Not even a moment of mourning for Rakuyo's sudden death as he was split in half. Next, the bombardment from Renedia made more than half of those captains lie on the ground.
As the smoke dispersed, a huge crater appeared on the ground, and in it lay several captains of the affiliated pirates, each charred and posed like Yamcha.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Captain of Squad 9, Blenheim shouted incredulously, "Rakuyo... absolutely impossible!"
These squad captains are definitely not that weak, each of them is confident and has faced countless battles and dared to challenge any strong figure on the sea.
But now, they couldn't even block one slash from Weevil and were directly split in half!
"Weevil!!"
Blenheim's eyes turned red, and the long sword in his grip was covered with Armament Haki as he charged straight towards Weevil, who maintained his slashing posture.
"Power Fluctuations!"
Renedia directly turned the cannon, and as she twisted the hammer handle, a ring of electrical sparks entered his body, causing his running motion to freeze instantly.
"Weevil, finish him!"
After a successful hit, Renedia immediately shouted out. Weevil, following orders like a robot, immediately turned around explosively, slashing down swiftly with a blade carrying Ultimate Armament Aura.
Even a moment of stiffness left Blenheim unable to dodge. At that instant, he couldn't even raise his weapon to block. As the long sword came slashing down, he could only focus all his haki on his waist ribs.
Boom!!
The Armament Haki covering the long blade slammed into Blenheim's waist ribs. In the Armament Haki attack, separated by a bit of distance, it instantly broke through his Haki Defense. The power of internal destruction shattered his internal body, causing blood to spill from the corner of his mouth.
Haki, being the manifestation of will, doesn't exist in a broken state; resistance is simply resistance. Even with added haki, it can still be breached.
Once breached...
Bam!!
The long blade swung fiercely to the side, sending Blenheim's body flying like a cannonball. He crashed into a giant tree nearby, destroying two massive trees and embedding deeply into the third tree.
Blenheim's eyes rolled white, his mouth opened unconsciously, and blood kept spilling out from the half of his body that was struck.
He couldn't even withstand a single strike!
"Focus! Focus!"
Weevil gripped the long handle tightly, panting and shouting.
"Hahaha! I've always said my ability is unstoppable! My underlings were also trained by Sage!"
Renedia stood on Weevil's shoulder, laughing triumphantly.
The squad captains do indeed count as decent strong figures on the sea, but their haki cannot withstand her ability, even a moment of stiffness, combined with Weevil, is more than enough.
She alone couldn't handle so many people, and Weevil alone couldn't either. No matter how reckless, no matter how excellent his Armament Haki, instantly taking down a prepared person is impossible.
After all, they are renowned strong figures on the sea.
But working together, it's different, especially with Weevil who has been enhanced.
Weevil is dubbed by Sage as having the heart of a child. Because he completely follows orders without thinking about anything, he becomes terrifying at certain times.
And this terrifying ability was never effectively utilized before; Buckin didn't know how to make Weevil stronger.
Weevil's previous combat relied solely on raw physical prowess, along with the strength comparable to Whitebeard and formidable Armament Haki.
Haki attainment cannot be taught, only advised, as each person's strength of will is different. Weevil's Armament Haki has reached a level that can release one or two bolts of lightning, so nothing else needs to be taught.
But no one understands the attainment of body techniques better than Sage.
In Sage's eyes, Weevil swinging in brute strength was just a gorilla with power but no finesse. But after adjustment, changing the technique, teaching Weevil how to concentrate force on a point and erupt instantly,
he becomes...
a gorilla that can burst out.
Not utilizing such power would be a waste.
The reason Whitebeard was powerful was not just skill and haki, but that physique and strength were also indispensable.
For others, learning might be slower, but Weevil could do it. This guy is too pure; if he trusts you, he will follow any order.
This mentality can't be described as strict; like a robot, he executes Sage's orders unconditionally.
With Buckin gone, he now obeys Sage, followed by recognizing Renedia as the big sister.
Unhesitatingly executing orders, applying concentrated force techniques, combined with powerful Armament Haki, can unleash extremely high damage.
If you stand still for Weevil to slash, even these squad captains and so-called pirate captains can't take a single hit from him.
Their Armament Haki can't withstand Weevil's Armament Haki; their strength... even less so.
Rakuyo was cut down like this. As the iron ball was hit back, his physique was unable to react completely under the power, hurriedly raising a chain, but at close range, how could he block Weevil's attack?
His haki couldn't withstand, and strength-wise, he couldn't withstand even more.
Numerous people?
Without decisive differences, Renedia has the confidence to take them all down!
Just as Renedia was feeling proud, not far from her in a sea of trees, several thunderbolt-like gleams suddenly flashed.
Kzzz kzzz kzzz!
Where the gleams passed, a large number of trees were sliced cleanly, and even before the trees fell completely, a lightning-like flash charged up, scattering a mass of cyan flame.
Within the ascending gleam, a beautiful figure was revealed.
"Flying Bird·Raid!"
Lily stepped on the air, creating a smoke ring. The white lightning in her hand maintained the upward thrust motion, then swiftly swung downward, producing an even larger gleam. It also mixed with wind pressure, forming a slash resembling an eagle's talons as it hunts.
Kzzz kzzz kzzz!
More trees were torn apart, also raising a burst of cyan flame that surged forward, bringing out a bird's claw, kicking towards Lily.
Bang!
Lily turned her downward slash sword at a diagonal, the blade hitting the bird claw enveloped in cyan flame. The collision of haki created a shockwave, making her quickly retreat, stepping on air again, and flashing with a few bolts of lightning, landing on a tree trunk.
She waved the blade, concentrating, as she watched that cyan flame swirling in the air.
On the bird claw, the cyan flame spun continuously, revealing a bird enveloped in blue flame. The bird swiftly contracted, forming a humanoid upper body.
Human body, bird claws, cyan flame wings, flying just like that in the air.
"It's better not to let you pass, though it's a bit unfair, Sage is too powerful."
The pineapple-headed figure formed from the cyan flame bird lightly laughed and spoke.
Marco the Phoenix!
