One Piece: The Defender of Justice

My name is Philok, and I am a pirate captain.

I yearn for the elegant life of aristocrats, and I hate people who are too rude, especially my deputy captain Jim.

Unfortunately, I met a Marine today who actually killed so many of the crew members I managed to recruit. What an unlovable brat!

But this uninvited guest will die soon! As for my dear crew, your efforts are valuable...

"I've finally waited for you! Philok!"

Atlas seemed to have expected it, and he easily dodged the sneak attack by turning his body slightly to one side.

The long-charged fist punched hard on Philok's chest.

However--

Philok's figure was only slightly swaying, and there was only an obvious fist mark on the clothes on his chest.

"How !!?"

The calm posture that Atlas had maintained since boarding the ship finally became a little unbearable, and his pupils shrank violently due to shock. How could it be possible for Philok's strength of 15 million berry to be able to block his attack so completely?

"Fufufufufu...I am the Dog-Dog Fruit Hound Model ability user!"

Philok smiled lowly. Although he was a little surprised that the sneak attack on Atlas failed to work, he did not feel at all that he would be defeated by the kid in front of him!

And he can openly reveal his fruit ability, just to make Atlas look desperate.

After all, in the East Blue, the weakest sea, things like Devil Fruit only exist in legends.

And he also obtained this priceless Devil Fruit two months ago when he robbed a merchant ship.

Even the most common Dog-Dog Fruit Hound Model among Zoan ability users has greatly increased his strength.

Even his men were not informed of this information.

Because he knows that only the cautious can survive on the cruel sea.

He, Philok, is one of the most stable!

Of course, because the time to obtain this fruit is still short.

Philok has not yet fully mastered the free switching of Zoan Devil Fruit's three forms, so he can only remain in the human-animal form to fight Atlas.

However, the human-animal form is also the most powerful form!

It was precisely because of the hat that Atlas didn't notice Philok's raised ears.

"No matter why you came to trouble me, Captain Philok, today, you can't leave!"

Philok said, throwing the staff sword in his hand casually on the deck, and licked his exposed claws.

"Did a mere Devil Fruit make you so arrogant!!?"

Atlas experienced the initial surprise and slowly calmed down, staring intently at the man in front of him who was gradually becoming psychotic because of the upcoming massacre.

The remaining pirates around them took a step back unconsciously when they saw their captain showing a twisted expression, which left a huge open space for the two of them to fight.

Philok leaned forward slightly, showing an attacking posture. His calf muscles were tense, and his trouser legs, which were already unable to withstand the transformation, burst open instantly.

Suddenly, just as the rags of clothing were flying in the air and somewhat blocking the view, Philok moved! It rushed towards Atlas at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye!

Atlas didn't panic when he saw this.

Although Philok's speed at this time has somewhat exceeded the capture range of his dynamic vision, Atlas has not improved this year.

Even if he has not yet reached superhuman physical fitness, his swordsmanship level has not reached the level of cutting iron.

After all, he had gone through battles large and small, and he was on the verge of awakening to his haki.

The fighting instinct, which is almost like that of a beast, has always been supporting his fight!

Maybe after going through this battle, Observation Haki can be successfully awakened!

Atlas slowly closed his eyes, trying to capture Philok's figure with perception.

"Kid, you succeeded in irritating me!"

Philok felt a little angry when he saw Atlas closing his eyes.

Naturally, he was a frog in the well and didn't know about the high-end skills of Observation Haki, so he thought Atlas was looking down on him.

In Atlas's perception, a black shadow was quickly attacking him.

He dwarfed and tried to avoid the attack.

But he was still scratched on the back by Philok's claws, leaving three moderately deep blood marks.

Under the influence of the horse talisman, it healed itself at a speed visible to the naked eye, without leaving even a tiny scar.

"——?!!"

Philok was slightly surprised when he saw Atlas's closed wound, and was obviously frightened by Atlas's amazing recovery power.

The horse spell imprint in Atlas' mind is basically invisible. It will only take a while to be completely digested, and it will definitely give him a surprise.

As for the current small wound, it is obviously insignificant to Atlas's current terrifying vitality.

"Who are you, little brat?"

Feilok was already a bit angry at this time, and he gradually began to think about retreating.

"Your Death"(T/N: The Cringe.)

Atlas didn't talk nonsense, he held the sword in both hands, his eyes were stern, and he showed a standard starting posture.

Ittoryu·Iai!

But it was directly blocked by Philok's sharp claws, but it was not without success.

Philok secretly shook his arm that was numb from the collision just now.

There is even some slight pain and maybe a slight bone crack. In terms of current strength, he is far inferior to Atlas.

On the one hand, it's because Atlas's strength has grown to a very terrifying level under the hellish training, and on the other hand, it's not long since Philok got the Devil Fruit.

Moreover, the Dog-Dog Fruit Hound Model is not a fruit known for its strength, so it is undoubtedly at a disadvantage when compared to Atlas in terms of power.

Ting! Ting! Ting ting ting!

After several rounds of fierce collisions, Philok gradually became exhausted.

Zoan Devil Fruit gives him strong toughness, allowing him to still maintain strong combat effectiveness.

But he has also realized that the current situation cannot continue.

'Damn it! It seems that I have to find a way to wear him down.'

Philok cursed Atlas fiercely in his heart, and at the same time turned his attention to the remaining pirates...

"Boss Philok..."

The pirates felt chills running down their backs at Philok's gaze, and then they saw Philok heading straight towards them, with Atlas following closely behind.

So the pirates had to take up their weapons to fight against Atlas.

But this is undoubtedly a mantis blocking the car.

"Ah! Damn you kid"

"Please, let me go"

"Ooooh~ I'm sorry..."

…

Angry curses, pleas for mercy, and confessions kept ringing in Atlas's ears, but he showed no mercy at all. None of these pirates were innocent.

Soon, the remaining pirates were killed by Atlas, but the physical strength consumed by Atlas was a drop in the bucket.

But this also bought Philok a little breathing time.

At the same time, it also made Philok realize his own advantages.

Speed!

Use the speed attribute given to him by the Dog-Dog Fruit Hound Model to fight with Atlas, and you might even have a chance to win!
