"No matter what trump cards you have, you cannot change the outcome of you being captured, nor can you change the fate of the Limitless Pirates being erased!"
The four horse bone legs beneath Nasujuro Saint simultaneously exerted force and charged towards Rhea. A fierce gale carried the cold aura of the First Generation Ghost Tormentor as he slashed down.
"My fate has never been in your hands from beginning to end, but in my own hands!"
Rhea also used all her strength to block Nasujuro Saint's strike.
Just as Nasujuro Saint was confronting Rhea, Saint Saturn, who was charging from behind, was about to deliver a blow to Rhea's back, but suddenly braked sharply and turned to look to the side.
There, three figures suddenly appeared: the core Executive Officers of the Limitless Pirates, Bullet and Ashura Doji, and Kyle, who possesses the Paramecia-type Invisibility Fruit!
"How is this possible? How could they be here!"
The moment Bullet and the others appeared, both Saint Saturn and Nasujuro Saint were incredibly shocked, because their actions had never been told to anyone. Besides the five Gorosei, no one else knew.
Now that the core Executive Officers of the Limitless Pirates were here, it meant that their actions had long been known to the Limitless Pirates.
This absurd situation made their first instinct that they had been ambushed.
What they wanted to know most now was whether Nox had arrived, and if there were any other members of the Limitless Pirates here besides the three in front of them!
"Hahahaha, Five Elders Saturn Saint, if you want to sneak attack the princess of our Limitless Pirates, you have to ask if I agree!"
Bullet instantly transformed into his complete form, the Vajra Titan. His mountain-like giant form was even larger than Saint Saturn's Ushi-Oni form.
Despite such a massive body, Bullet's speed was not slow due to his control over gravity; in fact, it was very fast. The use of Soru made his massive mountain-like body move at an unimaginable speed.
"Gravity Fist: Tiger Cannon!"
Bullet's terrifying gravity transformed into a black hole condensed on his fist. After combining gravity with Bullet's immense Ryuo Busoshoku Haki, it turned into an incredibly ferocious and massive black tiger, which shot out like a Divine Might Cannon.
"Ushi-Oni Soaring to the Sky!"
Seeing Bullet charging over, Saint Saturn didn't care about attacking Rhea. The moment his eight spider legs moved his body, Busoshoku Haki covered his head and horns, and then he violently charged forward.
"Rumble rumble!!!"
The moment the gravitational black tiger collided with the pair of horns, the surrounding ground collapsed, the magnetic field was chaotic, and gravity was imbalanced, as if the entire surrounding area was a distorted World of black and white.
"Get out of my way!"
As Saint Saturn's eight spider legs exerted force again, his bull head lowered to gather strength, and then he pushed hard, directly sending the ferocious black tiger flying into the sky.
"Hahahaha, that's exhilarating, again!"
Bullet laughed heartily, and then his mountain-like body approached Saint Saturn at an extremely fast speed.
"Fiendish Eye!"
However, just as Bullet was about to get close to Saint Saturn, an eerie red light flickered in Saint Saturn's eyes.
An eerie eye tinged with bright red was revealed, and a beam of red light shot towards Bullet.
Bullet raised his hand to block it, but the red light beam actually passed through his hand covered in Busoshoku Haki and shot into his mind.
However, the moment that red light beam just entered Bullet's mind, in Bullet's mental World, an incomparably huge Vajra Titan let out a deafening roar, directly shattering that red light beam.
"Poisonous Liquid!"
Just as the Fiendish Eye was defeated, Saint Saturn opened his mouth and spewed out a large amount of poisonous liquid, which turned into spears and stabbed towards Bullet's body.
"Hmph, the same move won't work on me!"
Having encountered Saint Saturn's poisonous liquid attack last time, Bullet learned his lesson this time. His massive hands covered in Ryuo Haki directly blocked the poisonous liquid, and then he quickly flung the poisonous liquid away.
"Take this punch!"
"Gravity Fist: Eight Impact!"
Bullet used the strength techniques of Eight Impact Fist, combining impact force and gravity. With one punch, a total of eight layers of aftershock rushed towards Saint Saturn's head.
"Bull Horn Measuring the Sky!"
The massive Saint Saturn had nowhere to hide against Bullet's attack, but he was not afraid at all. With Busoshoku Haki covering his bull horns, he directly met the attack head-on.
However, the moment his bull horns came into contact with Bullet's fist, Saint Saturn immediately felt wave after wave of force directly hitting his head through the bull horns.
In an instant, it made his head ache and feel like he had a concussion.
Even though he had eight spider legs to support him, he was still sent back over a hundred meters by Bullet's punch, and eight huge gullies on the ground also stretched for over a hundred meters!
The high-spirited Bullet didn't give Saint Saturn a chance to breathe and charged up to continue fighting him!
Two years ago, Bullet had a great battle with Saint Saturn, but at that time, he could only barely block Saint Saturn.
Now, his strength is even greater. In a one-on-one fight, he is not afraid of Saint Saturn at all and is even more confident in defeating him!
On the other side:
"Hahahaha, Five Elders Nasujuro Saint, dare to bully Rhea, have you asked me!"
The moment Bullet attacked, Ashura Doji also transformed into his human-beast form at the fastest speed.
"One Sword Style: Combined Dwelling Slash!"
The moment the di mie sword was unsheathed, a slash spanning thousands of meters suddenly erupted, and in an instant, the World seemed to be split in two by this slash.
Nasujuro Saint had to put Rhea aside and solemnly examine the approaching slash.
He saw the four horse hooves beneath Nasujuro Saint rapidly charging, carrying the force of a charge, and gathering all his strength onto the First Generation Ghost Tormentor.
With a single slash, he struck the massive approaching slash. The ice power of the First Generation Ghost Tormentor instantly bloomed, making Ashura Doji's slash fragile. Then, Nasujuro Saint exerted force again, completely shattering the slash.
"Hahahaha, good, good, good, I like Great Swordsmen who are strong and dare to face fear head-on!"
While Nasujuro Saint was shattering his slash, Ashura Doji rushed over at an extremely fast speed. The violent Haki and Sword Intent permeated his body, transforming into a ferocious and vicious Emperor Crocodile biting a giant sword!
"Emperor Crocodile Slash!"
Ashura Doji leaped up, then rapidly swooped down. The Emperor Crocodile behind him combined with his own Emperor Crocodile Sword, unleashing unparalleled power, which was fully integrated into his slash.
"Ghost Tormentor: Annihilation!"
Nasujuro Saint stood still, his four limbs slightly bent to gather strength. As Ashura Doji's di mie sword fell, Nasujuro Saint's four limbs suddenly leaped up, and what followed was the Ghost Tormentor's ice annihilation slash that extinguished all things!
The moment he collided with the di mie sword, Nasujuro Saint felt an incredibly powerful force coming from the sword body, which was completely different from when he fought Rhea before.
Before, he could suppress Rhea by relying on his own powerful strength and Sword Intent.
But facing the current Ashura Doji, even with his Mythical Zoan horse bone form, he felt a sense of being suppressed by the opponent in terms of strength.
And in terms of Sword Intent, this young man in front of him was not much worse than him anymore.
Only now did he truly understand how terrifying the Limitless Pirates were. Their core Executive Officers have not yet reached their peak growth; they are still constantly growing. In the future, when they reach their peak, it might be the rise of another Rocks Pirates!
"Hahahaha, Nasujuro Saint, your strength is still the same as two years ago, you haven't improved at all!"
Ashura Doji felt the power coming from the Ghost Tormentor, which was not much different from the power two years ago, and laughed loudly in mockery. Then, both sides exerted force, pushing each other back dozens of meters.
"Uncle Ashura Doji, Nasujuro Saint is my opponent, don't interfere in our battle!"
Just as Ashura Doji was about to charge up and slash Nasujuro Saint again, Rhea on the side was unhappy. She was the one who came first, so how could her opponent be stolen now!
"Hahahaha, Rhea, this time the Captain told me to help you, it wasn't my own idea to steal your opponent. If you're not satisfied, you can go argue with the Captain after the battle is over!"
"Also, Rhea, as an uncle, I have to tell you seriously that the power of the First Generation Ghost Tormentor is too strong, you can't handle it. Let uncle help you bear it!"
"Rhea, watch carefully from the side and see how uncle defeats Nasujuro Saint, this Gorosei. It's best to find a den den mushi and take some handsome photos of uncle. Then I'll have Morgans send them out so that everyone in the World knows that I, Ashura Doji, am the World's second greatest Grand Swordmaster who defeated a Gorosei!"
Seeing this, Ashura Doji laughed heartily and said.
And Nasujuro Saint, seeing these two actually treating him, the dignified Gorosei, as an object to fight over, immediately became extremely angry.
He was a Gorosei, standing at the pinnacle of World power, yet he was being treated as an object of contention by two brats here. This was simply a blatant slap in his face!
All of Nasujuro Saint's killing intent erupted, and it all converged on the First Generation Ghost Tormentor. The killing intent combined with the freezing power to form infinite sharpness.
"Ghost Tormentor: Frozen Kill!"
Even though Nasujuro Saint was angry, it didn't mean he lost his reason. Compared to Ashura Doji, the slightly weaker Rhea was undoubtedly a soft target, so his sword was aimed at Rhea!
"Hahahaha, good, I'm not afraid of you!"
Seeing that Nasujuro Saint's killing intent had locked onto her, Rhea was not afraid at all; instead, she was extremely excited, and the Yōtō Muramasa was about to slash out in the next moment!
However, just as Rhea was about to act, Ashura Doji's speed was clearly faster.
Ashura Doji blocked in front of Rhea at an extremely fast speed, his Sword Intent already erupting to its peak.
The moment Ashura Doji raised his sword with both hands, an invisible oppressive force condensed on the sword body. Even though it hadn't erupted yet, Rhea could feel the power capable of collapsing the earth.
"One Sword Style: Earth Annihilation Slash!"
Ashura Doji's eyes narrowed, and the di mie sword suddenly slashed down. The moment it collided with the First Generation Ghost Tormentor, a powerful aftermath spread out, forcing even Rhea to retreat.
"Is this Uncle Ashura Doji's power? He is indeed stronger than me, but I will catch up soon. I will let you have Nasujuro Saint this time, but I won't back down next time!"
Watching Ashura Doji and Nasujuro Saint fight, Rhea no longer had any intention of interfering.
As a Grand Swordmaster, she clearly knew that a battle between two Great Swordsmen did not welcome third-party interference, and she herself would not allow herself to interfere in such a battle!
"How did the Limitless Pirates know that we were coming to capture Rhea, and how did they end up here? Even if Kyle has the ability to hide, can this ability avoid the search of our three Kenbunshoku Haki?"
Mars Saint, who was flying in the sky and watching the situation below, was full of confusion. He couldn't figure out how this situation came about!
Originally, their plan was to surround Rhea and then capture her. Now it seems that they are the ones who are surrounded, right!
