A terrifying storm swept across the entire island cluster. In almost an instant, the islands collided with one another within the storm, shattering into fragments of all sizes and flying off to who knew where.
Minos had notified everyone from the start, so they had been mentally prepared for the storm's arrival. But its scale still far exceeded their imagination. When even entire islands were blown apart, any so-called defenses were naturally little more than a drop in the bucket. In an instant, the pirates were scattered across the sky like stars.
At the critical moment, Minos reached out and grabbed Baby5 without a word. He had no intention of worrying about the others, but he could not afford to lose his trusted maid.
Faced with a terrifying storm that nearly covered thousands of square kilometers, even Minos, despite his considerable strength, had little ability to resist. Protecting himself and Baby5 was already barely the limit of what he could do.
As for everyone else, they could only leave it to fate.
The violent winds gradually subsided, and a pitch-black mass floating in the sky began to plummet at high speed.
Soon, the blackness faded away, revealing Minos, who had been holding Baby5 the whole time. Clearly, the black coating around him was the Armament Haki he had used.
As the gale gradually calmed, Minos and Baby5 also fell rapidly.
Baby5 was already dizzy from all the spinning, so Minos quickly patted her face to help her regain a little clarity.
"Ugh... ngh... Is this heaven?" Baby5 opened her eyes and muttered groggily. Minos rolled his eyes. "Stop dreaming. Pirates like us should be headed for hell no matter how you look at it, right? If you don't transform soon, we'll really be taking a trip to the underworld!"
