Chapter 43: Egyptian God Twins Part 2
“This is!”
Amid Brother Burufaruto’s dumbfounded expression, Aoxi called out the technique name.
“Hehe! Egyptian God Cards Karate—Gui Wa Zheng Quan!”
The exact same technique that Brother Burufaruto had just used erupted from Aoxi’s fist, and its power was even greater than his.
“Scale Skin!”
Brother Burufaruto hurriedly unleashed his strongest defensive technique, crossing his arms with powerful Armament Haki covering them.
“Hah!”
The next instant, a fist streaked with red and golden lightning patterns smashed into the pitch-black arms from afar, producing the sound of metal clashing!
The energy clash at the point of impact directly generated astonishingly powerful lightning, and the resulting shockwave even blew away some nearby Pirates who were still watching the battle.
That day, the townspeople once again recalled the fear of being dominated by an earthquake.
“It’s over, it’s over! Daughter, we really can’t stay in this place anymore. Let’s pack up and head back to the West Sea.”
The owner of Syracuse Restaurant, Saluzzo, couldn’t care less about the orange he had subconsciously crushed in his hand, and hurriedly shouted toward the kitchen.
“No, I’m not going back. That dump in the West Sea has no one who appreciates my cooking.”
The young Miss Lapp did not agree with her father’s suggestion.
“This place is better. Now every day someone orders my pineapple pizza. And I’ve had some new inspiration lately…”
“But this place… earthquakes…”
“Even if the island sinks, I’m not going back.”
“Sigh~ Fine, fine! Whatever makes you happy!”
……
“Brat, when did you learn Fish-Man Karate?!”
Brother Burufaruto, struggling to defend against Aoxi’s attacks, spoke with difficulty.
He stared at the red figure right in front of him, feeling as if the Haki on her small fist was endless.
“Do you even need to learn a kiddie technique like this? Can’t you just get it after seeing it once?”
Aoxi’s face was full of a reckless grin.
Though she exaggerated, the power exertion techniques of Fish-Man Karate straight punches were all very similar. After watching the opponent demonstrate it so many times, Aoxi had already learned it pretty well.
“You’re giving me surprise after surprise, brat!”
“Don’t rush to share your thoughts yet. There’s more coming!”
As she spoke, a vortex of airflow suddenly began swirling on Aoxi’s fist, which had been locked against Brother Burufaruto’s arm. The crimson Haki, wrapped in a fierce cyclone like a drill, gradually broke through the opponent’s defense bit by bit.
“Hah! Heaven Origin Breakthrough—Crimson Lotus Spiral Fang!!!”
“Wha—”
Faced with this sudden second impact, Brother Burufaruto finally couldn’t hold on. His whole body was pushed sliding backward, and the Haki on his arms showed signs of collapsing.
“Kekekekeke! Is that all you got, Minotaur Uncle? What a small fry, small fry~”
Having gained the upper hand, Aoxi couldn’t help but switch into brat taunt mode—one part to disrupt the opponent, and the other to get revenge for being knocked flying earlier.
“Damn it! I can’t lose to a brat like you!”
With no way to retreat while being suppressed, Brother Burufaruto steeled his resolve and stopped caring about pulling his punches.
Suddenly, he jerked his head back sharply, while his forehead rapidly covered itself in pitch-black Armament Haki.
“Hah! Fish-Man Karate Secret Technique—Sea God Hammer!!!”
“Hm—?”
In Aoxi’s eyes, Brother Burufaruto’s ox-horned head suddenly zoomed in at extreme speed. Completely caught off guard by this move, Aoxi was struck by Brother Burufaruto’s headbutt that produced a sonic boom, sending her flying horizontally almost parallel to the ground toward Boss Kaido and the others watching from afar.
“Aoxi got careless.”
She extended her hands gently to catch Aoxi. No one knew what technique she used, but Aoxi, who was moving faster than a cannonball, landed lightly in her arms, the impact merely lifting a strand of Lapp’s golden hair.
“Hmph~ This girl gets cocky and careless the moment she gains the upper hand.” Obei crossed her arms, glancing at Aoxi in Lapp’s arms as she spoke.
“The gap in experience is also a major factor.
Brother Burufaruto’s battle experience far surpasses Aoxi’s. If her strength hadn’t repeatedly caught him off guard and unprepared, he probably would have won even more easily.”
Lapp looked down at Aoxi in her arms. Her eyes were swirling, clearly having passed out.
Brother Burufaruto shook his somewhat numb arms and shouted over: “How is she? That brat’s okay, right?”
“She’s fine, just fainted.” Boss Kaido glanced at Aoxi, then laughed heartily: “Uro-ro-ro-ro! Well fought, Brother Burufaruto.”
“Aw~ Boss Kaido, don’t tease me! If not for some good luck today, I might’ve really gone down to that brat. What an incredible little monster~”
“Alright, come over and rest first!” Boss Kaido pointed to the spot next to him.
“Oh! Brother Burufaruto won!” The surrounding Pirates, hearing Boss Kaido declare the victor, couldn’t hold back their excitement anymore.
“What an amazing battle! Even dying after seeing such a spectacular fight would be worth the ticket price!”
“That red-haired brat is pretty strong too, to push Brother Burufaruto into such a tough fight.”
“Yeah, what exactly is the deal with these three brats that Boss Kaido brought back?”
……
“Next up, it’s you two. Don’t disappoint me.” Boss Kaido signaled that the following match should begin.
“Leave it to me, Mr. Kaido.” Ember glanced at Obei, then stepped into the field.
At this time, Obei also shifted her gaze from Aoxi, staring into Ember’s exposed eyes as she said: “Don’t think I’ll get careless like that idiot. Mask bastard.”
“I don’t need to rely on my opponent’s carelessness to win.”
Ember, arriving at the center of the training ground, directly drew the long sword from his waist, while the flames on his back began to swell fiercely.
“Ho~ Going all out right from the start, huh, that guy Ember.”
Seeing Ember like this, Boss Kaido grew even more anticipatory of this battle.
And Ember’s entrance made the already heated atmosphere from the previous fight boil over once more!
Amid the cheers mixed with disbelief, the surrounding Pirates erupted with unimaginable passion.
In the Beasts Pirates, this martial prowess supremacist group, nothing stirs up emotions like battle.
“Oh!!!!”
“It’s Brother Ember?! Brother Ember’s fighting too?!”
“No way! Two Executives getting challenged on the same day!”
“Haha! Now dying would really be worth the ticket price!”
“Who’s the opponent? Don’t tell me it’s…”
“Exactly, that blue-haired brat! After the sister challenged an Executive, now the little sister is stepping up?”
“Gulp… You… you think Boss Kaido might fight later?” One Pirate thought of a possibility and swallowed hard.
“N-No way… Boss Kaido’s strength isn’t on the same level as the Executives. If he steps in, they’d probably not last a club.
“What if it’s that Lapp?” One Pirate thought of that golden figure.
At these words, the Pirates around him all fell silent.
Seeing no one else speaking, that Pirate continued: “You can all sense it too, right? That golden-haired girl with the noble-like aura.
She’s always seemed fragile, never even cursed at anyone, but I completely dare not entertain the thought of fighting her.”
“Yeah, it’s like the moment you make a move, you’ll vanish from this world. My body is instinctively refusing to be her enemy.” A nearby Pirate chimed in.
“And that red-haired brat, with such strong power, acts like a kitten in front of her.”
…………
Amid the Pirates’ discussions, Obei and Ember’s battle had quietly begun.
