Chapter 2622 The Most Dangerous Destabilizing Factor!
"Oh?"
Major Debes, still in his terrifying black bear form.
The pair of dark brown bear ears twitched slightly.
The enormous head slowly turned toward the direction from which the sound came.
It did not originate from the main battlefield of the Navy and the Ghost Corps.
Instead, it was his flank where he was confronting the blonde female gunslinger.
Then he saw a figure strolling leisurely across the mess and bloodstains, walking towards him.
The wooden clogs made a crisp, rhythmic sound as they stepped on the broken cement blocks.
It forms an eerie contrast with the chaotic fighting around it.
The first thing that caught my eye was her short, medium-length hair, which was as deep as night and shimmered with a dark purple light under the sunlight.
A long, slanted fringe fell down, just enough to partially cover his left eye, which was wrapped in bandages.
Beneath the bandages lay a hollow space, and the only remaining feature was the right eye, a blue iris that resembled a cold star in a deep pool.
The most striking feature that makes up this handsome yet dangerous face.
He loosely held a slender pipe between his thin lips.
The bluish-white smoke curled up.
The half-smile on his lips was blurred.
He held a beautifully curved samurai sword in his hand.
Even before the sword was drawn, a chilling aura was already present.
And the butterfly pattern embroidered in gold thread on the fabric of that kimono.
It seemed to tremble slightly with its owner's steps.
Eerie and magnificent.
His demeanor has a touch of the 'Nurarihyon' style.
"Purple hair, one eye, and a yukata with butterfly patterns."
Major Debes's ferocious bear-like face twitched, revealing a smile that was a mixture of confirmation and intense interest.
Then a deep voice rolled like muffled thunder:
"I see, so you are Takasugi Shinsuke."
The other party was highlighted in the mission briefing.
One of the world's most dangerous destabilizing factors.
The governor of the radical anti-foreign activists known as the "Ghost Army".
A madman who attempts to burn the world down.
The picture and description perfectly match the person in front of me.
Takasugi Shinsuke stopped about fifteen meters away from Major Debes.
This distance was just outside the edge of the opponent's terrifying wingspan.
He tilted his head slightly, his right eye reflecting the five-meter-tall black bear's image, and raised an eyebrow with interest.
"Hehehehe~"
Takasugi's voice has a unique, languid yet dangerous magnetism.
"Have I become so famous that even the Navy guy who came out of a 'comic book' knows me?"
He spoke casually, as if he were just talking about today's weather.
Instead of being on a battlefield littered with corpses, facing a monster beyond reason.
Major Debes grinned, revealing two rows of sharp, white teeth.
The smile is full of the predator's pleasure and cruelty that only appear when facing high-value prey.
"more or less."
Anyway, the order from above is 'capture alive if possible'.
He squeezed his bear paws together, making a sickening cracking sound.
"You're really lucky!"
"It's just that I'm not very good at picking up an egg with my fingertips."
"I hope you're not too fragile~"
Major Debes's words carried the subtext of 'I want to inflict as much torture as I want, but I don't want to kill you. You must try your best to survive.'
Upon hearing this, Takasugi Shinsuke not only did not get angry, but instead chuckled.
The laughter was melodious, yet chillingly cold: "That is indeed good news."
He slowly removed the pipe from his lips, held it between his fingers, and the smoke rose straight up.
"It seems I can play a little more 'easily' now."
"At least I don't have to worry about my life."
Major Debes's bear-like eyes narrowed slightly.
The violent aura surrounding him froze instantly.
He's not stupid; he rose through the ranks from the bottom to become a lieutenant commander in the Marine Headquarters and then joined Admiral Kizaru's First Fleet.
It relies on far more than just the power brought by Zoan-type Devil Fruits.
Not to mention it's just an ordinary, unremarkable species.
His fighting instincts warned him at that moment.
The seemingly elegant one-eyed man in front of me is dangerous.
The aura emanating from the other party gradually became calm and deep, yet burning with destructive flames within.
And there was a subtle, almost imperceptible sharpness in his eyes as he seemed to be locking onto the vital points of his body.
All of this demonstrates that the other party's strength is sufficient to pose a threat to them.
The air between them seemed to freeze without them even realizing it.
Invisible forces are colliding and pressing against each other.
But just as this confrontation was about to erupt, a brief lull occurred.
The bloody battlefield not far away suddenly changed.
"What are you doing?!"
"careful!"
"These monsters can't distinguish friend from foe, get away from them!"
"Ah—my hand!"
The Ghost Soldiers, whose ranks had already begun to crumble under the fierce attack of the navy, were now in disarray.
Suddenly, even more shrill screams and chaos erupted.
Five figures, like wild beasts out of control, rampaged through the crowd.
Those were five ordinary Oni soldiers.
But now they look horribly terrifying.
His eyes were bloodshot, he had completely lost his mind, and he was making inhuman hoarse noises.
The long sword he gripped tightly in his hand glowed with an ominous, malevolent red light.
Most horrifyingly, as their sleeves tore, what was revealed was not flesh and blood.
Instead, they were countless slender pipes, twisting wildly and flashing with a cold metallic gleam, clustered together in groups.
Like the tentacles of a mechanical demon.
These pipes are like a swarm of self-aware sea serpents, sweeping and roaming about.
Everything that is close to you.
Whether it was their fellow members of the Ghost Corps or the naval soldiers who took the opportunity to attack.
They were all mercilessly bound, pierced, and then slashed with blades.
"These 'red-tasseled' creatures have finally accumulated enough killing intent to go berserk!"
Kitashima Matako suddenly turned her head to look at the battlefield.
"Hmph, so you're still hiding something like this?"
In the air, Captain Basen's eyes flashed with anger as he looked at the winged creature with wings on its back and immediately gave an order.
"Cass, Daan, Sutton!"
"Join me, one person each, and solve them!"
"The other squad leaders should join forces to hold off the last one!"
The voice just fell.
Captain Basen was the first to dive towards a 'Red Tassel'.
[Crack!]
Under the illusionary effects of 'Breath of Thunder'.
Like a golden lightning bolt falling from the sky.
"Yes!"
Lieutenant Cass, the human swordsman, swung his longsword.
A stream of azure water surrounded a red-tasseled warrior.
"Water Breathing. Unleashed Form. Tide of Strike!"
The bowstring in the hand of Lieutenant Daan, the 'High Elf', vibrated repeatedly, leaving afterimages.
Arrows imbued with wind-attribute magic are aided by two 'wind arms'.
It poured down like a torrential rain on the joints and tentacles of another 'Red Tassel'.
"Phantom Windrunner!"
"charge!"
Lieutenant Sutton of the centaur let out a battle cry.
Sparks flew as the four hooves pounded heavily.
He wielded a crescent-shaped blade engulfed in flames, swinging it wide and powerfully.
It was like a heavy chariot crashing into the third 'red tassel'.
The last out-of-control Red Tassel Warrior was dealt with by three sergeant-level squad leaders.
They temporarily tied each other up with skillful tactical coordination.
However, these monsters, completely dominated by demonic swords and machinery, possess immense strength, feel no pain, and their tentacle attacks are bizarre and cunning.
The red-glowing blades in their hands were exceptionally sharp.
This also put considerable pressure on the navy.
Matako tightened her grip on her two guns.
His gaze shifted back and forth between the chaotic 'Red Tassel' battlefield and the impending duel between Takasugi Shinsuke and Major Debes.
She was extremely anxious, wanting to help suppress Captain Basen and the others, but also deeply worried about Lord Takasugi's safety.
She had just witnessed the strength of that 'bear monster' major.
Wan Qi, known as the "Man Slayer," could barely last a few rounds against him.
"what do I do."
Matako gritted her teeth, her beautiful face full of struggle.
Just as she hesitated, the balance of power was broken.
There was no signal, no warning.
The figures of Shinsuke Takasugi and Major Debes vanished from their spots almost simultaneously, turning into blurry afterimages!
