Chapter 133: Chewing Big Bites
"Snapped!"
Suddenly, Lox slapped Oro hard on the shoulder.
Oro and the gentleman both turned to look at Lox.
Ignoring the gentleman's intimidating gaze, Lox stared at Oro, his eyes wide and veins bulging on his forehead.
"You brat, don't go crazy!"
Oro looked completely bewildered: "In your mind, am I really someone who's so easily swayed by words?"
"Nonsense!"
Lox raised his voice an octave, pointing at the disgusting dish in the gentleman's hand: "You're a bastard who'll stop at nothing to get what you want!"
"God knows if you'd just grab that damn board right there and start shoving that disgusting stuff into your mouth!"
He spoke with great excitement, spitting out words, his face flushed red with emotion.
Oro blinked, staring at Lox with some suspicion in his heart.
Why is this guy suddenly so agitated?
Something is definitely not right.
This guy probably doesn't want to—
A reckless fool, but—just right.
Oro narrowed his eyes slightly, rolled his eyes as if he was speechless, and raised his head.
Using this action, he subtly stepped back two paces, sandwiching the gentleman between him and Locke like two pieces of bread.
The gentleman observed the behavior of the two little creatures in front of him and knew what would happen next.
But He still wanted to see it; He loved watching these kinds of shows that slapped the faces of self-righteous people, just like 800 years ago.
"I'm telling you, you rascal!"
Oro waved his hand speechlessly: "Could you give your companions a little more information?!"
Before he finished speaking, Oro and Rocks attacked simultaneously!
Two people who were arguing just a second ago suddenly became remarkably synchronized.
Dark red, imposing lightning exploded from Rocks' body, and black flames instantly enveloped his entire body.
He stomped his right foot backward, cracking the black ground beneath his feet, and his body transformed into a black afterimage, lunging straight for the gentleman's left side.
At the same time, the gold surrounding Oro surged.
Liquid gold gushed from his body and condensed in the air into dozens of sharp spears, the surfaces of which were covered with black Armament Haki.
The spearhead locked onto the gentleman's right side and shot out with a whoosh.
The two men, positioned on the left and right, formed a perfect pincer attack.
Caught between two forces that seemed irresistible to the world, the gentleman laughed unrestrainedly.
Hahahaha—
"7
The laughter was no longer the elegant and restrained chuckle of before, but a wild and unrestrained laugh.
Just as Lox had predicted, He flung the clay tablet in his hand into the air.
The black mud slab spun and flew into the sky, its flesh and blood splattering in an arc through the air.
The gentleman's body moved the instant he was thrown off the mud slab.
It's not dodging, it's counterattacking.
He first dealt with Oro, who was closest and posed the greatest threat.
The gentleman raised his right hand, his white-gloved hand making a grasping motion in the air.
With this action, the golden spear that Oro had shot suddenly stopped three meters away from the gentleman.
It wasn't blocked, it came to a complete stop.
As if time had stood still, all the spears were frozen in mid-air, unable to advance an inch.
Oro's expression changed slightly.
His senses told him that the spears weren't blocked by some force, but rather that the entire space was fixed in place.
The structure of the space is forcibly locked, and any object that enters that area will lose kinetic energy.
This ability—
Oro's brain was analyzing rapidly, but his body continued to move.
He swiftly withdrew his attack, manipulating the golden spears to disintegrate and return to his surroundings as liquid gold. Simultaneously, he propelled himself backward with a powerful kick.
Oro knew very well that if the gentleman was truly invincible and could do anything, then he wouldn't need to chat with them here; he could just crush them to death.
Since He is still showing and tempting, it means that He has limitations.
Therefore, what Auro needs to do is not to fight head-on, but to probe.
To test the limits of sleeves.
Then, take back the initiative.
If Oro and Rocks really are partners.
That's certainly what Auro would think.
But Rocks—
Sure enough, this bastard didn't follow the unspoken agreement of attacking the gentleman like two sandwiches.
Rocks, who was originally lunging toward the gentleman's left, forcibly twisted his body in mid-air, and stomped his feet hard in the air. The shockwave generated by stomping the air caused the black water below the steps to splash up.
Using this recoil force, Rocks' body shot into the sky like a cannonball.
Shoot it at the demonic contract that has been thrown into the air.
His goal was never to be a gentleman.
It's a demonic contract!
Rocks's excitement and argument just now were all an act.
It was performed for the gentlemen, and also for Oro.
He deliberately acted like an impulsive brute, all for this moment.
To create this moment of opportunity!
Locke stretched out his hand, fingers spread, and reached for the black mud tablet in the air.
His movements were so fast that even his afterimages were barely visible.
catch!
Then, with a wide-open mouth, it instantly swept away all the roses on top!
This bastard is chewing away with gusto, and it looks like he's really enjoying it!
The gentleman, like an old spectator sitting high in the VIP section, did not stop Lox.
He stood there, leaning on his cane, his body slightly leaning forward, with a smug smile on his face.
The smile grew brighter and brighter, until the eyes narrowed into slits.
He knew the funniest part was about to happen.
really-
Just as Lox was enjoying his meal, he suddenly froze.
His movements stopped, his mouth remained in a chewing position, but his whole being seemed to have been paused.
Then, golden light emanated from Lox's body.
The light was so intense that it instantly covered Lox's entire body.
His hair, eyes, and clothes all turned gold.
Rocks immediately activated his Haki, only to find to his dismay that it was useless!
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as he slowly turned into an exquisite golden statue.
Rocks' expression at the last moment was quite remarkable.
It was an unparalleled shock mixed with disbelief that went, "Holy crap! What's going on?!" and anger that went, "I've been fucking screwed over again!"
"Ahhh~ Ahhh~ That feels so good~"
The gentleman took a deep, comfortable breath, as if he were smelling the wonderful aroma of some rare delicacy.
That's exactly the expression He wanted!
This is exactly the kind of drama we're looking for!
Ah, this mix of resentment and anger with surprise, this bewilderment after being outmaneuvered, this despair of thinking you've outsmarted someone only to fall into a trap—it's all so delicious!
The gentleman closed his eyes, savoring the moment for a while, before opening them again to look at Oro.
Oro looked at the golden sculpture, and at the black clay tablet it was holding, on which three roses remained.
Finally, look at the gentleman.
The two "people" looked at each other.
The gentleman smiled and remained silent.
Silence spread across the platform, broken only by the deep rumble of the city's pulse in the distance and the gentle lapping of black water against the steps.
After a long silence, Oro spoke, his voice eerily calm: "Is this what you wanted?"
