One Piece: The Magician

"Hey, monster, I really should thank you."

"If it weren't for you, I might still have to struggle with some things for a long time."

Lieutenant General Hisoka stared at the black flame demon in front of him, his eyes as sharp as a blade that had been hidden for many years, and the wooden sword in his hand pointed forward.

A faint dark purple aura wrapped around his body, exuding a sense of oppression like a Shura demon!

"In return, I decided to use my strongest sword move to kill you."

-shave!

Hisoka stepped hard, and the ground beneath his feet exploded instantly, and his figure disappeared from the place at the same time.

The strong wind generated by the high-speed movement caused his dazzling blond hair to blow up, and due to the speed of movement, it was like a golden lightning flashing through the rain.

The armed domineering energy condensed on the wooden sword in his hand, as if it was painted with a layer of black paint. Then Hisoka's eyes flashed sharply, and he slashed forward with force.

-One sword Shura!

In an instant, it was as if the raindrops in the sky were cut off by an invisible sword energy. The black flame demon had no time to defend itself this time, and the terrifying slash had already hit its body!

Black flames flew everywhere, and an arm made of black flames was chopped off!

But the next second, the broken arm turned into a black flame and flew back to the body, and then a new arm grew out again.

In a sense, the body of this black flame demon is more difficult to deal with than the elemental form of a natural ability user, and even armed Haki cannot cause any substantial harm to it.

"Humph, it has indeed recovered again."

Lieutenant General Hisoka was not surprised at all by this result. After using his sword to deflect a heavy blow from the Seven Star Sword, the fighting spirit in his eyes only increased.

"But what if I cut faster than you can recover?"

"Let's fight quickly!"

After saying that, the golden Shura rushed forward again, and his aura increased again, as if Shura had come to the world.

After not being afraid of the erosion of the hellfire, Hisoka can naturally use all his firepower without any scruples. His sharp sword moves attack the enemy like a violent storm. The wind pressure brought by it will wipe out the surrounding air and rain. Crush.

For a time, the battle between the two was actually more earth-shattering than the battlefield next to it with tens of thousands of people.

The dark red light on the three eyes of the black flame demon was hesitant. Even though it could continuously absorb negative energy from the battlefield next to it, it was still suppressed by Lieutenant General Hisoka.

"Bravo!"

The stupid captain pressed the straw hat on his head, looked at a dead fish-eye general showing off his power in the distance, and said with a look of amazement:

"How did he do it? I couldn't see his movements clearly."

"Hey, Luffy, now is not the time for you to lament other people's strength."

Raising his leg to kick away a pirate burning with black fire, Sanji raised his eyebrows and said with a serious face:

"Although I don't know why he is not afraid of black flames, even if he can defeat the Seven Star Sword, it is not a good thing for us."

"He is a marine after all."

The curly eyebrow cook flew up again and kicked a black flame puppet away. The latter was knocked away like a bowling ball, but then more enemies with black flames burning on their bodies came over.

When the timid trio saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel despair in their hearts.

As time passes and more and more people are consumed by the fire of hell, the pressure on the Straw Hats increases.

After being strengthened by the amplification of the black flame, the black flame puppet is extremely resistant to beatings. It is not a cannon fodder that can be defeated with three punches and two kicks.

Even though Luffy and Sanji's combat prowess is among the best, in such a large-scale battle at the legion level, the efficiency of solving the enemy is still low.

(Well, if only Sherlock were here.)

Everyone couldn't help but think of the magician. If the map cannon with glasses was here, these enemies would be easy to deal with.

At this moment, familiar and dense gunshots suddenly rang out in the sky.

-Unlimited gun control!

The sky full of rain intertwined with the hail of bullets, and with just one salvo, dozens of black flame puppets were shot into a sieve, clearing out an open space.

Even though they have strong resistance to attack, they still appear to be so vulnerable under this heinous saturation attack.

A magic carpet descended from mid-air, and three familiar figures jumped down.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Sherlock looked at his companions whom he had not seen for a long time, smiled and pushed up his glasses.

"Hey, Charlotte!"

"Sherlock! You're finally here!"

"Robin-chan, are you injured? And you bastard green algae head, where did you die before??"

"Zoron, what's the matter with your injuries? Doctor, where is the doctor?"

"Hey, Chopper, aren't you the doctor..."

The assembled Straw Hat crew were very excited when they gathered together. They briefly talked about their respective experiences after opening, and then Robin briefly told what she and a certain glasses found in the prince's tomb.

Soon, except for a certain idiot captain, everyone else had a rough understanding of the current situation.

The little reindeer was carefully bandaging the wounds of a certain green algae head, while the latter was looking at the battle of Lieutenant General Hisoka in the distance with a very serious expression.

As a swordsman, Zoro couldn't help but sigh in his heart, that marine's swordsmanship was really strong.

Especially his ghost-like aura, even though he was so far away, he was still full of oppression.

(Just like Shura...)

Sauron suddenly had a realization in his heart, as if a door to a new world appeared in front of him, and slowly opened a crack.

"That's it. No wonder Miss Maya suddenly became like this..."

Sanji sighed, pointed at the black flame demon who was fighting fiercely with Hisoka in the distance, and said:

"That flame monster is Azathoth mentioned in the story, and its seven-star sword is actually in the bag space inside Maya's body?"

"That's right." Sherlock nodded.

"So if we want to obtain the Seven Star Sword, we must first defeat Azathoth."

The Seven-Star Sword, as the eternal nine-fold mirror image fusion, is naturally inextricably related to him, the current mirror fruit ability user.

But after all, it was not created by the magician himself, so I am afraid that only after recovering the mirror space can Sherlock freely control it.

Even after nearly a thousand years, a certain glasses can still feel a strong call from the black flame demon.

It was like a ferocious criminal was clinging to the cage, roaring and stretching out his hands at the people who came to visit him outside, making Sherlock feel a little numb.

Even if the Seven Star Sword can be returned to its place, given the terrible side effects of the black flames of hell, a certain glasses does not think it will be a useful weapon...

(What on earth was that person thinking back then to come up with such a terrifying murder weapon?)

Sherlock complained silently in his mind and continued:

"The fire of hell burns the soul, and the carrier is people's negative emotions. Although the navy can overcome the darkness deep in his heart, it is only temporary."

Just like the last prince thousands of years ago, he did persist for a long time under the influence of the Seven Star Sword, but was eventually defeated by the "arrogance" in his heart.

"This kind of flame is indeed extremely powerful, but it should also have a nemesis..."

Sherlock pushed up his glasses slightly, turned to look at the orange-haired navigator, smiled slightly and said:

"If it's true to the legend, Nami, we'll see how you perform later."

Hearing this, the others all turned their attention to their navigator.

"Huh? Me?"

Nami pointed at herself, looking confused.

A dazzling lightning flashed across the sky, rolling thunder came, and the storm became more violent.
