Bang bang bang!
Those Thunderbirds crashed into it, exploding with slashes of lightning, carving dense gaps into the nearby rock walls.
Bartolomeo breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the fingers intertwined in his hand.
"It can change shape?"
Lily glanced at him, her movements not delayed. After a sword swing, she immediately changed direction, slashing straight at Sabo in front of her.
Her original purpose was to make that barrier disappear!
Kuma!
The flames burst forth, spreading from White Thunder's sword, sweeping forward.
Lily stepped back, her sword blade flashing as she once again slashed out a net of lightning, separating the flames. But a thread of flame transformed into Sabo's form at Lily's side, his intact right arm covered in flames, not targeting Lily, but punching toward the cargo behind her.
"I'll return this tactic to you!"
After all, he was the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army, not a simple-minded individual.
During the confrontation, he also saw that this Great Pirate valued the cargo here, using small-scale techniques. Though they were powerful, a serious attack from a true powerhouse, even the residual waves, could destroy many things.
Dealing with this cargo, he didn't believe she wouldn't turn around to stop him!
"Didn't I say, who do you think I am?"
Lily didn't even look at Sabo, stepping forward and transforming into a stream of light, heading straight for those nearing the top.
She cared about the cargo.
But she knew Sabo's intentions better.
In times like this, being cautious at the expense of opportunity is the bane of tactics!
"The Disaster Pirates are not threatened by anything!"
What I care about is the cargo, what you care about...
are people!
"Damn it!"
Sweat dripped down Sabo's face, and his lower half erupted in flames as he quickly followed.
Poof!
Lily's airborne body suddenly turned, her agile frame hanging down, the thrusting White Thunder turning directly at the incoming Sabo, piercing his abdomen with one sword strike.
Sabo grunted, his body erupted in flames at that moment, scattering from the sword blade, quickly condensing again in mid-air. Using the flames to accelerate, he suddenly rushed toward the cave entrance, unleashing a Fire Fist that slammed into Lily, the column of fire surging beneath Koala and the others.
Boom!
The surging impact sent the people who had reached the top flying outward from the cave entrance.
"In this case, you can't use them to your advantage..."
Ignoring the blood flowing from his abdomen, he was about to laugh, but then he suddenly froze.
A sense of crisis pricked his consciousness, causing cold sweat to pour!
He didn't even have time to retract his attack stance, subconsciously looking down.
Lily, who should have been hit by the Fire Fist, landed on the ground unharmed, White Thunder sheathed, knees slightly bent, taking an Iaido stance.
Crackle!
The sword sheath was even wrapped in electric light, within the lingering Haki, there was a faint hint of green...
"In battle, tactics are also a form of strategy. You've been tricked!"
Swish!!
Lily, eyes glowing with a scarlet glint, moved like lightning, as if transforming into a slash, soaring from bottom to top, charging straight into the sky.
Too late to dodge!
Sabo bit down hard, his swung fist immediately transforming into a Dragon Claw, covered in Haki all the way to his arm.
"Flaming Dragon Claw Fist: Flame Dragon King!!"
The swirling flames, imbued with formidable Haki, surged straight down.
Yet the Thunderbolt, seemingly charging in a straight line, abruptly shifted direction in mid-air, breaking through those swirling flames and deflecting to Sabo's right side.
Even if he had time to react, the wound in his abdomen slowed his movements slightly.
Moreover, he couldn't react in time!
The Thunderbolt rose from his feet and reached his shoulder.
"Nothing cannot be cut!"
Hiss!!!
