Rebirth in One Piece as Deputy Captain

Chapter 242



Chapter 242

Because of Lin Tian’s guidance and follow-up, the battle from the very beginning was divided into two parts. Sanji vs. Gin, and Luffy went with the strongest Krieg, and Ellie was active in the pirate group at the beginning.

TL note: Gin the “Man-Demon” is a pirate and the Combat Commander (Sentō sōtaichō) of the Krieg Pirates. However, unlike Krieg, Gin has a sense of honor, being unable to bring himself to kill Sanji, the first person to show him kindness (by saving him from starvation).

Luffy, who is a rubber man, is completely nemesis in the face of the intractable metal spike.

Over a large mast, Luffy quickly sat down, and the spikes slid over his head whizzingly. Luffy couldn’t help but relax, and exclaimed fortunately: “It’s so risky, almost got stabbed.”

On the other hand, although Ellie had only practiced swordsmanship for a month, with Lin Tian’s full guidance, her fighting power was not weak at all; a simple pirate could be solved in a few moves.

Turned over to avoid a pirate sneak attack behind her, and kick the pirate knife under the foot with the sole of the foot along the ground. The sharp pirate knife penetrated pirate’s body with extreme speed and died.

Kang Dang!

Letting go and then holding it horizontally, block the pirate knife cut from behind, turn over and spin, kick pirate’s calf behind her, and kick it out.

But it’s not a loss to be the crew of the strongest pirate fleet in East Blue. The battle strength is much stronger than other pirates. The palm rests on the ground, stopping the momentum. At the same time, the sword in his hand is twisting with the body and slashing towards Ellie.

Ellie evaded to the right quickly, but it was still a little late. A sharp blade struck her arm, and a blood stain immediately appeared.

Grabbing the opportunity, she his face with a flying kick. In an instant, all the blood from her arm came out. Ellie just ignored it, and her long sword slid gently on his neck.

Compared with her, the situation on the Sanji’s side is a bit bad. The man named Akin has a good battle strength, but it is the total Captain of the entire pirate fleet. The strength is the most basic.

Sanji, as one of the protagonists of the entire world, is not as dazzling as his future, and is now being beaten by Gin. This is the result of Gin not showing mercy.

Within a few strokes, Gin seized the opportunity, volleyed a hammer, and smashed it mercilessly. The wooden boards underneath was all shattered by the huge force.

Squeezing Sanji’s neck tightly, Gin sat on the ground with his knees crossed, lowered his head and said calmly: “Didn’t I say, Mr. Sanji, you are not my opponent. Let me make you disappear from this world.”

The rotating heavy hammer slammed down suddenly, and Sanji spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth, interrupting Gin’s attack. He slid forward, avoiding the attack of the heavy hammer.

With both hands propped up, his powerful right leg slammed down at Gin’s head fiercely, but Gin endured the pain, the hammer in the other hand was hitting Sanji’s abdomen in the air.

……

The two people on the side are still standing there, without any intention of making any move.

Although Krieg is a trivial ant for Lin Tian, it is a rare opponent for Luffy, and it is very suitable for Luffy at this time.

Hawk Eyes will continue to stay here because of Lin Tian. At the same time, he wanted to see what he could do with the grandson of the marine hero Garp, who can make Lin Tian be his deputy.

“How about it, Hawk Eyes, my disciple is alright?” Lin Tian asked proudly with a smile, training for a month, there is such a battle strength, even if it is compared to Lin Tian.

Hawk Eyes is still arrogant as usual, and calmly said: “In my opinion, it is just a group of ants fighting each other, and it can be used to pass the time.”

“Ugh…” Lin Tian immediately became speechless, feeling that talking to Hawk Eyes was more tiring than fighting him.

Looking back, Lin Tian looked at the battle in the field, and said disdainfully: “This Krieg is really rubbish. Even poison weapon is used. This kind of people who used unreliable means for reaching the goal would have got along with Akainu.”

Looked at the location where the gas bombs were attacking, “Hawk Eyes, it seems that the other party is going to solve us as well. Are we just going to stand here and continue to pretend or…”

However, Hawk Eyes used actions to show his answer. Standing unmoved, obviously preparing to pretend to the end, and Lin Tian had to accompany him to continue pretending.

bang!

When the poison gas bomb exploded, the released poison gas covered the entire sea. Those pirates had been prepared long ago, and they all wore poison gas masks. The cook was a little weaker, and most of them dived into the sea to avoid the poison gas.

TL note: The deadly poison-gas bomb MH5 (Mōdoku Gasu-Dan Emu-eichi-faibu) is Krieg’s most dreaded weapon: an explosive shell containing a highly potent chemical toxin. Typically fired from the central launcher in Krieg’s left shoulder-plate, its impact spreads a large cloud of gas that lasts around five minutes. The poison inflicts immediate organ failure and internal bleeding on anyone who breathes it unprotected and—according to Krieg—kills within an hour. As a precaution for its use, Krieg and his crewmen all carry gas masks. The gas is apparently harmless through mere skin exposure, as Luffy—with a stolen mask—was able to survive with no ill effects even when his body was completely engulfed. Knowing it can destroy whole villages, Krieg uses this weapon sparingly. In fact, he has been known to bait enemies with a decoy that looks identical to the real shell, but explodes to scatter shuriken instead.

Not far in the sea, several chefs who escaped floated on the surface of the sea, looking at the purple poison gas floating on the surface, their faces were very angry.

“This is despicable! To actually use poison gas in battle. What about Sanji or Luffy…”

“By the way, the two powerful swordsmen didn’t seem to run out either. Could it be that they…”

Scatter!

Someone shouted in a low voice sounded from the poison gas, and then a hurricane vented from the poison gas, the poison gas on the sea was blown away in an instant. It was Lin Tian with the Chasing Wind.

“Even poison gas is useless for both of them. Are they still human? This is the kind of powerhouse in Grand Line…

Seeing Lin Tian and Hawk Eyes who didn’t wear a mask unscathed in the poison gas, everyone who was still alive was shocked, and their tone revealed deep fear.

“No loss is two legendary men.” said Red Leg Zeff with a cold sweat on his forehead.

In the field, except for the battle captain Gin who inhaled the poison gas, both Luffy and Ellie had masks given by Lin Tian; not at all were hurt by the poison gas including Sanji because Gin gave him his face mask and saved his life.

Feeling the respect and admiration from Gin to Sanji before he died, Krieg showed disdain on his face, “Gin, blame yourself for being so generous. Forget it. If you don’t die, you won’t understand anyway, hahaha… The bastard who doesn’t obey my orders must die. A guy like him might commit another treason, so kill him now! Ah, this is kind of fun!”

Don Krieg; whether it was the pirates under him or the chef fighting against him, he showed no mercy. It makes the remaining surviving pirate chill.

And all this caused Luffy to go crazy in an instant, shouting angrily, holding his fist high, and rushing towards Krieg.

Seeing this, Krieg smiled triumphantly on his face, “Kid, don’t be so rampant as Devil Fruit Ability User when you’re so close to the ocean”

Threw a few bombs at will, blowing up the plank in front of him, and at the same time, in the rotating machine gun in his hand, there were endless spikes.

“Hahaha… kid, you’re too naive, plus the sea water and my spikes, you will definitely die.”

Unfortunately, the voice hasn’t fallen yet. Luffy’s body has a number of spiked silhouettes inserted in his whole body. Amidst everyone’s stunned eyes, he sprang out of the sea.

Krieg was taken aback for a moment, and opened his cloak backhand. It was covered with spikes and a smug smile appeared on his face. With this cloak, he is absolutely safe.

TL note: The Kenzan Mantle (Kenzan Manto, lit. “Sword Mountain Mantle”; Porcupine Cape in all English versions) is a secondary cape covered with fist-sized metal spikes. Normally stored under one of Krieg’s shoulder-plates, it is used as a defense in close quarters, especially against foes that try to aim for his legs and/or head.

“Luffy, be careful!”

Bang!

Rubber Rubber Pistol!

Luffy punched firmly on the cloak covered with spikes, then fiercely moved towards Krieg with a punch in the face, and fell to the ground. He pulled out the thorns from his body and kept going.

A wave slowly surfaced on Hawk Eyes’s calm face, and he gently confided in his mouth.

“This young man, very interesting. The gun of faith in his belly is enough to surpass a hundred weapons. Once the goal is determined, he would do his best to complete it. I can’t help but think of that bastard.”

Lin Tian smiled, a little admired: “Don’t look at our captain’s usual nerves. He likes to mess around with things, but at a critical moment, our captain can often overtake us people and see the essence of things.”

Hawk Eyes did not continue to speak, but quietly watched what was happening before him.

At this time, a silhouette stood up, touched the blood on his face. With a look of fear, flames suddenly burst out of his body.

TL note: the armor features two segmented arm-guards made of plainer steel (Hagane), which Krieg can raise over his face at a moment’s notice. These also boast built-in armaments: the right holds a small flamethrower with considerable range, capable of reducing a log to cinders within seconds; the left can deploy a weighted metal net for entangling enemies.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not, Ellie just happened to be nearby. The blazing flame instantly entrapped Ellie in the flame.

Seeing this, Lin Tian was angry immediately. Dared to besiege his beauty disciple in the flames without saying a word…

He pulled back his right hand and then he swung a powerful slash, puff, the flames instantly splitting into two, falling into the sea, splashing waves, extinguishing all the fire.

However, the powerful slash has an unabated momentum. After cutting the flames apart, the slash still has a powerful formidable power and directly rushed into the battlefield of the battle between Luffy and Krieg.

Kang Dang!

The first half of Krieg’s one-ton battle gun fell directly to the ground. The explosive tip has been smashed in Luffy’s fist, and a thumb-sized red cloth was floating in the sky. The audience was silent.

Luffy raised his right foot and looked at the huge crack where he was standing just now with fear on his face. He patted his chest, and quickly sighed in relief.

He was so angry that he shouted at Lin Tian: “Hey, Lin Tian, what are you doing?! Not only you disturbed my battle, but almost cut me off just now.”

Coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment, and said in a lot of meanings: “Sorry, Luffy. I was a little excited just now, you can continue.”

“What kind of ‘little excited’ was that?! Almost cut off the captain, what would you do if you were impulsive? Are these pirates idiots from the captain to the next?” Sanji with a cig in his mouth roared in disbelief.

However, for Lin Tian’s explanation, Luffy was very convinced. He turned around and continuing fighting with Krieg.

Ellie, after solving the surrounding pirates, looked around and saw that all the pirates were under her gaze were no match for her, she retracted her sword and walked in the direction of Lin Tian.

It’s not that these pirates are timid. Ellie’s methods are somewhat influenced by Lin Tian. When treating the enemy ruthless, no fewer than ten pirates died in the battle just now.

Finally, under everyone’s gaze, the entire battlefield became the arena of Luffy and Krieg. After a battle of life and death, Luffy won without any change.

Krieg who was considered by all pirate to be ‘The Strongest Man in the World’, after his defeat, Luffy was considered crazy and strong as well!
