Carlos's current strength was on a completely different level from those ordinary Mafia thugs. It could even be said that they were no longer on the same level of life itself.
Within a few breaths, all the Mafia thugs who had dared attack him had been slaughtered. The remaining few trembled as they huddled against the deck, keeping as far away from Carlos as possible.
"Get lost! Stop! I'll kill you!"
Roar!
A deep, bell-like voice rang out, followed by a lion's roar. A figure charged toward Carlos from a Charlie Family ship, transforming midair into a lion with a golden mane, six or seven meters long and three or four meters tall. It pounced at Carlos, its lion face twisted ferociously, jaws gaping wide, fangs sharp as blades!
"Jiehahaha... At last, someone mildly interesting has shown up. That's the Zoan Devil Fruit, Cat-Cat Fruit: Lion Form, isn't it?"
"But you alone are still far from enough."
Carlos cackled strangely. He looked up at the enormous lion diving toward him, his figure blurring as he retreated more than ten meters and evaded its pounce. Then he lunged forward in an instant, leaped into the air, and kicked at the lion's head.
Wind Thunder Leg!
His kick stirred the air, producing a piercing shriek. He retreated and advanced with the speed of lightning and the agility of wind, movements that hardly seemed possible for an ordinary person...
The kick slammed into the lion's forehead, sending its enormous body flying more than ten meters away. It crashed into the cabin, collapsing the structure and splintering planks as it was blasted deep into the ship's interior!
"Your Zoan Devil Fruit is pretty good. What's your name? Follow me..." Carlos said, standing on the deck with his eyes transformed into triangular sickle-shaped Mangekyō Sharingan
