Rob Lucci glanced at Bruno, who was hovering in the air, and asked, "Is everything alright?"
Bruno, sporting his distinctive horn-shaped hairstyle, nodded confidently. "No problem. I can just use Geppo to avoid the Seastone."
Enel was instantly dumbfounded.
"That's not fair! Why don't you fight me with Seastone if you're so tough?!"
Noir observed the CP9 members thoughtfully. It seemed that, at this point in time, apart from Bruno, Lucci and the others hadn't yet consumed Devil Fruits.
With a smile, Noir taunted CP9, "Are you all really that afraid of my abilities?"
Kalifa, dressed in a tight black suit that accentuated her long, white legs encased in fishnet stockings, replied, "Without Rokushiki and the ability to turn into your element, you're as good as dead."
Noir didn't bother explaining the system's truth. He turned to Wyper and Enel and said, "You two take one each. I'll deal with the tough ones first."
Wyper, supporting Enel, looked over at Bruno and said, "I'll take on the guy bouncing around in the air."
Enel, feeling bitter, glanced at the two of them. "What am I supposed to do, then?"
Wyper patted the god's shoulder with a grin. "You handle the woman. Don't lose!"
You’ve got to be kidding me...
In Enel's mind, he should have arrogantly lifted his head and instantly fried these Matrix-wannabes with lightning.
But unfortunately, with his Devil Fruit powers suppressed, Enel's physical abilities, though decent, paled in comparison to CP9, who had mastered Rokushiki.Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com
Bruno and Kalifa exchanged a glance and then began advancing on their respective targets.
Enel drew his gold staff, using it as a crutch to lift himself up.
Bruno sneered, "Fighting with a crutch? Are you joking?"
"Kalifa got lucky facing the weakest one!"
The weakest... The weakest?!
Enel’s pride flared. He, the god who had only been bested by Noir, was now being mocked by mere mortals as the weakest?
Noir might have defeated him, but that didn't mean he could be insulted by these nobodies!
Summoning unexpected strength, Enel used his staff to push himself up and suddenly lunged at Bruno.
Wyper was stunned.
"Seriously? Can you just switch opponents like that?"
As Enel leaped into the air, the moment his feet left the Seastone, his lost power surged back.
"That move, huh?" Noir raised an eyebrow. This should be easy.
Devil Blade easily broke through Kaku's Tekkai defense, sending a spray of blood into the air as Kaku collapsed in pain.
"Kaku?!" Lucci shouted in shock as he watched Noir’s cold smile. A sense of dread settled over him.
If Noir was a beast, then compared to him, Lucci was nothing more than an insect!
Even with the Seastone's restraints, Noir’s strength was still overwhelming.
And his swordsmanship... why was it so formidable? Kaku couldn't even withstand a single blow.
Lucci's expression finally changed. Kaku lay there, his condition uncertain...
Kalifa was gradually losing ground, and Bruno was still struggling to secure a victory.
They couldn’t afford to drag this out any longer. Even the prodigy of CP9, Rob Lucci, couldn’t defeat someone of Noir’s caliber.
Lucci stepped back, creating some distance, and ordered, "Stop wasting time! Grab Kaku and retreat!"
Kalifa immediately followed his command, pulling back, while Bruno reluctantly released Enel.
He was so close to taking down that frail man!
Bruno quickly opened a door in the air and created another beneath Kaku, pulling him into the dimensional space.
But Noir quickly caught onto his intentions. He kicked Bruno in the head just as he emerged, sending him flying back.
However, Bruno managed to push Kaku into the portal before being thrown back. Lucci grabbed Kalifa, and they jumped through after him.
"You think you can escape?" Noir pointed Devil Blade at the vanishing portal, sending a powerful slash of sword energy after them.
Bruno’s eyes widened in terror as he shoved the others through the portal, taking the full brunt of the slash himself.
Blood splattered as Bruno fell to the ground, mortally wounded, while the portal slowly closed.
Bruno was left behind, lying on the ground, barely clinging to life.
Looking down at Bruno, who was struggling to breathe, Noir asked, "Was it worth it, protecting them?"
...
There was no response. The only sound was Bruno's labored breathing and the occasional cough of blood.
Noir sighed. "Well, killing one is still something. I don't feel like chasing them."
Bruno’s lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in Noir's perception, his life force was slowly fading away...
