Spandam struggled to his feet, his hand trembling with excitement as he gripped the golden Den Den Mushi. He felt that the man before him was courting death. The Buster Call was the most terrifying symbol of the World Government's power, a force that even legendary pirates feared. This arrogant fool dared to provoke the Buster Call!
"I not only want you to hand it over, but I also want you to immediately activate the Buster Call."
Bai Yu's eyes remained calm, and his tone was as relaxed as if he were asking Bai Yu to pour him a glass of water.
"Send those five lieutenant generals and ten warships all to Enies Lobby."
"I'll be right here, waiting for them."
Spandam stared wide-eyed at Bai Yu's fearless face. After confirming that the other party was not joking, he laughed even more maniacally: "Fine! Fine! Since you're in such a hurry to die, then I'll grant your wish. I want to see if you can still be as stubborn as you are now after the Buster Call's cannon fire has fallen!"
Without further hesitation, he pressed the switch on the golden Den Den Mushi.
"Om-"
A special signal was instantly emitted from the golden Den Den Mushi, piercing through the sky above Enies Lobby.
"I'm going to launch a Buster Call on Enies Lobby. Nico Robin and her gang of criminals are right here."
At the same time, the signal to activate the Buster Call was transmitted to the Navy!
Five senior naval vice admirals who were on standby boarded their warships immediately.
Ten fully armed standard naval warships immediately raised their sails, started their engines, and sailed at full speed toward Enies Lobby.
With cannons loaded, soldiers lined up, and artillery fire poised to be unleashed, a catastrophe capable of destroying an island was rapidly approaching Enies Lobby.
Spandam gripped the golden Den Den Mushi, threw his head back, and laughed wildly, his eyes filled with the pleasure of revenge: "It's here! The Buster Call is here! Soon, the artillery fire will engulf this place! All of you will be reduced to ashes along with this Enies Lobby! This is what happens when you provoke the World Government!"
Bai Yu looked at his frenzied appearance and was speechless.
"Robin, watch closely."
"The Buster Call that you have feared for ten years will no longer be able to harm you in the slightest from this day forward."
"Today, right here on Judiciary Island, we will crush all your nightmares with our own hands."
"and many more……"
Ironically, it wasn't until the Buster Call was activated that Spandam suddenly realized he was still a hostage, and the Buster Call might blast him to smithereens...
The Buster Call came quickly, as the sea breeze suddenly became violent, carrying the salty, fishy smell and the smell of gunpowder as it swept over Enies Lobby.
Not far from Enies Lobby, ten jet-black elite naval warships, like ferocious steel behemoths, cleaved through layers of waves, approaching with overwhelming force. The naval insignia engraved on the hulls gleamed coldly in the sunlight. The cannons were raised in unison, their dark muzzles pointing directly at the Gates of Judgment on Enies Lobby. The air itself seemed to freeze under the oppressive chill of this force.
Five senior vice admirals, clad in naval justice coats, stood upright and exuded composure on the flagship's command deck.
Leading the group was Lieutenant General Doberman, whose eyes were sharp as knives.
Beside him, Fire Mountain looked arrogant and unruly, while Onigumo looked fierce, surrounded by a bloodthirsty aura. He was an absolute supporter of justice and was determined to make Nico Robin die on Enies Lobby this time.
Strawberry, clad in armor, stood expressionless, while the flying squirrel, wielding a renowned sword, exuded a chilling aura.
All five are top-tier combatants in the Navy, seasoned by countless battles, and are core members of the Navy within the World Government. Among them are core members from the Buster Call in Ohara.
Doberman crossed his arms, looking down at the people on Enies Lobby. His gaze swept over the all-female group behind Bai Yu, and a contemptuous smile immediately appeared on his lips. His disdainful laugh echoed across the sea: "Hmph, the World Government's most wanted criminal, and that remnant of Ohara, Nico Robin, is actually on Enies Lobby, with a bunch of pretentious women by his side?"
Fire Mountain spoke in a flippant and disdainful tone, full of contempt for women: "It's ridiculous. A bunch of delicate women dare to go against the Navy? They probably can't even withstand the aftershocks of the cannon fire. I advise you to surrender obediently and hand over Nico Robin. Maybe we can spare your corpses so you won't be blown to bits by the Buster Call and leave no trace of your remains."
Onigumo narrowed his eyes: "Don't waste time. Either surrender, or we'll wipe you all out."
Although Storoberry and the flying squirrel did not speak, the undisguised contempt in their eyes showed that they regarded these women as lambs to the slaughter.
In their eyes, women have never been the protagonists on the battlefield, but rather the weak who need protection. This all-female team, except for Uchiha Hakuba, is nothing but a joke of a mantis trying to stop a chariot in the face of the absolute power of the Buster Call.
Spandam was currently immobilized by Bai Yu's casual gesture. Hearing the words of the lieutenant generals, he grasped at the last straw and screamed at the top of his lungs, "That's right, that's right! They're all a bunch of useless women! Crush all these traitors! I'm a high-ranking official of the World Government, don't hurt me!"
He had long since forgotten his fear of being within the range of the artillery fire, and was filled with the pleasure of watching Bai Yu and his group being crushed by the navy, his eyes gleaming with malice.
The first to erupt was Artoria.
She wore a knight's armor that was interwoven with gold and azure, her hair flowing like a waterfall over her shoulders. Her emerald eyes were now devoid of any gentleness, filled only with icy rage and the dignity of a knight.
As the red dragon of Britain, King Arthur, what she could not tolerate most was such despicable contempt and unwarranted disdain for women.
The frivolous and disdainful words of the vice admirals pierced her bottom line like sharp blades.
"presumptuous."
A cold shout, not loud, yet carrying a kingly pressure that shook heaven and earth, resounded across the entire sea like a thunderclap.
Chapter 145 Crushing
Artoria slowly raised her hand, and the hilt of Excalibur appeared out of thin air in her palm. Brilliant golden magic surged out of her body like a tsunami, turning into a tangible golden light that enveloped her entire body. The patterns on her armor lit up with a holy light, and an aura of kingship that surpassed all things instantly overwhelmed the marines present, making them breathless. Even the sea surface was churned up with giant waves several meters high.
"How dare you, a mere lackey of the World Government, speak so presumptuously about strength and weakness, and show contempt for women?"
With a light step, she vanished from her spot in an instant. The next second, she appeared above the flagship's command deck, her golden magic condensing into a massive sword pressure that crashed down on Doberman, Fire Mountain, and the other four!
Doberman's expression changed drastically. He raised his hand to block, and Armament Haki instantly covered his arms. However, the pressure from the sword was far stronger than he had imagined.
With a "crack," the bones in his arms creaked under the strain, and he flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the mast of the warship, snapping the thick wooden mast in half. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with disbelief and terror.
"what?!"
Huoshaoshan was shocked and immediately drew his sword to try to stop Artoria's attack.
But Artoria simply swung her sword lightly. The violent airflow of the Wind King's Hammer, carrying golden magic, instantly tore the sword energy of Fire Mountain to shreds. The sharp sword wind grazed Fire Mountain's neck, cleaving his Justice Coat in two. The terrifying sword energy carved a crack several meters deep on the deck, causing the entire warship to shake violently.
"Are you kidding me!"
With a furious roar, Onigumo unleashed eight sharp blades simultaneously, imbued with Armament Haki, which attacked Artoria like the claws of a poisonous spider.
Artoria's eyes were indifferent, and with a slight twist of her wrist, Excalibur danced out an impenetrable curtain of swords.
The clanging sounds continued incessantly. Faced with absolute power, all eight sharp blades were blasted away. Onigumo suffered a heavy blow to the chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He flew backward and crashed onto the cannon platform, immediately losing consciousness.
Storobelli thrust out his longsword, the tip of which was also imbued with domineering aura. However, before Artoria's King's Sword, his armor was as fragile as paper. With a single strike, the armor shattered, and he was sent flying by the sword's energy, falling into the sea.
Upon seeing this, the flying squirrel immediately drew its sword. The cold light of the famous sword flashed, and then it unleashed the Tempest Kick from the Six Styles of the Navy, with countless sharp slashes whistling out.
Artoria merely shifted her body slightly to avoid all the slashes, then swung her sword horizontally. The golden sword shone brightly, and the terrifying magical slash directly struck Vice Admiral Momonga's blade. The remaining force continued to cleave him in the chest, sending him flying and crashing into the warship's side. His fate was unknown.
In just a few dozen seconds, five veteran naval vice admirals, renowned throughout the world, were utterly powerless against Artoria, easily crushed like children!
At the same time that Artoria made her move, Retsu Unohana also made her move.
She wore a white haori, her long hair was tied up, and her face was gentle, but in her eyes, there was the violence and anger of the thousand-year-old Kenpachi.
As the president of the Women's Death Association, she couldn't stand the way these Eagle Brand Navy members belittled women. Beneath her gentle exterior lay a ferocity capable of tearing the heavens and the earth apart.
"Gentlemen, speaking rudely will have consequences."
Her voice was soft, yet it carried a chilling aura. In a flash, she appeared among the soldiers on the warship. Without using any domineering aura, she simply swung her sword, unleashing the most terrifying attack. With each swing of her hand, several elite naval soldiers had their bones shattered by the invisible force and collapsed to the ground.
She moved with light steps, as if strolling among flowers, yet wherever she went, naval soldiers fell like mowing grass, and no one could withstand a single move from her.
Even more terrifying, she raised her hand and waved it, her spiritual pressure transforming into a massive slash that struck directly into the hull of a naval warship.
With a deafening roar, the sturdy steel warship was cleaved in two by the sword. Seawater rushed in, and the warship sank at a visible speed. The naval soldiers on board screamed as they fell into the sea, creating chaos.
Her gaze swept over the other nine warships, and her spiritual pressure suddenly erupted. The blade glowed red, and a fierce aura originating from Kenpachi, the first generation of Soul Society, made all the marines tremble as if they were being targeted by an ancient beast.
In just a few breaths, of the ten elite warships, one had been sunk, and of the five senior admirals, four were wounded and one was unconscious, all of them losing their combat effectiveness.
Thousands of elite naval soldiers collapsed to the ground, and the rest gripped their weapons, their hands trembling, their eyes filled with extreme fear and shock, completely devoid of the arrogance of the Buster Call.
They never dreamed that these women, whom they regarded as delicate, would possess such devastating power.
Artoria's overwhelming power and Retsu Unohana's ferocious slaughter—every move and every strike far exceeded their understanding of combat strength. This was not a battle at all, but a one-sided crushing defeat!
"Who...who exactly is that person?!"
"Five lieutenant generals couldn't even withstand a single move?!"
"Is this...is this still human?! The Buster Call...the Buster Call has been crushed?!"
The exclamations of the naval soldiers rose and fell. The Buster Call, which was originally a sure thing, had now become a huge joke. The World Government's most terrifying symbol of military power was no match for the two of them!
On Judiciary Island, Spandam, who was imprisoned, was completely frozen in place.
The ecstasy, arrogance, and malice on his face, as if frozen, gradually solidified and shattered, eventually turning into a deathly ashes.
His eyes widened, his pupils contracted sharply, staring at the crushed naval fleet on the sea, at the five vice admirals lying on the ground, and at the two female figures standing like gods on the warship. His mind went blank, filled only with endless despair.
"No...it's impossible..."
"That's the Buster Call! Five elite vice admirals! Ten warships! The World Government's most powerful military force! How... how could they be beaten like this by two women?!"
He trembled violently, his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, urine flowing uncontrollably down his trousers, emitting a pungent odor.
His previous arrogance and maniacal laughter have now become the most ridiculous irony.
He thought that by activating the Buster Call, he could completely annihilate Bai Yu and his group, and that he could watch Nico Robin turn to ashes. But reality dealt him the most fatal blow. His proud Buster Call was nothing more than an ant that could be crushed at will in the eyes of the other party.
Ten years ago, his father destroyed Ohara with the Buster Call and wielded power with the Golden Den Den Mushi, regarding the Buster Call as his strongest backing. But today, that backing has been easily crushed by two women.
Chapter 146 The Final Counterattack
"It's over... it's over..."
Spandam collapsed to the ground, his eyes vacant, his face ashen, tears mixed with snot streaming down his cheeks. He could no longer make a sound, only his heavy breathing like that of a dying wild dog.
The fear that spread from the depths of his bones completely broke him down. It was more despairing than facing death. The World Government would not let him go, even though his father was the leader of CP0.
Bai Yu stood still, watching the battle on the sea, his eyes still calm. He turned to Nico Robin beside him and said softly, "Robin, do you see that?"
"The Buster Call you've feared for ten years is nothing more than this."
"From today onwards, nothing can hurt you anymore."
The sea breeze ruffled Robin's long hair. She looked at the two figures standing on the sea, at the collapsing Spandam, at the destroyed Buster Call fleet, and her eyes reddened slightly. So everyone was this strong?!
Above the sea, the magic had not yet dissipated. The five vice admirals who had been defeated by Artoria lay sprawled on the flagship's deck. The excruciating pain from broken bones and the churning of their blood left them with barely the strength to lift their hands.
Doberman leaned against the broken mast, his chest heaving violently, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. His eyes had long lost the arrogance of a lieutenant general, leaving only a deep sense of powerlessness.
Onigumo lay unconscious beside the cannon, eight sharp blades scattered on the ground, his body dented and deformed, utterly powerless to fight again.
Stolberg was pulled back onto the deck by the soldiers, soaking wet and barely able to stand.
The flying squirrel leaned against the ship's side, a deep, bone-revealing sword wound on its chest, its breath extremely weak, its eyes tightly closed.
In fact, all four of them had already seen the reality before them—the blonde woman wielding the holy sword and the gentle woman in the white haori were beings beyond their comprehension. Their power had long surpassed the understanding of a vice admiral, and it should have required the intervention of an admiral.
