It was difficult for him to leverage himself in midair. Just as the vines were about to wrap around Dai Ou, Mik crawled across the ground like a gecko. The clothes on his back swelled up, and he suddenly raised his tail. The cold light of his tail whipped through the vines, making clanging sounds.
Dai Ou landed on the ground and rolled to avoid the vines. The soles of his shoes scraped against the fungus carpet, creating a screeching sound. He quickly changed direction and landed next to Mik.
The two of them stared at the strange treant in front of them. Let's call it a treant for now. Half of its body was hidden in the black carpet, revealing only an ugly, barrel-like face, two twisted tree arms, and a barrel-shaped trunk full of triangular black leaves.
"You're a devil fruit user? A treant's fruit? "Both Dai Ou and Mik thought at the same time, but they weren't so sure.
There was no human emotion in its green eyes. It looked at the two indifferently, as if it was staring at two bundles of fertilizer.
"Die!" As the dry, hoarse voice sounded, the fungus carpet on the ground began to churn violently. Countless vines shot out from the ground, forming a sea of thorny blades that stabbed towards the two.
"Run!"
Dai Ou and Mik's scalps went numb. The tree vines that covered the sky almost covered their entire field of vision. Rings of greyish white steel surrounded Dai Ou's chest and extended to his two thick arms. He began to madly swing his arms at the sky. Amidst the crackling sounds, countless branches were broken and fell to the ground. They were then swallowed up by the fungus carpet, turned into nutrients for the treant guards, and grew out again at an astonishing speed.
"Damn it, there's too many. There's no end to them." Dai Ou's face was struck by a tree vines. His stone-like chin cracked open, and dark red blood flowed out, dyeing the corner of his mouth red.
"This is the treant's ability. We have to kill it, or these tree vines won't stop." Mik's pupils contracted to the size of needles. Two puffs of white air came out of his nostrils as he crawled forward on all fours. Above his head, Dai Ou frantically swung his steel whip at the tree vines shooting towards Mik.
* Bang! * Sparks flew everywhere as a section of the rock whip was smashed to bits. Fortunately, Mik had already crawled up to the Treebeard Guard, his scaly tail swinging in a circle like a python as he lashed out.
The barrel-shaped tree body suddenly trembled, and pieces of black leaves shot out like a dense sword array. The python-like tail whip was immediately bleeding, and its skin and flesh were lacerated.
Mikel howled in pain. His tail suddenly split in two, and the tip of his horn shot out like an awl, piercing into the Treebeard Guardian's neck. The sharp edge of the blade pierced right through.
The Treebeard Guard's neck tilted to the side. Its head seemed to have been cut off and hung in the air. Some vines were still attached to the tree body.
The vines that were stirring the air suddenly stopped. Dai Ou gasped for breath, and his stone-like arms were full of jagged cracks. Traces of blood dyed his body red.
"You killed the treant?" Dai Ou looked at Mik with surprise. He saw the latter slowly stand up from the ground. His broken tail had a bloody tumor growing, and it seemed that it wouldn't take long for the tail to grow back and heal.
"Let's get out of here quickly. I have a very bad feeling." Mik's voice was anxious. He felt that there was a living creature spying on him from the shadows, and the distance was quickly closing.
Ta …
Footsteps, very light!
The hairs on Dai Ou and Mike's backs stood up at the same time. They turned their heads to look behind them. A man in a navy uniform was leaning against a tree vine, a sinister smile on his face as he looked at them.
"It's the Marine who killed Blue Hat and the others!" This answer flashed through their minds at the same time, and their hearts skipped a beat. "When did this guy appear?"
"I've been here all along. Well, since the two of you broke in on your own accord, I've been here waiting for you." Yarlin looked at the two uninvited guests and smiled: "Two devil fruit ability users. What an unexpected surprise. Don't you want to introduce yourself first?"
Kacha … Kacha … Kacha …
The two of them abruptly turned their heads, their pupils constricting. They saw the broken tail embedded in the tree being squeezed out by a bullet, and the head that had been flung off was pulled back by the connected branches. Then, some tree roots filled in the crack, rotting into tree sap at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the entire wound was healed.
The surrounding tree roots suddenly trembled and made a buzzing sound. The treant guard turned its head, and its green eyes looked like will-o '-the-wisps.
"Damn, half of its head is cut off and it's still not dead?" Mik's face was very ugly. He said to Dai Ou in a cold voice: "The situation seems to be a bit tricky."
"We'll each take care of one. I'll take care of the treant. I'll leave the Marine to you." Dai Ou roared and crouched down. His whole body rolled along the ground like a huge boulder, rolling towards the Treebeard Guardians. Along the way, countless Treebeard Guardians were shot over, and the rubble stained with blood fell to the ground.
Mik gritted his teeth, and his body fell forward on the ground. His whole body quickly changed color and merged with the fungus on the ground. Then he quickly moved on the ground towards Yarlin.
Yarlin's face didn't change. He gently snapped his fingers, and the tree roots in front of him scattered. He looked at his feet with a strange expression and sneered: "You really don't know how to be polite."
The air in his eyes was a virtual line, and a crawling outline was outlined by the virtual line. Yarlin took a step forward, and the air was like a drum, and his figure suddenly disappeared in front of Mik.
"So fast!"
Mik was shocked, and immediately rolled to the side. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a white glove neatly stabbed into the ground, five sharp fingers sticking out of the fungus slowly closing.
"Just like the treant, this Marine can see me too!" Mikel's expression was incomparably gloomy. His tail, which hadn't yet fully grown, whipped to the side. Drops of boiling blood spurted out, and then fell to the ground as if a wall of air had slammed into it, corroding a fingernail-sized hole in the carpet.
"The ability of a zoo-type chameleon, or a gecko?" Yarlin punched away the blood spurting out, and with a twist of his feet, he jumped five meters and appeared above Mik's head. His five knuckles made popping sounds, and he brazenly punched Mik's back.
The tail whipped, and a large piece of flesh was scraped off. The fist didn't slow down at all as it smashed into Mik's shoulder. Half of Mik's body stiffened, and he rose from the ground …
