Chapter 163 : The Ability To Keep People Young Forever, The Battlefield Meat Grinder

"Little ones, kill these Marines!"

"The New World belongs to pirates!"

"Give these Marines a taste of real power!"

"Jiehaha! Victory is certain!"

"Everyone, justice will prevail!"

"Destroy these pirates!"

Clang!

Bang! Boom!

Boom!

The battlefield echoed with shouts and the sounds of combat.

Brave Marines fought against the Homies soldiers and vicious pirates who, despite having overwhelming numerical advantage, continued their relentless siege.

Clang!

The piercing sound of metal striking metal rang out.

The razor-sharp Gion sword held firm.

It blocked the ghostly slash from Charlotte Yasuie, the fourth daughter of the Charlotte family, with remarkable precision.

Momousagi, her face solemn, opened her mouth and shot out strange spider webs that engulfed Yasuie.

"Spider webs? Is this your ability?" Yasuie asked contemptuously, a cigarette dangling from the corner of her mouth.

She wrapped her blade with Haki and slashed with tremendous force.

"What?" Yasuie's expression changed instantly.

She couldn't cut through the surprisingly resilient spider silk.

She retreated violently, trying to avoid the bizarre webbing.

Swish...

Spider webs shot out one after another.

They expanded visibly through the air, surrounding Yasuie.

"Hissss..."

In a flash, great fireballs burst through the air, carrying terrifying heat.

They easily burned through and tore apart the extremely tough spider webs.

Momousagi abandoned her attack. With rapid, flexible movements, she dodged the continuous barrage of fireballs.

Boom!

The fireballs struck the ice behind her.

Large areas of ice vaporized under the intense heat, releasing clouds of steam.

The temperature was enough to make everyone sweat.

"No matter how tough spider webs might be, they still have weaknesses. They're doomed to crumble under flame..."

Armand spoke indifferently, holding the famous sword Baiyu wreathed in blazing flames.

She too had a cigarette, giving her a cool demeanor.

As she spoke, the blade in her hand suddenly tore through the air.

An incredibly blazing slash, lingering with flames, shot directly at Momousagi.

Momousagi, nimble in stature, used her exceptional jumping power to leap backward violently, pushing against the air itself.

She dodged the blazing slash.

The flaming attack continued unabated, striking the ice surface.

The ice layer tore apart.

A large area melted and evaporated instantly under the terrible heat.

Steam filled the air.

"Troublesome..."

Standing on the air itself, Momousagi looked at Armand with helplessness in her eyes. "Of all opponents, I had to face someone with fire abilities!"

The spider webs she produced were incredibly resilient.

Ordinary swords and even cannonballs could barely affect them, but flame was precisely their weakness.

Of course, as a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit user—even rarer than Logia—her abilities didn't end there.

"Just Moonwalk..."

Armand moved like lightning, also stepping on air to storm upward.

In fact, many members of the Charlotte family had mastered Moonwalk.

The famous flaming sword Palyu, now enhanced with Haki and flames, approached with a terrifying heat wave. "Spider Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Jorogumo form?"

Clang!

The two famous blades—Gion and Palyul—collided.

Gripping her blade with both hands, Momousagi pushed back Armand, who was slightly weaker. She raised her eyebrows, "You've guessed correctly..."

Few people knew she was a Zoan Devil Fruit user—the Spider-Spider Fruit, Mythical Type, Jorōgumo Model.

"I've read the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia. It says you can transform into a creature with a human face and spider body. The key benefit is eternal youth," Armand looked at Momousagi and said lightly. "That's truly an enviable ability!"

Of all her opponent's powers, that one aspect—eternal youth—was enough to make countless women across the seas envious.

"Usagi-hehehe! Is that so?"

Momousagi chuckled.

With her considerable Observation Haki, she extended her left hand. A huge spider web materialized, forming a solid barrier.

It easily stopped Yasuie's swift and unpredictable attack.

"Soru!" In the next moment, she stomped her foot, and her figure became a blur.

Moving directly in front of Armand, Gion, now infused with Haki, struck violently. "I think so too!"

Clang!!

Boom! Boom!

At that moment, under the suspicious eyes of countless Marines, heavy footsteps echoed from the distant ice.

From all four sides of the battlefield, enormous figures gleaming with metallic luster quickly appeared.

"What are those?"

"An ambush from the Big Mom Pirates?"

"They look like robots..."

"No, those humanoid faces must be Homies..."

"Whatever they are, destroy them!"

"Fire!!!"

Bang! Bang!

Chaos overtook the battlefield.

Some Marines buzzed with confusion.

Soon, under the command of generals and officers, they began firing at the approaching Homie-type Pacifistas.

However, ordinary gunfire had no effect on the Pacifistas.

Not even the slightest mark was left on their bodies.

Whirrrr...

In an instant, the Pacifistas' heads and the black laser barrels on their abdomens began to glow with dazzling light, then shot out blindingly bright laser beams.

Boom!

The astonishing laser beams easily penetrated through the Marine elites who couldn't dodge in time, then struck the ice surface, triggering violent explosions.

Massive explosion rings appeared one after another.

Heat waves rolled outward, carrying countless ice shards that scattered frantically.

Marines who were too close screamed as they were caught in the terrible shock waves.

Like pieces of paper in a storm, they were thrown through the air.

"AAAHHH!"

"What?!"

"That is..."

"Admiral Borsalino's power..."

Countless Marines widened their eyes in disbelief, unable to speak.

"Impossible!" Vice Admiral Dalmatian, Vice Admiral Tsuru, and other Marine Headquarters officers' faces changed drastically as cold sweat broke out.

They never imagined these massive metal Homie monsters could produce light beams identical to Admiral Kizaru's Glint-Glint Fruit powers.

Thud! Thud!

Boom!

Immediately afterward, more Homie-type Pacifistas spread across the battlefield.

In groups of twenty, they aimed their heavy metal arms at Marine personnel.

The dense barrels of Gatling guns began to rotate and fire, emitting dazzling flames.

RATATATATATA!

Armor-piercing bullets sprayed out in overwhelming numbers.

"AAAHHH!" The bullets formed dense nets of firepower, turning large numbers of Marines who couldn't dodge in time into sieves.

Countless screams echoed across the battlefield.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere. Severed limbs littered the ground, transforming the scene into an earthly purgatory.

Even lieutenant officers who had survived hundreds of battles and mastered one or two of the Six Powers techniques couldn't withstand the Pacifistas' assault.

Not only Marines, but Charlotte family members like Perospero—witnessing the Homie-type Pacifistas' strength for the first time—along with other Homie troops, couldn't help being shocked.

These Pacifista armies were battlefield meat grinders.

"Are those the Pacifista Legion that Wilhelm built?"

"Incredible! Equipped with laser cannons and new-type Gatling guns—their power is simply amazing!"

"Jiehahaha! They're truly magnificent!"

Bang! Bang!

Boom!
