"Grimm condensed his hands, and a golden holy spear appeared in his grasp.
Swish!
The golden light streaked across the sky. Due to Grimm's attribute growth, the speed of the holy spear also increased. Drulcy saw this and immediately raised his sword to block.
However, the moment the spear touched the tip of his sword, he felt its extraordinary power. He quickly released his force, not daring to block it head-on, but instead deflected the spear upwards.
The instant Drulcy deflected the spear, he turned to look at Grimm, only to find that the latter had already arrived before him, his greatsword already swinging towards his chest.
So fast! An ordinary person couldn't possibly dodge such an attack.
"So fast!"
"That guy's strength completely matches his 700 million bounty. His power is immense!"
The other members of the Second Division exclaimed in awe, but they didn't show any worry, as their captain hadn't revealed his true strength yet.
Suddenly, there was a dull thud. Grimm felt his strength being obstructed by something. Focusing his gaze, he saw that under Drulcy's crotch, a sword had appeared out of nowhere, directly intercepting and blocking Grimm's sword. It was completely black and covered in Armament Haki.
Grimm saw clearly. This sword had emerged from a hidden space, something clearly beyond the capabilities of an ordinary person.
"Devil Fruit power!" Grimm couldn't help but speculate. If it were a space-type fruit, it would be too powerful. As the saying goes, without time, space reigns supreme!
Drulcy let out a soft cry, and suddenly countless Armament Haki blades emerged from his body, piercing Grimm like a sieve.
"I am a Storage-Storage Fruit ability user. I can store things within my body and completely control when and in what direction they appear! Covering them with Armament Haki is also no problem!"
"It's over, Grimm. A boring fight," Drulcy said, shaking his head and turning away.
He had faced countless sword-wielding opponents over the years, and they had all fallen before him. The swordsmen he couldn't defeat were only four: Shiki, who called himself the Flying Dragon; Kouzuki Oden, the former captain of Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division; and Roger, who was on par with Whitebeard, along with his first mate Rayleigh.
Others, he simply didn't take seriously.
Furthermore, those who hadn't heard of his Devil Fruit ability or combat techniques would surely fall victim to his tricks, no matter how strong they were.
"Thousand Blades" Drulcy, that was his title. Yes, it meant he could control a thousand swords simultaneously.
These swords were hidden within his body. In close combat, he would stab with Armament Haki-covered swords, creating a thousand transparent holes. Close combat with Drulcy meant such an outcome.
Swish!
Suddenly, a golden light flashed behind him. Drulcy felt a sense of danger. Grimm held a light hammer and swung it directly.
Even with Observation Haki, Drulcy's reaction was too slow. He couldn't dodge!
"He's still alive!"
This thought flashed through Drulcy's mind, but he quickly braced himself for defense.
Although he could cover himself with Armament Haki, Drulcy still used his ability to place an alloy shield in front of him, and then covered his body with Armament Haki.
Prepared for the worst, he wouldn't underestimate any opponent!
Bang!
The moment the shield blocked the hammer, Drulcy's eyes nearly bulged out. He subconsciously sighed: "What kind of power is this!"
Boom!
Drulcy's body was struck like lightning and sent flying violently. After a few seconds, he got up, coughing up a mouthful of blood. The shield in front of him fell off, and a bloody hole appeared in his abdomen.
"Captain!"
"Captain's defense has been breached, how is this possible?"
"That's the defense second only to Captain Jozu in the Whitebeard Pirates!"
The members of the Second Division were completely bewildered. They couldn't recall when Drulcy had last been injured. Even Jozu, captain of the Third Division and renowned for his unparalleled defense, acknowledged the captain's defense, yet he was made to spit blood by a hammer.
Grimm shook his head helplessly. Armament Haki couldn't block Holy Light unless the body itself was strong enough. After all: Divine damage ignores defense. As long as it hits, unless one is a tank, they will inevitably be injured.
"Your caution saved your life!" Grimm said nonchalantly, slinging his greatsword over his shoulder.
If the alloy shield hadn't weakened the flight speed of the divine light "Judgment" just now, the opponent might have been half-dead.
"Cough cough!" After coughing a couple of times, Drulcy got up and looked at Grimm, whose body was covered in wounds but was now restored to its original state: "I clearly pierced all the vital points of your body, what kind of ability user are you?"
"I believe in the Holy Light, and the Holy Light grants me eternal life. Child, be my grandson, and I will teach you to believe in the Holy Light!" Grimm said with a light laugh.
"Bastard!" Drulcy gritted his teeth, realizing this guy wasn't just difficult to deal with; his abilities were too bizarre. He had just pierced the man's heart and head, even his entire body had rotted, yet he didn't die. What kind of demon or monster was this?
Could it be that it was a substitute just now? Or an illusion?
In that case, he would just chop him into mincemeat.
Without time to think further, Drulcy wanted to end the fight quickly. He never held back his trump cards in a fight!
Buzz!
A metallic humming sound suddenly rang out.
Swish swish swish!
Numerous sharp swords left Drulcy's body and floated into the air. Then Drulcy roared: "Haaah~"
And then, a sky-covering long sword appeared!
This was the true "Thousand Blades," a thousand sharp blades, like an endless sea of swords. Combined with Armament Haki, it became an extremely terrifying killing move.
"It's here! The captain's signature killing move!"
"With this move, even a Navy Vice Admiral has to retreat!"
Seeing Drulcy unleash this move, the members of the Second Division began to exclaim with excitement.
Swish swish swish!
Then, almost simultaneously, Drulcy waved his hand, and a thousand Armament Haki blades flew directly towards Grimm.
"Myriad Swords Return to Origin?" Grimm looked at the sky full of blades and, to be honest, was somewhat shocked. But he didn't dodge.
Not dodging?
However, what was even more surprising was yet to come. Grimm didn't dodge or evade; he walked forward slowly, seemingly enduring all of Drulcy's attacks, unfazed by the countless blades piercing his body.
"A monster! A monster!"
The crowd, who had been excited by Drulcy's ultimate move, was now stunned into silence by Grimm's actions.
Countless blades pierced Grimm's body. Before he could even pull them out, new blades were already stabbing in, pushing out the ones already lodged in his body!
Blood splattered all over the ground. Even just watching it made it feel incredibly painful.
