Jay calmly and keenly observed his opponent's movements, his nunchaku whirling in an impenetrable flurry.
With each precise swing and strike, he successfully blocked Daz Bonis' attacks with pinpoint accuracy.
Additionally, under the effect of Innate Super Strength, Jay's strikes carried immense force.
The solid steel nunchaku, combined with his sheer power, unleashed astonishing destructive capability!
With just a light sweep, he could shatter an entire wall!
Even though Daz Bonis' body was as hard as steel, under such relentless blows, his expression darkened.
This was like using a blade to continuously hack at a solid iron pillar.
Even if it could leave some marks, the more likely result was the blade shattering!
"When did such a troublesome guy appear in the West Blue's Marine?"
Daz Bonis decided to go all out.
He transformed his fingers into blades, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and then slashed forward in an "X" shape.
Microscopic Dust Slash!
Jay's eyes sharpened. Without hesitation, he punched through the ground, dropping himself to the lower level.
In the next instant, the long table and the walls behind him were sliced into countless tiny cubes.
Between chasing his target and eliminating this troublesome Marine, Daz Bonis only hesitated for a second before choosing to complete his mission first.
Even though he was a user of the Dice-Dice Fruit, capable of turning any part of his body into blades, he never considered himself a swordsman, he was an assassin.
An assassin's priority was always to eliminate the target and complete the mission.
However, someone clearly didn't want to let him have his way.
Boom!
The ground beneath Daz Bonis exploded as Jay leaped back up, swinging his nunchaku with a fierce gust of wind.
Clang!
Daz Bonis crossed his arms in front of him, bracing himself on blade-covered feet like he was wearing ice skates. He skidded backward, carving two deep grooves into the ground.
"You're in such a hurry to leave? We're not done yet!"
Jay spun his nunchaku in a flashy display before tucking one end under his armpit, striking a combat stance.
Honestly, despite training for a while, this was his first time using them in a real fight.
Without a weapon, fighting this guy would be a nightmare.
"If you're so eager to die, I'll kill you first."
Daz Bonis' eyes turned murderous. He knew that unless he took down this Marine, he wouldn't be able to complete his mission.
So be it.
Microscopic Dust Rapid Blades!
Like an ice skater, Daz Bonis slid forward, rapidly closing the distance while his blade-covered hands aimed for Jay's vital spots in a relentless flurry of attacks.
His attack speed skyrocketed, and by utilizing every part of his body, Jay found it impossible to block everything with just one nunchaku.
His clothes were sliced open in several places, revealing bloody wounds beneath.
"Die!"
Spiral Sever!
His bladed arms spun at high speed like a meat grinder, aiming to shred Jay completely.
But then
With a violent clash, the rapidly spinning blades were suddenly stopped by Jay's nunchaku.
However, his weapon was now trapped.
Without a weapon, how could he continue fighting?
Daz Bonis remained expressionless as he reached out with his other bladed hand, aiming for Jay's throat.
To him, the fight was over.
But it wasn't!
Jay's free hand suddenly reached behind his waist and pulled out another nunchaku identical to the first.
As the saying goes: With nunchaku in hand, the world is mine!p
At the same time
"Demon's Back, Open!"
Jay's shirt ripped apart, and the muscles on his back shifted, forming the face of a terrifying demon.
In that moment, he unleashed his full power.
Muscles with eight times their normal density kicked into overdrive!
Clang!
Daz Bonis' bladed claw was deflected instantly.
With a surge of force, Jay yanked his other nunchaku free.
Smack!
Daz Bonis took a vicious hit to the left side of his face.
Smack!
Another hit landed on the right.
The consecutive heavy strikes left him momentarily stunned.
Sure, his organs might be as hard as steel, but his brain wasn't invincible.
For an ordinary person, those strikes would've shattered their skull.
Seizing the opportunity, Jay gripped both nunchaku tightly and began swinging relentlessly!
Each hit landed squarely on Daz Bonis' face and head.
Hard as steel?
Doesn't matter. Even steel deforms when beaten hard enough.
Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!
At last, blood splattered into the air.
Daz Bonis gritted his teeth, stabilizing his stance and smashing his fists together.
"Blade Harden!"
When he used this move, his body's hardness increased once more.
The drawback? He couldn't move freely while using it.
Jay immediately noticed that the impact force against his nunchaku was getting stronger.
If not for his monstrous strength, he would've lost his grip on his weapons.
"Stay down!"
Jay struck Daz Bonis near the temple, then smashed his chin, and finally leaped high into the air before slamming his nunchaku onto the back of his head!
Daz Bonis collapsed.
Jay stood over him, his body steaming as his energy drained rapidly.
But inside, he felt incredible.
No one at the base had ever given him even a sliver of pressure, let alone forced him to go all out.
It wasn't until today, facing Daz Bonis, that he truly recognized his own strength.
Without realizing it, he had become this powerful.
Splat! Bonis burst forward from the ground, his right arm transforming into a blade and stabbing straight into Jay's chest!
But then
A shocking sight unfolded.
The razor-sharp blade didn't pierce through Jay's body.
Instead, his muscles clenched, trapping the blade in place!
"Assassin-san... are you done yet?"
Jay's calm tone was the ultimate humiliation.
The next second, both of Jay's nunchaku wrapped around Daz Bonis' right arm as his muscles bulged once more.
With a mighty twist
CRACK!
Even steel-like blades could break.
Daz Bonis clenched his teeth, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
But he refused to scream.
Instead, he only let out a low grunt and even managed to prepare a counterattack.
That, at least, was worthy of some respect.
"Come on! Kill me!"
Jay and Daz Bonis clashed for the final time.
Blades slashed flesh.
Nunchaku shattered bones.
Only one would remain standing.
