One Piece: Obtaining the Black Dragon King Fruit at the Start

Chapter 101 Dragon Slayer Magic Shows Its Power

Minos said helplessly, "It seems we have no choice but to use Dragon Slayer Magic."

As soon as he finished speaking, blackish-purple energy appeared on Minos's body.

Minos's sudden change alerted the three people standing nearby.

Kizaru asked seriously, "What is this? Why do I feel a sense of unease?"

Garp's face was also very serious at this moment: "This thing is terrifying. If you accidentally touch it, you may suffer serious injury."

Rayleigh stood guard, thinking to himself, "I didn't expect that brat Minos to be so cunning. If I'm not careful, I might get tricked."

Minos smiled at the solemn expressions of Garp and the others: "This is just a special kind of energy. Now you can enjoy it."

With a swift movement, Minos vanished from his spot and appeared directly beside Rayleigh, his dark purple fist slamming towards Rayleigh's back.

In Minos's eyes, Rayleigh seemed to have eyes. He turned around, and his Ryuo Haki appeared on his fist, colliding with it instantly.

Minos smiled slightly at the sight, knowing that Rayleigh had no idea about the effects of Dragon Slayer Magic.

With a loud bang, Rayleigh was sent flying by a punch, much to the disbelief of Garp and Kizaru.

The smoke cleared instantly, and Rayleigh's figure appeared before everyone.

However, the area where Rayleigh was hit by the dark purple energy seemed to have had its life force absorbed, becoming withered and dry.

Moreover, Rayleigh's body was also severely injured by the heavy punch.

Minos looked at the pained Rayleigh and laughed loudly, "I knew it! My Dragon Slayer Magic isn't just about absorbing physical attacks; I didn't know it could do this too!"

Rayleigh lay on the ground in agony, feeling as if much of his Ryuo Haki had been absorbed the instant he came into contact with the black energy.

Most importantly, a significant portion of his own vital energy had been absorbed. Rayleigh slowly stood up, his expression grave, and said, "Minos, your energy is far too evil. You will be devoured by it sooner or later."

Minos laughed loudly after hearing Rayleigh's words: "I think this dark energy is very powerful. It's a good thing in my hands."

Meanwhile, Garp said in a deep voice, "Minos, you little brat, you are indeed too evil. Today I will definitely capture you and put you in Impel Down."

Minos looked away from Garp and smiled slightly: "Do you know what I hate most about your navy?"

Rayleigh, clutching his wound, along with Garp and Kizaru, looked at Minos with serious expressions, listening to what he was about to say.

Minos looked at Garp quietly and said coldly, "That's because your navy is too hypocritical and too arrogant."

Before Garp and Kizaru could refute, Minos continued, "Saying that everyone has their own sense of justice is just an excuse."

Minos's words made the atmosphere on the battlefield even more tense, and no one spoke for a long time.

Minos looked at Garp and Kizaru, whose faces were grim, and was about to say something when Garp interrupted him.

Minos glared at Garp, who roared angrily, "Minos brat, what do you know! If it weren't for our Navy, the people of the pirate world would have suffered countless disasters."

Garp continued, "Minos brat, you don't understand anything at all. You're not qualified to talk about our Navy!"

Kizaru was also quietly watching Minos. Admittedly, there were indeed many corrupt Marines, but that was not the reason why Minos could speak so ill of them.

Minos coldly stared at Garp: "If you say the Navy is so good, then why are so many civilians going to sea? And why do Navy officers collude with pirates to embezzle and oppress other civilians?"

After Minos said this, Garp and Kizaru's faces became even uglier.

What Minos said at that moment was indeed true, and neither of them could refute it.

"Putting aside the facts, isn't Minos right too?!" (⌒▽⌒)

Minos slaughtered so many of our navy soldiers, destroyed islands, ruined towns, killed Onigumo, and injured Chaton and Aokiji. Doesn't all of this have anything to do with him?

Minos looked at Garp and Kizaru, whose faces were grim, and said loudly, "Since everyone has their own opinions, let's settle this with strength!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Minos vanished from his spot and appeared beside Garp. His dark purple fist slammed down towards Garp.

As Minos disappeared, a red light flashed in Garp's eyes. He scanned the area with his Observation Haki and saw Minos appear behind him.

Garp clenched his fist, his Ryuo Haki enveloping it, and forcefully collided with Minos's fist.

Minos was secretly delighted to see this. "That old bastard Garp, he really wants to go head-to-head with me?"

Sure enough, Minos felt Garp's energy flowing into his body, transforming into dark magic under the transformation of Dragon Slayer Magic.

Minos could sense it, and Garp could naturally sense his own Haki dissipating.

Just as Minos was secretly pleased, he suddenly saw Garp avoid him directly, instead of confronting him head-on.

Minos's fist slammed into the ground, instantly creating a deep crater and tearing the ground apart layer by layer.

Dust filled the air, and Minos watched Karp silently through it.

Minos thought to himself, "As expected of that old guy Garp. After discovering that I could absorb Ryuo, he decisively canceled the head-on confrontation with himself."

Garp retreated to Kizaru's side, his expression grave as he looked at Minos in the dust.

Kizaru noticed Garp's serious expression and asked, "Vice Admiral Garp, what exactly is that dark purple energy of Minos?"

Garp stared intently at the dust, and said seriously, "The black-purple energy used by that brat Minos is indeed very evil; it can actually absorb my Armament Haki. No wonder that old man Rayleigh was ambushed by Minos."

After hearing Garp's words, Kizaru's expression also turned serious. He turned to look at Rayleigh, who was clutching his emaciated body not far away, and said in a deep voice, "That's troublesome! We can't let Minos get near us."

Garp nodded, but his gaze remained fixed on Minos in the dust.

Minos emerged from the dust and looked at Garp, whose face was grave, and said coldly, "What, Vice Admiral Garp, you're not going to fight me head-on? That's really unbecoming of your reputation as Iron Fist Garp!"

Minos stared coldly at Garp, having deliberately provoked the old man into a head-on confrontation.

In that case, he would secretly use Dragon Slayer Magic to take him down.

However, the battle-hardened Garp would not fall for his trick.

Minos saw Garp sneer at him and said, "Minos brat, you're still a long way from provoking me!"

Minos was somewhat disappointed upon hearing Garp's words. Indeed, provoking that old man Garp was proving quite difficult.
