Chapter 59:
"How is this possible!"
The Navy Rear Admiral saw his attack had no effect.
His face was full of disbelief.
Rouge looked at his shocked expression.
A beautiful smile appeared on her lips.
But her eyes were full of ice-cold killing intent.
"Then let you try my Finger Pistol too!"
Zero Friction – Phantom Finger!
As Rouge's index finger shot forward like a sword toward the Navy Rear Admiral,
countless finger shadows moved as if frictionless, fast as lightning.
In an instant, hundreds of finger shadows enveloped the Navy Rear Admiral's entire body.
The Rear Admiral saw hundreds of finger shadows wrapped in Armament Haki carrying terrifying penetration power appear before his eyes.
His pupils instantly dilated.
The Rear Admiral immediately covered his entire body in Armament Haki.
He also used Observation Haki to continuously dodge.
But something unbelievable happened.
Pfft pfft pfft!
Bloody holes bloomed across his body one after another.
Like deadly flowers, they were blindingly vivid.
His defense had been directly pierced through.
The Navy Rear Admiral suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.
He looked down at his chest and saw a snow-white, slender jade finger pierced straight into his heart.
With unwillingness, the Rear Admiral grabbed at the air and fell powerlessly to the ground.
Rouge only gave him a glance before immediately rushing to support the other crew members.
The Navy's numbers were simply too many.
This meant each Aitrias Pirates crew member had to face a large number of elite Marines at the same time.
Annie saw the situation was critical.
She danced like a beautiful elf across the dangerous battlefield.
With every step Annie took,
seeds she had personally cultivated spilled from the pouch at her waist.
As she danced gracefully,
tough vines, man-eating flowers, and hypnotic grass burst from the ground.
They continuously attacked the nearby Navy, helping the Aitrias Pirates women resist the Navy's assault.
Under Annie's control, these plants played a huge role.
Man-eating flowers swallowed nearby Marines whole with one bite.
Over time, these Marines became their nutrients.
Hypnotic grass continuously sprayed large amounts of hypnotic powder toward the Marines under Annie's control.
This made the Navy feel waves of drowsiness.
Tough vines constantly wrapped around the ankles of Marines, rendering them immobile.
With these plants joining the battlefield,
the pressure on the Aitrias Pirates crew was greatly reduced.
The Navy was also extremely frustrated by Annie.
But because Annie was far too agile,
they could never catch her.
With Annie's help,
some crew members lacking combat experience gained extra protection.
This also created opportunities for the Aitrias Pirates crew to quickly adapt to the battlefield.
As the battle continued,
the Aitrias Pirates crew grew rapidly.
Soon they adapted to this kind of fighting.
All combatants followed their squad leaders, coordinating with the plants' restraint to continuously slay the Navy before them.
The Aitrias Pirates crew gradually stabilized their formation.
They unleashed all the killing moves they had researched.
Many Navy soldiers died at their hands.
No one felt any pity for these Navy men.
Because this was a fight to the death.
Although with Annie's help, many crew members were still heavily injured.
These wounded were sent out of the battlefield by Annie using vines.
Outside the battlefield,
the Aitrias Pirates' medical team, led by Jessica, was rapidly treating the injured combatants.
Jessica condensed hemostatic pills and recovery pills one after another and fed them to the crew members.
This quickly stopped their bleeding and healed their wounds.
Once recovered, these crew members rushed back into the battlefield and rejoined the fight.
At the same time,
the Aitrias Pirates' squad leaders led their remaining members in full counterattacks against the Navy.
For a time, the battle became extremely intense.
A kilometer away, Vilin and Zephyr had also begun their duel.
Vilin stared at Zephyr.
His fists clenched tightly.
Pitch-black Haki quickly coiled around Vilin's fists.
Vilin raised his hand and punched toward Zephyr.
The punch carried powerful wind pressure as it blasted toward Zephyr.
"Hahahaha! Let me see your strength!"
Vilin looked at Zephyr and let out wild laughter.
Zephyr saw Vilin's incoming punch.
His face showed no fluctuation.
Zephyr threw a full-power punch to meet Vilin's fist.
BANG!
Two fists collided in the air like lightning.
A powerful shockwave instantly erupted between them.
It blasted outward in all directions.
Destroying a large area of buildings.
Both men simultaneously stepped back two paces.
Then they clashed again.
Vilin saw his attack completely blocked by the opponent.
He also became cautious.
As the probing phase ended,
the two began a true life-and-death battle.
Vilin's moves were extremely ruthless.
He continuously attacked Zephyr's weak points.
Zephyr appeared very steady, always firmly blocking Vilin's attacks.
During the fight, both constantly observed each other's movements.
They both continuously learned the other's combat techniques.
This made both of their attacks grow stronger.
Vilin kept observing Zephyr's Six Powers.
He discovered many areas where he still fell short.
"What a great sparring partner!"
"No wonder he trained so many Navy elites later!"
Fighting alongside Zephyr,
Vilin's Six Powers slowly improved through learning.
Zephyr's strength could be summed up in two words:
Solid.
His fundamentals were truly too solid.
No matter how Vilin attacked, Zephyr always blocked steadily.
Zephyr also saw Vilin's actions clearly.
Vilin was using him.
And he was using Vilin in return.
He was also learning some force application techniques and pirate fighting styles from Vilin.
No holds barred.
The battle between the two fell into a deadlock.
Six Powers Secret Technique!
As Zephyr unleashed the Six Powers Secret Technique,
his Six Powers techniques became even more flexible and varied.
Even Vilin suffered several muffled losses.
This also let him see the potential of the Six Powers.
In Vilin's view, the Six Powers were not just attack methods.
They were a comprehensive technique.
They could train both the body and force application skills.
Every move of the Six Powers could be combined to erupt with even greater power.
While the two were locked in stalemate,
the Aitrias Pirates squad leaders also led their remaining members in full counterattacks against the Navy.
By now, the Navy had suffered heavy casualties.
This greatly reduced the pressure on Vilin's crew.
Squad leader Hu Yue raised her sharp white wolf claws.
One claw tore the Navy soldier in front of her in half.
Then she quickly rushed toward Hu Xue'er's battlefield.
