Chapter 696: The Real One Appears!
"As expected of Captain Ryuunosuke."
"To remain this calm even inside an AT Field..."
"I have to admit, I admire you quite a bit."
As the man in black spoke, he slowly removed his mask and cloak.
A tall man appeared before Ryuunosuke.
Yet even after seeing his face clearly, Ryuunosuke still felt absolutely no sense of familiarity.
"Who are you?"
Ryuunosuke asked calmly.
Hearing that, the man’s face instantly twisted with embarrassnt and indignation.
Originally, he had planned to put on a proper show first, then make a grand self introduction, and finally strike before Ryuunosuke could react.
Now the whole rhythm had been completely ruined.
"What are you doing?"
"You keep twitching and squirming like that. It’s disgusting."
Ryuunosuke looked at the strange man in front of him with visible distaste.
He had only asked for the man’s na, yet the other party had imdiately gone into so bizarre, agitated fit.
Honestly, if it had been a woman, Ryuunosuke felt he might not have found it so unbearable.
But the one standing in front of him was a burly man.
A muscular one at that.
That affected, twisted mannerism was truly revolting.
"Captain Ryuunosuke..."
"Although I acknowledge your strength, you must now pay for the words you just uttered."
"You will pay the price you deserve!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, the gray mist around him instantly gathered and ford a longsword in his hand.
The next mont, he charged straight at Ryuunosuke.
"So that mist was imitating the power of a divine artifact?"
"And I can sense another thing too. The AT Field you created is pathetic."
"A Copy Copy Fruit user?"
The corners of Ryuunosuke’s lips rose slightly as he drew A no Habakiri and the Pact of the Underworld.
In an instant, countless slashes appeared in every direction.
Even though no one could clearly see Ryuunosuke moving, the slashes continued to erupt one after another.
"This... impossible, you can’t..."
"Illusory Mist!"
The man shouted, and a massive amount of mist instantly poured out from his body.
Very quickly, the fog blanketed the area.
Ryuunosuke’s slashes entered the mist and vanished completely, like mud sinking into the sea.
"So this is the condition, or the effect, needed to activate your ability?"
"It really is quite good."
"But if this is all you have... then aren’t you underestimating a little?"
After speaking, Ryuunosuke imdiately activated his Rinnegan.
Copying was not sothing only the man in front of him could do.
In the next mont, black and crimson flas rose instantly.
Boom boom boom boom!
The gray mist exploded the mont it ca into contact with the flas.
The man collapsed imdiately from the blast.
At the sa ti, the AT Field shattered and disappeared.
"Hey, Kuzan..."
"Was it really this guy who defeated you?"
Ryuunosuke looked at Kuzan in the distance with a puzzled expression.
This man’s ability was strange, but not nearly powerful enough to crush the three of them so easily.
Other than the AT Field...
Thinking that far, Ryuunosuke suddenly understood sothing.
If this man had wrapped himself in gray mist and then activated the AT Field, then it really would have been difficult for Kuzan and the other two to break through it with their attacks.
"Has it been dealt with?"
Kuzan walked over at that mont.
Looking at the man lying on the ground, he seed slightly surprised, yet also thought it was only natural.
"Yes, it’s handled."
"That mist of his wasn’t really fog in the pure sense."
"It was made of so unknown particles used to interfere with vision."
"So burning it with flas works very well."
"As for why Sakazuki’s magma had no effect, it was probably because the particles were carbonized directly without ever being exposed to an open fla."
Ryuunosuke gave a brief explanation.
Of course, he did not know for certain if that was the exact reason, but it was probably sothing close to it.
"Oh..."
"I didn’t really understand it, but it looks like that guy is trying to run."
Kuzan pointed off to the side and spoke calmly while watching the man flee at high speed.
"He’s running?"
"No. He can’t escape now."
"Because..."
Boom!
In the next mont, a Planet Destroyer Cannon swallowed the fleeing man whole.
This ti, he was truly vaporized completely.
"The Eternal Ark?"
"That really is terrifying."
"That kind of attack is beyond anything we can produce."
Kuzan looked at the place where the man had been obliterated and spoke with a complicated expression.
After all, they were considered monsters in their own right.
And even then, they had only reached their current level by relying on their Devil Fruits and years of training.
Now they could not even compare to a single ship.
That feeling was truly frustrating.
"Isn’t that normal?"
"The Eternal Ark devoured countless warships, pirate ships, Pluton, and multiple Hearts of Eternity."
"If it still didn’t have this kind of power, then Gaino might as well kill himself."
"Right, Gaino?"
Ryuunosuke looked at Gaino on his shoulder with a smile.
"Uh..."
"Captain, I understand. I’ll work harder..."
Gaino trembled.
It seed he really had to display his value more clearly from now on.
Otherwise, who knew when Ryuunosuke might start disliking him...
"Alright, enough joking."
"It’s about ti for those people over there to co out, isn’t it?"
"They used such a low level trick to lure us here."
"Even if I don’t know how you got the information, now that I’m here, it would be a little rude to keep hiding, wouldn’t it?"
Ryuunosuke looked into the distance and spoke with a smile.
"As expected of Captain Ryuunosuke..."
"But since you ca here this ti, it should have been to kill , right?"
Just then, an overwhelmingly powerful aura shot straight into the sky.
The surrounding space even began to distort beneath that terrifying pressure.
Adam, holding the Spear of Longinus, slowly walked toward Ryuunosuke.
At Adam’s side stood a woman with an extrely frail appearance.
That had to be Eve.
She certainly looked like the kind of woman for whom Adam would be willing to do all of this.
"Kill you?"
"I have no such intention. At least, not imdiately."
"There is only one thing I want, and that is the Seed of God."
"As long as you enter into a restriction and vow with , there is no need for us to fight."
Ryuunosuke said directly.
"Hah?"
"You expect to trust you, only to end up like Lilith and be killed by you?"
"Of course, I do still have so doubts about how exactly you managed to kill Lilith."
"But I will not let you kill that easily!"
As Adam spoke, he lifted the Spear of Longinus and aid it directly at Ryuunosuke.
"I see."
"So battle really is unavoidable after all."
"Then let see for myself."
"Just how powerful are you?"
"And if you lose, all those divine artifacts you created..."
"You will take them all back."
As soon as Ryuunosuke finished speaking, his aura began rising steadily.
The collision between their presences instantly ford a new AT Field.
Compared to the shabby thing that man had just released earlier, this one was far more valuable.
"This is a battle between gods."
"Say, what do you think would happen if we got involved?"
Kuzan asked directly.
"Get involved?"
"Are you insane?"
"You’d die."
Borsalino replied with his usual odd expression.
Still, his words were not wrong.
Whether it was the Spear of Longinus, Ryuunosuke’s A no Habakiri, or the Pact of the Underworld...
None of those were things they could endure head on.
