Grimm leapt into the air, and the Storm Leg sliced his body in half, yet he maintained his fighting stance. Compared to the Finger Gun, Grimm's swordsmanship was even faster.
Swish!
The Ashbringer swung down with "Judgment of the Holy Knight," clashing with the Finger Gun!
The two weapons collided and held for about half a second. Grimm's Ashbringer pressed down, severing the finger of his opponent. But the Finger Gun man dodged swiftly, jumping back quickly, leaving a bloody scar on his chest from the Ashbringer.
"May the Holy Light redeem you!"
Grimm chuckled softly, but his Ashbringer did not stop.
Swish!
The Ashes Awakening!
A sword aura howled out, and the Finger Gun man watched in horror as a golden sword aura cut his body in half from the middle. He knew he was done for.
At that moment, the leader's hand knife suddenly pierced through Grimm's back from behind, stabbing into his brain.
"Got him!"
Roger's smile remained unchanged.
"Can he still resurrect this time?" Shanks asked nervously.
Roger shook his head. "No, he's not dead-looking, but at the end of our fight that day, I felt he was avoiding something! Maybe he only dies after hitting his head a certain number of times."
If Grimm heard Roger's words, he would definitely be startled. Gotta admit, Roger's Observation Haki is too powerful.
Grimm's body suddenly collapsed to the ground!
At this moment, the leader said, "Using one person's life as a sacrifice, is the mission accomplished…? This is a major casualty CP0 hasn't seen in a long time!"
He then pulled his hand knife out of Grimm's head. In the next moment, grabbing Grimm's arm, he said, "His head is blown apart, but he's still breathing. Use nutrient fluid to keep him alive for now. I'll do my best to let him arrive at the Marine HQ alive, so we can report to Vegapunk and the government!"
"Hey, hey, this really looks like the end, Captain!" Seeing this scene, Shanks was no longer calm. He imagined that last time Grimm was also shot in the head multiple times by the captain—why did he die this time?
Roger said nothing, activating his Observation Haki again, then grinned: "Yes, indeed. Those CP0 bastards are finished!"
At that moment, Grimm suddenly raised his arm, and the Ashbringer swung toward the leader's head.
"How is that possible?" That was the last thought of the leader's chest being pierced. Grimm's lower half, which had been on the ground, suddenly turned into countless photons that reconnected to his upper body, while Grimm's hand gripped the almost suffocatingly weak leader's neck.
A blinding, all-encompassing Holy Light descended, enveloping Grimm and the leader. The clothes, flesh, and bones on the leader's body turned to ash like peeling an onion, while Grimm's head wound instantly healed.
"Great Holy Light, grant me new life!" Grimm roared, standing up completely unscathed.
He was fully restored.
Looking at the six-meter-tall CP0, Grimm kicked the remaining bones of the leader. "Alright, scum, let's continue playing!"
What the hell is this monster? How am I supposed to fight?
Although CP0 has always dealt with a bunch of lawless monsters, such freaks shouldn't even exist in this world.
Bodies cut apart, heads blown up, hearts crushed!
And they still don't die? Or do they resurrect?
None of that matters. The key point is, they're acting like nothing happened.
No wonder the government ordered to capture alive. Not capturing? Come on, try killing this guy and see!
Even though this CP0 is used to seeing the big picture, he still took a step back.
"What's wrong? Just losing two companions and you want to retreat?" Grimm slowly approached. Every step he took, the opponent couldn't help but step back.
Can't fight!
Suddenly, this CP0 agent felt his body freeze—his consciousness wavered. The [Judgment Hammer] had already taken effect. In that instant, Grimm's Judgment Hammer smashed into his face, breaking his mask.
Swish!
A sword cut into his thigh. The six-meter-tall body, without Grimm jumping, could only be cut here.
The CP0 agent staggered, kneeling on one knee.
Grimm grabbed his massive face, exerting great force, blood spurting from the face as he squeezed. "Now, if you beg for mercy, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Holy Light descended from the sky, activating the "Purify" skill.
"Ah… Aaaaaah!"
The last CP0 agent was devoured by the Holy Light, emitting a miserable scream. His huge body, like his commander, turned into a pile of bones and debris.
In an instant, countless images flashed through Grimm's mind.
"That's fine. According to Vegapunk's analysis, leaving him in the sea is a disaster. Better to let the government deal with him early!" In this memory of CP0, he was facing a few old men in black suits.
"The previous batch of monsters fought Roger and achieved quite some results, proving it's worth a try. But the reports I received show that the best outcome is to capture him alive. CP7 lost a bunch of people last time, and they're definitely related to him. This time, with CP0 involved, it should be a sure thing!"
Another old man with brown-yellow hair, dressed in black suit, said.
"Deploying three CP0 members at once is extremely rare in the history of the government!"
A man in kimono, wearing round glasses, holding a katana, added, "Success only, no failure!"
...
The thoughts spun rapidly. Grimm suddenly opened his eyes, laughing out loud: "Haha, so that's it. They want to use me for experiments!"
From the memories gained through Purify, he now fully understood the cause and effect of this matter, and also why CP0 came after him.
Could it be the legendary Five Elders? And Vegapunk, mentioned in the conversation—I also have a deep impression of him.
The man with technology said to be five hundred years ahead of the world.
Grimm suddenly remembered the method of creating Sea Ladders he wanted to find. If it's Vegapunk… then…
"Alright, that's decided!"
Grimm silently thought, then headed toward the east coast. "Roger and Shanks, how is it? Enjoying the show? Want some sunflower seeds?"
A flash of movement appeared before him—Roger suddenly appeared, scratching the back of his head with a shameless grin: "Haha, there's really nothing much to see. But… Grimm, you'll be wanted soon!"
"Can you help me pass on something?" Grimm suddenly said.
"Huh?" Roger hesitated slightly, beginning to listen.
...
On the north coast of Water City, Plank and the "Mice" vice-admiral were still fighting.
But when they saw the leader of CP0, dressed in a bloodstained white suit, walking over waving to everyone, Plank and Mice immediately stopped fighting and all looked toward the big-headed guy.
Plank quickly recognized Grimm's disguise through Grimm's gestures, thinking: Leader? What is he trying to do?
Meanwhile, the other government agents saw their chief looking badly hurt and were so frightened their hearts nearly jumped out. But trained professionals, they quickly saluted: "Chief! Chief! Are you okay?"
