Back, left side, right side, overhead—
In Leopard Girl's eyes at this moment, the burly A Dong was full of openings and blind spots from head to toe.
Her figure continuously circled A Dong like a golden storm, completely enveloping him.
"Void Rending Claw!"
"Sharp Claw · Rondo!"
"Hunting Chokehold!"
Countless claw strikes targeted A Dong's body, arms, neck, and more, leaving no blind spot untouched.
Each strike contained the power to tear through metal and stone, and was fast enough to be suffocating.
"Eight Impact Fist · Round Wall!"
"Eight Impact Fist · Round Wall!"
Facing Leopard Girl who had suddenly entered "Berserk Mode," A Dong was completely bewildered.
How had this damned woman's strength suddenly increased so much?
In their previous battles, both had been at Rear Admiral level. Although Leopard Girl had held a slight advantage, it hadn't been overwhelming.
At the same level, one excelled in extreme speed while the other specialized in defense.
Back and forth, it had been difficult to determine a clear winner.
Otherwise, A Dong wouldn't have lasted this long without being defeated.
Who could have expected this cheetah woman would suddenly become like she was on drugs, her power instantly surging?
This world did have some secret medicines that could temporarily boost one's strength dramatically, but A Dong had only heard rumors about them.
For instance, he'd heard that in Fish-Man Island ten thousand meters underwater, there existed a secret drug capable of such effects.
Legends said consuming this drug could multiply one's combat power severalfold for a short time.
But it was also said to come with significant side effects.
Of course, these were just stories he'd heard—he'd never witnessed it firsthand.
Sorry to say, their Chinjao Pirates had never visited Fish-Man Island.
Too afraid of dying—what a waste it would be to perish in such deep waters.
These were Chinjao's exact words; they needed to play it safe, as the New World was too terrifying.
Even knowing Fish-Man Island truly existed, Chinjao had never considered going.
Otherwise, when they previously encountered a little mermaid, their entire pirate crew and even all of Kano Country wouldn't have gone so crazy.
But back to the point—aside from such miraculous secret medicines, A Dong had never heard of any technique that could instantly boost someone's power this dramatically.
Even Life Return couldn't achieve this—he'd seen it before.
The current situation no longer allowed A Dong to continue pondering.
Facing Leopard Girl's fierce assault, A Dong relied on years of rigorous Eight Impact Fist training and solid Armament Haki to desperately hold on.
He continuously executed the defensive moves of Eight Impact Fist, creating an impenetrable defense.
The relentless "thump, thump, thump" of impacts made him resemble an ancient bell being constantly struck.
Though not yet broken, each block sent shocks through his body, making his blood churn while the ground beneath his feet continuously cracked.
Dark blood repeatedly welled up from deep in his throat, which he forced himself to swallow through sheer willpower.
But how long could such a precarious defense last?
While it had been sustainable against Leopard Girl's normal level, the current Leopard Girl was completely different.
Seeing her numerous claw strikes being blocked, Leopard Girl remained unfazed.
Leopard Girl's icy voice rang out: "If you only defend, you'll die."
"Leopard King Secret Skill · Infinite Hunting Ground!"
"Roar~"
A leopard's roar carrying immense pressure swept across the battlefield, bearing down on A Dong and causing his already low morale to plummet further.
Gulp, gulp, gulp~
Leopard Girl opened her mouth and quickly drank all the milk given by Cow Girl, restoring her stamina to full and rapidly healing her minor injuries.
Brian's Armament Haki immediately underwent changes, flowing like water.
It converged toward Leopard Girl's left and right claws, as well as her lower body.
Leopard Girl's body operated like a pump pushed to its limits, blood continuously surging toward her heart.
Already extremely fast, Leopard Girl's speed now ascended to another level.
This extreme speed directly surpassed the maximum achievable at Rear Admiral level, reaching Vice Admiral standards.
Of course, only her speed reached this level, and even that was barely achieved through Brian's Armament Haki.
The next moment, her figure began ultra-high-speed continuous movement around A Dong, creating numerous afterimages.
Whoosh~
Whoosh~
Whoosh~
Countless claw strikes from all directions immediately launched attacks against A Dong, making defense impossible.
At this moment, A Dong seemed to be simultaneously besieged by countless leopards, trapped within an inescapable encirclement.
"Roar! Eight Impact Fist Secret Skill · Immovable as a Mountain!"
A massive shield appeared around A Dong's body, emitting copious amounts of white steam tinged with blood.
A Dong began squeezing every ounce of his strength and every bit of his Haki to withstand Leopard Girl's frenzied assault.
But unfortunately, Leopard Girl's current power had completely surpassed his, becoming something he could no longer resist.
Crack~
Crack~
Numerous cracking sounds emerged as fissures rapidly spread across the giant shield, covering more than half its surface in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this situation, Leopard Girl increased her speed even further, pushing harder.
Crack~
Boom~
Finally, under the relentless onslaught, the shield completely shattered.
A Dong's large body was sent flying through the air the next instant. As he soared upward, countless claw strikes followed closely behind.
"Argh!"
One claw shadow pierced through A Dong's defenses, brutally tearing open his chest as blood sprayed out.
Then came the second, the third—
His protective Haki was completely shredded, excruciating pain sweeping through his entire body.
A Dong's body fluttered through the air like a ragged cloth.
"It's over."
The cold voice sounded again.
Leopard Girl's true form had somehow broken through his final defenses, appearing before the heavily wounded A Dong.
Her claws coated in pitch-black Haki, sharp as the finest daggers, precisely and mercilessly pierced through A Dong's heart.
Squelch~
The next second, Leopard Girl withdrew her claw from his chest, holding a still-beating heart in her hand.
Squelch~
Leopard Girl clenched her fist heavily, the heart bursting like a balloon, splattering blood everywhere—even onto A Dong's face.
A Dong's body stiffened violently.
He looked down at the leopard claw embedded in his chest, then raised his eyes to meet Leopard Girl's cold golden pupils close before him.
His mouth opened as if trying to speak, but only blood gushed forth.
"Chinjao—leader—father—"
He murmured these words, the light in his eyes rapidly fading away.
Leopard Girl expressionlessly withdrew her claws, letting A Dong's burly body crash to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
She shook the blood off her hands, her golden figure once again merging with the wind as she rushed toward where Bat Girl and Cat Girl were.
The battlefield fell completely silent.
Only the thick, suffocating scent of blood and the corpses strewn everywhere proved that a brief yet fierce struggle had taken place here.
With this, both arms of the Chinjao Pirates had been thoroughly dealt with.
From top to bottom, only Chinjao himself remained, struggling desperately to hold on.
In the sky, Chinjao clearly sensed that his son and subordinates had been completely annihilated.
