"Ah ah ah..."
A battle cry echoed through the air.
BOOM!
"Da da..."
The arrival of the Homies-type Pacifista corps changed everything.
They had completely transformed into battlefield harvesters, directly tilting the scale of the war toward the already dominant BIG MOM Pirates. The Marines' situation had become precarious.
"Damn it, stop being so arrogant!" shouted a Marine.
Using Observation Haki, he narrowly dodged the dense rain of bullets.
A Naval Headquarters Rear Admiral rushed forward: "Soru!"
"CLANG!"
Sparks flew as his extremely sharp blade, wrapped in Haki, slammed against the Pacifista's body.
But even his slash, infused with Haki, was unable to cause effective damage to the Homies-type Pacifistas.
"What?!" The Naval Headquarters Rear Admiral couldn't help but show his shock.
In the next moment, he had no time to retreat.
Several Homies-type Pacifistas surrounding him all reacted in unison.
The barrels of their black Hawkins-type Gatling guns aimed directly at him.
"Da da da!"
In a blink of an eye, intensive armor-piercing shells rained from the air.
It was impossible for him to dodge completely. Despite his agility, he only narrowly avoided the vital points.
His left arm was directly torn apart by the dense, shocking bullet rain.
Blood sprayed everywhere in a horrifying display.
He broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, his face turning pale.
Immediately afterward, his pupils suddenly dilated.
"ZZZZZZZZ!"
Incomparably dazzling laser beams burst toward him.
"BOOM..."
The loud explosion shook the sky.
Accompanied by the screams of countless Marines.
Amazing explosion rings appeared one after another.
Fire soared into the sky, heat waves billowed, and gunpowder smoke filled the air.
"Damn these hateful pirates..."
Vice Admiral Hoshaoshan was furious, but he had no time to spare.
His opponent was Custard, the sixth daughter of the Charlotte family.
She was formidable.
"KENG—"
Steel clashed against steel.
An extremely sharp long sword collided with Hoshaoshan's blade.
"Puncture Wave!"
Custard, valiant in her training uniform, took a few steps back.
"Hmmmm~" Gripping her long sword tightly, she activated her Devil Fruit ability without hesitation. The long sword vibrated violently at an incredible frequency, carrying an astonishing shock wave.
She suddenly thrust it toward Hoshaoshan.
"WHOOSH--"
The slash cut through the air!
An astonishing shock wave came violently.
Hoshaoshan's expression changed drastically. Relying on his reasonably strong Observation Haki and super-fast reflexes, he narrowly avoided this amazing blow.
The eye-catching shock wave continued unabated, bombarding the ice behind him.
It blasted a huge hole directly through the ice layer, a shocking display of power.
Wind fluttered and ice shards splashed everywhere.
It was enough to make anyone break out in a cold sweat.
"The ability that brother Wilch gave me is truly amazing!"
Custard was in high spirits.
Her heart was full of indescribable joy.
As she gradually mastered the ability of her Paramecia-type Wave-Wave Fruit.
Through actual combat testing, she felt more and more how extraordinary the ability Wilch had given her was.
She believed that if given more time, even her brother, General Cracker, might not be able to defeat her.
Feeling the continuous power gushing from her body, the excessively powerful Wave-Wave Fruit ability made Custard somewhat suspicious.
"Perhaps I can already defeat my brother Cracker."
Looking at Hoshaoshan, who had stormed away to create distance.
With a sneer on her face, she slammed the ground with her left hand: "Great Wave Fluctuation!"
"HUMMMM!"
In an instant.
In Hoshaoshan's horrified eyes.
"BOOM..." The large expanse of ice around the area began to surge.
Like a huge tidal wave, it suddenly rose more than ten meters high, rushing to crush him.
"What?!"
"Sister Custard's ability..."
"Hiss! It's too powerful!"
Many Marines who were too close couldn't help but show their terror.
Even some members of the Charlotte family were taken aback.
"AHHH!" Some Marines who were too close to dodge were directly engulfed by the exaggerated ice waves.
They were crushed into bloody paste.
"SWISH!" A dazzling slash cut through the air.
The surging ice wave was torn apart.
Vice Admiral Hoshaoshan rushed out, somewhat embarrassed.
"Soru..."
But before he could catch his breath, Custard, who had already mastered several of the Six Powers techniques and had trained with Miss Olvia, made her move again.
With lightning speed, she jumped directly in front of Hoshaoshan, looking down at her opponent from above.
"Hmmmm~" Her long sword condensed dazzling light, and the surrounding air rippled at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She violently hacked downward.
"Wave-Slash!"
"HEY—"
An incomparably impressive slash pierced through the air.
Like lightning, it tore through the atmosphere and struck violently, rolling straight toward Hoshaoshan, whose face changed drastically.
"KENG!!" The blade wrapped in Haki narrowly blocked the blazing chopping wave.
The terrifying impact made Hoshaoshan's mouth go numb, and the blade almost fell from his hand.
"HAAAAA!"
His face flushed red, veins bulging.
Hoshaoshan threw that astonishing slash high into the sky with all his strength.
But the next moment.
Custard used Geppo, stepping on the air itself to charge suddenly.
"Hmmmm~" Her Haki-infused sword edge, combined with her Wave-Wave Fruit ability, cut through the atmosphere unstoppably.
"Puncture Wave!"
"BOOM..."
Hoshaoshan, unable to dodge in time, screamed.
His face contorted in pain as he vomited blood and flew backward.
He rolled across the ice in embarrassment, leaving long scratches on the frozen surface.
Looking down at the blood-covered Vice Admiral struggling to stand before her.
Custard, holding her long sword with her short violet hair, looked heroic as she said proudly: "No matter how hard you struggle, you will never defeat me!"
Her brother Wilch was a natural monster.
No matter how she compared, she couldn't perform poorly after receiving such a powerful gift.
"Ahem... justice does not allow failure!"
Hoshaoshan staggered to his feet.
Blood dripped from the wound on his chest, where his Marine insignia was located.
Throwing away his mangled cigar, his face full of determination.
With blade in hand, he stomped his foot and rushed toward Custard with all his strength: "Soru!"
"BOOM..." Custard jumped high, dodging Hoshaoshan's slash.
She kicked downward violently, filled with anger: "Wave Sky Breaker!"
"BOOM—"
Accompanied by a thunderous bang.
The entire ice surface shook violently.
The ice within a radius of tens of meters completely collapsed.
Accompanied by extremely violent air waves, countless Marines and pirates were blown away like leaves.
Hoshaoshan, in panic, narrowly escaped that terrible kick.
Looking at the massive crater in the ice, he couldn't help but sweat profusely.
But before the Naval Headquarters Vice Admiral could breathe a sigh of relief, the hairs on his entire body stood on end.
His Observation Haki predicted imminent danger. His eyes widened in alarm, his muscles tensed without hesitation, and his abdomen was covered with Haki: "Tekkai: Busoshoku Koka!"
"BANG!!" Custard charged violently, her right leg cracking the atmosphere again, carrying a terrifying wave that blasted into him.
"HUMMMM!"
In the air, waves of ripples visible to the naked eye spread outward.
With his abdomen as the center, the visible shock wave expanded uncontrollably.
"BOOM..."
"WHOOOOSH..."
In the blink of an eye, an astonishing shock wave spread like a giant ring.
A large area of ice was ruthlessly torn apart in an instant, collapsing continuously like a spider's web.
The violent air flow swept up massive amounts of crushed ice, raging crazily around them.
"GURGH!" Hoshaoshan's eyes bulged, his face distorted in pain as he vomited blood.
Without any power left to resist, he was sent flying horizontally through the air.
