One Piece: The Legend of Beasts

Chapter 19 The Secret of Time

Uno successfully arrived at the royal capital after passing through the crisscrossing streets and defeating all the soldiers who came to stop him.

Once known as the "City of Gold", Orram is now in ruins. Countless buildings have inevitably collapsed, and rubble of varying sizes is piled up on the ground. The raging flames and billowing black smoke are everywhere, making the whole scene look chaotic.

"It's really horrible..."

Uno stopped on the dilapidated street and looked at the surrounding scene, with a look of pity on his face. "What's strange is that I didn't see anything like a corpse. Could it be that the civilians on the street were evacuated in advance?"

There was no time for him to think about this. He stepped over the uneven ruins and continued to rush forward.

As he was running, Uno suddenly saw something, stopped, and smiled bitterly: "Oh, it's not that easy to get through."

Not far in front of him, there were rows of fully armed soldiers standing ready for battle. When they saw someone coming, they subconsciously tightened their spears in their hands, ready to attack at any time.

"Don't panic, he's the only one there!"

"Without the aunt and the horned guy, they wouldn't be afraid at all!"

"Little brat, what can you do against our personal guards of the king? Surrender now! With your pretty face, you might become his majesty's new male favorite, haha!"

The soldiers were talking to each other, causing laughter from time to time. Uno's face did not waver at all. He slowly took off his worn gloves and showed an intriguing smile: "It turns out that I am underestimated so much, but there is no need to maintain a gentle persona here, just be a little cruel."

The soldiers shouted and rushed forward, stabbing at the young man who was alone with their spears.

On the other side of the battlefield, the fighting was also in full swing.

The figures of Kaido and Tempaz quickly intertwined, the mace and the double needles kept colliding with each other, the continuous sound of metal friction was endless, leaving one after another afterimage on the street.

The long needle of Tempaz came towards Kaido, who ducked to avoid the blow and swung his mace to sweep across his lower body. Tempaz remained calm, leaping into the air, passing through the clouds, crossing the two needles together, and swung them away, releasing a cross-shaped shock wave, carrying blue lightning, and rushing down from the sky towards the young man on the ground.

Facing this surging blow, Kaido did not dare to take it head-on. He pushed his right foot hard on the ground, and flew out like an arrow, passing by the shock wave. With a loud bang, a long cross-shaped gully was instantly cut into the street, which was bottomless.

Tempaz was not surprised to see his move was avoided, he dived straight down, with his hands holding weapons pointing straight forward, and his body gradually began to spin, spinning faster and faster, like a miniature tornado, sweeping towards Kaido, using his sharp cutting force to cut him into pieces.

In a flash, Kaido raised his mace high up, and his whole body spun at high speed, turning into a dark storm heading upwards.

The black and white storms collided, emitting a large number of sparks and forming huge air waves that spread around, as if the air was also beginning to twist. After a period of stalemate, the two storms bounced back and stopped rotating.

Taking advantage of the enemy's inferiority, Tempaz kicked Kaido's head in the air at lightning speed. Kaido had expected this move, so he tilted his head to the side to avoid his kick, and grabbed Kaido's right leg with his left arm, ready to throw him out. Unexpectedly, Tempaz's left leg swept over and hit Kaido in the face, almost deforming his burly face.

Kaido felt a sharp dizziness, and his hand involuntarily loosened his right leg. Taking advantage of this gap, Tempaz kicked out with both legs, hitting Kaido's chest like a storm, flipped backwards, and kicked him in the abdomen with a roundhouse kick. Kaido's whole body flew backwards at a very fast speed, crashed through a building, and fell into the ruins, raising a cloud of dust.

"That guy is really cruel..."

Kaido crawled out from the rubble, shook his head, and had several bruises on his body. He felt a burning pain all over his body.

Of course, he didn't have any extra time to sigh, because he saw Tempaz's body rushing towards him like a straight arrow.

Kaido quickly rolled to the side, causing the long needle in Tempaz's hand to poke into the ruins behind him, and the rubble instantly turned into a pile of debris. The boy took advantage of the situation and picked up the mace beside him, smashing it from bottom to top at Tempaz's waist. Tempaz swung the short needle in his left hand in an arc, blocking the dark and domineering mace, and suddenly turned around, sweeping the long needle in his right hand towards Kaido's wrist like a wind and lightning.

At the critical moment, Kaido put more domineering energy into the mace, and suddenly raised the short needle a few centimeters. With a "clang" sound, the long needle shifted its position and hit Kaido's bracelet. Taking advantage of the moment when Tempaz was in shock, Kaido's iron rod changed from swinging to sweeping, wrapped with purple lightning, and hit the opponent's waist firmly. Tempaz's body seemed to be twisted, and flew away, hitting a wall, and the wall collapsed, burying him in it.

Kaido patted his body and stood up, watching the iron ring turn into pieces and fall to the ground, with a lingering fear in his heart. If it weren't for his strong domineering power, one of his arms would probably have been broken.

"It's more capable than we thought."

Tempaz slowly crawled out of the ruins. His clean robe was a little torn. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his panda eyes revealed a light of approval. "That blow just now almost broke my ribs. Even though I haven't used my full strength yet, you are probably the first person who can force me to this extent."

"Your words are still as irritating as ever..." Kaido couldn't help but complain.

"I have to get serious now. I hope I won't waste your extra time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tempaz suddenly disappeared from the spot. For a moment, it seemed that Tempaz's shadow was everywhere, surrounding Kaido in the center, making him dazzled and completely unable to figure out the opponent's speed.

Kaido pinched himself and regained his composure through the pain. He closed his eyes and felt countless white lines crisscrossing the dark space. Kaido tensed his nerves and concentrated his mind to capture the enemy's breath.

Suddenly, a white line broke into two pieces.

Kaido suddenly opened his eyes, turned around and swung a stick at a rapid speed. Unexpectedly, Tempaz accelerated again when he was about to be hit by the iron stick, and jumped behind Kaido at lightning speed. The two needles shot out two magnificent blue rays of light like a rabbit. Kaido could not dodge in time and was enveloped by the strong light in an instant.

"That boy!"

Following a series of explosions, Lingling hurriedly turned around and saw smoke filling the area not far away, extending almost to the end of the street. She couldn't help but worry about Kaido's safety.

"It's not good to be distracted during a battle, Auntie!"

There was a whistling sound of wind behind him, and Herjog swung out a meteor hammer and hit Lingling on the back. She dodged to the right and grabbed the chain connected to the two hammers with her left hand. Herjog felt a huge force coming at him, and his body was involuntarily pulled into the air. Before he could struggle, Lingling swung the chain around several times and threw him out suddenly, crashing into a building. The building collapsed, pressing him to the ground and raising a large amount of smoke and dust.

"Needle hell!"

As Herjog, who was buried under the rubble, roared, countless thick needles emerged from the ground and continued to spread towards Lingling.

Seeing that the needles were multiplying too quickly, Lingling did not choose to destroy them directly. Instead, she summoned Zeus with her right hand to step on him, and rushed forward at a speed far superior to that of a horse. She weaved in and out of the dense group of spikes, avoiding all the incoming spikes, and placed the long sword on her right shoulder. The dark domineering aura condensed on the surface of the blade.

"The Spear of Erubaf? Weiguo!"

As she swung her sword with force, a huge sword energy shock wave shot out, piercing through the spikes that blocked her vision, opening up a passage, and falling directly to the ground, causing a violent explosion, and countless rubble and stones were blown away.

"Tsk, I missed..."

A large pit with a radius of 100 meters was blasted out on the ground in front of her, but Lingling did not sense the enemy's presence in it through her observation Haki. Just as she was complaining, a huge ball covered with iron spikes suddenly flashed out from behind a spike and flew behind her with a whistling sound. Lingling focused her attention on the area around the pit and did not notice that someone was attacking nearby. She was caught off guard and was hit hard on the back by the spike ball. She fell off Zeus, and the momentum of the spike ball was still unabated, carrying her down and hitting the ground with a loud "bang", and countless stone chips flew around.

"mom!"

Seeing Lingling being knocked into the ground, Zeus flew down hurriedly, and only stopped and breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed that the ruins were shaking slightly.

"..."

Lingling pushed away the rubble that was pressing on her, propped herself up and shook her head, her eyes fixed on the front. She smiled instead of getting angry, "Well, well, well! I thought you were just a soldier, but it turns out you're much more capable than I thought!"

The huge thorn ball stretched out its neck and limbs and turned into Herjog's burly body. He looked at the dozen or so broken spikes on his armor and frowned.

—Ordinary people who were hit by my “flying ball collision” would either suffer comminuted fractures or be crushed into a meat patty, but she didn’t even have a scratch, let alone vomiting blood... As expected, the rumored steel balloon is indeed real!

—In this case, I can only try my best to hold her back, even though it’s very unpleasant!

Herjog raised his head, quickly wielded the meteor hammer with his left hand, and placed his right hand in front of his chest with five fingers spread out, shouting fiercely: "I will soon let you know what will happen if you underestimate me!"

"Mmmm! You're so brave! "

Lingling combed her messy long hair and smiled sexy. "You seemed to call me auntie just now? That's so rude. I need to teach you how to speak."

"I think we may have gone a little too far."

Tempaz stood there and sighed as two long gullies appeared in front of him, with no end in sight.

As the thick smoke gradually dissipated, an expression of surprise slowly appeared on his almost paralyzed face, as if he had seen something extraordinary.

Kaido crossed his hands in front of his chest, his feet firmly nailed to the ravine, his whole body covered with a layer of black and purple domineering aura, wisps of white smoke rose from his body, making a "hissing" sound.

"I didn't expect that I would be able to handle it..."

He struggled to squeeze out a word, feeling as if his internal organs were turning upside down and his muscles were burning with pain. If he had not spread the armed color gathered in his body to the whole body in time, he would have had no idea how bad the blow would have been if it had hit him directly.

"Well, it seems that you have been training your Haki well. Even if an ordinary person uses Armament Haki to defend in this situation, they will just be reduced to ashes."

Tempaz hesitated for a moment and asked, "But with your current body, it will be difficult for you to continue fighting with us, right?"

"Oh hehe! I can more than just fight with you!"

Kaido stretched his numb body and laughed boldly, "And I've found the flaw in your ability!"

"Oh?"

Tempaz put his hand to his ear to make sure he heard it correctly. "I have lived for so long and have never heard such funny words."

"Whatever you say, it's time to verify it later!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kaido suddenly jumped up, like a stream of black light, and rushed towards Tampaz regardless of anything.

Tempaz was also surprised to see Kaido's sudden rash move. When Kaido approached him, he gently dodged to the side and stabbed forward with the long needle in his right hand.

The long needle pierced Kaido's head smoothly, but there was no real feeling of hitting. Just as Tempaz was surprised, he heard a sharp wind behind him. He turned around and saw Kaido had circled around him and raised his mace high in his right hand.

The figure of Kaido on the ground gradually became transparent and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"It's just an afterimage... But it still can't faze us!"

Tempaz whistled, and the short needle in his left hand drew a trajectory in the air and stabbed upwards. Suddenly, a dark object appeared in his sight and fell squarely on the short needle.

"Varied......?"

Tempaz was so shocked that his words were stammered, and a drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead.

"That's true."

Kaido watched the coat he threw out turn into animal skin at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his mind suddenly became clear, "No wonder you couldn't dodge my previous blow, no wonder you chose to release your domineering aura when you could have used the long needle to make me old...

"Your weakness is that you can't use your abilities in two places at the same time!"

With a thunderous roar that shook the earth, Kaido grasped the mace tightly on his right shoulder with both hands, surrounded by purple lightning, and swept forward.
