Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

His reactions were incredibly swift; every attack he launched seemed to be anticipated, rendering him largely ineffective as a threat…

Taking a deep breath, Bonis said in a deep voice, "What follows is my strongest attack. If you can withstand it, then I have lost this battle!"

Kuina stared intently at her opponent, her eyes sharp as ever: "One move to decide the outcome? As you wish!"

"Then let's go!"

Bonis's face was expressionless, as if he didn't care much about winning or losing.

As an assassin, his only responsibility is to carry out missions; whether he succeeds or fails, it's all part of the mission.

With a clang, Kuina sheathed the Wado Ichimonji, lowered her body, gripped the hilt with her right hand, and a faint aura of sword energy emanated from her body.

This is the stance for a sword draw!

"A quick draw sword strike?"

Bonis has killed many swordsmen.

Knowing that the draw slash is a sword technique where the swordsman prepares for the attack, it is a sword technique that requires very precise timing and judgment.

A misjudgment of timing will expose a huge flaw.

Since this is the final attack, let's confront the enemy head-on.

Regardless of the outcome of this battle, his fate is already sealed.

The swordsman's companions were over there.

And they are clearly stronger...

'Wow!'

Bonis moved, charging straight at Kuina.

He clasped his hands together, his ten fingers spread out and transformed into sharp blades, his power concentrated in his fingers.

"Annihilation of Microscopic Dust Slash!"

"Isshin-ryu: Setsuna!"

Kuina's eyes were sharp, and the moment Bonis charged in, she moved as well.

With a flash, he charged forward, sword and scabbard rubbing against each other, unleashing a powerful strike in an instant.

The Wado Ichimonji was drawn from its sheath, transforming into a beam of light that slashed forward!

'Clang! Sizzle sizzle sizzle...'

The two passed each other, and a crisp metallic sound rang out.

At the point of impact, the earth suddenly cracked open, and smooth cuts spread radially...

"You are very strong. I have lost this battle..."

After Bonis finished speaking, a large amount of blood suddenly gushed from his body.

Then he collapsed to the ground, completely incapacitated...

"You are very strong too, but I have a reason not to lose."

Guina said something indifferently.

The opponent was indeed very strong, and this final collision injured her again, leaving her with several more wounds.

However, she won.

This battle was also of great help to her, allowing her to gain a deeper understanding of the Iron-Cutting Realm.

Give her time to process this understanding, and she will become stronger!

Seeing Kuina win, Nami excitedly pumped her fist: "Yay, Kuina won! As expected of the first mate, she's amazing!"

Lockes chuckled: "How could the first mate I chose be bad?"

Kuina's talent in swordsmanship surpasses Zoro's; her only weakness is that, being a woman, her physique is inherently weaker than a man's.

However, Kuina follows a swordsmanship path that uses skill to overcome strength and hones swordsmanship techniques to the extreme.

Women actually have the advantage in this regard.

How far Kuina can go in the future depends entirely on Kuina herself!

Compared to Rocks and Nami's joy and composure, the other bounty hunters present were gripped by fear...

"We...we lost..."

"Even top-level spies have been defeated?"

What should we do next?

Despair and fear gripped their hearts.

The reason they are still here is that they dare not leave.

Someone tried to escape, but a bright green orb pierced through their forehead...

Who would dare to run in this situation?

The other party is clearly saying that whoever runs will die...

Among the crowd, one person repeatedly said to the Den Den Mushi, "Yes, I understand, Boss..."

His face showed fear, but he dared not disobey the orders from the Den Den Mushi...

He mustered his courage, and shakily stepped out from the crowd, walking towards where Locke was. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Sir... my boss wants to speak with you..."

"Oh? Your boss?"

Lox looked at the man, then at the Den Den Mushi in his hand, and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "Give me the Den Den Mushi."

The opponent's boss is undoubtedly Crocodile.

I didn't expect this guy to be paying attention to this place too.

interesting!

"Guhahaha!"

The signature laughter came from the Den Den Mushi.

The Den Den Mushi mimicked the expression on the other end of the line—calm, composed, as if everything was under control: "You didn't do anything to my men, did you?"

Chapter 77: A Conversation with Crocodile!

"It's nothing."

Lox glanced at the dying Bonis and spoke calmly to the Den Den Mushi in his hand: "He's just about to die."

"..."

Crocodile on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was noticeably silent for a moment.

Then he spoke calmly, as if issuing an order: "Heal him. If he dies, you will all die too. No matter where you hide, you will only have this one fate."

Daz Bonis is the second most powerful person in Baroque Works after him.

Crocodile will not let the other party die, as the other party will have to do a lot of the dirty and hard work.

As for these individuals, he didn't take them seriously.

After all, he was a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea who once roamed the New World and had bared his fangs at Edward Newgate, the strongest man in the world!

The tone was quite casual, almost like an order!

"You're quite an interesting person."

Locus smirked: "Have you lost your mind? You're threatening me in this situation?"

"Do you think you're Eiichiro Oda?"

"You only have this one choice: he is dead, and there will be no place for you on this sea."

Crocodile didn't seem to care much about Rocks's crude words.

He wouldn't stoop to the level of such a petty person; doing so would only lower his own standards: "If he dies, you die; if he lives, you live!"

He is Crocodile; he would not stoop to save his men's lives.

He didn't think these people would dare to continue killing Daz Bonitz once he revealed his name.

His name is the best deterrent.

No one can ignore Crocodile's words, especially in the first half of this Grand Line!

"Stop talking nonsense. It's simple if you want him to live; just pay a price."

Rocks counted on his fingers, not taking Crocodile's threat to heart.

He laughed and said, "I'm very interested in Devil Fruits. Give me a few to play with, and I might be kind enough to let the other party go."

Knowing that Blackwing Daemon has the ability to devour Devil Fruits, Rocks wanted to try it out, regardless of whether the outcome was good or bad.

Understanding your own "golden touch" is something you absolutely must do.

This is also his own "Devil Fruit ability," which he needs to understand thoroughly!

"Guhaha, you're a very courageous person!"

Crocodile laughed, a very loud and boisterous laugh.

A second later, his laughter stopped, and the Den Den Mushi mimicked Crocodile's expression, calmly saying, "However, people like this usually don't live long. They have no respect for the strong on the sea. Such people can't even get close to me."

How many Devil Fruits?

That's outrageous!

Regardless of whether he had it or not, even if he did, he would never pay such a price for Bonis.

He, Crocodile, is not threatened by anyone!

"You talk too much nonsense."

Rocks sneered, "If you don't want your men to die, give me a few Devil Fruits to play with. I've already stated my conditions; it's up to you whether you agree or not."

Who are you scaring?
