Tiki's eyes flickered, but he didn't answer. However, Gu Xuan could tell what he meant, so he said coldly,"If you abandon Ace at this time, you won't have any room for survival in the White Beard Pirates. Why? Do you think you'll definitely get the Dark Fruit by killing me?”
Tiki's expression changed slightly. He knew a lot of secrets about the Demon Fruit, but he couldn't guarantee that everything he knew was true. If he abandoned Ace at this time and didn't get the Dark Fruit in the end, there would be no way out for him.
"Then I'll kill you first."
Tiki's eyes suddenly shone with a fierce light, and his steel claws instantly pierced into Gu Xuan's neck. Moreover, he had used the color of his weapon, Tyrannical Aura. It was obvious that he really wanted to kill Gu Xuan.
However, Gu Xuan had always been on guard against Tiki. He knew that Tiki was different from ordinary people. He was a person who had no moral bottom line and could do anything. Therefore, he had always been on guard against Wen Se Ba Qi. The moment Tiki attacked, he had already started to dodge. However, the distance between the two of them was too close. Even though he was on guard, his movements were still restricted due to his injuries.
"Dark Water!"
The steel claw pierced into Blackbeard's neck, and blood splattered everywhere. However, Gu Xuan's eyes were filled with madness. He completely disregarded his injuries and quickly used his ability to grab Blackbeard. Although Blackbeard was not an ability user, the two of them were so close that he could not dodge or resist the dark gravity in time. He was pulled in front of Gu Xuan in an instant.
Ignoring the intense pain from his injuries, Gu Xuan unleashed a full-powered attack, striking Blackbeard's abdomen, sending the three-meter-tall Blackbeard flying a few meters away.
"Tiki, just you wait. I will kill you myself sooner or later.”
After saying that, Gu Xuan sent Marshall D. Teach flying with a single blow. Under Teach's shocked gaze, he jumped off the cliff. Even Teach did not have time to react.
"Is he crazy? He was an aptitude user, and he couldn't swim.”
Tiki rushed to the edge of the cliff, wanting to chase after Gu Xuan. However, when he reached the edge, he retreated again. In fact, the cliff was not very high from the bottom of the sea. However, that was the sea. No matter how good one was at swimming, it would be difficult for one to survive in the sea if they were not murlocs.
Gritting his teeth, Tiki turned around and shouted at Ace, who had already rushed over,""Ace, Gu Xuan jumped down. He's an aptitude user and can't swim. I'll go down and chase after him. You're no match for the red hound.”
After saying that, he immediately jumped down with Gu Xuan. When Ace saw this scene, he immediately cried out in surprise,"Tiki."
"Damn it, they escaped.”
Red Hound couldn't jump down like Gu Xuan and Marshall D. Teach. He was a Devil Fruit aptitude user, so he immediately turned his gun and aimed at Ace.
Ace's target this time was Gu Xuan. Gu Xuan had jumped into the sea, so he naturally did not want to get entangled with the red hound. However, he could not jump into the sea like Tiki, so he could only turn around and escape.
This battle was indeed very strange. The red hound originally wanted to capture Gu Xuan, but he did not expect Gu Xuan to escape in the end. Instead, he wanted to capture 'Fire Fist' Ace. However, as long as he could capture Ace, this capture would not be considered a failure.
Gu Xuan did not panic after jumping off the cliff. Instead, he appeared very calm. In fact, he had already expected this scene and was prepared. When he was falling rapidly, he quickly communicated with the system and took out an item from the system's storage bag. He carried it on his back.
"Whoosh!"
Pressing the button, a parachute suddenly appeared behind him, causing his rapidly falling body to pause. Then, under the control of the parachute, he slowly flew up.
The parachute was not a product of this world, but came from the system. This was an item that Gu Xuan had spent 5,000 dark points to exchange for. It was frighteningly expensive. According to the system's description, if he was in the modern world, he would only need 1,000 dark points to exchange for this parachute. However, in the Pirate World, this parachute that did not belong to the Pirate World actually cost 5,000 dark points, which was five times the price.
Even so, he had still chosen to exchange it when he was fleeing. He had spent 60,000 Darkness Points from the previous mission to buy the Great Recovery Pill, leaving him with 6,000 Darkness Points. This time, after spending 5,000 Darkness Points to exchange for the parachute, he only had 1,000 Darkness Points left.
Although the dark system was very dark, Gu Xuan was not unhappy because this parachute could save his life. After all, if he jumped into the sea normally, with his identity as a Demon Fruit ability user, he would definitely die. However, it was different with the parachute. Although the parachute might not be able to fly very far, it at least gave him a lot of buffer space and more time to save himself.
As for why he did not use it when he was fighting with the Red Hound, it was because he knew how terrifying the Red Hound's ability was. If the Red Hound had used the Lava Fruit's long-range attack the moment he jumped off the cliff, even if he had used a parachute, he would definitely have been blown up by the Red Hound's lava. At that time, he would be in danger without the parachute.
Therefore, he had been waiting. Even though he was heavily injured by the red dog, he didn't take the last step. Just as the red dog was about to kill him and he was about to fight to the death, Ace and Tiki appeared. This immediately let him know that his chance had come.
He touched his neck. It was the wound left by Tiki. It almost pierced through his neck. Fortunately, he managed to dodge it at the last moment and avoided the vital part. Even so, he still bled a lot.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with his parachute. He looked up and was instantly dumbfounded.
"Tiki, you bastard."
Tiki, who had jumped down after him, had actually used its own steel claws to pierce through his parachute, causing the parachute to leak air rapidly. As a result, he was swaying in the air.
"Gu Xuan, you're dead meat."
Tiki was unable to speak as the wind entered his mouth. However, his gaze was fierce. He had been prepared to take advantage of Gu Xuan after he fell into the sea. He never expected Gu Xuan to have the ability to create this unknown parachute and fly.
Although he didn't understand the principle behind it, he knew that it must have been caused by the inflated balloon. That was why he had punctured the balloon when he was descending, destroying Gu Xuan's parachute.
He grabbed at Gu Xuan. As long as he could catch Gu Xuan, he would win after falling into the sea. Tiki's eyes were filled with excitement.
