Chapter 135: Fortress Ability
"Rrraugh—!"
futusi roared and pounced again, even faster than before.
That earlier hit hadn't actually hurt him, but being knocked away in front of everyone—that was humiliation he could not tolerate.
As a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, his physique was incredibly strong. In close combat, fighting for several days and nights was nothing to him.
A little hit like that wasn't nearly enough to injure him.
"Shoot! Shoot!"
From inside the castle, the survivors rushed out, guns in hand. Leading them was a massive, vicious-looking middle-aged man.
When he saw his younger brother futusi locked in battle with Capone Bege, he immediately signaled his men to aim at Capone.
They weren't the honorable type. They were an underground mafia. They weren't stupid enough to insist on one-on-one fights—if they could gang up on someone, they would.
Bang! Bang! Bang—
His men opened fire.
A storm of bullets burst from their barrels, streaking toward the dinosaur-shaped Capone Bege. Under the moonlight, the bullets gleamed as they flew.
"Die!" Futur laughed savagely, his greasy hands clenching tight.
But the next moment, even he froze.
The rain of bullets struck Capone Bege's dinosaur form, sparks flashing, then bounced cleanly off.
Clang! Clang! Clang—
"Die—!" futusi roared, jaws wide as he lunged up close.
Capone Bege's mouth curled into an exaggerated grin. A mocking light flashed in his fierce vertical pupils.
His massive jaws opened—and a door swung open inside, revealing a giant cannon muzzle.
Just as futusi was about to come down on him, a chilling cannon shell shot out.
futusi's pupils shrank violently.
BOOOOM!!!
A brilliant burst of fire lit up the street, a shockwave blasting outward with terrifying force.
Both massive figures were flung away by the explosion.
"Ahhh—!"
The Bessy Family men closest to the blast were hurled through the air, crashing hard onto the ground.
Futur's pupils tightened. The wave of heat washed over him, but his body was so fat that it didn't even push him back.
But as he stared at the blast site… a ten-meter crater had formed in the ground, the cobblestones split open like his heart.
"What kind of cannon shell is that… how can it be that strong…"
He muttered in disbelief.
He had never seen a shell with such destructive power.
And he had no idea where it even came from.
Dozens of meters away—
futusi lay on the ground, reverted to human form, looking almost identical to his brother—round face, fat, and fleshy.
But his condition was terrible. The right side of his face was torn apart, blood and mangled flesh exposed, with a hint of white bone showing beneath. It made him look downright horrifying.
His skin was charred, half his hair was burned away, and he gasped rapidly, exhaling more than he inhaled.
His body twitched faintly.
That first shot had nearly sent him straight to the afterlife. If he hadn't been a Devil Fruit user with immense vitality, his head would've blown apart like a watermelon.
Meanwhile, a short distance away—
Capone Bege stood up as if nothing had happened, shaking his enormous dinosaur head before slowly rising to full height.
His massive therizinosaur head was smeared with ash from the blast, but he wasn't hurt at all.
Thud…
Thud…
He stepped forward, eyes sweeping across the surroundings, and the corners of his mouth split into a vicious grin.
"Disappear, Bessy Family."
A moment later, doors all over his body snapped open, revealing the subordinates inside him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Cannonfire erupted once more. Explosions thundered across the street, mingled with agonized screams.
