Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

Chapter 138 The terrifying Boom-Boom Fruit, Gladius, Robin's Seventh Sense!

Nico Robin is locked in a fierce battle against Gladius, who is guarding the gate alone with his Boom-Boom Fruit.

This guy can detonate anything.

If I hadn't put on the Lotus Throne Cloth in time, I would probably have been seriously injured.

Even so, in front of this guy, her own flower fruits were completely useless.

As expected, Van Nistelrooy was right.

Devil Fruit abilities are only supplementary; one's true strength still comes from one's own abilities.

Luffy is almost there, and time is running out.

Gladius was not prepared to give Robin a chance and immediately launched an attack.

He suddenly stretched out his hand, and a dazzling energy ball quickly condensed in his palm.

The energy blast, as if alive, tumbled and leaped, crackling and popping, as if proclaiming its power to Robin.

"Taste my explosive energy bomb!"

Gladius roared and hurled the energy blast in his hand at Robin.

The energy projectile, like a burning meteor, streaked through the air with a wave of heat and arrived in front of Robin in an instant.

Despite the fierce attack, Robin remained completely calm.

She stood calmly in place, a resolute glint in her eyes.

Just as the energy projectile was about to hit her, Robin suddenly formed hand seals rapidly and chanted, "Hundred Flowers in Full Bloom!"

In an instant, countless arms imbued with domineering power grew out from behind her.

These arms, like nimble vines, quickly intertwined to form a sturdy defensive barrier.

The energy projectile slammed heavily against the arm barrier, producing a deafening explosion.

The powerful impact caused the surrounding air to tremble, creating a scorching wave of air.

However, Robin's arm barrier firmly withstood the attack, though the skin on her arm was slightly reddened by the energy blast, and a few wisps of smoke rose from it.

"Hmph, you have some skills."

Seeing his attack easily blocked, Gladius's disdain deepened.

He licked his lips, his eyes flashing with a crazed light, and once again gathered an energy blast.

This time, a huge energy ball appeared in his palm, with sparks constantly flying from its surface, as if it were about to explode at any moment.

"Let's see how you block now!"

Gladius roared and forcefully shoved the energy ball toward Robin.

As the energy ball flew, it grew larger and larger, igniting the air wherever it went and creating a long tongue of fire.

Robin watched the massive energy ball hurtling towards him and became secretly wary.

She knew that the power of this attack was far greater than the previous one. She quickly looked around, searching for a way to counter it.

Suddenly, her gaze fell on a large rock nearby.

Robin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

She formed a hand seal again and shouted, "Flowers bloom? Giant stone arm!"

Countless arms rapidly grew from the surface of the boulder, gripping it tightly and lifting it high into the air.

Then, the giant rock arm swung violently towards the energy ball.

The boulder and the energy ball collided violently in mid-air, producing a deafening roar.

The explosive force of the energy ball instantly shattered the boulder into countless fragments, which flew in all directions like bullets.

Robin's massive stone arm crumbled instantly under the powerful impact.

However, Robin had already achieved her goal; she had successfully deflected Gladius's powerful attack.

When Gladius saw his attack being neutralized by Robin once again, he could no longer contain his rage.

He roared madly, constantly gathering energy blasts in his hands, and then hurling them wildly at Robin.

In an instant, the sky was filled with burning energy projectiles, like a rainstorm of energy projectiles, pouring down on Robin.

Robin appeared somewhat disheveled under the barrage of energy blasts.

She kept using her abilities to summon arms to block the attacks, but there were just too many energy projectiles, and she gradually became overwhelmed.

At that moment, Gladius seized the opportunity to launch an even more ferocious attack.

He clasped his hands together, then suddenly opened them, revealing a huge vortex of energy blasts in front of him.

Explosions continued to occur within the energy vortex, producing deafening roars, and the powerful suction pulled everything around it towards the center of the vortex.

"Die, Nico Robin!"

Gladius laughed wildly as he forcefully pushed the energy vortex toward Robin.

The energy vortex, like a ferocious beast, lunged at Robin with bared fangs and claws.

Robin looked at the vortex of energy blasts before her, and a sense of crisis she had never felt before surged up in her heart.

She knew that if she were hit by this energy vortex, she would be pulverized.

At this critical moment, a strong sense of conviction suddenly surged within Robin.

She thought of her friends and all the things they had gone through together.

She cannot fall here; she must fight for her comrades!

"I won't lose!"

"Bloom, my little universe!"

Robin roared, her eyes flashing with determination.

Just as the energy vortex was about to engulf her, Robin's body suddenly erupted with a powerful force, which spread outwards like a surging wave.

It turns out that Robin's inner power finally erupted at this moment, and she fully entered the Seventh Sense.

She was enveloped in a layer of golden light, within which lotus patterns shimmered faintly.

With the help of her Cosmo, Robin's abilities were greatly enhanced.

She quickly formed hand seals and then swung them forcefully towards the energy vortex.

"Lotus Blossoms? Ultimate Defense!"

With a roar from Robin, countless enormous lotus flowers sprouted from around her, quickly coalescing to form an impenetrable defensive barrier.

The energy vortex slammed heavily against the lotus barrier, producing a deafening roar.

The powerful explosion caused the surrounding ground to tremble and kicked up a huge cloud of smoke and dust.

However, Robin's lotus barrier withstood the attack without breaking in the slightest.

Gladius was utterly astonished to see his strongest attack so easily blocked by Robin.

"How can this be?"

"Gradius muttered to himself, his eyes filled with fear and despair."

Robin looked at Gladius in front of him without the slightest pity in his eyes.

She knew that she could not be soft-hearted towards such an enemy.

"It's over, Gladius!"

Robin shouted, gathering her inner strength once more, preparing to launch her final attack.

With the full power of her cosmos, countless golden arms appeared around Robin's body, shimmering with dazzling light as if containing boundless power.

"Lotus flowers dance wildly, blooming!"

Robin gave a low shout, and countless golden arms swiftly pressed down towards Gladius.

These arms moved with lightning speed, arriving in front of Gladius in an instant.

Gladius stared in horror at the golden arm before him, but it was too late to dodge.

The golden arms, like sharp blades, pierced his body.

Gladius let out a shrill scream as his body was instantly torn to shreds by the golden arm.

With Gladius's death, the vortex of energy blasts he created gradually dissipated, and the fierce battle finally came to an end.

Doflamingo Family, Gladius, dead!

Just then, Luffy arrived.

……

Chapter 139 Killing Two Birds with One Stone: God Usopp's God-Slaying Arrow!

Usopp was now running at full speed across this perilous battlefield.

As he ran, he silently groaned in his heart.

There was nothing he could do; he was the most valuable one on Doflamingo's bounty list.

He doesn't have Luffy's overwhelming Conqueror's Haki, which can take down thousands of weaklings with a single glance.

Right now, he can only rely on his fairly good Observation Haki and run for his life like a rabbit on the run.

In fact, he didn't take these ordinary henchmen seriously at all.

When he finally gets to use his skills, he could kill these guys just by flying kites.

The fatal flaw is that among them is Dellinger, a formidable assassin from the Doflamingo family.

This mermaid in high heels was as fast as the wind, and almost tripped Usopp several times.

If it weren't for the protective armor and cosmos he was wearing, Usopp would probably have been seriously injured by him long ago.

As Usopp ran, he cursed inwardly, "That damn mermaid-half-bastard, how can he be so fast!"

Fortunately, he had the help of his Tontatta tribe friends, and with the assistance of Captain Leo, a user of the Sewing-Sewing Fruit.
