Reincarnated in One Piece - Chapter 52

“Did we get him?” Connie asked, eyes filled with hope.

“No, get back!” Armin shouted in alarm as a bolt of golden lightning crashed down.

“Boom… boom…”

A massive shockwave slammed into Connie, Sasha, and the others, cracking bones and sending them flying, blood spraying from their mouths.

At the center of the explosion, Tang An had transformed into the Armored Titan.

“How is this possible? He turned into the Armored Titan!” Pale as a sheet, Armin lay in the rubble, staring at the transformed Tang An in disbelief. He had just undone the Beast Titan transformation, and now, in such a short time, he had turned into another Titan.

Ignoring Armin and the others, Tang An moved towards Eren. Eren had been cut in half and needed significant time to heal. Until then, he couldn’t transform into the Attack Titan again.

“Shing!”

Zhou Wei appeared, wielding the Dragon-Slaying Saber, which glowed with a golden hue under the influence of Nine Yang True Qi.

Tang An’s eyelid twitched; he felt that he couldn’t block Zhou Wei’s saber even with armor and hardening.

Zhou Wei used his Lingbo Weibu (Wave-Stepping), his form flickering left and right as he rushed towards Tang An’s legs, clearly aiming to cut them off and immobilize Tang An.

Tang An hardened his legs, stepping back and forth, but Zhou Wei’s movements needed to be faster and more attainable.

In this situation, being in Titan form was a burden for Tang An.

He manifested his kukri knives and slashed down, tearing the ground with the force of his attack, but he couldn’t even graze Zhou Wei.

They played a game of cat and mouse, reducing the entire area to ruins.

To make matters worse, other Survey Corps members launched sneak attacks using thunder spears, frustrating Tang An.

Armin managed to drag Eren to a safe zone, but he couldn’t capture Eren unless Tang An dealt with Zhou Wei.

Tang An emerged from the nape of the Armored Titan, using Moonwalk to fly into the air, his gaze filled with killing intent as he looked down at Zhou Wei.

Without warning, a high-pitched, tragic, and stirring BGM began to play within Tang An’s body. The sudden music left everyone in shock.

All the mindless Titans went berserk, roaring fearlessly, their combat power surging as if they could now slay gods.

Meanwhile, the Survey Corps merely found the music good but felt no surge of courage.

The war BGM titled “Victory” played for 5 minutes and 20 seconds, during which Tang An and his forces would have their power doubled. The cooldown time was ten days.

This BGM only benefited Tang An and his allies, while the opposing side found it pleasant to hear.

The mindless Titans, transformed by Tang An, were counted as his allies. Under the BGM’s influence, their strength, speed, and attack power doubled.

With the start of the BGM, a golden storm appeared around Tang An. The sounds of battle filled the air as golden armor began to assemble around him, forming a helmet, shoulder pads, breastplate, greaves, and boots.

Within a few breaths, Tang An, clad in golden armor, descended like a god, his eyes cold and domineering.

He stepped towards Zhou Wei, the clinking of his armor ringing out, stirring the blood of onlookers.

Despite the golden armor being merely ornamental, the visual impact in conjunction with the BGM was overwhelming.

More importantly, Tang An felt his body brimming with power, thanks to the BGM’s boost.

Seeing Tang An’s complete transformation, Zhou Wei tensed up, more cautious than ever.

The Nine Yang True Qi circulated intensely within him, generating a purple aura that enveloped his body, making him look equally formidable.

Compared to Tang An and Zhou Wei’s transformations, Armin, Eren, and the surrounding Survey Corps members were dumbstruck.

These two were gods.

“Boom…”

The ground beneath Tang An and Zhou Wei shattered as they charged like arrows, clashing their weapons. The impact sent shivers through their arms.

Fortunately, Zhou Wei’s Nine Yang Divine Skill was only at the fourth level, giving him 40 years of internal energy. Otherwise, Tang An would have been sent flying instead of retreating five or six steps.

Zhou Wei retreated only three steps, proving Tang An was weaker in strength.

This highlighted the difference between having true qi and not. Tang An relied solely on physical strength, while Zhou Wei had the advantage of internal energy.

However, Tang An was faster. The Lingbo Weibu was ethereal, but Soru was fast, almost instantaneous.

“Bang!”

Tang An flashed behind Zhou Wei, his kukri knife slashing with full force. The high-pitched war BGM emboldened Tang An, filling him with an invincible belief.

Sparks flew as Zhou Wei’s right hand went numb.

With a shrill whistling sound, Tang An’s right foot followed up like a dragon emerging from the sea. Zhou Wei, startled, countered with a golden dragon formed from his qi.

“Dragon in the Field.”

“Boom…”

The powerful force tore up the surrounding ground, sending debris flying. Tang An somersaulted back, his right foot tingling.

Zhou Wei’s left hand trembled uncontrollably.

“Shing!”

In just two breaths, Tang An closed the ten-meter gap, his kukri knife flashing towards Zhou Wei’s throat. Zhou Wei quickly blocked with the Dragon-Slaying Saber and countered with a qi-infused left palm.

But Tang An vanished.

“Boom…”

A five-meter golden dragon tore through the ruins, carving a deep trench.

Crap.

A cold sweat broke out on Zhou Wei’s forehead as he sensed the blade’s edge behind him, a chill running down his spine.

“Dragon’s Tail.”

With a quick reversal, Zhou Wei used the Dragon’s Tail technique, swinging his saber with all his might.

“Slash…”

Although the Dragon’s Tail blocked the kukri knife, it couldn’t stop Tang An’s right foot.

Blood sprayed as Zhou Wei, in pain, was sent flying like a cannonball into the rubble, kicking up dust.

Tang An’s kick was powerful, using the full force of Soru.

In an instant, he delivered ten kicks, each with full power, enhanced by the war BGM.

Zhou Wei couldn’t withstand such pure strength even with the Nine Yang True Qi protecting him.

Tang An crossed six meters in a blink, flashing five times to appear before Zhou Wei. His kukri knife stabbed out like lightning.

Zhou Wei quickly rolled and jumped up, swinging the Dragon-Slaying Saber. Tang An blocked with his right-hand kukri knife while his left-hand knife swung down.

“Damn.”

Zhou Wei dodged using Lingbo Weibu, but Tang An followed, changing the direction of his left-hand knife.

“Clang, clang, clang…”

Their weapons clashed with blinding speed. Tang An’s attacks were unstructured, aiming only for eyes, throat, heart, and groin—vital points.

This unpredictable, vicious style put Zhou Wei on the defensive, struggling to keep up.
