Chapter 531 - A Hurricane from A Butterflies Wings

"Shit…Three Harbingers are down…" Kinjiro said as he looked at a watch with dixie tubes and a flat screen that showed the Status of the Harbinger "Alright. Guess Capture isn't going to work." He pulled out a small receiver like the one that Murausagi held 

"All Harbingers! Switch to Deadly Force!" At that moment. All the Machines around the Archipelago. The Eyes of the Harbingers changed from colorless, to Yellow. Shining like stars in the void of space

"The Fuck?!" Jackie said as her butterfly wings that were attached to her back, made from her make make fruit fluttered. Small particles of glowing pink and fluttering down like embers. 

The Posture of the Harbinger changed. Going from standing straight now being in a half squat pose almost like a sumo, with its hands open and at an acute angle near its hips, it suddenly leapt forward! 

"Sharp Chrysalis!" She made sharp bulb-like structures that resembled bullets mixed with the shells of butterflies. Bright pink and glowing, four dozen floating in front over as Jackies arms were crossed in front of each other before being thrust forward and causing all of the projectiles to shoot forward! 

Then she clenched her fist causing the Bulbs to explode into Butterflies! Zipping around and creating deep cuts into the Harbinger! "Shit! That did nothing?!" Screamed the First Mate of Jackies Crew. He hopped backwards and flipped his axe in his hand once before dashing forward and reeling the blade high above his head! 

But the Harbinger was not willing to take such an attack! Clenching its fist it slammed the back of its hand into the man that stood at nearly chest level with the Machine! Causing him to be sent reeling through a dozen Buildings! It then raised both of its hands, which opened up to reveal two rails that were vertically parallel, coils along the inside of them buzzed with purple electricity before a bolt of lightning shot out of both! Cracking and zipping through the air in a lilac hue! Causing the building that the First Mate had landed in to explode in a ball of violent electricity! 

The Quartermaster was next. Moving quickly and shuffling her feet. Wearing what looked to be a gi with torn sleeves to expose strong arms. Her whole physique was bullish. Short black hair with a yellow headband. Her hands circled one another quickly, landing a flurry of blows into the side of the machine, that only caused minor dents into the dermal armor 

She flipped through the air to attempt and give a round house! "Great Serpent Kick!" She yelled, but the Harbinger was faster…Much faster. The palm of its hand began to radiate light as it was whipped through the air, and the moment the causal swing of its arm was face to face with the head of the Quartermaster 

The beam that impacted wasn't fully charged but was enough to scorch flesh straight from the Quartermasters face! Smoke rising from her face. Down to the bone! 

The doctor quickly ran forward. Their primary mode of combat was with their legs as a runner. Delivering fast punches while on foot. Swept the Quartermaster into his arms and ran away. His lab coat flapping as he sprinted away! 

The Harbinger had its eyes locked onto its target. Its forearms transforming into those same twin barrel machine guns! Fist tilted down and aimed down range! 

"Mauve Cocoon!" Jackie screamed as she summoned two pink cocoons around the hands of the Harbinger the moment the rounds fired off! Allowing them to harmlessly impact with in themselves. But the sheer amount of rounds did however cause the cocoons to crack and eventually shatter! 

Much like the Machine it was. The Harbinger Reloaded the moment it was out of Ammunition to use. The gun disappearing into its forearm before reappearing a moment latter! But during all of this, Jackie was moving forward! 

"Fuchsia Stingers!" She formed two straight 'Spearheads' from her flat hands. Very simple acute triangular shapes ready to be used as weapons! She sliced one swing across the face of the harbinger! Causing a deep gash! Then another to form across its chest! She then impaled both into the machine and screamed "Grand Morphisus!" 

She Expanded the Blades into a multitude of spikes out of the side of the Machines hull that then turned into Butterflies and zipped around and inside of the machines body before ripping out from the hole from which the blades entered

This however did little to stop the Sea Scourge! It grabbed the head of Jackie and threw her to the side! But her look out was quick to jump into action and catch the Captain! Using their 'Scale Scale' fruit to form scales from the ground to create a wall. "Captain are you al-" 

But to the surprise of no one. The wall was useless. The eye laser from the Harbinger exploding away the Scales, along with jackie and her Look out! Both rolling across the paved road! 

"Run! Get out of here!" Jackie ordered. Their Gunner jumping from their vantage point in the buildings above, summoning their twin barrels by virtue of their 'Turret Turret' fruit to shoot at the Harbinger from behind, the Barrels flipping from in front of them, on their shoulders, to behind as they all ran! Jackie forming a giant 'brick' wall with her Make Make fruit! 

The Harbinger however. Was nearly totally un injured minus the hole in its side and the gashes across its hull…The True Potential and Danger of these Robots when aiming to truly kill…Was Evident enough… 

All the pirates before. Must've been quite lucky…
