Chapter 88 Welcome to the Forest of Binding!
Two days later.
A dense forest on an island in the first half of the Grand Line.
"Hahaha! Hisoka, I finally caught you! I won't be careless this time!"
A thin man with blond hair that reached his shoulders and was tied up randomly with a string laughed loudly.
He is Gabaisho, the monster who escaped from Impel down.
After the entire jailbreak group fell apart.
He started to take action towards Hisoka.
It's just that the war took a lot of consumption, and Hisoka's ability was very confusing, so Hisoka was able to run away from him.
After that, he followed Hisoka's trail while recovering his physical strength.
He was soon cornered on another island.
This time he had no problem, he just pressed Hisoka and hit him, making him dodge in a panic, but in the end, Hisoka still managed to escape.
The reason was that he didn't expect a giant eagle to suddenly appear.
He took Hisoka and flew away.
This made Gabaisho very crazy. How could he let it slide?
This time, he robbed the ship and chased Hisoka based on his traces for more than a week before finally blocking Hisoka here.
No one can help him to run away.
If that bird dares to appear again! He promised to kill him with a scythe.
"Oh my! The fruit can actually chase people! This is so gratifying!"
At this time, on the branch of a big tree.
Hisoka sat casually on it and leaned against the trunk, looking leisurely at Gabaisho who was holding a scythe not far away.
Seeing his impatient look, Hisoka couldn't help but smile with relief.
If only all fruits were as positive as Gabaisho.
He can wake up with a smile!
When Hisoka smiled.
Not far away, something felt wrong about Gabaisho.
This kind of breath feels different from before.
Gabaisho is very clever.
Because Hisoka's ability to confuse and disguise is too strong, and his own aura is very obscure.
Therefore, Gabaisho must concentrate and project most of his energy on him.
Otherwise, Hisoka could easily slip away from him if he wasn't careful.
Because of this, Gabaisho was extremely sensitive to Hisoka's aura.
He could feel some subtle changes in Hisoka's aura in front of him.
This feeling seems to be getting stronger?
So, have you been hiding from me these days for the purpose of practicing?
Gabaisho didn't think too much, and a wanton smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It's better that he become stronger! Otherwise, it will not be fun to chop him up if he is too weak!
It's only a little over a week but less than two weeks.
How much stronger can he become?
Gabaisho didn't continue talking nonsense.
He picked up the scythe and launched a basic attack towards Hisoka who was not far away.
Boom!
Boom!
The big tree where Hisoka was standing, along with a dozen or so big trees next to it and behind it, were directly cut down.
The upper half of the tree flew directly into the air due to the impact of the slash.
Hisoka also dodged the attack and crouched on top of a flying tree.
"You are so irritable! Gabaisho, I will be sad if you do this..."
Hearing Hisoka's words in mid-air, Gabaisho squatted slightly while holding the huge sickle.
Just laugh wantonly.
"Who cares about you! Die!"
The whole person also shot towards Hisoka.
He quickly waved the scythe in his hands in the air, gathering enough strength in just an instant.
"Death Scythe? Three Phases"
It was like three slashes of cold light in a triangle shape blocking Hisoka.
He saw Hisoka standing in mid-air in a daze, as if he couldn't react.
The three slashes instantly cut Hisoka into several pieces.
Gabaisho ignored Hisoka in front of him.
He could already feel Hisoka's aura bursting to the other side.
The guy in front of me must be an illusion.
Call Out!
Just as Gabaisho was about to chase Hisoka with Moonwalk (Geppō).
In particular, the collision process was so fast that the trees that had not yet fallen completely suddenly stopped falling.
Then it shot towards Gabaisho's position.
This is?
The tree that Gabaisho was facing suddenly flashed slightly.
Easily avoided these trees.
That broken phantom is coming along too?
Gabaisho was a little confused!
But he didn't care so much!
The observation Haki firmly locked onto Hisoka's true form, which was right there.
No matter how you hide, you will be exposed by my observation!
"Little Fruit, let me tell you the first truth. You can never be careless at any time!"
When Gabaisho was about to chase after Hisoka's real body.
The phantom that he slightly dodged gathered together, suddenly hugged him and spoke.
At this time, Gabaisho was shocked.
He knew that the phantom could speak.
It's just that the phantom in front of me actually has substance.
This made him feel bad!
It hit him directly and caught him off guard.
Even the Future Sight ability that Gabaisho possesses to foresee the future is a bit difficult to deal with.
To predict the future, the essence is to capture and deduce the sounds made by living things.
Only people with extremely high spiritual talents can achieve it.
But the aura of Hisoka that Gabaisho is facing now is very obscure.
It took a lot of his energy just to capture Hisoka's aura.
It is somewhat difficult to predict the future again.
Only some kind of instantaneous life-and-death crisis could trigger the instinct to overclock.
But apparently there is no direct life-and-death crisis this time.
At this time, the phantom that bound Gabaisho, which should be said to be Hisoka's clone, had begun to melt.
Then it spread out to form circles on Gabaisho's legs, wrists and neck.
Gabaisho only felt that these circles began to transmit a huge force that seemed to separate his hands, feet and neck.
He was forced to transform into a large character shape in mid-air and float in the air.
"What is this?"
The sudden change made Gabaisho no longer pay attention to Hisoka's true form.
He fully used his Observation Haki and finally "saw" the sticky-looking energy bars connected to the circles on his body.
So dense!!
The other ends of those energy bars are connected to the surrounding trees.
"Welcome to the Forest of Binding! Gabaisho!"
