Bang! Bang!
Boom! Boom!
Ahhh!
Amid the smoke and chaos, the fortress was in utter disarray. Gunfire, explosions, and the csh of steel echoed as the battle raged. Giant warriors rampaged through the fortress, smashing everything in their path and mercilessly sughtering the Marines, showing no iion of holding back.
"Help!"
"That monster..."
"What is this thing?!"
"Damn it, let me go! Ahhh!"
Thud! Thud!
In one er on the western side, a swarm of bloodthirsty bats desded, swooping upon the Mari terrifying speed.
Bang! Bang!
No matter how much the Marines fired or sshed with their swords, they couldn’t fend off the bats. Even those who mao strike them saw their bdes crack from the impact.
Thud! Thud!
Amid the chilling screams, many Marines colpsed, their bodies drained of all blood, leaving behind dried corpses.
"Hiss—"
"Gulp! Those bats..."
"Did Linlin turn them into that?"
"What a terrifying creature!"
It wasn’t just the surviving Marines who were terrified. Even the giant warriors felt a chill run down their spines as they watched the horrific se unfold. They hadn’t expected that the human girl El had taken in would be so terrifying—like a demon straight from hell.
Gerd and Hajrudin’s fierce performance also shocked the giant warriors. Who would have thought these two young giants, empowered by their Devil Fruits, had bee so formidable? They had surpassed most of the adult giants.
"Looks like Linlin’s gotten a little too excited!"
High above, the massive Feathered Serpent circled the battlefield. El, everything from above, sighed in resignation.
"Linlin, stop getting carried away!" Gerd called out, her voice eg across the battlefield. "I still o collect their souls!"
Seeing the drained corpses, even Gerd couldn’t help but gulp. If it weren’t for her close friendship with Linlin, she might have been frightened by her panion's gruesome as.
Whirring...
The swarm of bats gathered together, ref into Linlin’s human shape. Covered in blood, Linlin appeared beferd, wiping her mouth sheepishly. "Serd... I got a little carried away!"
"No worries, I’ve already collected quite a few souls myself, hehe..." Gerd smiled as she swung her bloodstained axe. "But this axe is starting to feel a bit off—I think I o switch to a scythe."
With the power of her Soul-Soul Fruit, Gerd figured a scythe would be more effit for harvesting souls.
"Really?" Linlin tilted her head, resting her blood-soaked bde on her shoulder. "Hehe, I still like my sword. It’s just a little too light!"
"Damn you, giant brat! Die!"
At that moment, a figure charged toward Linlin, exuding a dangerous aura. His hands came together, fingers outstretched like cws and coated in Armament Haki. He lu Linlin with lightning speed, shouting, "Ten-Finger Gun!"
Bang!
The attack hit Linlin squarely, sinking into her body but failing to pierce her iron-like defense.
"Linlin!"
Gerd, caught off guard, gasped in shock.
"What!?" The Marine Vice Admiral, Modi, widened his eyes in disbelief. His prized 'Ten-Finger Gun', hoo perfe and empowered with Haki, owerful enough to pierce steel ptes, yet it couldn’t even scratch Linlin. And she hadn’t even braced for the attaor had she used Haki or any other teique to defend herself. What kind of monster was this?
"Hey, that hurt a bit, old man..." Linlin frowned, staring at the burly, vicious-looking officer in a suit. Her expression turned cold. "But you’re all bad guys, aren’t you?"
"El said his family and people were all killed by you Marines and the Wover!"
As she spoke, a dangerous glint appeared in her eyes, and she raised her sword, ready to strike.
"You bastard—"
Before she could act, Gerd swung her axe, f Modi to retreat.
"Soru!" Modi stomped the ground and instantly withdrew, leaving only an afterimage as the axe narrowly missed him. Gerd, still young and unsteady, stumbled slightly from the force of her swing.
"Tempest Kick—Sever!"
Seizing the moment, Vice Admiral Modi unleashed a powerful ssh with his leg, sending a massive crest-shaped attack terd and Linlin.
"Watch out, Linlin!"
"Gerd!"
From a distance, Kashii, Raideen, and Oimo shouted in arm, but it was too te for them to intervene.
"Don’t you dare hurt Gerd!"
In the blink of an eye, Hajrudin leaped forward, his bded hands crossed in defense.
g! g!
He mao block the attack, but the force pushed him back several steps, revealing the gap in strength between him and the vice admiral.
"Attack! Zeus, Hera, Prometheus, take him down!"
Filled with fury, Gerd anded her three Homies into a.
"Yes, Master!"
All three Homies responded in unison, including Hera, who had been floating in the sky. They uheir assault simultaneously.
"Bastard! How dare you attack Master!" Prometheus roared, transf into a massive, fiery form. He surged forward, radiating intense heat that distorted the air as he crashed down upon Modi.
The Marine Vice Admiral’s face paled as he barely dodged the attack.
Boom! Boom!
A building behind him was instantly ied, fmes r into the sky. The overwhelmi aru were terrifying to behold.
Before Modi could catch his breath, Zeus and Hera unleashed their strikes.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
Two blinding bolts of lightning, faster than the eye could follow, streaked toward him from both sides. Though Modi mao dodge the first bolt using the 'Paper Arts' teique, the sed hit him squarely, electrog him.
"Ahhh!"
The vice admiral screamed as his body vulsed, charred and smoking from the lightning’s impact.
Just then, a bzing sun appeared in the sky, illuminating the battlefield with its intense light.
"What is that?"
"Gulp... Is that the sun?"
"Vice Admiral Modi, watch out!"
The Marines were gripped by fear as the immense heat wave rolled over them. Even the giant warriors, including Kashii and Oimo, were left speechless by the sheer power.
"Turn to ash!"
Prometheus, now massive and burning hotter than ever, plummeted from the sky like a real sun, crashing down toward the paralyzed Vice Admiral Modi.
Boom! Boom!
Ahhh!
