Chapter 1342: Smoke and Scatter!
Chapter 1342: Smoke and Scatter!
"Here I come!"
At Lida's words, her body blurred into multiple afterimages, appearing before each Navy officer. These afterimages struck simultaneously with palm strikes against the Navy members, including Smoker and Tina. None resisted, allowing Lida to activate her ability on them.
Physical strength was instantly drained by more than half.
Even Smoker staggered slightly as his strength was siphoned away.
Smoker glanced at the retreating afterimages and pressed his lips together. "Weren't we supposed to give only half?"
This was taking everything without mercy. Though they had lowered their guard and allowed Lida to draw from them, this was excessive.
But he looked at the white mist forming a Colossal Shield nearby, shrugged, and took a deep breath. "Whatever. We'll give our all too!"
Lida moved fast. Her unarmed combat techniques were already swift, but now she activated 'Black Rope Heaven Flash', further accelerating her speed.
After draining the Navy, her next target was naturally the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
All the Warlords, even Boa Hancock with her expression of disgust, allowed Lida to strike them and drain their physical strength.
Buggy, however, collapsed immediately after Lida's touch, as if drained of moisture like Crocodile's victim. He pushed himself up with trembling arms, shouting incoherently.
"Ah! I feel like my soul's leaving!"
He looked like a living corpse.
"Don't let her finish!"
Zoro didn't know what would happen, but he knew letting the white-haired Navy officer near Kuro was unacceptable. As the afterimage approached, Zoro took his stance, dual blades raised in his signature Three Sword Style.
His blades were about to unleash a whirlwind capable of slicing steel when a white light appeared. Sanji, alert, kicked a flaming whirlwind at the light.
Bang!
Crack!
Sanji's foot was blocked by a thick arm covered in black fur. Zoro's blade was halted mid-spin by a descending foot.
"Nope", Moer said, appearing in the sky with Haki-infused legs locked against Zoro's blade. "Uncle, I won't let you interfere."
Klah blocked Sanji's kick, his wolfish face twisting into a malevolent grin. "Don't ignore us!"
Behind them, Donald with his cross spear, Sazil clenching his fists, Ju Geng drawing his bow, and Fen Ni spreading his arms all appeared.
This brief delay allowed Lida to dart past them, racing toward Kuro.
"Kuro, here I come!!"
Bang!
Lida flashed before Kuro, striking him with both palms. "Essence Feedback!"
Thump!
A sound like a violently pounding heart. Kuro closed his eyes, arms spread wide, forming a circular essence mark that he slowly absorbed.
"Zeus!"
Dark clouds gathered in the sky as Nami summoned a massive thunderbolt.
"Get lost!"
Lida leapt upward, essence concentrated in her hands, unleashing a shockwave that scattered the thunder and black clouds.
Whoosh!
Ju Geng released his bowstring, firing three arrows at Nami.
"Final Move: Ultimate!"
Usopp launched three connected shuriken from his giant sling, colliding with the arrows. The arrows shattered while the shuriken exploded mid-air.
Zoro reversed his blades to repel Moer's legs, crossing his swords but only cutting through white light.
Bang!
Moer appeared beside Zoro, kicking him away. White light flashed again as he struck Zoro down, creating a dust cloud. Moer whistled as he reappeared on the ground.
"Demons Wind Legs!"
Sanji's flaming legs burned through Klah's fur, his afterimage-laden kick forcing Klah back with charred blackened arms. Klah's pupils constricted. Ignoring the heat, he grabbed Sanji's foot and hurled him sideways, then launched himself like a cannonball, cross-slashing with a fiery arc.
"Super~Franky!"
Franky struck a pose, fists clashing, then raised his palms toward Kuro. "Hyper Beam!"
A laser beam shot forward.
"Impact Tide!"
A figure dashed ahead of the beam, smashing it with a fist that shattered the laser into fireworks alongside the air pressure.
"Our fight from years ago wasn't finished yet!" Sazil roared.
As he spoke, a chilling figure dashed past him.
"Song of the Slash!"
Brook charged toward Kuro, drawing his icy saber.
But air pressure surged from the side.
Brook reacted instantly, saber raised.
"Snow Slash!"
The saber's icy blade met a descending cross spear mid-air.
Donald gripped his spear shaft, expression solemn. "Soul King Brook, huh?"
"And the old man too!"
As Donald engaged Brook, Jinbei attacked from another angle. The ground shattered, seawater surged, and Jinbei gathered the water into a massive impact.
"Gun Wave!"
Boom!
Lida appeared before the water wave, kicking the ship-piercing impact into mist.
"Fools."
Lida laughed. "You think you can stop Kuro? Too late."
She ducked suddenly as a Thunder Lance shot from above, striking Jinbei.
Jinbei crossed his arms, taking the blast that sent him skidding backward, smoke rising from his arms. Sweat dripped from his temple as he glared through the smoke.
Kuro stood in a throwing stance, smiling.
"Jinbei, I actually liked you. Pity you wouldn't cooperate."
Kuro cracked his neck, crimson eyes deepening. He raised his hand toward Luffy, voice cold.
"I'll kill your captain and let your so-called dreams and pointless hopes go up in smoke and scatter!"
