Chapter 14 Unknown Enemy
Taji Island, in Stone Castle. At this time, this Castle that has stood for thousands of years was already a mess, burning everywhere, and the sounds of fighting constantly echoed.
"Monsters, monsters!"
"What the hell are these guys?!"
"Old Gill, where the hell are you biting?! I'm Old Bi Deng!"
It could be said that with King Boss's Trump Card revealed, it caused great trouble for the Pirates Nicholas brought.
Time rewinds to not long ago. As King Boss's voice fell, those hundreds of Armored Soldier, in the surprised gazes of Nicholas and others, their figures began to rapidly expand.
Then these Guard's arms turned into thick arms, and the palms that originally held Swords also turned into Beast Claw with sharp Claw. Human faces could no longer be seen at this time, replaced by Wolf Head with jagged canine teeth and saliva constantly flowing from their mouths.
As these people transformed into Werewolf, their speed and Power were greatly increased. Even those who were bitten by them would undergo the same transformation afterward.
Before long, the Pirates Nicholas brought suffered heavy casualties. Only some Pirates with strong Strength could survive.
Facing a Werewolf rushing towards him, Nicholas directly cut it in half with a single Sword. Through the gap in the Corpse, he looked at King Boss in front of the Throne in the distance and smiled, "Is this your reliance?"
After Nicholas finished speaking, he held the Long Sword with both hands, and then activated 'Lightning Mode'. Accompanied by tiny lightning bolts shuttling through his body, his whole person directly turned into afterimages, appearing in every corner of the Great Hall.
Almost all the Pirates and Guard who had turned into Werewolf, before they could react, felt a numbness first, then a coolness, and finally a violent pain, and then completely lost consciousness.
After Nicholas chopped the last Werewolf into several pieces, he directly shook off the Blood on his Sword. The Great Hall had already turned into a purgatory, Blood splattered everywhere, with Limbs and Internal Organs all over the ground.
Clap clap clap! For the hellish scene before them, everyone did not have much reaction. After all, they had seen or done even more Bloody scenes with their own eyes.
"As expected of the Seventh Division Captain of the Rocks Pirates with a Bounty of 700 million, your Strength is truly terrifying!"
Facing his subordinates who were almost completely dead and wounded, King Boss did not seem to feel any regret, as if those who died were just irrelevant people, not Knights who had followed him for many years and were loyal to his family for generations.
"Wolf Howl!" Just when Nicholas was about to directly take care of King Boss in front of him, a Wolf Howl suddenly came from the distance. Then, as if triggering a chain reaction, Wolf Howl also sounded from all over the Island at the same time.
In the continuous Wolf Howl, a large number of Werewolf ran out from inside the Castle. Judging from the tattered clothes on them, these should be the Staff who were once in the Castle.
King Boss's eyes also suddenly became bloodshot and completely red. Then, he took out a emerald green Syringe and directly stabbed it into his neck. Under the gaze of Nicholas and others, King Boss transformed into a terrifying Werewolf that was more than ten meters tall.
"Wolf Howl!" Accompanied by an angry roar, a Shockwave was emitted from King Boss's mouth at a speed visible to the naked eye, making the surrounding Great Hall even more dilapidated.
Looking at the Werewolf-transformed King Boss, Nicholas silently grinned, and then directly picked up his Long Sword and rushed up.
Vistad directly placed the Shield in his hand, which was as huge as a door panel, in front of him, protecting Simon and Bell-lin behind him.
"Big dumb guy, two minutes." Bell-lin, squatting on the ground studying the Werewolf Corpse, said to Vistad without raising her head.
"No problem!" After speaking, Vistad directly used an Axe to chop a pouncing Werewolf away.
"Hey, what does that mean? Can you guys not talk like you're speaking in riddles? My brain isn't good enough, I don't understand!"
After blowing the head of a Werewolf flying in the air with a Gun, Simon looked confused. Since the Bloody Feast ended, he and Kaido naturally became Trainee of Gibeck's Sword. But after witnessing the cold-blooded cruelty of the Rocks Pirates, facing Nicholas's invitation, he unhesitatingly chose to join Nicholas's Seventh Division. After all, compared to the unfamiliar Rocks, Nicholas, who had saved his life, seemed more reliable.
However, after he boarded the Ship, he realized that on Nicholas's Ship, ordinary Pirate and Companions recognized by Nicholas were completely different things. Just like now, even if many ordinary Pirate die, it doesn't matter. And on the Ship, besides Nicholas, the other two core members, Vistad and Bell-lin, were strange guys.
After Nicholas rushed towards King Boss, he first shattered a pouncing Werewolf with a Sword, then kicked the Werewolf next to him directly away, and then slashed at the Werewolf-transformed King Boss with a Sword.
Facing Nicholas's attack, King Boss also did not retreat at all, as if after transforming into a Werewolf, he only had the instinct and bestiality of fighting left. The sharp Claw, like a Long Sword, directly collided with the Long Sword in Nicholas's hand. When the Long Sword and Claw made contact, a large number of sparks appeared. Nicholas's Sword was very sharp, but facing the sharp Claw covered by Armament Haki, wanting to cut it off was not an easy task. It seemed that with the Werewolf transformation, the opponent's Armament Haki level had also been improved.
Almost when the two sides were in a stalemate, a trace of cunning flashed in King Boss's eyes. Then, the huge Wolf Head suddenly opened its Gaping Maw and bit towards Nicholas.
Nicholas seemed to have not reacted, and half of his body was bitten.
"Hey, Captain is about to kick the bucket." Simon looked at the battlefield of Nicholas and King Boss in the distance, and said to Vistad under his feet. That's right, he was now standing on Vistad's head, using him as a Sniping Platform.
"Don't worry, Captain is not that easy to die." Vistad said in a muffled voice, but his tone was full of confidence in Nicholas's Strength.
And as Vistad's voice fell, it could be clearly seen that half of Nicholas's body that was bitten began to emit dazzling lightning, and the sound of crackling also came from the air. Accompanied by a huge explosion, King Boss's mouth was smoking, and half of his face had disappeared. Some remaining Flesh and Blood with a burnt smell hung on his face, and the white bones were visible to the naked eye.
Nicholas, with a flash of lightning, appeared unscathed ten meters away from King Boss.
"Terrifying Observation Haki Prediction to perform Elementalization in advance? What a troublesome Ability."
King Boss looked at Nicholas, and the look of fear in his eyes became even stronger.
Just when Nicholas wanted to open his mouth to speak, a Sense of Crisis suddenly came from the side. This was Nicholas's Sixth Sense, Observation Haki enhanced by the Devil Fruit Ability of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which could be said to be absolutely infallible.
At the moment the Sense of Crisis appeared, Nicholas made a move to raise his Sword to block at the fastest speed. Accompanied by the sound of metal clashing, a Bullet emitting Sea Prism Stone aura slid off the dark Sword body.
Then, in Nicholas's perception, a Ship quickly sailed away into the distance.
"Tch, they ran away really fast." Nicholas said disdainfully. Then he looked up at King Boss in front of him.
"You're not King Boss, are you?" "Oh, you found out."
Werewolf King Boss looked at Nicholas and showed a smile, but paired with his bloody and bone-exposed face, it looked particularly eerie.
"I am indeed not King Boss. As for my true identity, of course I can't tell you. Alright, enjoy everything that follows."
As the voice fell, a confused voice came from King Boss's mouth. "What's going on? How did I become like this?!"
King Boss, looking at the messy Great Hall and the Werewolf Monster, his tone was full of horror. Especially when he realized that his perspective seemed a little different, and looked down to find that he had also turned into a Monster, he became even more collapsed.
