Chapter 267: No Chance
While Deon, Ushimaru, & Shinobu fight the ninjas, Oden has reached Orochi's location. Some people tried to stop him but of course, no one has the capability to do so. He finally arrives in front of the trembling Orochi who is very scared of him.
But before Oden can make his move, 3 people suddenly block his path. They are Fukurokuju and 2 other men. The 2 men are a Yakuza Leader under Orochi and a high-ranking official sent by Kaido to assist Orochi.
These 3 didn't make any move before even though their side was at disadvantage. They were still sure that they could win with their number. None of them care how many people will die as long as they win, after all.
But now, the situation changes drastically after Oden joined the war. They wanted to tire Oden out by letting him fight many people first. But he has arrived here in a short time so they don't have any choice but to confront him.
"Move! I will consider imprisoning you if you move. But if you decide to fight, then you will die," says Oden.
"I never thought that Kozuki Oden will use threatening words like that, so unlike you," says the Yakuza.
"Living as prisoners and living in shame are worse than death. Besides, the victor isn't guaranteed yet," says Fukurokuju.
Oden just looks at them while remembering what Buggy told him. The threat that Oden used just now was actually taught by Buggy. Buggy just shared some good lines with Oden and told him to use them in suitable situations.
"Your lines aren't working, Buggyjiro," mumbles Oden.
"What are you mumbling about?" asks the pirate.
"Nothing, I'm just wondering why you guys are not attacking me? I guess you are afraid of me," says Oden while smirking.
The 3 get pissed but they can't refute that because it is true. They know Oden's strength and none of them have the confidence to win against him. But with the 3 of them banding together, they think that they have a chance to win.
Still, they know that it won't be easy to fight Oden even for the 3 of them. They are prepared to lose 2 of them in this fight and the one alive gets gravely injured. Well, they even prepared to die together with Oden in this fight.
It's not like they have strong loyalty that makes them ready to sacrifice themselves. It's just that they need to fight and win if they want to live. Losing this war means death so they can't not fight.
The 3 of them immediately attack Oden at the same time. They need to take the initiative and keep attacking without letting Oden attack. That is the only method that they can think of to win against Oden.
Fukurokuju uses a long straight one-bladed sword and his long earlobes to attack Oden from the front. The Yakuza boss is using a naginata and attacking Oden from the left. The Beast Pirate guy wields a big morning star mace and attacks Oden from the right.
They put all their strength into their first combined attack. But they are still underestimating Oden even though they are prepared to die. Other people will get overwhelmed by their attack but not Oden.
Oden withdraws his swords and blocks Fukurokuju's sword & the Yakuza's naginata. Then he dodges Fukurokuju's earlobes attack while kicking the pirate's morning star mace. After that, Oden swings his swords forward and pushes the 2 sharp weapon users.
Oden then rushes to attack the Yakuza boss after the 3 get separated. He swings Ame no Habakiri from above and the Yakuza boss blocks it with his haki-coated naginata. But the naginata cracks before it gets cut by Oden's attack.
Ame no Habakiri cuts through the naginata and slashes the man's body. As if he's cutting a butter, Oden's sword cuts the guy's body very deeply. He is using advanced A-Haki that increases his attack power.
The Yakuza boss dies instantly because the wound that Oden inflicts is very deep that it almost cuts his body in half. If Oden used more power, then he will really get cut in half by Ame no Habakiri.
The others who look at it are utterly speechless and they are stopped in their track. They try to attack Oden while the Yakuza boss holds him but they never thought that he would in instantly. They know Oden is strong but not to this extent.
None of them know about advanced haki, after all, so this is very shocking to them. Now their confidence in defeating Oden even by a small margin has disappeared. They realize that they are just small rabbits facing a lion.
They flinch when Oden turns around and look at them with an intimidating gaze. Both Fukurokuju and the beasts pirate guy know that they will die if they fight Oden. But it's not like they can run away either because it will also result in death.
"If I will die either way, I will at least wound him even if it's just a scratch," says the pirate.
"Calm down, we might still have a chance. We just need to go all out to increase our chance. The 2 of us need to attack him together with all our might. I'm sure you still have your trump cards and so do I. We need to use them all now or we won't have any chance at all," says Fukurokuju.
".... You're right. It's all or nothing," says the pirate before he starts to transform.
The pirate's body starts to get bigger and black scales start to appear on his body. His body also grows longer and his legs disappear while his arms are still there. He transforms into a gigantic black snake that towers over everything around them.
"An ancient snake?" ponders Oden.
"As expected of one of Beasts Pirates' main officers, Nake. So this is the ancient snake, Titano Boa," comments Fukurokuju while grinning.
The 2's confidence return after Nake transformed into a Titano Boa. His size is gigantic that he should be able to eat a giant whole. Just his sheer size is enough to make people tremble in fear.
"Heh, so you have this kind of power but didn't use it earlier. It seems you were still underestimating me before, both you and Fukurokuju," says Oden as he glances at Fukurokuju.
Fukurokuju & Nake aren't saying anything and just rush to attack Oden. Oden grins widely and swings his swords in a diagonal cross. He creates a big cross slash attack that flies toward the giant snake.
The slash attack flies very fast and Nake can't completely evade it. He still gets cut on his back by Oden's attack even though he has tried to evade and covers his back with A-Haki. His tough scales & A-Haki aren't tough enough to block Oden's advanced Haki attack.
But he's still alive and moves to attack Oden along with Fukurokuju. The long earlobed-man reaches Oden and attacks with his sword. Oden blocks it with a sword and tries to stab with the other sword but Fukurokuju turns into a log.
"As expected of Raizo's rival, but it's not enough," says Oden as he swings his sword to the ground behind him.
Blood suddenly splattered and then Fukurokuju appears with deep wounds on his body. Oden jumps to avoid an attack from the giant snake. Then as he falls down, Oden slashes the giant snake's neck and decapitates it easily, making Nake returns to his original form.
He killed the snake easily and now he is pointing his sword at the injured Fukurokuju. The wound on Fukurokuju's body is also deep enough to incapacitate him. Oden has defeated the 3 enemies easily using his advanced Haki.
