"Even that didn't kill her?"
Leaning against the Ice Wolf beside Robin, Loa watched Kizaru drift slowly down from the sky, at a loss for words. Though this was only a body double that felt no pain, the sight of that golden beam stretching across the landscape still made his back ache.
That had been Kizaru's ultimate move!
A terrifying attack on the same level as Aokiji's Ice Age and Akainu's Meteor Volcano!
And yet she had survived an attack of that caliber with the help of a Homie!
Whatever else could be said, that ability to keep her alive put Gashara's new stone Homie leagues beyond Prometheus and Zeus!
"Giving souls to lifeless objects is just too broken an ability! Kizaru really miscalculated this time." Robin watched the scene calmly, then turned to Loa. "Aren't you going to step in? What are you doing hiding in a cave?"
Loa's double was fairly strong. With Gashara badly wounded, it should be able to finish her off.
"The Dragon-Slaying Sword has started giving off that energy again. I need to see if I can trace it to its source. There's a bigger enemy in front of me, so I don't have time to worry about her."
Loa shrugged. "Let them fight for now. I just need to make sure her soul doesn't escape."
With that, Loa flicked a finger. An ice crystal shot through the air and struck the heel of the fleeing Gashara.
"Hiss—who attacked me?"
Gashara spun around, furious and frightened, thinking another enemy was lying in wait. But when she saw the ice crystal lying nearby, fear appeared on her ghostly face for the first time.
Ice?! Why is he here? Isn't he still in the cave?
"Where do you think you're going?"
That tiny disturbance was enough
