252. Crushed

Devil fruit awakening?!

The CP chief and the rest had ugly expressions.

Boom! Boom!

Volleys of shots were being fired at the world government ships. The fleet returned fire. Some of the marines were injured. However none of panicked, they moved the injured to the back and continued to fire.

The loud sound of canon brought the chiefs back to their sense.

Devil fruit awakening represented not just an increase in power, but an overall improvement in offense and defense.

"Spread out and run!"

One of the CP chief's yelled. His body flickered as he rushed out of the island.

However, just as he reached the edge of the island a huge figure flashed infront of him. A sense of oppression overwhelmed the chief.

Damn!

Tekkai!

Armed!

He used his strongest defence and crossed his arms across his chest.

Puff!

His strongest defence did nothing as a large fist fell on his arms and crushed it like paper. His arms caved into his chest along with the large fist.

He spewed out a mouthful of blood and looked at his bloodied chest in horror.

"Im...possible...

Dali grinned. He clenched his fist.

Boom!

A shock wave spread from his fist and blasted a large hole in the man's chest.

The last bit of life in the CP chief's eyes dimmed. He fell down with a thud. For a moment the battlefield turned silent.

Dali looked at the other shocked agents and revealed a smile. His transformed lion head along with the row of sharp teeth made his smile extremely cruel.

"I am not as talented these two, so I requested sir to make me these knuckles. It took sir a month of work to make sure it reached a certain grade."

Everyone unconsciously looked at Dali's fist. Those knuckles lines with short spikes were drenched in blood.

Puff!

It was at this moment a vice chief's head bloomed into a bunch of red mist.

"Haha, this is a battlefield, focus man."

Dali grinned and rushed at the fleeing CP chief.

Issho and Mace strode forward. Their surroundings rippled.

Issho's opponents could barely move. The CP chief looked on as Issho slowly walked to his side.

Looking at the blade slashing towards his direction he wanted to dodge. However his body felt as if it was weighted down by a mountain.

Thud!

His head slid down his neck and fell with a thud. The mask he wore fell off showing a middle aged man's face. He had an expression that showed unwillingness.

Issho walked to the other chief.

"World Government has ruled for centuries. It can't be shaken by a bunch of people. I'll die today, but you'll follow me soon."

Knowing his death was certain the CP chief said his final words.

Issho stopped his sword for a second.

"You and your World Government don't understand the terror of that man."

Slice.

His sword fell. The CP chief had his head sliced off.

Issho flicked his sword and put it back into the sheath slowly.

The ground rippled. Purple rays enveloped the area and swallowed everyone within.

When the rays disappeared the remaining CP agents were crushed into a mess and buried in the ground.

On the other side.

Mace slashed with his large sword. Flames followed his sword, making a trail in the air.

A CP chief tried to block it but his busoshoku haki was burnt through by the flames. Even his blood started to boil.

Damn! What kind of flames are these?!

Before he could think Mace flickered before him and slashed.

The CP chief wanted to put up a defence but suddenly flames erupted from the ground and swallowed him.

Mace's sword slashed through the flames, drawing blood. When the flames scattered the CP chief fell down with a large wound on his chest.

Flames burned on his chest. In a split second the chief's body was burned inside out.

The other chief had an ugly expression on his face. He wanted to run but a pair of eyes were looking over the battlefield. The moment he show his back, he would die.

"Where are you looking?"

Suddenly a sweet voice rang near his ear. The chief's body shuddered and turned stiff. He was about to flicker away when he felt a slight sting on his neck.

A strange power seeped into his body through his neck and turned his body immobile. He started losing his strength and his vision.

He could feel as his life slipped by.

He didn't have to turn around to know who this was. Blood seeped out from his eyes and mouth as he joined the other agents dead on the ground.

Shinobu glanced over at Dali's side and saw him brutally smash a vice chiefs head into a bloody mess.

"Ma'am, the battle on the island is finished."

Issho walked to her and saluted before reporting.

Shinobu nodded, "How many casualties?"

"14 injured, no deaths."

That's good.

Shinobu was relieved to hear that no one died.

She looked over the horizon and found most of the ships sunk or captured.

A large fleet docked near the island and a few people jumped off. They walked to Shinobu and slightly bowed.

"Greetings, ma'am."

The tall man with the beak mask on his face said. The other two men and the woman also greeted Shinobu.

Returning their greetings Shinobu asked, "The area is completely blocked?"

The tall man nodded, "Yes, ma'am. Atleast for a few days no one will know what happened here."

"That's good."

The mink among the four asked, "Ma'am, how do you want to handle the prisoners?"

Shinobu pointed to a certain direction and said, "There is a holding in that direction. It should be able to contain fifty people. Kill the rest."

The four of them nodded. This was war, and their enemy the World Government. There was no room for mercy.

The woman with an open coat showing a large part of her bare chest asked, "Ma'am, if I may, when will sir return?"

Hearing her question Shinobu thought for a second and replied.

"It's been days since left, so I am guessing he should return in a few days. Don't worry, he'll be here on time."
