Chapter 16 Smoothie Is Defeated! The Queen Of Soul Is Out!

"What just happened?"

"Did Captain Garros really kill the opponent with one strike?"

The crew and officers of the Blood Sail Pirates rubbed their eyes in disbelief, staring at Carlos standing back on the deck.

Did Snag, the pirate with a bounty of 600 million beli, just get killed by their captain?

If they hadn't witnessed it themselves, they would never believe something so outrageous!

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the deck erupted in cheers, the sound reaching the skies.

Vice-Captain Yorick stood with his mouth wide open, struggling to put his shock into words.

As a swordsman himself, he could feel the immense power behind Carlos's strike.

"Is this... is this the strength of a great swordsman?"

"So this is his true power? He's unbelievably strong..."

Meanwhile, the atmosphere on the BIGMOM Pirates' ships grew grim.

"Lady Smoothie, S-Snag... he's..."

"He's dead..."

Upon hearing the report from her subordinate, Smoothie froze, her expression darkening.

"Damn you, reckless fool!"

Despite her anger, she couldn't have imagined that Snag would be killed with just one blow.

Even she couldn't accomplish such a feat. Unless... she used that...

"Such incredible Armament Haki... Even Katakuri-niisan might not be this strong. He might even rival Mother..."

"Garros? I've really underestimated you."

Smoothie's eyes narrowed as she stared at the figure on the other side, a flicker of fear in her gaze.

"Lady Smoothie, what should we do now? Should we request backup?"

Smoothie was about to pull out the transponder snail when she paused to think.

Their opponent was just a newcomer who had recently entered the New World.

They had dispatched two generals and had overwhelming military strength.

If they couldn't handle this even with such an advantage and had to ask for reinforcements, it would be too humiliating to bear.

If word of this got out, it would undoubtedly deal a huge blow to the BIGMOM Pirates' reputation!

With this in mind, Smoothie took a deep breath and pulled out a delicate glass.

Amidst the surprised glances of her crew, she reached out and grabbed the nearest person.

"No! Spare me!"

Ignoring his pleas, Smoothie twisted the person in her hands like wringing out a wet cloth.

Drops of an unknown liquid dripped into the glass.

Five, ten...

Smoothie raised the glass filled with the liquid and drank it in one gulp.

"Juice Giant!"

In the next moment, her aura surged, and both her body and weapons began to grow larger.

…

This strange transformation immediately caught the attention of everyone on the Blood Sail Pirates' ships.

Vice-Captain Yorick turned pale and muttered:

"She's a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user who can squeeze the water out of people's bodies to strengthen herself and unleash devastating attacks."

"What a terrifying monster..."

Under the influence of the fruit's power, Smoothie, who was originally over four meters tall, grew to the size of a giant along with her weapons.

Even though they were more than two hundred meters away, they could still feel the immense pressure emanating from her body.

Smoothie gripped her now-gigantic sword with both hands, crouching slightly in a sword-wielding stance.

Carlos touched his chin, staring silently into the distance.

"The aura alone is incredible. If she really lands this attack, the Blood Sail Pirates will be destroyed..."

Carlos had intended to use this pirate ship to reach Wano Country, so he couldn't just let that happen.

From her aura, the giant Smoothie's strength was comparable to his own, if not greater.

If they fought, the battle wouldn't end quickly, and under the enemy's siege, the Blood Sail Pirates would surely be defeated.

Carlos still had use for them, so he couldn't let them be wiped out.

Perhaps due to his many years as an agent, instead of engaging in a direct confrontation, he preferred to handle enemies in a simpler, more efficient way.

"As a Devil Fruit user, choosing to fight me at sea... That's a foolish decision."

Carlos shook his head slightly and made a series of strange hand gestures.

"Water Style: Shark Bomb Technique!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the sea in the distance suddenly bulged as if an invisible hand was stirring the ocean's depths.

In the horrified eyes of everyone, a giant shark, 20 to 30 meters long, shot out of the sea!

Boom!

With a massive impact, the main ship where Smoothie stood was split in half.

Countless pirates were thrown into the air, only to be swallowed one by one by the giant shark.

Screams and shouts filled the air.

Caught off guard, Smoothie, who was in the middle of preparing her attack, was knocked off her feet and fell straight into the sea.

"Damn!"

Her face turned pale as she struggled to regain control, but her body felt weak and unresponsive.

After a brief struggle, she sank to the bottom of the sea.

The ocean churned violently, waves crashing and roaring.

In less than a minute, the giant shark had effortlessly destroyed all the enemy ships.

Looking at the countless wrecks floating on the sea, the Blood Sail Pirates leaned against the railing, exchanging looks as if still in shock.

After a long silence, Yorick finally turned his stiff neck and muttered:

"Did... did we really kill them that easily?"

"What was that shark? Is it the power of a Devil Fruit?"

"Isn't Captain Garros supposed to be a Zoan user? How can he control the sea like that...?"

Although no one understood what had just happened, they didn't dare ask Carlos directly.

Instead, they looked at him with even greater awe.

"Why are you still standing around? Clean up the mess and make sure no one survives."

"Yes, Captain!"

…

Suddenly, bubbles appeared on the surface of the sea amidst the floating wreckage.

A woman emerged from the water, shaking her long red ponytail and quickly pulling out a transponder snail.

"Mom! It's Snamon! We encountered the Blood Sail Pirates."

"Snag was killed, Sister Smoothie was defeated, and the fleet was completely destroyed!"

"They're heading towards Wano Country!"

…

"Katakuri! Summon the entire Dessert Army! I will handle this myself!"

On Cake Island, an earth-shattering roar echoed.

In a terrifying and oppressive atmosphere, all the creatures on the island looked to the sky in fear.

A tall, rotund figure wearing a pirate hat and a pink dress appeared in the sky.

Above her head was a blazing ball of fire, "Prometheus," as bright as the sun.

On her shoulder was the giant serrated blade, "Napoleon," and at her feet was the thundercloud, "Zeus!"

Cutting through the sky, she flew towards the port!
