Chapter 390: Big Mom Pirates Extermination Battle!
"Huff... huff..."
With heavy breaths rising and falling from his chest, Charlotte Daifuku knelt on one knee in disarray, greedily sucking in the air around him.
His body was covered in wounds and wracked with pain. The subordinates who had been guarding him earlier had already all perished in the laser explosions.
A brilliant sword light flashed past. Charlotte Daifuku rolled desperately across the ground to evade Kizaru's slash, then roared as he rose and threw a punch!
"Bang!"
His pitch-black fist, carrying tremendous force, collided with Kizaru's light sword. Everything around them was instantly destroyed by the massive impact, and deep ravines split open across the already battered ground.
Though the genie had resolved most problems whenever it acted in the past, that did not mean Charlotte Daifuku himself lacked strength.
Otherwise, he could not have previously joined forces with the genie summoned by his ability to hold Kizaru back.
While he had relied on the genie's special traits, Charlotte Daifuku's own strength had also played a crucial role.
"Ooh? What impressive spirit~"
Kizaru held the Ama no Murakumo Sword, still wearing his usual lazy expression. He looked at the furious Charlotte Daifuku and gave a mocking smile. "I just wonder whether your little sister can be as spirited as you~"
"You..." Charlotte Daifuku's pupils instantly shrank to pinpoints as he involuntarily looked toward where Smoothie was fighting.
There, he saw Smoothie barely surviving under the joint assault of the two monsters, Sakazuki and Fujitora. She could only desperately fend off their attacks, as though the next strike might end her life.
"Daydreaming in the middle of a fight isn't a good habit, you know~"
That lazy voice rang out beside him once more.
