Chapter 431 Zhang·Skill Thief with Many Skills·Tatsuya
"Hey young man, can you please make way? I have something else to do."
"What a coincidence. I have something to do, nothing else but to catch some pirates." Zhang Da also said, "What's even more coincidental is that you are a pirate, right?"
"That's true..." Foz F pressed the hilt of the knife at his waist with one hand.
He felt both upset and relieved. He felt upset because what he feared came true. He had just said that he didn't want to provoke the people from the Amber Travel Group, but he met them so soon.
Fortunately, he encountered not all the members, but only one person and a cat. Moreover, according to the intelligence, although this person is nominally the leader of the Amber Travel Group, his strength does not seem to be very strong. Then things are simple, just kill him...
No, the coating would take some time. Killing him outright might invite a frenzied retaliation. After all, Foz F was a former CP9 agent, not some mindless pirate. He quickly came up with a plan: just hold this man back, get his men to scatter, and then he could get rid of him.
In fact, the best way would be to subdue Zhang Daye in an instant, but Foz F's observation Haki told him that this person should not be dealt with so easily.
He made a gesture to Catwoman, and because they had communicated with each other in advance, Catwoman and her other four men dispersed immediately without any hesitation.
While Foz F was thinking about his strategy, Zhang Da was not idle either. He felt both excited and regretful after recognizing Foz F.
He was excited because he had encountered such a powerful person and could test his fighting ability without restraint. He also regretted that he should not have proposed splitting up the operation to improve the efficiency of cleaning up the criminals . Now that he had encountered a strong enemy and didn't know where Altria and Shark Chili were, Zhang Da was also a little panicked.
The good news is that Foz-Fo is not the same Foz-Fo that was beaten up by Jinbei ten years later. His strength should be much worse than it was then. The better news is that Tom is always there, so he should not be beaten to death.
So Zhang Da also handed the Den Den Mushi to Tom, and told him to go to the side and make a phone call to get help when necessary. No matter whether he could win or not, he had to be steady first.
Fuzzy F held the more than two-meter-long knife horizontally in front of him, and with a slight movement of his hands... he pulled out a twenty-centimeter-long dagger.
If an ordinary person saw this dagger being pulled out from a two-meter-long scabbard, he would probably be stunned for a moment.
Zhang Da also cursed silently, threw away the folding stool and frying pan in his hands, and took out a Tianlun sword.
"It is indeed the ability similar to the Bag-Bag Fruit mentioned in the intelligence." Fuzzy F took the intelligence very seriously. "However, using it like this will not be of much help in combat... Blade Spear!"
Foz F threw away the scabbard and stabbed out with the dagger in his right hand repeatedly. More than a dozen arrow-shaped air blades flew out. This was a move similar to the flying finger gun, which was Foz F's personal extension and development of the six styles.
"Chopping wave!" Zhang Da also swung his sword almost at the same time as him. A golden slash more than three meters long flew out, offsetting most of the sharp arrow-shaped shock wave and flew towards Foz F.
This is a move modified from the Golden Lion. Altria used all her might, but Zhang Daye's swordsmanship level was still a little bit short of that.
The slash landed on a huge red tree about ten meters behind Foz F, leaving a deep mark. Foz F had already jumped into the air, tapped his toes a few times to adjust his position, and then swung his right leg diagonally downward: "Moon Step! Mist Kick!"
A white crescent-shaped slash flew towards the back of Zhang Daye's head. Zhang Daye's ankles were wrapped in a gust of wind, and he turned over and kicked: "Tianlong's hook claw!"
Foz F's slash was split into two parts, and fell to the ground behind Zhang Daye with two loud bangs.
"Flying bird!" While Zhang Da was hanging upside down, he swung out a bird-shaped slash from bottom to top. This was a sword move modified from T. Peng En. It would also change direction in the air, but it was not a right-angle turn. It was much smoother than T. Peng En's move.
Since Golden Lion and T. Peng both use double-edged swords, their moves are well compatible with Zhang Daye after being modified by Altria.
Foz F wanted to use the Moon Step to dodge, but the slash drew a strange arc with a crisp bird cry and pierced Foz F's shoulder blade.
"What? A lump of iron!"
In a situation where it was difficult to dodge, Foz F decisively chose to fight hard. Although he said he was an iron block, he actually urgently mobilized his armed color.
Bang! Bang! The first sound was when Foz-Fo was hit, and the second sound was when Foz-Fo fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"You... don't seem to be as weak as the rumors say..." Foz F's angry voice came from the smoke and dust.
"The roar of the Tianlong!" Zhang Da also took a deep breath. A magic circle appeared in front of him, and a whirlwind blew out. The scale was stronger than before, but the power was still insufficient.
"It still doesn't work. If he has to beat me up before I can make a breakthrough in battle, forget it. Go back and practice more." Zhang Da was also a little disappointed. If it was a friend, he could still try, but it would be better to knock down the enemy quickly.
The only effect of this whirlwind was to blow away the dense smoke and dust, revealing Foz F crawling inside.
His originally tall and thin figure swelled up, becoming even taller and stronger, with a thick tail swinging behind him. A pair of long canine teeth extended beyond his chin, like two daggers inserted upside down in his mouth - Animal System · Cat-Cat Fruit · Ancient Species · Sabre-toothed Tiger Form!
"This saber-toothed tiger is a bit fat." Zhang Da also commented. In his impression, a saber-toothed tiger's body should be as slender and muscular as a cheetah, but if you don't look at Foz F's long fangs, you would think he is an enlarged version of an orange cat.
Seeing the small wound on Foz F's left shoulder, Zhang Da was slightly relieved. Since he could break his defense, he could fight.
"Roar~" Foz F roared and pounced forward. His fat body not only did not affect his swift speed, but also greatly enhanced the power of the pounce.
Clang! Zhang Daye held his sword horizontally to block the sharp teeth, but was slapped away by a huge beast claw and smashed into an abandoned house.
" Flying Bird !" Zhang Da also swung a slash, then walked out of the hole while rubbing his chest, "Ahem, it hurts a little."
"Who will be hit by this kind of move again!" Foz F nimbly jumped left and right a few steps to avoid the slash. The sharp claws popped out from the tiger claws, and he grabbed Zhang Daye's body alternately left and right. The pair of front paws waved so swiftly that afterimages were almost left.
Zhang Da also blocked repeatedly with his sword, but the huge size and strength of Foz Fu's beast form made it difficult for him to deal with it.
He also discovered that Foz F had a bad habit of trash-talking during fights. To put it nicely, he probably liked to use psychological tactics:
"You little brat, you've only managed to gain some fame thanks to your companions' strength. But when your companions aren't around, you're immediately helpless?"
"I heard you're ranked last in the team, right? If it were a pirate group, there might be a rare case where a crew member has a higher bounty than the captain!"
"How did you become the leader of those people when you are so weak? Are you just a puppet?"
"So annoying..." Zhang Da wasn't too upset by this. He was mostly telling the truth, and he was pretty much used to it. Back then, he was the weakest guy in the tavern, so it wasn't a big deal. It was just that this guy's constant nagging beside him was a little annoying.
Bang! Foz F suddenly increased his strength, and Zhang Da made a slight misjudgment and flew backwards to the ground, but he immediately got up with an Oolong twist and took this opportunity to create some distance.
I learned the Wulong Zhuanzhu technique from Uncle Long. How to quickly get up after falling down to avoid attacks or look for opportunities to counterattack is also an important lesson.
"That move is most suitable for enemies with large bodies and strong strength." Zhang Da also quickly adjusted his posture, holding the sword with both hands, and the dark energy in his body surged out, "Dark Energy Version: Hegemony!"
Foz F, who was rushing towards him, bumped into a white light. His entire tiger face was deformed and flew back at a speed even faster than when he came.
"It hurts... Damn little devil, I clearly used the Armament Haki..." Foz F turned over and got up, covering his big round head with his claws, and a thin line of blood flowed down his cheek.
He now has some doubts about the information he has obtained. If the kid in front of him is ranked last in strength, then how strong are the others?
"We can't keep fighting with him, tooth gun!" Foz F opened his mouth and shot out a dozen tooth-shaped shock waves. Then he turned around and ran away without caring whether they worked or not.
It’s not that he was afraid of Zhang Daye, but his goal had been achieved. After delaying for so long, his men should have reached a safe place. If he delayed any further, he might be surrounded by the Amber Travel Group.
So next, he needed to quickly shake off Zhang Daye, wait patiently for the coating to complete, and then quietly set out to sea. We met by chance. Even if you are world-renowned bounty hunters, you wouldn't chase after a fledgling, little-known pirate group like mine, right?
Foz F did not return to human form, but maintained his beast form and ran all the way. Although his body shape was like a fat orange, his agility was like a cheetah.
Zhang Da who was following behind also encountered a little trouble. Foz F's tooth gun was not so easy to block. Although it looked like a saber-toothed tiger spit out a dozen sets of dentures at him, there was nothing to be afraid of.
But this is a derivative of the Six-Style Finger Gun, making full use of the sharp teeth of the saber-toothed tiger, and its power can break Jinbei's armed color. The current Foz Fu is not as strong as he will be eleven years later, but Zhang Da is also not as strong as Jinbei at that time.
After using his sword to chop off several tooth spears, Zhang Daye had two deep bloody holes on his right shoulder and left arm, and blood was flowing out.
"Hiss~" This was the first time he was seriously injured by the enemy since his debut. Zhang Da quickly took out the [Tom's Medical Kit] from the inventory and bandaged himself several times.
Tom ran over anxiously holding the Den Den Mushi.
"It's not a big deal!" Zhang Da patted his shoulder. The bandage was really good at stopping bleeding. "Let's go, let's chase them!"
Want to run away after beating someone? That's not going to happen. Zhang Da also put Tom on his shoulders.
Altria's voice came from the Den Den Mushi: "Tatsuya, I'm on my way over here, how are you doing?"
Zhang Da said as he ran: "I'm fine, the enemy fled in the direction of GR No. 27, I'm chasing him."
"GR No. 27? I see." Altria changed the direction of travel, "I'll be there soon, you better be careful."
Zhang Da also smiled and said, "Don't worry, I think I can win. If not, there's still Tom."
Tom, holding the Den Den Mushi, shook his head like a rattle. No way, no way, how could an ordinary little cat like me beat such a big fat cat?
"Don't be afraid, you can sneak attack him or dig a trap. Believe in yourself." Zhang Da also sped up. Tom has never been aware of his own strength, but it will naturally play a role at the critical moment.
After chasing for more than five minutes, Zhang Da could only see a big tail swinging back and forth. The distance between the two could no longer be narrowed, and they were about to reach GR No. 27.
"This guy can really run, I'll add a buff first." Zhang Da also raised his hand, and a magic circle appeared under his feet, coating him with a layer of light blue light, "The swift wind running in the sky, Burner!"
Zhang Daye's body immediately became much lighter, his speed increased dramatically, and the distance between him and Foz F quickly narrowed. "Have you heard of the madly running Daye?"
"What's going on?" Fuzzy F turned his head with great effort to take a look. "What is that light ?"
Fuzzy F began to doubt his own intelligence again. Wasn't it similar to the ability of the Bag-Bag Fruit? What was this acceleration?
He noticed Tom on Zhang Da's shoulder. Could it be the cat's ability? No wonder he brought it along!
Foz F gritted his teeth and wanted to go faster.
However, Zhang Da saw that the distance was about the same, so he put away the Heavenly Wheel Sword and took out the Soul-Suppressing Gong and Soul-Suppressing Hammer: "Still running?"
Bang~~
"What? Body..." After hearing the gong, Foz F suddenly found that his body was out of control. He remained frozen in the running posture. Inertia seemed to have let him go and he didn't pay any attention to this place at all.
"Are you stupid? I have so many skills!" Zhang Da also took the opportunity to pounce and smashed Foz F's back of the head with his soul-soothing hammer.
Unfortunately, Foz F was not immobilized for long. He had already recovered his movement when the soul-calming hammer fell. Finally, Zhang Da also hit him on the back with a hammer.
Since Foz F also had a "targeted alert" to Zhang Da, the night watchman's timed hammer was ineffective, so Zhang Da attacked with the mentality of knocking him out with a flying brick, and the power of this hammer was not light.
"Wow~" Foz F fell forward, but did not give up fighting back. He exerted force from his waist and swept his thick tail towards Zhang Da.
Zhang Da also used the Soul-Calming Gong as a shield to block the attack, but was still repelled by him.
"Bastard!" The huge saber-toothed tiger stood up and its body began to shrink. Although it became much smaller, the muscles on its body looked stronger and more powerful.
I can't hold back any longer, or I'll be stuck here! Since this guy insists on getting in the way, I'll knock him down first!
