Curtain Call

"Biscuit soldiers!"

Before Cracker could finish speaking, a strange change had already occurred. Countless biscuits and fragments flew in the air, looking like a sudden rain of biscuits in the sky.

Then, as if suddenly, the biscuits and fragments began to gather and fuse. Soon, five biscuit soldiers that looked exactly like Cracker had appeared between the two of them.

"Vlad, I will ask you one last time,"

Cracker slowly exhaled and decided to give his brother one last chance. "Are you willing to go back with me and accept Mom's trial?"

"If you are afraid, it doesn't matter. Whether it is me or the other brothers, they will plead for you!"

Vlad felt warm in his heart, but he still had to do what he had to do. He had already decided to go out to sea, so he would not change his mind just because of this.

"Brother Cracker, I have already said the same thing to brother Katakuri. I am chasing the free and vast sea, the location of One Piece. You want me to go back and be bound by that crazy woman? That is absolutely impossible!"

"From the day I decided to go out to sea, I have already decided that I can only die in battle, I will never yield!"

"Trial? No one in the world can judge me! No one, it is a very funny thing to judge people!"

"Is that so?"

Cracker took a deep breath. "It seems that you are determined to betray us! Then, don't blame me. Vlad, I am not as kind as Katakuri. I will break your limbs and bring you back!"

"Give it a try!" Vlad chuckled.

"Then take it!"

As soon as Cracker's voice fell, five burly biscuit soldiers pounced towards Vlad at a terrifying speed.

These biscuit soldiers were not to be trifled with. Although the materials were biscuits, their actual combat strength was far beyond everyone's imagination.

Five years later, Monkey D. Luffy had to open the fourth gear to barely break the biscuit soldiers. It could be seen that their toughness was not something ordinary people could do. One had to know that Luffy could beat the man called Doflamingo into the sky.

Even though biscuits soldiers who were separated from their bodies could use Busoshoku Haku and their hardness could not be compared to their original bodies, they were still undoubtedly strong. Even in this new world, there were only a few people who could break these soldiers.

However, for Vlad, these powerful biscuit soldiers were not that powerful. It did not mean that his destructive power had already surpassed Luffy's Gear 4. To be honest, the destructive power of Gear 4 was extremely terrifying. To be able to let Luffy and Charlotte - Lingling fight, such a thing was not something that anyone could do.

Vlad thought that he would probably have to completely transform into a dragon to have the ability to fight against Gear 4. Monkey D. Luffy was indeed a genius. The rubber fruit that was not very good had made him play with flowers. This point was similar to Don Quixote Doflamingo. The fruit that was not very strong was also developed to a terrifying level.

If it was someone else who wanted to deal with these biscuit soldiers, they would probably be exhausted, but it was not that difficult for Vlad. After all, those biscuit soldiers could not use Haki.

"Brother Cracker, what a pity!"

Golden flames began to appear on Vlad's body. "My ability is your biggest weakness!"

"Boom!"

The flames surged out like a huge wave of flames on the surface of a sea of flames, instantly engulfing the surroundings.

"Flames? What's the use of this?"

Cracker was very disdainful. The only weakness of his biscuits was water. Only water could make his biscuits soft. Although the flames were powerful, they were definitely not the bane of his biscuits.

After all, his biscuits were not easy to burn, and it was even more impossible to melt the biscuits of Cracker.

However, what happened next far exceeded his expectations. Vlad Flame was not an ordinary flame. He soon realized this. After all, ignoring the flames around him, the flames that burned wantonly on the rocks were not normal.

Sure enough, these flames could not only spread on the rocks. Reality proved that his biscuits were also objects that could be burned by flames.

The five tall and sturdy biscuit soldiers were quickly wrapped up by the surging flames. The hard biscuits were wrapped in terrifying golden flames and quickly began to disintegrate bit by bit, melting bit by bit.

Before they could reach Vlad, the five indestructible biscuit soldiers had already been burned to ashes.

Cracker's face was gloomy. Although Vlad could not see his appearance through the biscuit armor, he did not know if his face was gloomy or not. However, Vlad estimated that his mood at this time was definitely not very beautiful.

"Amazing, Vlad!"

"Is this what you rely on?"

Cracker's tone was very low. After all, as an elder brother, he had made a big speech in front of his younger brother and was directly slapped in the face. This kind of feeling was really shameful.

"Not all,"

Vlad smiled. "But your biscuit soldiers are definitely easy for me to deal with Brother Cracker!"

The flames raged. This small island had been completely covered by the spreading flames. There were only two places that were not covered in flames. One was the place where Vlad's maid, Baby-5, was lying. After all, Vlad was here to save her, not to kill her.

The other was naturally around Cracker. The biscuit armor clad in haki was not something Vlad's flames could attach.

Even so, Cracker, who was hiding in the face of the biscuit soldiers, felt a strong heat. Besides the characteristic of burning everything, the high temperature was also not to be underestimated. Although it was far from the level where the bald guy next door evaporated the world, it was still good two or three thousand degrees.

"Do you think you can beat me?"

Cracker said.

"Of course not, Brother Cracker,"

Vlad smiled. "Your ability is just a tool. The truly powerful are you yourself! I haven't underestimated you at all."

This was not a joke. Even if Cracker did not have abilities, his own strength was not to be underestimated. He was a man who could cut through the arms of Luffy on his Gear 4 with a single strike. This was something that even Doflamingo could not do.

"But Brother Cracker, I have achieved my goal!"

Vlad gently picked up the maid who had fallen to her feet and smiled. "Since the goal has been achieved, there is naturally no need to continue fighting."

"Brother Cracker, let's wait until I attack the All-Nations to decide our outcome!"

Vlad gently flapped his wings and soared into the sky. He did not hesitate to fly away.

"Vlad..."

Cracker stayed where he was and shouted.

"Huh?" Vlad stopped.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Cracker's voice sounded again.

"Don't die!" Cracker said in a deep voice, "Our battle is not over yet."

"Wahaha!" Vlad did not say anything and flew away with a laugh.

"You've grown up, you little rascal."

Not long after, the people who passed by this area of the sea discovered that the island had disappeared.
