Debt To Pay

The body of the alien remained standing still as if nothing had happened but it then began to show the most subtle of lines that appeared on the neck and head.

Each line seemed to be extremely thin as each of them started spilling out blood and then sliding out of place before falling apart.

Three clean cuts were all it took from one claw attack to complete the kill but what had allowed that to happen was the future sight Observation Haki that had let Bunbun see a glimpse into the future where she failed.

She was able to take action very quickly and correct her mistake before it could even be made.

Perhaps she may have still won if she did get captured as she had seen but Bunbun did not want to gamble on such an outcome.

She wanted a clear victory that was determined by totally outclassing her opponent in every way.

They had boasted about their psychic abilities so she did not feel like she could fully test herself and define herself using brute force methods alone.

Only her Observation Haki was what would let her test herself the most against such an opponent and it had proven to be especially useful at the time when she most needed to be able to utilize it.

The body fell to the ground causing the slashed parts of the head and neck to fall apart and spread more blood into a pool beneath it.

Bunbun turned away before heading toward where she sensed some other members of the Camo Pirates. "Time to finish this up. The tough guys should all be dealt with by now."

After the three main powerhouses of the Camo Pirates were defeated, the rest quickly followed since they had lost their main support.

They had already lost a lot of their main advantages earlier in the battle and a lot of the functions of their ships and weapons had been disabled.

They did try to fight back and rally together but it all seemed to be pointless in the end.

When they charged toward Ripley to defeat her, they seemed like tiny flies in comparison to her giant size and all that seemed to happen was that they were being swatted before they could even cause a tiny scratch on her body.

When they tried to focus on Medea, they could not attack her physical body and do damage to her.

What made it worse for them was that every attempt put them at risk of being stunned the moment that they came into contact with her.

What made it all that much worse was how fast she moved around the battlefield using swift and precise swordsmanship to dispatch many within a short time.

Anyone who had met Bunbun was unable to keep up with her movements before they were taken down.

Even those with special abilities like the three powerhouses of the Camo Pirates had struggled to hold on for longer than five seconds before they were brought down.

There were a couple of others that had tried to wander around the ship to get to the captives and the weapons storage room but their fates were not so good either.

Many invisible traps were put into place one after another and the moment that they were stepped by, they were triggered causing those who tried to pass by to be incapacitated or killed.

Even as Ashwin was studying the new technology in front of his eyes, he did not forget to set traps all over to allow him the freedom to do so.

He had already figured out how the vision of the race of aliens that he fought worked so he made good use of that information.

They seemed to be able to detect something that was only in living beings but they could not do the same for certain objects.

Either it was a form of thermal vision or something else but he already confirmed that they could not pick up on the energy signatures in the weapons he used after he had made them invisible.

The captives were soon freed as some among them put up a fight against those that remained.

Among them was a pink-haired Dalmatian girl who was wearing a blindfold over her eyes.

Neo Stella had been freed and she quickly joined the fight to support her captain and inspire the others to fight back.

She was inside of what looked like a mech which came out from within one of the spaceships.

Unlike how many of the things on board had been left unable to work, that one seemed to be perfectly fine.

Neo Stella was highly capable of having her position and her talents did not just lie in piloting or managing the others in her group.

She was highly capable of making repairs to various advanced technologies, including issues that appeared on spaceships, mechs, and more.

Her mech had taken many lives of the Camo Pirates before finally coming to a halt and the hatch opened up revealing herself. "Captain. Thanks for saving us but who are these strangers?"

Ripley sighed as she overlooked the battlefield before her purple eyes. "I just met them but it seems that I owe them a great debt. The Ripper Mercenaries remember to pay back our debts and grudges.

Finally, we have settled our greatest grudge yet gained a debt in return. It had been so long that we have been chasing the Camo Pirates trail yet they always evaded us or caused us further harm. It is finally over."

Her voice trembled the closer she got to finishing her words.
