Chapter 25: Combat
"What are you doing?" Anderson roared angrily, his hands changed for a while, and scales and sharp claws emerged.
"Killing him, what else can I do?" Mio shrugged while holding a sword.
"Damn it, kill him!" Hearing this, Anderson groaned directly. He didn't want to cause trouble, but when someone killed his subordinates, Anderson suddenly stopped thinking about it so much. After a while, he turned into a lizard Man.
He was covered with scales and looked terrifying.
The originally slender body became extremely strong at this time, and a thick and long tail appeared behind him.
"Hahaha, it's time to see blood again."
"Go to hell kid."
"Kill!"
The pirates around who had already drunk heard the boss's order at this time, and suddenly laughed, drew out their weapons and rushed towards Mio, some also took out their muskets and fired at Mio. Bullets shot out.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out, two cold lights flashed by, and the bullets were split in half in mid-air and fell on the ground. The figure did not stay, and the knife was drawn out, with blood splashing. A famous pirate suddenly fell to the ground, blood splashing.
Erica's slender, white hands were holding two swords, and she stood behind Mio. She didn't speak, but stood there quietly.
In just a few breaths, several pirates died in Erica's hands, causing the other pirates who had rushed towards Mio to stop, swallowing saliva, and a look of fear appeared.
Even when Anderson saw this scene, his pupils couldn't help shrinking, showing a look of jealousy, but then he was even more angry. "Very powerful, but you'll still die!"
Since getting the Devil Fruit ability, Anderson has never lost. Anyone who opposes him was torn apart by him, even Marine. At this time, the anger was burned, and there was no fear. He only wants to rip the two guys in front of him.
Anderson rushed towards Mio, swept across the air with one claw, and the sound of breaking through the air sounded.
Mio gripped his sword firmly and said slowly, "Leave this guy to me, and the others to you, Erica."
"Erica will definitely protect her master." Erica's serious voice came out under the cloak.
With a grin, Mio stopped speaking, waved his weapon forward, and blocked Anderson's attack with a sound of 'clang'.
Mio opened his mouth and couldn't help sighing, "It's worthy of being an devil fruit of the Zoan category. The power is really terrifying."
Mio couldn't help being surprised by the strength of the weapon, but it was only that.
Although he has obtained the devil fruit ability, Anderson is obviously not developed to the point of being too strong, otherwise he may not be able to stand it with just one blow. After all, the strength of Mio is good, but it is only a strong one in North Blue.
And in North Blue, if he was not considered top-notch, he would not dare to contact Doflamingo. It is also because Warwick and Erica are there. If he wad alone, Mio would not contact Doflamingo.
The topic is far off.
At this time.
The corner of Mio's mouth raised, and his right hand swung a sword, "One sword style! Shadow attack!"
At full speed, Mio's figure approached Anderson like a ghost, and the swing of the sword in his hand was accompanied by the sudden movement of the figure to form a crescent-shaped slash, and the black sword aura burst out, making people see at a glance.
Indeed, like the name, it was like a shadow attack.
"Get away!" Anderson roared and swept across with a paw, but the next moment his suddenly lost all color, he quickly backed up a few steps, and then lowered his head to look at his paw.
At this time, a hole split open, and blood kept pouring out.
"It seems that your defense is not enough to block my slash." The corners of Mio's mouth raised, and after a chuckle, he attacked again.
A sword was cut out, and the sword aura burst out.
Anderson hurriedly evaded, and the slash fell on the wall of the tavern. He immediately cut the wall open. A loud noise erupted, directly destroying the wall of the tavern, attracting the attention of many pirates outside the tavern. His eyes turned towards this side.
After Erica glanced at her master, she slowly waved her right hand and slashed out.
The silver sword aura erupted, and a terrible slash was formed immediately, and it fell on the ground outside the tavern. A deep crack emerged, and Erica's soft voice said with firmness, "Don't step in here, or you will be killed!"
One of Anderson's men in the tavern swallowed his saliva.
He was frightened by Erica's strength.
In addition, his boss was also injured.
He couldn't help but want to leave here.
When he looked outside the tavern, he moved lightly, preparing to leave here secretly, and then take advantage of the chaos to return to the boat to take away some of his boss' treasures.
But just as his body moved, a sword aura slashed over.
The pirate's head and neck branched house suddenly, and fell to the ground.
"Tch, what a terrible guy."
"She's still a little girl judging from the voice, hehe, but the strength is really terrible."
"It seems that I can only watch the excitement. I originally planned to see if I could pick up something."
Many pirates outside the pub, who were watching here, laughed, their eyes shone brightly, and finally gave up the idea of taking advantage of the chaos.
They originally wanted to take advantage of the two fighting, if they had the opportunity, they would not hesitate.
They wanted to takr the lives of the two, and then directly ask the person under their hand to take their head to the Marine Base to receive a reward.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in this world.
But now, they have all given up on this idea and can only watch the excitement.
Although Erica's voice sounded soft and weak, the hand just now was completely decisive.
"Damn it." Seeing that one of his subordinates was killed, and the other subordinates did not dare to make the slightest move, Anderson was furious, and immediately roared, "You idiots, if you don't make a move, wait until I tear you apart."
Hearing this, the surrounding pirates suddenly hesitated.
They followed Anderson, naturally knowing that Anderson was cruel, and after hesitating for a while, some pirates gritted their teeth and rushed over again.
But just a few steps out, Erica directly swung the knife and beheaded mercilessly.
With their strength, there is no possibility of resistance in front of Erica.
"Don't be distracted, keep coming." Mio shouted at Anderson dissatisfiedly, waved his weapon and rushed directly, slashing out, accompanied by sword aura.
Anderson couldn't escape, he could only grit his teeth and block, his sharp claws swept across, and he just blocked Mio's blow. Then he let out a gruesome roar and flicked it, and the thick tail behind him swept toward Mio.
Wherever he went, tables and chairs shattered and walls collapsed.
The excitement in Mio's eyes flashed, and with a slight leap, he avoided the sweep. He didn't have the idea of quickly solving the battle. Instead, he wanted to fight Anderson a little longer and gain combat experience.
And for some reason, the longer he fights, he gets more and more excited, and wants to fight Anderson more and more
Perhaps this is related to the ability acquired at the beginning.
