Boom!!
A bloodthirsty crimson sword aura shot into the sky, and a violent shockwave erupted from the distance.
"Hey! What's going on over there? Is there another powerful enemy?"
"But shouldn't they have already been wiped out by Kizaru and the Fleet Admiral?"
Countless people turned their eyes toward the scene, their expressions uncertain as they discussed the battle erupting in the distance.
A thought suddenly flashed through Dawn's mind. Still in midair, he immediately accelerated toward the battlefield.
Mochi Thrust!!
Katakuri held a rapidly spinning trident as it slammed fiercely against Shiryu of the Rain's pitch-black blade.
Sparks burst between their weapons. One wielded a sword, the other a trident, and in the blink of an eye, they had exchanged hundreds of blows.
Falling Rain Mochi!!
After another collision, the two swiftly separated. Katakuri instantly pressed his hand to the ground, and countless sharp strands of mochi erupted from the area transformed into mochi, sweeping up Shiryu of the Rain along with Hina and the others who had tried to support him.
Everyone struck out to defend themselves, while Katakuri rapidly retreated with the gathered pirates. In the blink of an eye, they vanished into the ruined town.
"Damn it! They got away again!!"
Sola stomped her foot, her expression dark. "Where did these people even come from? They showed up once before, and now that we finally managed to fight them, we still couldn't keep them here."
Earlier, Hina and the others had already wiped out all the surrounding pirates and were resting in place. Yet a group of pirates suddenly appeared nearby. Before anyone could chase them, they turned through a few streets in town and disappeared.
This time, everyone had been more vigilant and blocked them off, only to discover that their opponents were incredibly strong.
