Cherreads

Chapter 56 - Chapter 56: Six Forms

As Raiden Ei stopped the ship, a magnificent three-masted sailing ship immediately followed, and a voice that made her nauseous came from the bow.

"Caught her, caught her! Hurry up and grab her for me! I want her to be my 43rd wife!"

At the bow of the three-masted ship, a lecherous man wearing a fishbowl-like helmet was staring intently at Raiden Ei below, while ordering the five CP agents of different builds, all wearing matching white suits, beside him.

The five men immediately bent down and responded without hesitation: "Yes, Saint Chesterton."

A tall and thin man leaped up from the deck as if stepping on air, rapidly treading on the air towards the single-masted sailboat below.

Raiden Ei took out her demon blade from the system backpack. She was very cautious about this confrontation. She knew the power of the Celestial Dragons; they could summon an Admiral at any moment.

Putting aside those thoughts, her Observation Haki suddenly sensed someone rapidly approaching from the air: "They're here. That's Geppo. If so, perhaps I can learn the Six Powers here." As soon as her voice fell, a tall, thin man in a white suit landed on the deck of the dream ship.

The first reaction of the suited man upon arrival was not to directly capture her as the Celestial Dragon commanded, but to greet Raiden Ei politely: "Hello! Miss, my name is Shidoga."

Raiden Ei did not let down her guard, looking at this CP agent. She didn't believe the Celestial Dragons would do anything good.

Seeing Raiden Ei remain silent, the suited man had no choice but to continue speaking: "Saint Chesterton wants you to be his 43rd wife. This is your honor. Please do not resist and come with me to meet..."

Before the suited man, Shidoga, could finish speaking, Raiden Ei attacked. It wasn't for any other reason than not wanting to hear those shameless remarks anymore.

A slash shot out extremely fast towards Shidoga's body. Since the distance between them was not far, Shidoga had no time to react. Fortunately, his Observation Haki gave him an urgent warning, and he instantly stomped his feet repeatedly on the deck, using Soru to flash to the side.

But it was still a bit too slow. By the time he used Soru, the slash was upon him, slicing his arm off at the shoulder as easily as cutting tofu.

"Ah!" Losing his arm caused Shidoga intense pain, but he remained rational enough not to shout loudly. Enduring the pain, he looked towards Raiden Ei, while the four other CPs on the three-masted ship also noticed the change in Shidoga's situation.

A white-suited man of medium build among the four said: "Shido, something happened. Naoki, Uesugi, you two go help him and settle this as quickly as possible."

A stout man and a short, woman-like man nodded to their captain, then both flew towards the single-masted sailboat using Geppo. However, the short man's Geppo speed was more than double that of the stout man, instantly creating a significant distance between them.

Meanwhile, the Celestial Dragon, Saint Chesterton, standing at the bow of his ship, became furious when he saw they hadn't brought his 43rd wife back yet: "Are you all useless? It's been so long and you still haven't brought the person back. What's the use of having you?"

The captain of this CP team quickly replied: "Saint Chesterton, the person has been caught, she is just on the way. Please wait a moment longer."

Saint Chesterton acted like a spoiled child. Hearing that he would see his 43rd wife soon, he immediately stopped throwing a tantrum: "Hurry up, hurry up! I want my 43rd wife!"

On Raiden Ei's side, seeing that her slash only cut off one of Shidoga's arms, she felt it was troublesome. These CPs likely all possessed Haki and were proficient in the Six Powers. Without using her Elemental Power, it would take a while to defeat them.

She, who had been constantly using Observation Haki since the beginning, sensed two more figures flying through the air in her perception, one of which was extremely fast. She turned her head, and a short man in a white suit appeared in her sight. He reached the deck in just a few breaths.

Raiden Ei had been paying attention to the Six Powers they used and had somewhat figured out their methods for using Geppo and Soru, combined with the introductions to the Six Powers she had seen before her transmigration.

However, she currently lacked the time to practice, making it impossible to utilize this knowledge in the current battle. She could only record everything in her mind for now and study it after this fight was over.

The short man: "Oh ho, Shido, you are too careless! To lose an arm in the East Blue."

Shidoga breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the short man, but the severed arm was too painful, causing his face to contort slightly: "Uesugi, don't underestimate this woman. You saw it, she can use Flying Slash."

Uesugi's expression also became serious: "A Swordmaster? A Swordmaster in the East Blue? I thought only the Grand Line provided the conditions for becoming a Swordmaster in other seas."

At this moment, the stout man, Naoki, also arrived on the deck. The three exchanged glances, then turned to face Raiden Ei. Naoki loudly questioned her: "Hey! Woman, do you know we are an organization of the World Government? If you resist the World Government, you will be wanted."

Raiden Ei let out a scornful light laugh: "Wanted? Is this the World Government?"

The three of them could tell this was provoking the World Government, which was absolutely intolerable.

Shidoga covered his continuously bleeding severed arm with his hand: "I can only provide support now. Please end the fight quickly."

Naoki and Uesugi: "Don't worry! We have no opponents in the East Blue, even if she is a Swordmaster."

"Are you done talking? Then it's my turn to act." Raiden Ei spoke, sweeping her demon blade horizontally. A Flying Slash shot towards the three of them as she walked towards them.

Naoki stepped past the other two, blocking the incoming slash, and shouted: "Armament Haki Hardening, Iron Body: Hard!" His body rapidly turned as hard as iron.

The slash struck Naoki's body directly. With a "clang," as if hitting something hard, the slash was instantly shattered by Naoki's body.

Raiden Ei couldn't help but think upon seeing this: A normal slash can't break through Armament Haki defense?

Naoki and the other two were relieved to see this. A Swordmaster's Flying Slash was nothing special; it couldn't even break through Armament Haki.

Raiden Ei did not stop her advance at this point. One slash was not enough; she had to kill them all. Her demon blade emitted a faint scarlet glow, truly looking like a demon blade that seals life upon drawing blood.

Uesugi raised his hand, pointed in the direction Raiden Ei was coming from, and rapidly flicked his index finger: "Finger Pistol!" An air bullet shot towards Raiden Ei extremely fast.
