"Good!"
Bell-mère gave a low shout and prepared to rush forward.
Ain grabbed her shoulders and shook his head. "Law and I have exhausted a lot of energy. You must maintain your condition. Here... I'll do it!"
Seeing Ain walking out of the formation, the pirates on the opposite side swallowed nervously.
"That is... 'Moon Slayer' Ain!"
There was a commotion among the pirates, but it quickly subsided.
Although he was doubtful, as the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, Ain still held his breath to calm down and then raised Shusui.
Whoosh...
The flowing Haki wrapped around Shusui's blade, and Ain's muscles tightened.
This move... she can't fully master it with her current strength...
"Bridge of Conviction!"
Slash!
Wave after wave of fine slashes instantly flooded the corridor ahead.
The pirate in front felt a gust of wind blowing, and his body was slightly itchy, while the pirate behind felt a burst of water hitting his face.
Water flow? No! It's blood!!
Fine slashes penetrated the pirates' bodies. Even if some of them were protected by haki, their bodies began to ooze blood under the continuous attack.
The door at the end of the corridor began to tear apart, making a creaking sound.
Ain gritted her teeth and poured all the remaining power into Shusui's blade. "Hah!!"
Boom!!
Hundreds of pirates and the gate behind them fell to the ground at the same time.
A pirate who was not yet dead was bathed in blood and looked at the G5 combat troops passing by them. "You... also..."
Thud!
Kikoku's scabbard directly shattered his neck bone, but Law looked a little confused.
Is this guy... crazy? Why does he have that weird smile?
······
The entire hall was filled with the smell of alcohol, and a group of trembling women huddled in the corner, holding back their tears.
On the other side, a group of young-looking girls were trapped in a bunch of cages.
After just glancing around, Bell-mère's eyebrows rose.
On the throne above, a naked man with scars all over his body was lying across the laps of several women.
"Hiccup... I told you all to keep quiet when I'm sleeping..."
The women who were carrying him with their bodies covered their mouths tightly, not daring to make a sound.
"Hmm!!! You disturbed my sweet dream..."
A burst of gray mist rose from the throne, and the bodies of the women sitting in a row stiffened, then their bodies withered like plants scorched by fire.
The man rubbed his forehead while raising his body and looking at the crowd below. "Marines? Huh~~"
The moment she saw that man's face, Bell-mère's heart skipped a beat.
"You... I've seen you before!"
"You were the one who destroyed the Oykot Kingdom back then... right?"
The women on the throne turned into ashes and scattered. The bald man who seemed to be hungover shook his head vigorously. "The Oykot Kingdom? Where is it!?"
Bell-mère did not answer his question again. Although she did not directly confront the man in front of her back then, this appearance... was unmistakable!!
"Fanny... Fanny!!!"
A trembling voice sounded from the corner of the hall.
Fisherman Bart tremblingly took out his daughter from the cage. The girl named Fanny's arms hung down weakly, and she could no longer hear her father's call.
"Ah... Ah... Fanny... I..."
"Wake up! Fanny... Daddy... Daddy is here to find you... Daddy has prepared your favorite cod soup for you..."
Looking at the fisherman Bart in the corner who was on the verge of mental breakdown, everyone present tightened their grip on their weapons.
"It's really... so noisy..."
Whoosh!!
A wave of light yellow air swept towards the corner.
"Law!"
"Shambles!"
The women and children in the corners on both sides disappeared instantly, and Bell-mère covered her arms with Armament Haki to resist the yellow energy.
"HO~~? A person with abilities?"
The storm subsided, and the man finally stood up from the throne. He seemed not to care that his power was blocked, and was still thinking hard. "Where is the Oykot Kingdom...?"
Boom!!
Bell-mère's heels appeared at the sides of his head, and the man raised his arms casually.
"Where on earth..."
Bell-mère looked stern in mid-air and spun around, the Armament Haki on her heels becoming even stronger.
"Rankyaku!"
Whoosh!!
A dull cracking sound pierced the air.
Boom!!
The man's eyes lit up. "I remember, it must have been almost twenty years... I really miss the days of East Blue..."
Then he grabbed Bell-mère's calf. "Were you there at that time? Wasn't the Marine killed?"
"Ugh..."
Bell-mère groaned, feeling the strength and Haki of this guy...
"It took a lot of effort to have a good drink... It's true... Since you were the one who slipped through the net back then... Then you will... die!!"
Bam!
A strong wave of air erupted, and then the man picked up Bell-mère's body and threw her to the ground.
"Amputate!"
"No life!"
The man grinned. "Black blade..."
Bang!!
Bell-mère was smashed into the ground by him, and the man jumped high, dodging the slashes from Law and Ain.
"Are Marines so powerful now?"
During the Conqueror's Haki impact just now, none of the Marines below fainted, which somewhat surprised him.
"This level of Conqueror's Haki..."
Among the rubble on the ground, Bell-mère, covered in Armament Haki, stood up again. "It has been useless against us for a long time!"
Bell-mère's figure flashed above his head, her right foot raised high again.
Boom!!
"You really don't have a long memory... Your weak body and the strength of your haki are simply laughable."
The bald man raised his arms across his head, but then he realized something was wrong.
This isn't a simple collision of forces... This Haki contains a strange power.
Internal destruction... No... It's a more complicated change!
"Collapse!"
The bald man's arm shook, and the stones under his feet shattered and flew.
After shaking his arm to dispel the pain, the bald man raised his head and looked at Bell-mère. "What kind of power is this? Is it very novel?"
Law and Ain in the hall both showed more solemn expressions.
This move is said to be able to break through the "Ice Continent". And this guy...
It turns out it's just some discomfort in his arm...
"Ah...forget it...there are some tricks, but that's it."
Not possible either...
Before Bell-mère could finish thinking, the bald man flashed in front of her.
Bad...
After subconsciously raising her arms, a huge force hit her, and then Bell-mère felt a burning pain in her arms.
Boom!!
At the other end of the palace, Bell-mère, who was knocked away by a turning kick, was buried in gravel and rubble.
The moment Bell-mère flew out, the bodies of Ain and Law disappeared at the same time.
Sweat appeared on Ain's forehead as he moved.
I had been fighting for two days in a row before, and my physical strength...
Weakness... Where is it...
Can't find it... Can't find it at all...
It's up to you... Law!
"Judgment: Reincarnation!"
The blood-red sword energy burst out and wrapped around the bald man.
"Huh?" The bald man was stunned for a moment, and the petals had already formed a wrapping force.
Just when he raised his arms and crossed them, Law was already behind him.
"Mes..."
"Kid!"
A turning elbow hit Law directly in the face.
"You are underestimating me!"
Looking back, the petals were completely wrapped, but then they were shattered by a black wave of air.
After the air wave shattered the petals, it swept directly towards Ain, who was almost out of strength in the distance.
Ain's body trembled, this distance...
Whoosh!!
An equally strong wave of air swept from behind Ain, blocking the impact that was about to pounce on her.
"HO~~~~? Conqueror's Haki? Marine? Woman?"
"What about Marines... what about women..."
The bald man's expression gradually became serious. That woman...
"I remember... I overplayed it at the time and made a bit of a fuss... You are the crazy woman who has been fighting desperately... for so many years... You've changed a lot..."
