Chapter 67
Bullet Swallow
Speed is power.
The old man often said that Kizaru was a very fast man.
Kuro also admitted that it did make sense.
In addition to [Lightless Divine Wind], Kuro’s best swordsmanship is Iaido, and Iaido is about speed.
One Blade Flow, One-Line Sky, or Iaido, One-Line Sky is a more practical move in his swordsmanship.
It is important to move fast and slash out as fast as possible without giving people time to react.
Chi!!!
Barker’s thick crocodile skin has ten more cross marks that are deep enough to see the bone. The body of the huge crocodile trembled, softened and transformed into Barker, and there are ten scars on his chest.
Barker’s eyes rolled back in his head and his mouth was wide open. His body swayed and he kept panting.
If he hadn’t become the most vigorous crocodile in the South China Sea, he would have died.
Buck Arlo, born on a big island in the South China Sea, the area is not lower than Alabasta, and they are born in a small kingdom in the island. There is a big river nearby, and the people in the kingdom basically live on that river.
However, there was a group of crocodiles living in the river, which was the Shell Needle Crocodile. This creature had once bitten his parents to death.
The kingdom had once sent troops to clean it up, but the army suffered heavy losses.
Because neither guns nor cannons can kill this crocodile. It’s not that it can’t break the defense, but it can’t be killed. This kind of crocodile has amazing vitality.
However, the encirclement and suppression of the army at least stopped the growth of crocodiles until one day, the kingdom gave up on the encirclement and suppression of crocodiles due to internal strife. When the small kingdom re-established the rules, they found that the river had been completely occupied by crocodiles.
No one can survive without water.
Some left their hometowns and some died or were injured. The small kingdom quickly became a wasteland.
Later, the World Government took action and wiped out alligators.
That kind of crocodile had left a deep impression on Barker since he was young. During that time, he happened to eat the Devil Fruit and the first thing he remembered was the form of the Shell Spiked Crocodile.
But he had never used it.
Now that his life was in danger, he subconsciously used this animal from his hometown that he remembered.
Crowe stood up and looked at the tottering Barker and gritted his teeth. “How tenacious.”
That “Speed Shave” skill put a lot of pressure on him. His body couldn’t bear the side effects of this skill and his legs were still trembling.
He originally thought that he would be able to deal with Barker, but it seems that the 300 million pirates are really not to be underestimated.
However, this was the end.
Crowe took a few steps forward and pointed his claws at Barker, ready to attack.
“Ah ah ah!”
At this moment, Barker put his hands together and roared.
“I won’t die, I won’t! I’m only one step away from Paradise. You forced me. Look, I didn’t even change my appearance when facing Jack!”
The epidermis is softening and Buck is shrinking.
“Shave.”
Crowe’s eyes narrowed, and he suddenly accelerated and hit the back of Barker’s heart.
He felt that something was wrong.
However, the claw blade missed and Barker disappeared.
In the next moment, his pupils constricted and a tingling feeling attacked his heart.
“Rapid Speed Shaving: Circular!”
A circular wave of air surged around him. Crowe’s speed was faster than before and he disappeared in an instant. At this moment, a small black shadow rushed towards his original position. With a soft sound, a small hole the size of half a palm appeared on the ground.
The hole was very deep.
“Ha… Ha…”
Crowe appeared at the other end of the circular wave of air, half crouched, staring at the hole and panting.
On his cheek, there was a trace of blood, and a trace of blood flowed from the wound.
Even if he dodged at the first moment, he still couldn’t avoid it. He couldn’t even see its shape, he only knew that it was very fast.
And very sharp.
Crowe’s body was tense as he stared at the hole on the ground. Suddenly, a black shadow shot out of the hole under the moonlight. Crowe also moved at this time.
“Speed Shave Tiger Claw!”
His figure disappeared and instantly appeared at the entrance of the cave. Ten crossed claws attacked the entrance of the cave.
Chi!
The black shadow passed through the gaps of his dense web-like claws and pierced his arm.
“He avoided it! How is that possible!” Crowe was shocked.
“Chirp!”
A loud cry sounded in the air, sounding a little proud.
This time, Crowe saw it clearly. It was a black swallow less than half the size of a palm. Its long beak was like a sword, and its tail was like a scissors, circling in the air.
“Bullet swallow?”
Leda was stunned and exclaimed, “Hey, didn’t this creature go extinct a few years ago?”
Kuro looked at the swallow strangely. “It’s this thing…”
Crowe’s face was especially ugly.
He came from East Blue and naturally knew about this creature.
Bullet Swallow, a creature of the East China Sea. It was once feared in the East China Sea. This swallow is very fast and small. It is called ‘Bullet Swallow’.
Their mouths are very sharp and can easily pierce through steel, and they are very agile. So far, no attack can capture them.
They are carnivores. Once they are targeted by such swallows, they will poke a bloody hole in the animal and take away a piece of meat.
Bullet swallows don’t eat much and a piece of meat can feed them, but this kind of swallow… is a social creature.
Even a Sea King would soon be reduced to a skeleton under the siege of a group of swallows.
This group of creatures is a terrifying legend of East Blue.
“How do you know they are extinct?” Kuro asked Leda.
Leda smacked her lips and said longingly, “Because I heard that it was delicious. One of the main reasons I came to East Blue was to find this kind of swallow. Unfortunately, it is really extinct. The hateful thing is that it was just a year before I came to East Blue. If it was later, I might have been able to find it.”
However, Barker had never been to East Blue, so why would he have the memories of this creature?
Barker, in his swallow form, hovered in the air, feeling very proud.
This was the strongest creature he could disguise himself with.
Although Barker was a supernova, he was not young and was already in his forties. Twenty years ago, he came to East Blue and saw the execution of One Piece.
When he returned, he saw this group of swallows hunting sea kings.
That powerful and skillful posture made Barker think that this was the strongest and most flexible creature he had encountered.
This was his trump card. He had only used this creature when he wanted to challenge Kaido, so he did not use it even when facing Jack, who had wiped them out.
He did not expect to use it here.
Since he had used it, he would kill all these people!
“Moonwalk!”
Crowe stepped on the sky and struck with his claw blade.
There was no need for Barker to defend with his heart. The airflow brought by waving his weapon would make the bullets avoid instinctively.
No matter what kind of attack it is, for this kind of creature, as long as there is a trajectory and as long as it can trigger the airflow, it is impossible to hit it.
Crowe swung a few times, and Barker kept close to Crowe’s claws and kept flying.
Chi!
Bullet Swallow rubbed against Crowe’s thigh, bringing out a small mass of flesh.
“Chirp!”
His proud high-pitched voice meant that Crowe understood.
Next time, he would pierce himself.
