Alone and Infinite

Kella, forcing out her last vestiges of strength, lowered her voice and her eyes glazed over:

"Xia heard from me that I encountered four enemies, who are suspected to be Devil Fruit users. They possess special physical skills."

The sound of high heels stopped at the door. Kerr knew she couldn't hide it from the other party, because the unstoppable blood had already left traces on the ground with her movements.

The sound of the doorknob being turned was exceptionally clear in the quiet environment.

"I'm curious. Who are you talking to?"

A figure shrouded in a robe and mask stood before Kelra.

A hoarse, deep voice sounded in front of him. A long whip hung down beside his legs, its spikes still covered in flesh and blood, with undried blood sliding down its length.

"Who sent you? Tell me, who sent you and what your purpose is, and I may spare your life."

Koala seemed not to hear, lowered his head and gripped the Den Den Mushi in his hand, his chest heaving violently.

Suddenly, he shouted into the Den Den Mushi, "Don't come any closer! Tell that kid—"

"Oh!"

Time seemed to slow down at that moment.

Fragments of glass from the window danced in the air, shimmering with captivating colors in the moonlight.

Her white hair flowed freely, and the cat-face mask on her face exuded a mysterious aura. Her divine robes, similar to those worn by Naruto characters, billowed in the wind and fluttered behind her.

Otsutsuki Natsu has returned to the world!

"who?!"

The thorn whip seemed to be alive, its tip crackling through the air with a crisp, sharp sound, and a white plume of smoke flashed and disappeared as it broke the sound barrier.

It whistled as it lashed out at Li Xia's head. The blow was extremely vicious and accurate. If a normal person were to take this hit, their head would probably explode like a watermelon.

Kerla's eyes flickered; it was this very whip that had caused her such great trauma.

"Buzz!"

The masked man's eyes also flickered. Shaved? ???

Oops!

She instinctively tried to dodge it with the same 'shave'.

But it was too late. As if teleporting, Li Xia appeared directly in front of the masked man.

"boom!"

Smoke and dust billowed, and stones flew everywhere. As the dust gradually settled, Krall stared wide-eyed at the scene before her.

The person who had driven himself into this desperate situation was being held by a hand and pressed against the wall, where a huge dent had appeared. His legs were shaking and struggling incessantly.

"You should go back and tell him what you want to say yourself."

Li Xia turned to look at Kera, and after realizing that he wouldn't die anytime soon, he looked back at the masked man in his hand.

This should be another secretary of Iceberg, Kalifa of CP9.

"Captain Luffy told me to tell you that he had anticipated CP's little tricks all along!"

Kalifa, who was still struggling, stopped moving, her purple eyes staring incredulously at the masked man in front of her.

Who?

That idiot Monkey D. Luffy??

Yesterday's chapter was supposed to be posted normally, but after I finished writing it, I thought that posting it wouldn't count as today's chapter.
