20: Black Hand

One by one, the mafia and the soldiers fell, and if you looked closely, you could find slender wounds in their necks, like masterpieces left by sharp blades. And now, they finally stopped, and surrounded Takichen in the center, the weapons in their hands were always on guard and monitoring his every move.

Even if there are good people among them, from the moment they raise their weapons, they no longer deserve sympathy.

There is no right or wrong between good and evil, only a difference in position.

Fear began to spread, and as they watched their companions fall one after another for some reason, they became afraid, and some even dropped their weapons and turned and ran backwards.

Comparatively speaking, the soldiers were far from being wary of Takijin in the center of the battlefield, and there was no defection.

Using the ability of mass destruction is very physically demanding, and even if Takichen can't cut through steel, how much sharpness can the flesh and blood withstand? Not to mention the fact that it is still a group of people who will only look for courage in weapons and blare with weapons.

Is it scary? The answer is obvious.

For Takichen, it's just a waste of physical strength, and it is enough to make these people run away because of fear.

Those who ran away, Takijin didn't pay attention to them, because all he needed was a suitable place, an open space without the interference of idle people.

Takichen pointed the demon knife diagonally to the ground, and inadvertently looked at Hachiha's gaze as if he was mocking the mafia's incompetence.

Eventually, the impatient officer spoke: "This country, if we weren't protecting, those civilians would have died at the hands of pirates." ”

"With the mafia? It's just an excuse to cover up ugly desires. I know what the Eight Feather Qi is planning, and what reason do you have to trust you who are in the same boat as the mafia at this moment? ”

"It's all for the country."

"I don't care what will happen to this country in the future, and I don't agree with what you said, since they have all taken up arms, let's fight with dignity and use the glory of the soldiers of your kingdom. Or, you have cast away your glory and chosen to take me captive with them. ”

There were no extra words, and after signaling to the soldiers behind them, the soldiers left the open space to the two of them.

Although Takichen's behavior is a bit cunning, it would be great if he could reduce the consumption of physical strength. After all, the Eight Feathers who stopped to watch the battle were not kind-hearted people, and if he really listened to the officer's words, it would make people feel suspicious.

A rare user of the Great Sword, a life-length Great Sword is easily swung in the air like a wooden stick, but it has a powerful destructive power that a wooden stick does not have.

The sharp edge combined with the weight of the broadsword leaves a devastation on the flat ground.

The sound of steel colliding came to his ears, and Takichen, who was facing the big sword, slid backwards several meters with a knife because of the huge force, and his hands holding the demon sword trembled slightly.

Then, Takichen held the demon knife with one hand, naturally fell to the ground, and trotted towards the man, the tip of the knife drew a straight line on the ground, and he took off to dodge the big sword that swung horizontally towards him and swung it downward.

The officer's protective arm blocked the demon knife that slashed at him, and then with the sound of the wind whistling by, his right leg slammed into Takichen's chest.

Just as the ferocious blow was about to touch his body, Takichen quickly retracted his knife with the help of the demon knife's shocking force, and rolled backwards to dodge the blow with athlete's foot.

Obviously he couldn't see it, but the man used his high defensive ability to block the swing of the demon knife.

"You're a Devil Fruit Ability."

A slightly surprised gaze flashed, and then stared at Takitaki more vigilantly.

"Maybe, if you think my ability is to make weapons transparent, then you have to be careful."

Takichen acknowledges the fact that he is a Devil Fruit powerhouse, but he doesn't reveal his ability, after all, it's a stupid thing to do.

Because Devil Fruits are already precious, their prices are very high, and this thing is even more unattainable, so Devil Fruit abilities are even rarer.

What makes people remember is not only its expensiveness, but also the strange ability that can make people transform.

"Through the blow."

Taking advantage of his ability to elementalize, Takichen gave up defense and chose to exchange injuries for injuries.

The demon knife was raised sideways in the air, and stabbed the man in the chest in a stabbing fashion. As the great sword whizzed through Takita's body, the gap left on Takichen's body extended from his left shoulder to his thigh, and even the ground behind him was clearly visible.

In a hurry, the man shifted his body slightly, and the demon knife pierced through the officer's slightly weaker left arm.

With the dull sound of the greatsword on the ground, the officer's left arm fell limply. On the other hand, Takichen's body that had been cut in half was restored to its original state under the incredulous gaze of everyone.

"Sting!"

With the screeching sound of rubbing against the metal armguard, the blood-stained demon knife returned to Takitaki's hand, and the graceful arc of the blade could be seen from the general outline of the blood-stained blade.

The officer gasped, sweat oozing from his forehead, and the pain coming from his left arm constantly irritated his nerves. However, at this moment, after Takitsu and the officer distanced themselves, the eight feathers who were quietly approaching the officer's back showed their claws.

The shot was very fast, and the target was aimed directly at the back of the officer's heart.

Perhaps sensing the malice from behind, the officer tensed his nerves and turned around to block the big sword in front of him. In the man's somewhat puzzled gaze, the great sword that had been with him all along turned into fragments and scattered on the storefront.

Then, with an angry question, the officer opened the distance between him and Hachiyuqi.

"What are you doing?"

Out of vigilance against Takichen, the officer leaned over to the soldier's side.

"It's just a matter of cleaning up the people who get in the way."

The sneak attack of the Eight Feathers did not succeed, and he stopped after missing, and he had no intention of striking again.

"The kingdom does not provide you with money in exchange for your betrayal."

"You're mistaken, I didn't intend to follow that man's orders in the first place."

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"What this kingdom needs is people like me, and an incompetent king should abdicate early."

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Although you are in the way, I admit that you are a rare help, are you willing to help me?"

The battle ushered in a short pause, and it was undoubtedly a good thing for Takichen that the Eight Feathers chose to take action against the alliance at this time.

Attacking an ally while fighting the enemy, if he has no problem with his brain, or he has other plans, killing the officer in front of him is just taking advantage of this opportunity.

"Your partnership doesn't seem to be so pleasant."

"I'll settle accounts with you in the future."

After the officer finished speaking, he rushed forward again, and after being stripped of one hand, even the flexibility of his body was affected.

The person who will not hesitate to break the alliance will be solved, and it seems that the man will be an obstacle to him in some places.

After losing the broadsword, the man relied on the heavy armor to repeatedly block Takito's demon sword. When it comes to physical arts, it is naturally not weak for being able to swing the broadsword easily, even though it only has one arm, but every punch carries a chilling wind.

The Eight Feathers stepped aside again, as if preparing for something.

The demon sword burst into sparks on the armor, and the sound full of texture clearly came into the ears, and the battle couldn't help but become fierce.
