eye.
Since the Survey Corps defeated the massive Titan and Historia became queen a month ago, they had been preparing to reclaim Wall Maria and reach Eren’s basement.
Before setting out, every Survey Corps member wore a sombre expression, their souls shrouded in fear and dread.
“Move out.”
With a wave of Erwin’s hand, the gates of Wall Rose lifted, and he led the Survey Corps out.
This mission wasn’t just about reclaiming Wall Maria but also about reaching Eren’s basement to uncover the world’s truth.
They had to remain vigilant against the dark entity mentioned by Zhou Wei and the potential survivors Reiner and the Beast Titan.
Everyone was prepared to sacrifice their hearts for humanity.
Meanwhile, at Wall Maria, on the broken outer gate where the Colossal Titan had kicked through five years ago, a four-meter-tall Titan with a small frame, black hair, a long horse-like mouth, and a back equipped with various large weapons moved around.
This was the Cart Titan, one of the Nine Titans.
The Cart Titan could walk on all fours with unparalleled endurance, move quickly, and carry supplies and heavy weapons.
It was a logistical Titan.
The current holder was Pieck, a young woman with long black hair and a dazed expression who was shrewd and charming.
