Not giving Onigumo any chance to strike him, iser threw a punch the mont before the attack landed.
Instinctively, Onigumo wanted to block the punch with Iron Body, but his gut told him that doing so might be disastrous.
Without hesitation, Onigumo wrapped his chest in Armant Haki, intending to endure iser's strike while countering with a Finger Pistol to kill him!
As a hardline Vice Admiral, Onigumo was ruthless—both to others and himself!
"Bam!"
The instant iser's fist connected, Onigumo's expression changed.
'What monstrous strength!'
His counterattack wouldn't land in ti... Damn it, there was nothing to brace against mid-air!
"Whoosh—"
"BOOM!!"
Sent flying by iser's punch, Onigumo shot back like a cannonball into the fleet, crashing onto Strawberry's battleship.
Strawberry: ???
Hadn't he been ordered to continue the bombardnt? Why was he flying back here?
"Did I say you could leave?" Standing atop the dragon's head, iser calmly addressed the Navy Battleships.
Strawberry's face darkened. Was this guy looking down on them?
"This bastard hits like a beast," Onigumo muttered, glancing at his abdon as he stood back up.
Fortunately, the opponent didn't seem to wield Haki—otherwise, his ribs might've shattered.
"I told you, this guy isn't normal," Momonga said.
Anyone who dared single-handedly halt a Buster Call couldn't be so ordinary foe.
Momonga even suspected this man might be like Douglas Bullet—a madman with terrifying power!
This ti, no one objected, their gazes locked intently on iser.
...
anwhile, Robin's group successfully used Blueno's ability to reach the Gates of Justice, where Spandam's ship waited nearby.
"Those Gates of Justice are seriously imposing," Franky remarked in awe.
He couldn't fathom how the World Governnt had constructed sothing so massive—it defied human capability.
"So those are the Buster Call battleships..."
Nami gulped as she counted the nine warships in the distance. Up close, their oppressive presence was overwhelming.
Wait... nine?
"Look over there! One of the ships got sliced in half!" Usopp exclaid, pointing excitedly. "Did iser do that?!"
As he spoke, Usopp stole another glance at the man standing atop the distant dragon's head, his face alight with exhilaration.
Was this the power of a Ninja?
Nin!
Ja!
Ninja!
"Guess he wasn't bluffing after all..." Franky muttered.
Watching the standoff unfold, Franky couldn't help but marvel at the Ninja's terrifying strength.
In such a short ti, he'd already cleaved through a Navy Battleship—one commanded by a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, no less!
"iser..."
Nico Robin's eyes welled with tears as she stared at his silhouette. This man was truly holding back the Buster Call!
"Gyaaaah!!"
"Why is there soone this terrifying here?!"
Spandam's panicked voice ca from ahead.
At the sa ti, the shocked cries of the Navy soldiers echoed through the air.
"Seems this bastard didn't run away in advance," Franky grinned viciously.
"Because iser planted a psychological suggestion in him," Blueno, who had remained silent until now, spoke up. "He's the one who took Nico Robin away. How could we let him off without settling the score?"
"Nico Robin, this is iser's gift for you."
"And of course, that too."
As he spoke, Blueno glanced calmly at the nine warships in the distance.
Nico Robin remained silent for a mont before smiling. "What a gentle guy..."
"Everyone, let's go steal those ships."
"Whoo!"
This exclamation imdiately caught Momonga's attention.
Frowning at the figures running across the bridge, he muttered, "That's..."
"Reporting, Vice Admiral! Those are mbers of the Straw Hat Pirates!"
"The Straw Hat Pirates..." Momonga's eyes swept over iser before he shouted, "Kid, so you're with the Straw Hat Pirates?"
"Heh, that's right," iser admitted openly. "I'm the ninja of the Straw Hat Pirates. Pleased to et you all~"
"Ninja?"
Doberman visibly stiffened—he'd only heard that term from Admiral Aokiji before, and it originated from the Land of Wano.
But wasn't that Kaido's territory? Why would a ninja join the Straw Hat Pirates?
A sche?
Or sothing else?
"I don't care if you're a ninja or not," Doberman said coldly. "You're dying here today."
He had also noticed the people on the bridge, but he paid them no mind—just insignificant ants. The priority was killing the man before them. Once he was dead, the rest wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
"Let's take him down together."
"Right!"
Onigumo wasted no ti, charging forward alongside Doberman.
As hardliners, they saw no issue with ganging up on an enemy. Any ans were justified if it ant eradicating evil pirates!
"Moonwalk!"
"Single Sword Style: Sunset Slash!"
"Two Sword Style: Spider Demon!"
The two Navy Vice Admirals appeared above iser, attacking simultaneously!
"Water Release: Water Surge!!"
"BOOM!!"
The water beneath iser's feet erupted violently, transforming into a terrifying tidal wave that crashed toward the two n.
The overwhelming force completely blocked their attacks, sending them flying backward.
"Damn it!!" Doberman cursed as the impact hurled him back. "What the hell is up with this guy's ninjutsu?!"
The relentless waves not only stopped their attacks but also pushed them back—making it impossible to launch another assault.
"How should I know?" Onigumo scowled. This was his first ti fighting such an opponent—he had no clue what abilities the man possessed.
Just then, iser's voice reached them from afar, sounding like a death knell in their ears.
"You... touched seawater, didn't you?"
The expressions of the two n changed instantly, their instincts screaming that sothing was wrong—but iser gave them no chance to react.
"Lightning Release: Earth Run!"
"Zzzzt—"
The terrifying lightning attack spread rapidly, catching up to the fleeing Doberman and Onigumo at speeds invisible to the naked eye.
"Ahh!"
The dreadful electricity coursed through their bodies, paralyzing them completely, leaving them unable to move even a muscle.
"BOOM!!"
With the force of the crashing waves, the two immobilized n could only watch helplessly as they were hurled into the sea, powerless to resist!
"Doberman!"
"Onigumo!"
The faces of the other three paled, never expecting things to escalate to this point.
In just a few breaths, Doberman and Onigumo had already been struck down and plunged into the ocean?
Yet iser's expression remained as calm as ever, as if he had known this would be the outco from the very beginning.
"Now then... who's next?"
"BOOM!!"
As he spoke, two massive Water Dragons surged into existence beside iser once again!
