Chapter 43: Transformation!

A thunderous roar, akin to the cry of a prehistoric beast, echoed through the sky.

In fact, it truly was a beast from prehistoric times! Hyudon's eyes trembled violently as he saw Drake suddenly disappear.

In his place, an enormous green beast, about seven or eight meters tall, appeared, baring its sharp fangs like guillotine blades, and smiling menacingly at Hyudon.

"A Tyrannosaurus rex?"

Boom! A massive green tail swept across, striking Hyudon and turning his heavy iron body into a flying baseball.

Crash! Crash! The houses along the street were penetrated, walls crumbled, and clouds of dust rose.

The enormous green beast began to move on its thick hind legs, creating a thudding sound with each step. It smashed through the houses blocking its path with its head and charged toward the flying Hyudon.

"A dinosaur? That guy has the power of an ancient Zoan-type? Who are these people?"

Sith clenched his dual swords tightly.

Ahead, the blond Hawkins had already grasped the hilt of his sword.

"Iaijutsu—"

"A troublesome guy, let me cut off your head!"

Sith leaped high, swinging his dual swords down fiercely.

"Law, get ready! Our task is the hardest; that big bug isn't easy to deal with."

Rorschach focused intensely, watching Jones as he devoured his subordinates, fully alert.

"Law?"

Hearing no response from Law, Rorschach turned in confusion to see Law staring straight at the allosaurus Drake had transformed into, eyes shining brightly.

Rorschach couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

"Hey! Stop staring. If you're interested in dinosaurs, I can have Drake transform for you later. Right now, we've got business to take care of."

Rorschach patted Law on the shoulder.

"Ahem." Law's cheeks reddened slightly. "I was analyzing the tactical situation."

"And have you finished your analysis?"

Rorschach drew the steel sword from his waist.

This sword was a standard Navy weapon, its only advantage being its hardness.

He hadn't systematically learned swordsmanship, but during his daily grueling training on Flameheart Island, he practiced slashing techniques seriously.

"Yes, I've finished analyzing." Law touched his nose and drew his long sword.

Rorschach glanced at the long sword in Law's hand, raising an eyebrow.

It was the famed sword "Kokoro."

Law was really lucky to get a famed sword so quickly.

"Then let's go!"

"ROOM!"

The hemispherical dome dropped, and the two figures vanished, appearing among the group of pirates surrounding Jones.

Taking advantage of the pirates' cover in front, they quietly gripped their long swords and approached Jones.

Initially, there were about fifty pirates attacking Jones.

But in just a few seconds, many were dead or seriously injured.

Several pirates had also been swallowed alive by Jones.

The remaining pirates trembled in fear, their hearts filled with terror.

If it weren't for the Peacock's mysterious abilities, these pirates would have fled long ago.

Whoosh! The ten-meter-long neck coiled in the air, the dark red maw descending to bite a pirate frozen in fear.

"Now's our chance!"

Rorschach sprang up from behind the pirate, gripping his steel sword with both hands and slashing at the descending bloody maw.

His entire strength erupted at that moment.

The steel sword sliced through the air, producing a sharp wailing sound.

Under the immense force, the blade of the long sword even bent slightly.

The sword slash struck solidly on the descending maw.

Splat! Blood splattered, and the foul-smelling blood drenched Rorschach.

The giant worm's maw was split open, the steel sword cutting two feet deep before being stopped by the hard teeth.

"Roar!"

The giant worm howled in pain, its long neck swinging and lifting Rorschach ten meters into the air.

Amid the howling wind and the worm's cries, Rorschach shouted, "Law!"

"I'm on it."

On the ground, Law, holding the famed sword Kokoro, silently approached Jones's back, the sword crackling with electric sparks, aiming for Jones's heart.

"Electric Scalpel!"

The sharp tip of the Kokoro sword pierced Jones's heart with a cold gleam!

"Die, monster!"

Law's eyes lit up.

Clang! The sharp sensation of metal striking metal echoed in Law's ears, shocking him.

"What's going on? Is this guy also a cyborg?"

Law stared wide-eyed at the spot where his sword had struck, seeing the skin on Jones's back turn dark, like spreading ink.

Law's heart trembled, and he blurted out, "Haki!"

"Roar!"

The giant worm roared, its thick arm sweeping across and striking Law in the abdomen!

"Ugh!"

Law's mouth opened wide, coughing up a mouthful of blood, his body hit hard as if struck by lightning, sent flying by Jones's powerful blow.

In the air, Rorschach, unable to pull out the steel sword embedded in the giant worm's maw, had to let go and crouch, dodging the worm's swinging neck, stepping on the air, and shooting forward, landing a punch on the wrinkled side of the worm's neck.

Boom! The punch was like a cannonball, raising the worm's head high.

Rorschach then noticed that the steel sword he had slashed was being slowly pushed out by the worm's teeth.

As the steel sword fell, the huge wound it had created began to heal rapidly before his eyes.

"This guy's defense and healing abilities are far superior to that giant bear. This is the true power of Zoan-type users."

Rorschach frowned.

With his strength alone, he couldn't break through Jones's defenses.

Moreover, what made it more troublesome was that Jones had also displayed Haki!

Although Haki became commonplace in the later stages of the manga, even ordinary soldiers in the New World possessed it.

But in the Four Seas, a person with Haki and a bounty over a hundred million was a force of dominance.

Boom! Stepping on the air, using the Moonwalk technique, Rorschach quickly dodged the giant worm's bites and rushed towards the falling Law.

At that moment, Jones's ten-meter-long neck compressed like a spring, shooting towards Rorschach's back at an incredible speed.

"What?"

Rorschach felt a chill on his back, his scalp tingling.

The swift, released speed of the giant worm was like a blur, leaving Rorschach no time to dodge using the Moonwalk.

In a critical moment, he could only use the defensive technique of the Six Styles.

"Iron Body!"

His muscles tensed like steel, falling towards the ground in an attempt to escape.

The next moment, a terrifying force struck his back.

Boom! Airwaves rippled, and Rorschach grunted, feeling as if hit by a high-speed sea train, crashing heavily to the ground.

Crash! The long street trembled, countless rocks flew, the ground cracked, creating a huge crater.
