Negative Hollow

"Come on, sailors!"

Franky, standing rooted to the spot and enduring all the Navy's bullets, laughed loudly and shouted, "Let's see if your bullets can break through my defenses!"

As he spoke, Franky took a few steps forward, his gesture full of provocation.

This scene infuriated the navy, and they pulled the trigger even faster.

"This is too dangerous," Mahavise said, looking at the bullets flying past him. "What if they hit us?"

Although the navy did not specifically attack them, no one knew whether bullets would hit them.

Upon hearing this, Senor Pink glanced at the navy personnel, then stepped forward and said, "Hey, navy, wait a minute."

"Who gave you permission to come here?"

"How dare you trespass on our family's territory... Are you courting death?"

This is one of the most important places for the Donquixote Family; if the navy discovers anything unusual, they're doomed.

Upon hearing this, the Navy halted their actions, then turned to Senor Pink and said, "Our target is Franky, the Cyborg from the Straw Hat Crew!"

"If you don't want to get involved, quickly step aside."

"Ha?"

Senor Pink was visibly taken aback; were these navy personnel really this arrogant?

Then, he said with dissatisfaction, "You mere navy, don't try to order me around!"

With that, Senor Pink took out two shoe brushes, applied toothpaste, and then began brushing his teeth.

This scene left everyone present completely stunned.

"What?"

"You're brushing your teeth with a shoe brush?"

"And there are two of them..."

What kind of operation is this?

For a moment, no one knew what to say.

"Senor Pink is a Donquixote Family, you know!" the woman beside him chuckled. "He's incredibly powerful!"

"So you'd better listen to him~"

Upon hearing the voices of several women, Senor Pink stopped brushing his teeth, then said coldly:

"You lot, shut up!"

"It's not a matter of strength or weakness."

"It's a matter of staking a man's dignity!"

Ah~

"So forceful..."

The navy officer glanced at the women slumped on the ground, clearly puzzled. Were these women out of their minds?

Forget it, I can't be bothered with them.

Then, a navy officer looked at Senor Pink and said, "Even if you're an officer, you won't get away with disobeying the navy!"

As they spoke, the sailors raised their Flintlock, looking like they were saying, "If you don't behave, we won't be so polite."

This scene infuriated Senor Pink and Mahavise.

"Don't attack them," the Vice Admiral had been silent until now, said. "Put your guns away."

"Vice Admiral Lieutenant General?"

"Um."

After nodding to his subordinates, the Vice Admiral looked at Señor and Senor Pink and said, "The matter of the Navy's intervention has already been agreed upon by Mr. Issho and Doflamingo, so let's avoid conflict between us."

If possible, he doesn't want to clash with Doflamingo's subordinates right now.

After all... that would be disadvantageous for them.

"Although this may sound unpleasant, since the young master is already aware of it, we have no objections," Senor Pink said.

Although we don't know what the young master is planning, since we've already established a cooperative relationship, there's no need to clash with these guys.

Just then, Senor Pink heard Franky playing the guitar, which startled him. Why was he playing the guitar?

The navy personnel, who also noticed this, opened their shark mouths and roared, "Why are you so relaxed?!"

Not only did he not take the opportunity to escape, but he even took out a guitar and started playing a tune... Is he kidding me?

"Because I'm incredibly bored," Franky said. "After all, you guys haven't been attacking since just now."

Franky strummed his guitar again and continued, "Alright, listen to my Pirate Blues."

"Who would listen to that, you bastard!"

The Vice Admiral glanced at Franky, somewhat speechless, then shouted, "All personnel, listen to my command!"

"The attack shall commence immediately."

"If we can't capture Franky, the Cyborg from the Straw Hat Crew Pirates, alive, then turn him into a pile of scrap metal!"

"Profound!!"

The sailors roared, their expressions growing increasingly fierce.

So what if they're Cyborg?

They've hunted down countless pirates alongside the Admiral, so they have no reason to fear a weakling with a bounty of less than 100 million.

"I'm always ready," Franky, putting away his guitar and standing up. "Come on, let me test your skills."

Although he couldn't go in and destroy the Factory right now, he could at least hold these guys off and prevent them from getting in Usopp's way.

"Then..."

Before the sailors could finish speaking, they noticed Senor Pink swimming next to Franky.

"Wow... you're actually swimming on land?"

What kind of ability user is this guy?

Franky glanced at the guy, watching him return to the recliner and lie down, looking even more relaxed than he was.

"What an arrogant guy," Franky said.

Perona, who was hiding on a high place, saw this scene and nodded in agreement. This guy was indeed a bit too arrogant.

This is war!

After shaking her head, Perona floated down and landed next to Franky.

"Oh?"

Franky glanced at the Little Ghost with surprise, then smiled and said, "Perona, what brings you here?"

"I arrived a long time ago."

Perona stared at Senor Pink in the distance and said, "I just saw you were taking your time, so I wasn't in a hurry to come out."

As she spoke, Perona glanced up at the sky, estimating that Merry would arrive soon.

Franky glanced up at the sky with some confusion, and after seeing nothing, he looked down and said, "You're not..."

"I just came to help you."

Franky immediately understood; the real Perona was probably down there causing trouble for Usopp and the others, and what had come here was just a clone of Perona.

Since that's the case, then he has nothing more to say.

"In that case, let's make this a big deal," Franky said with a loud laugh.

The more commotion they make here, the safer Usopp and his friends will be!

Perona nodded in deep agreement.

"Um."

"Perona ..."

Senor Pink, staring at the Little Ghost floating beside Franky, muttered, "Is that Ghost Princess?"

Ghost Princess ate the Spirit-Spirit Fruit. I've heard that her ghosts can make people very negative, but I wonder how effective they are.

With that in mind, Senor Pink said, "Let me see your level first."

"Hmph, what an arrogant fellow."

Perona snorted, then charged towards the distant navy without hesitation.

"Feel the power of my negativity!"

As they were speaking, several more Negative Ghost fell from the ceiling and then quickly rushed towards the navy below.

"What the hell is this? Why are there so many of them?"

"This is Ghost Princess's Devil Fruit power!"

"Fire! Fire!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the navy personnel immediately raised their Flintlock and launched an attack on the Ghost Clone in the sky.

Unfortunately... these bullets simply couldn't hit the intangible Negative Ghost.

"Hala hala hala~"

"It's useless!"

Perona laughed and said, "Your bullets have no effect on me!"

As he spoke, the body of the Negative Ghost passed through the bodies of the sailors, instantly freezing them in place.

Then, these people lay down on the ground, looking dejected.

"I... I'm utterly useless."

"What kind of navy am I? I'm not even as good as a maggot..."

"If there is an afterlife, I would like to be a paramecium."

"Um?"

Senor Pink, reclining on the deck chair, immediately showed surprise in his eyes and said, "Is this Ghost Princess's negative ability?"

It's truly terrifying that these battle-hardened marines have been reduced to this state.

Mahavise, on the other hand, looked at Perona with a wary gaze; he didn't want to encounter such a strange and unusual thing.

"Hala hala hala~"

"Now you know how powerful I am, right?" Perona laughed.

Franky, meanwhile, activated the rocket launchers on his shoulders and attacked the Marines who hadn't been hit by Perona.

"Franky rocket launch!"

"Bump!"

"Bump!"

"Bump!"

A barrage of shells flew from Franky's shoulder, hitting the navy personnel behind him with pinpoint accuracy, sending them screaming in agony as they were thrown about.

"They didn't even touch those demoralized guys?" Senor Pink watched Franky's retreating figure, a smirk playing on his lips. "What a tough bastard."

At that moment, Senor Pink sensed that this guy who liked to wear his underwear on the outside was a little different.

Then, Senor Pink turned his attention to Perona, who was flying around aimlessly, and pondered how he could take her down.

"Damn Ghost Princess."

The Vice Admiral glared angrily at Perona and said, "Stop right there!"

"Hala hala hala~"

"No."

Perona, controlling the Little Ghost, made a face at the Vice Admiral and then said, "Go ahead and kill me if you dare."

After saying that, Perona ignored the angry Vice Admiral and flew towards the other marines, intending to continue demoralizing them.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Vice Admiral's Anger Value its peak.

"Then go die."

After saying that, he wrapped his Haki around his enormous Serrated Saber, and then appeared beside Perona with a swift movement.

"Tiger Shark Bite!"

"Puff!"

An incredibly terrifying slash struck Perona's Negative Ghost it in two with a single blow.

Then, the Flying Slash passed over Perona's body and struck the building behind her.

"Clang!"

"Boom!!"

With a single stroke, he cleaved the ceiling above his head!

"Varied...?!"

Seeing her clone being destroyed, Perona was immediately surprised. This man was actually a Haki expert?

"Surprised?"

The Vice Admiral coldly observed Perona's other clones and said, "No matter what kind of Devil Fruit ability it is, it will be countered by Haki. That's common knowledge."

While the opponent's Devil Fruit ability is indeed troublesome, it doesn't mean there's no way to deal with it.

As long as you master powerful Armament Haki, you can break through your opponent's abilities.

"Is it Haki...?"

Senor Pink stared at the clones and muttered, "That's certainly true."

Just as that Vice Admiral said, Devil Fruit abilities are countered by Haki; this is a consensus on this high seas.

In that case, he wasn't so afraid of this guy anymore.

Although his mastery of Haki tactics isn't particularly high, it should be more than enough to deal with this woman.

Perona retorted, annoyed, "So what if you're Haki?"

Damn it, if only she could have some kind of Haki, then there would be a chance she could wrap that Haki around the Negative Ghost.

"That's right, having Haki is impressive." The Vice Admiral replied, then turned to his subordinates and roared, "Get yourselves together, you idiots!"

Unfortunately, these guys couldn't break free from Perona's Negative Hollow; it would take them at least a while to get back on their feet.

Seeing this, the Vice Admiral temporarily abandoned the remaining men and turned to his subordinates who were still standing, saying, "Use the latest type of shells to deal with Franky. Leave the woman to me."

After saying this, the Vice Admiral disappeared from the spot once again.

When it reappeared, it was already next to Perona's clone.

"Puff!"

With a single strike, he shattered another clone.

And so, the Vice Admiral used his greatsword to eliminate Perona's clones one by one, until only one remained.

"What a terrifying guy."

Perona's last remaining clone flew into the sky, clearly not intending to continue causing trouble for the Navy, otherwise Franky would lose his means of contacting his other companions.

"Quickly, that woman has been subdued by the Vice Admiral, let's attack Franky!" the other sailors shouted.

"Oh!!"

Without further ado, the navy personnel immediately loaded the special weapons they had brought with them into the cannons, and then planned to use these weapons to attack Franky.

Seeing this, Perona shouted, "Franky, I can't help you!"

"It's alright, leave it to me."

Franky grinned and said, "I'll take whatever moves they come up with."

New weapons?

Regardless of what it was, he didn't believe the other party could break through his defenses.

"What an arrogant guy!" the navy roared. "Open fire! Take him down!"

"Profound!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sailors pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The next moment, several Special Incendiary Shell flew out of the cannon and hit Franky precisely.

"Bump!"

"Boom!!"

In just a moment, Franky was completely ignited!
