"Heaaaaah!"
"Go!!"
"They’re just lifeless undead, kill them all!"
The Marines roared and joined the battle. In an instant, the two armies clashed.
It must be said that the strictly trained Marines of Headquarters did have their advantages. At the very least, in a one-on-one fight, the undead army was no match.
Borsalino used his Yata no Kagami to move to the side of an ice mountain, standing on a jagged rock. With his hands in his pockets, he watched Alucard in the distance, who was positioned in the middle of the undead army.
"Hmm~ If we can take out the commander, we can probably crush the morale of their entire army, right? Although I don’t know if these things even have morale."
With that, Borsalino once again transford into light and appeared above the undead army. He crossed his arms. "Yasakani no Magatama!"
Countless light particles shot down. But just as they were fired, several straight silver beams of light cut through them, turning them all into dust and diverting them from their original trajectory. Not a single one hit Alucard.
Swoosh!
While Borsalino’s Haki was not as good as the other two Logia Vice Admirals, Kuzan and Sakazuki, and far from Issho’s, that didn’t an he was weak.
The mont the last silver light flashed, Borsalino quickly turned his head and looked at where the back of his head had been. The teleporter was right above him, his silver glowing eyes fixed on him.
"What a scary speed and attack power~ Can you tell what your ability is?" Borsalino pouted and asked.
Swoosh!
The answer was a hand blade filled with Haki.
Clang!!!
A collision sound rang out. In the nick of ti, Borsalino created his Ama no Murakumo sword, and the silver-haired old man’s hand blade struck the blade itself.
"You’ll die if you get hit by that!"
Kuzan leaped into the air, his hands also forming hand blades as two ice birds burst out and attacked.
"Ice Pheasant: Double Shot!!"
The silver-haired old man looked back, extended his left hand, and gripped the neck of an ice bird. He then gave it a hard swing, sending it flying back to crash into the other ice bird, shattering both into ice shards.
Whirrr...
Borsalino’s golden-glowing right foot kicked the old man’s right hand, putting him at a temporary disadvantage. But as Borsalino was about to press his attack, the old man appeared on another ice mountain at an unbelievable speed.
Borsalino and Kuzan both landed from the sky. After taking out so of the River of Death soldiers around them, they looked at the old man.
"Now I can be pretty sure. The attack is a learned ’no-sword’ style, and the ability is teleportation," Borsalino said.
"I’ve read the Devil Fruit encyclopedia," Kuzan said from behind him. "The Swap-Swap Fruit user who can teleport appeared a few hundred years ago. It’s a legendary Devil Fruit that can instantly swap places with an inanimate object you can see. It’s a super troubleso ability..."
Kuzan paused slightly and looked at the giant, sun-blocking ice giant, who was currently fighting Garp. "As for that one..."
"Just like Admiral Sengoku, a Mythical Zoan." At that mont, Issho stood on a broken rock, flying about five ters above the two of them. "Although he’s also an extrely terrifying opponent, with Vice Admiral Garp there, he shouldn’t cause too much trouble. But our army is at a massive disadvantage. We should probably ask Fleet Admiral Kong for backup."
"Ah..."
Kuzan nodded in agreent and looked back at the silver-haired old man on the ice mountain. "But the Swap-Swap Fruit is still a huge problem. Borsalino is fast, but he can instantly teleport."
"Kuzan and I will handle that monster," Borsalino said, then charged up the mountain with his signature speed. Even if he wasn’t as fast as his opponent, so what?
He had to fight this ti. There was no room for him to be lazy.
"I’m not used to being so passionate, but I guess I don’t have a choice..." Kuzan complained with a frown, controlling his ice to prepare for long-range attacks.
"I’m not used to fighting speed-type opponents. I’ll leave it to you two." Issho said, just about to control the rocks to move to another battlefield. He suddenly spoke again. "Vice Admiral Kuzan, did you notice anything about Alucard’s ultimate move?"
"Ah... I did notice quite a few strange things," Kuzan nodded grimly, his body turning into ice. "But now isn’t the ti to talk about it. Let’s keep fighting!"
"I will support the soldiers who are in trouble! We will wait for Fleet Admiral Kong’s reinforcents!"
Issho flew to the center of the clashing armies. He couldn’t see the specific details of a person, but he could perfectly sense Alucard’s location.
At that mont, Alucard was like a count sitting in the middle of his castle.
"How strange..." Issho muttered to himself. "After releasing this army, he just sits in the middle like a king. Does he think... he no longer needs to make a move himself?"
Issho’s guess was reasonable. Kuzan and Borsalino were at a disadvantage against the single Swap-Swap Fruit user. Vice Admiral Garp was holding back the ice titan, but even with Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals on the Marine side, who was to say the enemy didn’t have their own?
The enemy had plenty of gunn, but more importantly, they were an undead army. They weren’t afraid of death, and they would keep attacking even after losing an arm or a leg, causing a devastating blow to the Marines. At this rate, it was only a matter of ti before the Marines were defeated.
"No ti to worry about the ’King.’ Now I must think of a way to preserve the Marine forces. Fleet Admiral Kong should be arriving soon, right?"
Issho was about to say more when he suddenly felt a dangerous presence. He drew his sword and blocked a powerful attack.
"This feeling is... Rokushiki’s Soru... but there’s no sign of life. It’s an enemy," Issho whispered.
In front of him was indeed a Marine Vice Admiral—a Marine Vice Admiral that Alucard had killed many years ago!
"Alucard’s ability is..."
Issho blocked the enemy’s Rokushiki and landed on the ground, as the army of the dead began to surround him.
