Vampire in One Piece

Chapter 13: Chapter 13



Chapter 13 The battle continues

"Blood Blade"

A slender black-red line darted by, and the atmosphere became still.

Only a faint tingling noise was audible.

Suddenly, it appeared as if the earth and sky were divided by a line of blood!

"Split it! "

"He truly divided the ground! "

A fissure as deep as a gorge manifested on the surface, extending over ten meters behind Garp!

Upon observing Garp again, he remained completely still! He endured it!

Aside from the garments that were slashed by the sword slash, there were no visible wounds!

Garp discarded the damaged fabric.

He grinned and remarked, "Indeed, the force of this strike is impressive; it has shredded my clothes."

Bruch muttered a curse under his breath: "Is the Iron Body truly Garp's signature technique? "

He then addressed Garp, stating, "Stop joking around! Can you be serious? As you can see I'm fighting seriously! "

Garp twisted his arm with a grin

"Alright then "

As soon as these words were uttered, Garp's silhouette resembled a black shadow, dashing towards Bruch at incredible speed!

"So fast! "

Bruch exclaimed, lacking the time to evade!

Dynamic vision!

Ching~

His eyes instantly turned purple.

With dynamic vision activated, although Garp's trajectory was still exceedingly quick, it was now discernible.

Bruch stumbled to avoid, simultaneously positioning Sanda Kitetsu across his chest!

BOOOOOOM—!!!

DING-!

Following a loud impact, Bruch was sent tumbling by Garp's punch and soared through the air.

Swissh—

Like a bowling ball, he rolled repeatedly until colliding with a massive stone.

BAH—!

He lifted his head, shaking it slightly in confusion.

He steadied himself with Sandai kitetsu and gazed at Garp.

He observed that Garp still remained in a hitting pose with his right fist outstretched.

Then, he slowly retracted it.

The pupils of the surrounding navy contracted in unison!

Bruch experienced the same reaction.

He had been propelled hundreds of meters away.

Despite being struck that far, he recognized that Garp hadn't exerted even a third of his might.

"What a monster! "

Bruch spat, blood mist swirling around him.

The bleeding wound formed scabs almost instantly, ultimately vanishing.

Upon witnessing this, Garp exclaimed, "He is indeed a user of an animal devil fruit; his regenerative ability is extraordinary"

Swish—

He then lunged forward once more.

"Haha. Now I can enjoy myself. "

Bruch's pupils contracted!

He concentrated his blood energy on his shoulder blades

With a soft pop!

Two vampire wings, inscribed with runes, unfolded.

Bruch flapped his wings and leaped up, creating a rapid black shadow that surged towards the sky.

Garp struck the boulder where Bruch had been.

BAANG—! ! !

Wow!

The four-meter-high boulder shattered into fragments from Garp's blow.

He gazed upward at Bruch, who had already ascended into the sky.

"Amazing fruit."

Garp commended.

"But, that is where it ends! "

Garp leaped, propelled himself into the air, and swiftly confronted Bruch mid-flight.

Moon Step!

Blood energy surged within Bruh's physique, causing his transformation into a vampire.

His ears elongated,

The crimson hue of his eyes shifted to purple.

His previously unblemished, pale complexion became adorned with gruesome blood runes.

His once dark hair ignited into a vibrant red,

As his joints swelled, his stature reached nearly three meters tall.

Vampire form

This represented his true nature, rendering him more than double the strength of his human state.

Although the rate of growth is significantly inferior to that of the Blood Angel, this transformation can be sustained indefinitely.

In comparison, Blood Angels are known for their explosive characteristics, while this condition is more stable.

Observing Bruch, who radiated an allure similar to that of a charming neighbor.

After adopting such a sinister appearance, Garp experienced an unsettling sensation.

If he retains his good looks post-transformation, that would be unbearable.

Garp rolled up his nonexistent sleeves and delivered a punch to Bruch's face.

Bruch noticed Garp's approach.

He chose not to evade or dodge.

The mist from his right hand surged like torrents of blood, enveloping Sandai Kitetsu

Bruch unleashed Sandai Kitetsu with blood cascading downward!

Bloody explosion!

BOOM—!!

Garp's fist collided with Bruch's bloody blade.

A massive wave of air erupted from the impact.

Garp's fist tightened slightly at that moment.

A resounding crack echoed.

Bruch's blood sword detonated!

It burst into a large sphere of blood mist!

The shockwave from the explosion sent sand and debris from the trembling ground flying in all directions.

Spectators shielded their eyes to avoid the flying grit.

"So powerful—"

At this instant, this thought crossed the minds of every naval officer.

This Bruch can actually contend with Vice Admiral Garp to such a degree—

It is truly astonishing.

At that moment, the aerial combat scene shifted dramatically.

Garp was compelled to retreat by Bruch's Blood Explosion Technique.

Nevertheless, his skin was splattered with droplets of blood!

Sizzle!

A sound reminiscent of sizzling flesh resonated as the blood that struck Garp's body began to burn, causing a layer of skin to peel away.

A bit of flesh and blood lay exposed

I was careless.

Garp mused internally.

I did not anticipate the peculiarity of this brat's ability.

Had he employed Haki to defend just moments before, he would have evaded injury from such a trivial maneuver.

"Truly impressive! Your abilities are interesting. "

Garp called out to Bruch.

"But—"

"I will now take this seriously! "

Garp's voice lowered gradually.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

The sound of slicing through the air at incredible speeds resonated, as Garp's entire form moved continuously through the air.

Creating a series of black shadows, he rapidly advanced towards Bruch.

Bruch activated his dynamic vision but was only able to perceive afterimages.

It is not that his skills are lacking; rather, Garp possesses overwhelming strength.

Out of nowhere, Bruch experienced a dull ache in his chest.

With no time to deliberate, he lifted Sandai Kitetsu in his grasp and struck forward.

"Blood Blade!"

A surge of crimson light emerged, revealing Garp's figure less than one meter from Bruch.

DING—!

The sharp sound of metal colliding resonated.

Garp's right arm glimmered with a dark sheen.

He successfully intercepted Bruch's strike!

Armament Haki—

"Heh, I have actually compelled Vice Admiral Garp to employ Armament Haki! "

Hobison remarked.

"Blood Shadow Step! "

He understood that, given his current attacking capacity, inflicting harm on Garp who is employing Armament Haki would be unrealistic.

Thus, he resorted to summoning his full strength.

Blood Shadow Step, combined with the wings of the blood clan, sliced through the skies, creating blood-hued afterimages.

His speed intensified exponentially.

"I can't see him!??? "

"Too fast!?"

The nearby navy personnel exclaimed.

Garp, encircled by blood-colored afterimages, hovered in the air with a grave expression!

"Vice Admiral Garp, this is a technique I recently acquired; I hope you enjoy—"

"Blood Blade: Array Prison Kill! ! ! "
