Eight Updates, Cipher Pol Arrives One After Another!
Who are you?
Biba Amatori's heart sank as she looked at the man in black who had appeared beside her at some unknown time.
Not far away, five men in black were escorting a man in a white coat as he walked over. He recognized the man's demeanor; it was Souei Wei's team of researchers who had helped him study the Kabane.
"Brother!"
At this moment, the Mumei seemed to have snapped out of its bewilderment, or rather, it was awakened by the small 'Tailed Beast Bomb' that Kabane had used to Horobi earlier.
Although she realized that Biba Amatori had been deceiving her all along, her long-standing admiration for him still prevented her from hating him. When she saw him being restrained by strange people, she instinctively ran over, holding Steam Pistol, and warily looked at the group of men in black, all of whom were about two meters tall.
"Release my elder brother, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Hehe, don't be in a hurry, little girl."
At that moment, the middle-aged man in the white coat walked over and said with a cheerful smile.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Ron, and I am a senior researcher at the Biochemical Research Institute directly under the World Government Academy of Sciences. They are agents of the World Government's CIPHER POL. We don't actually have any ill intentions towards you, as long as you two cooperate obediently."
At the same time, the man in black removed his hand from Biba Amatori's shoulder, but even so, the latter dared not make any rash moves.
He had witnessed Laskey's fighting performance firsthand, and he couldn't help but suspect that these men in black were all of similar strength. If that were the case, then his reckless attack would only be a pointless death.
The little girl, though Mumei, was rather fierce.
She had become accustomed to relying on her Kabaneri's extraordinary physique and combat skills to subdue anyone or anything she encountered.
The girl in red leaped into the air and then nimbly somersaulted towards the white-clad man who called himself Ron.
Because she didn't want to kill anyone, she didn't plan to shoot; instead, she intended to take the other person hostage.
"Stop! Mumei!" Biba Amatori's expression changed, and she shouted to stop him with a slightly anxious tone, but it was too late.
"Wow, this girl is quite energetic!"
A CP8 member standing next to Team Leader Ron chuckled, a subtle way of reminding everyone else to leave the rest to him.
He immediately flicked away the bayonet that the Mumei man swung at him with his fingers, and then, with a speed that the latter could not handle at all, delivered a 'light' palm strike to the back of the girl's neck.
With a muffled thud, the girl in red immediately lost consciousness. She was then caught by the man in black who had intervened, preventing her from collapsing onto the dusty ground.
"Go to sleep for a while, now is not the time for you to make a fuss."
While the Kabaneri's strength is difficult to contend with compared to ordinary people, it is far from enough for CP8 members who are specifically responsible for protecting high-ranking officials.
This scene also made Biba Amatori give up any illusions about resisting or breaking away.
He was also Kabaneri, but in terms of combat strength, he wasn't necessarily much stronger than the Mumei One. This made him start to wonder what the World Government really was.
Does such a powerful organization really exist? Why haven't we heard of it before?
"Hey, that glowing blue heart, is it the native Blue Heart Kabane of this world? It looks incredibly destructive. I wonder how it compares to Steve Guts."
Team Leader Ron ignored them, took two steps forward, and gazed at the distant 'Nue'-like Horobi.
At the same time.
Standing in the crater where a layer of soil had been eroded away, Laskey frowned as he looked at the man in black blocking his way.
Just now, when he was unable to dodge in time and had to try to protect himself with 'Tekkai' and Armament Haki, this person instantly appeared in front of him and blocked most of the energy bombardment for him.
Who are you?
Laskey could tell that this person was probably his colleague, but the key was that the black armor covering the man's face, the blue light on his chest near his heart, and the bluish-purple aura that erupted from his body when he blocked the bombardment were exactly the same as the thing opposite him.
"Steve Guts, former CP8, now CP9, became the first Kabaneri in the experiments at the Biochemical Research Institute. Nice to meet you, Captain Laskey!"
"So that's how it is," Laskey suddenly Satori, then said with displeasure, "You're here to show off your strength to me?"
Although the attack just now looked impressive, given his Armament Haki and Tekkai level, he shouldn't have much of a problem afterward; at most, his clothes might get a little messy.
But now this new member has actually 'saved' him, which is really speechless.
"No, I'm just here on Team Leader Ron's orders to test the differences between myself and this native Kabaneri. Please, Captain, let me have this opponent. Please!"
Steve Guts behaved very modestly and gave Laskey ample respect, which made the latter's expression more pleasant.
"Knew."
After saying that, Laskey disappeared from his spot and quickly left for the location of Team Leader Ron and the others, which made the former show a relieved expression.
However, the 'Nue' transformed into Horobi was not interested in him. Instead, it focused on Laskey's figure and rushed over. Steve Guts snorted coldly and, in the blink of an eye, intercepted it, turning into specks of blue light.
[Bang!]
The latter grabbed the Daikoku blade that was slashing towards him with his hand, which was covered by a layer of black bio-armor, and let the two rub against each other, creating sparks.
Steve Guts grinned at the Horobi emitting an unintelligible roar before him and said, "Quite a beauty, my kind~~"
At this moment, the blue light from the hearts of the two opposing fighters shone brightly in mid-air, one driven to madness, the other with clear eyes.
"Heh--"
With a roar filled with killing intent and savagery, like the sound of a drum announcing the start of the battle, the two 'Nue' transformed Kabaneri unleashed their powerful auras, radiating large amounts of bluish-purple spiritual energy.
The blades and gauntlets formed from sticky black threads in their hands clashed violently once more, producing a series of deafening metallic clangs.
The surrounding ground trembled and cracked as the two suddenly engaged in a high-speed battle, and the air rippled violently like waves.
Two black figures, both shimmering with a faint blue light, constantly crisscrossed the battlefield within a hundred-meter radius, each collision unleashing a surge of purplish-blue energy waves.
"The spiritual energy they use is somewhat like Haki, but compared to Haki, it gives people a more violent feeling and has a clear spiritual impact."
Having returned to Team Leader Ron's side, Laskey frowned as he watched the fierce battle between the two, pondering to himself. At this moment, four more men in black appeared around them in afterimages, making Biba Amatori feel even more desperate and helpless. He felt that apart from the researcher named Ron, he couldn't defeat any of the men in black.
"Where exactly does this World Government come from?"
"Team leader!"
"Team leader!"
It turned out that the other CP9 teams had arrived. Laskey frowned and asked coldly, "Where are the other two teams? Don't tell me they haven't arrived yet."
