CHAPTER 152
With the ground shaking beneath their feet, Vilin and Linlin soon arrived underground.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Linlin immediately felt extremely surprised.
In front of her now stood a gigantic plant. Its branches were hanging upside down with hundreds of constantly struggling pirates — the sight was extraordinarily spectacular.
As time passed, the number of pirates continued to increase.
Looking at so many delicious souls, Linlin's sexy lips couldn't help but curve into a happy smile.
"Mamama!" "Soul Deprivation!"
Under the effect of her Devil Fruit ability, streaks of purple fields quickly spread out from Linlin's body, enveloping all the pirates present.
With waves of miserable screams ringing out, their souls were all dragged out by Linlin.
Under the burning of soul fire, these mottled souls were quickly refined into the purest soul nourishment.
Looking at the soul light ball in Linlin's hand, the mouths of Zeus, Prometheus, and Napoleon all couldn't help but drool as they looked at Linlin with anticipation.
Outside, seeing injured pirates constantly being dragged underground by tough vines, panic appeared on everyone's faces.
They were afraid they would be the next target.
Thinking it was very likely Vilin doing this, the Iron Wall Pirates crew immediately became flustered.
Because this also meant their vice-captain Gu Lei had probably already been defeated by the opponent.
This caused doubt to appear in their eyes toward Blite for the first time.
Could they really defeat the Rocks Pirates?
As the Iron Wall Pirates fell into disadvantage, their minds began to waver, already thinking about their own escape routes.
Seeing Klas in front of him actually lose focus during their battle, anger appeared on Wang Zhi's face. He seized the moment and slashed a deep, bone-visible wound across Klas's body with one sword.
"Distracted in the middle of a fight!"
"I advise you to just surrender!" "That way you still have a chance to join the Rocks Pirates!"
Hearing Wang Zhi's words, Klas endured the pain from his chest and angrily rejected Wang Zhi's kindness.
"Hmph!" "Making me surrender is absolutely impossible!" "I will never betray Captain Blite."
Seeing his attitude so firm, a trace of regret flashed in Wang Zhi's eyes. He still greatly admired Klas's swordsmanship.
"Then die!"
Seeing Klas refuse to submit, Wang Zhi's eyes instantly turned ice-cold, and his attacks became even fiercer than before.
With Wang Zhi no longer holding back, Klas quickly fell into a perilous situation.
With the slightest carelessness, he would be cut in half by Wang Zhi's sword.
Baruk, who was fighting against Gloriosa, saw the Iron Wall Pirates' situation collapsing. His mind immediately became active.
Soon he stopped attacking and looked at Gloriosa with an awkward expression.
"Ahem~" "May I join the Rocks Pirates?"
Seeing Baruk wanting to join the Rocks Pirates, Gloriosa immediately rolled her eyes.
But seeing that he intended to surrender, she also felt relieved in her heart.
Because Baruk, who possessed the Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Ancient Zoan – Tyrannosaurus Rex Model, was truly too difficult to deal with.
Her attacks couldn't break through his defense at all.
However, Baruk also couldn't defeat her.
The two could only mutually exhaust each other's stamina until one side was depleted.
"Mmm, you can." "But first you have to offer a token of surrender."
Hearing Gloriosa's words, joy exploded in Baruk's eyes.
He scanned the battlefield and quickly locked his gaze on Pick, who was fighting John.
Quietly approaching from behind, Baruk saw Pick being repelled by John. Taking advantage of the opening, he extended a dragon claw covered in pitch-black scales and pierced through Pick's back, crushing his heart in one claw.
Seeing such a bizarre scene, even John was a bit confused.
Soon he realized something and looked at Baruk with a playful expression.
"Baruk, why?" "Aren't we good brothers?"
Seeing Pick glaring at him with rage, Baruk showed no guilt in his eyes. He looked indifferently at Pick in front of him and said in a low voice:
"I need to borrow your head for a moment."
Hearing Baruk's words, Pick seemed to realize something and looked at him in pain.
"You actually betrayed the Iron Wall Pirates!" "Aren't you afraid of Captain Blite's revenge?"
Hearing Pick's gritted-teeth words, Baruk looked at him like he was an idiot.
"Pick, open your eyes and look at the current situation." "Do you think Blite still has a chance?"
Seeing Pick glaring at him with resentment, Baruk lost any intention of continuing the conversation.
"We are pirates, Pick!" "It seems you've really been corrupted by a comfortable life!"
After killing Pick, Baruk immediately crossed his arms and watched the battle between Rocks and Blite.
Seeing him defect, Gloriosa and John also stopped bothering him and walked toward their own crew to rest.
After all, not everyone could still be lively after seven consecutive days of fighting.
At the center of the battlefield, Blite, while fighting Rocks and Newgate, had been constantly paying attention to the situation on the battlefield.
But soon he discovered that the Iron Wall Pirates had fallen into a complete disadvantage.
Even the auras of Gu Lei and Coleman had completely disappeared.
This gave him a very bad feeling.
After clashing head-on with Blite once, Rocks also noticed the change in the opponent's mood.
Looking at Blite's gloomy face, his own mood became increasingly cheerful instead.
Because he discovered that the Iron Wall Pirates were showing signs of collapse.
As long as he killed Blite, there would be no force in the New World capable of threatening the Rocks Pirates anymore.
Thinking of this, he immediately let out unrestrained laughter.
"Hahahahaha!" "Blite, I advise you to surrender." "You no longer have any chance."
While entangled with Blite, Rocks used words to provoke Blite's emotions, hoping to make him lose his reason.
"Gurararara!" "Your crew has already started collapsing. If you don't want to die, surrender early!"
Seeing Rocks using provocation, Whitebeard also laughed along.
Hearing the two's grating words, Blite felt rage attacking his heart.
Seeing the situation was hopeless, Blite immediately began frantically squeezing out his own potential.
