Chapter 12

Then, Ron looked at Lawrence's body, remembered what he said, and fell into deep thought: "The Vinsmoke family..."

In the end, with a confident smile, Ron said to himself, "Then let them come. If they dare to come, I will make them pay the price!"

But Lawrence, already dead, couldn't hear these words. If Lawrence had heard Ron, he would surely call him arrogant! Of course, Ron had something to rely on. He didn't use his full strength in the Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer attack just now!

[Ding, the first time you kill a pirate with a bounty of 40 million Baileys, you will be rewarded with 200 achievement points!]

[Obtain the achievement of 'Evil Buster,' reward [Special Category] a random draw!]

The system's voice sounded.

'Um? Random draw? Special category? This appeared for the first time!!' Ron was surprised. He didn't expect the system to reward something other than achievement points.

A lottery for skills?

Moreover, a special category??

In Ron's guess, the special category should include the abilities of [Hollow] or [Quincy]. Behind the four branches of [Swordsmanship, Hand-to-Hand Combat, Flash Step, and Way of Destruction/Binding], skill icons could be seen but were not lit. And behind the [Special Category] branch, there was no skill icon; everything was blank.

That's why Ron guessed what might appear in [Special Category]. Immediately, he thought of other races in Bleach.

[Hollow] and [Quincy] naturally came to Ron's mind.

'Start the lottery.'

With a thought, Ron activated the icon. He didn't see any changes on the panel, but the next moment, an icon flashed in the [Special Class] branch.

Clicking on the [Special Class] branch to view, Ron saw the name of the skill at first sight—'Shunkō?'

Ron frowned. It was actually this skill!

[Shunkō]: Combining the fighting skills of Hakuda and Kidō, the user's back and shoulders will be wrapped in high-concentration compressed spiritual energy, and the energy will merge with their limbs to fight through explosive power!

This was the introduction of Ron's new skill. In fact, he didn't need the introduction; Ron already knew this skill well.

In the world of Bleach, the fighting technique created by Yoruichi Shihouin has extremely strong combat power! Judging from the performance in the original series, this move is not even weaker than a Zanpakutō's Bankai!

Moreover, there are multiple advanced forms of Shunkō that appear later, making it a powerful and terrifying skill!

Ron never expected that he would actually get this skill. Moreover, it appeared in the [Special Class] branch. But thinking about it, Shunkō is a combination of Hakuda and Kidō, and it doesn't fit neatly into any branch of [Swordsmanship, Hand-to-Hand Combat, Flash Step, or Way of Destruction/Binding]. It makes sense that it's classified under [Special Class].

Just like when he obtained [Zangetsu], Ron suppressed his intention to use the skill immediately. Even if he wanted to try it, he had to wait until he was in a safe place and in good condition. After a series of battles, Ron's physical strength was exhausted. He decided to wait before experimenting with the new skill.

After scanning the surrounding area and feeling that there were no clues left, Ron used Flash Step to leave the area.

...

Not long after Ron left, another team of marines arrived. Led by the island's naval branch chief, Yara.

Yara looked solemn. It had been a long time since they had news from Bruner, and there were frequent disturbances here. Unable to contain his concern, he decided to investigate.

As soon as he arrived, he saw corpses everywhere. Looking around, almost all of them belonged to the navy. This darkened Yara's expression.

Although he wanted Bruner to test the strength of the Oli family, he didn't expect Bruner to be defeated here. After all, Bruner had come from the Grand Line. Despite being considered a scum in the navy, his rank was earned through real experience!

He had considerable strength and was extremely cunning, otherwise, he wouldn't have engaged in secret activities for personal gain. But Yara never expected Bruner and his group of marines to be annihilated here! They didn't even manage to send any information!

'Who did they encounter?'

Yara's face was solemn. He knew the strength of Orleans, the head of the Oli family. It was impossible for Orleans to have the power to kill Bruner! This meant someone else did it!

At this time, a marine soldier approached quickly and reported, "Sir, a body cut in two was found over there, and..."

At the end, the soldier swallowed hard and said, "There's also a gully over a hundred meters long on the ground. I suspect it was cut by a sword!"

This soldier was just an ordinary third-class soldier in Paradise and had never seen such a thing. When he saw the sword mark over 100 meters long, he was severely shocked. He even wondered if his eyes were playing tricks on him. How could such an outrageous thing happen? Who could cut a 100-meter-long gully with a single sword?

"What?"

Hearing this, Yara was taken aback and hurried over. When he saw the gully stretching for 100 meters, he was extremely shocked. Then, when he saw Lawrence's appearance, he couldn't help exclaiming: "'Quick Hand' Lawrence? This..."

He was shocked! A pirate with a bounty of 40 million Berries belonged to the top group in the North Blue, and their reputation alone could stop children from crying. A character that even the navy wouldn't dare to provoke!

However, now he was lying here, cut in half by someone with a sword! Who was so ruthless? What was hidden on this island that even a top pirate with a 40 million bounty fell here?

"The notice goes out, everyone is on alert. Pay attention to all movements on the island! Finally, send someone to clean up this area and gather information!"

Yara gave the order with a calm face, showing no hint of fear. His solemn expression made all the marines breathe a sigh of relief. The officer was worthy of being an officer; he was not chaotic even when faced with a top pirate dying here. Such a heart, no wonder he was an officer!
