Chapter 54 Flowing Sand- Waterfall Stream

In the dusty sand, the afterimages are constantly flickering and from time to time, there comes a sound of a sword. Occasionally, sword energy cuts through the diffuse dust and falls on the coastline, cutting a deep crack in the beach.

“Abominable.”

Ghost Sword Yarrow swung his sword and passed through a phantom doppelg?nger of Ross. After sensing the disturbance behind him, he couldn’t help but curse and chop back with his sword reflexively.

During the collision between the two, the distortion force clashed with the blood red sword, His sword wined sadly and even his arms were sour and numb.

Whiz!

Ghost Sword Yarrow barely blocked Ross’ punch. Without hesitation, he retreated more than ten meters away from Ross and swapped his sword to his left hand before shaking his right hand forcefully several times, which alleviated the feeling of sour numbness.

He couldn’t use Haki and his endurance for the power of distortions is much weaker than Onigumo’s. If Ross hadn’t dispersed some of the power of distortion to control sand and his phantom images, this punch would have destroyed his arm.

“I Can’t fight this guy in close combat.”

Ross’s strength was somewhat out of his expectation. He and Ross fought three or four times in front of each other. Each time he was attacked by that weird force. If he hadn’t been blitzing every time, he would have withdrawn decisively when he was exhausted. I’m afraid my arm is half-useless at the moment.

Sigh!

Ghost Sword Yarrow dared not confront Ross head-on, he began to use sword energy and launch long-range attacks against Ross, but because of the dust and the phantom doppelganger, he could not carry out his attack at all. Most of his attacks were meet up by sand on the shore.

Ghost Sword Yarrow realized that this type of attacks are useless against Ross and he is wasting his stamina, He finally stopped attacking Ross. He dropped a little and held the hilt of his sword with both of his hands. His figure suddenly flashed on the battlefield.

“Ghost Step, Flash Shadow!”

Chi! Chi!

Two huge bloody sword energy, one from left and one from right cut the battlefield, sweeping the dusty sand and Ross’ doppelg?nger and his real body with it.

“Are you giving up on your fancy tricks?”

Faced with this attack, Ross calmly opened his mouth and retracted his doppelg?nger, and withdrew the power of distortion from the sand, while focusing the power of distortion on his hands, facing one of the sword energy attacks.

Zi!

Although the bloody sword energy is powerful, it is still stiffly suppressed under Ross’ all-out power of distortion and the sword energy was held between his hands, Ross threw back the sword energy.

Observation Haki accurately captured the route of Ghost Sword Yarrow attacks, which was a pre-judgment attack, The sword energy attack was thrown back by Ross as it flew towards Ghost Sword Yarrow.

“Do you want to use my own attacks against me? It’s really is bad behavior.”

Ghost Sword Yarrow looked at the bloody sword energy that came towards him and snorted. The sword energy in his hand was smashed into the air with a violent wave.

Ross ignored Ghost Sword Yarrow and suddenly bent over and laid his hands on the beach.

Bang Bang!

Power of distortion operated by both hands is much more flexible and fierce than foot control. In almost an instant, the beach with Ross as the center and tens of meters in radius stirred up crazily.

When it comes to large-scale attacks, Ghost Sword Yarrow is not the only one who can use them, but the current environment is just right for him to release a certain trick.

“Flowing Sand… Waterfall Stream!”

Ross took a deep breath and the power of distortion erupted.

“Not good.”

Ghost Sword Yarrow had noticed that the situation was not right in the vicinity as early as when the sand was surging and his vigilance increased sharply. He planned to pull back and stay away from Ross to avoid the upcoming attack.

But things were much worse than he thought. Because the sand was mobile, Ross manipulated only a part of the sand, causing all the sand on the beach to roll up and a wave similar to a Tsunami rushed toward him.

And.

The general direction of the attack is surging from the shore towards the sea, that is to say, that there is no retreat at all, unless he hides in the sea!!

Ghost Sword Yarrow’s face changed as he watched the Tsunami like sand attack coming towards him.

Not far away.

Everyone who was looking at the battlefield on the shore saw this scene and they felt that their mouths were dry and they were shocked.

“Fake… it’s fake…”

“Is this the power of the strongest pirate in the West Blue, the power of Ghost Hand Ross…”

Such power is already an unacceptable level for them. In their opinion, this type of power is not something that a human being should possess!

Ross stood behind the raging sand waves and calmly launched Observation Haki, feeling the situation behind the sand waves.

The battlefield, under his control from the beginning, had changed from the shore where the ship was. Now behind the waves was the open sea and there was no place for Ghost Sword Yarrow to escape.

His speed is faster and his footwork is also flexible. But there is nothing but sea behind him and all the possible escape routes are blocked and there is no room to dodge!

If the opponent retreats into the sea, the advantage of the speed can’t be bought into play, Ross will be able to hammer a squirrel in the sea with the advantage of Geppō (Moonwalk) not to mention a much larger target.

“It’s over.”

Ross’ mind flashed with every single possibility and he calmly whispers.

Behind the waves.

Although Ghost Sword Yarrow is not a Devil Fruit user, he also knows that once he retreats into the water, he is giving up his speed advantage. It is likely that he will never have a chance to came back ashore, so he can only take a deep breath and swing his sword in the face of the coming waves.

“One Blade flow…Decapitation Dance!”

He held his sword in both of his hands and unleashed a series of attacks. The sand waves that hit him were constantly broken. Because of the wide coverage of the sand waves, the power of distortions was dispersed. The sand waves split open and the raging sand waves could hardly bind his body.

While constantly breaking the sand waves, Ghost Sword Yarrow rushed towards Ross’ position and indifferently said. “Your attack range is large enough, but the power behind it is too weak. This type of attack must put a big strain on you.” If you want to spend more of your stamina, then try it.”

“Consuming stamina, your thinking is too simple…”

“Not Yet!”

Standing behind the sand waves, controlling the sand waves to kill Ghost Sword Yarrow from all directions, Ross heard his words clearly.

As the voice fell, Ross’s power of distortions condensed together again. He used his five fingers to force the power of distortion and slammed it down.

Crash!

Under Ross’s all-out manipulation, the sand in front of him began to roll and surge, rising gradually like a real wave, turning into a terrifying sand wave off the height of more than 20 meters!

Ghost Sword Yarrow on the shore looked at the scene in front of him and his face finally showed a hint of horror and fear. He didn’t expect Ross to be able to create such a powerful attack even when he was manipulating a large area of sand.

“Damn it.”

He gritted his teeth, held the sword hilt in both of his hands and looked fiercely at the coming waves. “Marine Vice-Admiral’s fleet can’t kill me, a newcomer to West Blue…”

“One Sword, Ghost Shadow Decapitation!”

A reddish sword energy bursts out from above his sword blade, He inserted his blade into the sand wave and tore the sand wave open from the bottom to up, revealing a small town and Ross behind the sand wave.

But before Ghost Sword Yarrow has the time to be happy, the slashed area of the wave collapsed and fell head on him, closing a gap between them in an instant.

“No!”

Ghost Sword Yarrow was completely covered by the gushing sandstorm.
