Chapter 25: Fear
"Goodo......"
Bucky swallowed hard, his Adam's apple accidentally rubbing against the Wind Blade across his neck as he swallowed, goosebumps erupting from the cold touch of the blade.
Cold sweat fell frantically from his forehead, cold sweat broke out on his back and front heart, and his clothes were already wet with sweat in just a moment.
But fortunately, the pants are fine, and they can be regarded as retaining a trace of face.
"Well, listen to me." Trying to make a final effort, the dream of One Piece has not yet been realized, and even the East China Sea has not yet gone out, and Bucky really wants to live.
However, Sauron didn't give him a chance.
With a slight force on the fingers on the hilt of the sword, the sharp blade of the Wind Blade sliced through Bucky's neck like a hot knife cutting through butter, and the stunned and frightened emotions stayed on Bucky's pale face, his eyes bloodshot like cobwebs, and his heavy breathing quietly stagnated.
Gradually, a black line appeared on Bucky's neck.
Bucky tried to reach out and touch his wound, but Zoro didn't stop after slicing his neck, and his knife-wielding right hand suddenly vanished into a phantom and disappeared from everyone's sight, and then the wind swept around him.
The image in front of him suddenly became blurry, but Bucky's consciousness was still awake, and he could feel strange sensations coming from every part of his body.
Arms, waist, abdomen, chest, wrists, thighs, calves, and tail bones, the tingling sensation of separation of flesh and bone reached his nerves, as if to foretell the pain of distance to come.
"Boom!"
The Wind Blade was sheathed again, and Sauron's right hand, which had just been transformed into a phantom, reappeared in the eyes of everyone.
But compared to Zoro, everyone present still chose to focus on the frozen Bucky.
He still maintained the posture of outstretched hands, and the expression on his face did not change, but fine black lines appeared all over his body, like a cut neck.
"I'm ......" Bucky's lips opened slightly, but before he could utter a single word, he was horrified to find his jaw free from the shackles of his facial muscles and bones and falling to the ground.
"Uh...... Click, goo. "The mouth was exposed to the air, the pink gums and teeth that I didn't know how many days had not been brushed shook in the cool breeze, and a series of unknown sounds came out of my throat, and Bucky's body covered with black lines began to gradually disintegrate.
The limbs slipped out of place like building blocks, the fingers were broken together, the limbs were cut into pieces like sliced ham, and the torso was out of Bucky's control, and the muscles involuntarily fell off to the sides, making him look like a Michelin tire man who had fallen apart.
"Captain Bucky!" Such a brutal scene made the pirates who had already seen the wind and waves and blood unbearable to look at it anymore, looking at Bucky, who was forced to break apart, and the pirates of the Bucky Pirates couldn't help but feel sad.
Although you are dead today, you are still my idol, and for the rest of your life, let us finish your unfinished life for you!
Zoro stroked the hilt of the Wind Blade, glanced sideways at Deputy Captain Mochi, who was stunned and thinking about where to go after inheriting the position of Captain Bucky, and said, "Why don't you hurry up and put this fish-man down, it will be familiar later." ”
"Huh? Oh oh, right now! Mochi came back to his senses from his fantasy and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Then he wiped the unknown liquid on his shoulder, reached out and twitched the head of Lion Niche beside him: "Take your saliva back for me." ”
Lion Nichy, who was engrossed in staring at the "grilled fish", did not know what was going on, and after being beaten, he stared at his master with a puzzled expression.
Zoro didn't bother with Mochi and his pet, just looked at the pieces of meat that had fallen on the ground, found half of Bucky's head and said, "Remember this lesson, don't let me see you do this next time." ”
The surrounding pirates were a little puzzled, and they were hit hard by this, but any living creature should almost die, could it be that their own captain is still alive?
Thinking like this, the pieces of flesh on the ground moved, and I saw the buckies scattered on the ground slowly floating, and the jaws that had fallen off first also returned to their rightful place.
"Oh, that feels terrible." As soon as he could speak, Bucky expressed his feelings about being mutilated, not that he didn't want to condemn Zoro's actions, but he really didn't dare.
None of the people present could experience the shock he had just felt, and he couldn't even raise the slightest thought of fighting it in front of Sauron, and even when the Wind Blade was on his neck, it was as if a chill that could pierce his soul seeped into every inch of his body, binding him in place and unable to move.
This was the first time Bucky had faced Zoro's attack, and he had thought that even if Sauron could defeat the ghost sword Yasuo, it would not be so powerful that it could not be matched, but at the moment when Sauron drew his sword, the momentum that Bucky felt on him was like a towering mountain, which could not be measured at all.
For a moment, he almost thought it was the red-haired guy standing in front of him.
The guy who was a trainee on Captain Roger's ship at the beginning is now the famous Four Emperors, and he is still cowering in a small place in the East China Sea to do nonsense, and he is even bullied by a little ghost and does not dare to fight back, so he is really going back more and more.
Shaking his head, Bucky said a little discouraged, "Got it." ”
After saying that, he didn't want to stay here to talk to his men, although they would say some flattering things that he liked to hear, but now he somehow refused to do so.
Bucky knew in his heart that he had survived only with his Devil Fruit abilities, and that Sauron didn't really want to keep his life here. If Zoro is really bent on killing Bucky, then none of the people present will be able to stop him, and it is unknown whether anyone will even step forward to stop him.
Frustrated, Bucky returns to his room, reminding himself of life on the Auro Jackson, with redheads, up close and personal with legends, and admiring the man known as the One Piece.
The memory is beautiful, but the reality has changed drastically, he has always believed that the Devil Fruit he inadvertently ate changed the trajectory of his life, bleak his otherwise glorious future, and he also hated the red-haired Shanks who made him eat the Devil Fruit by mistake.
It's just that now it seems that he just refuses to accept reality.
After Captain Roger's death, Redhead invited him to join him on an adventure, but he knew that he would be subdued by him sooner or later with his skills, so he chose to leave and establish his own pirate group. However, in the past so many years, his pirate group has been established, but he still hasn't grown at all, not to mention compared to the red hair, even the fledgling newcomer can press him to the ground and beat him.
After so many years of unscrupulous behavior in the East China Sea, Bucky finally felt the fear of death for the first time in a long time.
Who would have thought that Bucky, the clown who dared to rush forward against the Whitebeard Pirates back then, has now become a big red nose that even his fellow pirates would laugh at, even he didn't expect it.
Reaching out and grabbing a bottle of wine on the table, he unscrewed the lid and poured all the wine into his mouth, the spicy wine passed through his throat and into his stomach like a burning pain, as if this could dilute the emotions and chills in his heart.
The feeling of being divided by Sauron has not yet dissipated, and the fear that goes deeper into the marrow than falling into the deep sea may become a shadow and stay in his heart for a lifetime.
"Redhead, if it's you......"
With a slightly misty gaze, Bucky stared at the bottle of wine reflecting the moonlight in front of him, as if he saw a red-haired man in a straw hat laughing and reaching out to greet him.
