Chapter 264: Fatty & Skelly

Chapter 264: Fatty & Skelly

The team match Manba & Brook vs the twin knights starts to get interesting. Manba is focusing on defense while Brook is on offense. Even though Manba isn't used to defending, he is quite good at it.

Manba just uses a spear but he can hold against his opponent's shield & sword. He blocks all the shield attacks and evades the sword attacks. Well, to call it blocking is quite strange because all the shield attacks that he received seem to get absorbed as no impact was created by their clashes.

"Damn, what happened? My shield attacks aren't working and it doesn't even push him. It's as if I'm attacking a soft sponge," says Billy the Bearman.

"It must be his skill or maybe a devil fruit ability. Anyway, we just need to keep attacking them and find a way to win," says Millie, the cheetah-woman.

"Alright, that's the best plan for now," says Billy as he rushes at Manba.

Manba blocks Billy's shield with his spear again and says, "I heard you want to find a way to defeat us. Well, I hope you'll succeed before you get defeated yourself."

"Tch, don't get too full of yourself!" shouts Billy while swinging his sword at Manba.

Manba dodges the sword and coats his arms with A-Haki. Then he holds his spear beside him, ready to thrust it at Billy.

"I hope you're sturdy enough to try my weapon's new power. Impact!" says Manba as he thrust his spear at Billy.

Billy blocks the spear with his shield that has been covered by A-Haki.

*BOOM*

The clash of Manba's spear & Billy's shield surprisingly makes a big explosion. Of course, the explosion is going toward Billy's side and engulfs him. Well, to call it an explosion is not right because it's actually an impact.

"The Impact Dials work really well," says Manba as he looks at his spear.

That's right, there are some Impact Dials installed in Manba's spear. There are also some Axe Dials that can absorb sharp attacks. Ruff was the one who made this concept and Gil created the weapon.

The Dials were the ones causing Billy's attack to get nullified. Manba has stored a lot of impact energy from Billy's attacks and releases it at once. Ruff has made it so that the impact will be released from the tip of the spear with some mechanisms.

"BILLY!" shouts Millie as she quickly withdraws from her fight against Brook to check on her twin brother.

Billy is lying on the floor without his armor & shield that get destroyed by Manba's attack. But he is still pretty much intact because he protected his body with Haki at the right time. His Bear devil fruit ability also make him a lot tougher and helped him defend against Manba's attack.

Manba grins and runs to attack the twins by himself. He is very fast even though he is fat and he can reach the twins' position in a short time. The twins attack Manba at the same time but none of their attacks land on him.

'How could he be so agile with that body. I am very proud of my speed after I get the power of a cheetah. But this guy can dodge all my fast attacks easily even though Billy also helps me. Is he also have a speed-type devil fruit power?' thinks Millie in disbelief.

"I don't know what you really think but I think I understand. If you think I am a devil fruit user then you are wrong because I am not," says Manba while evading.

Millie widens her eyes before she shouts, "NO WAY! That kind of movement isn't possible without devil fruit abilities."

Manba grins and says, "Well, it's up to you to believe it or not. I'm just telling you the truth. Even if I look like this, I am very confident in my agility and my Observation Haki, you know. Also, I don't think you have the time to worry about me."

After Manba said that, he jumps to the side and the twins can see Brook has gotten closer with a strong freezing aura around him. He holds his sword on his left side, still sheathes in its scabbard.

Brook pulls the sword a little and says, "Phrase d'armes: Orchestra!"

He pulls the sword really fast and swings it in a difficult motion. When he finishes, a G-clef shape appears from his sword trajectory. It moves toward the twins and hit them at the same time before freezing their bodies.

But it's still not enough to defeat them and someone has anticipated it. Manba runs from the side and moves past their front while swinging his spear horizontally. He cuts their torso and blood spurts from their bodies but it freezes immediately because of Brook's freezing aura attack.

The twins lost consciousness as their front bodies freeze completely after the freezing aura spread. Brook & Manba's combined attacks have defeated the twins without much trouble.
