Chapter 198: Instant Kill
“You won’t drink a toast but you’ll drink a penalty drink!”
Seeing the opponent’s attitude, Oven no longer held back, swinging his fist toward Sister Aoxi.
“Hot-Wind Fist!”
This time he held nothing back, and the fist emitting astonishing heat waves arrived in front of the three in an instant.
“Sister Aoxi, be careful!”*2
“Relax~”
Sister Aoxi looked at the steadily approaching fist with a relaxed expression, even taking the time to call out the move name.
“【clock up】”
In the instant the last syllable fell, Oven’s attack suddenly halted, while Sister Aoxi’s figure appeared behind him at some point.
“【clock over】”
Boom!
Oven’s tall figure crashed to the ground, and the scorching heat on his arm subsided at the same time.
Instant kill!
Everything seemed so abrupt; no one saw how Sister Aoxi moved behind Oven or how she struck. The originally continuous scene seemed like a frame had been removed.
“Huh? Wh-what happened?”
“Sister Aoxi?”
The two little ones clearly hadn’t recovered from the shock of Sister Aoxi suddenly vanishing from in front of them.
……
“Damn it! That guy’s speed got even faster!”
“Co-completely couldn’t see it! What about you, Vista?”
“I couldn’t either. This time my Observation Haki didn’t sense even a trace.”
“Th-then are we still going to get revenge?”
“Yes! Of course! That guy started insulting Old Man’s name!”
Not far away, the Whitebeard Pirates group looked gravely toward Sister Aoxi’s direction, debating when to make their move.
……
“Gah!”
On a dirt slope hundreds of meters from the plaza, Morgans suddenly shouted.
“What is it, Morgans?”
“How’s the situation on site?”
“Yeah! What did you see?”
A group of Underworld bosses were crouching low, hiding behind the dirt slope, looking up at Morgans who was observing the outside situation.
“Beasts…”
“Beasts?”*5
“Beasts Pirates entered! It’s that red-haired little girl.”
“She instant-killed Oven with one strike!”
“Ah?!”*5
Defeated Oven? And with just one strike!
That little girl?
You know, Oven’s combat power ranks high in the entire Big Mom Pirate Crew!
No one expected that the three seemingly harmless little girls from Beasts Pirates would make such a shocking impact when they acted.
“Yah hahaha! Well done!”
“The more chaotic the fight, the better! Roger, Big Mom, Beasts Pirates…”
“And Whitebeard and Golden Lion’s people—why are they just watching! Why aren’t they making a move!”
“I want to see a New World free-for-all!”
“I want to see the ultimate big news!”
“Hey! Morgans, snap out of it!”
The other Underworld bosses tensed up upon hearing this; they didn’t want any chaos in the New World.
Sure, the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish, but this was a damn tsunami!
Who’d be in the mood to fish in such a calamity?!
……
“Whoa~ What a terrifying young… no, still just a kid.”
In Big Mom’s encirclement, Rayleigh breathed a sigh of relief seeing Shanks and Buggy rescued.
If the fight continued like this, Big Mom’s powerful physique plus their side’s hesitation might really require Roger and others to bail him out.
But now they owed Beasts Pirates a favor…
……
“That’s… Beasts Pirates’ brat.”
Big Mom clearly noticed the situation with Oven too, and seeing it was Sister Aoxi who acted, her face grew even darker.
Of all things, it had to be this brat whose ability counters hers. Was the opponent’s action on her own or under Kaido’s orders…
Truth be told, she really didn’t want to fall out with Beasts Pirates at a time like this.
There were still many enemies on this sea she couldn’t face alone—Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Roger…
Big Mom Pirate Crew needed allies, one with strength matching her own.
“Kaido…”
While Big Mom was still hesitating, someone else made their move.
“Rub rub~”
“Come out, Genie!”
Oven’s older brother, Charlotte Family’s third son Charlotte Daifuku stepped forward and began rubbing his belt.
He ate the Smoke-Smoke Fruit and is a Genie man who can summon a genie-like entity from his belt by rubbing.
The deep blue-skinned Genie coalesced from steam, holding a strangely shaped halberd weapon, and flew straight toward Sister Aoxi.
“You dare attack my younger brother!”
“Die! Red-haired brat!”
The massive Genie quickly floated above Sister Aoxi, then swung down its long halberd with full force.
“Genie Hunt!”
“Oh~ Aladdin genie? You guys’ abilities are really bizarre.”
Just as Sister Aoxi wanted to test this thing’s quality…
Bang!
Clang!!!
With a gunshot, the Genie’s long halberd was knocked away.
“Hm? Obei, what are you doing?”
Releasing her fist, Sister Aoxi looked toward the direction of the gunshot and saw Obei walking over leisurely.
“You’re the one—why butt into someone else’s business for no reason?”
Lowering her Heavenly Fire, Obei asked expressionlessly.
“Eh↑”
“How can you call it ‘someone else’? These two are my new subordinates.”
Sister Aoxi placed her hands on the two little ones’ heads, acting like Big Sister.
“And don’t forget, we promised to make two custom pistols for Little Red Nose.”
“As Promise Superman, how can I go back on my word?”
Ignoring Buggy’s outburst of “Who’re you calling Red Nose!”, Obei continued coldly:
“If the client dies, the promise doesn’t need fulfilling—that’s even more convenient, right?”
“Besides, we’re not selling accident insurance; we don’t have to go out of our way to protect the client’s safety.”
Hearing Obei’s icy statement with no tone variation, the two little ones shrank back.
“Eh~ Don’t be so cold~”
“Look, Sister La didn’t stop me either… My action got tacit approval.”
Sister Aoxi leaned close to Obei and whispered.
“Hm?”
Obei’s tone changed slightly this time.
She really didn’t know about this—did Sister Aoxi and the others form some little group behind her back?
Was she being excluded?
No way?
She really had spent too much time in the laboratory lately.
『Looks like after this, she needed to make time to get out and about more… Just wait until the Heavenly Fire project ends.』
『No, wait until the whole 【Key of God】 major project ends… By the way, the custom metal side has made some progress lately; better wait a bit more…』
While Obei was pondering when to give herself a break, the Genie had already picked up its long halberd again and swung heavily down at Obei once more.
“Genie Slash!”
Click~
The gun body of Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment in Obei’s hand suddenly unfolded, revealing the half-energy barrel inside.
“【Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment】 Hand Cannon Mode.”
Boom!
A blinding energy torrent blasted out directly, piercing the deep blue Genie before it could react.
“Ah!”
In the distance, Daifuku, who controlled the Genie, suddenly clutched his stomach in pain and half-kneeled on the ground.
United as one with the Genie, he suffered the same damage.
“Eh? So it’s the shared health bar setup~”
“I thought it was just a simple summon.”
Sister Aoxi looked at the Genie clutching its stomach too, a mischievous smile on her face.
“Obei, blast him one more time!”
“Regretfully, can’t do it.”
Obei shook her head at the overloaded, scrapped Heavenly Fire in her hand. As Version 1.0, though it could use Hand Cannon Mode, raw materials limitations still applied.
Like now—full-power shot once and it was completely scrapped.
……
“Another instant kill?!”
Snatching the telescope from Morgans, Field looked at the scene in shock too.
“That blue-haired brat… I recall she’s in charge of weapon R&D at Beasts Heavy Industry.”
“That thing in her hand—isn’t it Beasts Pirates’ next weapon to promote?”
A weapon that instant-kills a Big Mom Pirate Crew executive—if this hit the market, he didn’t dare imagine the consequences.
『By then, even Navy and World Government guys would probably sit still no longer…』
Of course, forget Navy and World Government for now—someone was already restless.
“Mother!”*n
Not far away, Big Mom Pirate Crew suddenly erupted in chaos, followed by a massive boom.
Whoosh—
Boom!!!
Like a meteor crashing down, a huge figure suddenly smashed in front of Sister Aoxi and the others, shaking the island beneath their feet nonstop.
In the smoke and dust, the over-eight-meter-tall black shadow’s eyes flashed red, raising its fist in anger and smashing down fiercely at the crowd below!
Seeing her two sons successively defeated, Whole Cake Island’s queen, Big Mom Charlotte Linlin finally made up her mind and acted against Beasts Pirates!
