"Title Page Serial·East China Sea Chapter 3·"Unpalatable Oranges""
"Water...I want water...Bellemere was woken up by thirst in the middle of the night. He groped around in the bedroom but found nothing. He simply used oranges instead. He peeled them off in a daze and threw them into his mouth. He felt nauseated after just a few bites.
"I almost vomited it out"
"Why is it so unpalatable?! Is it spoiled? The sleepy-eyed girl threw the bad orange into the trash can in disgust and went to get other oranges. She didn't even notice the garbage that had been touched by her fingertips.
The barrel, and even the ground below, are rapidly corroding and rusting..."
————-----
boom!
The sword light was bright, illuminating half of the street. Under such a close attack, even though his body was as strong as Du Galileo's, a huge scar appeared on his chest, and a large amount of blood spattered out.
"Kid!"
Painful due to his carelessness, he suddenly fell into a rage, slammed his backhand at Nuo Xia in mid-air, and roared, "You want me to pay the price? If you only have this ability, it's far from enough!"
Whoosh!
Before the giant hammer fell, Nuo Xia was already aware of it. With a flash of his body, he easily dodged it and came to the back of Du Galileo.
The next second.
Taking advantage of the gap before Du Galileo had time to retract the giant hammer, he struck the opponent's neck with one sword from top to bottom, and the other sword stabbed into the back directly opposite the heart.
This time, Du Galileo noticed something.
clang!
The dark armed domineering force instantly wrapped around the vital points of his neck, blocking the slashed wind sword from the outer layer of his skin.
But the sword of Azakana that pierced his back suddenly changed its direction and turned into a horizontal slash. The long and narrow dark red sword blade scratched the side of his shoulder, and blood spattered again in an instant.
After a successful attack, Nuo Xia had no intention of stopping.
He turned around, switched directions and angles again, bullied himself into Du Galileo's right side, and slashed at the latter's waist and ribs with both swords at the same time.
But this time.
Before he could bring down his sword, his vision blurred, and a thick and colorful wall suddenly appeared in front of him.
Bang!
Being hit by this huge wall suddenly, Nuo Xia suddenly felt a terrifying force like a mountain torrent sweeping over him.
The whole person was blown away like a kite with its string cut off.
Wow!
After flying twenty or thirty meters, the remaining strength was finally released, and Nuo Xia's back hit hard on a pile of wine barrels at the corner of the street.
The wine spurted out and sawdust flew everywhere. He suddenly twisted his waist and stood up like a carp. In an instant, he landed on his feet again and stood firm.
He condensed his eyes and glanced in the direction where he was just now.
The ground there had completely collapsed, and Du Galileo's burly figure no longer existed.
Instead, there was a giant saber-toothed tiger that was six or seven stories tall and covered in yellow and black patterns.
And the giant wall he hit just now was the muscular front legs of the ancient saber-toothed tiger!
"Tsk, it really deserves to be called the Three Disasters..."
Nuo Xia narrowed her eyes slightly, licked the corners of her dry lips, and murmured to herself in a low voice, "The transformation also looks like Kaido's. It's really too big."
The last time he fought against such a huge enemy was probably nearly a year ago during the recruit assessment period, when he had a fierce battle with the giant bear Sano.
But compared to Du Galileo, who had transformed into the form of a saber-toothed tiger in front of him, even the giant black bear that had left a deep impression on him pale into insignificance.
Both the size and the feeling of pressure are far from the former, and they are not of the same magnitude at all.
but……
Du Galileo activated his Devil Fruit ability so quickly and transformed into a giant beast form.
It seems that the current drought is really angry, and he has finally begun to face up to his strength, and he also knows that he cannot be defeated by his human body alone...
Boom!
At this moment, the saber-toothed tiger moved violently. It roared ferociously, ran on all fours, and rushed forward in an instant. Its front legs, which were as tall as pillars, suddenly lifted up and stepped on Nuo Xia, who was shrouded in shadow below!
The huge difference in body size makes this scene, from a distance, look like a human accidentally stretching out his foot to crush an ant.
But Nuo Xia is naturally not an ant.
The speed of the saber-toothed tiger was quite terrifying, but his movements were one step faster. In the midst of the lightning and flint, he had already accumulated all his strength, drew his sword and slashed towards the terrifying giant claw that shone with cold light, and struck it head-on!
boom!
The whistling sword light collided with the powerful flesh, and the deafening explosion resounded throughout the street in an instant.
After a few seconds of stalemate, Nuo Xia's body was shaken and suddenly retreated, and his feet plowed two deep ravines more than ten meters long on the ground.
On the other hand, the saber-toothed tiger only had a few shallow sword marks on its claws, not even a decent wound.
Boom!
The saber-toothed tiger, which was as huge as a city wall, lowered its legs to the ground, lowered its head and looked down at Nuo Xia, who was like a small black dot below. The dark yellow pupils shone with a ferocious light that wanted to devour others.
"How about it, kid..."
The saber-toothed tiger stared at Nuo Xia with a cold look on his face as he murmured, "Now do you still think that you have the ability to avenge the female navy named Gion?"
After the transformation, the physical strength and defense have been greatly improved.
Nuo Xia raised her head and her eyes flashed slightly.
However, this is interesting.
"No ability? Big guy, you are saying something like this now..."
Looking into the eyes of the aloof Senhan, Nuo Xia not only showed no sign of fear and retreat on his face, but instead grinned, his fighting spirit became even higher, and he tightly grasped Yongen's swords!
Buzz!
The sound of breaking wind sounded, and he suddenly turned into an afterimage, charging towards the giant saber-toothed tiger like a mayfly shaking a tree!
"——Isn't it too early!"
Rumble!
As the battle between the two gradually intensified.
The buildings around the square continued to collapse and collapse, smoke and dust spread, and were affected by the aftermath of the battle, while the cracked ground area became wider and wider.
The huge commotion spread almost throughout Rhode Island, causing many sailors from other areas to rush over after hearing the news.
"Oh My God……"
"Then, what kind of monster is that?"
Across the street, looking at the terrifying giant tiger that could almost cover the moonlight from a distance, these sailors belonging to the first branch of the West Sea suddenly felt trembling in their hearts and showed fear in their eyes.
"The one fighting this monster is Major General Noxia?"
"How could it be...even the Major General seems to be at a disadvantage..."
"How could there be such a thing on Rhodes Island!"
Whispers resounded among the crowd. Many of them had never set foot outside the Western Sea in their lives and did not have much experience. They did not recognize Du Galileo and did not know anything about the three plagues of beasts.
But they knew very well how powerful their Major General Nuo Xia was.
That is enough strength to single-handedly sweep through all the pirate groups in the West Sea without finding any opponents!
But now.
There was nothing that could be done against the giant tiger, and it was even suppressed in turn, as if it was completely unable to open up the situation...
Big trouble.
Several school-level officers who went out with the warship looked at each other solemnly and reached a consensus in an instant——
In a battle of this level, they can't intervene and can't help at all.
You must report to the branch or even the headquarters immediately and apply for support!
———
Xihai First Branch Base.
The lights were still on in the top-floor office of the fortress building. Taotu was wearing a coat and frowning, processing a batch of newly submitted documents.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the corridor, and then a figure rushed in without even knocking on the door.
