Chapter 47: Bat-Bat Fruit, Model: Vampire (Mythical Zoan)

Weighing the black box in his hand, Luo Di felt his heart racing; aside from the memories in his own mind, he had confirmed it once more in the encyclopedia, and the Devil Fruit before his eyes was exactly the one he had been anticipating—the Bat-Bat Fruit, Model: Vampire (Mythical Zoan).

"Hoo—" Luo Di exhaled softly, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

"Luo Di, this is a Devil Fruit! I never expected to find one here, and there's even an encyclopedia; we are simply too lucky," Ka Li Na said with surprise.

"Captain Luo Di, many Marines have already arrived in Luo Ge Zhen and are currently grabbing pirates everywhere in the streets. There's a pink-haired woman who is very fierce; many black bars sprout from her body, and those pirates are all locked up by her, unable to even escape!" a crew member reported in a panic.

Heilan Tina, is it... Luo Di nodded, and seeing that some of the crew members had already run out clutching their spoils, he said, "Alright, it's about time to leave. The treasure will never be fully looted, but leaving safely is the primary goal."

The crew members gathered immediately and left the noble district with Luo Di, heading toward the port.

The pirates in the plaza and on the streets had almost all been brought under control by the Marines. These Marines had come from the Grand Line, and their abilities were much stronger than those of the East Blue branch. Coupled with the intervention of Tina and Fire Mountain, the slightly weaker pirates had absolutely no power to fight back; some surrendered directly on the spot, holding their heads and squatting down, waiting for the judgment of fate.

"Smoker is truly acting arbitrarily; he says he's leaving such a large town and just goes, without even thinking of the consequences," Tina said, frowning.

"Report to Colonel Tina, members of the Blood Calamity Pirates have been discovered in the noble district; they have been looting there," a Sergeant reported.

Tina exhaled a puff of smoke: "Let's go, capture them."

"Kill!"

The pirates charging at the forefront clashed with the Marines, and for a time, blade light flashed everywhere and blood splattered.

Gai Ou pierced a Marine's chest with a halberd, and seeing Tina, who was currently shackling two Marines, he immediately rushed over. When he reached Tina, he swung his long halberd downward.

"A Fish-Man? The Blood Calamity Pirates actually have such a creature," Tina said indifferently, casually dodging the halberd with a sidestep, then pushing her arm forward horizontally, pressing it against Gai Ou's abdomen.

"Xia·Feather Cage."

A fence composed of several black bars appeared outside Gai Ou's body, trapping him within. His eyes turned red, and he struggled with all his might, but the fence made of Sea Stone was extremely sturdy; even with Gai Ou struggling with all his strength, it only bent slightly.

"Lord Gai Ou! Shave!" Seeing this, Xiao En immediately flashed behind Tina, his long blade slashing down.

"Shave." Tina disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Xiao En immediately turned to swing his blade, but Tina's knee had already struck his abdomen.

"You actually know how to use the Six Powers; no wonder you could cause such a big commotion, but it's all over now," Tina said coldly, biting her cigarette.

The Marines swarmed up, wanting to restrain the trapped Gai Ou and the fallen Xiao En.

Tina suddenly froze; a shadow had appeared abruptly behind her.

"To lay such a heavy hand on my crew, you really don't take me seriously."

As he spoke, Luo Di had already struck, his fist wrapped in Scarlet Ripple hitting Tina's back. Tina immediately used Paper Art to dodge, then used another Shave to create distance. Just as she pulled away, red dots flickered in her eyes, and Star Platinum was already punching toward her.

"Ora ora ora ora!"

Tina blocked immediately, black bars appearing on her arms, attempting to lock Star Platinum, but before the black bars could touch Star Platinum, he had already turned intangible and transparent. The black bars missed and fell to the ground, making a clattering sound.

Tina took the opportunity to sidestep to the side, looking coldly at Luo Di: "Is this your ability? No wonder your bounty is so high."

Having said that, she grabbed a corner of the cape on her shoulders and pulled it hard; the cape was thrown into the air. She stood on the spot in her wine-red high heels, her curvaceous figure outlined by her form-fitting wine-red suit fully revealed.

"But it ends here, prepare yourself, Blood Calamity!"

Tina's long pink hair fluttered, and she grabbed the black bars with both hands, flashing in front of Luo Di and swinging them down fiercely. This strike was powerful and heavy, carrying a blast of air and a majesty that brooked no evasion.

Luo Di stood firm as a mountain. The moment the black bars touched his shoulder, he suddenly transformed into Star Platinum and turned intangible. The black bars grazed his body again. Before they touched the ground, Tina turned and struck upward, pointing directly at Luo Di, who had already arrived behind her.

Swish.

Luo Di's palm, covered in Armament Haki and Scarlet Ripple, blocked the black bars. The black bars did not touch his skin but were instead slowly melted by the heat, turning bright red all over.

Tina frowned, feeling the burning sensation on her hands growing more intense. She immediately threw away the black bars in her hands and kicked toward Luo Di's chin with her right foot in a split position.

Luo Di grabbed Tina's ankle, feeling the air blast from her high heel. Golden Ripple with lightning conducted through his hand. Tina immediately used the hand Luo Di was using to grab her ankle to vault into the air, her other foot kicking toward Luo Di's temple like lightning.

Her martial arts were very strong, and with the enhancement of the Cage-Cage Fruit, she rarely encountered opponents who could rival her in the seas where she was stationed, which had forged her confident style.

Just as Tina's high heel was about to kick Luo Di's temple, Luo Di gave a violent flick, throwing her away. He then teleported to Tina, who was still in the air, and slammed his fists, carrying Scarlet Ripple, into her snow-white, full chest.

Boom!

Tina flew backward several meters in an instant. Her strong combat skills allowed her to stabilize her form in the air, and her heels dug fiercely into the ground, but Luo Di's force had not yet dissipated, and she continued to slide backward, grinding two long marks into the ground.

"Colonel Tina!"

Several Marines saw this and immediately rushed up to catch Tina. The moment they touched her back, they were sent flying directly, slamming into the ground with a boom and rolling several times before stopping.

Tina slid to a high wall, pulled out her right foot, and braced it against the wall. After stabilizing her form, her chest heaved as she panted slightly.

The Armament Haki covering her chest gradually dissipated, and a wisp of white smoke steamed upward. A flash of surprise passed through her eyes; Tina's previous confidence diminished slightly, replaced by gravity.

"Ora ora ora ora!"

Giving her no chance to catch her breath, Star Platinum attacked violently, raining punches down on Tina. Tina blocked with both hands, took a few punches, then used Shave to create distance, flashing to Luo Di's side. At this moment, Luo Di's arms were already covered in crimson and gold, his gaze locked firmly onto Tina.

"Ah, what an interesting battle. To have this kind of strength at such a young age, if you were allowed to keep growing, you would certainly be another great scourge."

At this moment, Fire Mountain's voice arrived. He had already walked to Luo Di's other side, forming a triangular formation with Tina against Luo Di.

Clang!

Drawing his katana slowly, Fire Mountain smiled: "It really isn't a peaceful night. Let me experience the strength of the Blood Calamity for myself; I cannot let you endanger the public."
