CHAPTER 133
Looking at Harry, whose body had expanded to a full thirteen meters long, Vilin felt a slight headache coming on.
As expected from the Iron Wall Pirates, known for being an impenetrable fortress — each of their executives was extremely tough to deal with.
But Harry had the misfortune of running into Vilin.
Forest Giant Soldier!
With the activation of his Devil Fruit ability, Vilin's body immediately began to swell.
His body continued expanding until it reached over twenty meters tall before stopping.
Facing the giant python in front of him, Vilin controlled countless arms sprouting from his back and crushed them toward Harry.
Seeing Vilin unleash such a ferocious assault, Harry's massive snake pupils contracted. He twisted his head and immediately tried to flee.
"Trying to run?"
"Stay down!"
Seeing Harry attempting to escape, Vilin's gaze turned razor-sharp.
With a casual wave of his hand, thick vines burst from the ground, coiling toward Harry and binding his body tightly in place.
No matter how hard Harry struggled, he couldn't break free from the net Vilin had woven around him.
As Harry thrashed violently, the ground beneath him shattered from the force of his tail whipping.
Kramer, cautiously observing the battlefield, saw Harry completely restrained by Vilin. His earlier hesitation about fleeing vanished instantly. Without taking anyone with him, he bolted straight toward the port.
Seeing someone trying to escape, Vilin immediately sent a thick vine chasing after him.
Seeing Vilin trying to stop him, Kramer snorted coldly and shattered the incoming vine with a single punch.
After blocking Vilin's attack, Kramer fled without looking back — he had to deliver this news to the Iron Wall Pirates.
Seeing the opponent escape, Vilin didn't pursue further. Instead, he focused all his attention on Harry.
Watching Harry still struggling fiercely, golden rays of light gathered from the sun in Vilin's hand, condensing into a massive sword radiating golden brilliance.
Elbaf Spear – Mighty Nation!
With a single swing of the sword, a thick golden shockwave blasted straight toward Harry's body.
The piercing power of the Mighty Nation sword energy instantly penetrated Harry's hard outer scales, blasting a circular blood hole through his body.
After taking such a ferocious attack from Vilin, Harry felt excruciating pain throughout his body and couldn't help letting out sharp, agonized howls.
Looking at Harry's miserable state, no sympathy appeared on Vilin's face.
In a pirate world ruled by pirates, weakness was a sin.
In the turbulent New World, this was even truer.
The weak could only cling to the strong — otherwise, they could only await destruction.
After all, not everyone could be Monkey D. Luffy with such an overwhelmingly powerful background supporting them.
Seeing the opponent enter a weakened state, Vilin immediately controlled the vines to begin absorbing his life force.
As his life energy drained away, Harry gradually lost the ability to maintain his beast form.
After draining more than half of the opponent's life energy, Vilin finally stopped and tossed him toward Elria.
"Take him back to the Flying Bird!"
After giving instructions to Elria, Vilin charged toward where Franco was.
He was ready to end this battle completely.
When Vilin arrived at the battlefield where Euros and Franco were, he saw Euros spinning at high speed.
Franco was trapped in the center, constantly battered by the incoming massive rocks.
At this point, the scales on his body had been shattered by the rocks, blood constantly flowing from his wounds. He looked utterly miserable.
Seeing Franco on the verge of losing consciousness from the beating, Vilin quickly shouted toward Euros:
"Euros, that's enough!"
Hearing his father's call, Euros finally breathed a sigh of relief. Launching such a massive hurricane had taken a heavy toll on him.
Soon Euros shrank back down and flew toward Vilin, panting slightly as he rested on Vilin's shoulder, looking at him expectantly.
Seeing this appearance, Vilin couldn't help chuckling and rubbed his "head" in praise.
"Well done!"
"Euros!"
Hearing Vilin's praise, Euros immediately fell into a silly, happy grin.
Seeing him like this, Vilin felt somewhat helpless.
He walked toward the struggling Franco, kicked him on the head to knock him unconscious, then pierced a vine into his body.
Soon Franco's figure shriveled up.
After absorbing about half of the opponent's life energy, Vilin lifted him and headed back toward the Aitrias Pirates crew.
After dealing with everything here, Vilin and his group also set off on the return journey.
On the Flying Bird, Vilin thought for a moment and directly picked up the Den Den Mushi to call Rocks.
Bru bru bru~
Soon the Den Den Mushi in front of Vilin rang.
"Hahahahaha!" "I didn't expect Vilin to actually call me!" "What's up?"
Hearing Rocks' arrogant laughter coming from the Den Den Mushi's mouth, the corner of Vilin's eye twitched slightly.
He stared at the Den Den Mushi's eyes, his expression instantly turning serious.
As Vilin's expression changed, on Beehive Island, the expression on the Den Den Mushi in Rocks' hand also became serious.
Seeing Vilin's serious face, Rocks also stopped laughing and looked solemnly at the Den Den Mushi in his hand.
"Captain Rocks!"
"The Iron Wall Pirates probably can't hold back anymore!"
"Just now, executives from the Iron Wall Pirates ambushed me!"
"But I captured two of them!"
Hearing Vilin's words, Rocks fell into silence as he pondered the other party's intentions.
But thinking about how the other side had lost two executives, plus the fact that his own side's strength had long since changed dramatically — most importantly, after obtaining the Dark-Dark Fruit, he had spent two years training and reached a decent level in Conqueror's Haki entanglement.
Moreover, he was already in his thirties. He had to speed up his unification of the New World.
Thinking of this, Rocks also began to feel restless.
On the Flying Bird, just as Vilin was starting to feel a bit bored waiting, Rocks' voice finally came through the Den Den Mushi.
"It's about time we got moving too!"
"You stay stationed in the Cake Island sea area for now!" "Wait for my signal!"
As the call ended, Vilin understood what he meant, and he couldn't help feeling excited.
Now that he had begun to grasp some techniques of Conqueror's Haki entanglement, he also hoped to fight stronger enemies to absorb their experience.
One month later, Steel Island.
After a month of travel, Kramer finally returned to Steel Island and met with their captain, Blite.
In the grand hall at the top of the central iron tower on Steel Island, Blite saw Kramer returning alone, and his brows immediately furrowed tightly. He suddenly had a very bad feeling.
