Just then!
As Arthur slaughtered his way through the battlefield.
Among the watching crowd, some truly important figures finally lost their patience!
They had come here to kill Arthur,
not to watch him show off before their eyes!
"I'll test you myself!"
At that moment,
Vinsmoke Yonji, the fourth son of the Vinsmoke Family of the renowned Germa Kingdom, shouted and leaped out of the crowd.
To claim the bounty issued by Doflamingo himself,
the Vinsmoke Family had sent their fourth son, Yonji, and second son, Niji.
As members of the Vinsmoke Family, they certainly had not come for a mere three hundred million Beli in bounty money, but to establish ties with the Donquixote Family.
After all, ever since the Donquixote Family's meteoric rise,
the North Blue, which had originally been under their Germa Kingdom's rule,
had become the Donquixote Family's North Blue instead,
a situation that left the Vinsmoke Family deeply uncomfortable.
But there was nothing they could do.
Doflamingo himself was one of the Shichibukai,
possessed tremendous strength, and was also an emperor of the Underworld, with an unknown connection to Kaido of the Beasts, one of the Four Emperors.
All these factors combined.
They prevented the Vinsmoke Family from going to war with the Donquixote Family.
So the head of the Vinsmoke Family and king of the Germa Kingdom, Vinsmoke Judge, decided to contact Doflamingo to cooperate.
Once Yonji stepped forward, wearing a green battle suit marked with the number 66,
the field was left entirely to Yonji and Arthur.
The other pirates, assassins, and members of the Underworld present naturally recognized Yonji of the Vinsmoke Family and knew his strength.
"Brat, your head is mine!!!"
A flash of murderous intent crossed Yonji's face.
The next instant, he charged at Arthur without hesitation!
Bang, bang, bang!
The Winch Thrusters beneath his feet accelerated him into a blur.
"So fast! That's Germa's technology!"
"Just what you'd expect from someone from the Germa Kingdom!"
"That brat is definitely finished now!"
In an instant, Yonji reached Arthur.
At that moment, a smug look also appeared on Diamante's face nearby.
Winch Strike!!!
Yonji threw a fierce punch at Arthur.
As modified humans of the Vinsmoke Family,
Yonji and his siblings had all been modified by their father, Judge, using "Lineage Factor" technology.
Even as a child, Yonji had been a match for an adult man.
His body had skin like steel,
and bullets striking his body would instantly shatter.
Meanwhile, the battle suits Yonji and his siblings wore were also the culmination of the Vinsmoke Family's advanced technology, something even Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, wanted to obtain.
Although they had not eaten Devil Fruits,
modified humans like Yonji and Niji
could be even stronger than Devil Fruit Users!
A single Winch Strike,
under normal circumstances, could blast a huge hole even through a warship!
However,
faced with such a ferocious punch,
Arthur's expression did not change, and he barely even raised his eyelids.
His right hand caught Yonji's fist outright, its formidable defense instantly breaking down the terrifying power contained in Yonji's fist and reducing it to nothing!
"What!?"
"That Arthur actually blocked it barehanded!"
Yonji was shocked as well!
He tried to break free of Arthur's hand immediately.
But,
Arthur looked at him without the slightest mercy. Since this was someone who wanted to kill him, why would he show him any mercy, even if he was a character from the original story?
With a thought,
a chilling murderous intent involuntarily radiated from Arthur's eyes.
In the very next instant, Arthur intended to tear Yonji straight in half!
Niji, standing nearby, detected the murderous intent.
His eyes flashed like lightning, and his figure seemed to turn into a thunderbolt.
Boom!
Niji appeared directly before Arthur at lightning speed.
Electric Shock Fist!!!
Niji shouted.
Intense electric light gathered around his right fist,
crackling,
and radiating a terrifying murderous intent!
He sought to blast Arthur into fragments with a single punch!
But Arthur had already anticipated his arrival. His free left hand caught Niji's punch, and the powerful current wrapped around it immediately surged onto Arthur's body.
It enveloped his entire body,
as though he were bathing in lightning.
Electric light swirled around him, its dazzling brilliance making the sky seem dim.
Yet Arthur had no fear whatsoever of such a paltry current.
After all,
Godzilla was also known as "the embodiment of nature." Roaming the seas and walking through storms were everyday occurrences for Godzilla.
He did not even fear lightning descending from the heavens,
so how could he fear such an utterly insignificant current?
"Hmph!"
Arthur gave a cold laugh.
The corners of his mouth curled into a cruel arc.
Then he yanked both hands back hard, tearing an arm straight off both Yonji and Niji. Blood gushed from their severed arms.
Like two fountains of blood!
"Ah!!" "Ah!!!!"
Yonji and Niji let out miserable screams one after the other.
The pain of losing their arms was like having part of their souls torn away!
The agony in their screams
sent a wave of horror through everyone present!
"The Vinsmoke Family's men have been taken down!!!"
"No way! That guy called Arthur took down two sons of the Vinsmoke Family in an instant!"
"How terrifying!!!"
Everyone was astonished!
Diamante was even more shocked!
Only then did some of those present remember
why "Magician" Basil Hawkins had withdrawn from the operation beforehand.
So,
his divination ability had already foretold the outcome of this operation.
The realization came to them too late.
But just as Arthur was about to finish off the two members of the Vinsmoke Family,
they forcibly steadied their minds through the excruciating pain,
and decisively chose to flee!
An enemy on Arthur's level was not someone the two of them could handle!
Whoosh, whoosh!
The figures of the Vinsmoke Family members immediately vanished from the scene.
With Arthur having lost his targets, however,
he naturally turned his attention to Diamante and the people around him!
"Oh no!! Run!!!"
"That monster has his sights on us!"
"Run!! If you don't run now, you'll just be waiting to die!!!"
Everyone paled in alarm!
Through the overwhelmingly one-sided battles just now, they had already learned
that Arthur D. Dragonier's power had completely surpassed the level of their North Blue. Not a single person present was Arthur's match.
Moreover,
even if their combined strength could surpass Arthur's,
when all was said and done,
everyone present had merely been brought together by a bounty notice.
Before this,
they might very well have been enemies themselves. How could they possibly join forces to kill an enemy who might kill most of them?
At that moment!
However quickly the people who had surrounded Arthur to kill him had arrived before,
now,
those who wanted to escape this island fled just as quickly!
They had no desire to die on this island for nothing over a bounty!
