Chapter 510: Phantasm Pauly

Conis, Mikita, Robin and Marianne walked down the cave. "I am annoyed that he got taken away," Mikita said. 

"They must have planned it," Conis added. 

"I wonder by who," Robin muttered out loud as she put her finger on her chin.

"We will save him," Marianne said as she clenched her fist. They all nodded. 

"We would need Ben`s permission," Robin remarked as she smiled. 

"Ben wont say no to his cutie," Mikita teased. Marianne pouted. They all giggled. 

"I would not worry about that," Conis said. 

"Someone knows our Captain well," Robin said. "But you are right," she added and smiled. 

As they walked down the narrow cave, it suddenly opened up. There they saw an altar with a shiny orb. There were some markings on the floor. The floor around the altar was concrete. 

"Lets keep our eyes open," Mikita said. 

As they stepped onto the concrete, the orb started to glow. Suddenly everyone got a vision of baby Honey as a baby. She was a cute baby crying. The scene changed to Honey in an orphanage. She was crawling around the floor. A kind woman picked her up and fed her. The scene changed to Honey playing a child with a ball. The scene changed to Honey running away from a wolf. The scene changed to Honey running away from a spider. Then Honey left the orphanage. The scene changed to Honey eating a strange fruit. Then the scene changed to Honey joining the Bear King Pirates. The scene changed to Honey sitting on a ship attacking another ship. She stole their goods. The scene changed to Honey relaxing in a tub thinking something was missing. The scene changed to Honey raiding Clockwork Island and taking it over. She saw Bear King talk about the King Canon. She saw a pink-haired woman in the background. The scene changed to Honey in the castle and making slaves run around. The scene changed to Honey naked meeting Ben. 

Suddenly, the orb started to glow. There was a bright light. From the bright light a figure started to form. They saw a blond man wearing a pair of orange goggles at the top of his head. He had a cigar in his mouth. His denim jacket had a flame detail. He was quite muscular, and had a yellow T-shirt underneath his denim jacket. He had a belt around his waist with a little bag attached to it, and a pair of loose trousers tucked inside his boots. "Phantasm Pauly," Phantasm Pauly remarked.

"He was the guy who we saw in Water 7," Mikita remarked. 

"He was a shipwright," Robin mentioned. She saw Rob Lucci beating him. She hated him however smiled at the thought of Ben beating him. 

Phantasm Pauly took a long rope out and started to swing it around him. "Rope Action Bowline Knot," Phantasm Pauly said as he launched a rope towards Mikita. The rope tied around Mikita's wrist. 

Mikita smiled. She increased her body weight. The ground beneath started to form cracks. Phantasm Pauly tried to pull Mikita towards him however he could not. She was too heavy. 

Conis transformed into her hybrid form. Golden feathers started to emerge from her arms and shoulders.Her skin took on a golden hue. Her mouth grew into a large yellow beak. Her ears became flatter. Her eyes turned into orbs of molten gold, glowing . The small wings on her back extended, and grew bigger. Her legs transformed into bird-like, with talons. "Sunfire Breath," Conis said as she felt her stomach get warmer. She let the heat build up. It travelled up her body and into her mouth. She held it for a second and then opened her mouth and released a streak of flames towards Phantasm Pauly. The flames were hot as they started to melt the ground and burnt the rope. The flames hit Phantasm Pauly who went flying back due to the sheer force. His clothes were burnt and his skin got darker. 

Marianne aimed her Yellow Gun in the dim light. She pulled the trigger, unleashing a dice-shaped bullet that streaked through the air with a sharp whistle. The projectile detonated upon impact, erupting into a powerful explosion that sent a fiery shockwave rippling through the surroundings. Phantasm Pauly's eyes widened as he recognized the imminent danger. With a quick reflexive leap, he narrowly avoided the center of the blast. However, the shockwave caught him mid-air, sending him tumbling back. He landed heavily, sliding across the ground as residual flames licked at his coat.

Mikita jumped in the air. "Gravity Stomp," Mikita said as she increased her weight dramatically, making herself as heavy as a boulder. She went down towards Phantasm Pauly. Mikita`s foot connected with his back. The immense weight behind the kick created a shockwave that travelled through his body. They thought they heard the sound of a bone breaking. 

"That has to hurt," Conis remarked. 

"He is probably two men now," Robin commented. 

Phantasm Pauly flung a rope toward the nearby wall. The rope coiled tightly around the edge of a pillar as it anchored itself firmly. With a sharp tug, he launched himself forward, soaring through the air and getting away from Mikita's reach. 

"Not so fast," Robin said calmly as she crossed her arms. "Once Fleur," she added as eleven arms materialized around Phantasm Pauly, sprouting from his limbs and torso. The arms gripped him firmly, halting his momentum mid-air. "Slam," Robin said. 

The hands slammed him into the ground with tremendous force. The impact created a loud thud. Phantasm Pauly groaned and spat blood out. 

"Sunfire Dive," Conis said as her body ignited with intense flames. She soared into the air like a comet, leaving a fiery trail behind her, before plunging toward the ground at breakneck speed.

As she collided with the earth, the impact unleashed a massive explosion, the flames erupting outward like a volcanic eruption. The heat radiated intensely, and the ground beneath cracked from the force. Phantasm Pauly was caught in the heart of the inferno, the explosion engulfing him completely as he staggered, visibly scorched and weakened.

"It is hot," Marianne remarked. 

Robin smiled. She knew there was no danger of the cave collapsing. 

Mikita planted her foot firmly. "Storm Leg," she said. Her leg sliced through the air with incredible force. The rapid kick generated a sharp, compressed blade of wind that streaked toward Phantasm Pauly. The wind blade struck him squarely, cutting through with devastating power. Phantasm Pauly let out a distorted cry and collapsed. Phantasm Pauly levitated from the ground. His body spun around and turned into light and went back into the orb.

"He went down quickly," Marianne remarked. 

"We burnt him, broke his bones, and cut him," Robin said. 

The orb started to shake as it also levitated and turned into a light and went into the air. The momentum which held the orb threw several dozen gold necklaces. 

Mikita walked over and picked them up. "These are pretty and expensive," she remarked. 

"Lets keep them," Conis said. 

"They are nice necklaces for marriage," Robin said.
