Chapter 18 _ battle in the desert
" Why do you know that I left El Maru! " Carpenter said through gritted teeth. He felt that this matter was extremely secretive and would never be discovered.
" My informant told me that you bought some experimental equipment in town, but that's far from the amount of equipment I've smashed into you. So I suspected you had researched something, so I sent someone to check it out. After a while. Sure enough, you've left. " Carter's face was full of a conspiracy smirk.
" Do you think we really don't know that Yuba's Doto is plotting a rebellion? " Carter said sinisterly. " We've already made all the preparations. "
" I've figured out how to make fresh water, and rebellion won't happen. Isn't this a happy thing! " Carpenter looked extremely angry.
" Of course not, you have discovered a way to make fresh water, which is not a good thing for us. "
" You're going to cut off our fortune! "
" Cutting someone's fortune is like killing one's parents. It's not incomprehensible that he wants to stop you from researching. " Bit moved his knuckles on the moving crab. The desire to fight flickered in his eyes.
Yet Carpenter still couldn't understand what they were doing. " Is it really that important to make money! Is making money really more important than the life and death of the people! " As an Alabastain who loves Alabasta, Carpenter's heart is full of anger.
" Alabastas? What's that! You're still too naïve, Carpenter! " Carter mocked Carpenter's inner belief wantonly. " I just want to make money! "
Bit jumped off the moving crab and walked towards Carter. " You go first, and he will go after you when I'm done. "
Roger nodded and beckoned the crab to move on. He also felt a little bit similar to Bit's temperament in this person.
" I can sense that you are a swordsman. Why can't you focus on kendo? " Bit said regretfully. At the same time, he slowly pulled out the big black knife behind him.
" Because on the contrary, I am the nemesis of swordsmen! " Carter saw the big black knife in Bit's hand, so he seemed very proud.
" I've never lost to a swordsman, in fact, I've never lost! Even those perverts are just a draw with me! "
" Swordsman's nemesis? " Bit sneered. " Then how do you compare to the world's number one swordsman in the navy? "
" You mean Admiral Biggs? " Carter's face changed. He is very clear that he is not the opponent of the general, and he is also very clear that the so-called swordsman's nemesis is really just the swordsman's nemesis.
" Then I have to be careful. " A smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. " I'm certainly no match for Admiral Biggster, but it's easy to take care of you! "
After speaking, his figure disappeared instantly, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Bit. At the same time, the palms formed a knife and slashed at Bit.
Bit, however, looked at Carter diagonally as if he had already discovered Carter's movements.
The big black knife and an arm collided in front of the two of them, and there was a sound of gold and iron clashing, and at the same time there was a spark. The two split with a single touch and jumped backwards at the same time.
" Shaved, are you a navy or a cp force of the world government? " Bit directly called out Carter's identity. This signature skill is too conspicuous at the time.
Carter clapped his hands with admiration, " Good insight, I'm cp9 . As for what I'm doing here, I won't give any comment. "
" It turned out to be from cp9 , then I have to tell you some unfortunate news, you will die here. " Bit said seriously.
" Just relying on your domineering armament that can't break my defense? Joke! " Carter seemed very confident.
" I'm a superhuman-type steel fruit person. With the addition of the six-type iron block's defense, it's impossible for you to hurt me! "
Bit tightened the handle of the knife in his hand, and his whole body was boiling with fighting intent. " You are the perfect piece of iron to sharpen my knives! "
" I've seen a lot of pirates who only talk big! " Carter said while rushing towards Bit again.
As a rare man in CP9 who can fight with iron blocks, he has absolute confidence in his own defense.
The fact is exactly as he imagined, his opponent Bit can only passively respond to his attack and cannot cause effective damage to him, and he never even does any defense against the knife that Bit cut. Although Bit can also block all his slashes.
Then the two clashed for a long time. After all, Carter's main attack is not a swordsman, he can only attack by relying on the ability of the fruit, supplemented by the lantern feet cut out with his arms. These attacks are easily blocked by solid bits that have polished swordsmanship.
As for Bit, although he can block all of Carter's attacks, and he can even slash Carter a few times, the damage his attack can actually cause is still a little small, and he can't even cut Carter's skin. .
When the two separate once again, it is certain that Bit will have the upper hand just from their current appearance.
Bit's clothes are just a little messy, and the clothes on Carter's body can already be called cloth strips.
In reality, however, it was Carter who had the upper hand. Bit can't even break defenses. So it's only a matter of time before Bit loses.
However, Carter was impatient to fight any longer. Although he is very clear that as long as the person who loses in the battle must be Bit.
Carter looked up at the sky. It was still early in the morning, and the two of them didn't fight for a long time, less than half an hour.
" It's getting late. I'm going to kill you early and go back to Albasta to make some preparations. " Carter looked ready.
Bit snorted. He also knew very well that he couldn't help Carter for the time being, but he heard some more important information from it. " Aren't you going after Carpenter? "
Carter shook his head confidently. " Don't chase him, the rebel army will eventually go to the capital. Guess why. " He even had the mind to joke with Bit!
"The rebel army has your people. " Bit said directly. Carter had written this sentence on his face.
" Smart. " Carter exclaimed. " It's a pity that such a smart person will be swallowed up by the desert. " He still didn't forget to taunt Bit.
Bit snorted. As the saying goes, if you lose, you don't lose, and he sneered back not to be outdone. " I bet you're never going to leave the desert for the rest of your life. "
However, Carter, who had just finished his harsh words, made an indescribable and inexplicable expression towards Bit, then jumped back and ran into the distance.
Bit naturally chased after him. But after a big jump Bit stopped, he couldn't run – he got caught in quicksand!
And Carter, who was rushing forward, also turned his head and rushed back to Bit in midair. He launched Lanjiao from top to bottom, but Bit had no choice but to raise his sword to resist. This time, however, he was completely submerged in the sand below his knees.
Carter also left the area from midair after a blow.
When he ran out of the quicksand range, he turned and looked at Bit playfully. " I said you'd be swallowed by the desert. "
Bit didn't speak, and didn't care about his slowly descending body. He just stared at Carter warily.
" You've heard of the Six Forms, so you must have heard of Moon Step. " Obviously, Carter didn't want to leave for the time being. He also wanted to taunt and taunt Bit again.
" Moonstep is somewhat similar to shaving. It is a skill that moves in the air by kicking the air dozens of times in an instant. I didn't run on the sand just now, but unfortunately you didn't see it. " Carter was showing his tactics.
" Battle is not just about being stronger than the opponent, but also controlling the surrounding environment is very important! "
Bit stared at Carter, thinking of a way out.
Seeing that Bit's legs were all submerged in the quicksand, Carter moved his neck and turned away. " Quietly wait for death to come, excellent swordsman. " His voice drifted into Bit's ears.
But Bit could only stare at him and leave, he couldn't do anything now.
