Chapter 137: The Iron's Last Fight

Chapter 137: The Iron's Last Fight

Cricket still hasn't finished fighting his battle against Nando. Well, his opponent is the strongest among the Iron Shovels. So it won't be easy to fight Nando, even for Cricket.

Nando swings his haki covered iron shovel toward Cricket at a fast speed from every direction. Cricket counters Nando's attacks with his haki covered punches. They clash many times in a few seconds and the impacts of their clashes are big.

As they clashes, Cricket sees a chance when Nando swings his iron shovel diagonally from up left. Cricket evade to the left and then thrust his left hand like a spear at Nando's chest.

"You're wide open," says Cricket while smirking.

"Damn," curses Nando as Cricket's hand moves toward his chest.

*BAM*

Nando can't move his iron shovel to block it at the right time, so he covers his chest with armament haki to defend Cricket's attack. Cricket's punch flings Nando a few meters back but he can stabilize himself and he slides on the floor.

Cricket doesn't wait and rushes at Nando with an attack ready. Seeing Cricket rushing to him, Nando also prepares his move. When Cricket sends a big straight punch, Nando swings his iron shovel to parry it from below.

"Don't push your luck, rookie!" says Nando angrily.

Nando slides forward and uses the shovel's handle to hit Cricket's jaw. It hits Cricket but he spins his body to reduce the damage. He spins in full motion and attacks Nando again with a swing of his hand.

But his attack gets blocked by Nando's iron shovel. They start to clash again at close range. Both of them hit and get hit by the other as they clash. Their battle makes them seem equal, but it's not the case.

The number of hits is similar, but the damages inflicted are different. Cricket inflicts more damage and receives less than Nando. His attacks are stronger and his body is tougher than the Iron Shovel Captain.

Even their armament haki's hardness is different. Cricket's haki is harder than Nando's even though Nando has learned haki before Cricket. But Cricket trained his haki more than Nando, their hard work is different.

Cricket then starts to use hasshoken on each of his attacks. It makes his attacks stronger even with the same strength. He forced Nando to exert more strength to match Cricket's attacks.

But Cricket's strong attacks are still a tad stronger. He pushes Nando slowly, forcing the guy to step back little by little. Cricket also punches rapidly and Nando can't find any gap.

"What's wrong, veteran? Have a difficult time fighting this rookie? Where's your big mouth now?" asks Cricket mockingly.

"Tch, don't get too full of yourself!" says Nando angrily even though he is really having a difficult time fighting against Cricket.

It made the man pissed and chased Ruff around with his metal bat. The weaponized slaves want to help, but they don't know what to do. So Ruff fights alone, although it doesn't really look like a fight.

As he gets chased, Ruff drops some small brown balls. The man steps on the balls and slips then fall on the floor. The brown balls popped as they get stepped on and brown oil come out of them.

"What the hell is this?" asks the man as he tries to stand up but always slipped and falls.

Ruff throws more brown balls toward the man and they popped, releasing more oil. The man finally gets covered fully in brown oil and Ruff laughs like a maniac.

"Huahahaha, my plan has worked. Metal-bat-man, you are a good opponent, but you are not smart enough. With this, I will finish our battle," says Ruff as he takes out a wooden lighter.

The metal-bat-man sees the lighter and widens his eyes. He tries to get away frantically, but he always gets slipped and falls. Ruff laughs maniacally seeing that and sets the lighter on before throwing it to the oil.

The oil gets burn and the flame spread fast. Then the fire also burns the man who has been covered fully in the oil. He wants to run, but still gets slipped by the remaining oil on the floor. He finally can run after the oil on the floor gets burnt completely, so he runs and jumps to the sea.

The fire finally died down after he dived in the water. But when he resurfaced, Ruff has waited for him with an attack ready. Ruff shoots his hand cannon and shoots multiple times toward the man.

The Buggy Cannonballs hit the man and explode right on his face. Some big explosions happen on the sea surface and water splash around. When the explosions stop and subside down, the metal-bat-man is floating unconsciously on the sea.

"HUAHAHAHA, GOOD WORK, MY BABIES!" says Ruff loudly like a maniac.
