Chapter 345: Reiner: Just a Tiny Bit Off
Bang!!
Bang!!
With two loud bangs, the surrounding walls of the quarry were violently pierced, creating two holes and sending a shower of dust and rubble flying.
"What's the situation!"
"Are there more enemies?!"
The pirates and samurai in the quarry all looked over in a panic.
They saw two pathetic figures lying on the ground, clearly the perpetrators of this commotion.
Compared to the wary expressions of the samurai, some among the pirates quickly recognized the identity of these two.
"No, that's!"
"Trafalgar Law! And Captain Kid!"
"Why are they here?!"
"Look outside, there are more people!"
A pirate shouted and pointed outside the hole. The dust and smoke gradually dissipated, and the group could vaguely see a silhouette.
Shouldering a single-edged giant axe, his back to the wilderness, he walked in with a leisurely stroll under the night sky.
Compared to the pathetic figures of Law and Kid, the other's clothes were only slightly dirty. It was clear that he had easily put the two of them in a difficult situation.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop messing around. This level doesn't even count as a warm-up."
Reiner passed through the gap under the wall and stepped into the quarry, his expression teasing:
"You don't really think you can defeat me with just this little skill, do you? If you really can't, you might as well wash your hands of this and go back to retire."
"This bastard!"
Kid propped himself up with his mechanical arm, gritting his teeth as he glared over.
"I really want to tear his mouth apart!"
"Ah. I feel the same way about that."
Law's face was grim as he expressed his deep empathy.
If you want to fight, then fight. Why does this person have to keep trash-talking?
And the worst part is, they can't even beat him. It's even more frustrating.
"Tch!"
Kid sneered fiercely, raised his hand and aimed at Reiner, a purple electric spark flashing in his palm.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Drawn by the magnetic force, all the metal objects in the quarry, including the weapons of the surrounding people, began to vibrate violently.
The next moment.
The weapons flew out of the hands of the pirates and samurai.
A portion shot towards Reiner from all directions, while another portion flew into Kid's hand, quickly assembling into a thick mechanical arm.
"Still so stubborn. Haven't you tried this useless move many times?"
Reiner covered his entire body with Armament Haki, in the blink of an eye turning into a pitch-black human-shaped piece of steel, letting the swords and halberds strike his body.
A continuous clanging sound was heard. The swords and sabers couldn't even pierce his skin upon impact, and were instead sent flying back, bent out of shape.
If these weapons were not covered in Haki, mere swords and sabers had absolutely no chance of breaking through Reiner's Armament Haki.
"Useless? I don't think so."
A corner of Kid's mouth lifted into a sneer. His five fingers bent, and he made a grasping motion with his palm towards Reiner!
"Jiki: Rō!!" (Magnetism: Cage!!)
Crack—crack—crack!
The fallen weapons quickly floated up under the control of the magnetic force, and then continuously deformed and reassembled around Reiner.
Soon.
A perfectly square steel cube was formed, trapping Reiner within and suspending him in mid-air.
"Do it!!"
Kid shouted at Law, at the same time leaping high with his giant mechanical arm.
Law had just prepared to make a move...
Bang!!
With a thunderous bang, the seamlessly sealed steel cube exploded with a roar, and a large amount of scrap iron shot out!
"That was too fast! This thing didn't have any effect at all!"
Law couldn't help but curse loudly. Then he frowned and, seeing Reiner's figure falling from the sky, drew his sword and charged up.
"Shut up! You're the one who was too slow!"
In the air, Kid shouted with dissatisfaction, pushing the giant fist made of a flood of steel as he smashed down.
"Jiki: Gen!!" (Magnetism: String!!)
"Is this ability in your hands just for playing with scrap metal?"
Reiner said mockingly, grabbing his giant axe with one hand and swinging it fiercely.
Bang!!
The moment the axe blade and the giant fist collided, the power of the tremor erupted!
One crack after another appeared on the giant mechanical arm, and electric sparks sizzled and flashed.
Boom!!
The violent impact tore through the mechanical arm like splitting bamboo. Scrap iron flew, and the aftershock of the impact sent Kid's entire person flying.
Just at this moment.
Law, dragging his longsword, came running at high speed, a circle of air swirling from his palm.
"Room!"
A semi-circular field of his ability rapidly spread out from Law as the center, covering the entire surrounding space.
A corner of Reiner's mouth lifted slightly. A white aura enveloped his axe blade, and the power of vibration was contained within it. He swung the giant axe in a wide, horizontal arc with one hand.
Bang!!
A dull thunderous sound was heard in the air, and then the space in front cracked like a mirror with a 'crackling' sound.
Swish!
Law's figure instantly disappeared from his spot.
The earth in the quarry, along with all the buildings, collapsed with a roar. The power of the tremor raged unceasingly.
Reiner didn't expect to catch Law easily with one move. This was just an attack to seal off his escape routes.
The moment the other's figure disappeared, Reiner directly turned around and, relying on the instantaneous perception of his Observation Haki, reached out to grab.
As expected, Law's figure had appeared in the air behind him.
However, just as he was about to grab the other...
Swish!
Law's figure disappeared again, replaced by a giant rock.
Reiner's gaze hardened, and his Observation Haki gave a strong warning!
He whipped his head around.
Law had actually returned to the space where the power of the tremor was raging!
Law endured the force that was almost crushing him, gritted his teeth, and stabbed his longsword at Reiner's chest!
At the nick of time, Reiner raised his giant axe horizontally to block, while at the same time subconsciously turning his body to the side.
Squelch!
The longsword pierced through the giant axe and into his arm. Not a single drop of blood flowed, nor was there any pain.
A look of triumph flashed in Law's eyes, and a green light shot out from his hand.
"Gamma Knife!!"
Crackle!
The gamma rays, which could easily kill cells, passed along the blade and into his arm. Reiner immediately activated his Haki to isolate the ability from spreading.
With a sharp pain, his entire arm went limp. The weapon fell from his hand and stabbed into the ground.
"This thing is dangerous."
Reiner sneered. He let the blade sink completely into his arm and, instead of retreating, advanced, sticking close to the shocked Law.
"Annihilating Rush Fist: Martial Pierce!!"
A pitch-black Haki covered his wrist, glowing with a dark light. The muscles in Reiner's chest bulged, and his other hand clenched into a fist and smashed down fiercely!
Bang!!
The explosive fist pierced Law's face. Blood and gore flew from his mouth, and his entire face, skin and all, was pushed to one side.
The impact that erupted from Reiner's fist also directly shook his brain. Law only felt a heavy pain in his temples, and his vision went black as he almost lost consciousness.
Swish~~
Bang!!
The immense force sent Law's body flying backward at high speed. After crashing through several buildings, he smashed heavily into a cell.
The quarry suddenly fell into a dead silence.
On the surrounding stone steps, the samurai and pirates had long since stopped fighting and had hidden themselves.
Gulp~
The crowd swallowed hard, all of them looking with lingering fear at Reiner, who was the only one still standing in the field.
"T-too... too brutal."
"That's a Supernova from the Worst Generation."
"One punch each..."
Hiss—!
Reiner pulled out the longsword that was stuck in his arm and casually stabbed it into the ground. He tried to move it a little, and his hand slowly began to regain its feeling.
Fortunately, it was my hand that was stabbed. And I also timely used my Haki to isolate the spread of his ability. Otherwise, just now, I almost would have...
...had to summon a dozen undead to gang up on Law.
