Bang!!!
The violent pressure sent the tables and chairs flying. Many people stumbled backward, all staring intently at the center.
Baccarat's right hand flowed with wine-red Haki as she blocked the Vice Admiral's attack with one hand.
The ground beneath her bare feet cracked. The only things the impact lifted were her wine-red hair and the hem of her long dress, revealing the faintest glimpse of skin.
But no one present was looking at that glimpse.
"How can she be this strong?"
"That was a Vice Admiral's attack!"
Many people swallowed in disbelief.
She had blocked a Vice Admiral's strongest attack with just one hand.
And he was a Marine Vice Admiral.
"Your Life Return still needs a little work."
Baccarat smiled as she pointed her gun at the Vice Admiral and spoke, her red lips mere inches away.
But the Vice Admiral was tough, too.
His forehead bulged as Armament Haki covered it. Clearly, he'd hardened himself to the limit.
Clang!
Metal clashed, sparks showered everywhere, and the Vice Admiral's head snapped back as he was sent flying. He crashed into a palace, causing a tremendous roar as dust billowed in every direction.
"When I get back, I'll have Caesar improve this properly. This golden pistol still doesn't pack enough punch."
Baccarat twirled her gun, looking a little impatient.
The Vice Admiral wasn't dead.
The golden pistol simply wasn't powerful enough to break through his defenses.
Of course...
Baccarat hadn't used Armament Haki with all her strength, either.
Bang, bang, bang!!!
Even so, the pistol was more than enough to take out everyone else there.
After emptying three magazines, Baccarat regretfully tucked the golden pistol back into her thigh-high stocking, then pulled a dagger from the stocking on her left leg.
A woman ought to carry a few weapons
