Chapter 24: Counterattack
"What's going on?"
"Enemy attack, there is an enemy!!"
In the messy manor, the gangsters of the Jiedi family who had just rushed out of the building were running wild, many of them were wearing a pair of shorts, but they were all holding weapons in their hands: daggers, sailor knives, flintlock pistols...
"The enemy is there—"
Bang!
Whenever these thugs try to gather and figure things out. A fist-sized 'explosive' will fly over, setting off a bloody storm and making the scene even more chaotic.
In just half a minute, Dover alone killed more than a dozen thugs.
There were many more wounded and frightened people who fled in all directions.
And the price is that the 'dynamite rock' worth tens of millions of Baileys is consumed, which fully shows what money is power!
Puff,
Wielding the twin knives strapped to his hands, Virgo slashed at the rest of the thugs.
The blade pierced the flesh, and the desperate screams of dying rang out.
"Brother Dover, where's Brother Rosie?"
The once feared Jadi family's manor house has been reduced to a ruin of billowing black smoke, and the flames of the explosion reflect the dazed and screaming thugs.
Dover's maniacal laughter echoed through the manor that had ruled the town of Spidamaluz for more than a decade, causing the head of Polkin, who was following behind, to buzz.
He is just the son of an ordinary working family, even if he has a lot of blood, but he suddenly fell into this cruel battlefield where flesh and blood fly and life disappears in seconds, and the whole person is confused, and he subconsciously wants to find support.
And the only one who can give him a sense of security is the good-natured Rosinandi.
"Rosie..."
Dover, who had turned into a bomb maniac, swept around and had lost his resistance, and the thugs were scurrying around, and his eyes fell on the open door of the main house in front of him.
"Let's go, let's go in!"
Flintlock pistol drawn, Dover took the lead.
Covered in blood, Virgo abandoned his other opponents and rushed through the main door.
I...
Polkin, who was carrying a barrel of explosives, swept around the injured thugs around him, and could only rush in.
Stay out here, and when those thugs come to their senses, being hacked to death with knives is their only fate.
And Rossi at this time:
"Die!!"
In the corridor, the jet-black dagger in Rossi's hand as he flew back slashed a dull light, fast and accurate!
Bypassing the hound's outstretched claws, it sank beneath the two rows of open fangs, striking the hound in the throat with precision.
A knife seals the throat, and the middle throat will die!
This hound, which weighed an astonishing fifty kilograms, and his hair couldn't even hide his muscular outline... Or the sharp claws of some unknown creature, and the sturdy limbs died at the hands of Rossi before they could do their job.
But immediately after that, three hounds chased after each other, one of them crouched down and bit Rossi's ankle, the other brutally grabbed Rossi's chest, and the last one even leaped up to the wall, using the power of the bounce to pounce!
The three hounds attacked Rossi at the same time from different angles, high and low, so that no matter how fast and fierce Rossi's dagger was, how accurate and ruthless it was! Kill at most one, and you'll be pounced on by the remaining hounds.
And once he fell to the ground, the ensuing frenzied bites would bring the battle to an end.
Made!!
Even the brutes know how to cooperate with the siege?
Rosie, who was complaining frantically in her heart, slammed into the door next to her, and with a loud bang, the whole person fell into the room dangerously.
Immediately after, the figure of a group of hounds rushed through the door frantically!
Quickly rolling up, Rossi put his arms in front of him, and rushed straight towards the window next to him.
Whoa—
With the sound of glass exploding, Rossi's figure leaped out wrapped in a large number of shiny glass shards.
Falling on the grass and getting up from a tumble, I don't know how many glass shards have been inserted in my body, because the footsteps of the unrelenting hound behind me are approaching rapidly.
In the next second, a group of agile figures flew out, outflanking from the left and right in the whistle behind them, and surrounded Rossi, who was covered in blood.
"Deliberately running to the backyard, you're here to save people?"
A strong man in a leather coat and a hood jumped out of the window after him.
"It's so pathetic, I managed to break into here."
The whip in his hand hung casually on the ground, and the strong man looked at Rosie, who was surrounded by hounds, and blood-soaked words came from under the pitch-black hood.
"My 'children' like the flesh and blood of the strong the most, followed by the children..."
The implication is that Rossi fits both qualities.
Blessed!
"Ha, being called a 'strong man' really makes me really scared."
Is Rosie strong?
Compared to ordinary people, nature is much stronger!
Not to mention the ability of the 'Silent Fruit', the body that has begun to develop has shown great strength, agility, and recovery ability.
Coupled with the traverser's 'careless' character, not to mention ordinary people, even professional gangsters were killed by him like chickens.
But to say that the strong...
On the other side, the animal trainer who controls a dozen hounds can chase him to the ground.
And this beast trainer's hound, compared to the mount of the animal trainer Mochi under the future Clown Emperor Bucky, the two-meter-tall lion Niche, is not even a rabbit.
In other words, the current Rossi is not even as good as a cadre who was casually killed by Luffy who had just gone to sea.
In terms of bounty, it is estimated that it is six or seven million Bailey...
"Relying on hounds is just a man's fight against a dog."
In the face of Rosie's taunt, the strong man with the hood shook his head disdainfully.
"Naive,"
"I'm going to let go of 'kids' and play heads-up with you—"
"That's right,"
Covered in blood, Rossi touched a handful of hair and 'combed' a large golden-red back with blood.
"I've seen through your tricks, and the next step is heads-up time."
?
After making such an announcement, Rosie bent down, made a powerful running motion, and then kicked his feet!
shout
The whole person turned into a sharp arrow and rushed towards the strong man in the hood!
"Kill him,"
In the face of Rossi's charge, the strong man in the leather coat just calmly gave the order.
···
However, the hounds, who were supposed to attack from all sides at once, remained motionless, still maintaining a posture of siege but not attack, as if they were really waiting for their 'master' and Rossi to fight each other.
?
What—
While the beast tamer was stunned, Rossi was already approaching him at high speed! Before he had time to think about why the hounds were motionless, he immediately waved the whip in his hand.
The long whip in his hand rolled like a python, and it slashed at the rushing Rosie like lightning!
The whip in the hands of the animal trainer is specially made, covered with countless sharp barbs.
As long as a whip falls, a string of flesh can be 'dug' from the enemy, and countless 'tough guys' are kneeling under his whip and begging for mercy, and the boy can only hide-
Gotta hide!
Syllable!
In the face of this ferocious attack, Rossi just tilted his head and let the whip fall on his shoulder, and the barb of the whip immediately pierced the clothes, cutting through the skin and revealing the tender red flesh underneath.
This whip whipped half of Rossi's shoulders into a bloody blur on the spot!
However, Rosie had already seized this opportunity and stepped out quickly, and the whole person rushed directly in front of the tall strong man in leather coat and mask.
Oops –
In the final analysis, the whip is a taming attack, a means of torture, but it is not a full-time weapon.
Unexpectedly, the boy in front of him actually resisted the attack with his body, and the animal trainer had no time to withdraw his weapon, seeing that the pitch-black dagger in the opponent's hand had stabbed fiercely into the lower abdomen, he could only stretch out his hand downward.
Puff,
"Ahh Gremlin!! ”
Although he blocked the thorn, the huge pain from the piercing palm made the beast trainer furious on the spot. While the five fingers subconsciously clenched the dagger, countless ways of torturing people flashed in their minds.
"I'm going to let the 'kids' tear you to ——?"
However, during the battle, Rosie did not have the habit of listening to other people's mouths, and reached out to grab the collar and belt of the opponent's leather coat while stumbling under his feet.
"Up!"
With a pull, Rosie's stiff leather-clad masked man lifted up, and then threw it at the hounds.
boom
"Wang?"
"Whoa—"
In the face of the smashing 'master', a group of hounds jumped away with agility, and a low sound came out of their throats, which is a unique deterrent before canines attack.
"Bastard—"
"Give it to me, shred him!!"
The animal trainer who turned over from the ground and sat up was furious, he had never been so embarrassed! You must cut this guy with a thousand knives and make it into dog food...
"Save it, your 'kids' can't hear what you're saying."
No matter how clever an animal trainer is, he also needs a voice and a whip to make the animal form a 'conditioned reflex'. And once there is no sound and no tools, not to mention animals, even humans cannot understand what their kind of people want to express.
In the 'eyes' of many hunting dogs, their owners have not given new orders after giving the order to 'surround the prey', and they and the prey have begun to 'dance'.
And...
The pierced palm of the animal trainer smashed into the hounds kept dripping blood, causing the hounds accustomed to eating human flesh to shake their noses and their eyes to become blood-red.
"What do you think would have happened if the trainer had no whip?"
Faced with Rosie's question, the strong man in leather who had just gotten up from the ground was stunned, and the expression under the hood instantly froze.
submit
A pack of grinning hounds were staring at him, their blood-red pupils revealing ferocity!
In order to keep these hounds fighting, the Beast Trainer has kept them in a state of starvation, and yet:
Bleeding, no whip, no orders... That's not the 'master'.
"You... You guys... Fuck off! ”
With a wave of his hand, the trainer tried to chase away the cannibal hounds.
However, the horror in his 'silent' rage, and the blood flying from his wounds made these hounds easily see through the essence of his weakling: food!
In an instant, the hounds pounced from all directions, knocking the trainer to the ground on the spot.
"Ahh
Amid the tearing, chewing, and swallowing sounds, there was a strange leaking sound, the sound of a human being bitten off their throats.
'Big Bill' Thompson's men,
One of the bosses: 'Man-Eating Dog' Toru, death!
