Chapter 556: Pirate Crew, the Art of Mobbing
In the spacious area, Marika and Yamato exchanged a glance. Marika clenched her fist, while Yamato tightened her grip on the wolf fang club in her hand.
Whoosh!
Yamato, in her hybrid form, took a step forward and transformed into a white light. In an instant, she accelerated, and the freezing air turned into a half-formed wolf with bared fangs and claws.
"Divine Foot - White Serpent Drive!"
"Hairbound - Spider Web!"
As Marika took a step forward, her hair in front formed a large net-like shape covered in Haki. In that instant, the web protruded inward, but it also helped Marika locate her position. The red dots in her eyes flashed, and a palm glowing with black lightning shot out swiftly.
"Heavenly Origin - Breakthrough!!"
Boom!!
From within the spider web, a figure emerged, holding a wolf fang club that shimmered with red electricity. It smashed out forcefully, colliding directly with Marika's palm.
Haki entangled with Haki, compressing into an extremely unstable ball of light during their attack intervals. One emitted freezing air, eroding Marika's arm, while the other sent out a shockwave, causing cracks to appear all around Yamato's rear.
The ball of light exploded with a blast, releasing an even more intense red lightning and shockwave, causing the ground around the two to crack and dust to swirl.
Boom!
As the ball of light exploded, the wolf fang club made contact with Marika's palm. Upon contact, the club and Yamato's body were sent flying.
The ice on Marika's palm shattered into ice crystals that scattered, revealing her arm covered in Haki.
In terms of strength, Marika had the advantage. And that 'Heavenly Origin - Breakthrough' was a self-adaptive version of 'Galactic Impact'.
After so long, she had also mastered the Extreme Armament Haki, allowing her to unleash more powerful shockwaves.
However, at this moment, Marika was also shaking, clearly unsteady and losing the chance to pursue.
The power of Tyrant's Color Bind was indeed not something to be ignored.
"Thunder Dart!"
Yamato, who had flown to the rear, adjusted her posture in mid-air and swung her club, unleashing a rod-shaped slashing attack.
"Heavenly Origin - Breakthrough!"
Marika also adjusted her posture and struck out with another palm. The Haki mixed with the shockwave resembled a pillar, colliding with the slashing attack and creating another shockwave that caused the ceiling to shed dust.
Yamato quickly descended from the air. The instant her furry paws touched the ground, the freezing air around her turned into ice crystals. As she swung her club, the ice crystals shot out.
"Soap Hair - Wind Blade!"
Marika's hair gathered into a whip, and as she swung it forward, it unleashed a slashing attack with a gust of wind. The ice crystals collided and shattered into nothingness.
Amidst the smoke, Marika's movements allowed Yamato to pinpoint her location precisely. Her mouth began to gather white frost.
"Ice Fang Without Servant!"
As she opened her mouth, the white frost transformed into an icy breath resembling white light, rushing toward the smoke ahead.
Boom!!
Under the erosion of the frost, the smoke dissipated. The Armory's entrance, the fan-shaped area in front, and even the ceiling, ground, and walls were all covered in a thick layer of ice! Even the green giant blocking the entrance became a large ice sculpture.
However, within this ice, Yamato couldn't find Marika's figure.
"I'm here!"
Whoosh!
A powerful gust of wind blew through Yamato's fur and tail, causing her to look up. She saw a gloved fist, glowing with Haki and emitting two black flashes, enter her field of vision.
The powerful tremor from the fist, even in the moment of impact, caused the space to shake violently. In that tremor, a punch landed squarely on Yamato's face.
"Heavenly Origin - Star Quake!"
"Horse Phantom Blade!"
But just as Marika's fist struck, Yamato instinctively swung her iron club, unleashing a powerful freezing air and slamming it into Marika's side.
Boom!!
Yamato's body was slammed into the ground by the force of that punch. The entire ground also shook and cracked, forming irregular bumps and depressions.
Marika, on the other hand, flew backward, her half-frozen body crashing heavily to the ground.
The instant she landed, the ice shattered, and Marika quickly rolled over. She hugged her half-frozen body with one hand, her open eyes filled with gravity.
Even with Haki blocking it, it was useless. The ice shattered, but that freezing sensation still lingered on her body, forming frost.
And most crucially, her consciousness began to blur.
The power of Tyrant's Color Bind was affecting her.
This woman could probably match Lily.
Boom!
The protruding rubble in front scattered outward, and Yamato took a few breaths before slowly straightening her body.
Her furry face had one right eye closed, and blood trickled from the corner of her eye. Half of her face was swollen.
Marika stared at Yamato and said, "You're indeed Kaido's daughter, and you're strong."
Yamato gasped for breath several times and spat out a mouthful of blood, saying, "I don't know where you're from, but you're also powerful. I can sense that you're not evil. Why must you stop me?"
"The clash of wills and combat can reveal a person's inner nature and character."
Yamato could sense that this black-haired woman wasn't of Kaido's evil type. Someone like her shouldn't be an enemy.
"Who says pirates must be evil?"
Marika laughed, "Public opinion doesn't matter. What matters is what we do. My dream is progressing well."
The dream of ensuring no one goes hungry worldwide relied not only on her exceptional culinary skills, which she often passed down, but also on the abundant food reserves within the Calamity Pirates' territory.
Sage valued this more than she did.
In the chaotic sea, wealth and power were mere tools. Even the strongest needed to eat.
Feeding your people first was the foundation for future economic growth.
"Dreams."
Yamato clenched her wolf fang club, "My dream must be fulfilled! I will open the Country of Wano! Step aside; don't block me. You're not my match!"
The battle confirmed that while this woman was a tough opponent, she was no match for her.
Marika understood this. Her strength was indeed formidable, but the power of tenacity was beyond the scope of strength.
As one of the few strong individuals who could master this power, Marika's body could withstand Yamato's attacks, but her consciousness would inevitably diminish over time until she lost consciousness.
No matter how skilled she was, losing consciousness made her a lamb for slaughter.
"One person might be difficult to deal with, but who said I'm alone?"
Marika chuckled, "I have partners."
"Oh!"
In the next instant, a loud shout came from not too far away, accompanied by a strong gust of wind that blew towards Yamato's back.
Yamato's pupils constricted as her entire body was covered in a layer of frost.
"Mirror Mountain!"
Bang!
A naginata blade imbued with powerful Haki slashed from behind, hitting her side. The Haki emanating from the blade struck her body, sending her flying.
Crack! The ice crystal on Yamato's body shattered, revealing her figure.
"Ice Fang without Servant!"
Yamato twisted her body in midair, opening her mouth to spray a stream of freezing breath towards her original position. A giant 'diamond' appeared, quickly frozen by the icy breath into an ice sculpture.
"Idiot, how many times do I have to tell you to cover yourself in Haki?"
Behind the ice sculpture, a slightly irritable, crisp voice sounded, "Wilbur, use Haki!"
Bang! The ice sculpture shattered into ice crystals that scattered, revealing a massive body covered in diamonds. The giant awkwardly scratched his head, showing Yamato his face with a white beard like a crescent moon.
"Got it, big sis."
A pink-haired girl jumped onto the giant's shoulder and grinned at Yamato in the air, "Hey, you white-haired, big-breasted wolf girl, freeze a few ice cubes for me to make an ice drink!"
She extended her hands, and the exoskeleton hovering around her absorbed the nearby freezing air. From the cannons exposed by the exoskeleton, numerous freezing beams were fired.
"Endless Bombardment!"
Renetia and Wilbur!
The error-free version is available at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book Bar is the first to release this novel.
Boom! Yamato's feet touched the ground, and she quickly spun in the air, dodging the freezing beams. She became a white light, moving so fast that people couldn't see her clearly.
"Divine Foot Drive!"
The white light landed at another end and quickly changed direction, charging towards the pink-haired girl.
Her speed was beyond what these people could stop. As she approached, about to swing her wolf fang club, the white light suddenly dissipated, revealing her body, frozen in the act of swinging the club.
Under her feet, her shadow was suddenly elongated and advanced by another shadow.
"Heeheeheehee!"
A sharp voice echoed from the entrance, and a fat man stepped out, his footsteps landing on the elongated shadow in front of him, which had become a line.
"It's quite lively here. Let me join in."
Moria!
Crackle!
Yamato's body erupted with a ball of lightning representing Tyrant's Color, breaking free from the strange restraint. Renetia immediately raised her hand, pointing it at Yamato as she reached her.
"Dynamic Thrust!"
With the propulsion, Yamato uncontrollably flew backward. Before she could land, a figure had already reached the spot where she would fall.
"Partners can be very useful. I can't handle you alone, but..."
Marika raised her other hand, uninjured by the ice, and clenched it into a fist, continuing to emit black flashes.
Pirates come in all forms, from solo fighters to gang assaults.
One strategy is to match soldier for soldier and general for general, ensuring Sage's plans are not disrupted by unforeseen circumstances and preserving what Sage desires. Another strategy is to mobilize the entire crew, a unified force.
They are a pirate crew!
"With so many of us, we're bound to win! Heavenly Origin - Star Quake!"
"Heeheeheehee, Shadow Horn Spear!"
"I'll blast you to bits!"
As Marika's fist flew towards Yamato, the shadows in front of her also rose up like a spear, piercing Yamato's abdomen. Meanwhile, Renetia continued to fire freezing beams from above, bombarding Yamato.
With attacks coming from all sides, Yamato, suspended in mid-air, had no choice but to take the blows head-on.
Boom!!
The freezing beam exploded, scattering ice crystals in the air, and the powerful impact caused the ground to sink further, kicking up a cloud of dust.
As the dust settled, Marika slowly straightened up, retracting her fist and staring down at the unconscious Yamato below.
Her body was now covered in frost, and the shadow spear that had pierced Yamato's abdomen dissipated, turning back into shadows and merging with the shadows beneath Moria's feet.
Wilbur, carrying Renetia, moved forward and stood on the other side of Yamato.
"Who is this guy? He's pretty strong," Renetia asked.
"That hair color..."
Moria took a closer look at Yamato and widened his eyes. "Oh! Kaido's daughter has grown up!"
Twenty-five years ago, when he fought Kaido, he had seen this little girl, who was only five years old at the time. Although she had grown up now, her appearance hadn't changed much, and her distinctive hair color was still the same.
"You're injured."
Marika glanced at Moria, "And it's not a minor injury. Who did you run into?"
"Heeheeheeheehee, Jinbei, I don't know where he went. I was looking for him and stumbled upon you instead."
Moria laughed, then looked at Yamato again, marveling, "Was that Tyrant's Color Bind just now? No wonder she's Kaido's daughter. Hmm, let's capture her. If Sage defeats Kaido, this woman will be a useful asset."
"It's not like that."
Marika relaxed, and the markings that had hidden within her body reappeared, gathering at her forehead before disappearing again, "She's Kaido's enemy, claiming to be Kinmonth Yada, wanting to defeat Kaido and bring the Land of Harmony under the rule of the Higuma clan, and in the process, open the country."
Moria was taken aback but soon burst into laughter, "Heeheeheeheehee! How interesting! That guy Kaido can't even educate his children properly. Heeheeheeheehee! In that case, Perona is much more obedient!"
Kaido's biological daughter was very rebellious, while Moria's adopted daughter, Perona, whose relationship was not confirmed, was devoted to him as her foster father.
In this regard, Moria was much better than Kaido!
"Let's capture her anyway and let Sage decide."
Moria chuckled, "Maybe she's the key to inheriting the Beast Pirates. If Sage loses, we might still have another way out, or we could indirectly unify the first half."
"Hey! Sage won't lose, so don't talk nonsense!" Renetia threatened, baring her small fangs, "You fatso, be careful or I'll go to your castle and sprinkle salt on all your zombie figures!"
The sub-island of Ohara was guarded by Moria, who had built a Gothic castle there. Inside the castle were those who had once rebelled and pirates who had dared to challenge him, now turned into zombies. Their shadows were inserted into newly collected zombies.
Although Moria no longer relied on the power of zombies, he had grown accustomed to having them around, finding it more convenient.
After all, it would be a waste to simply discard the bodies of powerful warriors into the sea.
"Oh well."
Marika seemed to understand what he meant and smiled, "If you want Lily to hear about this, you'd better be careful."
"Pirates don't care about such things."
Moria chuckled at Marika, "Besides, it'll be your turn sooner or later. I've lived for fifty years, and some things are clear to me, heeheeheeheehee."
Lily wasn't the only one interested in Sage; this smooth-haired woman was also one of them.
"What? I don't understand," Renetia said, looking confused.
"Although I have faith in Sage, whether he wins or loses..."
Moria ignored Renetia and looked at Yamato, "This woman is useful. She's a strong fighter, and her fruit is a Beastman type, right? If all else fails, the fruit can still be utilized. Let's see what she chooses."
As for why his daughter became Kaido's enemy, that was a question to be answered after the results were out.
