Chapter 77 - 77 Gladius Vs. Will
Under Robin's leadership, Will and the others came directly to an ancient castle.
No need to ask, they knew that this castle was definitely not the property of Doflamingo, and the original owner here might just be driven out to save his own life if he was lucky, but if he was unlucky...
"You guys just wait for me outside, I'll go in and take a look."
Will was not interested in becoming someone's 'parasite', and the only thing he thought of was to "Rob them!"
Nami and the others also knew that they would be adding to the chaos by going in, so they might as well stay outside, so they gave a hmmm and found a place nearby to hide, and then watched Will step into the castle by himself.
And then the next second they were startled by a huge explosion!
"Damn! So prepared? You actually planted a bomb at the door!"
Will's exasperated voice came out, causing Nami and the others to sigh a relief together. .
Will's mood was really not beautiful at this time, but fortunately, he had manifested his Infinity Gauntlet in advance, and after noticing the inflatable bulge that began to form under his feet, he immediately turned on the elementalization of the Sand Fruit, and was able to escape!
But also through this Will recognizes the cadre sent here by Doflamingo since the only one who has this explosive devil fruit in his family is -Gladius.
Just at this time, he heard the sound of footsteps coming.
"Being able to dodge my explosion, it seems you are the final victor?"
A strange man with a 'Super Saiyan' hairstyle, a mask with round lenses on his face, and a long dark blue trench coat with gears and other metal decorations appeared in Will's vision.
It really was him!
Will laughed, and the depression he felt when he entered the door was already gone.
It seemed that this trip would yield at least one explosive fruit in addition to that unknown devil fruit, which could be much more useful than that bomb devil fruit.
"What are you laughing at? No, something is wrong! Why are there still sounds of fighting outside?"
"Aren't there two executives here? Where is the other one?"
Will didn't rush into action but wanted to identify the other person first.
But Gladius was already in anger mode...
"Very well, looks like another guy who came to die!"
"How dare you set foot here without fulfilling the young master's conditions, I will blow you to pieces!"
With his strong temper, he hates it the most when his plan is not going according to plan, and the face of Gladius is already full of veins!
"Mine Bomb!"
Gladius merely touched the ground with his hand, and the explosive mechanism he had already set up with his ability was instantly activated!
Seeing that the surrounding ground and even the walls were turning on the 'inflatable bulge', Will didn't say a word and turned on the elementalization again, and then there was a continuous roaring sound!
After dozens of explosions, Gladius stopped his attack and snorted coldly.
Under this explosive power, even those with the devil fruit ability of the zoan type will have their body tattered!
But after the smoke dissipated, his eyes condensed slightly, and the man was standing there unharmed.
With that stunned moment, Will didn't give time to react as he appeared in front of Gladius in a flash, and Will left hand condensed into a two-meter-long 'scimitar' as he swung it!
Clang!
Gladius reacted on time as he stretched out his arms in front of him and wrapped it in his arms haki as it turned black, blocking the blow!
But blood still dripped from his arm as his Haki didn't fully protect him completely!
The explosive power of the slippery fruit combined with the enhanced sharpness of the slicing fruit allowed the desert scimitar to break through his not-so-powerful armed coloured haki as it cut a slightly shallow wound on Gladius arm!
If Gladius had not decisively used his armament haki, the blow would have been enough to cut him down!
"Exploding Hair!"
In anger, Gladius shot his poisoned hair with a blasting method when Will's "golden knife" in his right hand was cut!
Will, who didn't want to turn the boat upside down, immediately elementalized and dodged, while Gladius also took advantage of this gap to quickly pull away.
"Logia Devil Fruit? Who the hell are you!"
Gladius, who had regained his footing, looked at Will in disbelief, having a young lord who was also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Crocodile who has the sand devil fruit with his fame was still somewhat known to him.
And now the man standing in front of him was using an ability that was far too similar to Crocodile's sand fruit!
Then he remembered what the young lord had told them before he carried out this plan.
"I'm going to go to the naval headquarters, I heard that Crocodile was killed, Fufufufufu ...."
...
But even if Crocodile was taken out by the man in front of him, isn't he too lucky to find the devil fruit of Crocodile that reappeared in this world!
Due to the limitation of common sense, Gladius could only make this judgment.
"Crocodile was killed by you, right? State your purpose, Captain of 'FACELESS PIRATES' Will!"
"Knowing it so quickly, it seems that Doflamingo's intelligence skills are not to be underestimated."
After running his eyes over the ground a little, he grinned again and continued.
"As for the purpose... I'll take your devil's fruit!"
"Desert Sword!"
Gladius subconsciously dodged, but the next thing he realized was that Will's attack wasn't aimed at him, but his back!
"Not good! Señor don't come out!"
Suddenly emerging from the ground behind Will, Señor was cut off by four huge sand blades before he could speak!
Countless streams of blood rained down on the ground!
"You... Ho... How did you find out about me..."
Señor Pink asked as he coughed blood, if he didn't witness Will attack earlier that penetrate Gladius' defence even with an armament Haki, he wouldn't have thought of coating his body with armament, but due to it, it saved his life!
But even if he uses haki to defend at the last minute, he was still incapable of continuing to fight, with his miserable state that even breathing was hard!
"Don't take everyone else for fools, who wouldn't notice such obvious ripples on the ground?"
"So you are the two executives that Doflamingo sent this time?"
After taking a look at the miserable state of Señor Pink, Gladius said hesitantly.
"The Devil's Fruit can be given to you, but those losers out there are still losers after all, and we need a strong man like you in the Don Quixote family!"
It is enough to allow Gladius to make a choice that violates his principle to show how strong Will threatened him at this time!
I'm sure the young master would be happy if we could bring such a strong man into his fold.
Gladius instinctively thought that when Will said, 'I want your devil fruit', he meant the one they had.
But if you can get three devil fruits at the same time, why choose just one?
Only children do multiple-choice questions, and as an adult, Will: want them all!
