=========================================
Accompanied by Noir's roar, the surrounding villagers seemed to be enraged as well.
"How dare you insult the high priest! Kill them!"
"Skin them alive! Offer their skins to the High Priest!"
At the mention of the so-called High Priest, the villagers became even more ferocious, brandishing their weapons as they charged forward.
Ace couldn't hold back any longer and charged in, fists raised. Deuce and Skull also drew their flintlocks and began firing, fighting back.
But one figure was moving faster than all of them. Noir, sword at the ready, bent his body and charged into the crowd, reaching the villagers in an instant.
As the villagers looked on in horror, Noir grabbed the hilt of his sword and unleashed a mighty slash!
The famous rapid draw technique of Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu!
"Dragon's Nest Flash!" The cold words fell, and Noir's blade quickly unsheathed and disappeared into the air.
Lights and shadows flickered as Noir unleashed dozens of swift slashes in a matter of seconds. Many enemies didn't even realize where the attacks had landed before mortal wounds appeared on their bodies!
"Ah!"
Only as the pain spread did the injured react, instantly collapsing in droves!
"So... so powerful!"
Deuce and Skull looked at Noir, who resembled a war god, and stammered in shock.
Ace's eyes sparkled with excitement as he exclaimed, "Noir is indeed strong!"
The villagers, intimidated by Noir's display, hesitated to move forward. At that moment, an old voice suddenly rang out.
"Outsiders! You are courting death!"
Noir looked toward the voice and saw an old man with a sinister expression, white hair, and a beard approaching.
The villagers, overjoyed, made way for the old man, shouting, "The High Priest is here!"
"High Priest, punish them!"
"Burn the outsiders to ashes with heavenly fire!"
Hearing the villagers 'kiss ass' praise, the old man's face showed an arrogant expression. He scornfully addressed Noir and the others, "Boy, if you know what's good for you, surrender and become my food!
Ace, unable to contain himself, cursed, "Bullshit, go suck your milk!"
After cursing, Ace charged forward again. Having been overshadowed by Noir earlier, he was eager for a good fight!
Noir smiled at him, "It's called Haki. I'll teach you later..."
"Really?! That'd be awesome!"
As they chatted, a muffled voice came from under Noir's foot, "Don't get cocky, bastard! I'm not dead yet!"
The High Priest, in a fit of rage, turned into flames and scattered, avoiding Noir's "demonic" foot. He yelled, "You've made me angry, brat!"
Ace tugged at his ear, "He said you made him angry, Noir."
"Oh?" Noir replied casually, "Well, ain't I great?"
...
Fervent followers of the High Priest, the villagers looked as if they had swallowed dung, while Deuce and Skull stifled their laughter.
The high priest, driven mad by the disrespect, unleashed his fire abilities.
With his hands raised above his head, he channeled fiery streams into his palms, forming a small sun-like fireball.
The orange-red glow intensified, and the hot air blasted everyone present.
The villagers, seeing the High Priest's magnificent fireball, chanted fanatically:
"The High Priest is invincible!"
"The High Priest is invincible!"
The High Priest's face turned purple-red as he pushed himself to the limit, but he still flaunted his power: "Die, you bastards! This is the power of the gods!"
But under the firelight, Ace showed no fear, and Noir picked his nose boredly.
That ability, with all its posing, must be easy to dodge, right?
Ace thought.
Noir had a simpler thought:
This old man took forever to charge up, only to produce a weak imitation of the Great Flame Commandment, Flame Emperor.
