Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

With just a raised Wado Ichimonji, a slash severed all the threads that were strangling him.

Doflamingo's dying counterattack was weak and posed no threat to her whatsoever.

With a 'whoosh,' another sword slashed down, striking Doflamingo's neck.

A head flew high into the air, its expression one of final rage and despair...

One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, "Heavenly Demon" Doflamingo... is dead!

"call……"

Kuina let out a heavy sigh, took out a recovery pill from her bosom, and swallowed it.

Under the powerful effects of the medicine, her injuries are slowly healing.

It cannot cure instantly, but it can relieve physical fatigue and pain.

"You haven't improved, just like last time, while I've gotten stronger..."

Looking at Doflamingo's head, Kuina muttered to herself, "But this isn't enough. I need to become stronger, otherwise I won't be able to keep up with him..."

Kuina never stopped her training.

After using Doflamingo as a stepping stone, she trained even harder than before.

Battle is the best teacher.

She also gained a lot from her previous battle with Doflamingo.

The arduous training I've been doing during this period has been about digesting these gains.

She is stronger now, while Doflamingo remains the same as before.

A strong will is strength; she needs to constantly become stronger and make progress in order to catch up with Rocks.

She won't stop moving forward!

She won this battle on her own merits, thus overcoming the stepping stone of Doflamingo!

"The battle is not over yet..."

Kuina wasn't paying attention to Doflamingo; her gaze was elsewhere.

After thinking for a moment, she took out another red pill from her pocket.

This is a "strengthening drug" created by Xiao Yi based on the properties of the deadly drug E·S.

It has the effect of stimulants.

After swallowing it, it makes people forget physical fatigue, causes an adrenaline surge, and can restore them to full condition in a short time.

While the side effects aren't as severe as those of the deadly drug E·S, which would require sacrificing one's lifespan, they will still leave one feeling exhausted for the next few days, making even movement difficult.

'Snap!'

Without hesitation, Kuina chewed up the enhancement drug and swallowed it.

The medicine took effect instantly, and Guina felt herself restored to her peak condition.

His physical strength and domineering aura returned to their peak at this moment.

She won't use drugs in her fight against Doflamingo, but she won't have many concerns about the next fight.

They came to Dressrosa because of her; their companions embarked on their adventure because of her choice.

She, as the first mate, cannot step down now!

"I am the vice-captain of the Blackwing Demon Adventurer's Guild. Anyone who poses a threat to us must be eliminated..."

Guina exhaled, her eyes sharp and piercing.

After defeating Doflamingo and overcoming this stepping stone.

Kuina's aura became even sharper, and her presence became even more aggressive!

His own strength seemed to have increased significantly at this moment.

'Wow!'

Kuina took a step and disappeared from the spot.

In just a few seconds, she arrived at Nami and Monet's side.

With a loud 'boom,' the Conqueror's Haki emanating from his body intimidated Monet.

Staring at Monet, who had gone mad because of Doflamingo's death, Kuina said coldly:

"If you want to avenge him, then let me see your strength."

"Die! Die! How dare you kill the young master! You're going to die! Extreme Blizzard!!"

Upon seeing Kuina, the murderer of Doflamingo, arrive, Monet, her eyes bloodshot, charged at Kuina.

'Splash splash splash...'

The Snow-Snow Fruit power was activated, transforming into a powerful, frigid blizzard that swept towards Kuina...

"Isshin-ryu - Ultimate - Fushin-saku!"

In response, Kuina simply raised her sword.

A magnificent slash cleaved the oncoming blizzard in two, preventing it from even getting close to Kuina.

'Wow!'

Guina moved with her feet and instantly appeared in front of Monet.

His eyes showed little emotional fluctuation, only a decisive ruthlessness towards the enemy.

*Sizzle!*

With a second slash, Monet's blood spurted out, and his body collapsed to the ground, his life force rapidly fading away...

Monet... is dead!

"..."

Nami swallowed hard, and looking at the decisive and ruthless Kuina, she felt a strange unease...

That was so decisive!

That was so decisive!

The enemy she struggled against was instantly killed by Kuina with a single sword strike.

Nami notices that Kuina seems to have become even stronger after killing Doflamingo...

This was clearly a good thing, though. Nami gave Kuina a thumbs-up and said, "Wow, Kuina!"

"Ah."

Kuina nodded to Nami, then continued, "I just took the 'enhancement potion,' so there's not much time to waste. Take care of yourself."

After saying that, Kuina disappeared again, charging towards the other enemies...

*Sizzle!*

With a few casual sword strikes, Kuina killed the Kangaroo Fruit user who was entangled with Robin's clone...

Without any intention of exchanging pleasantries, he told Robin and Illya to "protect yourselves" before charging at the others again.

'Hiss hiss hiss...'

Kuina is like the Grim Reaper wielding a scythe.

Navy officers below the rank of vice admiral were no match for her and were easily killed.

Finally, Vice Admiral Onigumo of the Marine Headquarters made his move.

Onigumo stopped fighting Issho and turned to attack Kuina...

……

"If it weren't for this Logia-type Devil Fruit user, I wouldn't be stuck like this..."

Nami hummed twice as she watched Kuina, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Onigumo.

Then, turning her gaze to the already deceased Monet, Nami shook her head and said, "What a pity for a Logia-type Devil Fruit. If only Rakan were here..."

"Alright, now it's my turn to shine, 'Thor' Nami! If it's not a Logia-type, my attacks will definitely work!"

After Nami finished speaking, she turned into lightning and disappeared from the spot.

'Crackling crackling!'

Nami spread her arms, lightning surging around her, and bolts of lightning blasted towards the Marine soldiers.

Many Marines were hit by Nami's attacks and were thus defeated...

"There are more and more navies..."

Nami glanced in one direction and frowned. "Are they planning to outnumber us? This is so annoying!"

These naval vessels that arrived here were all gathered from the warships on the shore.

Upon closer inspection, they were densely packed, numbering in the hundreds, and all were elite naval personnel.

These naval forces are not particularly strong in terms of physical strength or imposing presence, but they have an advantage in numbers.

Rocks and Kuina both have their own rivals and cannot come here to use Conqueror's Haki to knock them unconscious...

Sometimes, numbers can be a huge advantage!

After defeating many more Marine soldiers, Nami transformed into lightning and appeared beside Perona, saying to her:

"Hey, Ghost Woman, haven't you dealt with those toy soldiers yet? You're too slow!"

The reason for seeking out Perona is that her Negative Specter is very effective in numerical warfare...

"The boss said they were transformed from innocent people, so we can't really destroy them."

Perona used her Negative Ghost to move back and forth over the toy soldiers, puffing out her cheeks as she said, "So I can only use Negative Ghost to suppress them!"

If it weren't for that, she would have already blasted those toys to smithereens with the Explosive Ghost.

Why would it take so much effort?

She's exhausted!
