Two American Spies Vs. A Poisonous Butterfly

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A barrage of heavy artillery shells rained down on the super battleship.

The energy shield of the battleship activated instantly!

The shells collided with the shield, dissipating like snowballs sinking into warm water. Small bursts of flame erupted, but the damage was minimal.

"Master! Those warships ahead are firing at us!" Nami shouted as she rushed over.

"I heard," Finn replied with a grin, pinching Nami's cheek playfully.

"Master, you're bullying me again!" Nami pouted, rubbing her cheek in mock frustration.

"Haha, I'm used to it," Finn chuckled, gently brushing Nami's cheek before standing up. He quickly spoke into the radio: "Hina, fire immediately! Take out all their weapons!"

"Yes, sir!" came Hina's voice through the phone bug.

In an instant, the super battleship's rudder was engaged, and it began to pivot, presenting its side to the approaching snail warships.

Massive cannon barrels extended from the side compartments—there were too many to count!

Rumbling...

With an ear-splitting roar, a storm of shells poured out like rain, blanketing the sky. Each shell was several times larger than a standard round, and their explosive power was terrifying!

The soldiers aboard the Germa 66 snail warships were left dumbfounded.

For years, their artillery had dominated battles. They had never experienced being overwhelmed so completely.

Before they could react, the shells descended like a torrential rain.

The sky was filled with small mushroom clouds as several snail warships were obliterated in an instant!

From the escape channels beneath the warships, emergency escape vehicles launched. A pink glow shot up from one of the ships, and a figure rose into the air, enveloped in a cocoon of pink energy, swirling like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis.

Pat...

Moments later, a stunning figure burst from the cocoon, her purple wings unfurling like a dangerous butterfly.

"This is the eldest daughter of the Vinsmoke family, Reiju," Stracey explained to Finn.

Reiju hovered in the air, her eyes blazing with anger. "Who are you? Show yourselves!"

"Finn, let me handle this!" Kuina's eyes gleamed with excitement.

Under Finn's guidance, Kuina's swordsmanship had grown significantly, and she was eager to prove herself, her mastery of the Yanhui sword now nearly complete.

Finn smirked and turned to Tashigi. "So, can you fly?"

Tashigi shook her head, frustration evident on her face. "No."

Kuina sighed too, seeing the situation more clearly. Neither she nor Tashigi could contend with flying enemies directly.

Robin, one of the three great powers on board, shrugged and muttered, "It's still impressive to be able to fly."

Stracey stepped forward, eyes determined. "Master Finn, let me try. I can use Moonwalk."

"I can do it too!" Kalifa chimed in, her voice tinged with urgency.

Having recently received the order to share her duties as Finn's secretary, Kalifa was feeling competitive, sensing Stracey was eyeing her position.

Finn considered it for a moment before smiling. "Alright, you two go together. This way, I can judge which one of you is fit to be my chief secretary."

"Chief Secretary?" Stracey and Kalifa both perked up, their eyes lighting up with ambition.

If one of them were to be named chief secretary, they'd hold more influence and position beside Finn.

Stracey, though pleased with the prospect, kept her composure. "Alright! Let's see which one of us can catch that pink butterfly first."

Kalifa, ever the competitor, nodded. "Master, my strength may be lacking, but I'll give it my all!"

Finn grinned at her. "I like that spirit, Kalifa."

He turned to both of them and added, "But remember—don't kill her. I'm still very interested in the Vinsmoke family's technology."

Everyone nodded in agreement, though Robin, with a wink, secretly muttered under her breath, "Smelly brother... I know what you really want."

With that, Stracey and Kalifa simultaneously leaped into the air, their footwork a blur. Stracey's Moonwalk was clearly superior, honed by her CPO training.

Reiju flapped her dark purple wings, looking at the energy shield in front of her with frustration. "Who are you? Come out and face me!"

Without warning, two figures shot out of the shield and appeared on either side of her.

Both women wore thigh-high stockings, their figures commanding attention. Reiju, momentarily impressed, couldn't help but remark, "Good material."

She narrowed her eyes in fury. "Who are you, and why are you attacking us?"

Stracey laughed confidently. "Does the Vinsmoke family have the right to question us about why we fight back?"

Reiju's eyes widened. "You know me?"

"Vinsmoke Reiju, princess of Germa 66. Don't forget, you fired first. Now you're questioning us? How ridiculous," Stracey replied coolly.

Reiju, momentarily speechless, realized she couldn't win this argument. She wanted to explain that it was a mistake, but she knew no one would believe her.

Then, remembering Stracey's mention of a "young master," she asked, "Who is this young master you keep talking about?"

"You'll find out soon enough," Kalifa responded with a smile.

Reiju's anger flared. "What? You're so arrogant!"

She shot toward them, wings beating furiously.

"Perfect timing!" Stracey sneered.

With a flash, she vanished using Shave, closing the distance in an instant.

Kalifa, not wanting to be outdone, followed suit with a Shave of her own, charging toward Reiju.
