Although Scotch’s appearance after using his ability may appear somewhat peculiar, it cannot hide its advantages. At this moment, he resembled a small flying fortress, recklessly pouring firepower below.
Secondary brain is responsible for aiming and charging, while the main brain perfects the details of combat.
The accuracy of lightning strikes is naturally much higher in thunderstorms than in clear skies. With the support of Lock-On move, the notoriously hard-to-hit Zap Cannon receives a significant boost. Moreover, the primary target of Scotch’s Zap Cannon wasn’t a person but a ship.
Having the ability to fly and preemptively destroy enemy ships in naval combat already gives one an advantage. These individuals may be able to cut apart cannonballs, but they cannot deflect his Zap Cannon made of electricity.
These ordinary people without mastery in Armament Haki will feel a powerful electric current spreading through their bodies the moment their blades touch the Zap Cannon.
Boom! Boom!
After two loud blasts, two large holes appeared on their ship, and seawater began to rush into the cabin. The ship, carrying the dreams of newcomers, prematurely ended its mission.
The people on the ship were trying to rescue it, but it was futile. The rapidly fired Zap Cannon left irreparable wounds on the ship’s hull. Meanwhile, Scotch’s attention was focused on the enemy’s captain.
This man capable of releasing Flying Slash Attack was the only one who could pose a threat to him. Although he was a cyborg, he still retained a large number of human organs. If he were to thrust the blade through the gap in Scotch’s eyeball, it could pose a certain threat to him.
The secondary brain brought by Magneton is equivalent to giving him a fire control system. At this moment, the gatling gun on his right arm was continuously changing its attack target.
Ordinary crew members couldn’t attack Scotch; they could not even get close to him. In this situation, their captain still chose to approach Scotch.
The direct slashing power of the blade is much greater than that of Flying Slash Attack. The previous Flying Slash Attack had already demonstrated that his attack was ineffective, so he could only make this choice.
The opponent’s ability is related to magnetic force; even a blind man could see that. The large magnets replacing his hands and feet were too obvious. The moment he approached Scotch, he clearly felt his blade becoming heavier and swinging it became extremely difficult.
However, being able to become the captain demonstrates the recognition of his strength by his subordinates. Unlike those ordinary subordinates who could not even swing a blade under the influence of Scotch’s ability, he could still barely control his blade.
Clang!
A burst of sword light flashed by, and Scotch’s right arm’s barrel was unexpectedly severed. However, his blade continued to slash toward Scotch’s chest with undiminished momentum.
The moment his barrel was severed, a hint of joy appeared on the captain’s face. But when he saw Scotch’s mocking gaze, a sense of unease suddenly appeared within him.
He suddenly felt a surge of powerful strength transmitted through the blade, and this time it wasn’t repelling his blade but rather drawing it towards Scotch.
However, unlike what happened previously where his gun barrel was severed, his weapon was now firmly locked onto Scotch’s chest, while a large magnet was positioned above his head.
“The barrel is the most fragile part of my body. Did you really think you were able to get close because you’re strong enough?”
A swordsman’s close-range slash can make the attack more powerful, but for Scotch, the closer the distance, the stronger the magnetic force he releases.
Sure enough, the captain is quite strong, but after getting in close, his strength was not enough to break free from Scotch’s Magnet Pull.
As for his own safety, as long as he guards the exposed parts, he is not worried that these newcomers can hurt him. This is a brand new body infused with Arceus Steel, and he has absolute confidence in Arceus’s power.
“To be honest, your skills are far inferior to those samurai. Although among newcomers, you’re not bad, but you’ve picked the wrong opponent!”
He also acknowledged the strength of some samurai in Wano Country; most people on the seas are not comparable to these powerful samurai. As Scotch’s words fell, a strong electric current circulated between the magnets.
Rumble!
The thunder in the sky struck Scotch. This was the lightning he attracted, which couldn’t harm him; instead, it enhanced the power of his attacks.
But for the captain, the lightning that fell from the sky combined with the electric currents released by Scotch was a deadly blow.
As the clouds in the sky dispersed, there was no trace of the pirate ship on the sea surface, only a few fishing boats were salvaging something. They weren’t fishing; they were fishing people.
After enduring the dual thunder attack, the captain didn’t die but fell into a coma from severe injuries. This sparked a little interest in Scotch. If troublemakers have some strength, the Beasts Pirates would think highly of them.
Such people are usually detained. Those willing to surrender are absorbed into peripheral forces, while those unwilling are sent to work in mines. Currently, they are salvaging people stunned by Scotch’s electricity, occasionally catching some fish.
Such occurrences can only be considered normal in the New World. Every pirate with a fixed territory faces such situations, and even the civilians on the islands have become accustomed to it.
“So, this is your new body? It’s really sturdy.”
Looking at Scotch, who only had a few shallow white marks on his body, Jabull couldn’t help but envy this body.
“Of course, this is the power of Lord Arceus. I’m No.8. If I can’t even guard this place, I’d be unworthy of the trust Boss Kaido and the others have placed on me.”
Not only Scotch’s territory was invaded, but Mandrell also dealt with a group of newcomers, but he didn’t keep any prisoners. His mood was very bad for being disturbed during his date.
Meanwhile, on Onigashima, after a long journey, Queen and Yamato returned. To avoid being reported by Yamato, Queen directly went to the new Tree of Knowledge to consult some ancient documents.
After the data from Ohara was brought back, he found the differences in those data. Some issues mentioned by Vegapunk in the past were even recorded. With this data, a lot of research would become much easier.
According to the original timeline, the books from Ohara would be taken back to Elbaf by the giants, and Vegapunk would also memorize the contents using his extraordinary talent, thus advancing his research greatly.
But now, all these books have been intercepted by the Beasts Pirates, which has slowed down some of Vegapunk’s research. These data were collected and compiled by Ohara from various ruins around the world.
Although the World Government also has some records, it’s not easy for Vegapunk to access these data.
