Chapter 2621 The Imposing Prestige of a Naval Lieutenant Commander!
The smoke slowly dispersed.
A figure so tall it was suffocating.
It gradually appeared before Kawakami Bansei and Kurishima Matako's eyes.
He is over two meters tall and has a robust, mountain-like physique.
He wore a well-tailored black suit, with a white overcoat symbolizing naval officers on top.
The other person was simply standing there.
A ferocious, predatory aura, like that of a wild beast, enveloped the entire battlefield like a tangible pressure.
Many of the demon soldiers around felt this aura.
His legs suddenly went weak, his teeth chattered, and he couldn't hold the sword steady.
He slowly raised his head, revealing a rugged and resolute face.
A menacing smile spread across his face.
"Introduce yourself."
"Lieutenant Commander Debes, under Admiral Kizaru, World Government Marine Headquarters."
He paused, his voice suddenly becoming lower and more dangerous.
"At the same time, he is also a user of the Zoan-type Bear-Bear Fruit in Black Bear form."
The voice just fell.
A deep, frenzied roar, unlike anything a human throat could produce.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Major Debes's body underwent a rapid and drastic change.
His muscles swelled and bulged wildly as if they were being inflated.
The black suit was stretched so tight it looked like it was about to burst.
The exposed skin was quickly covered by thick, glossy black hair.
Its face protrudes forward, its mouth and nose resemble a bear's snout, and its sharp teeth are menacing.
But his eyes still retained the sharpness and rationality of a human being.
In the blink of an eye, a terrifying monster nearly five meters tall, possessing both the upright form of a human and the characteristics of a black bear, stood in the center of the scene.
A white coat of justice was draped over his mountain-like body.
It adds to its majesty and power.
"What?!"
Kitajima Matako's pupils contracted sharply, and she instinctively took a half-step back.
"Do Devil Fruits really exist?!"
Kawakami Mansaki's breath hitched slightly as his expression changed drastically.
He could 'hear' the surging life force and ferocious, wild melody within the other person's body, like a volcano.
He was completely different from all the opponents he had ever encountered before.
"So."
Major Debes, in his human-beast form, habitually twisted his thick neck, producing a cracking sound as if his bones were grinding together.
Those deep brown bear eyes immediately locked onto He Shangwanqi.
His gaze was as if he were looking at a slightly stronger rabbit.
【boom! 】
next moment.
It left behind a swirling shockwave and cracked ground.
The five-meter-tall black bear giant vanished as if from a phantom.
"So fast!"
"Behind? No—above!"
Kawakami Bansei's sense of crisis exploded, thanks to his extraordinary hearing talent.
He finally captured the terrifying speed trajectory.
He leaped at an astonishing right angle to his own diagonal position.
At the critical moment.
As Wan Qi looked up, he swiftly swung his katana upwards.
The blade just in time to block a huge bear paw that was slamming down with a fierce gust of wind.
【clang----】
The deafening explosion of metal clashing together was deafening!
The moment the blade and palm made contact, Kawakami Mansuke's face turned pale.
The power transmitted from above is something that humans simply cannot possess.
It even surpasses his understanding of the word 'brute force'.
His all-out block was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
"Ugh!"
Wan Qi groaned, his arm bones creaking under the strain.
Unable to hold on any longer, he was sent flying backward like a cannonball amidst the sonic booms.
It crashed through more than a dozen cars before finally coming to a stop.
"Wan Qi!"
Upon witnessing this scene, Matako Kurushima's eyes widened in horror.
Without the slightest hesitation, she seized the opportunity when Major Debes landed and fired both guns simultaneously.
The specially designed armor-piercing shells poured out like a storm.
[Jingle bells—]
Dozens of bullets struck Major Debes’s body, which was covered in thick black hair.
The result was that it was bounced off, and the sparks didn't even damage a hair.
The defensive capabilities of that bear skin and muscles are comparable to those of heavy composite armor.
"How...how is this possible?!"
As the rapidly changing position of the island was being moved, a storm of emotions surged within Matako Kurishima.
Speed, strength, defense—this monster is ridiculously strong in every stat.
How can there be such an invincible person in the world?
"cough cough"
In the distance, He Shangwanqi, leaning on his sword, stood up unsteadily.
He casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes showing no fear but instead burning with an even more intense fighting spirit.
He took a deep breath, his aura surging, and the strings of his shamisen began to vibrate faintly.
"No matter where you come from or how powerful you are."
Wan Qi's tone remained elegant, yet it was filled with resolute determination.
"We, the Ghost Soldiers, follow Prince Shinsuke, and our ambition to burn this world to the ground will never be defeated here!"
The words fell.
His fingers plucked the strings rapidly.
In an instant, countless tough strings, almost invisible to the naked eye yet incredibly sharp, appeared.
It's like a net shooting out from the shamisen.
Wherever these strings passed, whether it was the ground, buildings, streetlights, or cars, they were all cut off silently.
However, faced with this sure-kill attack, Major Debes simply grinned, revealing a mocking smile.
He immediately reverted to his normal human form.
The body was only slightly turned to the side, the head tilted, and the waist twisted, by the slightest difference.
So let those dangerous strings brush past your hair and the hem of your clothes.
The movements were extremely fluid and natural, as if the 'path' had been 'seen' beforehand.
This type of tactic.
He could easily handle the situation with his 'paper drawing' and Observation Haki.
Unless the opponent is far stronger than him, unfortunately, Kawakami Bansei is the weaker one.
"This...this..." Kawakami Mansei was shocked.
"Have you had enough fun?"
Major Debes’ deep voice rang out, and then he transformed into a massive bear body.
[Whoosh! Bang!]
The concrete ground was shattered again.
He Shangwanqi suddenly felt the light above his head dim.
Immediately, he felt a terrifying killing intent that seemed to freeze his very soul.
Major Debes was still as fast as ever.
He could only swing the knife upwards with all his might.
[Thump!]
The large, thick bear paw was wrapped in Armament Haki.
It slammed down on Wan Qi's horizontally held blade with the force of Mount Tai pressing down.
The katana let out a mournful cry and shattered on the spot.
An indescribable force pierced through his body.
As Wan Qi coughed up blood, he felt as if his internal organs had shifted out of place.
His legs were driven into the ground as if they were nails.
[Boom—]
In an instant, the ground within a ten-meter radius of Wanqi collapsed and caved in nearly half a meter.
The spiderweb-like cracks spread for dozens of meters.
Smoke, dust, and gravel shot into the sky like a fountain.
"Wanqi!!!" Kitashima Matako's scream pierced the battlefield.
The smoke and dust slowly settled.
He Shangwanqi was trapped in the pit, covered in blood, his eyes closed, his breath weak, and he had lost consciousness.
Major Debes landed easily from mid-air.
The five-meter-tall bear stood on the edge of the pit, like a demon god overlooking the entire scene.
He twisted his wrist where he had just slapped the other hand.
With that deep brown, cruel yet playful gaze.
He slowly threw it at the trembling Kitajima Matako not far away.
"All right."
Major Debes's voice carried a sense of cat-and-mouse smugness.
He leaned his body slightly forward, preparing to pounce.
"Your turn next!"
"Play with me, little mouse."
The cold and cruel announcement brought the atmosphere to a freezing point.
The defeat of the Ghost Soldier Corps seemed inevitable, until a man's voice rang out.
"Let me play with you, little bear~"
