Angel Belial vs. Devil Imu

"You cheated too, Captain Big Eyes! I saw you secretly move the cards!"

"..."

A Big Eye and a mimic started arguing.

Belial fell silent. It seemed that these two had been cheating all along, while only He was truly innocent.

Just then, a voice rang out out of nowhere:

"Shut up, that's the master's order."

The air fell silent.

"Belial, your master wants you to be prepared. We'll move in one hour and retrieve the third treasure chest."

Where?

"I will be responsible for summoning you when the time comes."

"Understood."

Under a clear blue sky, the sea shimmered and the sea breeze was gentle.

Stussy stood by the gunwale of the warship, enjoying the fine weather.

She held a small Den Den Mushi in her hand and whispered into the receiver:

"Saint Saturn, the treasure chest has been retrieved and is expected to be delivered back to Mary Geoise in two hours."

"Be prepared, if the Seven Deadly Sins attack, immediately..."

Stussy didn't hear what was said next.

She looked up at the sky not far away, where the dazzling golden light was so bright that she couldn't open her eyes.

Golden light outlined a huge pentagram magic circle in the sky, and a pure and flawless figure slowly fell from the magic circle.

"Angels...?"

Stussy muttered to himself, lost in thought.

Belial raised his hand and clenched it, and the pure white cross on his back instantly appeared in his hand. With a swing, a lightsaber materialized.

The next instant, it swooped down towards the warship below.

Chapter 169 Angel Belial vs. Demon Imu

"Angels! Enemy attack!"

Stussy reacted quickly; after a brief moment of surprise, he immediately reported the situation into the microphone.

As she finished speaking, she tossed the Den Den Mushi aside and instantly assumed a battle stance.

A pair of black bat wings appeared on her back, and vampire-like fangs sprouted from her mouth.

Zoan- type Devil Fruit User!

After completing his transformation into human-beast form, Stussy flapped his wings and charged towards the Angel Belial.

Although she didn't think she could win, a few seconds should be enough to buy her some time.

At the same time.

The Holy Land, Mary Geoise, Pangaea Castle, Room of Authority.

"Angels! Enemy attack!"

When the Den Den Mushi uttered those words, Saint Saturn abruptly stood up from the sofa.

The other four of his fellow stars all turned their gazes toward him.

"So they really came? The Seven Deadly Sins."

"What a bunch of reckless bastards! They've only just found the item, and the warships have barely left headquarters, yet they've already shown up to intercept us!"

"Is that the main point? Wasn't this something we expected from the start?"

"That's right, the key point is that sentence...!"

Angel!

If I remember correctly, one of the two fruits that were taken away before was the Angel Fruit.

It now appears that the fruit has been eaten by members of the Seven Deadly Sins, who have been dispatched to carry out this robbery mission.

"Holy crap!"

Saint Saturn volunteered, and without waiting for the others to agree, he immediately raised his cane and slammed it heavily on the floor.

Thump--!

With a muffled thud, a thick black mist was released from the point of impact. The mist quickly dispersed, spreading out a pitch-black pentagram magic circle on the ground.

Just as Saint Saturn was about to teleport down, several streaks of dark lightning erupted from the magic circle.

Sizzle, sizzle!

Boom!

An explosion rang out, and the magic circle beneath Saint Saturn's feet suddenly shattered. The backlash caused him to fall to his knees with a thud, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"What happened?" Saint Shepherd Ju Peter asked in astonishment, "The magic circle failed to activate?"

Saint Saturn has been one of the Five Elders for hundreds of years and has used the pentagram magic circle at least a hundred times, never once failing to activate it.

"Something is interfering with me!"

Saint Saturn's face was extremely grim. He suddenly looked at Saint Nusjuro.

"It's coming from you!"

"What do you mean? Are you saying I'm interfering with you?"

Saint Nusjuro's tone turned cold; he was indignant at such slander.

But then, he suddenly remembered something, and his expression changed slightly.

"No, it's a curse!"

He recalled the Seven Deadly Sins, specifically the sin of Envy. Before disappearing, Kuranos had cast a curse on him, the Three Admirals present at the time, and three other stars.

I curse you all to have nothing but misfortune and never have a moment of peace!

The curse hadn't affected him much in the past two days, and Saint Nusjuro gradually stopped caring about it, but unexpectedly it suddenly erupted at this moment.

The curse even spread from him to Saturn, who wasn't present at the time, causing Satan's teleportation magic circle to fail...

"Damn it, this curse will cause our operations to fail and everything to go wrong at crucial moments... Is that what it means?"

Saint Nusjuro furious, feeling a sense of humiliation at having been tricked.

The curse must then be purified.

"I'll do it."

At this moment, Saint Mars stood up and said to his fellow star, "I can fly, which gives me an advantage in naval warfare."

Saint Saturn wanted to stop him, but couldn't think of a suitable excuse for the time being.

Suddenly, a voice resounded in the hearts of the five people simultaneously:

[That's enough, Mu will send people out.]

"Imu!"

The Five Elders were terrified.

On the other side, among the Flower Room.

Colorful butterflies flutter here, creating a beautiful scene.

Imu stood beside a stone table, with numerous bounty posters for the Seven Deadly Sins scattered at his feet.

He was speechless at the Five Elders' incompetent fools; if they delayed any longer, the treasure chest might be stolen.

"Gunko, you go."

Behind Imu, Gunko knelt on one knee and nodded silently.

She rose and released a jet-black mist, which formed a pentagram magic circle beneath her feet.

The next instant, she was engulfed by the black mist and teleported away.

Belial watched as Stussy flew in from the warship and mercilessly swung down the sword of light in his hand.

In His eyes, anyone who dares to hinder Him from completing His mission is an enemy.

Stussy was cut in half at the waist by the lightsaber, but the next moment, her figure vanished like a reflection in water.

"Kami-e: Lingering Images"

Doppelganger?

Belial's sword missed its mark, but he quickly realized what was happening.

This isn't a clone, but rather a visual afterimage left behind after high-speed movement; it's a fighting technique.

The real Stussy appeared higher up, and Belial looked up.

"Flying Finger Pistol!"

Stussy extended his right index finger and struck the air at high speed, creating a crescent-shaped air bullet that shot out suddenly.

This move is powerful enough to accurately pierce a person's skull from several kilometers away.

Belial flapped his pure white wings forward, easily deflecting the air current.

Immediately afterward, with a flap of its wings, it appeared before Stussy with Inazuma speed, reaching out its left hand and grabbing the other's neck.

So fast...!

Stussy's pupils contracted sharply; she hadn't even had time to react, simply because the other person's speed was faster than her reflexes.

How can we fight like this?

Where is the treasure chest?

Belial's voice, a blend of male and female, creates a strong sense of the bizarre.

Stussy did not resist; those few seconds of delay would be enough to explain to his superiors later.

Next, trust your companions.

Well, it's okay if you don't believe me; she doesn't care whether she loses the Devil Fruit or not.

"On the ship, I was looked after by my two companions."

Upon hearing this, Belial casually tossed her aside, showing no interest whatsoever in anything outside of his mission.

Having obtained the information he wanted, He turned and swooped down toward the warship's superstructure.

Stussy was violently thrown aside, but she immediately flapped her wings to steady herself. She breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to herself:

"Wow, this guy must be a high-ranking member of the Seven Deadly Sins, right? He only lost his Angel Fruit two days ago, and he's already developed his abilities to this level?"

That's outrageous! Even Mythical Zoan don't move that fast.

Moreover, the angel gave her a very strange feeling, as if it were not human, and its eyes did not contain any human emotions.

As a member of CP0 and the Queen of the Pleasure District, she had met countless people, but she had never encountered anyone like this before.

It's like... a true angel, neither merciful nor cruel, only possessing an equal indifference.

"Interesting, the Seven Deadly Sins are quite interesting." Stussy chuckled softly, instead of advancing, he retreated, deliberately creating distance and keeping a safe distance.

She was keeping a close eye on Belial's actions.
