The low hum of the rifle reverberated through the air, killing the monster that then crashed to the earth with great force...
"NO! Blueberry! Catch her!"
Shanks screamed in desperation, weakened to such a degree that he could barely hold on to the giant weapon.
The monster he killed... wasn't the beast with the meatgrinder-like jaws but another one, that THREW ITSELF IN THE WAY OF THE ATTACK AND BLOCKED IT WITH ITS OWN BODY SACRIFICING ITS LIFE.
"SKWEE!"
The emperor griffin screeched with affirmation and her body glowed violet.
*SWOOSH*
*CHOMP*
With the burst of acceleration, Blueberry managed to swipe the falling ashen-haired girl from literal jaws of death.
"Gah...! I would have survived that!"
Instead of gratitude, the first words that left the mouth of the young girl were a complaint.
