Achieving Nothing, I Can Only Be the Pirate King-Chapter 603 - 357: Can’t You Show Some Dignity?

Hoo!

The wind howled even more fiercely than before.

Sage and Zephyr locked eyes for a moment, until Zephyr pulled on his mechanical arm, slowly raising it upward.

Like triggering a mechanism, Sage smiled grimly, his hands tensed, and his whole body vanished.

As an afterimage struck, Zephyr’s giant mechanical arm suddenly drove upward.

Bang!

A pitch-black fist slammed heavily on Zephyr’s mechanical arm, creating a dull sound.

In the instant of their contact, Ain also moved, she pulled out a flintlock gun, while her other hand glowed, her long legs stomped on the ground in rapid succession, darting swiftly toward Sage.

Shing!

But in the moment she moved, a light flashed before her, causing Ain’s pupils to contract, and she quickly withdrew.

The light sliced through her bangs, cutting off half of it.

Bang bang bang!

Ain drew another pistol from her thigh with her other hand, with the dual guns firing, she unleashed several bullets driven by Haki.

Tss tss tss!

As the bullets shot into the air, they were sliced by flashing silver, cutting them all apart.

Under the silver light, Lily, wearing a battle armor skirt, stood strikingly before Ain with a white thunder in hand, her beautiful eyes glimmering with light.

She raised the white thunder, aimed it straight at Ain, and said coldly, "Ability user, your opponent is me."

The glow from earlier made Lily somewhat startled, the danger detected by Observation wasn’t fake; if hit by that ability, it would be troublesome.

But striking it was also quite difficult.

"Sprout, sprout!"

Binz, wearing a ninja suit, used ’Soru’ to quickly rush to the side, his body twisting constantly, causing the grass in those areas to rise, forming thick vines that charged forward with him.

"Ah, ability user can control plants huh?"

Marika smiled, "Being able to control plant growth is quite nice..."

A thick vine whipped like a lash toward her, yet at that moment, a mass of red-hot molten liquid erupted beside Marika, heading straight toward it.

Boom!

The vine was half melted by the red molten liquid, then flames erupted, igniting the twisting vines behind.

Molten iron capable of melting steel, its heat was something plants could not withstand.

These thick plants might block bullets and explosions, but could not defend against slashes and burning...

"Leave him to me, Lady Marika."

Gin stood forward, his hand still carrying residue of the molten steel liquid, "I will defeat him."

This ability user, letting Gin who has the greatest counter ability handle it, is undoubtedly the easiest.

"Leave him alive, this power to make plants grow," Marika smiled.

Devil Fruits are features of the sea, aside from boosting combat power, they have other uses.

Abilities like this, Marika felt would be best for increasing food supply.

She wouldn’t eat this ability, but could give it to her subordinates.

An ability that can accelerate plant growth can make rare ingredients with long cycles quickly grow, and can even produce more seeds.

This guy must be captured alive!

"Oh... you only have two people under you, no, three."

Sage gradually applied more pressure, the mechanical arm of Zephyr creaking under the strain.

"And one more, being skinned alive, his ribs to be opened, before becoming ’Blood Eagle,’ he won’t die. Sometimes even I’m surprised, the craftsmanship of that Demon Race can be so good."

Bang!

"Sage, you brat!"

The mechanical arm couldn’t bear the heavy pressure and snapped open, as Zephyr shouted, his other hand dyed black, punched straight towards Sage.

Simultaneously, Zephyr swung the exposed mechanical arm downward, grabbing Sage’s body.

"I am profoundly disappointed at you becoming an ability user!"

This mechanical arm has seastone.

The previous Sage was highly threatening, his whole body could serve as a weapon, a master of body techniques.

But becoming an ability user, they have weaknesses!

Seastone makes ability users unable to use their powers and renders them powerless!

Pow!

His fist landed on Sage’s face, yet it didn’t move his body even slightly.

"Disappointed?"

Sage’s lips curled, "Old man, do you think I’m the type to depend on this power after obtaining it?"

He placed his hands on the gigantic mechanical arm, his veins bulged from effort, forcibly prying open the three-segment mechanical fingers that bound his body.

His force, unaffected by the seastone whatsoever.

"Can’t use abilities? I don’t rely on abilities for my livelihood!"

The mechanical fingers were pinched by Sage’s fingertips, under the force of Haki embedded inside, amidst a piercing screech the mechanical fingers were torn open.

"Moreover, I said you’re indulging, you are indulging! Your current Haki..."

With the fist pressing against his face, he leaned his head forward, bouncing off Zephyr’s Haki, kicking fiercely at his chest.

"Far from what it used to be!"

Pang!

With only one kick, Zephyr was sent flying backward, heavily crashing on the ground, coughing abruptly several times.

"Look at you, now just an old man with nothing, lost in pipe dreams, thinking by changing hairstyle and outfit you can be lofty as the sky?"

Sage kicked away the mechanical arm debris beneath his feet, saying, "Compared to last year, much worse!"

He believed the reason for Zephyr’s downfall is as simple as this, no need for analysis, or caring about what exactly happened to Zephyr.

Will can explain everything.

Weakened will leads to weakened Haki, regardless of appearance or intimidation, feeble Haki is feeble, weakened is weakened.

Appearance can deceive, momentum can intimidate, but for these ordinary humans, Haki is what cannot be faked.

This old man not only hasn’t gotten stronger but is terribly weak.

He realized this when he approached earlier.

Otherwise, with Zephyr’s Observation, he should have detected him earlier, instead of noticing only when he arrived.

Relaxation doesn’t mean this level of relaxation.

In the previous attack, had Sage wished, he could kick Zephyr to death.

Such responsiveness couldn’t block his assault!

Weak!

Utterly weak!

Sage now felt no interest at all!

More so, he felt an irritation.

The Zephyr he knew shouldn’t be like this!

This demeanor doesn’t warrant ending his life!

"I have never had any interest in weaklings, Zephyr."

Sage sighed slightly, "Looks like a dignified farewell for you is unlikely, so here’s what..."

He looked towards the group of Neo Navy preparing to battle, spreading his fingers and swung forward.

"Calamity Blade Wind!"

Whoosh!

The whirlwind forming like sharp blades scrapes trenches into the ground as it sliced through the Neo Navy in front, spilling abundant blood.

"You can’t die honorably on your own, so I’ll let you have honor. If dying in battle alone is unworthy, these people as your peasants will do."

Besides Thunder, Sage can also command the wind.

Rainwater comes with the storm naturally, cannot be controlled; wind and thunder he can pilot via Homiez.
