Chapter 2635 Blood Arena. Hunting Claw!
"Then let me see what this is like, hmm."
"Just how powerful are you, protected by the resentment of the Asuras?"
"Anyway, there's no rush to clear up the misunderstanding."
Maynard had barely finished speaking—
"Gin-chan—, I'm here to help you!"
A clear yet anxious shout, like a sharp arrow piercing through the smoke of gunpowder, came from behind Gintoki.
Kagura!
After entrusting the seriously injured Kawakami Mansai and Kurishima Matako to Shinpachi and Sadaharu for care.
Unable to contain himself any longer, he grabbed the purple umbrella and rushed over like an angry little lion.
Look not far away.
Elizabeth was already holding up a sign that said "Under Treatment" and was squatting down next to Katsura Kotaro to tend to his injuries.
On Takasugi's side, there was also Takeshi Henpeita who appeared out of nowhere.
Gintoki's expression changed drastically: "Idiot! Don't come any closer! Kagura!"
The man practically roared, his voice filled with unprecedented panic.
He knew all too well the strength of Colonel Maynard in front of him.
Kagura rushing forward is like a lamb entering a tiger's den.
There was no hesitation.
At the very moment Gintoki shouted, he mustered his remaining strength, stomped his feet on the ground, and, wielding his twin swords, transformed into a silver-blue afterimage, launching a desperate charge.
He must draw the other party's full attention and absolutely prevent them from attacking Kagura.
"Oh?"
"Was it to take the initiative to protect that girl?"
Colonel Maynard's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of admiration flashing within them.
But more than anything, there was composure: "Commendable courage, but..."
Fighting breaks out again.
But Colonel Maynard simply stood still, either turning slightly to the side or raising his hand to block.
He easily deflected Gintoki's furious double-sword combo.
His movements were concise, efficient, and without any unnecessary actions.
It resembles a precisely calculated combat machine.
Colonel Maynard's Armament Haki is refined and profound.
When applied to fists, feet, or specific parts of the body, it exhibits a deeper, darker sheen than Major Debes's.
When Gintoki's wooden sword and real sword struck it, not even a trace of white mark could be left.
His Observation Haki is far superior to Major Debes'.
It was as if Gintoki could see through every subtle muscle twitch, change in breath, and even the premonition of the sword's movement in advance.
Those tricky and unpredictable moves and feints were like child's play.
Maynard is particularly skilled at combining finger pistol techniques with claw techniques.
With fingers like hooks, even without any domineering aura, they can easily tear through steel.
In terms of basic strength, speed, reaction, endurance, and combat experience, she completely surpasses Gintoki.
Gintoki's all-out attack seemed to him like a slow-motion replay, easily dodged or blocked with a casual response.
But Maynard was not in a hurry to subdue his opponent.
His attention was more focused on 'Ashura', who was always standing behind Gintoki.
He would deliberately reveal some weaknesses from time to time to lure Gintoki into launching more cunning attacks.
I want to see the mechanics and potential of this guardian spirit.
really.
Whenever Maynard's counterattack was about to severely damage Gintoki
For example, a finger gun is about to pierce Gintoki's abdomen.
Or perhaps the Tempest Kick was about to sever Gintoki's calf.
The Asura will then protect you in the same way as before.
Swords and blades parried, precious pearls formed a barrier.
Its reaction speed is extremely fast and its defensive capabilities are quite impressive.
It was enough to withstand Maynard's lenient attack.
This allowed Gintoki to narrowly avoid or withstand the aftermath.
But Maynard quickly discovered the key.
This seemingly self-willed Asura, as expected, only knows how to defend and never retaliates or attacks proactively.
Even if there is an opportunity, there is no reaction.
This is likely because Gintoki himself was completely unaware of its existence.
It had no intention of commanding or communicating with itself during the battle.
This means that the guardian spirit's actions are based on some kind of protective mechanism or instinct.
Regarding the upper limit.
Through several tentative attempts to increase strength.
Maynard roughly figured out the defensive strength of this 'Asura'.
It is strong enough to withstand attacks from majors to lieutenant colonels.
However, significant fluctuations occur when facing forces at higher levels.
The question is, what does its action consume?
Mental strength?
Is it spiritual power? Or physical strength?
Maynard completed his assessment in his mind and lost interest in continuing to probe.
at the same time.
Kagura had already rushed to the edge of the battle, and it was clear that Gintoki was in grave danger at Maynard's hands.
Those large, bright blue eyes were gradually filled with surging, bloodshot veins.
"Don't you dare hurt Gin-chan!"
A wild and violent roar, completely unlike that of a young girl, burst forth from the depths of her throat.
His bright orange hair moved without wind, and he exuded a chilling and fierce aura.
This blood in her body is less from the Yato clan and more from her parents.
The power temporarily awakened under the stimulation of extreme anger.
At this moment, her physical fitness, speed, reaction time, and combat talent have soared to a whole new level.
But the price is that the killing instinct begins to overwhelm reason.
After all, Kagura hasn't grown to the level of Kamui yet.
however.
Just as the girl rushed towards Maynard without hesitation.
"Little girl, let me be your opponent!"
A tall, muscular figure instantly blocked her path.
It turned out to be Major Debes, who had just climbed out of the pit, taken the Purple Butterfly Pill, and recovered some of his strength and injuries.
In his human form, there was still blood on the corner of his mouth.
However, the bruise on his chin caused by the 'Lake Toya' has been removed through the life-saving treatment.
The humiliation of being defeated by Gintoki and his gang at this moment.
He couldn't allow this Yato girl to interfere with Colonel Maynard's battle.
"Get out of my way, you black bear demon!" Kagura roared furiously.
With a whooshing sound, he swung the purple umbrella at Major Debes.
Major Debes once again activated his Devil Fruit power, transforming into a black bear to meet the attack.
In an instant, the rabbit and the bear were locked in a fierce battle.
During the collision, a fierce burst of energy was released, causing widespread destruction in its path.
however.
Colonel Maynard seemed oblivious to the fighting around him.
His gaze remained fixed on the warrior before him, who was already covered in wounds and whose twin swords were swinging at a slower pace, yet he was still trying to entangle him.
"That's it for now."
Colonel Maynard's words, which carried a sense of finality, sounded rather cold.
But the moment he finished speaking, his aura suddenly changed.
He no longer held back or tested the waters.
The fingers of both hands are bent into claws.
A thick, almost impenetrable layer of Armament Haki, like the darkest night sky, quickly covered his forearm.
His ten fingers displayed a sharpness and razor-sharpness that sent chills down one's spine.
"Blood Arena. Hunter's Claw!"
For the first time, he took the initiative to rush forward.
It combines the techniques of shaving with the special effects of Thunder Breathing.
It displayed astonishing speed, transforming into an unparalleled golden lightning bolt.
Gintoki's pupils constricted as lightning filled his vision.
But the samurai's intuition told him of a deadly crisis.
All he could do was cross his twin swords in front of him in an attempt to block.
【Shua————】
Two dark claw-like shadows flashed past amidst the dazzling golden lightning.
There were no violent collisions or stalemates.
There were only two faint but heart-stopping cracking sounds.
The 'Lake Toya' sword and the steel-forged samurai sword in Gintoki's hand snapped in two.
The cut surface is as smooth as a mirror, as if it had been laser-cut.
"Wh-what?!" Gintoki's astonishment froze on his face.
Maynard's attacks did not stop.
Those claws were covered in jet-black ink and crackled with golden electricity.
Undeterred, it grabbed his wide-open chest.
This was a move powerful enough to kill Major Debes.
It not only made Gintoki's spirit tremble, but also made him feel as if he could see the Sanzu River and the spider lilies.
This caused the 'Guardian Spirit' Ashura's expression to change drastically.
