As elite members of the CP organization, CP0, Roke and his two companions were not only proficient in the Six Powers, but also in Armament Haki and Observation Haki.
However, it was clear that their Observation Haki wasn't sharp enough to detect an ant on the ground. When Lipri returned to her original size and swung a punch at them.
It was too late for the three of them to dodge.
"Tekkai!"
Roke, the first to react, used one of the Six Powers, Tekkai, intending to tank Lipri's attack.
The other two had the same intention.
"Two idiots!"
In the sky, watching alongside Rocks, Moger commented without hesitation upon seeing this: "Tekkai is effective against attacks that have a wide range but low damage, but against an attack that far exceeds your capacity to withstand, it just makes you a stationary target!"
"Of these three CP agents, only the one wearing the white round hat has a chance to withstand Lipri's Haki-infused punch. The other two shouldn't have taken it head-on with him; instead, they should have used the time the white-hatted one bought them to evade Lipri's attack and counterattack her."
"The result now is that what should have been one severe injury has become three severe injuries."
Even with the physical conditioning of CP0 agents, severe injuries wouldn't completely incapacitate them, but the severity of the wounds would definitely have a huge impact on their combat effectiveness.
"Sister Lipri!"
Seeing Lipri suddenly appear before her and send the three CP0 agents flying with a single punch, Geruz, who was tied up and lying on the ground, had tears welling up in her eyes.
"Heehee, if you want to cry, wait until I'm done with those three scoundrels!"
"And you too, Healding."
"I, I won't cry!"
Hearing Lipri's words, Healding on the other side flushed red, but he only retorted once before lowering his head and falling silent.
He felt utterly humiliated.
Despite being the child of Giant King Harald, he had been secretly abducted in his sleep, becoming a prisoner without even putting up a decent fight.
Father must be so disappointed in me! the giant youth thought sadly to himself.
Ignoring the thoughts of the two children.
From the moment she appeared, it was clear this would be a swift battle.
She had seized the initiative.
After Roke and the other two CP0 agents were sent flying by her, Lipri unhesitatingly pursued them from the bow to the stern. With the colossal physique of the Giant Tribe, Lipri covered the distance in almost three to four steps.
Then, she stomped down.
Giant's Leg!
BANG!
The sturdy ship deck shattered under Lipri's stomp. Roke and the other two could only flee in disarray with their injuries, searching for an opportunity to counterattack.
"Shigan!"
Roke, whose arm was shattered, had blood streaming from his mouth and nose, but he still mustered the strength, covering his finger with Armament Haki and poking at Lipri's right foot.
However, before he could hit Lipri, he saw her body suddenly shrink.
"Devil Fruit user!"
That thought flashed through Roke's mind. He should have reacted sooner, but he was still dazed from Lipri's initial punch, which led him to make the wrong decision.
"Take this punch!"
Lipri's fist grew larger in Roke's vision. He could only helplessly use his other hand to block.
CRACK!
The sound of bone cracking echoed from Roke's arm. He felt incredibly frustrated. If Lipri hadn't ambushed him, how could he have ended up in such a state?
But who could have expected a giant to emerge from beneath their feet?
"Roke!"
"Lord Roke!"
With Roke, their leader, incapacitated, the remaining two severely injured CP0 agents were no match. Moger had his giant eagle descend, boarding the ship with Rocks.
Initially, seeing only Lipri, the remaining two CP0 agents still held a sliver of hope for escape. However, upon seeing Moger descend from the sky, they fell into complete despair.
"White Wolf Moger, why is he here?"
"Where's Admiral Scarlet Snake? Did the Admiral lose? Impossible!"
"..."
The two spoke incoherently, their gazes fixed on Moger with disbelief.
"No, that's not right, it must have been Giant King Harald who stepped in!"
"Damn it, how dare a mere Giant Tribe collude with pirates to attack a Marine Admiral? This is a provocation against the World Government, and the World Government will not let you go!"
"..."
Realizing escape was impossible, the two CP0 agents began to issue threats.
"No, you're mistaken."
Seeing the two CP0 agents underestimate Mongge, Lipri let out a displeased snort. "That Marine Admiral was repelled by our captain alone. What's so great about a Marine Admiral? He's still a defeated foe of our captain!"
"What?"
"Impossible!!"
The pupils of the two CP0 agents constricted in shock, but upon reflection, it seemed somewhat plausible.
After all, Mongge was a Great Pirate who had been active for decades.
In the past, even with Marine Admirals involved in his capture, they hadn't succeeded in catching Mongge, had they?
Coupled with the fact that Admiral Scarlet Snake was still very young.
Being defeated by the more experienced Mongge didn't seem impossible, did it?
With this thought, the two CP0 agents fell into even greater despair.
Facing an opponent who could even defeat an Admiral, they had no hope of survival.
"I can give you a chance."
Mongge's voice suddenly caught the attention of the two CP0 agents.
"If you can defeat him, I'll let you go. How about that?"
Mongge pointed to Rocks beside him and said with a smile.
Having two uninjured CP0 agents fight Rocks now would certainly not work, but it was a different story for two severely injured CP0 agents.
"So, do you have confidence?"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Mongge's words, Rocks nodded heavily, the flames of fighting spirit igniting in his eyes.
He was a genius!
If he couldn't even defeat two heavily injured enemies, what kind of genius would he be?
Seeing Rocks, whose face still held a youthful innocence, the two CP0 agents exchanged glances, feeling the same frustration as their boss.
They were CP0!
Even within the world's strongest intelligence organization, they were members at the pinnacle of the pyramid.
When had they ever been bullied by such a newcomer who had just set sail?
But Mongge was watching them menacingly from the side.
Let alone Mongge, in their current state, they couldn't even defeat that giant woman.
Not to mention the giant eagle hovering overhead.
They had no choice but to fight!
Just as the two CP0 agents made up their minds, they saw Rocks, who had been beside Mongge, disappear.
"Soru!"
Appearing in front of the two CP0 agents in an instant, Rocks had no intention of adhering to any rules about starting signals. Mongge had told him from the beginning that this sea was a cruel place.
"Rankyaku!"
One of his legs sliced towards one of the CP0 agents like a blade. The CP0 agent could even feel the powerful wind emanating from Rocks's foot before it even landed.
"What a joke!"
This CP0 agent was furious. A rookie like Rocks, even within their CP organization, would only be considered reserve personnel. How dare he attack him.
"Shigan!"
"Tekkai Kai!"
The two CP0 agents simultaneously launched an attack towards Rocks, but under their severe injuries, their reactions were clearly a beat too slow.
"Geppo!"
Rocks merely leaped forcefully, escaping the range of their attacks.
"Rankyaku: Haipa!"
Facing two enemies far superior to him for the first time, even though both CP0 agents were heavily injured, Rocks didn't dare to be careless. Realizing that close combat might lead to him being flanked, he chose a strategy of continuously kicking slashes to wear down the two CP0 agents.
Already injured, with the sea surrounding them, and with Mongge watching menacingly from the side, the two CP0 agents didn't dare to flee.
Since they couldn't run, they had no choice but to endure.
"This kind of scummy fighting style... I like it!"
Mongge's expression was strange. He had initially expected Rocks to choose a more straightforward fighting style, which would have put him at a significant disadvantage.
Instead, this kind of maneuvering had effectively worn down the two CP0 agents to their deaths.
"So strong!"
In the corner, Healding, who had already been untied by Lipri, stared blankly at Rocks. Seeing Rocks suppress two CP0 agents single-handedly, a look of shock appeared in his eyes.
After all, when he fought Rocks half a year ago, Rocks could only defeat him through sneak attacks.
But now...
Healding felt that this time, Rocks wouldn't lose even in a head-on battle with him.
Thinking this, Healding couldn't help but feel a deep sense of frustration.
Where did he go wrong?
Unlike Healding, if Healding felt dejected, Geruz, who was also captured by the three CP0 agents, was excited.
"Sister Lipri is so strong!"
"Brother Rocks is also so strong!"
"And the strongest, Uncle Mongge..."
"If I join the White Wolf Pirates, can I become this strong too?"
The girl's eyes sparkled.
