Vampire in One Piece

Chapter 14 The Attention of Senior Executives

Flashes of crimson light streaked across the sky,

It appeared as though the sky were adorned with bloody slashes, originating from the fleeting images.

Proceed directly towards Garp in the middle!

Garp, positioned at the focal point of the assault, perceived the incoming strikes from all directions via his acute vision and offered a slight smile.

His body performed agile maneuvers while his fists moved swiftly in a rhythmic fashion, resembling the fleeting shadow of a black dragon.

Ding-ding-ding-ding——

Incredibly, he managed to intercept all the blows with his fists.

Astonishment!

Some of the navy personnel present were novices, having never witnessed such a display of elite warriors engaging in combat.

Everyone stood in shock, rendered speechless.

The individuals most astonished were undoubtedly the other nine who had come to our headquarters for training.

"Is this true? "

"Such strength? "

"A single strike from there could be lethal! "

"How could this be? The disparity is immense——"

They were either filled with envy or jealousy. However, one individual stood apart from the rest!

"Truly deserving of my admiration! He can engage in such combat with the formidable naval hero Garp! "

Indeed, this individual was Salo.

Since Bruch revealed his ancient animal devil fruit, Salo had consistently declared Bruch to be his idol.

Kiora, observing Salo's profound admiration for Bruh, rolled his eyes.

Though he too respected Bruch, he regarded him more as a benchmark to be exceeded.

I can't shake the feeling that he is quite infatuated with Bruch's transformation, hmmmm?

Upon considering this,

Hiss~

Kiora shuddered and refrained from exploring the thought any further.

Her gaze swiftly returned to the two combatants who were still engaged in battle.

The intensity of the confrontation had escalated dramatically~

Garp, who had initially adopted a fully defensive stance, had somehow transitioned to an offensive approach.

Moonstep~

bang bang bang~~~

He was continuously altering his position mid-air.

In contrast, Bruch's figure moved like a shadow of blood, weaving to avoid attacks.

When evasion was impossible, Garp landed a punch on Bruch.

"Hahaha! Boy, experience the iron fist of love "

The unarmed fist struck Bruch on the head.

Instantly, a bulge the size of a baby's fist appeared.

It is noteworthy that Bruch's vampiric physique possesses a recuperative ability on par with that of the animal type.

"How does it feel? This is my iron fist infused with the essence of love! "

Bruch covered his head, his once purple eyes became increasingly red due to congestion.

Tears shimmered in his eyes.

The pain coursing through his head rendered him incapable of controlling the tears.

This infuriated him.

If his peers witnessed this, wouldn't they mock him?

In a surge of rage,

Bruch unleashed his ultimate technique.

Bang~

Bruch flapped his wings, and the mist of blood continued to emanate from his figure.

His entire person gradually transformed into a massive silhouette of blood.

The form of the Blood Angel

Just Sixty Seconds

The Blood Angel stood nearly five meters in height, possessing an elfin visage and a body enveloped in blood mist, resembling a demon.

At this moment, he felt an overwhelming surge of strength.

In his right hand, the Sandai Kitetsu was cloaked in blood, extending into a sword that measured almost three meters in length.

Bruch gazed at the Kitetsu in his right hand.

He shook his head.

This represents the lone drawback of the Blood Angel form. As it enlarges, the sword effectively becomes akin to a small dagger, delivering minimal damage.

Despite being shrouded in blood energy to a height of about three meters, it ultimately signifies that he is no longer wielding the Sandai Kitetsu.

It is his own blood energy.

The lethality is diminished by half.

Nonetheless, it is inconsequential, for the Blood Angel form itself possesses strength several times greater than that of the Vampire form.

Now, it is time for Garp to experience the consequences.

"Vice Admiral Garp~"

"Feel the pain! ! ! "

Bruch bellowed, and like a bolt of bloody lightning, he surged toward Garp's side.

"Oh? A new form? Is this transformation due to the ancient species? "

Garp observed with a sigh, then displayed enthusiasm.

Bruch aimed to unleash all his strength.

He thrust out a kick,

Which was thwarted by Garp.

He attempted a cutting strike.

Which Garp evaded.

The sound of the air being sliced rang out, as the blade moved with the speed characteristic of the Blood Angel form.

The noise of the air being cleaved incessantly echoed.

The sand and debris on the ground were shattered by the force of this blade.

——————

"Is this Bruch from North blue Branch 52? "

A tall naval officer with curly hair and round spectacles inquired.

To his left stood an elderly woman with white hair and blue glasses.

On his right was Bruch's former acquaintance, Admiral Aokiji.

He expressed astonishment. The normally lethargic individual wore a look of shock.

"Indeed, Fleet Admiral Sengoku ,this is Bruch from Branch 52. I did not anticipate that his strength had escalated to this level. "

Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the highest authority within the navy, is referred to as the Buddha.

"Tsuru, what is your perspective on this? "

The elderly woman on his left was none other than the naval vice-admiral's staff officer, Tsuru.

She possesses the ability wash wash fruit.

"The strength displayed is formidable, but the character remains to be assessed. However, the intelligence indicates he is a child originating from the devastated Banana Town, hence…"

"Another Akainu? "

Sengoku seemed aware of what she was about to conclude and interjected directly.

Crane nodded slightly, then shook her head.

"Not necessarily. Based on the files, he hold great respect for his superiors and care deeply for his colleagues, yet he will not tolerate the actions of malevolent pirates. Do you recall Bellamy the Hyena? "

"Yes, I do?"

"He do not show mercy to the pirates. It may seem ruthless, but it was justifiable "

Sengoku observed Bruch, who continued to engage in combat. After reflecting for a moment, he remarked:

"Allow him to serve under Garp. I wish to avoid the emergence of another Akainu within the Navy. "

Upon hearing those final words, Aokiji raised his eyebrows slightly but remained silent, simply watching Bruch from afar.

"I hope so."

For naval personnel, capturing pirates and bringing them to Impel Down is a duty, with lethal force being a last option.

However, Akainu's approach differs; he is excessively aggressive.

He resorts to killing any pirate he encounters, indifferent to their background, whether good or bad.

Numerous subordinates have disregarded orders and perished as a result.

This represents the Navy according to military directives, but it does not align with the practical reality.

He and others were understandably opposed to the emergence of another Navy like Akainu.

Especially one with such potential.

Were Bruch aware of their thoughts, he would assuredly assert that they were overanalyzing the situation.

He would never emulate Akainu.

"Hahahaha! Experience my iron fist of love! "

BOOOM—!

Following a thunderous noise.

In the sky, Bruch transformed into a crimson streak as if altering his form.

He was struck into the sea.

After a brief moment of silence,

Salo exclaimed: "My Idol! "

He promptly leaped into the water.

They had not forgotten that Bruch possessed a devil fruit ability.

"Sorry, I became so caught up in the battle that I overlooked the fact that you are a devil fruit user," Garp muttered to himself.
