"Don't say that. How is it? Can you defeat Glock?" Sang looked at Geer with worry, still loading ammunition into her flintlock pistol.
Geer gave a bitter smile. She was overestimating her. She only possessed Observation Haki more than them, and her previous solo victory was entirely thanks to that Haki.
Now, she could sense Glock's movements with her Observation Haki, but her body couldn't keep up. Moreover, the opponent's strength completely crushed hers, making even defense difficult. How could she expect to win? However, victory or defeat didn't matter; the Raiden Ei was holding the rear, so she just needed to give it her all.
Geer didn't want to hide the truth from Sang's question: "No, but I will go all out."
Nicola aimed at Glock and said to Geer, "We will support you." Her close-combat ATK with Sang using knives wasn't even as high as the flintlock pistols, so they wouldn't go up and be a burden.
Glock looked at the three people before him and the six lying on the deck, laughing disdainfully: "You are truly weak. That woman named Geer, have you made up your mind? I am much stronger than these trash on your ship. Come! Become my crew member, and we will search for the 'ONE PIECE' together."
Geer really didn't know what to say. Should she mention they still had a trump card they hadn't played? She didn't want to waste words on someone who was about to die. She rushed forward immediately, swinging her sword with all her might toward Glock's neck.
Seeing that Geer hadn't agreed and was still attacking him, Glock stopped holding back. He swung the water pipe in his hand, and before Geer's sword could reach his neck, the pipe had already struck Geer's abdomen.
"Bang!" Geer, along with the sword that hadn't reached Glock, arched her body like a shrimp and was sent flying, crashing heavily against the ship's railing, shaking loose the previously repaired wooden planks. She lay motionless nearby.
Nicola and Sang were helpless. They could only aim at Glock and fire, regardless of whether they could hit him. They were both extremely panicked now.
Haisier and the others lying on the deck watched this scene unfold, tears streaming down their faces. A sense of powerlessness flooded their entire bodies. Even Geer, the strongest among them, couldn't withstand a single move against Glock.
Glock looked at the people scattered on the deck, all struggling weakly though not yet dead. This gave him an idea, and he began to laugh triumphantly: "Hahaha, how about it? Now I'll give you a chance—how about becoming my Slaves?"
The pirates hiding nearby saw that the danger was over and emerged from their cover. They walked up to Glock and immediately started flattering him: "Hehe, Captain, you are too amazing! If the Marines knew of your achievements, your bounty would surely skyrocket."
Glock was very pleased and looked at Haisier and the others: "That's right. What's your decision? Why aren't you speaking..." Before he could finish speaking, he heard footsteps approaching him.
Staring intently at the passageway leading towards the bow, a purple-haired woman walked out of the corridor, holding an ordinary long sword. Her clothing was extremely eye-catching. Upon seeing her, Glock's eyes went wide.
The Raiden Ei had been observing the entire battle. Seeing Haisier and the others being crushed by Glock's strength, she hadn't intervened, reasoning that no one would die, and it was good to give them a chance to train.
It wasn't until Geer also lost her fighting capability just now, and Nicola, Sang, and Mina clearly showed no intention of fighting Glock to the death, that she decided to step out to finish things. Otherwise, they might have been injured by Glock. She wasn't someone with twisted tastes.
Glock snapped back to reality, looking at this woman. Her aura was very strong, and not daring to be careless, he resumed his fighting stance: "Haha, another beauty has arrived. Hey, beautiful, do you want to come aboard my pirate ship as the First Mate?!"
Haisier and the others watched the Raiden Ei step from the shadows onto the stage. Seeing her now gave Haisier's heart a feeling like seeing light.
The Raiden Ei walked toward Glock slowly, speaking in her cool voice with a commanding tone: "You are already a dead man. Do you have any last wishes?"
Hearing this, Glock's body tensed up even more. He gripped the water pipe tighter, and the deck beneath his feet let out creaking sounds, as if it might break under his pressure at any moment.
"Fine, then let's see if I'm a dead man. Hahaha." He stomped down hard on the deck, causing it to crack open. Glock struck first, attacking the Raiden Ei with all his might.
In the eyes of Haisier and the others, Glock transformed into a shadow at that moment, instantly appearing beside the Raiden Ei. His speed was even faster than when he faced them.
The Raiden Ei's Observation Haki had long since perceived Glock's next move. She wrapped Armament Haki around her long sword, transforming the ordinary long sword into an indestructible treasure blade.
She took a step, but the deck remained completely undamaged. The Raiden Ei's speed far surpassed Glock's. As she swung her long sword, a flash of light appeared, and her figure brushed past Glock.
Having only taken one step, she remained expressionless, standing behind Glock with her back to him. There was no blood left on her sword. She said to his back, "I yield."
Glock hadn't even noticed the moment he brushed past the Raiden Ei; he only saw a momentary flash of white light and heavily struck the spot where she had just been standing with his water pipe.
It was then that he realized she was no longer in her original position.
The voice sounded from behind him. At this moment, he no longer cared about defense. He felt unbearable pain in his chest. Looking down, he saw a bloody red mark across his chest. This single strike had cleaved his heart and lungs in half. He was dying; he couldn't even manage to open his mouth to speak.
Glock couldn't support his body and collapsed onto the deck, blood slowly seeping from his chest.
Haisier and the others stared at the scene with wide mouths, completely shocked. At this moment, the Raiden Ei's strength was infinitely elevated in their minds; they couldn't even feel the pain from their own injuries.
The Raiden Ei looked at the last remaining pirate. That pirate felt a mountain-like pressure, swallowed hard, and immediately knelt before the Raiden Ei as he spoke: "Milady, spare me! All of this was the Captain's doing..."
The Raiden Ei didn't want to listen to such nonsense. She casually threw the sword in her hand toward the pirate, hitting him squarely and knocking him down.
Haisier finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally over.
The Raiden Ei looked at the people lying on the deck, none of whom could stand: "Sang, you and Nicola go bring over the pirates tied up under the mast. Have them move those who can't move into the cabin for treatment, and ask if they have a doctor."
Sang looked at the mess of people and felt a slight headache. Since the Raiden Ei had provided a solution, she immediately called Nicola to go: "Okay, let's go!"
Nicola's mood calmed down a bit as she followed Sang: "Understood, I can hear you."
