Chapter 241: Kizaru Runs Away, Stussy
Kizaru was already ranting in his head.
Try my ass—don't you have any idea what your strength is compared to mine?
"I've already made a move against you. This mission is complete. I'm leaving."
After saying that, Kizaru immediately took off.
The enemy was too strong—it wasn't that he was cowardly.
Jiang Qize didn't stop him. Although he could have if he wanted to, there was no need.
Watching Kizaru's figure disappear into the distance, he smiled.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Two figures landed beside him.
"Captain."
Robin and Enel came to his side and handed over a box containing three Devil Fruits.
Along with the Devil Fruits, there was also a sword.
"Hm? A cursed blade?"
Seeing the sword, Jiang Qize raised an eyebrow.
He could feel the evil aura contained within it.
The blade was 1.3 meters long. The scabbard was very old-fashioned, covered with patterns that looked like an entire depiction of hell. The hilt was peach-blossom shaped, pitch black, and about thirty centimeters long.
Jiang Qize gently drew the blade.
Buzz!!
A surge of crimson light burst forth.
"Ah…" A cold, eerie scream echoed from the void. The sky actually darkened, and the surrounding space turned dim and blood-red. Waves of crimson mist churned about, as if hell itself had descended.
At the same time, a pulling force came from the hilt. The Armament Haki within his body was stirred—it was trying to absorb his Haki.
"Interesting!"
Jiang Qize shook his arm, instantly cutting off the suction.
Clang!!
He fully drew the cursed blade.
An even more terrifying crimson aura spread out, accompanied by a faint stench of blood.
"Enma? That's a pretty imposing name."
The corner of Jiang Qize's mouth curled upward.
Although cursed blades were not listed among the graded swords, they had one special trait—they could grow stronger. The more people they killed, the more powerful they became.
For this blade to possess such momentum, even forcibly manipulating the Haki within the human body, it was obvious that it had claimed countless lives.
By his estimation, if someone below the rank of Vice Admiral wielded this blade, their Haki would be drained rapidly, and they would instead be controlled by it.
"Too bad there aren't many swordsmen on the ship. I wonder if Jonathan could control it."
He muttered to himself.
Buck Wyper and the others couldn't really be considered true swordsmen—after all, they didn't even have proper blades.
He then put the sword away and turned his gaze to the three Devil Fruits.
After that, he opened the synthesis interface and placed them inside.
[Zoan · Mythical Type · Golden-Maned Mad Lion Form]
[Paramecia · Bounce-Bounce Fruit]
[Paramecia · Spin-Spin Fruit]
"Uh…"
Seeing those two Paramecia fruits, Jiang Qize felt a bit speechless. What kind of weird fruits were these? Spin-Spin Fruit… Bounce-Bounce Fruit… was this for doing acrobatics?
He shook his head.
They weren't great, but having something was better than having nothing.
"Let's head back."
"Yes, Captain."
The three of them then started walking back.
"Heh heh heh…"
At that moment, a coquettish laugh rang out.
Jiang Qize stopped and looked to the side.
Under a tree stood a sexy woman wearing an ultra-short dress, pink stockings, and high heels. She had short, curled blonde hair and delicate, adorable features.
"Heh heh heh, Summoner Ze, you're really handsome," Stussy said, laughing softly as she looked at him.
"Stussy, Queen of the Pleasure District…"
Seeing her, Jiang Qize's lips curved slightly upward.
When he instantly called out her identity, a trace of surprise flashed through Stussy's eyes.
After all, as one of the underground emperors, not many people had actually seen her face.
And as for the Summoner, his time on the seas—excluding that year he disappeared—had only been one or two months.
