Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece.

"Looks like I can't be lazy today."

As soon as she finished speaking, more than a dozen figures rushed over from all directions.

Those were real fights.

The mid-level officers of the Beasts Pirates are all Devil Fruit users; some are Ancient Zoan, some are regular Zoan, and some are artificial Zoan.

The leader was a burly man with a lion's mane on his face and his hands transformed into enormous lion claws.

Lion Holdem.

Artificial Zoan type, user of the Lion-Lion Fruit.

"Leave that woman to us, you go and deal with that demon's son."

Holdem said something to Black Maria, then led a dozen or so True Fighters towards Rangiku.

Black Maria glanced at them, said nothing, and turned to walk towards Robin.

She hasn't given up on the idea of ​​killing the devil's son.

Rangiku glanced at the dozen or so True Fighters rushing towards her, then at the Black Maria walking towards Robin, and a smile curved her lips.

"This is really troublesome."

She reached for her waist and grasped the hilt of her Zanpakuto.

Gray cat.

Her Zanpakuto's ability is to turn the blade into dust, and anything that comes into contact with the dust will lose control.

"Let them see the power of death."

Rangiku drew her Zanpakuto.

The blade gleamed silver in the morning light, but the light vanished the next second, and the blade turned into a cloud of gray dust.

Dust drifted in the air like a thin layer of mist.

Holdem led his men into the fog.

"Such a petty trick—"

He didn't finish his sentence.

Because his lion paws suddenly stopped obeying his commands.

No, it's not that it's disobedient.

It means I've lost the ability to feel.

He looked down and found that his paws were covered with a layer of gray dust.

The dust seemed alive, spreading upwards along his claws, causing muscles to lose control and nerves to become unresponsive wherever it touched.

"What...what the hell is this?!"

A flicker of fear crossed Holdem's eyes.

He wanted to back away, but his legs wouldn't obey him.

Dust spread to his chest, and he began to have difficulty breathing.

"Don't worry, you won't die."

Rangiku's voice came from the mist, carrying a hint of languor.

"It's just that it's temporarily incapacitated. This child is a poisonous cat, you know."

After she finished speaking, Holdem froze, standing there like a stone statue, unable to move.

The same situation applies to other real fights.

Some maintained a running posture, some maintained an attacking posture, and some maintained a defensive posture.

More than a dozen people froze on the spot, like a group of wax figures.

Rangiku emerged from the mist, shook the dust off her hands, and sighed.

"Is this all there is to a real fight? Several of them don't even know how to use Haki. It's really boring."

She looked into the distance, where even more members of the Beasts Pirates were surging toward them.

"Looks like we'll be killing a lot today."

Her eyes narrowed, and although a smile remained on her lips, there was no joy in her eyes.

Robin took a deep breath as she watched the black Maria approaching her.

She had just exhausted herself and hadn't fully recovered, but she wouldn't back down.

She crossed her arms over her chest again.

"Thirty-Flower Ring - Hook Claw!"

Thirty arms grew from the body of the black spider, and those arms grabbed the spider's legs and pulled hard.

Black Maria's body swayed slightly, but she did not fall.

Her eight legs were deeply embedded in the ground, as if nailed to it.

“I’ve said it before, these little tricks won’t work on me.”

She opened her mouth and spat out another spider web.

But this time, Robin was prepared.

She activated her ability ahead of time, and an arm grew out from the wall next to her, grabbed her body, and pulled her aside.

The spider web failed and stuck to the ground.

Black Maria frowned.

"All you do is hide?"

Her eight legs began to move, and she charged towards Robin.

It was so fast that Robin could barely keep up with it.

But she doesn't need to follow it with her eyes.

She closed her eyes and sensed the atmosphere around her.

Black Maria's spider leg stabbed from the left, but Robin leaned forward in advance and dodged it.

Another spider leg stabbed from the right, but Robin tilted her body again and dodged it.

One after another, spider legs lashed out like a torrential rain, and Robin's body swayed in the downpour like a leaf.

Every time it was just a hair's breadth away, but every time it was avoided.

An impatient expression appeared on Black Maria's face.

"I'm sick!"

Her body suddenly spun around, and all eight of her legs swept across at the same time, like a giant spinning blade, slicing towards Robin.

Chapter 205 The Death of Black Maria

Black Maria's body suddenly spun around, and all eight of her legs swept across at the same time, like a giant spinning blade, slicing towards Robin.

The tips of the spider's legs drew eight silver arcs in the air, moving so fast that they cut through the air and emitted a sharp hissing sound.

The barbs on those legs, as they rotated, resembled rows of serrated teeth; even a slight graze would result in a laceration.

Robin's eyes widened suddenly.

The attack was too fast; it was so fast that her reaction time couldn't keep up.

But she didn't panic.

Her body fell backward as if pulled by an invisible thread, and almost the instant the spider's legs touched her chest, her back hit the ground.

Spider legs swept over her body, the resulting wind pressure tearing the hem of her clothes, severing a few strands of black hair that drifted in the air.

Robin lay on the ground, watching the eight enormous spider legs sweep past her eyes. Each one was as thick as an adult's arm, and each one was covered in black Armament Haki.

She could even see the patterns on the spider's legs; those patterns looked like distorted faces, mocking her.

"You dodged it?"

The voice of the Black Maria came from above, tinged with surprise.

She never expected that this seemingly frail archaeologist could dodge her attack at such close range.

Robin did not answer.

She braced herself on the ground with both hands, sprang up, and quickly retreated, creating distance between herself and the ground.

But her breathing was already erratic.

The continuous high-intensity battles had greatly depleted her stamina. The stamina required to bloom on others far exceeded her expectations, especially against opponents like Black Maria, who were huge and possessed powerful Armament Haki. Each bloom felt like it was draining her stamina.

Your breathing is disordered.

Black Maria's lips curved into a smile, and her eight legs slowly moved, approaching Robin.

"It seems your abilities come at a price."

Her tone was as if she were teasing a dying prey, with a cruel pleasure in it.

"Blooming on someone else must consume a lot of energy, right? Especially for someone like me, every time I bloom, my energy disappears like water."

She's right.

Fine beads of sweat had formed on Robin's forehead, her breathing was rapid and uneven, and her hands were trembling slightly.

But she still did not back down.

Her eyes were fixed on Black Maria, observing her every move.

She observed the movement of every spider leg, the support point of each leg, and every shift in its center of gravity.

She was looking for an opportunity.

"Let me guess, how many more times can you use your ability?"
