Chapter 157: The New Undead's Performance, Gun of Death!
A six-legged, blue-striped saber-toothed tiger; a flying mantis with arms as sharp as blades; a rhinoceros beetle whose long horn glowed with scorching red light; a golden python with cold, azure vertical pupils...
"Hiss!"
"Roar!!"
Countless fierce beasts poured out from the red maple forest. Their wild instincts continuously told them that the few humans before them were extremely dangerous.
The beasts, with wary expressions, faced off against them. They did not act rashly but slowly gathered, surrounding them, soon amassing dozens.
"My plan was clearly to infiltrate."
Sanji sighed, looking helplessly at Luffy. "It seems that as long as you're around, any plan will magically lose its effect."
"If you're scared, you can hide behind me."
Zoro untied the bandana from his arm and tied it to his forehead, a dangerous smile curling on his lips. "There are only five of us left here. With this exaggerated number, it seems we'll have to put in some effort."
At this time, only Luffy, Reiner, Zoro, Sanji, and Perona's ghost remained on the island; the others had formed another group and left.
All of these beasts before them exuded powerful auras. Any single one of them was not something an ordinary marine or even a low-ranking officer could handle.
A lineup of this number was several times more threatening than the elite forces of a Buster Call.
However...
It's still not enough. Let's wait until more gather before we make a move, Reiner stood on a stone pillar with his hands in his pockets, surveying the gathering horde of monsters with a light smile.
"I don't mind, the more the merrier. If you guys feel the pressure is too great, you can leave them all to my undead."
With a thought, several void rifts opened out of thin air around him. His four strongest undead walked out from within.
Besides the white-haired, twin-tailed loli mage undead and Sukuna, whose cold gaze seemed to want to slice through everything, there were two undead making their debut.
A cool-looking gunman wearing a black trench coat and a black hat, with four arms each holding a pistol—
—[Gun Devil!]
In life, he was one of the core members of the Rocks Pirates, possessing extremely superb marksmanship and movement skills, using his four pistols with ghostly prowess.
Among the Zombie Generals on Thriller Bark, several were once renowned powerhouses from the Rocks Pirates that Moria had obtained. He was the one whose body was the best preserved.
The shadows Moria had on hand were too weak, completely unable to bring out the proper combat power of many of the corpses.
After being taken in by Reiner, he also awakened the combat abilities of his original body, leaping to become a first-tier undead under his command.
"I have an impression of this gunman, but who is this other one?"
Sanji looked doubtfully at the bare-chested undead before him, which revealed sturdy muscles.
This undead was about five meters tall, with blue skin. Its blocks of muscle were like forged steel, hard and full of violent beauty. Its ferocious beastly head was adorned with a pair of coiled goat-like horns, resembling a demon.
It held a large, pitch-black shield in its left hand and a large, black executioner's sword on its right shoulder. Just by standing there, it inspired fear.
"This is the big surprise from Thriller Bark. The Majin Berserker, 'Continent-Puller' Oars!" Reiner couldn't help but grin.
"Majin Oars?"
Zoro rubbed his chin as if recalling something. "Never heard of him. We didn't see this zombie before, did we?"
"You don't even know this, idiot! Oars was a giant majin who shook the world five hundred years ago!"
Perona, at the side, opened her umbrella and floated into the air, looking as if she were seeing a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, and said proudly:
"He was an ancient giant, several times larger than ordinary giants. Because he liked to move the islands he conquered back to his own territory, he earned the title 'Continent-Puller Oars'."
"Later, when attacking the Ice Country, he froze to death because he wasn't wearing clothes. Lord Moria modified his corpse into the strongest zombie and kept it hidden in a special freezer."
As she spoke, Perona floated over to Luffy and Reiner and said, pouting:
"Hmph, Lord Moria originally wanted to take one of your shadows to revive this special zombie, but he was defeated by Straw Hat before he could succeed."
"Hee hee hee, what a pity."
Luffy scratched his head and chuckled. "I'm really curious what my zombie would look like. Majin Oars sounds really cool."
"Pity my foot!"
Perona's spirit passed through Luffy's body, one hand on her hip as she pointed at his nose and shouted, "If he had gotten both of your shadows back then! Oars would have been an opponent you absolutely couldn't have won against!"
You're thinking too much, Reiner couldn't help but think of Zoro and Sanji who had their shadows stolen at the time.
Actually, it would have been most troublesome if Moria had put Sanji's shadow into Oars.
Zoro's shadow wouldn't work well; there weren't three big swords for Oars to use. Luffy had maxed out his fighting skills, but he hadn't mastered Haki yet.
Sanji, on the other hand, with his exquisite kicking skills, could also awaken Oars's Haki. That would have been a bit troublesome. It was a pity Moria didn't understand them.
As for Reiner's shadow...
Let's not even mention it.
"Roar!!!"
A roar erupted from the distance. The group looked towards the sound. The surrounding beasts had already gathered in the hundreds, so densely packed they nearly filled the entire forest.
"It seems these beasts can't wait any longer. I'll take the left," Zoro said coldly, then dragged his sword and was the first to charge to the right.
"He's hopeless, that directionally challenged idiot!!"
Perona stared with wide eyes and shouted, then gritted her teeth and flew out after him, simultaneously separating three giant, round-headed ghosts from her body that flew into the beast horde.
"Special Hollow: Kamikaze Rap!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With a snap of her fingers, the special-sized ghosts were instantly detonated. Pillars of fire shot up accompanied by thick smoke, and several massive beasts slowly fell amidst mournful howls!
"Tch, who asked you to get in the way."
Clang!
Zoro glanced disdainfully at the figure beside him, then gritted his teeth and used all three swords to parry the tusks of a mammoth.
He slid back several meters before stopping, then dived beneath it, a flash of sword light appearing.
Bang!
The sharp blade cut a trail of blood, and the mammoth's massive figure crashed to the ground.
"Not cute at all!"
Perona, completely ignoring the sharp fangs and claws passing through her body, waved her hand and sent out several more special-sized ghosts, shouting at Zoro with dissatisfaction:
"Don't you dare say I'm just getting a free ride on your ship in the future! Ghost Snap: Kamikaze Rap!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
On the other side.
"This fire bull looks pretty good. A rare, fine ingredient. I'll cook you tonight."
Looking at the giant bull before him with red fur and flames burning on its back, Sanji's eyes burned with fervor as he pushed off the ground and leaped up.
He kicked away the sharp horns that were aimed at him, twisted his body to evade the flaming tail that whipped towards him.
Sanji used the momentum to execute a spinning flying kick, heavily striking the opponent's side!
"Diable Jambe: Flank Steak Kick!!"
Bang!!
The impact was huge and muffled. The massive, building-sized bull's flesh seemed to ripple.
The intense pain made its two large eyes bulge, its pupils dilating and blood vessels spreading as it fell to the side!
Bang!
"Aow!!"
Two fierce beasts were crushed by its massive body, letting out mournful cries as a thick cloud of dust was kicked up.
Through the dust, a silhouette could be vaguely seen speeding through the beast horde!
"Hee hee hee, a two-headed wolf, I like you!"
Having learned from his previous experience with the black bear, Luffy no longer underestimated these beasts and started directly with Gear Second.
"Rubber Jet Pistol!"
A fist steaming with white vapor shot out. The gray wolf with two heads was instantly sent flying, crashing through several maple trees, unable to get up again.
Swish!
A long, bright red whip lashed out rapidly. Luffy's feet tapped the ground continuously, his figure flickering as he dodged the whip.
Looking to the side, a three-legged frog on the ground retracted its tongue and then shot it out again.
"A three-legged frog!"
Luffy's eyes lit up. He immediately rushed forward excitedly. "You can come be a member of our undead army too!"
Seeing the wolf-like Luffy, a bone-chilling coldness instantly rose up the frog's back. It turned tail and was about to retreat!
This human... there's something wrong with him!!
Reiner: "..."
My undead army really doesn't need such weird things. In such an intense battle, how is your vibe so different from everyone else's?
He looked to the front again. The mage undead, Frieren, was floating in the air, treading on sand. With a wave of her hand, she unleashed a sky full of flames and violent lightning.
From time to time, birds of prey and flying insects would attack her. Frieren would imbue her staff with pitch-black Haki and swing it out directly!
Her small body contained a completely disproportionate amount of strength. Most couldn't even withstand a single blow before being smashed to the ground, after which a pillar of fire would instantly cover them.
And below Frieren, the corpses of fierce beasts were piled up into a mountain. Sukuna sat idly on top of it.
Countless sprays of blood flew. All the ferocious beasts that charged at him were unbelievably cut down before they could see anything clearly, becoming part of the mountain of corpses beneath him.
"With them on the front lines, there won't be any problems."
Reiner's expression was calm. Some gaps cannot be bridged by numbers, which is why he never thought of taking the zerg-rush route.
He would always only want a few top-tier undead, continuously surrounding and killing stronger opponents to upgrade or fuse them.
Collecting more strange creatures was just for convenience in daily life.
Of the strange creatures here, only about a fifth caught his eye. The rest weren't strong enough, and summoning them would just be a waste of stamina.
"Let's see how the other two perform." Reiner withdrew his gaze, lit a cigarette, and turned to look behind him.
A saber-toothed tiger with six legs and blue stripes pounced at the Gun Devil undead!
Its fangs glinted with a cold light, and its sharp claws swung down like blades!
Bang! Bang!
The Gun Devil undead raised its hand straight up. Without even aiming, it fired two shots instantly. A pitch-black bullet struck the opponent's tusk.
Clang!
Squelch!
As sparks flew, the saber-toothed tiger's fang broke and flew out. The force of the bullet was so great that its body was knocked off course!
Before it could stabilize itself in mid-air, another bullet pierced its head, taking a spray of blood with it.
Bang!!
The massive body of the blue tiger slammed heavily onto the ground, plowing a trench as it slid past the Gun Devil.
His gaze didn't linger for half a second. He strolled leisurely towards the beast horde, his black trench coat fluttering in the wind.
Rustle!!
Black shadows suddenly flashed from the grass on both sides. A mantis with arms like sharp blades and a hornet with a stinger like a sword instantly rushed out, attacking from the left and right!
Bang! Bang!
The Gun Devil crossed its arms and pulled the triggers again. Two puffs of green smoke slowly rose from the muzzles.
The two giant insects that had ambushed from the side had their heads instantly pierced. Their bodies paused for a moment, then glided down behind him as he passed, crashing heavily into each other.
The Gun Devil spun the twin guns on his fingertips, popping out the revolver cylinders, and leisurely began to reload.
Nearly ten slender-bodied cobras flicked their forked tongues, their azure vertical pupils flashing with a cold, sinister glint as they coiled and lunged from behind him at extreme speed!
The next moment, two arms strangely extended from within the black trench coat. Before their terrified eyes, the pitch-black muzzles erupted with countless tongues of fire!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A dense hail of bullets was instantly unleashed. The heads of the ambushing cobra swarm were accurately blown apart one by one, blue blood splattering with shreds of snake meat!
At this time, the two pistols above had been reloaded and continued to reap the lives of all the beasts that attacked, at an extremely fast rate!
The Gun Devil walked step by step, slowly through the beast horde. Four pistols fired in alternation, a crossfire of bullets weaving from all directions, leaving no blind spots!
Beneath the brim of his black hat was his cold, reaper-like face. Wherever he passed, one massive corpse after another fell!
The four revolvers in his hands were like the guns of death, announcing the end of life!
"He's stronger than I expected. He must have been an incredible figure in his past life."
Reiner smiled faintly, extremely satisfied with his performance. "I'll ask Franky to help make a few Desert Eagles for him later."
Finally, there was Majin Oars. Reiner's gaze fell again on the berserker in the field.
After obtaining Oars's body, he sensed the attraction of the two azure flames of the Blue and Red Ogres to it.
Given that Hakoku needed time to charge up to unleash its power, Reiner decisively abandoned it.
If he needed to charge up, he had other ways to use that kind of world-destroying move.
Instead, he fused the power that was several times stronger with the thousand-times-tempered, near-perfect combat skills of the Blue and Red Ogres.
Combined with his Devil Fruit ability to forge the body, avoiding the fatal flaws of being excessively large.
A berserker undead, one step away from perfection—
—War Ogre!
