Chereads / Ballad of the Crows / Chapter 40 - Thriller Bark

Chapter 40 - Thriller Bark

Van Augur: Captain, there is something in the distance, it seems to be a door.

Katahara then stopped training with his sword and turned to look.

Katahara: Thriller Bark, here we are at last...

Then I take out 3 devil fruits, I give one to Dabi, one to Augur and the last one to Laffitte.

Katahara: I want you to keep 3 people, Dabi you will take care of the boss of the place Augur you will take care of a half Tiger man and Laffitte you will take care of a woman who is always flying.... While I will take care of a samurai.

Then he went back into his cabin.

System purchase, The Bloodborne Burial Blade.

[Burial Blade... Price 10,000cp]

Moments later two objects appeared, one was the handle of the scythe that was bent by a mechanism and the other object was the chichilla itself.

Katahara: Shit this looks extremely old, it looks like it would break at any moment.... But no one will be able to say anything about its lethality.

A short time later Aghata's shadow entered the domain of Thriller Bark, arriving at the banks of the bark.

Katahara came out and saw that in front of him was the kingdom of Gecko Moria.

Katahara: Druts, I need you to capture a person.

Drust: Sure captain, tell me who that person is.

Katahara: Hogback, he has a round torso, he has very thin arms and legs, his somewhat long nose resembles a beak or a knife, he is a world-renowned surgeon, he will be useful in our plans?

Drust: As you command Captain.

Katahara: Robin, would you care for our guests? .... Drust this weapon is for you.

Robin: Of course Captain, another massacre is not something we would all like to see.

Drust held up the two rusty pieces given to him by his captain.

Katahara: Drust that is a scythe that is composed of two pieces, its edge is somewhat unique so to speak.

At that moment Drust put the two pieces together and a large scythe was formed, which Drust had to grasp with his two hands.

Drust: Thank you very much captain.

After that they all reached the mainland where they were greeted by hundreds of zombies that were incinerated by Dabi.

Katahara: Now let's see where you can be? Of course it's in a tower.

Katahara started using observation rhaki and discovered Ryuma's whereabouts, she used Soria to appear in the tower.

When Katahara stopped at the tower, a sleeping Ryuma opened his eyes and stood up.

Katahara just looked at him, as Ryuma approached.

Ryuma: I hope you're ready young man, Yohohohoho.

Katahara: Go ahead, I've been waiting for this battle for a long time.

At that moment katahara unsheathed his sword and then began his battle.

Ryuma began to block all of Katahara's attacks and then counterattacked, it could be said that Katahara had an advantage thanks to his Sheringan, he could see every move of Ryuma, but for some reason he couldn't saw any of them.

They stayed like this for several minutes without being able to determine any winner.

Katahara realized that Ryuma was just as good in terms of his sword handling so he decided to use his shadow blade skill, making his sword imbibe the shadows.

But he was still no better than Ryuma who avoided every cut with only a few scratches.

Ryuma: Yohohohoho, you know why you can't beat me even if you are stronger faster, why you don't have the determination nor the will....Yohohohoho remember this, a sword without determination and will is just a kitchen knife.

What Ryuma said stopped Kataharaz in his tracks he had never thought of that one since he wielded his sword.

Ryuma: You seem to have a great sword, too bad you don't know how to wield it, Yohohohoho.

On the other hand Augur found himself in a chapel after eliminating dozens of zombies.

Van Augur: I'm sure I saw a man with the face of a lion.

Augur continued to use his observation haki to notice every detail of the chapel.

He noticed that little by little something was approaching by his sword....

*BAM*

Augur took a shot right in the chest of whatever was behind him.

Slowly what looked like a man dressed in an ankle-length coat that had a high collar and was cut off like a parapet at the bottom began to appear, He wore a round white hat with a blue marking, and had the muzzle of a lion sewn to his face, as well as long blond hair.

Van Augur: So you are. Now I know why the captain told me to go after you..... The power to become invisible.

Absalon tried to escape using his invisibility, but before he did he was stopped by a dozen shots from Augur, dying on the spot.

Augur took out the fruit given to him by his captain and placed it on Absalon's corpse.

Elsewhere inside the castle, Laffitte was murdering and butchering anything that got in his way.

Soon he came to a room full of stuffed animals.

He saw a short young girl with unusually large round eyes, and she has long light pink hair that she keeps tied in two pigtails with black and white flower hairpins.

Perona: Horohorohorohorohorohoro ...You shouldn't mess with me, you fool.

Laffitte: But what a nice lady.

As he approached her twirling his cane.

Laffitte: It's a pity that the captain wants your fruit, you are quite a beauty I must say miss.

Perona ignored what Laffitte said and threw 4 ghosts at him.

Laffitte just used Soru and appeared behind her kicking her so hard that Perona broke through a wall of the place.

Laffitte: A pity... Truly a pity.

As she approached Perona who was lying on the ground in the middle of the rubble.

Laffitte pulled out a gun and pointed it at Perona's head.

*BAM!

Perona died on the spot, then he took out the fruit that his captain gave him and put it on Perona's corpse.

A few minutes passed and the fruit changed, then Laffitte grabbed it and felt a wave of energy throughout the place.

In another part of the castle Drust was cutting in half every zombie he saw with his new scythe, he still couldn't find Hogback, he was walking around the castle until he started to hear explosions, he killed every zombie he could find, and the ones he couldn't cut he simply imbued with a new corrosive poison, killing the zombies.

Drust: This looks like an emergency room.

As he was walking he noticed that some zombies were trying to sneak up on him while a man was trying to escape.

Drust then used Soru and appeared behind the zombies and decapitated them and then pointed his scythe at Hogback.

Katahara: Trying to escape

Hogback: Who... Katahara: You are.

Drust: You're lucky Hogback, my captain wants you alive, apparently being a world famous surgeon saved your life.

At that moment he felt an invisible wave that made Hogback faint and Drust felt a little dizzy.

Drust: What the fuck was that, I better get out of here quick and regroup with the others.

At that moment Drust carried Hogback's unconscious body and left the place using Soru and Geppo.

Elsewhere with Dabi who was burning everything around him. Until he was attacked by a shadow but it wasn't enough and only went through him.

Dabi: Gecko Moria

Moria is an abnormally large humanoid creature with very distinct devilish features. She measures 692 cm, has two horns protruding from the sides of her forehead and stitches running vertically from the top of her face to her neck, which is quite long and thick compared to her body. Its ears and teeth are pointed.

Gecko Moria: Kishishishishishi... It seems that Blacks Crows are more than what is known...Kishishishishishi.

Dabi: An ant like you can only feed my fire.

Gecko Moria: Kishishishishishi, your shadow will serve me to make a stronger zombie.... But your captain Kishishishi's will give me a perfect zombie.

But before he could continue speaking a giant flare against Gecko Moria.

Gecko Moria: Damn you, didn't I ever teach you to let people talk?

Dabi continues throwing flames of fire at Morian.

Gecko Moria: Doppelmam.

Morian summoned his shadow to protect him, while he tried to take Dabi's shadow, but he realized that with all the light that Dabi's fire was causing, he couldn't take his shadow.

Gecko Moria: So a logia type fruit user, this complicates everything, if I don't use water to catch him it will be impossible.

As he continued to watch Dabi hit his shadow until Dabi caused great damage to Moria's shadow causing it to retract its shadow.

Gecko Moria: Tsuno-Tokage

Causing his shadow to turn into a weapon, in particular a knife.

Dabi: Entei

Dabi started to generate a larger amount of fire to form a huge fireball.

But at that moment both Dabi and Moria felt a wave of energyz that caused the two to stop their attacks.

Gecko Moria: Who... Who... You just woke him up, King's haki.

Gecko Moria: Damn you, didn't I ever teach you to let people talk?

Dabi continues throwing flames of fire at Morian.

Gecko Moria: Doppelmam.

Morian summoned his shadow to protect him, while he tried to take Dabi's shadow, but he realized that with all the light that Dabi's fire was causing, he couldn't take his shadow.

Gecko Moria: So a logia type fruit user, this complicates everything, if I don't use water to catch him it will be impossible.

As he continued to watch Dabi hit his shadow until Dabi caused great damage to Moria's shadow causing it to retract its shadow.

Gecko Moria: Tsuno-Tokage

Causing his shadow to turn into a weapon, in particular a knife.

Dabi: Entei

Dabi started to generate a larger amount of fire to form a huge fireball.

But at that moment both Dabi and Moria felt a wave of energyz that caused the two to stop their attacks.

Gecko Moria: Who... Who... You just woke him up, Conqueror's haki.
