Roger drew his cutlass, and a sword wave erupted, shattering the bar’s wall without excessively damaging the building.
It was compressed sword energy!
The power was compressed to the extre, not for expansive range, but for sheer destructive force, like a certain overpowered move called the Rasengan.
Roger, to avoid harming innocents, minimized the sword wave’s range to its limit. Yet, as soone with top-tier combat power in this world, the power he unleashed instantly was not to be underestimated.
In a flash, it shattered Alucard’s bullets. Even so, the sword wave didn’t stop, continuing its surge towards Alucard and the Maelstrom Spider Pirates.
CRACKLE!
Roger’s sword wave swept through, slicing hundreds of entangled individuals in half, including Alucard.
The sword wave was too fast and too fierce; no one had ti to react before being horizontally cleaved.
As for Alucard, he simply didn’t know how to "dodge."
In less than three seconds, the street in front of the bar was littered with countless bisected corpses, a bloody spectacle.
Residents who had been secretly peering through window cracks, living near the street, were directly terrified to the point of vomiting or even fainting.
Roger imdiately sensed the annihilation of the Maelstrom Spider Pirates, and for a mont, he was dumbfounded, muttering to himself, "Oh, no... I didn’t control my power properly..."
He genuinely hadn’t intended to kill everyone in the Maelstrom Spider Pirates. He only rushed in to save Buggy and the others when their heads were almost blown off by bullets. He accidentally failed to perfectly control his power, resulting in this outco.
Shanks and the others quickly got up and rushed to the bar’s entrance, just in ti to see Alucard, who had been cleaved in half like the Maelstrom Spider Pirates, suddenly dissolve into black mist before re-coalescing and reviving.
Shanks and his crew were long accustod to such scenes of carnage; they rely paused for a mont and showed no further reaction.
Buggy, on the other hand, was captivated by Alucard’s ability. In truth, with his Chop-Chop Fruit powers, he could also be cut by a sword and reattach himself, but Alucard’s ability looked far more astonishing—true immortality.
"Roger, you’ve completely wiped out the Maelstrom Spider Pirates..." Rayleigh said, standing beside Roger at the bar’s entrance.
"Ah, well... I just accidentally didn’t control my strength properly..." Roger scratched his head sheepishly.
"No, they’re not all gone yet."
Alucard, having reassembled himself, suddenly spoke, pointing his gun towards a broken house.
There, Squard, the captain of the Maelstrom Spider Pirates, was just erging from the rubble. After being kicked flying by Alucard earlier, he had fortunately avoided Roger’s slash. Whether Alucard had saved his life or not was debatable.
"Ah... ah..."
Upon seeing the bisected corpses of his comrades at Alucard’s feet, Squard was in so much pain that he could barely speak, his throat emitting a hoarse sound.
Alucard suddenly smiled, putting Casull and Jackal back into his trench coat. He walked over to Squard, who was agonizingly kneeling on the ground, and said with great incitent, "Roger killed all your comrades, you know."
"Hey! Alucard!" Rayleigh frowned and called out, but this didn’t stop Alucard’s words. "Are you going to deny it, Roger? The Maelstrom Spider Pirates were wiped out by you. I only took down a few people; all the other hundred were killed by you. Am I wrong?"
If there was a classic phrase to describe the Roger Pirates’ current mood, it would be: "That makes so much sense, I can’t even refute it!"
Roger wasn’t soone who excelled at verbal sparring. Over ninety percent of the Maelstrom Spider Pirates were indeed killed by his single slash just now. So, saying they were completely annihilated by him wasn’t wrong at all. But why did it still sound... off?
"Graaahhh!" Squard roared, having lost his sanity under Alucard’s highly inflammatory words. He drew his large katana and charged at Roger.
"Captain!"
Shanks and the others quickly moved to block in front of Roger, but Roger pulled them aside, allowing Squard’s blade to strike him.
Then, Squard’s katana was deflected. It was Armant Haki defense! Due to the recoil, Squard fell to the ground. Roger scratched his beard awkwardly, "If I told you I didn’t do it on purpose, would you forgive ?"
"AAAAH! AAH! AAH!" Squard picked up his blade again and hacked at him. Roger raised a hand to block, stopping Squard’s blade with his bare skin. He said helplessly, "I told you I didn’t do it on purpose! It was Alucard’s bullets..."
But Squard was beyond listening to Roger’s words, rely swinging his cutlass repeatedly in a rage, while Roger simply blocked all the attacks with his bare hands.
After Squard had swung his blade over twenty tis, Alucard put his sunglasses back on and walked into the bar. "Boring. I’m going back for another drink."
"Hey! You!" Buggy angrily looked at Alucard. He had already heard Nozdon explain what exactly happened, and wasn’t all of this caused by that bastard Alucard shooting wildly?
However, Alucard paid no more attention to Squard. He went back into the bar, called Aria and the others out, and continued drinking, only this ti facing the door, watching Roger and Squard’s battle as if it were a performance.
