Fast? Wind Attribute Specializes in Dealing with Speed!
Unfortunately, Dellinger still didn't really take Senor Pink's words to heart.
After all, in his view, no matter how Lihai this little girl was, she could never be his match.
He then dusted himself off, strode forward a few steps, and said to Merry, "Merry, right? I won't go easy on you just because you're a child."
As he spoke, Dellinger revealed a mouthful of fangs, and a hint of crimson appeared in his eyes.
Clearly, his aggressive nature, typical of Fighting Fish (a Chinese live streaming platform), was activated.
"I don't need you to give way to me."
Merry scoffed and said, "Because I will defeat you with my own strength!"
Did they really think she was a helpless little girl?
You must be joking!
Now, she is an elf who controls the Wind Force!
To this, Dellinger merely gave a cold laugh and said nothing more.
"Vice Admiral, what should we do?" A navy officer cautiously approached his Vice Admiral and asked, "Should we attack together?"
Although their target this time is the Straw Hat Pirates, asking them to harm such a cute little girl is really...
"I know what you're thinking," the Vice Admiral said sternly, "But as you've seen, this little girl isn't as simple as you think."
"So don't be careless, just do what needs to be done."
If he hadn't witnessed this little girl's power, he might have softened as well.
But... he had already witnessed the opponent's power!
That kind of invisible attack could definitely kill most of the marines present!
Therefore, we must not be careless.
"Yes, we understand."
Since their superiors had said so, they couldn't say anything more and could only obey.
"You bunch of useless marines, don't touch this guy," Dellinger said. "Leave him to me."
After finishing his sentence, Dellinger paused, then said in a mocking tone, "Anyway, corpses are all the same."
The implication is that you bunch of useless trash are no match for this guy, so he'll take care of him and help the Navy complete their mission.
"You!"
The navy personnel who understood Dellinger's words were immediately enraged. What did this bastard mean?
Seeing this, the Vice Admiral raised his hand, signaling his subordinates to calm down, and then said to Dellinger, "Whatever."
Since this guy likes to show off, let him show off. Anyway, my mission here is to kill the Cyborg Franky.
We'll deal with this guy first, then we can think about this little girl named Merry.
"You guys know what's good for you."
Dellinger snorted and then strode towards Merry.
Seeing this, the Vice Admiral looked down at his men and said, "Let's go take out Franky."
"Profound!"
The sailors nodded, then strode off to follow their Vice Admiral toward Franky in the distance.
Franky, however, paid no attention to the reactions of these guys; he was staring intently at Merry's retreating figure.
After thinking for a moment, Franky said, "Merry, is it alright to leave him to you?"
"No problem."
Without turning her head, Merry gave Franky a thumbs-up, indicating that she had no problem handling him.
"Good."
Franky smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to the marines walking towards him.
"Then let's begin the second round," Franky grinned.
"What an arrogant guy."
The Vice Admiral said in a deep voice, "Take him down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the navy men beside him immediately raised their weapons and pulled the triggers without any mercy towards Franky.
The Vice Admiral himself raised his greatsword and unleashed a terrifying Flying Slash.
"Good timing!" Franky exclaimed.
As he spoke, he raised his hands and crossed them in front of his body.
The next moment...
"Clang!"
"Squeak squeak squeak~"
"What?!"
Seeing Franky slide backward a short distance, the Vice Admiral's eyes widened in surprise.
This guy was sent flying after taking a hit from my knife, so why is he only sliding a short distance now?
"Ha!"
Franky roared and Flying Slash on his arm.
Then, he grinned and said, "Surprised?"
"I just didn't realize it before, but this time I'm prepared."
After saying this, Franky raised his left hand, released the smaller hand from his palm, and gestured to the Vice Admiral to continue, indicating that he would take over.
But this action was precisely what made the Vice Admiral feel humiliated.
Then, he charged at Franky, wielding his large sword and engaging Franky in a fierce battle.
Meanwhile, Merry stared intently at Dellinger, her eyes never once looking away.
After all, this was her only formal one-on-one fight against an enemy officer, so she had to be cautious.
"Although I don't know what your abilities are, but..." Dellinger bared his fangs and said, "You're nothing compared to my speed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dellinger vanished from the spot.
Upon seeing this, Merry was immediately startled.
'Extreme speed?'
So, this guy is a speedster?
As she thought this, Merry's body quickly rose into the air to avoid the enemy's attack.
The next moment...
"Clang!"
"Boom!!"
Dellinger appeared where Merry had just been, and bit down on a boulder, crushing it into pieces!
Merry, who witnessed this scene, was immediately startled.
Luckily she took flight, otherwise she would have been bitten to death.
Perona exclaimed in surprise, "What terrifying teeth!"
If you got bitten, wouldn't you be torn in two?
Thinking of this, Perona quickly rushed towards Merry, intending to use her Negative Hollow to help Merry.
But she hadn't flown very far when Merry stopped her.
"It's alright, Perona," Merry said with a smile from mid-air. "I can handle it."
Although her speed and teeth are terrifying, she's no pushover either.
Seeing that Merry had said so, Perona gave up her plan to go and help.
After saying that, Merry turned her gaze back to Dellinger, who was staring at her below.
Do you know what the wind is?
"Ha?"
Several question marks popped into Dellinger's head. What did he mean by knowing what wind was?
What else could the wind be?
Wind is just wind.
He can feel the wind moving in the air every day.
It could even be said that he can sense the flow of the wind better than humans, after all... he is a hybrid of a fighting fish and a human, so his skin is very special.
"Little brat, are you going to hit me or not?"
"Of course we'll fight."
Merry gently raised her hand, cradling a soft breeze in it, and continued, "It's just to let you know what kind of opponent you're facing before the fight begins."
"Oh?"
"Then tell me," Dellinger said, hands on his hips. "What is wind?"
If he can obtain enough intelligence before the battle, it won't do him any harm.
To his surprise, Merry didn't explain what the wind was; instead, she made a face at him.
"Hehehe~"
"I'm not telling you," Merry chuckled. "I'm not stupid."
Xi Yan had told her to keep her information hidden, so she wouldn't naively reveal it.
Dellinger:???
No, so it turns out this little girl was deliberately trying to annoy him?
"How boring."
That's true, but veins were bulging on Dellinger's face, clearly he was furious with Merry.
Without further ado, he vanished from his spot in an instant.
When they reappeared, they were already in front of Merry.
"Die!"
Dellinger, who appeared in mid-air, swung his Whip Kick at Merry with a ferocious expression.
If this blow lands, he's confident he can kick the other person's head off!
The next moment...
"Bump!"
"Varied...?!"
Seeing the semi-transparent wind wall that suddenly appeared and blocked his attack, several question marks immediately popped up above Dellinger's head.
What the hell is this thing?
With this question in mind, Dellinger slowly plummeted downwards until he hit the ground, still unable to figure out what that thing had been.
"Air?" Senor Pink frowned and said, "Or something else?"
That translucent wall looked like it was made of some kind of special gas, but didn't the Gas-Gas Fruit and the Moku Moku no Mi already have owners?
"This little guy is already this good?" Franky said, somewhat surprised.
He remembered that Merry's Wind Barrier could only block enemy cannons, so how come it could now block Body Technique attacks?
This really surprised him.
However... this is actually a good thing, hahaha.
Perona praised, "You're quite capable."
That's...
Little Merry in the air put her hands on her hips, looking incredibly smug, which made Perona laugh.
Merry didn't continue to watch Perona's reaction, but instead looked down at Dellinger below.
"You are indeed very fast, but unfortunately you ran into me."
As a wind-controlling sprite, it is naturally very effective against speed-type opponents.
After all... when the other party moves, the wind will tell her where the other party will appear.
In this way... she can react in advance.
It can be said that as long as the opponent's destructive power cannot penetrate her Wind Barrier, it is impossible to defeat her.
"Who are you trying to scare?" Dellinger chuckled and said, "Although I don't know what that was, as long as I'm fast enough and strong enough, I can definitely take you down."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dellinger vanished from the spot once again.
This time, however, he did not choose to attack Merry directly. Instead, he moved quickly on the ground, looking for an angle to attack Merry.
After realizing what the other person was thinking, Merry shut her mouth and focused all her attention on using the Power of Wind to sense the other person's location.
'Left... right... left... front... behind!'
The moment she sensed the other person appear behind her, Merry activated her ability to create a wind wall, forcefully blocking Dellinger's path.
The next moment...
"Bump!"
The incredibly heavy Whip Kick struck the wind wall, causing it to tremble, but it failed to shatter it.
Dellinger frowned upon seeing this, but he didn't say anything more and disappeared from the spot again.
And so, Dellinger began frantically moving around Merry, launching attacks every now and then, but each time he failed to hit Merry, which frustrated him greatly, yet he was helpless.
"Looks like I'll have to step in," Mahavise said.
As he spoke, his body began to slowly float into the air, rising higher and higher.
This action immediately caught Merry's attention.
"This is... Devil Fruit User?"
He had heard his Grandma Za mention the Float-Float Devil Fruit User, Shiki, so that's the first thing that came to mind.
"No, I'm not a Devil Fruit User," Mahavise grinned, "But I can still take you down."
As he spoke, Mahavise's body slowly began to move upwards towards Merry.
"I've heard Leo mention this guy's ability," Perona said. "It's something like being able to change his weight."
"Change weight?"
Merry looked surprised. What use was this ability?
However, since the other party was planning to attack her, she also included them in her battle plans.
The next moment...
"50-Ton Vise!"
"Whoosh~"
Suddenly, Mahavise plummeted from mid-air, hurtling towards Merry like a cannonball at incredible speed!
Upon seeing this, Perona rushed towards Mahavise, but this time he was falling too fast, and she couldn't reach him in time.
Therefore, Merry will have to deal with this on her own, since... her true form isn't here.
Upon seeing Mahavise's attack, Merry quickly activated her ability to create a wind wall above her head, intending to use it to block the attack.
Unfortunately... she miscalculated this time.
"Click~"
"Boom!"
"What?!"
Looking at the wind wall that had been smashed to pieces, a look of surprise immediately appeared in Merry's eyes.
How did they manage to break through her wind barrier?
What a terrifying guy!
As she thought this, Merry quickly moved to the side to dodge the attack.
The next moment...
"Boom!!"
Mahavise crashed into the ground below, creating a huge crater!
"Cough cough..."
The sailors, coughing and choked by the smoke, exclaimed, "What kind of outrageous attack method is this now?"
Suicide attack?
"Huh~"
"My stomach hurts so much!"
"So it can cause stomach aches?!"
The sailors were dumbfounded when they saw the burly man crawling out of the crater clutching his stomach.
If it causes stomach pain, why use such a method of attack?
Isn't this a bit too outrageous?
Merry and Perona stared at Mahavise speechlessly. Was this guy an idiot?
Isn't he afraid of dying from his own moves?
