One Piece: Alucard the Immortal

Chapter 53: Both Are Monsters



Everyone looked closely.

About fifty to sixty meters away, a severed hand was holding the black gun, faint white smoke curling from its muzzle.

Roger had already drawn his sword, blocking the bullet and preventing Rayleigh from being hit in the back of the head.

"What?" Rayleigh questioned, turning to see the severed hand in the distance. A solitary left hand, holding a gun, floated in mid-air, a truly bizarre sight.

Before anyone could fully grasp the situation, the body that Rayleigh had chopped into pieces on the ground began to tremble. Each piece of flesh transformed into shadowy bats. Countless bats gathered, connecting with the gun-wielding left hand, gradually forming a human shape.

"Oh... to be able to block an attack from Jackal directly, without even taking a step back... you're the first to do something like that," Alucard grinned, fully regenerated.

"Aaah!!! I've had enough!" Buggy shouted, clutching his head and jumping around. "This guy just won't die, no matter how many times you kill him!!"

Buggy's reaction was completely normal.

Being pierced in the face, having his body shattered—that was one thing.

But to revive after being sliced into countless pieces of flesh? What the hell?! How were they supposed to fight this? It was impossible!

"I've never seen an ability like this before, it's amazing," Shanks, however, looked incredibly enthusiastic, more interested in Alucard's demonstrated abilities.

Buggy smacked Shanks on the head from behind, fuming, "What are you admiring, you idiot? Is this really the time to be admiring him?!"

Roger dislodged the Jackal bullet, examining it in his hand. He suddenly chuckled, "Heh! Pretty unique!"

"Immortal, huh... Ds are always troublemakers." Roger twirled the rapier in his hand, then spoke to Rayleigh with his back turned. "You were careless, partner."

Rayleigh spread his hands with a helpless expression. "Oh, my, my. Who would have thought someone could revive even in that situation? I couldn't help it."

"Go get treated! You're pretty badly hurt!" Roger said with a laugh.

Rayleigh didn't object, quickly walking back to the Roger Pirates. Crocus immediately began examining Rayleigh's injuries, and after a moment, he frowned. "This requires surgery. Rayleigh, let's go back to the ship. All the proper medical equipment is there."

"Crocus-san, is Rayleigh-san alright?" Buggy asked anxiously.

"Relax, kid, I'm not that easy to kill!" Rayleigh laughed loudly, then looked back at Roger, who was confronting Alucard in the distance. "The real key is Roger over there. When Roger gets serious, he's terrifying."

"The Pirate King, huh? What an unexpected challenge," Alucard muttered to himself, facing the somewhat disheveled man before him.

"Pirate King? I haven't earned that title yet," Roger suddenly replied, startling Alucard. Alucard had spoken so softly just now that even he himself could barely hear it, yet Roger, who was so far away, had clearly heard him?

"No need to be surprised by that, is there?" Roger said with a smile.

BANG!

Jackal fired again. A single shot, powerful enough to easily pierce a battleship, flew towards Roger. Facing the bullet, Roger drew his sword, unleashing his unparalleled, formidable Haki.

WHOOSH!

Suddenly, Roger vanished from his spot. Just as Alucard was about to use Thermal Vision to locate him, he felt a chilling presence from behind. He quickly manipulated Hidden Shadow to form shadow hands and attack.

"Still not enough!"

Roger's sword, imbued with Armament Haki, instantly pierced through the blocking shadow hands and then Alucard's body.

Suddenly, Roger's expression shifted, as he found his sword wouldn't pull out. Looking directly, he saw Alucard gripping the cutlass tightly with one hand. Despite the sharp blade cutting his palm, making it bleed profusely, Alucard remained unmoving, even a maniacal grin spreading across his face.

"Take this, Pirate King!" Alucard laughed wildly, allowing the sharp blade to cut horizontally through the entire right side of his body. He aimed Casull at Roger's head and fired!

BANG!

Two seconds later, the sight before Alucard made his pupils contract.

Roger had bitten the bullet! This guy! It was Alucard's signature move, yet he could do it too!

SPIT!

Roger spat the bullet aside. With a mighty pull, he extracted the sword from Alucard's body, sending blood gushing out. However, the very next second, Roger saw Alucard's wound healing!

'Alucard the Immortal! Nozdon was indeed right.'

BANG BANG BANG BANG!

Bullets flew in rapid succession, but Roger simply swung his cutlass, deflecting all of them. He even counterattacked, sending all the bullets back, striking Alucard!

The bullets embedding themselves in Alucard's body instantly worsened his injuries, but then, he regenerated again!

"Hehehehe..."

Seeing Alucard suddenly laugh, Roger couldn't help but look at him curiously, asking, "What's so amusing?"

"It's too entertaining..." Alucard's head hung low, his hair obscuring most of his face. His chilling laughter, however, conveyed boundless ecstasy. "This is incredible, so entertaining. To think there's another monster like you in this world..."

"You're the monster, kid..." Roger chuckled.

No, they were both monsters!
