"You're ruthless," iser said, staring at Gunko. "To kill so many of your own people without a shred of rcy."
He could understand attacking to destroy her own clones, but why kill the guards as well?
Weren't they on the sa side?
"Own people?"
Gunko glanced indifferently at the guards she had just dispatched and said, "Who said they were my own people?"
"To , they are nothing more than lower-class beings."
They were rely guards. So what if she killed them all?
She could just recruit another batch after a while, so she felt no remorse in killing them.
As for those Nightmare Creatures...
Her attacks couldn't completely destroy them, so she didn't pay them much mind.
"Lower-class beings..." iser murmured. "That kind of talk again."
It seed this woman was also one of the Celestial Dragons.
Then, iser fixed his gaze on Gunko and said, "How truly... arrogant."
"Arrogant?"
Gunko paused for a mont, then shook her head. "No, no, no, I'm rely stating a fact."
In the eyes of Celestial Dragons like them, all other human races were lower-class beings!
So... she wasn't wrong in saying so.
This ti, iser didn't argue with her. After all, there was no point in debating with soone like her.
Then, iser grabbed the black Giant that was still wrestling with him and sent a kick flying!
Bang!!
The imnse force sent it flying, soaring toward the distant swarm of black creatures!
Swoosh—
Boom!!
Its heavy body crashed into so Nightmare Creatures, sending them tumbling in disarray.
Not giving these creatures another chance to rush forward and attack him, iser ford a pale golden Eight Slopes Magatama with a flick of his wrist.
"Have a taste of this!" iser shouted. As his voice fell, he hurled the Eight Slopes Magatama in his hand!
Swoosh!
The massive Eight Slopes Magatama flew swiftly into the center of the Nightmare Creature swarm, then produced an incredibly terrifying explosion that instantly engulfed the area where the creatures were, causing the very earth to tremble!
BOOM!!
"What... What the hell was that?!"
Watching the massive explosion in the distance, the people in Mary Geoise were stunned.
"What the hell is that thing?" a slave said, his face pale. "A weapon of the World Governnt?"
If the World Governnt possessed a weapon of such power... should they even continue to fight?
"I don't know..." another slave gulped and said. "But no matter what, there's no turning back for us."
"That's true."
From the mont they stepped out of the slave cells, there was no turning back.
After all... the World Governnt would never let slaves like them leave this place alive!
With this thought, the slaves temporarily suppressed their worries and turned to flee into the distance.
A guard who noticed this scene imdiately shouted, "Hey, stop spacing out! Hurry up and chase them down!"
If they really let these guys escape, they would be dead!
The other guards also averted their gazes and shouted as they pursued the slaves.
"Captain, what was that just now?" a guard asked tentatively.
The guard captain fell silent for a mont, then shook his head. "I don't know either."
"Could it be a World Governnt weapon?"
"Perhaps," the guard captain said.
However, he was more inclined to believe that the attack was launched by so monster.
For example... the Blood-Eyed Ninja who had wreaked havoc at Marine Headquarters alongside Whitebeard!
At this thought, the guard captain looked toward the eastern district, thinking, Could it be him?
Or had one of the Marine Admirals already arrived?
With this thought, the man led the other mbers in a swift pursuit of the distant slaves.
"All of you, stop right there!!!"
"Stop?"
The slaves sneered upon hearing this. "Only a fool would stop!"
If they stopped now, would they be allowed to live?
Did they really think they were idiots!
"Brothers, ignore these guys! Let's fight our way out together!"
"Yeah!"
"Kill! Let's fight our way out together!!"
For a mont, the sky shook with the sounds of battle cries!
"Hm?"
Saint Rimoshifu, who had been awakened, was taken aback. He then learned what had just happened through the remaining Nightmare Creatures.
"That Blood-Eyed Ninja fellow actually took out so many of my Nightmare Creatures with a single blow..." Saint Rimoshifu said with a frown. "What astonishing destructive power."
However... to launch an attack of such power, his own consumption must have been imnse!
At this thought, Saint Rimoshifu grinned.
"As long as these people are still dreaming, my Nightmare Energy is limitless!" Saint Rimoshifu said. "And how much stamina do you have?"
With that, Saint Rimoshifu activated his Devil Fruit Ability, drawing Nightmare Energy from the Nightmare Nest and channeling it toward the distant battlefield!
After doing this, Saint Rimoshifu cast his gaze into the distance, thinking, It would be good if I could exhaust this guy's stamina.
That way... they could capture him alive!
And the value of a live capture was far greater than obtaining a corpse!
Thinking of this, Saint Rimoshifu burst into laughter.
Then, he said, "Blood-Eyed Ninja... I'd like to see how long you can fight!"
He wasn't the only one thinking this; Saint Saturn had the sa idea.
"If we can exhaust the Blood-Eyed Ninja's stamina, we'll have a chance to capture him alive," Saint Saturn said.
"Capture him alive?"
Saint Warcury was stunned for a mont, then shook his head. "What's the point of that?"
"He's not a Devil Fruit Ability User. Even if we capture him, we have no way to restrain him."
Once that guy recovered his stamina, it would inevitably lead to another huge battle!
So... it was better to just kill him directly.
"You think I'd give him a chance to recover?" Saint Saturn sneered. "I can accomplish what I want to do while he's weak."
Hearing this, Saint Warcury gave Saint Saturn a strange look. Then, as if he had thought of sothing, his expression beca peculiar.
As expected of our Warrior God of Science and Defense, Saint Warcury mused inwardly.
Thinking about it, it made sense. As long as they could capture him alive, they could get what they wanted, couldn't they!
"Where is that Borsalino fellow?" Saint Mars said.
Although it was inconvenient for them to act for the ti being, Borsalino could!
If two God's Knights and a Marine Admiral joined forces, they should be able to take him down.
"I don't know," Saint Saturn said, shaking his head. "But he should be arriving soon."
Even if that guy Borsalino was at Marine Headquarters, he could reach Marineford in a matter of minutes, so he felt the man should be arriving here soon.
Saint Mars fell silent for a mont, then rubbed his temples. "I hope that guy hurries up."
Looking at the huge crater iser had created with a single blow, Gunko frowned.
"This level of power..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw iser below her form another Eight Slopes Magatama!!
"Try this one!" iser shouted.
As his voice fell, iser threw the Eight Slopes Magatama in his hand directly at Gunko!
Swoosh—
The Eight Slopes Magatama flew at extre speed, reaching Gunko in mid-air in the blink of an eye!
Seeing this, Gunko's pupils instantly shrank.
Then, she unhesitatingly manipulated her Devil Fruit Ability, placing an arrowhead beside her, intending to deflect the attack.
But before her arrowhead could touch the Eight Slopes Magatama, she saw it suddenly light up!
As if she had realized sothing, Gunko's heart suddenly clenched.
This guy intends to detonate it prematurely?!
The next mont...
BOOM!!
In an instant, Gunko was swallowed by the terrifying explosive flas!
Watching the figure engulfed by the explosion, iser narrowed his eyes and said, "Hmph, let's see you block this."
His opponent could indeed rely on her arrowheads to divert his attacks, but it wouldn't necessarily be effective against an attack that exploded right in her face!
The next mont, an unidentified object, engulfed in flas, fell from the sky, crashing toward the ground in the distance.
Seeing this, iser sneered, "Another one down!"
It seed the combat strength of the Celestial Dragons' fighting force wasn't all that great.
However... a Marine Admiral should be on his way by now.
He just didn't know if it would be Aokiji or Kizaru this ti.
Or... would both of them co?
Hmm, the latter seed more likely.
Thinking of this, iser nodded.
Just then, iser noticed so changes in the distance.
The bodies of the Nightmare Creatures that had just been killed began to distort again, clearly intending to reform.
Seeing this, iser said, "Looks like I can't get rid of these things for good without dealing with that Devil Fruit Ability User."
"Then I'll just poke a few holes in them first!"
With this thought, iser raised the Ti-Piercing Spear of Toki in his hand and hurled it at the Nightmare Creatures in the distance!
Swoosh!
Pfft!
With one strike, it effortlessly pierced through the still-distorting Nightmare Creatures!
Then, iser activated Yomotsu Hirasaka, freezing the wound on the Nightmare Creature in place!
Buzz—
After doing this, iser once again ford a Ti-Piercing Spear of Toki in his hand and, in the sa fashion, punched one large hole after another in the Nightmare Creatures!
Looking at the Nightmare Creatures that wanted to reform their bodies but couldn't, iser snorted and said, "Hmph, let's see if you take the bait now!"
As long as that person dared to send that strange energy over, then... he could follow the trail to find that person's location!
Thinking of this, iser began to observe the ground around him, trying to see which direction the strange energy was coming from.
But he was soon disappointed, as he discovered the energy was coming from all directions!
Watching the Nightmare Creatures reform their bodies after receiving new energy, iser frowned and said, "It seems this Devil Fruit Ability User is more cautious than I imagined."
In that case... finding that person would not be an easy task.
"Hiss... That really hurts," iser said, grimacing. "It seems maintaining this stage of Susanoo for a long ti puts too much strain on the body."
Feeling the pain in his body, iser sucked in a sharp breath, then deactivated Susanoo, allowing himself to return to the ground.
The mont he landed, a look of imnse relief appeared on iser's face.
"Phew... that feels good," iser said with satisfaction.
That feeling... was even more refreshing than drinking a cold beverage on a hot sumr day!
Then, iser turned his gaze to the Nightmare Creatures that were almost back to their original forms and said, "I'll use Shadow Clones to find that guy's location!"
Although searching for an ability user in such a massive city was extrely difficult, it was better than doing nothing at all, wasn't it!
With this in mind, iser used his Pupil Technique to restore his condition a bit, then prepared to use the Shadow Clone Technique.
Just then, iser felt a strong sense of crisis, as if sothing with murderous intent was lunging at him.
This feeling was... from behind!
The instant iser sensed the attack, an arrowhead flew in from behind, piercing him straight through!
Pfft!
The sharp arrowhead, wreathed in Haki, impaled iser and lifted him into the air!
"An arrowhead?"
Looking at the arrowhead that had pierced him, several question marks popped up in iser's mind.
Was this from that woman just now?
Hadn't she already been killed by his Eight Slopes Magatama? How could she still...
Wait!
Could it be that the one he killed just now was a clone created by her ability?!
If so, that would explain why she was still alive.
Then, under the effect of Kishu Mitsu Mikoto, iser's body twisted and eventually disappeared from its spot.
When he reappeared, he was completely unhard.
Seeing this, Gunko frowned and said, "So this is your Undying Body..."
She was certain her previous attack had pierced his heart, yet in the blink of an eye, he had recovered.
This terrifying ability was even more frightening than their own rapid regeneration!
"Shouldn't you have known about this already?" iser raised an eyebrow.
"I did know about it long ago, I just didn't expect your recovery speed to be this fast," Gunko said.
Hearing Gunko's words, iser imdiately analyzed a piece of information.
That was... she probably hadn't watched the battle at Marine Headquarters, otherwise she would definitely know how fast his recovery speed was!
Then, iser said, "What's the deal with you, anyway?"
"A clone, you an?"
"A clone?"
A strange glint flashed in Gunko's eyes upon hearing this, and she said flatly, "If you say so."
Then, without giving iser much ti to think, Gunko decisively launched an attack on him.
"Arrow Rain!"
A large number of arrowheads appeared in mid-air, then rained down rcilessly on iser!
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Rampart!"
Boom!!
A massive wall of earth appeared in front of iser, protecting him behind it.
The next mont...
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
A large number of arrowheads slamd into iser's Earth Flow Wall, causing it to shake violently and sending a large amount of rock flying!
A mont later...
BOOM!!
After withstanding a massive number of attacks, the Earth Flow Wall was finally shattered by Gunko's arrowheads!
"Die!" Gunko shouted.
As her voice fell, several arrowheads shot forward, heading straight for iser's head!
