140. God Sogeking (2)

Nero was lucky to have dodged or else his leg would have possibly gone by now. He was thanking his stars for believing his instinct and making that move.

"Who is it? Come out. You rat, come the fuck out?" Nero shouted while tearing away a piece of cloth and bandaging his ankle. He was bleeding quite profusely so he needed to put an end to it while looking around, ready to dodge on any given moment.

"Who are you calling a rat?" Came a voice from high up. It was Ussop, he was standing in the air while holding a silver bow in his hand. Over the course of time he had advanced quite fast and made a bow out of his materials he had gathered. Right now he was stretching the bow and pointing at Nero ready to take a shot.

Nero was taken aback seeing someone in the air without any external help. There were very Devil fruits which could do that and those which could allow that were the top ones.

"So you have an extraordinary Devil fruit? So what?" Nero said as he used Geppo, only to fall down on the ground. He had forgotten that he had been hurt on the leg and couldn't use pressure on his leg to fly in the air.

"Shit!" Nero cursed under his breath.RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only

Meanwhile Ussop was looking at the fool and just smiled. He was having the time of his life and he slowly came down. He had let go of his bow and kept it on his back. Ussop didn't know that Jabra had already been taken care of so he was still a little vigilant when she came down.

"Where is your friend?" Ussop asked.

"Friend?"

And before Nero could even stand again he was kicked on the side. This time Nero was ready and used Tekkai on his hand to stop the attack of Ussop. But Nero definitely underestimated the body structure of Ussop which had been changing slowly to a Hollow-like body.

Nero definitely had a hairline fracture on his arm even after reinforcing it with tekkai. Ussop didn't stop himself and proceeded to use his knee attack on his abdomen, only this time to miss. Nero used Soru and avoided the attack.

But this didn't end. Nero and Ussop both started exchanging moves, vanishing from one place to another and using kicks and punches. Cobra who was on the side slowly went behind a pillar to escape from the aftermath. Both were fighting like mad and moves were exchanged at high speed.

In fact Ussop could fight in much faster mode but he wanted to gain some experience. It was very rare to find someone who could fight against him hand to hand at such speed. Only Ken and Luffy could do that but they were his friends so there was always a caution.

But it was a rare occasion and he didn't want to lose it, but the more he fought against Nero, the more he understood that Nero would lose because his body strength wasn't as equal as Ussop and every move would cause damage to his body.

Nero, finding no way out, decided to go for the cheap trick. Kidnap Cobra and threaten him. Since Ussop had been safeguarding Cobra, it meant Cobra was the main goal anyways.

Nero gave a kick with all his power, and then without even looking back he performed Soru and almost appeared near Cobra. But before he could catch the shoulder of Cobra who was hiding behind a pillar, a shining white arrow tore through the air, and without even stopping it went through the pillar.

Before Nero knew it, the arrow sliced through his hand, cutting his hand off within a heartbeat. Nero jumped away in fear but it was already too late. He had lost his left hand just because he was trying to be cunning.

"You thought I was serious with you?" Ussop said as he pointed another arrow at Nero, and this time he was ready to take his life away.
