Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gunfire rang out continuously, almost trying to blow Grimm into pieces. Saisu quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, adjusted his suit and tie, and said, "Hold on to your last breath. I want to interrogate him."
All the Navy soldiers, at such close range, could perfectly aim and attack Grimm's limbs.
Less than five seconds later, Grimm's limbs were riddled with bullet holes, and he collapsed onto the ground in a heap of rotten flesh.
Blood was flowing—this was not from a Natural-type ability user.
Seeing the fresh blood left by Grimm's body, Saisu finally let out a last breath of relief. Although the opponent still looked alive, continuing to fight in this state was clearly impossible.
Unless this guy's body could heal itself in a short time—which was impossible. Saisu believed himself to be experienced, but he knew that the opponent was not a "Phoenix" type Zoan Devil Fruit user.
"Alright, little brother, how does it feel to be shot? Now, honestly answer my questions!" Saisu jumped down from the ship's railing.
Suddenly, Grimm stood up sharply. The wounds on his body flashed with holy light and healed instantly. At the same time, the Holy Light Cross sword aura howled. Saisu, quick enough to react, dodged the sword aura.
But Grimm's attack was not limited to just this Vice-Admiral. He casually inserted the Ashbringer into the deck, and the holy light quickly spread out beneath his feet. Countless golden long swords emerged from this holy light and shot toward the soldiers.
"Ahhh!"
Faced with the[Justice Sword]attack, Saisu couldn't help but scream in agony, jumping and dodging or firing his gun to block.
Grimm drew his greatsword, and many Navy soldiers fell beneath the Justice Sword.
"Don't come any closer, or I'll really be rude to you," Saisu shouted, drawing his sword from his waist.
Grimm looked at the cowardly Vice-Admiral, then jumped onto him directly. The Ashbringer continued to attack.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Ashbringer and the Vice-Admiral's sword clashed repeatedly.
Feeling the immense power on the Ashbringer, Saisu thought his own sword was like plastic. If he didn't take action soon, his sword would probably break.
Hastily, he covered his weapon with Armament Haki, barely blocking Grimm's assault.
"Will I heal? Kid, don't be arrogant. I'll blow your head off right now!" Saisu said, fighting Grimm with one hand while encouraging himself.
"Do you know my nickname at Marine Headquarters? They call me 'The Golden Middle Finger,' a single middle finger that covers the world." Saisu feigned a fake attack, pulling away from Grimm, then shouted loudly and rushed forward!
"Finger Gun Ultimate Technique—Golden Middle Finger!"
Puff!
Grimm's head was pierced by Saisu. Even Saisu couldn't believe how easily he succeeded.
In the eyes of Saisu and other Navy soldiers, Grimm slowly fell backward, bloodily pierced through his left eye.
"Vice-Admiral… success…"
The surviving soldiers began shouting, as if they had survived another dangerous day.
"Hey!"
Suddenly, a First-Class Soldier Captain ordered his subordinate nearby, "Go check if he's dead!"
That Third-Class Soldier, upon hearing this, was instantly frightened. He looked at his captain in shock, only to receive a disdainful look. "I told you to go. Someone with a pierced head—what are you afraid of? Can he get up and kill you?"
"I… I…"
As the saying goes, higher-ranking soldiers intimidate lower ones. Moreover, the other side was two ranks higher than him. The most important thing was—why was the Vice-Admiral also looking at him?
The Third-Class Soldier felt panic rising—he thought he was done for. But he could only accept his bad luck, walk over to the fallen Grimm, and comfort himself: "Even with half my brain gone, I probably won't survive. Besides, I've been shot, bleeding—probably not a Natural-type ability."
Under Saisu's intense focus, hundreds of soldiers watched him slowly kneel beside Grimm, preparing to check his heartbeat.
The Third-Class Soldier's finger pressed on Grimm's chest, stayed for three seconds, then raised his head and reported to Saisu: "Vice-Admiral, he… he has no heartbeat anymore!"
"Phew…"
Even Saisu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although the success seemed a bit strange, it was confirmed that the guy in front of him was dead. His "Golden Middle Finger" was indeed impressive.
Suddenly, a golden light shot through the sky, covering Grimm's body. Saisu, who had just turned to look away, immediately refocused—he saw that the soldier kneeling on the ground was grabbed by Grimm's hand around his neck, and then that soldier's body was turned into ashes by holy light.
"Not bad. Die once, and I get a resurrection coin!" Grimm laughed word by word.
"Fire! Fire!" Saisu was truly frightened now, shouting at the top of his lungs.
The other soldiers reacted quickly, raising their guns and firing. They didn't care about leaving any alive—they just wanted to kill first.
Now, these bullets weren't aimed at just injuring Grimm; they aimed to destroy him completely, hitting any part of his body.
Seconds later, Grimm's body flashed with golden light again and was restored to its original state.
"Damn, what a monster!"
Saisu gritted his teeth, drew his sword, and although he was afraid of dying, he knew he had to stand firm. As a Vice-Admiral, he must not retreat at this moment.
"Answer the phone, contact the headquarters, and tell them—the intruder is Grimm, Pirate Hunter Grimm. Spread this message! Quickly!" Saisu unleashed a storm of swordsmanship attacks on Grimm while also issuing commands to his subordinates. He suddenly remembered—he knew exactly who this guy was.
"This won't do. This matter cannot be let your people know at the headquarters!" Grimm shook his head. Facing the sword aura attack, he let it hit him and then destroyed the Den Den Mushi.
"Grimm!"
Saisu roared. At the moment he was about to destroy another Den Den Mushi, he seized the opportunity and cut off Grimm's left arm. Surprisingly, instead of falling to the ground, that arm turned into countless golden lights and reconnected to Grimm's shoulder.
Meanwhile, Grimm took the opportunity to swing his right hand, and the Ashbringer cut off half of Saisu's left leg.
"Ahhh!"
Saisu lost his balance, fell to the ground, and the other Navy soldiers anxiously watched him.
"Who cares about me? Quickly send the message back to the headquarters and report the enemy's identity!" Saisu roared.
Since Grimm didn't want anyone to know he had infiltrated the headquarters, there must be some hidden purpose behind it.
In that case, even if he couldn't capture Grimm, the headquarters had to know the truth.
"Enough, I said I won't!"
As he spoke, Grimm's body suddenly emitted a golden light, shooting out like arrows. These lights searched for every person on the ship.
[Divine Wrath]: Automatically tracks five enemies within 25 to 1000 meters, firing divine arrows. If the arrows don't kill the target, they cause the target to enter a dazed state for 5 seconds. The stronger the opponent, the shorter the dazed duration; weaker opponents stay dazed longer.
Swish!
These arrows didn't attack anyone directly; instead, they shot down the Den Den Mushis hidden in the soldiers' clothes one by one.
