Whole Cake Island Annihilated (2)

On the storm-ravaged land, Smoothie's expression was solemn.

Douglas Bare, Enel... are the Hell Pirates.

She realized that not only her mother had encountered an opponent, but Katakuri was also entangled.

Doflamingo's pretense of discussing cooperation was actually a scheme to manipulate Totto Land.

The rumors are true; Doflamingo is indeed colluding with the God Slayer.

"Kill one first..." After a brief moment of hesitation, Smoothie made her decision. She didn't need to worry about her mother for now... Although the opponent was a formidable foe of equal strength, she firmly believed that her mother wouldn't lose. The most important thing to do right now was to help Katakuri deal with his opponent, because... perhaps all the executives of the Hell Pirates had arrived.

Seizing the initiative at this time is extremely important.

"Oh?"

"At such a critical moment, you still have the mind to worry about others..."

Suddenly, a sinister yet deep male voice rang out from behind, filled with a hint of mockery.

Behind Smoothie, who was kneeling on the ground, a pair of blood-red eyes lit up, and a figure appeared, exuding a chilling murderous aura.

Startled, the woman braced herself against her injuries, twisted her waist, and swung her greatsword, intending to launch a preemptive attack.

But as soon as she turned around, before her sword energy could even burst forth, the world in her vision froze.

The next second, a sharp pain shot through her chest. Her opponent slashed at her with lightning speed and precision, the blood-red blade flashing almost tangible... sending her over four-meter-tall body flying more than ten meters away, crashing to the ground, even throwing her weapon away.

With a whoosh, the man flicked the blood off his demonic blade and strode leisurely toward the fallen woman.

He slowly exhaled smoke from the cigar in his mouth, unhurriedly.

"Smoothie, the Minister of Juice, is not only a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user, but also a remarkable swordsman, a half-human, half-human Longleg Tribe member, with a bounty approaching one billion." Shiryu said, tucking the cigar from his mouth into his mouth with one hand. "If someone like you were caught by the World Government, you'd probably be locked up in Impel Down's Infinite Hell. Even among monsters, you'd be considered one of the stronger ones..."

"You!"

Smoothie's hands trembled as she tried to prop herself up, her body covered in horrifying knife wounds from which blood flowed incessantly.

She was careless... she didn't expect Shiryu to take the opportunity to sneak up behind her and launch a surprise attack.

"Um?"

Shiryu's eyes, gleaming with a cruel red light, darted around as he stared at the angry woman with a condescending and disdainful attitude. "Are you trying to call me despicable?"

After saying that, Xiliu revealed a row of teeth, his eyes filled with malice, "I just want to kill you... As for how to kill you, or what means to use, it doesn't matter."

Whoosh! As soon as she finished speaking, the famous sword Raiu was raised again, and the soaring crimson slash immediately sliced through the earth, heading straight for the immobile Smoothie.

In a moment of crisis, Smoothie, relying on astonishing willpower, abruptly flipped herself backward from the ground, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow. However, one of her arms was still grazed by the slash, splattering blood. But during her retreat, she picked up her weapon again.

Fighting with one hand, he kept his eyes fixed on Shiryu.

Shiryu smiled faintly at Smoothie, who had escaped danger but was already at her last gasp, showing no concern whatsoever.

He lit another cigar, placed the Raiu flat in front of him, gripped the hilt with one hand and stroked the blade with the other. His murderous eyes peered through the line formed by the back of the blade at Smoothie. "With your height... and being a long-legged tribe, you'd be quite a sight if you were chopped into a pile of minced meat."

"Wait, I'll take you to Big Mom in a moment..."

At the end, Shiryu smiled.

This blatant malice caused Smoothie's face to tighten, and the pressure in her heart rose to its extreme.

Bang bang bang! On the other side, Charlotte Daifuku and Oven are fighting side by side.

They didn't even have time to examine the situation on Big Mom's side.

Daifuku rubbed his body with both hands, and the Lamp Demon, formed from a cloud of smoke, wielded a long-handled sword, swinging it left and right, unleashing powerful and sweeping sword strikes that shattered the boulders that kept crashing down on them! Oven, with blood still flowing from his head, also kept unleashing his 'Hot Wind Fist' enhanced by his Devil Fruit ability, pulverizing the boulders.

However, the sheer number of these boulders was astonishing, and their speed was terrifying.

Even if the brothers joined forces, it would be difficult to withstand them.

Having just shattered several boulders that were hurtling towards him, and before he could even change his stance, another large boulder, accompanied by a gale, was hurled at him... It slammed into Oven's body. He was struck as if by a heavy sledgehammer, flying sideways across the stone's surface before being crushed to the ground by the boulder, leaving a deep furrow in the earth.

"Oven!"

Daifuku called out.

Just as he was about to get up and help his brother out of his predicament, a dark figure flashed in front of him with agile movements.

The newcomer was bent over, and the limbs exposed outside his suit were not human-shaped, but rather leopard-print.

Zoan-type Devil Fruit user! "Six Powers Finger Pistol Pistol!"

The man uttered indifferent mutterings.

He extended a sharp finger, like a compressed spring, and pierced his chest in an instant.

Suddenly, Daifuku was struck hard, spitting out blood and rolling his eyes back.

The body fell backward.

He had already sensed that there was more than one enemy... This attacker had been lurking in the shadows, observing the brothers' abilities and looking for an opportunity to strike! Seizing upon a fleeting 'weakness,' the man had clearly succeeded!

With a whoosh, Daifuku flew out in a straight line, following in Oven's footsteps.

Rob Lucci, who had delivered the fatal blow, slowly straightened his back, lowered his arm, and remained expressionless.

"That... isn't dead yet."

At this moment, Waldo, who had been launching attacks that Charlotte Daifuku and Oven had been struggling to counter, walked over, each holding a stone the size of a cartwheel, and laughed heartily.

The beast-like Rob Lucci glanced back at Oven, but remained silent without saying anything.

The outcome was already decided... Given their condition, these two were doomed to die.

Boom! Hundreds of feet away, Dorans, whose entire upper body was enveloped in Haki, was locked in a fierce clash with a bearded man. Their punches landed with raw, unfiltered force, a pure contest of flesh and blood. One was grappling with the other, the other enduring the blows of his opponent.

Physically, Dorans was at a complete disadvantage... Even when the two were locked in a close, face-to-face confrontation like wrestlers, Dorans was constantly being pushed around by Charlotte Count, and even though Dorans's legs were already deeply embedded in the ground, he still couldn't stop the retreat.

In his demon form, Dorans seems to be no match for his opponent in terms of sheer strength.

Even Haki presence doesn't give you the upper hand.

After all, although he was a member of the Hell Pirates, because he joined the crew relatively early, the divine power and bloodline he obtained were quite ordinary.

My potential is far inferior to that of my peers; I am at the bottom.

Not far away, Kaka was fighting Charlotte Count's twin brother.

Dorans was also very self-aware, so he had been training hard all year... Since his own potential was not high, he would try every other way to improve his combat power!

For example, weapons and equipment!

"Aaaaaah!"

Charlotte Count grinned maliciously and roared, preparing to knock Dorans to the ground in an instant.

But suddenly, even as his arm swelled with blood and he exerted all his strength, Dorans in front of him remained motionless, and his backward movement was abruptly halted.

Dorans's arms erupted with a strange power, seemingly capable of slowly lifting his tall body.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that strange 'shells' were bound to the elbows of Dorans's arms. It was the 'energy' emitted from these things that gave Dorans an amplification in 'wrestling'.

Shellfish resources of the Skypiea.

"Down!"

Dorans roared.

Then, his 'small' body actually lifted the massive Charlotte Count off the ground, and then, with a powerful throw, slammed her hard into the ground.

It blasted a deep crater! Charlotte Count lost her balance instantly, and the huge impact caused saliva to fly out of her mouth.

Flames erupted from Dorans's raised fist... This ability was only possible thanks to the Skypiea Flame Dial.

With a powerful punch, Charlotte Count's head was smashed open. Due to the severe injuries from the impact, Charlotte's upper body's Haki had gone out of control, making it impossible for her to defend herself.
