Defeating the Enemy

"Whoosh!"

He transformed into Fire Phoenix, his wings wreathed in Armament Haki, and clashed violently with the burly man.

"Boom!"

It was like a giant bomb being dropped on the ocean.

The shockwave from the collision between the two was so terrifying that it blew the ocean apart from a distance, causing the air to surge and churn, and waves to crash against the Moby Dick with a loud bang.

"Interesting, you're quite strong!"

Ye Liangnai grinned at the burly man, the flames of battle in her eyes burning even brighter. Her sharp claws were also coated with Armament Haki, and she lashed out like a cold glint of light.

Using swordsmanship with its claws, its power remains undiminished!

"Steel Skin!"

But the big man didn't dodge or flinch. His chest instantly turned black, as if covered by Armament Haki, flashing Flash.

"Bass!"

Ye Liangnai's strike, which could easily tear through steel, only managed to rip a gash a third of the way down the big man's chest.

"It's so hot!"

The burly man's face showed a hint of pain. Ye Liangnai's body temperature was too high, making him feel uncomfortable. "As expected of Shichibukai, you actually tore through my indestructible Steel Skin like that!"

"However, that's not enough. I'm Steel Man, the one who ate the Steel-Steel Fruit. Your swordsmanship is useless against me!"

The burly man roared and threw a punch that missed its target, heading straight for Ye Liangnai.

"Bang!"

Another violent collision occurred, and the sound of an explosion resounded throughout the sky.

"Bang bang bang!"

Ye Liangnai engaged in a fierce aerial battle with the burly man.

This burly man's punches were incredibly powerful.

If it weren't for Ye Liangnai possessing Armament Haki, which allows her power to be condensed yet explosively explosive...

Even Ye Liangnai might not dare to directly clash with this big man.

"As expected of Shichibukai, you've managed to hold out against me for so long without being defeated. Very good, defeating you will give me an even greater sense of accomplishment!"

"Take this!"

The burly man roared, and terrifying energy emanated from his body.

Then, a piece of black steel condensed from his body and transformed into a spear as thick as an arm.

"Explosive Spear!"

He suddenly stepped into the air and rushed towards Ye Liangnai, his spear thrusting out like lightning. The powerful aura of his attack made even Ye Liangnai's pupils shrink.

This aura was so powerful that even Ye Liangnai wasn't confident she could stop it.

"Phoenix Feather Slash!"

Ye Liangnai unleashed her power, causing her body temperature to rise sharply. Sharp, soaring sword intent erupted from her wings as she slashed through the air.

"Hahaha, you're asking for it!"

Seeing that Ye Liangnai actually withstood his attack, the burly man couldn't help but laugh triumphantly, "Unless a great general arrives, no one can block this sword!"

"Bang!"

But no matter how much he laughed, Ye Liangnai still clashed with the spear.

In an instant, it was as if a spectacular firework had exploded, its astonishing momentum surging towards the ocean like a rainbow, and an amazing sound wave and the sound of collision erupted in the air.

Ye Liangnai was actually locked in a stalemate with the spear!

"Pierce me through, Stro's Spear!"

The burly man struck the end of the spear with a powerful palm strike, making the already formidable power of the spear suddenly become unimaginable.

Even Ye Liangnai couldn't help but change color, revealing an immense strain on her body, and was forced back several steps.

"Break it...!"

Ye Liangnai roared, and the temperature on the spear rose sharply. Then, the spear, as thick as an arm, was actually cut in half by Ye Liangnai.

"What!"

The burly man was astonished by what he saw.

Faced with Ye Liangnai, whose wings were flying like a meteorite, he panicked slightly and quickly shouted, "Steel Arrows!"

A barrage of steel arrows, each as thick as a finger, flew out from his body, enveloping Ye Liangnai like a torrential rain.

But--

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

All of this was completely ineffective. Ye Liangnai broke through the big man's attack with unstoppable force and closed in on him.

"Steel Skin!"

The burly man roared, covering his body with his strongest defense, "My defense is the strongest, you can't break through it!!!"

"Bang!"

Ye Liangnai and the giant man collided, like two meteorites colliding, producing astonishing flames that dyed the sky red.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."

The big man showed a pained expression, and the sound of burning came from his body.

He stared at Ye Liangnai in disbelief, only to see that the wings on Ye Liangnai's body had pierced through his body.

"How is this possible? This is my strongest steel defense, how could you... penetrate it!"

The great man found it unbelievable!

Ye Liangnai didn't want to waste words with him. "Get down!"

Flames exploded from his body, and with a flap of his wings, a tremendous force was generated, blasting the burly man away.

"Phoenix Meteor Kill!"

Ye Liangnai spread her wings and soared upwards, then crashed straight down on the big man like a meteorite!

"Bang!"

The burly man was blasted into the sea like a bomb, creating terrifying waves.

"Boss!"

Upon seeing this, those around the burly man and his group couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Even the man who was engaged in fierce combat with Nous was taken aback and exclaimed, "How is this possible? Boss lost so quickly?"

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm telling you, it's not very nice to be so distracted while fighting me!"

Nous, his body crackling with blinding lightning, hurtled down.

"Lightning Fist!"

Nous was like Thunder God; his ferocious attack made the man's pupils shrink, and he quickly swung his sword to defend himself.

"Get down here too!"

But Nous roared and summoned the lightning in the sky, instantly gaining a super-powerful boost, and the power he unleashed far exceeded his limits.

"No!"

He cried out in alarm, but he couldn't stop himself from falling, and was smashed into the sea like a bomb.

"Thunderous Movement Nine Heavens!"

Nous did not stop his attack. He once again unleashed a bolt of lightning as thick as a water vat, which blasted open the sea. The Wild Thunder spread across the ocean, creating a spectacular sight.

But this caused the enemies in the surrounding seas to change color in shock, and they all fell victim to the attack!

"Haha, Nous, you're too fierce! You've left me with no chance to show off. Fighting these lowly soldiers isn't exciting at all!"

Jesus Burgess punched the last soldier away, then voiced his discontented protest.

"Don't blame me, it's your own fault for not being able to fly!"

A hint of 'helplessness' flashed in Nous's Luan Bird- like eyes before he swooped down into the sea and grabbed his enemy.

Beside him, Ye Liangnai was doing the same thing.

"Oh no, boss! The deputy commander has been arrested!"

"Damn it, are we really going to be wiped out like this?!"

Those soldiers who hadn't been killed yet couldn't help but show signs of retreat when they saw this scene.
