One Piece: Shadow monarch? I'm Just Logistics!

Chapter 239: The Younger Generation is to be Feared

Clang!

As soon as the words were spoken, the gleaming cane sword was instantly drawn.

Having been suspicious of this powerful aura before, and now hearing Chopper's words, Fujitora had no more doubts. He dragged his sword and shot out directly.

Clang!

Two clenched, pitch-black arms rose vertically, blocking the horizontally returning blade.

Sparks flew, and the impact of the collision spread outwards in a circle.

Relying on the defense of his Armament Haki, he had actually used his flesh-and-blood body to block it, preventing it from advancing another inch.

"We were just happily gambling together. You old blind man really show no mercy," a corner of Reiner's mouth lifted.

He appeared relaxed and at ease, but his heart was somewhat grave. As expected of an Admiral, this old guy is no joke.

He pushed out with both arms with all his might, sending the other flying back. The two of them retreated, their feet sliding several meters on the ground as they faced off.

"Wh-wh... what's going on!" Chopper retreated repeatedly, somewhat bewildered by the sudden conflict.

He glanced at Fujitora, then turned his head to look at Reiner and Nami in their standoff. Although he didn't know what had happened, still...

"Anyway, he's an enemy, right!" Chopper quickly moved to his side's camp, his gaze hardening as he took a fighting stance, and said seriously, "Then I'll help too!"

"You've already been a disservice, you idiot reindeer," a vein popped on Nami's forehead. She suppressed the urge to punch Chopper.

"Eh, have I!?" Chopper suddenly became shy and looked up, asking, "When did I help?"

"It was a disservice, you bastard!!"

Bang!!

Nami roared, baring her teeth, and couldn't resist smashing her fist into his head. "Why do you think we're fighting an Admiral! Isn't it because you, you idiot, exposed our identities!"

"S-soka."

With a large bump on his head, Chopper lay on the ground, his butt in the air, two lines of unmanly tears streaming down. "I-I'm sorry~~."

At the same time.

An inexplicable sense of pressure suddenly descended. It was a physical pressure. The flowing air seemed to freeze, pressing down fiercely on the three of them!

"Jigoku Tabi!" (Hell's Journey)

Fujitora held his cane sword horizontally and slowly sheathed it. With every inch the blade entered, the surrounding gravity grew stronger.

"What's going on!" Nami frowned, gritting her teeth to resist. "My body feels so heavy!"

"It's gravity," Reiner's expression became grave. Fujitora's ability had a very wide range.

Nami's Armament Haki was even weaker than Apis's. It was too much for her to withstand his move.

"You take Chopper and get out of here first. I'll find you later."

Reiner's eyes hardened. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, and with a full exertion of the Haki in his body, the air seemed to become violent!

The casino began to tremble. The floor, tables, chairs, and bar were continuously blasted apart, as if countless bolts of lightning were raging!

"—Urghhh!!"

Boom!!

Reiner's expression was ferocious. He suddenly jolted his arms to his sides, and the projected Haki instantly broke through the gravity suppressing the area!

The moment the ability disappeared, Nami and Chopper let out a sigh of relief, then looked over with worry.

"Can you handle it, Reiner!"

Reiner didn't look back and said contemptuously, "What do you think?"

"I understand," Nami understood immediately. She quickly grabbed the Chopper on the ground, and with a blast of lightning, she broke through the wall and ran straight out.

"Hey Nami, is it really okay?" Chopper couldn't help but ask with worry.

"Ah, don't worry. If Reiner wants to leave, he just needs to leave a few undead behind to cover his retreat."

Nami continued to run without looking back, a corner of her mouth lifting slightly. "This idiot is probably just itching for a fight. He's terrifyingly strong right now."

During their training, she had witnessed Reiner's peak strength. That world-destroying scene was like the apocalypse descending.

It was as if the Summit War had replayed itself before her eyes.

"I see," Chopper sighed in relief and said with a smile, "Then if you add Zoro and Sanji, they might be able to defeat an Admiral."

Nami's face darkened, and her blood pressure, which had just gone down, immediately shot up again.

What kind of brain does it take to be fooled by those fakes!

Boom!!

A loud noise came from behind. Nami subconsciously glanced back. The entire casino had already collapsed with a roar, and a rolling cloud of dust and smoke rose up.

Phew!

A whistling gust of wind blew away the white smoke. Fujitora swung his hand, flinging a cane sword that was emitting a biting cold light, his expression heavy.

"What incredible Haki, to actually be able to break through my ability."

"That was mostly because you were holding back against them."

Reiner spoke in a low voice. The ground beneath his feet had been pressed into a semi-circular deep pit. His heavy body felt like it was a struggle just to lift a leg.

The gravity pressing on his body hadn't stopped for a moment, and was even continuously increasing.

Just how high is the limit of this old blind man's ability?

Unlike Nami and the others, who were suppressed by gravity enhanced out of thin air, Reiner had the ability's effect applied to his body when he blocked the opponent's sword strike at the beginning.

It seemed the opponent had been targeting him from the start.

"Black Snake Reiner. As expected of a person of special interest listed by headquarters. No wonder they sent me on a special trip just based on a little rumor."

Fujitora spread his legs, drew his cane sword, and swung it through the air. The surrounding scattered wood and stone debris were freed from the earth's bonds and slowly floated up.

Before Reiner's grave eyes, Fujitora assumed a half-squatting horse stance, held his longsword in a reverse grip, and continuously gathered his ability into the sword in his hand.

"Juryoku-tō: Mōko!" (Gravity Blade: Raging Tiger)

With a full-powered horizontal swing, a patch of space in front of him was distorted by the powerful gravity!

Bang!!

The instantly erupting impact slammed fiercely into Reiner's entire body. Spitting out a mouthful of blood, his entire body shot backward like a cannonball.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After crashing through several houses in a row, his body slammed heavily into a mangrove tree.

The wood splintered and flew, and a deep pit was smashed into the trunk. Reiner's entire person was tightly embedded within it.

Following closely behind were countless giant rocks repelled by gravity.

Boom!!!

In the dust and smoke, fine sand mixed with rubble fell. A large number of irregular stone blocks buried Reiner in the tree hole.

"What a monster," Fujitora said, not sheathing his sword, but his expression was grave. He used his Observation Haki and hearing in tandem, focusing intently on the area.

Here it comes!

Bang!

As he twisted his body with a steady step, a sudden impact erupted from the pile of stones, blasting a hole through the tightly packed giant rocks.

"You're this ruthless with your first move?"

Reiner's face was calm as he walked out. There was intense pain all over his body. He raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Then he clasped his hands together, shook his neck, and the bones cracked. He grinned. "Your warm-up is a bit too much."

Freely controlling the strength and direction of gravity, using gravity to squeeze and collide to produce a powerful impact, and also using it to freely control objects...

It was just like a combination of the Gura Gura no Mi and the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi.

"To actually call it a warm-up. This old man was being serious."

Fujitora attached his ability to the Gokudo Kosen. The straight blade seemed to be slightly distorted.

Swish!

Without a half-second's wait, the battle erupted in an instant. The two of them charged towards each other at the same time.

Fujitora swung his cane sword horizontally in a reverse grip. The attached gravity flew out like sword energy. Wherever the slash landed, everything was crushed.

Reiner decisively leaped up, turned, and then lashed out with a whip kick towards the opponent's head.

Bang!!

Fujitora used his sword's scabbard as a shield to block. The unexpectedly heavy force made his arm bend inwards involuntarily, only stopping when his foot was less than ten centimeters from his face.

His ability was then released from the scabbard and attached to it.

Reiner only felt his leg suddenly become heavy, as if a thousand-jin weight had been hung on it.

Unfortunately.

"This level is not even as good as the weights I use for training!" Reiner used the force to turn in the air, kicking out again straight at the opponent's head!

"Jigoku Tabi!" Fujitora shouted in a low voice. An invisible pillar of gravity descended from the sky, enveloping Reiner's entire body.

The sudden gravity deformed his movements, and his entire person was violently slammed downwards vertically.

Reiner used his core strength to stabilize himself, his feet landing heavily on the ground, a spiderweb of cracks spreading out.

Just as he was about to make a move, Fujitora swung his scabbard upwards, and the surrounding gravity field instantly reversed!

"Anti-Gravity!"

Reiner's entire person floated up uncontrollably. Fujitora, on the other hand, turned to his side and took the opportunity to swing his sword down fiercely from above!

Clang!

Timely raising his Armament Haki-wrapped arm to resist, he, who had just been floating, was once again slammed down hard.

Bang!

Reiner's feet landed on the ground, and a dense web of cracks spread out again!

Feeling the gravity enveloping his entire body and the pressure from the sword, Reiner had a more concrete judgment of his current strength.

Without using his undead or his beast form, relying purely on his physical fitness and Haki, he was still slightly suppressed.

However, this was already much stronger than two years ago. Reiner's lips curved up. He raised two fingers and flicked them upwards.

Fujitora frowned, and the shadow under his feet rose up like a living wall!

"Kage Hitsugi!" (Shadow Coffin)

The pitch-black shadow transformed into an upright coffin that enveloped the opponent, and countless sharp shadow blades condensed from all directions within it!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Ten thousand blades pierced through the heart, breaking out of the shadow coffin. A few sharp blade tips faintly carried traces of blood.

Reiner rested his arm at his waist, his fist clenched and charged with Haki as black as ink. He had never expected this level of attack to be able to deal with an Admiral.

As expected.

"Juryoku-tō!" (Gravity Blade)

Clang!

A cold light flashed past. The pitch-black shadow coffin instantly broke open, and even the sharp blades inside were all split in two.

"Pòshā Chōngquán!" (Annihilating Rush Fist)

Just as Fujitora's figure was revealed, Reiner let out a low shout, his heavy punch arriving right after!

"Pierce!!"

Bang!

Fujitora took a horse stance, holding his longsword vertically in a reverse grip to block.

A powerful impact erupted from Reiner's fist. The projected Haki contained within it pierced through the opponent's body and out the other side!

Fujitora gritted his teeth and let out a muffled grunt. His entire person was pushed back dozens of meters, his feet scraping two pitch-black marks on the ground.

"Truly, the younger generation is to be feared."

A trace of blood was squeezed from between his gritted teeth. Fujitora lightly wiped it away, straightened up, and his face became even more serious.

Buru-buru-buru~~

Before he could attack again, the Den Den Mushi in his pocket suddenly rang.

Fujitora paused for a moment, and while vigilantly sensing Reiner, he took out the Den Den Mushi from his pocket.

"Moshi moshi! This is Sentomaru!" The moment it was connected, the Den Den Mushi's eyes widened as it spoke urgently:

"Mr. Issho! We've found Straw Hat's tracks on Grove 46! Please come and support us quickly!"

"This old one is currently engaged with Black Snake Reiner. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it," Fujitora said in a low voice. "Request support from headquarters. It won't take too long for Kizaru to get here."

"..." The other side of the Den Den Mushi was silent for a while, then replied in a low voice, "I understand."

"—Phew," Reiner exhaled a turbid breath. "Dispatching two Admirals is going a bit too far, don't you think?"

Luffy really can't stay hidden.
