Soon, a minute passed. iser's body began to distort once more, but the process was significantly slower than before. Monts later, iser vanished from his original position.
Witnessing this, Saint Shamrock narrowed his eyes and remarked, "So he can still revive, huh..."
Although the revival seed far more difficult than previous instances, the man had indeed co back to life!
Glancing at iser, who had reappeared at the edge of the cliff, Saint Shamrock furrowed his brow.
anwhile, Gunko checked her pocket watch and stated, "Hmm, it's indeed about five minutes."
Not only had the revival ti extended to five minutes, but his complexion also looked worse than before!
No... it wasn't just his complexion.
The look in his eyes was far more intense than earlier!
'Does this an he's lost the ability to continue reviving?' Gunko speculated.
With that thought, she imdiately activated her Devil Fruit ability.
"Bzzzt—"
Two arrowheads materialized beside Gunko and shot rcilessly toward iser.
iser's "expression shifted," and he swiftly turned to flee.
"BOOM!!"
"BOOM!!"
The two arrowheads struck the spot where iser had just been, blasting two massive craters into the ground.
"Tch..."
Glancing back at the aftermath of the attack, iser clicked his tongue and said, "You really won't even let a man speak, huh?"
"And what did you want to say?" Gunko sneered. "Beg for rcy?"
Had he not awakened Conqueror's Haki, they might have considered capturing him alive.
But since he had awakened Conqueror's Haki... he absolutely had to die!
"Beg for rcy?"
"No, no, I never said anything about begging." iser shook his head.
Hearing his words, Gunko instinctively frowned. Was this bastard provoking her?
Then she asked, "So what did you want to say?"
"Nothing much, just feeling a bit sentintal."
While manipulating his Mangekyō Sharingan to gather the Sea Kings, iser remarked, "I never expected the World Governnt to deploy so much force just to deal with ."
"Heh, consider it an honor to die by the hands of us, the God's Knights," Saint Somrs scoffed.
Huff... Huff...
Saint Somrs: ???
Shooting a glance at Saint Rimoshifu, who had suddenly dozed off beside him, Saint Somrs struggled to maintain his composure.
'Couldn't this bastard check the situation before falling asleep? I'm in the middle of a tough-guy speech, damn it!'
iser, anwhile, gave Saint Rimoshifu a strange look, clearly not expecting the man to suddenly fall asleep at such a mont.
Just then, an arrowhead flew in from the side and lodged directly into Saint Rimoshifu's backside.
"Thwack!"
"Oww!"
Startled by the pain, Saint Rimoshifu imdiately woke up and demanded, "Who's there?!"
He had been sleeping so soundly—why would anyone hit him?
Thwack~
Saint Rimoshifu: !!!
After a glance at Gunko's expressionless stare, Saint Rimoshifu fell silent for a mont before casually looking away as if nothing had happened.
If possible, he didn't want to provoke this madwoman.
Observing their reactions, iser shook his head and remarked, "What a bunch of weirdos."
"Are you trying to stall for ti?" Saint Shamrock raised an eyebrow.
Was he planning to regain so stamina during this delay?
Not a bad idea, but against powerhouses like them... what good would a little recovered stamina do?
"You caught ..." iser slipped his hand into his Ninja Tool Pouch and said, "It seems escaping from you all won't be easy."
"Not just 'not easy'—it's downright impossible!" Gunko retorted bluntly.
In this situation, there was no way he'd leave here alive!
"You won't know until you try!"
As soon as he spoke, iser unhesitatingly threw a smoke bomb to the ground.
Poof!
Smoke instantly erupted, enveloping the area where iser stood.
"Pathetic trick!" Gunko sneered.
While speaking, she summoned an arrowhead and shot it straight into the smoke toward iser!
Clang!
A fist imbued with Haki smashed into the arrowhead, sending the attack flying away!
Imdiately after, iser activated his ninjutsu without hesitation.
"Water Release: Water Surge!"
Hummm~
As iser's words faded, water surged beneath his feet, transforming into a powerful wave!
Boom!!
A terrifying torrent of water erupted from around iser, rushing toward the distant group!
"A Water Release Technique?" Borsalino muttered.
After a mont's thought, Borsalino transford into a flash of light, instantly soaring into the air.
anwhile, the God's Knights were lifted into mid-air by Gunko's arrowheads, evading the watery assault.
Once this was done, Gunko fixed her gaze on iser's position and said, "Blood-Eyed Ninja, you—"
Before she could finish, she saw iser dart to the edge of the cliff and leap off without hesitation.
At the sa ti, iser's voice carried from afar.
"Farewell for now, everyone!"
"Especially you, arrowhead girl who likes wearing her panties outside—I'm sure Brook would be thrilled to et you!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Brook?"
Hearing the na, Gunko froze for a mont, then frowned in thought. Why does that na sound familiar?
Was it just her imagination?
"Gunko, what are you spacing out for?" Saint Shamrock barked. "Hurry up and use your ability to create a bird—we're going after him!"
Whether the guy survived the fall or not, they had to bring his body back!
"Right, on it."
Snapping back to attention, Gunko promptly ford an arrowhead bird capable of carrying two people and, with Saint Shamrock, took off in pursuit of iser below.
"Kizaru, follow them!"
Borsalino sighed helplessly at the words but still followed the other person away from the place.
In the end, only Saint Rimoshifu and Saint Somrs remained.
"What should we do?"
Saint Somrs, suspended in mid-air by an arrow, turned to look at Saint Rimoshifu and said, "Are we just going to hang here like this?"
"Of course not."
Saint Rimoshifu replied, "Once the water flow below stops, we can go down."
Saint Somrs thought for a mont, then nodded in agreent.
Shortly after, the water on the ground slowed and eventually cald completely.
Seeing this, Saint Rimoshifu decisively used his fork to break the arrow behind him, freeing himself.
Saint Somrs followed suit, releasing himself as well.
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
Finally, both of them landed on the ground below.
Glancing toward the cliff of the Red Line, Saint Somrs remarked, "I never expected that guy to actually dare jump straight down..."
This is ten thousand ters high!
If that guy has used up all his revival chances, this fall alone could kill him!
"He had no other choice," Saint Rimoshifu stated.
Aside from jumping down, the opponent had no second option.
As for Earth Release Technique?
If he still had the stamina to use Earth Release Technique, he would have escaped with it long ago!
So... the opponent truly has exhausted all his tricks now.
"That's true," Saint Somrs nodded.
After a pause, he turned to look into the distance and said, "How about... we go after them too?"
"How?" Saint Rimoshifu retorted.
"Using your ability, of course," Saint Somrs said. "You can summon a flying Nightmare Creature from my dreams."
"Then we can ride that Nightmare Creature to chase down the Blood-Eyed Ninja."
With Saint Rimoshifu's ability, creating a flying Nightmare Creature wouldn't be difficult.
"There's no need," Saint Rimoshifu shook his head. "With their combined strength, dealing with a nearly dead enemy shouldn't be a problem."
"Besides... neither of us excels at naval combat."
Even if they could fly out on a Nightmare Creature, if the Blood-Eyed Ninja attacked them with Water Release Technique, they risked falling into the sea.
At that point... who knows if the Blood-Eyed Ninja might drag them into the deep ocean!
Saint Somrs fell silent for a mont, then nodded. "Alright, we won't go then."
Saint Rimoshifu was right—there was no real need for them to go.
Then, Saint Somrs turned his gaze to the nearby cliff and muttered, "I wonder if that guy even has a chance of making it back to the sea."
With Gunko's ability, she might just manage to kill him mid-air.
"Let's go, our presence isn't needed here anymore," Saint Rimoshifu said. "We should deliver the photos back."
"Alright!"
anwhile, elsewhere.
In the air ahead of the Red Line, iser was locked in a fierce clash with Saint Shamrock and the others.
"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"
"Whoosh~"
An incredibly terrifying high-pressure water jet shot from iser's mouth, instantly piercing a tiny hole through the arrowhead bird created by Gunko!
Then, iser slightly turned his head, intending to use this fearso high-pressure water jet to slice through the opponent's arrowhead bird and send these guys plumting down!
"Don't even think about it!"
Realizing iser's intention, Gunko imdiately activated her Devil Fruit ability without hesitation, creating an arrowhead that could redirect the attack's trajectory.
She then positioned this arrowhead directly in front of the Water Severing Wave, forcibly altering its path.
"Zzzzt~"
The redirected attack whooshed sideways, instantly reaching Borsalino's face.
Borsalino: ???
Seeing Gunko redirect the attack toward him, several question marks popped up on Borsalino's face.
Seriously? Is this how you fight?
Harming your own ally?
At this thought, a flicker of displeasure crossed Borsalino's eyes.
He quickly shifted the elental composition of his abdon to another location to defend against iser's Water Severing Wave.
The next mont...
"Pfft!"
The terrifying high-pressure water jet effortlessly pierced through Borsalino's elental body, leaving a glowing hole in his torso!
Glancing down at the wound on his abdon, Borsalino muttered, "Kowai ne~"
Ignoring Borsalino's catchphrase muttering, iser frowned at Gunko and thought, "What a troubleso Devil Fruit ability. It's sowhat similar to Kuma's power, but while Kuma repels attacks, this one alters their direction." After a mont's consideration, iser concluded inwardly, "I'll need to launch an attack either too fast for her to react or with a wide enough area of effect."
At that mont, iser recalled previously activating the Eight Slopes Magatama—that ti, he had blasted her to pieces.
But if he resorted to Susanoo now, it would an he hadn't reached his limit yet.
With that in mind, iser dismissed the idea of using Susanoo. At least until the final mont, he wouldn't use it.
Well, it didn't matter anyway. His goal wasn't to kill this woman, so there was no need to dwell on it.
Just then, a mirror shimring with golden light materialized in Borsalino's hand.
"Yata Mirror~"
"Whoosh~"
In the next instant, a beam of yellow light shot out from the mirror, heading straight for iser in the distance.
Then, transforming into a streak of yellow light, Borsalino appeared beside iser and quipped with a playful glint in his eyes, "Blood-Eyed Ninja,
have... you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"
As he spoke, his long leg, infused with Haki, swept rcilessly toward iser.
Seeing this, iser imdiately enveloped himself in Haki infusion to withstand Borsalino's attack head-on.
The next mont...
"Thud!"
The heavy whip-like kick connected with iser's body, instantly sending him flying uncontrollably through the air!
"Whoosh~"
Like a cannonball, iser hurtled away at trendous speed!
Gunko: ???
Staring at Borsalino, who had just kicked iser away, several question marks surfaced on Gunko's face.
What's the aning of this move?
Trying to send him packing?
At this thought, Gunko's face showed a dissatisfied expression.
But before she could speak, Borsalino moved again.
His Yata Mirror reappeared in his hand, and he charged toward iser using the sa technique as before.
Then, he lifted his long leg to launch an attack.
"Enough already!"
Seeing Kizaru's movent, a flash of irritation crossed iser's eyes, and he imdiately threw a punch toward Kizaru's long leg.
"Armant - Super Strength Fist!"
"Clang!!"
The fist wrapped in Haki slamd fiercely into Borsalino's leg, instantly triggering a terrifying explosion!
"Boom!!"
Then, with no leverage, iser was sent flying by the force of Borsalino's attack, hurtling toward Gunko and the others.
However, this ti, his speed was noticeably slower than before.
"Because he counterattacked actively, the force he received was less than expected."
Saint Shamrock, who had grasped the key point, instinctively narrowed his eyes.
After a glance at the serious-faced Borsalino, Saint Shamrock drew the long sword in his hand, focused his gaze, and shouted, "Cerberus!!!"
