Franz died from the blow, his body shattered like crushed tofu.
Tina blinked, popping one Pocky stick after another into her mouth.
Has my sister really improved this much in just six months? Or is it just that she's a descendant of Atlantis?
As the older sister... this level of ability... is so embarrassing...
The stunned navy erupted in uproar, followed by tremendous applause and cheers.
Laurentina descended, smiling amidst a group of naval personnel.
Although the process of merging mind and body is slow, it has allowed me to regain some of my strength.
It's singing, singing that can be combined with slashing attacks, and the effect is surprisingly pleasing.
"Eureka, count the spoils." Tina patted her sister's hair and smiled.
"Yes, Colonel!" Eureka, with her single ponytail, saluted and led a group of men to clean the pirate ship.
Soon, Eureka excitedly brought over a treasure chest and quickly walked towards Tina.
"Sir, we've found this." Eureka's small hands trembled slightly as she opened the small box. "It's a Devil Fruit."
The Tina sisters couldn't help but look closely; the yellow fruit had cross patterns on it, which looked like church symbols.
Laurentina took out the Devil Fruit illustrations she had collected over the past six months and quickly flipped to the designated page by color and pattern index.
"Guardian Fruit?"
"It's a support-type ability," Tina said, somewhat disappointed. "Does anyone want to eat it?"
Eureka and the other navy personnel shook their heads. There were medics on board, and the healing fruits wouldn't significantly boost their abilities.
Treatment?
Laurentina also picked up a Pocky stick, and an image of a blonde, arrogant girl who was definitely being taken advantage of by her flashed into her mind.
"Give it to me, Tina." Lauren Tina's lips curled slightly. "There's a lousy doctor we have who needs this."
"It's that Alice, isn't it?" Tina also remembered that girl, and a rare smile appeared on her face in front of everyone. "That child is so pitiful, let's give her to her..."
As soon as Tina finished speaking, she turned to look at the side and rear of the warship.
There was a coffin boat sailing there, and a man wearing a top hat adorned with white fur was rowing it with great effort.
Laurentina also turned to look over.
and many more.
That guy is... rowing a boat with a knife??
Seemingly sensing the attention of the crew on the warship, the guy quickly sat back on the coffin boat and casually flicked a dark green slash behind him, propelling the small boat forward at high speed.
Laurentina suppressed a smile, but tears welled up in her eyes.
Mihawk, although you looked a bit clumsy when you unleashed your flying slash, you looked really beautiful as you rowed.
Unlike Lauren Tina's relaxed demeanor, Tina seemed to be on high alert.
"Is it really necessary to be so nervous, Sister Tina?" the girl asked with a calm smile and curiosity.
“We must take this seriously.” Tina looked at the newcomer with a serious expression, but her small, flower-scented hand gently rubbed the girl’s head. “It’s the Navy Hunter Dracule Mihawk, but I will protect you with my life.”
Hmm? A naval hunter?
Laurentina's face paled. This guy was a Navy Hunter?
"You were the one who unleashed those slashes, weren't you?"
Mihawk approached the heavily armed navy, his eagle-like, rounded eyes sharp and piercing: "The Navy Empress—Lauren Tina."
ha?
Naval Empress?
"What is your purpose in appearing here?" Tina stood in front of the girl and asked in a deep voice.
She stretched out her hand, assuming a fighting stance, and the atmosphere became extremely dangerous.
“Don’t be so nervous, Navy.” Mihawk took an envelope from his trench coat and waved it at Tina. “I didn’t see the messenger bat, so I had to give it to you.”
"What's this?" Tina looked at the luxurious gold-embossed envelope and suddenly realized, "You're going to accept the World Government's invitation to become a Shichibukai?"
“Not bad.” Mihawk nodded, but his gaze fell on Laurentina: “Interesting weapon, using a circular saw to perform a slashing attack.”
As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible wave of energy erupted from his eyes, and a chilling terror filled everyone's hearts.
thump! thump! thump!
The navy personnel on the warship, along with the bound pirates, fell one after another.
"Conqueror's Haki?" Tina struggled to stay calm and said angrily, "So... the Seven Warlords of the Sea... are you..."
"Was it...just a joke?"
Chapter Seventeen: Still thinking about your beat-up bicycle? (Please add to your favorites and comment)
when!
A circular saw flashing with orange-yellow sparks and a black knife locked in a stalemate.
Laurentina's face was frosty, and her hand holding the saw trembled slightly. This guy in front of her was very strong!
“Of course not,” Mihawk replied to Tina with a relaxed expression. “But this identity isn’t that important either.”
He casually dodged the girl's attack, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Just bored."
Hmm? What's the reason for that?
Tina angrily maintained her balance, and thankfully, the guy soon withdrew his supernatural powers.
"Flying Finger Spear - Lotus of Death!"
The white-haired, red-eyed vampire princess soared gracefully and elegantly, her two index fingers gathering blood lines as she thrust them towards Mihawk's body at an incredibly high speed.
“A finger-gun attack filled with ominous intent.” Mihawk remained completely unfazed, calmly dodging the attack. “Interesting.”
It's too fast.
Laurentina breathed slowly, her brow furrowed. Her finger gun, combined with the fruit's effect, could accelerate blood flow and prevent blood from clotting.
But for that man, the dense formulas were as simple as playing dodgeball. At this moment, he was like a seasoned player, and his barrage of attacks seemed to have slowed down countless times.
“Unfortunately, you’re too weak.” Mihawk shook his head and casually flicked a dark green slash.
"Should I say thank you for not using the smallest cross-shaped knife?"
As Laurentina spoke, she picked up the circular saw crossbar. The pure black Armament Haki covering her slender, delicate arms looked like creamy ice cream drizzled with chocolate sauce, so tempting.
Unfortunately, it still seemed so vulnerable in the face of the world's greatest swordsman's strike.
"Uh..."
Laurentina's wrist, which resembled a chocolate ice cream, was broken, leaving a faint mark from the long-handled circular saw. She groaned and slumped onto the deck.
"Lauren Tina!" Tina cried out in distress, her resentful gaze fixed on Mihawk. "Pirate, you deserve to die!"
"Don't worry about your sister," the pale-faced girl comforted her, dragging her circular saw as she staggered toward an unconscious female pirate.
?
Mihawk frowned, but didn't make things too difficult for him.
Laurentina stretched out her finger and, without hesitation, suddenly dug her nail into the man's neck, saying, "Borrow some of my lifespan."
The unconscious female pirate made no sound, her whole body inexplicably convulsing, her skin rapidly drying out, her hair becoming brittle and withered, her life force slowly draining away.
He looked as if he had aged decades.
In contrast, as Laurentina reaped the benefits of her lifespan, her condition recovered rapidly, leaving no trace of injury on her arms, which were as perfect as exquisite jade.
"Would the Navy do such cruel things?" Mihawk asked with amusement.
Tina, however, was overjoyed by her sister's recovery, and as for the pirates, they deserved to die anyway.
“I’m not a pedantic person.” Laurentina glanced at him indifferently, gripped the circular saw, closed her eyes, and then gently swung it.
"Deep Sea Concerto: Song of the Rainstorm"
The torrential rain shot towards Mihawk, and the man wielding the black sword was engulfed by the deep blue slashing tide.
Mihawk looked amused. He sheathed his black knife, closed his eyes, and reached out to catch the spurting rain, his movements unusually artistic.
Tina felt a chill run down her spine; this guy was probably sick, becoming like those playwrights who like to play riddles.
Laurentina's face twisted in dismay upon seeing this; Hawkeye had always known how to put on airs.
Mihawk closed his eyes and smiled, as the sky was filled with slashes that painted a cheerful melody.
Before his eyes appeared a field in the countryside, where a group of children held hands and danced a joyful and enthusiastic dance, and a bonfire was burning brightly into the sky.
Swordsmanship, music, and even Devil Fruit powers.
"A brilliant use of genius." Mihawk opened his eyes; the slash hadn't left a single scratch on him.
"Your strength is weak, but your ideas are quite ingenious. Just who are you?"
"I am Laurentina, a new recruit from the elite Navy Class One!"
"Kid, what kind of justice are you pursuing?" Mihawk shifted slightly, seemingly preparing to continue.
"Justice at will." Laurentina's expression turned grave, and black energy slowly rose from her body. "Flesh Cleaver..."
“Enough.” Mihawk suddenly turned and jumped off the warship, his voice echoing in the air below: “I have no interest in beasts that have lost their minds.”
"Go and get stronger, I'll be waiting for you on the throne of world number one!" Mihawk revealed an arrogant smile, sitting on the boat with his legs crossed. "Until we meet again."
The newcomer Shanks recommended is indeed very interesting.
Then, he unleashed a slash and quickly disappeared from the ocean.
Who's going to become the world's greatest swordsman?
Lauren Tina pursed her lips and then turned to check on the condition of the marines with Tina.
Fortunately, it's not a big problem; at worst, I'll just bump my head.
The group changed course, and the warship sailed towards Marineford.
"Oh dear~ thankfully nothing bad happened."
The warship hadn't sailed far when a lazy voice came from the deck—a call for reinforcements from the Knight Pirates.
Laurentina turned her head and saw that it was indeed that bastard Kuzan, with a bicycle next to him.
"Commander Kuzan, disaster always comes one step ahead of you."
Having nearly been wiped out, Tina couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks as she watched Kuzan leisurely arrive on his bicycle.
The surrounding sailors all lowered their heads, suppressing their laughter and barely managing to applaud.
impulse.
"What time is it? You're still thinking about your old bicycle?" Laurentina couldn't help but be sarcastic.
A slight commotion broke out in the crowd.
Kuzan's expression became quite interesting, followed by a series of incomprehensible words.
Saying things like "believe in Lauren Tina's abilities" and "believe in Tina's wisdom" made the female sailors burst into laughter, and the deck was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Finally, Kuzan simply took a folding recliner out of his shoulder bag, put on sunglasses, and ostrich-like ostrich behavior...
The return voyage was smooth, and after two days of sailing, the warship arrived at Crescent Bay.
"Hey, Alice." Laurentina registered her arrival information and headed straight for the girls' dormitory. "I have a gift for you."
The girl pushed open Alice's door and found her reading medical materials, a rare calm expression on her face.
When you see her, she always looks clumsy and unlucky.
"It's Lauren Tina!" Alice said with a smile, closing her book and getting up to make tea.
"Watch out..." the girl exclaimed, her eyes wide.
thump!
Alice was knocked over by the chair and skillfully fell into Laurentina's arms.
