After eliminating several Shadow Clones, Gunko stepped onto an arrowhead to arrive at the scene, immediately noticing the pitiable state of Saint Rimoshifu.
"This idiot..."
Why would someone whose expertise isn't close combat challenge the Blood-Eyed Ninja to a one-on-one fight? Is this guy out of his mind?
Noticing Gunko's gaze, Saint Rimoshifu weakly pleaded, "Help me... Just remove these damned Seastone Handcuffs and I can recover quickly!!"
But Gunko ignored Saint Rimoshifu completely, instead fixing her attention on the Blood-Eyed Ninja.
Without hesitation, she launched her attack.
"Arrow Rain!"
Countless arrowheads materialized around Gunko, infused with Haki as they shot toward Meiser.
At that moment, Borsalino happened to finish dealing with the Clones around him and charged toward their position.
"Yasakani Sacred Jewel!"
Borsalino conjured numerous laser orbs, simultaneously attacking Meiser.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
After glancing at their attacks, Meiser decided to rely on Susanoo's defensive capabilities to withstand the assault!
He then turned and manipulated Susanoo to draw the Substance Shifting Bow, firing an arrow in one fluid motion!
"Whoosh~"
A pale golden arrow shot forth, embedding itself in Saint Rimoshifu's waist in the blink of an eye.
"Thud!"
Saint Rimoshifu:!!!
Looking down at the pale golden arrow protruding from his body, Saint Rimoshifu's pupils contracted to pinpoints.
"Damn you!"
"Causality Lightning Storm!"
"Explode!"
"BOOM!!"
A terrifying force erupted within Saint Rimoshifu, blasting everything below his chest into fragments!
The remaining upper portion of his body was sent flying by the explosion, crashing into a distant building before being buried beneath the rubble.
Having accomplished this, Meiser turned his attention to Borsalino and Gunko.
Just then, cracks began to appear on Meiser's Susanoo.
"Crack~"
"Hmm?"
Noticing the damaged Susanoo, Meiser frowned.
He remarked, "An incomplete Susanoo really is fragile."
As he spoke, the Susanoo shattered under the combined assault, allowing numerous laser orbs and arrowheads to pour through, striking Meiser's main body with precision.
"BOOM!!"
"BOOM!!"
"BOOM!!"
"Thud!!"
"Thud!!"
"Thud!!"
In mere moments, Meiser's body was riddled with holes like a leaking pot!
The next instant, Meiser's form distorted before vanishing from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already mid-air.
"Die!"
Gripping the TimePiercingSpearOfToki, Meiser thrust it toward Borsalino without hesitation.
Seeing this, Borsalino infused his long leg with Haki and delivered a powerful kick!
"Clang!"
"BOOM!!"
An explosion rang out, sending a shower of sparks flying!
"Oh~"
Borsalino, who had blocked Meiser's attack, tilted his head slightly and said, "Am I being underestimated?"
Instead of dealing with the weaker arrow girl first, he had chosen to attack him... Did Meiser think he was easier to handle without an undying body?
Meiser offered no response, simply manipulating Susanoo to throw another punch.
This time, Borsalino didn't attempt to block it head-on but instead vanished from the spot in a flash of yellow light.
Seizing the opportunity, Gunko controlled her arrows to position herself beneath Meiser, launching an attack from below.
"Whoosh~"
A sharp arrow shot up through the gap under Susanoo, aiming straight for Meiser's lower body.
Meiser: !!!
His eyes widened in shock as he detected Gunko's assault.
Seriously? Such a dirty move?
While thinking this, Meiser swiftly adjusted his stance and countered with a backhand punch directed at the arrow below.
"Armament - Super Strength Fist!"
"Clang!"
"Boom!!"
After knocking the arrow away with a single strike, Meiser began descending toward the ground.
Gunko tried to repeat her tactic, but the clone stationed on a distant building didn't give her the chance.
"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"
"Whoosh~"
A terrifying high-pressure water jet shot over from afar, speeding toward Gunko at an incredible velocity!
Gunko: !!!
Sensing the danger, Gunko immediately maneuvered her arrows upward, attempting to evade the attack.
Unfortunately, she was a step too slow.
"Thud!"
The sharp, high-pressure water line easily pierced through Gunko's thigh, leaving a gaping hole.
Then, Meiser's clone initiated the next ninjutsu.
"Lightning Release: Earth Run!"
"Combination Ninjutsu: Rapid Current Lightning Fang!!"
"Bzzzt~"
"Boom!!"
A fearsome surge of lightning traveled along the high-pressure water line, instantly striking Gunko.
"Ah!!"
Hit by the lightning, Gunko's body went completely numb, and she began plummeting toward the ground, smoke rising from her form.
Witnessing this, Meiser's clone smirked coldly and gradually shifted its head, directing the combined ninjutsu to pursue the falling Gunko. Ultimately, relying on this paralyzing assault, Gunko was torn to pieces!
"Damn it..."
Gunko, her body sliced apart once again by Meiser, wore an expression of sheer fury. How many times had this happened now?
If it weren't for her undying body, she'd be dead by now!!
"Hmm?"
Noticing that Gunko remained alive despite such damage, Borsalino's eyes flickered with surprise.
He thought to himself, 'This can't just be explained by strong regenerative abilities.'
This is clearly an undying body!!
So this is the World Government's secret weapon? Trastonishing.
However, her undying body is noticeably inferior to that of the Blood-Eyed Ninja,' Borsalino mused internally.
At least the Blood-Eyed Ninja wouldn't leave an opening when regenerating.
As he pondered, Borsalino reappeared near Meiser, positioning himself to prevent any further attacks on the incapacitated Gunko.
Ignoring Borsalino, Meiser turned his gaze toward the distant cityscape.
They had been fighting for a while now, and Meiser wondered inwardly, "I wonder if those guys managed to escape..."
After a moment of thought, Meiser fixed his gaze on the most magnificent building in Mary Geoise.
"Though I don't know what that place is, it must be very important," Meiser grinned.
With that, he summoned Susanoo and condensed Eight Slopes Magatama in his hand!
"Try this move!" Meiser shouted.
As his voice fell, he hurled the Eight Slopes Magatama straight toward the distant grand building!
At that moment, a terrifying Flying Slash shot out from the city, accurately striking Meiser's Eight Slopes Magatama!
The next instant...
"BOOM!!"
A fearsome explosion lit up the sky for a brief moment!
"Hmm?"
Seeing the situation afar, Meiser immediately furrowed his brows and said, "There's another expert?"
Well... that made sense.
It would be unreasonable for a behemoth like the World Government not to have a few figures at the level of Marine Admirals.
But... that just makes it more fun!
Hahahaha!
At this thought, a smile spread across Meiser's face, and he immediately dashed toward the direction from which the Flying Slash had emerged.
He was going to confront that guy!
Watching Meiser gradually depart, Borsalino instinctively looked into the distance and muttered, "Who is it this time?"
"It's our God's Knights vice-captain, Saint Figarland Shamrock!" Gunko, lying on the ground, spoke up.
"God's Knights..."
Borsalino's eyes flickered, then he nodded to show he understood.
"Go help quickly."
Hearing this, Borsalino turned to look at Gunko and asked, "Are you alright here?"
Even with an Undying Body, her body was beaten to such a state... Was she really fine?
"I can't die," Gunko said coldly.
It hurt a lot, but she truly couldn't die.
Borsalino fell silent for a moment, then thought to himself:
Every single one of them is like a monster...
Shaking his head, Borsalino said, "Then I'm off."
With those words, he transformed into a yellow light and vanished from the spot.
After watching him leave, Gunko turned her attention to her own body and said, "Next is to restore my body—"
No sooner had she spoken than a surge of black substance emerged from her body, beginning to fill the gaps in her form!
Just then, several Shadow Clones suddenly emerged from the ground nearby, giving Gunko a mysterious smile.
Gunko: ???
"It's you!"
Seeing Meiser appear beside her, Gunko's head immediately sprouted a few question marks.
Why was this guy here?
Hadn't he gone to find Saint Rimoshifu!
"Don't get excited, we're just Clones," Meiser said with a chuckle.
These Clones had been prepared by the original before the battle, intended to handle any potential special circumstances.
And now... they were really being used!
Now, they were going to use the power of Sealing Technique to try and seal this woman with the Undying Body!
After hearing Meiser's words, Gunko showed an exasperated expression. Was that really the point?
The real question was what these guys were trying to do!
"Alright, let's move," one of the Meisers said. "The sooner we take this one over there, the sooner we can seal her away."
"Mm," the others nodded in agreement.
If the Sealing Technique could prove effective, they wouldn't need to worry about the enemy's abilities anymore.
After all... the Sealing Technique could restrain them!
"I don't know what you're planning, but you won't succeed!" Gunko shouted.
As she spoke, she activated her Devil Fruit ability, creating two arrows on her body.
"Dammit, can I only summon two right now?" Gunko thought bitterly.
With her body shattered, she couldn't utilize her full strength—this feeling was utterly humiliating!
She then launched an attack toward the several clones.
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Rampart!"
"BOOM!!"
"Thud!"
The next moment, an earthen wall materialized before the clones, forcefully blocking Gunko's arrow attack.
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
The sharp arrows embedded themselves into the Earth Flow Wall, gouging out a crater on its surface.
Fortunately for them, she failed to break through.
Subsequently, another clone initiated a ninjutsu assault.
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears!"
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
Numerous sharp rock spikes pierced Gunko's body, shattering her gradually healing form once again.
"Bastards!"
Feeling the pain surging through her body, veins bulged on Gunko's forehead. She wished she could tear these guys limb from limb.
But unfortunately... she simply couldn't do it in her current state.
"We won't give you a chance to heal," Meiser sneered.
He then employed Earth Release Technique to forcibly restrain her body, preventing any follow-up attacks.
After accomplishing this, the group used Earth Release Technique to take her away from the area.
As she was being captured, Gunko roared inwardly: 'Dammit... What do these bastards want?!'
They knew she had an Undying Body, yet they still intended to capture her?
What was the point?!
With these thoughts swirling in her mind, Gunko was taken away by Meiser.
"That damned Blood-Eyed Ninja!" Saint Nusjuro said angrily. "What was he trying to do?"
That bastard actually attempted to attack Pangaea Castle just now... Had he grown tired of living?!
The one residing at the very top was the king of this world!
"Could he know something?" Saint Saturn frowned as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Saint Warcury pondered for a moment before shaking his head. "Probably not."
"With his capabilities, if he truly knew something, he would have secretly infiltrated the vicinity to launch an attack."
"Therefore, I believe his recent assault was likely just a reckless move."
Since the Blood-Eyed Ninja could covertly infiltrate Mary Geoise to instigate riots, it indicated his methods were highly sophisticated!
Someone like that would find it too easy to approach Pangaea Castle.
"Whatever it is, we must not give him another chance to attack this place," Saint Mars stated.
Otherwise, Imu-sama might become angered—and no one could bear the consequences of that!
As if considering a certain possibility, a flicker of fear passed through Saint Mars' eyes.
"Saint Shamrock has already made his move," Saint Saturn said. "With two Marine Admiral-level combatants, they can definitely restrain the Blood-Eyed Ninja!"
If Saint Shamrock and Borsalino cooperate, they should be able to firmly suppress the Blood-Eyed Ninja!
Therefore... the opponent shouldn't have any opportunity to unleash such an attack either!
"Let's not let our guard down," Saint Warcury said. "If that bastard still intends to attack Pangaea Castle, we'll intercept the attack."
No matter what, they couldn't allow that scoundrel to disturb Lord Imu!
"Agreed!"
The other four old men nodded, approving Saint Warcury's words.
With their strength, intercepting the Blood-Eyed Ninja's attacks shouldn't be a problem.
