Chapter 552: I Don't Need Your Protection
Chapter 552: I Don't Need Your Protection
Boom!
The back-and-forth exchange between Quine and Sanji suddenly came to a halt as they were blasted away, with Sanji crashing to the ground and Quine crashing into a nearby building.
Bang!
Soon, a large hand emerged from the rubble, revealing Quine's obese body. He yelled at Renetia:
"Kids shouldn't play with such dangerous things! What if someone gets hurt?!"
"What business is it of yours?!" Renetia shouted back.
"You fatso, what right do you have to lecture me?!"
At this moment, all around them were mummified corpses that had dried up and emitted a foul odor. Additionally, there were many icy figures with a chilling aura, resembling evil spirits. Although their bodies were gradually shedding the ice, some still retained their demonic appearances, trying to suppress them.
Out of the corner of her eye, Renetia spotted a fluffy creature quickly retreating.
"Hmm? A raccoon?" Renetia tilted her head.
"It's a reindeer, you idiot!"
The fluffy creature turned back and leaped out, baring its sharp teeth and roaring.
"Oh, it's Pony Pony Chopper," Renetia said.
"It's Tony Tony Chopper!" Chopper exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise. "What's this Chopper nonsense? It sounds like some bathhouse worker!"
Hoo!
Just as he finished speaking, a birdman engulfed in blue flames swooped down from above Chopper, grabbing him with his claws and quickly flying away.
"Hmm?"
Renetia looked up and smirked, "You're still alive, Marco. Sage told me that if you managed to survive, the best thing to do would be to find a quiet place to retire. Don't go wandering around and risk breaking your wings and dying here."
"Yodo, I never thought I'd have a kid worrying about me. Rest assured, I know when to retreat. Saving a few people shouldn't be a problem."
The birdman in the sky was indeed Marco, who glanced back and then spoke to Chopper in his grasp, "Doctor Chopper, we can't stay here. It's too dangerous."
"Why? I want to fight too!" Chopper asked.
"Now..."
Marco glanced at Renetia on the ground and shook his head, "It's no longer suitable for regular combat."
The deaths of Jozu and Vista marked the end of the Whitebeard Pirates' era, with not even a glimmer of their legacy remaining.
However, Marco felt no desire for revenge. He was disheartened, but the sea could be cruel.
He had followed his father since his youth and had witnessed the sad departures of many heroes of the sea.
They had lost, it was as simple as that.
This time, it was because of Ace's brother and Cat Viper, a former partner, that he had come to Wano. It was also due to Kin'emon, another former partner, that he had arrived.
As a semi-retired pirate, he was here to provide support. If Luffy failed, he was prepared to risk his life to get them out.
But now, things had changed.
Taking a step towards the new era... before they could even cross the threshold, a wall of thorns stood in their way.
One Kaido was enough; they couldn't handle another.
Things could go wrong!
First, they needed to find those who couldn't fight and get them to safety.
"You're pretty quick on your feet, but you've also learned to be more sensible."
Renetia clicked her tongue and turned to Quine, "Your turn, fatty."
Quine's temple bulged with a burst of blue veins, "Hey, kid! You called me fat twice, don't you dare say something like 'fat music'!"
His mechanical arm snapped its fingers, and a 'funk' style 'September' tune emanated from within.
"Slimming down might make you popular, but I embrace my curves as my motto!"
"One of the Calamities, Plague Quine, the true reason for the Beast Pirates' strength!"
"Chemistry is my path to excellence, and scientific power is the driving force! Ha, ha, ha, ha!"
"Quine, the genius of plumpness, has taken over the high ground! Those mummies lying over there, my Ice Ghosts are going crazy! Ah, ah! Ah!"
As Quine wiggled his corpulent body, a rhythmic song began, and then he pointed at Renetia and shouted:
"Listen up, kid! Show some respect! I don't care if you're an important member of the Cataclysm Pirates; disrespect will earn you a lesson!"
Quine recognized her the moment she appeared.
After all, with a bounty of 955 million belli at just twelve years old, approaching a billion, and being a pirate herself, Quine couldn't help but take notice of Renetia, who also had a bounty.
"Wait, if you're here, does that mean the Cataclysm Pirates are here too? What are they up to?" Quine frowned.
"Of course, they're here to take down your boss!"
Renetia twisted her small hammer, extending it into a long-handled mechanical hammer. The hammerhead expanded outward, revealing a gun barrel.
"And you're so loud! Power Machine Gun!"
Special bullets fired rapidly from the gun barrel, spewing flames.
"Hmm? You modified your hammer? How can that compare to my modifications!"
Quine raised his left hand, and a burst of power shot out from his wrist, blowing open a glove that resembled a boxing glove. It quickly transformed into a multi-barrel machine gun, firing bullets at Renetia.
The bullets collided, sparking but mostly passing each other, heading towards their respective targets.
Quine drew his sword and swung it forcefully, unleashing a wave of energy that deflected the incoming bullets. He grinned menacingly:
"Such a small body, how can you possibly withstand the attacks?"
Renetia was about to reach out when a 'Xiong' sound startled her. A ball of fire whizzed past her.
Sanji's legs ignited, spinning in the air, creating a gust of wind that kicked away and scattered the bullets.
"Gatz's son!" Quine exclaimed.
"Don't mention him! I have my own name! How dare you harm a lady in front of me!"
Sanji shouted, maintaining his kicking stance. He turned his head towards Renetia, baring his teeth, "Beautiful young lady, I'll protect you."
"Power Impact."
Renetia raised her hand and pushed forward, sending a strange force that propelled Sanji through the air. Just as he moved, a cannonball shot past.
In the moment Sanji turned his head, Quine's mechanical arm transformed into a cannon, firing a cannonball.
But as the cannonball reached Renetia, it paused for a moment before reversing direction and speeding towards Quine, giving him no time to react as it struck him directly.
Boom!!
The explosion created a cloud of smoke.
"And why would I need protection when I didn't even bring Wilbur with me? And I certainly don't need protection from a blonde jerk like you!"
Renetia spread her small hands and smiled mischievously like a plum:
"Stupid fatty, anyone who underestimates a child will face the wrath of the Sage! Learn some manners, and learn to respect others! Wahahahaha!"
