The Slaves in the cells unlocked their shackles and were about to rush out when Bill roared, "I told you, you're all going to die."
His body suddenly underwent a startling transformation. A beastly roar rang out, leaving not only the Slaves stunned but Ye Chen taken aback as well.
Even Ye Chen did not know how to describe what Bill had become.
He had a crane's head and a bear's body. His arms and tail resembled a Tiger's, striped yellow and black, but his legs were those of a cheetah. He looked bizarre, as though several beasts had been haphazardly pieced together.
Ye Chen could not help laughing. "Bill, you really are ridiculous. Did you eat some strange Devil Fruit to end up looking like that?"
Bill had no time to trade words with him. He lunged straight at the Slaves trying to escape.
Bill was swift and ruthless. He had a cheetah's speed, a crane's astonishing leaping ability, and two thick arms with strength to rival a Tiger's. Even the tail behind him could easily break a person's ribs.
One Slave had just reached the cell door when Bill sprang up behind him. His Tiger tail swept across with a crack. More powerful than an iron whip, it snapped the Slave's neck with ease. Before the man could even scream, his head drooped limply.
"Crane Leap!"
Without pausing, Bill leaped toward the next Slave. His two sharp Tiger claws mercilessly tore open the Slave's back, sending scarlet blood gushing out.
Afraid Sandersonia and Marigold were in danger, Ye Chen hurried into the cell and shouted to them, "Get out of here!"
As he spoke, Ye Chen kicked at the oncoming Bill. "Rankyaku!"
Bill quickly dodged, but the instant his feet touched the ground, he sprang forward again.
Boom!
