Reincarnated in One Piece - Chapter 51
“Zhou Wei, you and Tang An are from the same place? What are reincarnators and Dark Ones?” Armin asked, bewildered. From Zhou Wei and Tang An’s conversation, he gathered that they were from the same place, but the terms reincarnation, Dark One, and the chosen ones Tang An hunted were still unclear.
Neither Armin nor Eren, Erwin, and Hanji needed help understanding.
However, one thing was sure: Tang An was their enemy, while Zhou Wei was on their side, sharing a familiar foe.
“Never mind, although this is unexpected, I prepared for this half a month ago,” Tang An said, snapping his fingers. As his thumb cut his index finger, golden lightning enveloped him.
“Not good, retreat!”
The surrounding Survey Corps members quickly backed away. In an instant, a massive storm descended, accompanied by blinding lightning. Tang An transformed into the Beast Titan from the ground up.
“Does he have some kind of golden finger? He can steal Titan powers?” Zhou Wei’s face darkened. He knew only those with Ymir’s bloodline could become intelligent or mindless Titans. Could it be that Tang An possessed Ymir’s bloodline? This was likely due to some kind of golden finger ability.
“Deploy the weapons,” Hanji commanded, her eyes filled with madness as she watched Tang An transform into the Beast Titan.
Iron net launchers were set up around the street, similar to those used to trap the Female Titan.
“Roar…”
As the Beast Titan, Tang An, let out a roar, the world seemed to fall silent.
“Boom… Boom!”
Golden lightning flashed across Wall Rose and Wall Sheena, painting the sky a golden-red hue. Many Indians began transforming into mindless Titans.
At that moment, chaos erupted within the walls.
Not only ordinary citizens and some wealthy families and nobles, but even soldiers from the Survey Corps, Garrison Regiment, and Military Police started turning into mindless Titans.
“What’s happening?”
“Stohess!”
“Aebesa!”
“Nile!”
“Shizaki!”
“Keith!”
Fear and anger echoed through the sky as many soldiers watched their familiar comrades transform into mindless Titans, nearly breaking down.
“Ah… stay away!”
“Why, why did Dad become a Titan?”
“Help!”
The entire Wall Rose and Wall Sheena turned into a living hell, with people transforming into mindless Titans and starting to devour others. Everyone was going mad.
It wasn’t just one or two people turning into mindless Titans, but thousands upon thousands.
“Damn it, Tang An, what have you done?” Connie shouted in panic, glaring at Tang An.
“Gather and eliminate the humans,” Tang An ordered the mindless Titans. He then grabbed some debris and hurled it at Zhou Wei and the others.
The Survey Corps’ plans and traps were utterly disrupted as their comrades transformed into mindless Titans.
Most importantly, the mindless Titans from all directions charged at them madly.
“Boom…”
Eren jumped from a rooftop, biting his right hand as he transformed into the Attack Titan with a burst of golden lightning.
“Connie, Jean, Armin, Zhou Wei, support Eren. The rest handle the mindless Titans,” Erwin ordered quickly.
“Yes!”
“Everyone, stop the mindless Titans from approaching!”
“But Commander, there are too many mindless Titans.”
“No matter how many, we have to stop them to buy Eren and the others time,” Erwin roared, slicing through the nape of a mindless Titan who had once been his subordinate.
“Yes!”
The soldiers moved, fighting through fear and screams to buy Eren time. But the sheer number of mindless Titans was overwhelming.
Titans charged towards them everywhere they looked, turning Wall Rose and Wall Sheena into a living hell.
“Roar…”
Now the Attack Titan, Eren hardened his hands and roared, charging at Tang An like a cannonball.
Tang An’s gaze remained cold, his attention mainly on Zhou Wei.
At the same time, Zhou Wei, Armin, Connie, and the others used their ODM gear to find an opportunity from above.
Eren’s strong and swift punch aimed at Tang An’s head with a loud sound.
Tang An remained calm, sidestepping and drawing his kukri knives. As he passed Eren, he slashed at Eren’s neck.
“Now!”
As Tang An moved, Zhou Wei sprang into action, quickly reaching Tang An’s nape.
“Bang!”
Sparks flew as Tang An’s knife cut into Eren’s neck, but it got stuck halfway through.
“Shocking Hundred Miles.”
Enveloped in purple energy from the Nine Yang Divine Art, Zhou Wei struck a five-meter-long golden dragon with his palm, roaring toward Tang An’s nape.
Sensing the danger, Tang An knew his hardening wouldn’t protect him. In the Beast Titan form, his defense was weaker than in the Armored Titan form with hardening.
Tang An quickly hardened his elbow and thrust it backward, colliding with Zhou Wei’s palm. Despite his speed, Tang An’s right hand exploded, blood and flesh flying.
Steam billowed from the wound.
Zhou Wei was thrown back, his face pale, but the Nine Yang Divine Art restored his color.
“Roar…”
Zhou Wei’s powerful attack gave Eren an opening. Eren’s neck steamed as it healed rapidly. He planted his left foot on the ground and hardened his right leg, sweeping it towards Tang An’s abdomen.
Although aiming for the head, the Beast Titan was two meters taller than the Attack Titan.
With his right hand unusable, Tang An blocked with his left, keeping his nape hardened. Armin, Sasha, and Connie were ready to strike with thunder spears, weapons capable of piercing the Armored Titan’s armor.
Taking Eren’s kick head-on, Tang An staggered back, crushing a building and releasing a cloud of steam.
“Roar…”
Eren roared, leaping onto Tang An and pounding his head like a cannonball. Strangely, Tang An didn’t resist, letting Eren smash his head.
“Eren, watch out!” Armin shouted, seeing Tang An behind Eren’s nape.
Tang An had deactivated his Titan form and used his uncanny speed, catching Armin off guard.
“Damn, I can’t harden in time,” Eren felt the wind at his nape as Tang An’s kukri knives slashed through, exposing Eren’s actual body.
“Slash…”
The blade cut through Eren’s waist, his face contorted in pain as he was sliced in half. Just as Tang An was about to pull Eren out, Zhou Wei instantly appeared like a phantom, covering ten meters.
“Dragon of Regret!”
A five-meter golden dragon roared, forcing Tang An to abandon Eren and retreat ten meters away using Soru, glaring at Zhou Wei.
But before Tang An could catch his breath, Armin, Connie, and Sasha appeared overhead, firing thunder spears like rockets.
“Boom…”
The massive explosion tore through the air, and the entire building was blown.
