Pirates: The Scientist Who Became the Ultimate Lifeform.

Zhuo De staggered to his feet, revealing several scars on his body, which were caused by the tumble just now.

But apart from these minor injuries, he didn't have any more injuries on his body, which means he successfully avoided the explosion just now.

However, when he turned around and saw the bounty hunter behind him, his eyes were full of relief.

He saw that the bounty hunters behind him had been blown to pieces by the bomb just now, and the few surviving bounty hunters were seriously injured and kept rolling on the ground wailing.

Zhuo De had already thought about retreating at this time, and Duke also saw Zhuo De's idea.

A force emanated from Duke's body, and the battlefield between Zhuode and Duke was instantly covered by a layer of transparent air.

Seeing this, Zhuo De knew that he had to kill the tall man in front of him in order to have a hope of survival.

He swung the Snow Shadow in his hand again and slashed at Duke.

However, in Duke's eyes, the opponent's speed was not fast. With the blessing of Observation Haki, he could easily sense the opponent's movements.

Relying on his strong physical fitness, he can easily dodge the opponent's attacks.

But as Caesar said, he had underexploited the fruit of compression.

So he didn't plan to dodge, and just wanted to test out his newly developed skills.

The sharp snow shadow was about to hit Duke, but at this moment Zhuo De felt that his snow shadow seemed to hit something hard.

I saw a layer of black armor appear on Duke's body.

This layer of black armor was obtained by Duke using the compression fruit to condense the air, and it was attached with the armament domineering, which possessed a defensive power stronger than steel.

But this was not the end. Duke's palm quickly grabbed Duke's body.

In the palm of his hand, there was a powerful suction force that kept trying to suck Zhuo De's body over.

This is Duke creating a black hole-like effect by compressing nearby matter.

Duke's huge palm was like a black hole, constantly absorbing various substances nearby. Even the boulders on the ground were moving uncontrollably towards Duke's palm.

Seeing this, Zhuo De kicked Duke's armor hard and used the recoil force to quickly move away from Duke.

The houses built on both sides of the street were not so lucky.

The windows, rocks, and wood of the house began to fall apart and were sucked directly into Duke's palm.

Duke did not stop when he saw that he had not sucked Zhuo De into his palm, so he used another skill he had developed.

The soil on the ground was surging, and the nearby houses and trees were sucked into Duke's palm. A black ball compressed by various substances appeared in Duke's palm.

This black ball is one meter square and looks like a lead ball in Duke's hand, but this lead ball weighs hundreds of tons.

Although Duke's body was compressed, his strength was not reduced, so he could easily lift a shot put weighing hundreds of tons.

Duke grabbed the black ball in his hand and threw it towards Zhuo De.

Zhuo De's heart was filled with alarm bells at this moment. He knew that if he was hit by this black ball, he would probably turn into a meat patty in an instant.

But the black ball was too fast, and Zhuo De had no room to dodge under Duke's strong force.

Seeing this situation, Zhuo De could only stomp the ground hard, trying to use the recoil force to move his body a little further.

Using this little distance, Zhuo De successfully avoided the center of the black ball, but his left arm was still accidentally hit by the black ball.

The moment Zhuo De's arm collided with the black ball, a strong pulling force came from above the black ball. Yes, there was still a strong compression force on this black ball.

This compressing force was twisting Zhuo De's left arm into it.

The rotating black ball seemed to suck Zhuo De's entire body into the black hole.

Zhuo De knew he had to make a choice. He made up his mind, picked up the Snow Shadow with his right arm, and chopped it down on his left shoulder.

Blood splattered everywhere, and Zhuo De actually chopped off his left arm.

And his broken left arm was directly sucked into the black ball.

Immediately afterwards, the black ball hit the ground behind it, creating a large pit tens of meters deep.

And the moment the compression force disappeared, the black ball exploded.

The compressed substances expanded instantly and exploded directly at the bottom of the pit.

Duke nodded in satisfaction at the power of his moves.

This move uses the power of compression to compress a large amount of material as a cannonball. This cannonball not only has the power of compression, but can also return to its original state after the kinetic energy above disappears, causing a secondary explosion.

Duke called this move the black hole bomb.

At this time, Zhuo De was staggering, holding his injured left arm, leaning against a collapsed rock.

Feeling that his body's strength was almost exhausted, Zhuo De's heart was filled with despair.

"How is it possible? How could there be such a perverted newcomer in the world?"

Zhuo De was completely desperate at this time. As he looked at Duke who was like a devil in front of him, the fighting spirit in his heart had disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, Zhuo De suddenly recalled the memories of his first half of life.

As a famous swordsman in the South Sea, he defeated many powerful enemies in the first half of entering the Grand Line.

But in the second half of the Grand Line, he was defeated by a swordsman with one blow.

Ever since he was defeated by his opponent, he seemed to have lost his swordsmanship. His strength has not improved at all in the past ten years.

He could only be reduced to being the leader of bounty hunters at Whiskey Mountain at the front of the Grand Line, killing some small pirates.

He looked at his left arm with self-mockery. He had long given up on his dream of becoming a swordsman.

But the will to survive in his heart rekindled his desire to fight several times.

Looking at Duke in front of him, he staggered back to his feet.

He lifted the snow shadow clenched in his right arm in front of him. Looking at the cold light reflected on his snow shadow, Zhuo De suddenly had a flash of enlightenment in his heart.

Zhuo De recalled his decade of decadence with mixed feelings.

But when he gave up the desire to survive, the sword intent in his heart actually improved.

"Live towards death, and you will have opportunities."

Just when Duke was about to deal with Zhuo De in front of him, a powerful sword intent suddenly rose from Zhuo De's body.

Duke also became serious at this time. The sword intent emanating from the opponent was very strong, which was a power that only a swordsman possessed.

That’s right, at this time Duke has successfully broken through to the level of Swordsman!

Now the only thing in his heart is the pursuit of his own swordsmanship.

What he remembers most is not his decade-long life of debauchery, nor his days of being highly sought after in the East China Sea.

It was the time when he practiced sword with his master as a child. At that time, his dream of pursuing kendo was so pure.

His only remaining right arm was in a unique posture. He knew he could not live anymore, but it would be nice to be able to fulfill his childhood dream before he died.

Zhuo De had a smile on his face, and all the strength in his body was concentrated in this knife.

Duke was staring at Zhuo De at this time.

Sudden.

The opponent's knife moved, and Duke seemed to see a crescent moon flashing with white light, and a white knife energy was swung out from the opponent's snowy shadow.

Duke could feel that the power contained in this move was not comparable to Duke's previous sword moves.

Duke finally took it seriously, and a black Armament Haki appeared on his right arm.

The powerful compression force continuously absorbed various substances nearby into his fist.

Duke swung his fist fiercely and collided with the flying sword energy. The various substances compressed in Duke's fist were also suddenly released.

The combined power of the two instantly collided with the flying slash.

The entire street was destroyed by the aftermath of the collision.

After the aftermath died down, Duke raised his right fist, only to see a wound on it.

Although the wound was not deep, the opponent actually cut through the Armament Haki and successfully injured him.

Duke's observation Haki had already sensed that Zhuo De had lost his life force.

The smoke cleared and Duke came in front of Zhuo De.

I saw Liang's sharp knife Xueying stuck in the ground, Zhuo De's one arm was holding his own Xueying tightly to support his whole body so that he would not fall down.

There was a smile on Zhuo De's lips, as if he was not afraid of death. Instead, he was happy as if he was relieved.

Duke looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and his eyes showed appreciation for a good opponent.

Duke waved his hand and asked the crew members behind him to come over and give instructions.

"Find a place facing the sea for this man to be buried. He is a rival worthy of respect."

Afterwards, the Caesar Pirates conducted a comprehensive search of the entire Whiskey Peak.

A large amount of wealth and supplies were moved to the Demon. Looking at the Demon with a full harvest, Caesar nodded with satisfaction.

Duke was groping for the snow shadow in his hand, which was like a knife, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After harvesting the spoils, the Demon continued on to its next stop, a small garden where various ancient creatures lived, and where there were several things that Caesar wanted.

The Devil gradually moved away from Whiskey Mountain. On a hillside of Whiskey Mountain, a newly built tomb seemed to be watching the Devil go away.
