One Piece: Alucard the Immortal

Chapter 38: Battle Against the Female Pirate



It was indeed the Most Heinous Female Pirate in History; if Devon had magnanimously let Olvia off, Alucard would have found it highly suspicious.

Recalling his own ship, which was in such a dilapidated state that maintaining its progress with Hidden Shadow was a hassle, he decided to take this opportunity to relax a bit.

With that thought, Alucard curved his lips into a smile. Despite the presence of many people on the street, he suddenly drew his White Gun Casull and, through the glass, fired a shot at Devon inside.

BANG!

The glass shattered instantly, and the bullet flew straight towards Devon's forehead. At such a close range, it didn't even take a tenth of a second for the bullet to travel from Casull's muzzle to Devon's forehead.

"Hm!"

Devon's pupils abruptly contracted. She pulled out a long spear from behind her back and swiftly thrust it backward.

In an instant, the spearhead and the bullet collided, creating a powerful shockwave that caused Olvia and many other ordinary people to collapse onto the ground.

Devon's pirate subordinates also involuntarily staggered backward or were even knocked away.

After about three seconds of standoff, Devon finally blocked the bullet, though the sharp tip of her spearhead had a slight, barely noticeable twist.

"Oh~ To think you could block that shot! Without using Armament Haki, that spear doesn't seem to be an ordinary item!"

Everyone looked up to see a man in a blood-red trench coat walk through the shattered glass. He appeared to be less than twenty years old, very young, yet for some reason, he exuded a chilling aura.

Devon's wide mouth curled into a grin, revealing shark-like sharp teeth. She brandished her spear and said, "One of the 21 Great Grade Swords, the famous blade Dansui (Water Breaker). I fitted its blade to my weapon's spearhead."

By this point, Alucard had fully entered the main hall of the shop. Hearing Devon's words, he smiled with interest. "Oh... a Great Grade Sword, eh? I've run into quite a character. Truly worthy of the title, 'Most Heinous Female Pirate in History.'"

"Hmph, Pirate Hunter Alucard. I just heard about you this morning, and here you are knocking on my door. Do you want my bounty?"

Upon hearing their captain, the Devon Pirates' crew members stared wide-eyed at Alucard. Such a thing! They'd just read about this person in the newspaper that morning, and he appeared less than a day later!

Alucard rested the barrel of Casull against the side of his head and chuckled, "Can you please not call me a pirate hunter? I merely kill pirates occasionally to solve financial problems. I've never acknowledged the title of pirate hunter."

"That already makes you a pirate hunter, don't you understand?"

No sooner had Devon's words fallen than her spearhead suddenly unleashed immense power, carrying a powerful gust of wind as it thrust forward. It condensed into a visible shockwave that slammed directly into Alucard.

Alucard raised his hands in a cross formation, blocking the powerful shockwave, and was sent flying straight back through the broken glass window.

BOOM!!

With a loud crash, Alucard landed inside a restaurant across the street, overturning several tables. The people dining and the staff inside the restaurant were too terrified to speak.

Ignoring the astonished gazes of those around him, Alucard slowly stood up and walked out of the restaurant. By now, Devon had also stepped out onto the street through the hole Alucard had crashed through.

"Impressive destructive power. The title of Most Heinous Female Pirate in History isn't just for show," Alucard said with a laugh, his blood-red trench coat fluttering in the wind behind him.

'This guy... his wounds are healing!'

Devon watched in shock as the flesh on Alucard's body, which had just been grazed by her attack, healed. Her eyes narrowed, and she thought to herself, 'Indeed, a troublesome ability.'

"Perfect, let me test my close-quarters combat!"

Alucard let out a wild laugh. Activating his Blacklight Virus ability, he instantly formed a greatsword in his hand within two seconds. While it wasn't as large as the massive sword Cahill used during the Harald Kingdom battle, it was still far, far larger than a typical traditional katana. The original Alucard had also used a greatsword, though very rarely.

"He formed a sword! What kind of ability is that?"

Seeing a strange black shadow emerge from Alucard's right hand and then form a sword, Devon was quite shocked. However, she was still a super-powerful pirate with a bounty close to 200 million. She quickly recovered from her shock at his ability, and the attack began!

Facing Devon's direct thrust, Alucard furiously swung the greatsword in his hand, clashing with her spearhead. After a symphony of clanging metal, sparks continuously flew.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

In an instant, the two had exchanged dozens of blows, with sparks flashing.

Pedestrians on both sides of the road were stunned, then quickly fled, screaming, "Pirates are fighting!"

"Quick! Quick! Notify the Marines! Notify the Marines!"

"Run for your lives!"

The surrounding commotion didn't affect their battle.

The more she clashed with Alucard, the more shocked Devon became. 'This guy... his swordsmanship has no discernible form; he just attacks wherever he looks!'
