Bonnie looked at the pirate on the ground who had instantly turned into an old man and was no threat at all, and pouted... She may be young, but she was not weak.
Liu Jiu stood behind her, calmly watching everything unfold, as if he had expected it all along.
"Mad Bull" Bart also witnessed this bizarre scene. The arrogance on his face subsided, replaced by a hint of surprise and uncertainty: "That kid... what's going on?!"
However, the battle was not over. Bonney's unexpected move, while intimidating some pirates, also ignited Burt's ferocity.
"Stop playing tricks! Let's all attack together and kill that brat first!"
Bart brandished his serrated machete and leaped onto Guina's ship, the force of which shook the deck.
Guina's eyes turned cold, and Ziyun pointed at Bart.
"Your opponent is me."
The purple sword light rose again, colliding fiercely with Bart's serrated cleaver, sparks flying everywhere!
Chapter 150 Annihilating the Enemy [Thanks for urging me to update]
The surprise on "Mad Bull" Bart's face lasted for less than two seconds before being replaced by a deeper ferocity.
He's managed to get where he is today not only because of brute force, but also because of his ruthless and unscrupulous nature.
"What the hell are you all standing there for?!"
Bart turned and roared at the pirates on his ship who were terrified by Bonney's abilities.
"He's just a brat with some weird abilities! What's there to be afraid of? Anyone who dares to back down, I'll chop them down first!"
Before he finished speaking, he swung his serrated cleaver backward with a fierce gust of wind, which startled the pirates on his ship. Without hesitation, they charged forward again, howling.
But Bart himself did not immediately engage Kuina in a direct confrontation. A cunning glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly kicked one of his own men on the deck who had just been injured by Kuina's sword energy and was lying on the ground groaning!
"Useless! I'll give you a chance!"
The unfortunate pirate screamed as he was kicked into the air by Bart's immense strength, flying like a human cannonball straight towards Kuina's face!
This turn of events was extremely sudden and took an extremely tricky turn.
Kuina frowned slightly, and with a flick of her Purple Cloud Sword, she deftly deflected the incoming pirate, preventing him from being torn to pieces.
But her offensive faltered slightly as a result.
In that split second!
Bart's massive body unleashed a speed disproportionate to his size. He didn't charge towards Kuina, but instead, with a stomp of his foot, the deck shattered, and he charged like a bull, aiming directly at Bonnie, who had just displayed her strange abilities!
"You brat! Die!"
His large hand opened, carrying a foul stench, and was about to grab Bonnie's neck, who was caught off guard!
"Despicable!" Sabo roared, trying to intercept, but was entangled by a dozen or so other fearless pirates who charged forward.
Even if they could kill them immediately, they would have missed the best opportunity to strike.
Robin's arms surged out wildly, trying to block them, but Bart was very cunning. He immediately swung his serrated cleaver, which was covered in Armament Haki, and dissipated most of those arms!
"Bonnie!" Kuina's eyes sharpened, and she wanted to turn around to help, but she was temporarily suppressed by the dense artillery fire and bullets fired by the musketeers and snipers on the Bart ship.
Even if she could easily block it, she would still be delayed by just a few seconds.
Bonnie is about to fall into the clutches of evil!
Just as Bart's hand was about to touch Bonnie's pink neck, a calm figure, like a ghost, silently reached out and pulled Bonnie behind him, shielding her in front of him.
He didn't even make any obvious defensive or offensive stance; he just stood there.
Bart cursed inwardly, his momentum undiminished, and his domineering fist slammed into Liu Jiu's face, intending to blast this ignorant guy who was blocking his way away away as well!
The anticipated scene of bones cracking and flesh shattering did not occur.
Liu Jiu merely raised his hand slightly, the movement casual, as if he were simply brushing dust off his sleeve.
The next second, Bart's fist, which contained terrifying power, was blocked by a hand less than an inch from Liu Jiu's face!
Bart's sinister smile froze instantly, replaced by utter horror! He felt as if his punch, which had gathered all his strength, had struck the hardest seastone in the world. The recoil caused his entire arm to creak under the strain, and he was in excruciating pain!
How can this be? !
He's Bart, the "Mad Bull" with a bounty of $180 million! His brute strength is well-known even in the New World! How could he be stopped so easily by someone?!
Liu Jiu looked at him calmly, his eyes as still as a deep well, as if he had only done something insignificant.
He didn't even look at Bart's face, contorted with shock and pain, but spoke calmly, his voice not loud, yet clearly reaching the ears of everyone present:
"It seems you've chosen the fastest way to end the battle."
The moment the words fell, an invisible and intangible, yet seemingly originating from the depths of the soul, terrifying pressure swept outwards from Liu Jiu like a storm!
Overlord color and domineering!
"Om-!"
The air seemed to freeze!
Those pirates who were attacking frantically and howling incessantly, as well as the pirates on the surrounding pirate ships.
As if struck on the head by an invisible hammer, their eyes rolled back instantly, foam came out of their mouths, and they fell down in swathes like wheat being harvested, their weapons clattering to the ground!
In just a moment, apart from Bart and a few of his slightly stronger officers who barely managed to stay upright and kneel down with weak legs and pale faces, nearly a hundred fierce pirates on the three pirate ships all lost consciousness!
The sea, which had been filled with the deafening shouts of battle just moments before, was now deathly silent. Only the sound of waves crashing against the ship and Bart's heavy, fearful breathing could be heard.
Bart knelt on the deck, looking up at the man who still stood calmly before Bonnie, a tremendous fear gripping his heart. He finally understood that he hadn't kicked a steel plate, but a bottomless iceberg!
This man, who had always seemed to have no presence... was actually the most terrifying person in this group!
Kuina, Sabo, and Robin also felt that overwhelming aura, which, although not directed at them, still shocked them.
Their gazes toward Liu Jiu were filled with awe.
Finally, we've seen my uncle take action!
Bonnie hid behind Liu Jiu, clutching his clothes tightly with one hand, her mouth agape as she watched a large group of pirates fall to the ground in front of her.
Liu Jiu slowly lowered his head, his gaze finally settling on Bart for the first time.
That gaze was calm, yet carried an indifference as if looking at an ant.
Bart shuddered; the immense fear almost suffocated him.
"I...I was wrong...please...please spare my life..."
He forced out words of pleading through gritted teeth, his previous arrogance completely gone.
Liu Jiu ignored his pleas for mercy and simply nodded slightly to Guina.
Kuina understood immediately. Her eyes sharpened, and the suppressed anger instantly transformed into icy killing intent.
These foolish pirates, especially this despicable captain, are not worth keeping if they can't fight fair and square.
A flash of purple light appeared, but this time, the sword light was not the condensed crescent moon of the previous time. Instead, it transformed into several purple threads that were almost invisible to the naked eye. As if traversing space, they instantly swept past the pirate officers who were still kneeling on the ground with pale faces, as well as Bart.
"Pfft..."
Several barely audible thuds and the sound of someone falling to the ground were heard.
Those pirate officers and Burt who were still struggling under the lingering power of Conqueror's Haki froze completely, their eyes dimmed instantly, a thin line of blood appeared on their necks, and then they slumped down, silent.
Kuina's sword is fast, accurate, and ruthless. To deal with these weaklings, she doesn't even need to use powerful strikes; the speed of her sword alone is enough to kill them.
In the blink of an eye, apart from the unconscious pirates, there was not a single enemy standing on the entire battlefield.
“Sabo, Robin.” Kuina sheathed her sword, her tone returning to its usual coldness. “Throw those who are unconscious back onto their ships.”
“Understood.” Sabo grinned and cracked his knuckles. He and Robin immediately sprang into action.
Sabo possessed incredible strength, lifting one unconscious pirate in each hand as easily as throwing sandbags, and tossing them precisely back onto the three pirate ships.
Robin then activated her power, and countless arms grew out of the deck, throwing the dead pirates into the sea to feed the fish.
They also cleaned the deck.
In just a short while, their own sailboat was much cleaner.
Chapter 151 The Power of the Year-Year Fruit
After a period of intense fighting, sea voyages often involve a relatively calm, even somewhat boring, period.
For the past few days, apart from dealing with the unpredictable weather of the new world, there has been nothing else going on.
Although Bonnie still spends most of her time sticking to Liu Jiu's side, her initial shyness and wariness towards Kuina, Sabo, and Robin have gradually faded.
After all, they were the ones who took her to find her father, and they didn't seem like... bad people?
On this day, the weather was fine and the ships sailed smoothly on the sea.
Sabo's restless nature kicked in again. He moved closer to Bonnie, who was sitting on the ship's railing, swinging her legs and looking at the sea, with his signature, friendly smile on his face.
"Hey Bonnie. That ability of yours the other day was so cool! You turned that bad guy into an old man in no time! What kind of ability is that? Can you tell us about it?"
Bonnie looked up at Sabo, then subconsciously glanced at Liu Jiu, who was sitting quietly not far away. Seeing Liu Jiu nod slightly, she turned back, a sly smile appearing on her face. Instead of answering directly, she held out a hand, stating her condition:
"I can tell you, but only if... you let me touch you!"
"Touch it?"
Sabo was taken aback, but then became interested. He was naturally curious and had no ill feelings towards Bonnie, so he immediately stretched out his arm and grinned.
"Sure! Come on, touch it all you want! Let's see what tricks you can pull!"
Bonnie gently placed her small hand on Sabo's arm.
The next moment, a strange light flashed again, enveloping Sabo's entire body!
When the light faded, the spirited young Sabo was nowhere to be seen. In his place stood a tiny toddler who looked only four or five years old, with soft blond hair and wearing obviously ill-fitting clothes!
Little Sabo blinked blankly, looked down at his hands and body which were noticeably smaller, then looked up at everything around him that had suddenly become "tall." His little mouth twitched, and he exclaimed in a childish voice, "Eh?! How did I... get smaller?!"
His comical yet adorable appearance immediately made Robin, who was standing next to him, unable to hold back her laughter and cover her mouth to chuckle.
Even the usually aloof Guina had a slight smile playing on her lips.
“My turn.” Robin stepped forward gracefully, a hint of curiosity in her eyes, and offered Bonnie her hand. “Let me try it too.”
