Chapter 191: War with the Charlotte Family (6)
Scáthach jumped out from the large crater she created and looked back, "Still alive? Since you survived my strike, I'll spare your life, warrior."
Unfortunately, Oven was knocked out by the intense shock and couldn't respond.
Scáthach then looked up at Daifuku, "The human body really is resilient, to survive such a severe injury and still have a breath left."
The scattered shadow pieces began to reassemble and move toward Scáthach 's feet, reforming into a shadow under the sunlight. With a flick of her left hand, the Death's Falcon spear embedded in Charlotte Daifuku's body flew back to her.
"Oven -sama, Daifuku-sama, both defeated by the 'Magic Spear' Scáthach !" A circle of chess soldiers around them immediately stepped back in fear.
Mont-d'Or , who had just rescued Brulee and Custard from the ice with a flame gun, could hardly believe his eyes when he saw this.
"Oven brother, Daifuku brother..."
Oven and Daifuku were not only strong in battle but also considered top fighters in the Charlotte family. To think that they were defeated by a pirate newcomer, one against two.
"Cough cough..." Brulee and Custard , still shivering from the freezing, coughed.
Mont-d'Or quickly commanded the chess soldiers, "Everyone, shoot at the 'Magic Spear'!"
All the soldiers raised their rifles and fired at Scáthach .
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Scáthach , using her Observation Haki and [Thousand Mile Eye], easily deflected all the incoming missiles by pointing her spear at them.
"What?!" Mont-d'Or was shocked by the sight and immediately ordered, "Archbishop soldiers, shoot arrows!"
The archbishop soldiers immediately fired arrows into the sky, which, due to gravity, curved and flew down at Scáthach .
"Hmph," Scáthach spun a spear in each hand, using her wrist to flip the shafts and blocked all arrows and bullets.
"All soldiers, attack together!"
"Boom!"
Scáthach stomped hard on the ground, propelling herself like a missile into the middle of the numerous chess soldiers, shattering every chess piece around her.
…
"Slow Waltz" Amande slowly swung his sword, making a horizontal slash at Kurumi.
"Ah, such a slow sword won't hit 'us'," Kurumi's clones quickly dodged.
Amande, with a cigarette in his mouth, calmly said, "If it's just a quick slash, what's the point of killing?"
"Then I'll make your wish come true~ Second Bala Bet!"
Kurumi loaded the energy created by the Bet II symbol and shot a bullet, but Amande blocked it with his sword.
Realizing the danger, Amande's attack became slower, as though moving like a tortoise.
"What... is this?!"
"I'll kill you elegantly, slowly~" Several of Kurumi's clones raised their guns and aimed at the slowly moving Amande, preparing to fire in unison.
"Feel the sensation of bullets piercing your body, this is the killing you've been expecting!"
"Amande! Ha!" Amande's sister, Mond, cleaved a Kurumi clone in half with her sword. The sword aura passed through the others behind, and the remaining clones dodged the attack, leaving a sword mark on the ground.
"Hehehe... Hehe, you've really done something extreme to my clone!" Kurumi let out a sickly laugh. "Such a large body, moving so quickly..."
"Crack!" The usual "#", which would normally appear on one's forehead, now bulged on Mond's neck (just above her chest).
" Fourth Bullet Dalet!"
"Bang!" Kurumi pulled the trigger, shooting a bullet that stopped time.
"I won't fall for it like my sister did!" Mond twisted her plump body, preparing to dodge the bullet that Kurumi shot at herself.
"!"
As the bullet reached Mond, it stopped a small space-time field around her.
" Mondée !" Amande helplessly called his sister's name, rushing to her, but the slowdown effect from Bet Ⅱ still persisted, and Kurumi's clone blocked his path, stopping him from reaching her.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
A barrage of bullets rained down on Mond's body. The numerous blood splashes lingered in the air, and when the effect of Bet Ⅶ ended, both the blood and Mond's body fell to the ground.
"Mon, te!" As Dalet's slowdown effect wore off, Amande quickly ran to his sister's side, crouching down, "Luckily, she's not dead..."
He bit the cigarette butt and looked at Kurumi with a murderous glare.
"To wield a sword and kill others without realizing that you, too, could be killed... Don't you find this mentality strange? You were ready to kill us earlier, weren't you? Just like your Charlotte family!"
Kurumi stopped showing her usual pitiful smile and, with a chilling voice laced with a terrifying grin, looked at Amande.
"Twins born on the same day, dying on the same day, I am truly kind~"
"You bastard..."
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!" Kurumi's clones surrounding Amande and Mond once again erupted with violent firepower.
Amande used his body to shield the heavily injured Mond, but his thin frame couldn't block all the bullets, causing more injuries to his already wounded sister.
Her light-colored dress was soaked with blood.
"Mondee ! Amande!" Charlotte family's 25th son, Snack, broke through the clones' encirclement and reached their side.
"Ugh... I'm fine, but how's my sister?" Amande endured the pain from his bullet wounds and checked Mond's pulse.
"She's fine... thanks to the fat..." Snack breathed a sigh of relief, "How dare they do this to my sisters..."
"Hehehe... Hehe, is it this mentality again? Only I get to cut you down, huh? You've been a sea overlord for too long and have become too self-righteous! Looks like Big Mom's sea emperor won't last much longer!"
"Come on, let's begin the fun battle!" Kurumi placed two guns by her sides, her Akames glowing with bloodlust, "Let me kill you all!"
" First Bullet Aleph " Kurumi pointed her gun at her chin.
"What is she doing?!" Snack was shocked by Kurumi's self-injury.
"Bang!" Kurumi immediately shot herself and quickly fired Bet Ⅰ bullets at her clones.
"What is she doing?" Snack stood dumbfounded, watching as Kurumi sped up her side and cast a speed buff on herself without moving.
"You'll find out soon~"
The Kurumi clones suddenly disappeared from view.
"What!" Snack's Observation Haki also detected it—Kurumi's speed was so fast, his eyes couldn't keep up.
The closer Kurumi clones reached, the more they rapidly unleashed bullets at Snack.
"Damn!" Snack covered himself in Armament Haki, taking Kurumi's bullets head-on.
"Armament Haki is impressive~" The Kurumi clones adjusted their rifles and aimed at the almost immobile Amande and Mond.
"Despicable!" Snack turned and hugged the two, quickly pulling them away from the battlefield.
"Soldiers, stop them!"
The chess soldiers around them rushed toward the nearest Kurumi clone.
"Tsk." Kurumi withdrew most of her clones, leaving only ten behind to rest and recover her spent Armament Haki.
Kurumi grinned, "Perfect, my 'time' has been greatly consumed. Now you can help me replenish it~"
