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

Chapter 192 Battle with Orochimaru

Minos's towering figure stood there, radiating an invisible sense of oppression.

Not far away, Orochimaru and Kabuto were having a long, incessant conversation.

The sharp yet slightly feminine voice echoed through the square, making Minos's already agitated mood even worse.

Minos's brows furrowed deeply, like two small mountains about to erupt, a flash of impatient glint in his eyes. Finally, he could no longer bear it and roared, "You two reckless vipers, you are truly courting death!"

The voice was as loud as a bell, carrying boundless majesty and anger, as if it would shatter the entire space.

As soon as he finished speaking, Minos's body moved instantly. His speed was extremely fast, like a black lightning bolt, and he disappeared from the spot in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, his tall figure appeared in front of Orochimaru and Kabuto.

The resulting airflow created a small storm, sending sand and gravel flying everywhere.

Orochimaru and Kabuto were shocked by this sudden turn of events, their expressions changing drastically.

Their previously relaxed and carefree expressions were instantly replaced by solemnity.

The two stared wide-eyed at the towering giant who had appeared like a ghost, their hearts filled with shock.

They never expected that the guy in front of them would be so fast, so fast that they barely had time to react.

Minos looked down at the shocked Orochimaru and Kabuto, a wicked smile slowly creeping onto his lips, a smile full of mockery and disdain.

Then, he slowly raised his right hand, and black Armament Haki, like surging black flames, instantly enveloped his fist.

Its domineering aura was so overwhelming that the surrounding air was distorted and deformed by its powerful force.

Under Orochimaru's horrified gaze, Minos suddenly exerted his strength and threw a powerful punch at Orochimaru.

This punch contained boundless power, as if it were about to completely destroy everything in front of it.

With a loud "bang," like a cannonball exploding, the sound echoed endlessly in this space.

Orochimaru's body flew out at an extremely fast speed, like a cannonball being fired.

He traced a long arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

The ground was instantly smashed into a huge crater, and smoke and dust billowed up, completely enveloping Orochimaru's figure.

Orochimaru lay on the ground, his body rolling uncontrollably, the dust he kicked up resembling a winding yellow dragon.

Orochimaru's body only gradually came to a stop after he had rolled dozens of meters away.

At this moment, Minos remained in the posture of throwing a punch, like a statue.

His resolute face remained expressionless, only the slight rise and fall of his chest revealed the dashing style of his casual strike.

This scene seemed to freeze everything around us, making us wonder if what had just happened was real.

Minos's lips curled up slightly, a hint of smugness in his eyes.

He turned to look at Orochi Kabuto, whose face was filled with astonishment, and smiled slightly, a hint of provocation in his smile, and said, "What, you seem quite surprised? Where did your haughty attitude go?"

After saying that, Minos moved again before Orochi Kabuto could react.

His speed was still astonishing; he vanished from his spot in an instant like a ghost, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Orochi Kabuto.

He raised his fist again, a strange light flashing on it, and then struck Orochi's back with great force.

With a loud bang, another loud noise followed.

Orochi Kabuto's body was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.

He struggled in the air, trying to steady himself, but to no avail.

Finally, just like Orochimaru, he slammed heavily to the ground, then rolled around on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Before anyone knew it, Cheng Xiaoyu arrived beside Minos.

Looking at the chaotic scene before him, he frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Why do they seem a little weak? I even doubt whether they are the famous Orochimaru and Kabuto."

Minos chuckled upon hearing Cheng Xiaoyu's questioning words beside him, his voice carrying a hint of confidence and composure as he said, "Their vitality is quite strong; this injury shouldn't be enough to kill them."

"After all, they are renowned figures in the ninja world. The important thing now is for you to have the Shadow Soldiers put away the live Den Den Mushi! We can't let the people of the One Piece world know what's happening here so easily."

"Okay, I understand. I'll have the Shadow Soldiers put away the live Den Den Mushi right away."

Cheng Xiaoyu nodded, then whispered a few words to the shadowy soldiers in the sky.

The shadow soldier seemed to understand his words and slowly put away the live Den Den Mushi.

Minos nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this, saying, "As long as we know it, that's fine."

After all, it's better for the secrets of the ninja world to be kept by a select few.

At this point, Minos's tone became involuntarily excited.

His eyes gleamed with excitement as he thought to himself, "To think I'd encountered an invasion of the ninja world. Does this mean I'll truly be able to travel through the heavens and explore more unknown worlds in the future?"

Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel excited upon hearing Minos's words. An irrepressible look of excitement appeared on his face, because it meant that their future was full of infinite possibilities.

They might be able to travel between different worlds, witnessing all sorts of magical powers and wondrous sights.

Just then, as time passed, the pervasive dust gradually dissipated.

Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu turned their gazes to the distance again, where Orochimaru and Kabuto emerged disheveled from the smoke and dust.

At this moment, their robes were tattered and torn, their once neat attire now ragged and fluttering in the wind.

His face was colder than ever before, and his eyes seemed to burn with the flames of anger, sending chills down one's spine.

Minos looked at their cold eyes, a faint smile playing on his lips, a smile full of mockery. He said, "You two look a little disheveled. What, all your arrogance from before has vanished?"

Cheng Xiaoyu, who was standing to the side, chuckled and chimed in, "Yeah, right? Just a moment ago they were all high and mighty, and now they're all so pathetic. It's utterly ridiculous!"

Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu's words were like two sharp blades, piercing straight into the hearts of Orochimaru and Kabuto.

Their expressions instantly darkened, and the coldness in their eyes intensified.

They never expected that this unknown guy would be so powerful. In just a moment, they were sent flying and suffered such humiliation.

Although neither of them suffered any serious injuries, this humiliating blow ignited a burning anger within them.

Orochi Kabuto's venomous gaze was fixed on Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu, his eyes filled with resentment.

He spoke in a low voice, "Lord Orochimaru, it seems we underestimated these two guys?"

Orochi's voice was filled with a hint of gritted teeth and hatred, as if he wanted to devour Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu alive.

"It seems we must teach them a lesson so they'll know our power and the consequences of angering us!"

Orochi Kabuto continued, his body trembling slightly, clearly blinded by rage.

Orochimaru, standing to the side, also stared intently at Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu with eyes as sharp as a venomous snake.

His eyes flashed with boundless killing intent, and he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Kabuto, you're right. We have to teach them a lesson they won't be afraid of. They dared to be so arrogant in front of us; they must pay the price!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the part of Orochimaru's body beneath his feet instantly changed, transforming into a thick, giant snake.

The snake's scales shimmered with an eerie light, as if covered by a layer of mysterious power.

However, his upper body remained unchanged, and his pale face was filled with an even more ferocious look in his eyes.

Then Orochimaru spoke hoarsely to Kabuto beside him: "Kabuto, let's each take one of them and quickly finish them off. Let them know that the strong in the ninja world are not to be trifled with!"

After saying this, Orochimaru swung his snake tail and attacked Minos at an extremely fast speed.

The snake's tail left deep marks on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Meanwhile, Kabuto, watching Orochimaru's attack, chuckled softly, a hint of malice in his smile.

He said in a low voice, "Lord Orochimaru is still as decisive as ever."

After saying that, Kabuto's body also changed, and his lower body turned into a snake tail.

He twisted his snake tail and sped off towards Cheng Xiaoyu at an astonishing speed.

Minos saw Orochimaru approaching him and a disdainful smile appeared on his lips.

He thought to himself, anyone who is familiar with Naruto knows that Orochimaru has a fatal weakness: genjutsu is a deadly counter to Orochimaru.

The casting of illusions requires strong mental strength.

So, what would happen if Orochimaru were to be attacked with Conqueror's Haki?

With this in mind, Minos's eyes hardened, and he decided to let Orochimaru try out this powerful mental attack unique to the pirate world.

P.S.: I'll try my best tomorrow. (◣_◢)
