Chapter 187: Hand-Tearing, Self-Taught Moon Walk
【Black Death】 watched with satisfaction as the virus spread out; large numbers of people on Skuld Island began to be infected, with the contagion accompanied by attacking, biting, and sexual acts.
This 【Blood Cross】 virus, in terms of pure destructiveness, is much more disgusting than the T-Virus, which has a higher reputation in Infinite Space.
Although it lacks evolutionary potential, it is sufficient as a biological weapon.
All infected individuals do not degenerate into mindless creatures like zombies; rather, it is more as if the malice within the biological organism is completely activated. While retaining the ability to think and use tools, they become bloodthirsty and violent, releasing the malice deep in their bones regardless of the consequences.
The town turned into Purgatory almost immediately. Even though the members of God's Guard possessed combat power surpassing that of ordinary town residents, they were caught off guard at the start and, after being bitten a few times, also began to mutate rapidly.
This group of virus-infected people had no sense of pain and frantically released their biological instincts. They ran so fast that they tore the muscles in their own thighs, and they crazily gnawed on other humans, leaving them a bloody mess.
The women were even more miserable; the desires usually hidden behind ethics and morality were completely stimulated. Countless people tore at those women's clothes, releasing their bestial desires and infecting them as well.
Black Death listened to the sky and realized the thunder had still not approached, knowing that the two fellows, Flame Demon and Moon Demon, had not been defeated, or that Enel was being restricted by something else.
Who cares.
The only point Black Death was dissatisfied with was that the Pirate World consists entirely of islands, making the virus relatively difficult to spread; otherwise, he felt he could have obtained a very considerable reward in this world.
He is very adept at using such large-scale infectious biological weapons to carry out wide-range destruction in mission worlds.
"Let's go, we can go look for that 【Golden Town】 from the Side Mission."
Black Death beckoned, and on the other side, a figure revealed itself from the edge of the wall.
"Be careful, Black Death. There might be other Reincarnators on this island; I just had the feeling of being watched."
Black Death looked around, clicked his tongue, and said,
"It's probably that disgusting Tishin of 【Critical Point】's again. Heh, that guy can only shoot his gun in dark places..."
Black Death's tone was strange; it was obvious that this "shooting his gun" was an insult to Critical Point. The man whose figure always unconsciously blended into the surrounding environment clearly did not agree with this view.
Everyone knows the terror of Critical Point. Although the number of Fierce Persons and veteran Reincarnators who died at that guy's hands is not large, every one of them was once famous in the East District.
That level of sniper, regardless of whether they rely on a 【Tishin】, deserves to have their battle record treated with awe.
Black Death sprinkled some medicinal powder for the two of them. Those infected with the virus completely ignored them, allowing them to drive straight in and enter the Shendian.
On the other side, by the sea, people with scarlet eyes roared as they lunged toward the ocean, but Orgins, with his peerless brute strength, had already pushed Cindy's small sampan into the waves.
The warship in the distance was getting closer and closer; even Orgins relaxed a little at this moment.
On the warship, Dalmatian kept his head lowered, his expression unreadable, and he confirmed once more,
"Are we really going to bomb this island?"
"You should be aware that there are nearly twenty thousand people on the island..."
Dalmatian had bandages wrapped around his chest, but the powerful Constitution and recovery ability brought by his Zoan Devil Fruit kept him in a much better state than the others.
Hearing Dalmatian's questioning, Spandam, who wore a silver mask over half his face, had his expression turn cold.
"Vice Admiral, I recall that you should have already accepted the orders."
"There should not be any voice questioning the Special Operations Commander on this ship right now."
He had a mind to draw his sword, but he also knew that most of these Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals were not people who would be threatened by his own combat power.
"Vice Admiral!"
"There are civilians approaching from the front, they seem to be refugees from Skuld Island!"
A Marine came to report immediately. Dalmatian felt that today was truly a bit strange; he didn't know what had happened on the island, but that Thunder God seemed to have no time to attend to the sea, not only allowing the warship to enter but also letting civilians escape.
"Save them and ask about the situation on the island..."
Bang!
A gunshot made Dalmatian's expression turn extremely ugly. Spandam blew the smoke from the muzzle of his gun, and the CP agency members in black suits behind him also closed in at the same time.
"Marines, drive those civilians back. This operation must be kept strictly confidential."
Spandam bore the heavy responsibility of bringing back 【Golden Town】; he would not accept any possibility of complications. As for the civilians, what did that have to do with him...
"I am Cindy, a special task force member of the G51 Branch! Requesting aid, requesting aid!"
The little girl's voice came from the sea. Dalmatian heard the familiar branch number and instantly appeared on the ship's rail. Spandam was gnashing his teeth in hatred, but he did not actually shoot at a Headquarters Vice Admiral; besides, shooting had little effect on a guy like that.
Bai Cangshu, also riding a sampan with Bellamy, approached the warship from another angle.
Dalmatian had a good impression of him. He had changed his Milestone to 【Savior】 in advance. Although Bai Cangshu did not know why the Navy had deduced the fact that Enel was not on Skuld Island at this moment, he could just take advantage of Vergo's death to stir up more trouble.
Boom!
A pitch-black cannonball suddenly flew from the deck on the side of the warship and exploded in the distant sea.
Waves and flames intermingled, causing Bellamy, the Devil Fruit Ability User, and Cindy, hundreds of meters away, to cry out in alarm.
Bai Cangshu watched that warship; the Marines above kept waving at the two approaching sampans, signaling them to leave, while in the waves behind, those guys with scarlet eyes looking like zombies had no fear at all and instead lunged toward Orgins.
Orgins sensed the danger, turned around abruptly, grabbed the person in the lead with one hand, and threw them high into the air for over ten meters, where they fell into the sea. But the others were not afraid in the slightest, instead looking greedily at Orgins and Cindy.
"Don't run... you can't run, hehe."
From the eyes of these people, Orgins felt a twisted malice. He no longer held back, and with one punch, he sent the head of the nearest person, along with the seawater, turning toward their back with a 'Crack!'.
But the person used both hands to pull their neck and forcibly reset it.
"Hey!"
"Marines, bring the little girl up! She is one of Kori and Rushido's people from the G51 Branch!"
Orgins pushed the sampan forward again, getting closer and closer to the monsters behind him; he felt danger approaching.
Dalmatian heard the familiar names again and appeared on the deck, saying to the crew,
"Bring them up!"
Spandam felt that Dalmatian was challenging his authority and tapped his finger twice.
Two CP members immediately drew their pistols and came to the ship's rail to aim at Cindy and Orgins below.
Bang!
Dalmatian instantly knocked one person away, but the other had already fired.
The bullet hit the seawater beside Orgins. Orgins's pupils constricted as he realized something, but before he could speak, a powerful wave struck like a sharp arrow.
Pfft!
Several of the weird townspeople closest were knocked over by that powerful sea wave.
Orgins looked back and saw a small sampan a few dozen meters away; that young man with the cold expression struck the water surface with one hand, and a peculiar Force was transmitted through the water, creating a special sea wave.
While having Bellamy row the boat, Bai Cangshu placed his hand into the seawater, and the Ripple began to spread into the sea from his hand bit by bit.
The water surface is a substance that easily allows the Ripple to complete its transmission.
Ignoring Bellamy's puzzled gaze, Bai Cangshu's level 7 Ripple Qigong began to churn in the seawater; Orgins felt a sense of relief in his heart, knowing that Bai Cangshu was helping them, so he grabbed the sampan and fled in the direction where Bai Cangshu was.
"The Navy is truly unreliable; you take the little girl and leave, I'll cover the rear!"
Orgins shouted at Bai Cangshu, his voice causing the Navy on the warship above to lose all face.
Dalmatian looked down and saw that the Navy member he thought highly of was also on the sea surface; the look he gave Spandam when he turned his head back was quite dangerous.
But before he could act, a Navy member had already exclaimed in alarm.
Dalmatian turned his head back, only to see that young man leap up from the boat, then fall into the seawater, making contact with those islanders who were swimming toward the Navy warship.
In an instant, limbs flew everywhere, and flesh and blood dyed the sea red.
"Big... guy..."
Cindy had always called Bai Cangshu "Big guy," which was an affectionate term, but right now, amidst that flying flesh and blood, familiar faces were being torn apart on the sea, and the color of blood made her unable to call out this name ever again.
Bai Cangshu was expressionless, directly utilizing terrifying strength to break and tear off the limbs of these crazy humans who only knew how to bite and scratch, then smashed their heads.
"No sense of pain, no fear, but still possessing the ability to think..."
He was like an old forensic doctor dissecting a corpse, making judgments about these infected.
When it comes down to it, the Blood Cross is terrifying to ordinary people, but to someone like him, as long as he is willing to kill, no matter how many infected come, they cannot affect him in the slightest.
"You..."
Even though Orgins knew these islanders were infected by something, usually, one would think about whether there was an antidote or if they could be saved...
Yet this guy started killing directly, and his methods were so... cruel.
Even as a Pirate, Orgins had not actually seen many scenes of people being torn apart alive.
On the ship, Spandam's face was somewhat pale, and he even wanted to vomit; he glared at Dalmatian.
"You actually wanted to let this madman on the ship?!"
"Fire the cannons!"
"Kill them all!"
Dalmatian stared blankly at the young man who had dyed the seawater ahead red; the other party seemed to notice, turned his head back, even waved at Dalmatian, and shouted loudly,
"Vice Admiral, these islanders have all been infected!"
"There is likely someone on the island releasing a virus..."
Boom!
A pitch-black cannonball flew out from the muzzle, and Bai Cangshu suddenly stomped his feet fiercely.
In just an instant, he stepped dozens of times, his speed so fast that he once again felt that viscous air.
Bang!
Bang!
Bai Cangshu jumped into the air from nothing, the cannonball exploded on the sea surface; he was a bit unskilled at first, but soon his legs disappeared rhythmically, and his figure also changed direction in the air.
"Ha!"
Bai Cangshu laughed heartily; this was not through a Scroll, but entirely mastered by relying on his own physical strength.
Dalmatian watched this scene, his expression even more complex; he knew that this young man from the G51 Branch before him was a rare genius.
He had mastered the Moon Walk of the Six Styles through self-study, but now, he could not be happy; the other party's actions were something that perhaps even Admiral Akainu would find hard to accept.
