The air was thick with the stench of burning, mingling with the sll of blood, making it hard to breathe.
The man before them was a pirate with a bounty of 55 million berries—Boars the Black Hawks!
A Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, the Giant Eagle and a master of two-sword style!
The man glared at Jake.
Originally standing at two and a half ters tall, he now towered at nearly four ters, his muscles bulging grotesquely.
With a furious roar, black feathers sprouted along his arms.
With a swing of his arms, the sound of slicing air echoed as the feathers shot forth, sealing off all possible escape routes for Jake.
Yet, faced with Boars' attack, Jake showed no panic.
He rely lifted his foot slightly.
As two golden slashes of light soared through the air, his voice finally rang out calmly.
"Rankyaku: Judgnt!"
Infused with the Power of Holy Light, this Rankyaku not only retained its cutting edge but also dazzled the opponent's eyes while applying either a burning or paralyzing effect.
Moreover, since Jake's Rankyaku had reached the second level, both its sharpness and speed had increased dramatically.
The golden Rankyaku sliced through the feathers effortlessly, reducing them to fragnts before continuing its relentless advance toward Oars.
But Boars remained unfazed by Jake's attack.
Those feathers were rely a test of his opponent's strength—he could produce as many as he wanted.
He drew his two long swords from his waist, his face twisted in a fierce expression as he charged towards the two golden slashes.
It wasn't that Boars couldn't dodge them—he simply wanted to test just how strong Jake is.
These two blades were both fine-grade swords.
As for great-grade or supre-grade swords, he lacked the ability to wield them.
The swords were nad Bloodstain and Frost Snow.
As a faint layer of Armant Haki wrapped around the blades, the mont their edges t the slashes, Boars sensed an intense burning and numbing sensation radiating from the attacks.
The slashes themselves weren't particularly powerful, but the relentless scorching and paralyzing effects left his entire body tingling.
"Damn it!"
With another surge of muscle strength, Boars deflected the two slashes.
The golden slashes changed trajectory, cleanly slicing through two small houses behind him, leaving behind smooth, razor-sharp cuts.
Yet, the instant the slashes were deflected, Jake's voice rang out.
"Spear of Victory!"
He wasn't about to fight in so turn-based ga.
The mont Boars chose to block his slashes, he had already fallen into Jake's combat rhythm!
The spear ford from Holy Light shimred with dazzling brilliance.
In the split second Boars instinctively narrowed his eyes, Jake's arm muscles bulged as the spear traced a graceful arc through the air, thrusting straight towards Boars heart.
Faced with Jake's attack, Boars rely snorted coldly.
Raising his twin blades, he slightly lowered his stance,
"Twin Sword Style Secret Technique: Mountain Demon!"
In an instant, Boars two swords moved like the jaws of a monstrous beast, slashing from left and right at an incredibly tricky angle, colliding with the Spear of Victory.
A harsh tallic screech echoed as sparks flew.
The spear's hardness far exceeded Oars' expectations—his attack couldn't cleave through it instantly.
And in that brief delay, a numbness surged through Boars entire body.
The electric current wasn't overwhelmingly strong, but it caused his muscles to spasm involuntarily.
For a swordsman, losing grip on his blades was one step away from defeat.
Jake's expression remained unchanged.
The mont Boars chose to block his Rankyaku, he knew the man was testing him.
So, he played along—letting Boars grow accustod to the Rankyaku's hardness while switching to the far more durable Spear of Victory, ensuring prolonged contact with his Holy Light Energy.
Whether it was the burning effect, paralysis, or other debuffs, as long as they took hold, it marked the first step of his plan's success.
And the second step? Seizing this mont to unleash his other two abilities!
In the next mont, a golden cross ford from Holy Light Energy materialized in Jake's hand.
Beneath his feet, faint violet ripples spread as he closed the distance to Boars in a blur of speed.
"Sprint Slash: Soru!"
"Judgnt Hamr Strike!"
Combining the Sprint Slash, a common rapid movent skill among priests, with the instantaneous burst speed of Soru, Jake had already closed the distance to Boars before the latter could react.
Several pale yellow feathers materialized on the cross in Jake's hand, now fully coated in pitch-black Armant Haki, as he swung it fiercely towards Boars head.
Even in this dire situation, Boars managed to cover his head with Armant Haki at the last mont, forcibly enduring the blow.
However, the purpose of the Judgnt Hamr Strike wasn't to deal damage.
Even with Armant Haki, it was rely a feint to disguise Jake's true intent.
As an uncontrollable, bizarre force surged through him, Boars found his body being flung uncontrollably into the air!
The force was utterly unnatural, leaving Boars no ti to react.
Instinctively, he turned his gaze towards Jake, his pupils dilating slightly at the sight of the flickering pale blue lightning enveloping his opponent.
Though he couldn't comprehend how Jake was summoning lightning, the terrifying current coursing through his entire body forced a pained scream from his lips.
"Lightning Call!"
The attack speed of the Lightning Call was swift, but its speed was slow.
For a swordsman like Boars, who possessed a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, dodging it wouldn't have been difficult.
To ensure the attack landed, everything up to this point had been a setup!
The electric current tore through his flesh, filling the air with the stench of charred at as large patches of blackened burns spread across Boars body.
The terrifying electricity pierced every inch of him, causing his body to convulse uncontrollably.
Foam spilled from his mouth.
But Jake remained vigilant.
Watching the blackened, white-eyed Boars suspended in midair, he summoned a pale golden light sword in his hand and shouted.
"Right-Angle Sword Technique: Sacred Bird!"
The sword light was enveloped in holy energy as a slash spanning nearly five to six ters shot from Jake's blade, streaking straight towards Boars in the air.
Jake's eyes remained fixed on the scene before him, but in the next mont, his heart sank.
