Gion frowned slightly as she looked at the man with the lion's mouth in front of her.
She turned around and called out to those behind her with a blank expression.
"Sir, there's a strange-looking fellow here. He looks like..."
At this point, Gion turned and glanced at the lion's mouth again.
Seeing that the lion's mouth was trembling but it showed no sign of resistance, Gion nodded slightly and continued to shout at Gawain.
"He really does look silly; he must be a unique resident of the Florian Triangle, right?"
In short, the environment is safe, you can log in now.
After saying that, Gion, with her left hand on the sword at her waist, walked expressionlessly toward the man with the lion's mouth.
As he walked, he suddenly pulled out his Konpira.
Before Absalom's utterly shocked eyes, Gion suddenly drew her sword and charged forward!
Bite!
Gion's sword struck the man with the lion's mouth directly on the wrist.
Strangely, even though there was nothing near the man's wrist, Gion's slash still produced a brief metallic clang.
And a moment later...
Thump!
A severed artillery firing device fell out of thin air near the man's wrist and crashed to the ground.
The man with the lion's mouth stared wide-eyed, unable to believe how Gion could see the weapon on his wrist!
Amidst the utterly shocked gaze of the man with the lion's mouth, Gion chuckled dismissively and said...
"A user of the Clear-Clear Fruit, huh? It's a decent Devil Fruit, but you've used it terribly."
"Now, kneel down to the side!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gion's long sword twirled slightly and then rested directly against Absalom's neck.
Absalom is said to have the mouth of a lion, the skin of an elephant, and the arms of Masira.
But what about elephant skin?
Even an elephant couldn't stop Gion's sword.
Unless it's Zunesha, there's only a tiny chance, haha, but could Absalom even get their hands on Zunesha's skin?
Do they have that capability?
Just as Gion brought Absalom under control, Gawain slowly stepped off Laboon's back.
After landing lightly on the ground, Gawain looked around, then raised his head and stretched out his arms.
Thump!
Hancock landed directly in Gawain's arms.
After being caught by Gawain, Hancock happily put her legs together and nestled in Gawain arms for a while before finally jumping to the ground.
Meanwhile, on Laboon's back.
Shirahoshi cautiously glanced down.
When she saw Hancock successfully land in Gawain's arms, she wagged her big tail expectantly.
"Gawain, I... I want a hug too~~~."
"May I jump down, Gawain?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shirahoshi flicked his big tail eagerly, ready to jump.
Seeing Shirahoshi's behavior, what could Gawain say? He rolled his eyes and nodded.
"Jump!"
After saying that, Gawain's body suddenly expanded, and in just about two seconds, Gawain had reached a height of nearly ten meters.
Of course, most of his body was not solid at the moment; those parts were all composed of lightning and linked together.
There was nothing he could do, despite his best efforts to control the swelling of his cells and muscles.
His rudimentary skills, far from reaching the pinnacle of Seimei Kikan, can only manifest in this immature form...
But that was enough. Gawain stretched out his arm, which was made of lightning, and nodded to the Shirahoshi above.
Seeing this, Shirahoshi excitedly clutched her heart with both hands, then flicked her tail and landed directly towards Gawain.
Whoosh~~~.
One kilometer, two kilometers.
After descending nearly 2.3 kilometers, Shirahoshi closed her eyes tightly and happily fell into Gawain's arms.
Boom!!!
The ground beneath Gawain's feet instantly cracked, and he himself sank slightly.
Fortunately, he eventually caught Shirahoshi in his arms.
Sensing the fall stop, Shirahoshi closed her eyes and nervously hugged Gawain's neck.
"Aaaaaaah!!!"
At that moment, she suddenly screamed.
She didn't scream when she jumped, and she didn't scream when she fell.
Once she landed, she cried out like a little Merfolk about to be cooked...
Gawain's Byakugan- roll became even more pronounced.
At the same time, whoosh!
With a muffled thud, Yixiao landed beside Gawain, carrying a small patch of ground beneath her feet.
Before he could even stand still, he picked up the knife and walked towards Gion.
After a quick glance, he gently raised his right hand.
Suddenly, Absalom floated up uncontrollably!
"This... this is...?!?"
He was so frightened that he couldn't help but scream, and as he screamed, he worriedly thought of his master!
It's unclear why these creatures landed on a gigantic Island Whale.
Judging by the strength of these individuals alone, their master would have a hard time withstanding their malice.
As for whether these people came with good intentions?
How could that be!
There's never any inexplicable kindness on this vast ocean, has there?!
Beside him, Yixiao ignored Absalom's reaction and simply manipulated Absalom to float in front of him.
Meeting Absalom's gaze, which was a mixture of worry and fear, he smiled and asked emotionlessly.
"Say your name."
"I... I am Absalom, one of the three Monster under my master's command!"
My Devil Fruit is Clear-Clear Fruit, the parts on my body were transplanted to me by Hogback, I am still the leader of zombie soldiers and zombie commanders, I am still..."
"Zombies?"
Hearing this, Yi Xiao couldn't help but tilt her head slightly, listening to the chaotic footsteps around her.
His ears twitched twice, and then he turned to face Gion.
"Gion, are those really zombies?"
Because I couldn't feel their heartbeats or breathing, I thought they were a group of dolls.
As it turned out, their problem was more serious than I had imagined.
It's a technique for manipulating the living and the dead!
As soon as he finished speaking, Yixiao reached out and grabbed Absalom's chin, his furry lion's mouth.
He pinched the protruding lips hard, smiled coldly, and said.
"Who is it that is changing you, or rather, changing you all!"
"It's Hogback, cough cough, he's the one who modified all the zombies' bodies!"
It's all his fault! These things have nothing to do with the master. The master just randomly assigned a few shadows!
"Sir, please don't hurt my Lord..."
"Shut up!"
Yi Xiao tightly gripped Absalom's mouth, and then the air around him suddenly rippled.
With the sweep of Observation Haki, in a short time, Issho's Observation Haki circled the entire island!
In that instant, Moria, in the distant castle, suddenly opened his eyes wide!
He hadn't experienced that kind of Observation Haki—one that was almost fearless and seemed to look down on the vast majority of life—for far too long!
Moria hurriedly got up, dragging his almost obese, round body to the castle terrace.
Looking at the forest in the distance where birds were constantly taking flight, the shadow behind Moria suddenly seemed to burn, flaring up with countless black flames!
Thump!!!
Suddenly, Moria's door was pushed open, and Perona, holding a small parasol, floated in with a smile.
"Horo horo horo~."
Lord Moria, what just happened to you?
A gigantic sperm whale has approached our island! Hooray!
I've been worried lately about not having enough perfume to make makeup for myself and my zombie crew.
As soon as I made a request, a giant whale was delivered right to my doorstep.
I truly am a woman favored by fate!
As soon as she finished speaking, Perona floated around Moria for a moment.
Seeing Perona swaying back and forth, Moria gritted his teeth and asked.
"You mean, Sea King whale just approached?"
So how did you handle it? Did you send out your animal zombies and scary zombies?
Still...?"
"Ho ho ho, I've asked Absalom to deal with that whale that came to my doorstep!"
My abilities aren't suited for fighting whales; who knows if a whale would feel disappointed?
In short, Absalom should start taking action too... Wait, what?!
At this moment, Perona's large, bright eyes, adorned with black, round, gothic eye makeup, suddenly turned and looked towards the forest!
The instant she sensed it, Absalom's body had already rushed out of the forest and was right in front of her!
As Absalom drew closer, Perona panicked and tried to run away; she didn't want to be hit by some random man!
But Absalom was too fast; Perona couldn't react in time. The moment she tried to move, Absalom was already right next to her!
Perona's screams grew louder and louder as she frantically opened her small parasol, trying to use it to block Absalom's approach!
Watching Perona's obviously futile efforts, Moria curled his lip in disgust and cursed.
"What a foolish plan, what foolish subordinates!"
I knew it. I knew humans couldn't be the best tools.
Only the dead and corpses are the most qualified crew members and soldiers!!!
As soon as he finished speaking, Moria extended his right hand, and the shadow beneath him suddenly detached from his body and began to move across the ground.
A moment later, Moria's shadow appeared in Absalom's path. Facing Absalom's ever-approaching shadow, Moria's shadow swung its right hand.
"Shadow Pin!!!"
His shadow split open slightly at his side, and then a dozen nail-like shadows appeared, pinning Absalom's moving shadow to the ground!
The instant his shadow stopped, Absalom's body also involuntarily froze in mid-air!
Before Moria could even catch his breath, a dark figure was already flying towards them from afar!
While taking in his surroundings, he smiled and reached out, slamming his hand down hard on Absalom's head!
In the distance, Moria's face stiffened violently. The shadow he was controlling was completely torn apart by the surging force of Yi Xiao!!!
Sizzle!
A faint sound of tearing cloth could be heard in the air, and Absalom's body, in the instant the shadow shattered, continued its charge towards Moria, propelled by the force of his dash.
Perona's eyes widened sharply beside Moria.
"Aaaaaah, Monster in military uniform is charging at us!!!"
Lord Moria, he he he he... he's flying!!!
"I know!"
Moria responded impatiently, then quickly opened his arms.
Behind him, an endless shadow rapidly expanded, spreading all the way toward Yixiao.
However, even though the movement of those shadows was completely silent, Ikko's Observation Haki somehow detected the change beside him.
With a smile, he freed his right hand, picked up the Staff Sword, and slashed fiercely in front of himself.
"Armament Haki: Force Break!"
With a laugh, boundless Armament Haki, flowing along the sword aura of the laugh, tore apart all the shadows that had gathered in front of him!
And then a smile...
He pressed Absalom's head down and charged through the shadows toward Moria, until he had pinned Absalom's head firmly to Moria's obese belly!
Boom!!!
Moria's belly heaved rapidly and violently, like the surface of a lake broken by a stone.
Immediately afterwards, Moria's eyeballs bulged out!
In the next instant, Moria completely lost control of his body. Like a missile, he burst through his castle and rushed towards an even farther distance.
Just as Moria was being sent flying backward, Issho threw Absalom aside and then chased after Moria!
Seeing her captain being smashed away in the blink of an eye, Perona's small mouth swelled up to the size of a slit-mouthed woman.
"Lord Moria!!!"
With a shocked roar, Perona fiercely swung her right hand.
"Miluo River, Miluo River - Negative Hollow!!!"
Beside her, more than thirty pale gray ghosts surged towards Yixiao in a massive, overwhelming attack.
Fei Dun smiled slightly, his instincts sensing some kind of danger.
But... that dangerous speed was just too slow!
Before the Negative Hollow could catch up with him, Yixiao had already rushed out of the castle and chased after Moria, who was like a shooting star!
After the smile vanished, Perona's Negative Hollow finally reached the vicinity of the castle's breach...
Seeing the two figures transform into shooting stars in the distance, Perona, who was controlling the Negative Hollow, was completely stunned.
Everything happened so fast!
One second, I was happily thinking about the perfume that sperm whales could make.
The next second, their captain and Absalom were inexplicably and terrifyingly strong, and were smashed away!
So, as one of the three most trusted Monster under the boss, what is he supposed to do now?
I don't even have the ability to keep up with their speed, so how could I possibly help my captain?
With that thought in mind, Perona carefully patted her chest, then floated to the vicinity of Absalom.
Looking at Absalom's lion-like mouth, which was constantly spitting blood, Perona asked with lingering fear.
"Absalom, are you still alive?"
If you're still alive, tell me what you've encountered!
Why would such a powerful individual come to the island?
Hey, say something! Say something, you bastard???
Even if you can't explain the details, at least tell me what kind of enemy we're facing, okay?
At least give me some information, like who they are, where they came from, how many there are, and where they are now!
You actually... hey, you moved!!!
Just then, Absalom trembled as he extended his right hand, pointing with great difficulty at Perona's astonished face.
As he struggled to hold his hand in place, Absalom coughed up blood and spoke.
"In... in..."
"Where? What do you want to say? Wait!"
Why can't you see only my reflection in your eyes?
So, that shadow is... who is he?!?
As she spoke, Perona turned around, trembling!
Before she could even see who was behind her, she was slapped hard on the head.
Thump!
Without any strength to struggle, Perona collapsed to the ground...
Perona watched the little girl slump to the ground, Gawain shrugged, pursing his lips.
"This little girl's Devil Fruit is quite troublesome, hehe."
I don't want to experience the effects of his Negative Hollow.
After all, the more proactive a person is, the less they can resist that thing.
That said, this woman's Devil Fruit is quite potent.
Happy New Year, everyone!!!
I'm sending you New Year's greetings, hahaha!!
Wishing everyone a happy new year filled with delicious food and excellent health!
Love you all!
