OPI Chapter 162: Fierce Confrontation
🕑 Added 2024-05-22 03:44:00 +0000 UTC"What a beautiful head, I'm going to take it!" At that moment, Gyokko looked greedily at Horobi's head and finally decided to act seriously.
"Octopus Vase Hell!"
Numerous tentacles with suction cups began to emerge from his pot in the direction of Horobi.
At the same time, Daki also started her attack.
"Eight-Layered Obi Slash!"
Suddenly, eight pink silk ribbons, as sharp as blades, shot out from her body, blocking the space around Horobi.
Horobi snorted coldly and, without saying a word, released dozens of black threads across the skin of her body.
Some of these threads were sticky and caught the ribbons they touched, while others were as hard as iron and sharp as needles, easily piercing the thick octopus tentacles.
[Boom!]
Horobi launched a sphere of purple energy towards Gyokko, and then, using the hardened threads as support, she ran towards Daki at high speed.
"You! Don't come here!"
The innocent and cruel Daki became nervous when she saw Horobi's blue eyes and fierce face plate and quickly released more pink ribbons to try to stop her.
However, the ribbons were easily cut by the black blade on Horobi's right arm. The next moment Horobi cut off her head.
"Ah! I was decapitated again!"
Daki's head was still screaming and complaining in the air, while Horobi prepared to tear her body into pieces.
From Daki's severed neck, a skinny demon emerged, with black-spotted skin and a hump, wielding two red Kama made of flesh and blood. He blocked Horobi's black blade with surprising speed, and then engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with Horobi.
"Wow, how strong his fighting energy is. So that's the true form of Upper Rank Six. I always thought Daki was too weak for that rank..."
Akaza watched Gyutaro in battle.
Despite his speed, Gyutaro was unable to match Horobi, who had exceptional mastery of Kenbunshoku Haki.
The wounds on Gyutaro's body multiplied, while his Kama rarely touched Horobi, and when they did, they were stopped by her black armor.
"Flying Blood Sickles!"
Gyutaro used his Blood Demon Art. The blood in his body, as if it had a life of its own, transformed into blades that rotated rapidly around him, forcing Horobi back.
After that, Horobi was surrounded by Akaza, the tentacles summoned by Gyokko, and Daki's ribbons.
Meanwhile Muzan's attention was focused on the battle between Gus and Kokushibo alongside Doma, as Gus was actually suppressing them.
At that time Kokushibo felt that Gus was one of the three strongest rivals he had ever faced. No matter how many sword techniques he used or how many moon blades he created, he could not defeat this Kabaneri.
[Swoosh!]
At that moment, a black shadow rushed towards the back of Gus's head at an astonishing speed.
Gus barely had time to turn and use his Busoshoku Haki-covered fist to block the attack.
[Boom!]
The impact between the black fist and the bone whip created a deafening noise.
"What a hard fist..." Muzan withdrew his bone whip, while looking at Gus in surprise.
"Hehe, you finally show yourself, Demon King." Gus sneered, and at the same time moved his right fist.
It was evident that Muzan's attack was powerful. If he hadn't used Haki, just his black armor wouldn't have been enough.
"I heard that you have lived for a thousand years, but why are you so weak, almost as weak as me?"
"What an ignorant and arrogant being. Do you feel so proud just for being stronger than these Twelve Kizuki?" While speaking, Muzan's body changed from female to male form. His black kimono disintegrated, revealing strong muscles and entered his combat form.
"You two, eliminate that woman. Don't kill her or drink her blood."
"Yes Master..."
Kokushibo and Doma, obeying the order, turned away with hatred in their gazes towards Gus.
Only Muzan and Gus were left facing each other.
[Swoosh! Swoosh!]
In an instant, both of them disappeared and then violently collided in midair, creating a storm of shadows and explosions.
[Bang! Bang! Bang!]
After only a few seconds, Muzan realized that he could not defeat Gus without using all his strength.
He released the nine whips from his back and the eight from his legs, adding them to the whips formed by his arms.
With nineteen terrifying stinging whips that can destroy the cells of a human body just by touching it, they covered Captain Gus, who was flying in the air at high speed on moon steps.
The nineteen whips launched en masse towards Gus, who was moving through the air using Geppo.
Their battle caused unprecedented destruction to the structures of Infinity Castle.
This affected even the members of the Twelve Kizuki who had just captured Horobi, forcing them to retreat frantically away from the battlefield.
Both the Upper Rank and Lower Rank Twelve Kizuki were stunned, watching as Muzan and Gus clashed furiously.
Meanwhile, outside Infinity Castle, the Japanese government was in a panic.
A sandstorm arising from Mount Fuji not only did not subside, but was advancing unstoppably towards the Tokyo region...
...
"President, after preliminary calculations, it would theoretically take at least thirty-four days for 200,000 troops to pass through the Dimensional Gate." An official reported in the meeting room.
After hearing the report, Coulson and others present understand that there are only more than two months left before a full-scale war with the other world begins.
"Understood, you can leave."
"Yes sir!"
After the official left, Fernández looked at the vice president in charge of administrative management, and asked: "Can we avoid being discovered by the Japanese government before these 200,000 soldiers cross?"
"Before it wouldn't have been a problem. But due to Crocodile's reckless actions, we have drawn the attention of the Japanese government to Mount Fuji. This increases the risk of being discovered..." The vice president frowned in obvious displeasure.
"So, the Japanese could send personnel to investigate the origin of the sandstorm? That could be a serious problem." The vice president who was in charge of finances frowned with concern.
Once the Japanese government discovered that there were a large number of armed forces hidden near Mount Fuji, one can imagine what the reaction would be.
Coulson smiled slightly. "It's actually not that serious. Even if they send investigators, they will only come to check the weather. It is unlikely that they will go into the forest."
"Oh, if only the dimensional portal were a little bigger." Fernandez sighed.
Given this, the other vice presidents remain silent. No one really knows how the dimensional portal came about and to avoid problems, they never delve into those details. They simply focus on using it in the best way possible.
"Okay, let it be 34 days. After that time we will take Japan, and then we will declare war on the entire world!"
…
Inside Infinity Castle, Muzan and Gus have already been in fierce combat for two days.
Despite the time that has passed, their speed, strength and concentration have not diminished one bit. The buildings they pass are reduced to rubble.
They look like meteors, sometimes separated, other times chasing each other, colliding and then separating again. The battle has reached a critical point.
Muzan feels more and more impatient. He did not expect this so-called Kabaneri to be so difficult to defeat.
Especially after so long of fighting, how is it possible that this guy doesn't show any signs of tiredness?
But only Gus knows his own situation, and now he's in trouble. Although his stamina still allows him to last half a day longer, his Haki is running out.
Muzan's attacks are incredibly fast and consistent. Those nineteen thorny whips attack at astonishing speeds without ceasing, and it seems that Muzan knows no tiredness or fatigue.
This forces Gus to continually use his Kenbunshoku Haki and Busoshoku Haki, leaving him exhausted.
"Although I don't know how much longer you can resist, it seems that you don't have any technique that can kill me. The one who will die in the end will be you, it's just a matter of time."
Gus didn't answer. With an impassive expression, he withstands Muzan's waves of attacks one after another. He has no choice but to buy time.
If he can't hold out until reinforcements arrive, all that remains is death.
Meanwhile, in Hachioji, about forty kilometers west of Tokyo, the streets are deserted after the highest level alert was issued.
[Whoosh, hiss, whoosh, hiss...]
In the blink of an eye, the city of Hachioji began to be covered by the sandstorm at an astonishing rate.
Ten minutes later, Hachioji was completely buried. But something strange happened. The sandstorm did not continue moving, but instead swirled in a tornado around the city.
But in this extreme environment, the sand gathered and formed an imposing human figure.
Except for his black cloak fluttering in the wind, he seemed immune to the sandstorm.
"Mmm, looks like it's here."
Crocodile looked at the two Vivre Cards in his hand, which were no longer moving, although one of them was beginning to burn at the edges.
He calmly put the cards away, lit a cigarette and then examined the street and the buildings.
"Underground, right? In that case..."
In the next instant, his arm transformed into sand again, expanding rapidly. Each grain of sand vibrated at high speed, generating a ringing in his ears.
"Whether they survive depends on their luck!"
"Desert Spada!"
