"Did he run away?"
As Rosen watched Ochoku transfer away from the pentagon-shaped crystal of Susanoo, there was no disappointment or anxiety on his face.
Warp-Warp Fruit.
While reviewing the intelligence about Ochoku brought by Monet at the North Blue 1st Branch, he realized how troublesome this Devil Fruit was.
Rosen had anticipated that the Warp-Warp Fruit could break Susanoo.
After all, while the Warp-Warp Fruit is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, it is the most troublesome spatial ability.
It seems to have neither offensive nor defensive capabilities, only the ability to instantly teleport itself to others. However, in the hands of a powerful Emperor-level expert, the Warp-Warp Fruit is more powerful than many offensive, all-around Paramecia, Mythical Zoan, or even Logia types.
It can be said that this is a Devil Fruit that can make the Emperor invincible.
The moment he decided to wage war against the Ochoku Pirates, Rosen had already mentally rehearsed this one-on-one battle against a Yonko crew countless times.
Upon landing at the Hachinosu, activate Susanoo to ensure your invincibility and avoid all sneak attacks and encirclements.
With the Bankai of the Sakanade, the Sakanade caused tens of thousands of pirates in the Ochoku crew to kill each other, and caused infighting among Ochoku's officers.
From officers to crew members, their fighting strength could not be united.
Then they faced Ochoku and Selra Vayne's combined attack.
He deliberately feigned being overwhelmed, luring Ochoku to use the power of the Warp-Warp Fruit to transfer inside Susanoo and launch a fatal attack.
After enduring the attack without taking damage using the Hierro, he then used the Kamishini no Yari to turn the tables and secure the kill.
All of this had been rehearsed countless times before Rosen landed on Hachinosu.
Later, during the battle, he used Observation Haki to block Ochoku and the others' Observation Haki, while he himself used Observation Haki without restraint to foresee the future, monitor the progress of the future battle, and control the changes in the current battle situation.
This led to Ochoku's astonishing feat of single-handedly taking on a Yonko crew without breaking a sweat or suffering any damage, thus severely crippling the Yonko pirate crew and also severely damaging Ochoku's reputation.
"This is one against ten thousand!"
"He actually managed to severely injure Ochoku in the blink of an eye!"
Is this man a monster?
On the other hand,
Selra Vayne also witnessed the king of Hachinosu, who was also his own king, being pierced by a shocking black light released from Rosen's hand.
He looked closely and realized that the black light, which resembled a laser beam, was actually a long sword that could extend and retract in an instant.
Realizing the situation was extremely unfavorable for Ochoku, and in order to prevent Rosen from using the Kamishini no Yari to pursue the injured Ochoku again, he grabbed a 30-meter-tall building next to him in a fit of shock and rage, using it as a projectile, imbuing it with Armament Haki, and then blasting it towards Susanoo with one hand.
However,
To the surprise and bewilderment of both Selra Vayne and Ochoku, who used the Warp-Warp Fruit to move from the head of Susanoo to a distance of 500 meters, Rosen did not relentlessly pursue Ochoku at this crucial moment.
After the leader manipulated Susanoo and smashed the house thrown by Susanoo into pieces, both Rosen and Susanoo simply stood still.
What does he want to do?
Selra Vayne was filled with doubt and uncertainty, but his body was completely unaffected.
Using a building as a cannonball to temporarily hold off Susanoo, he gripped his long sword, leaped forward, and charged at Susanoo single-handedly, continuing to stop Rosen from doing anything.
Regardless of whether Rosen pursues Ochoku, the important thing is to hinder him.
As Ochoku's second-in-command, he was well aware of his captain's abilities.
In terms of defense, health regeneration, and health bar, it can't compare to Kaido and Big Mom, who are also Yonko. But being inferior doesn't mean it has slow health regeneration, poor defense, or low health.
Those who can become the Yonko are all monsters with unfathomable health bars and the ability to do sit-ups again and again.
At least, that's true during their peak.
That's how Kaido is.
Ochoku was no exception.
Being pierced through the body by the Kamishini no Yari was indeed a serious injury, but with Ochoku's health bar and regeneration ability, as long as he was given a little time to catch his breath, he would definitely recover and continue fighting.
"Damn the sight-and-seek kill."
"If only I could use the Observation Haki."
"There's no way I'll get stabbed."
A red light flashed in Ochoku's eyes.
Although he couldn't foresee the future or sense Rosen's presence, there was one thing he could still do.
That was using Observation Haki to sense Selra Vayne's presence.
By observing the other party's movement route, and the friendship and tacit understanding built up over many years of cooperation and battles, he immediately realized Selra Vayne's intention: to buy him time.
at the same time.
Ochoku also sensed the other two members of the three leaders, and Raizen Kael and Charlotte Gore each dealt with the last two members of the Six Vajras.
Upon realizing all this, he did not hesitate and immediately activated the Warp-Warp Fruit.
And it is.
Fruit awakening.
As a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, once awakened, it can affect things other than the user themselves.
For example, right now.
call out
The difference between Selra Vayne and Raizen Kael.
The two leaders of the Ochoku Pirates disappeared from their original spot, and then, just like Ochoku before them, ignored the barrier of Susanoo's Haki body and were directly transferred to Susanoo's forehead.
He was inside the pentagon-shaped crystal, sharing the same space as Rosen.
As for Charlotte Gore, because the Island-Island Fruit needs to be fused with Hachinosu to unleash its full potential, Ochoku did not transfer it into Susanoo's body.
"Two people are inside, and one person is outside."
"If the three of them join forces, they are definitely no match for Rosen, but they should be able to delay him for a while."
"As long as I can hold on for a little while, that's fine."
After transferring the three leaders to Susanoo's forehead, Ochoku then focused his attention on his chest where he had been pierced.
For some reason, the places pierced by the Kamishini no Yari always give me a feeling of unease, unease, or even trembling.
He was very familiar with this feeling.
You only feel this way when you smell death.
Is something wrong here?
Looking at his bleeding chest, Ochoku felt a pang of gloom descend upon him.
Unlike Big Mom, who spends her days eating and drinking on Whole Cake Island without ever exercising or engaging in combat, he is not like her.
This leads to a decline in combat effectiveness and a weakening of will.
Especially in terms of mental state, they become extremely slow to react to dangerous things.
That's why.
After being pierced through the body by Rosen's Kamishini no Yari, Ochoku sensed the approach of death.
Considering that each of Rosen's Zanpakutō possessed extremely strange and powerful abilities, he was certain that the injury he had suffered was definitely not as simple as being pierced by a blade.
"Did you notice?"
Within Susanoo's brow, Rosen read Ochoku's thoughts in their entirety.
He had to admit that he truly lived up to his reputation as one of the Yonko at his peak.
These monsters, who have reigned supreme since the Great Pirate Era, are indeed all extraordinary.
There's a reason why the Five Elders are so wary of this, and why they went to such lengths to create a Shichibukai to maintain a balance of power.
Because the Yonko at their peak and the Yonko in their old age are not the same species at all.
It involves not only combat strength, but also physical fitness, willpower, reaction, intuition and many other aspects.
"Don't move!"
"Rosen."
After being transferred into Susanoo, Selra Vayne immediately activated his Strength-Strength Fruit, using his unparalleled power combined with Conqueror's Haki to slash at Rosen, who was right in front of him.
Without Susanoo's defense, he was confident that his strike would break through Rosen's defenses.
after all.
Unlike Ochoku, he ate the Strength-Strength Fruit, and after years of development, he possessed unparalleled superhuman strength.
At the same time.
"Meteor Cannon!"
Raizen Kael also transformed into his Pegasus-human-beast form, clenching his five fingers and wrapping them with Armament Haki. He unleashed a Haki Cannon Fist, which, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, possessed immense power that pierced through the mountain. Together with Selra Vayne's sword, they attacked Rosen from the left and right.
Charlotte Gore, who was not transferred into Susanoo by Ochoku, chose to focus on control rather than offense.
After merging with Hachinosu, he manipulated the earth to create two giant rock hands that burst forth from the ground, each hundreds of meters long. Then, like two colossal pythons, the two giant hands coiled around Susanoo.
Prevent Susanoo from moving, and also prevent it from having a chance to swing its sword.
"Too late!"
