"Look out!"
Buffalo was shocked and hurriedly gained altitude, narrowly avoiding the tearing force of the slash.
But in the next second, he suddenly felt his body grow heavy.
It was as if...
Soone else was standing on his back besides Baby 5.
"Nice reflexes."
It turned out that Buffalo's intuition was correct.
There really was another person on his back.
A soft chuckle reached the ears of both Buffalo and Baby 5.
The faces of the two changed instantly; one looked up while the other spun around.
They saw Zane, who should have been on the deck below, standing behind them on Buffalo's back.
He stomped his foot down.
Before Buffalo or Baby 5 could react, Zane's kick sent Buffalo screaming toward the ground.
Amid the violent shaking, Baby 5 cried out as she fell from Buffalo's back.
But very quickly, a hand caught her by the waist.
"Don't struggle. I really need you."
Hearing those words, Baby 5 trembled. She looked back at Zane with a mix of surprise and joy as he held her.
Bang!!!
At that mont, the two landed on the harbor below.
With his knees slightly bent, Zane easily absorbed the impact, even taking a mont to leisurely admire the breathtaking sight of the weapon-woman's curves as they heaved in his arms.
"Do you really need ?" Baby 5 turned half-way, looking at Zane with expectant eyes.
"Of course. Not only do I need you, but I'll need you forever," Zane replied with a smile.
Knowing the plot, he understood this woman's weakness all too well.
Because of her tragic childhood, she desperately craved being needed, a desire that had twisted into a total obsession.
Case in point.
Even though Zane was an enemy, once he said he needed her, Baby 5 couldn't refuse.
"Baby 5! This guy is the enemy! Don't fall for it!"
Unlike Baby 5, who was safely brought to the ground by Zane, Buffalo wasn't so lucky.
The fall had been hard, and seeing Baby 5 leaning happily in the enemy's arms turned his face livid with rage.
Buffalo's shouts tried to wake Baby 5, but he was only t with Zane's contemptuous gaze.
'You still want to cause trouble for ? Look, I made your companion succumb with just a single sentence.'
Zane's gaze was so blunt that Buffalo felt as if he could hear the man's inner thoughts.
"You bastard!"
Buffalo's eyes nearly burst from their sockets. He roared and lowered his head, activating his Spin-Spin Fruit ability.
His head turned into a propeller, unleashing a powerful storm directly at Zane.
"Dance with !"
Facing the incoming storm, Zane remained unfazed. Instead, he held Baby 5 and moved like a master of the dance floor.
With a shift of his dance steps,
Zane dodged the storm with elegant moves, quickly bringing Baby 5 to Buffalo's side.
Thwack!!
With a casual palm strike, Buffalo was knocked to the ground, falling unconscious.
"Good girl. Now, please help keep an eye on him. Don't let him run away."
Looking at Baby 5, who was exceptionally obedient and cooperative during their dance, Zane felt quite satisfied.
He didn't consider himself a lecher, but when faced with such an obedient girl like Baby 5, he couldn't help but feel a certain fondness for her.
He leaned down and kissed her beautiful cheek, then left after giving his instructions.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely keep an eye on him!"
Seeing how much Zane trusted her, Baby 5 felt an even deeper sense of being needed.
She shouted toward Zane's retreating back and then began to seriously guard the unconscious Buffalo.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
While Zane was dealing with the enemies—
Manlong was engaged in a fierce battle with Lao G.
"Fishman Karate: Shark Tile True Punch!"
"G-Earth Fist: Back-Pain Style: Moldy Ice!"
On the already dilapidated street, Manlong continuously threw powerful punches, each carrying the unique shockwave of Fishman Karate.
On the other side, Lao G was equally impressive.
His seemingly old and frail body was exceptionally flexible and swift.
He moved with a speed that surpassed normal dynamic vision, spinning and attacking Manlong's shoulders.
Their fists collided repeatedly; whether attacking or defending, both sought to suppress the other in combat.
After a short exchange, the two had roughly sized each other up.
Manlong was surprised that such an old man possessed such strength.
Lao G was shocked by the other's monstrous power.
'This Fishman's Armant Haki isn't very refined, and he doesn't seem to have Observation Haki, but his physical constitution is exceptional. If I want to end this quickly, I must go all out.'
If there were only one enemy, Lao G wouldn't mind a prolonged fight, as he believed his chances of winning were higher.
But there wasn't just one enemy.
The man who had kicked out a slash earlier was definitely no ordinary person.
Therefore, he had to secure a victory here as soon as possible before facing that man.
Bang!!!
Another collision occurred.
Deciding to win quickly, Lao G took the initiative to back away, creating distance between them.
"Haaah!!!"
With a loud roar, Lao G's withered and small body underwent a dramatic transformation, puffing up like a balloon until he beca incredibly tall and muscular.
"G-Earth Fist Ultimate Secret Technique: Combat Preservation!"
This was the ultimate art of the G-Earth Fist.
It was a Qigong technique Lao G developed to store the strength of his youth within his body, allowing him to fight even when ill, injured, or elderly.
"Hmm?"
Lao G's sudden change caused Manlong's pupils to shrink.
But before he could react, Lao G attacked aggressively.
With newfound speed, Lao G was in front of Manlong in an instant, throwing a punch with a loud shout.
Manlong hurriedly crossed his arms to block.
But the explosive force of the impact made him lose his balance, sending him flying backward.
A crimson flash flickered in his eyes.
Just as he sent Manlong flying and prepared to follow up, Lao G suddenly turned his head toward the nearby ruins.
"Don't mind , carry on with your fight!"
Zane was sitting on a broken wall in the ruins, his hands crossed under his chin, calmly watching the battle.
"Die!!!"
Obviously, Lao G couldn't ignore Zane.
In fact, Zane's appearance filled him with shock and rage.
After all, Buffalo and Baby 5 were supposed to be pinning Zane down.
Now that Zane was here, what had happened to them?
Without hesitation, Lao G let out a roar, abandoned Manlong, and charged straight at Zane.
"Back-Pain Style: Eye-Poke!"
As he closed in, Lao G spun rapidly, his hands lunging for Zane's eyes.
Boom!!!
Lao G's hands were blocked by an ethereal door.
Behind the door, Zane looked at him calmly.
"Door-Door Fruit: Absolute Defense!"
Paracia types are very dependent on one's imagination.
The concept of a 'door' is vast.
Ever since he obtained the Door-Door Fruit, Zane had not only built upon Blueno's techniques but had also done his own research.
Like this 'Absolute Defense' right now.
The inspiration ca from security doors.
A door is not just for passage; it is also for isolation.
The barrier created by Absolute Defense was a spatial security door that completely blocked out external forces.
