"Ridiculous. Shinra Tensei!" Aeridar sneered and let out a cold grunt.
Suddenly, the air vibrated, and an invisible shockwave exploded from Aeridar, radiating outward.
BANG!
Rumble!
Thud!
Simas, who had just reached Aeridar, felt an unavoidable, powerful shockwave hit him, sending him flying. He tumbled through the air, crashing through several broken walls and slamming into a half-demolished iron turret at the stern of the ship.
"Cough, cough, cough~" Simas coughed up blood and slumped to the ground. A human-shaped dent was left in the metal wall behind him.
Swoosh!
Aeridar suddenly disappeared from his spot.
In the next second, he reappeared, having crossed dozens of meters to stand in front of Simas.
"Here~ Die." Aeridar looked at the man in front of him with a twisted grin. He raised his right arm, which was hardened with Armament Haki. His fingers were pressed together into a blade, and his hand vibrated at a speed too fast for the naked eye to see.
High-Frequency Vibration Black Blade!!!
"No!!"
Armament Haki: Hardening: Tekkai: Black Body!!!
Simas was caught off guard. Under the threat of death, his body instantly tensed up, and his entire chest turned pitch black, hardened by a large amount of Armament Haki.
Puch!
The pitch-black hand, like a sharp blade, pierced through his Armament Haki and Tekkai defense as if it were cutting through tofu. In Simas's shocked eyes, it easily plunged into his chest, even piercing into the metal wall of the turret behind him, his arm halfway buried.
"Uwaaah~" A large amount of blood gushed from Simas's mouth, and he bled profusely from his chest, quickly staining the deck red.
"If you had blocked me, I wouldn't be a monster, CP9 Instructor Dick Simas!" Aeridar whispered in his ear. "You're still lacking."
Squish!
Aeridar pulled out his arm, splattering blood.
"Uwaaah~" Simas spat out another mouthful of blood and some minced flesh. A gaping, bullet-like hole went all the way through his chest.
"Cough, cough~" Simas coughed up a large amount of blood, looked up, and said with difficulty, "The... name 'monster'... is well-deserved. I-I-I should have known better... than to get on this ship."
With that, Simas's head slumped to the side. His breathing stopped, and his wide eyes seemed to be still clinging to the world.
In reality, Simas was simply leading some veteran agents and a group of new agents on a mission to a certain country. He was the main officer in charge, primarily responsible for evaluating the potential of the new recruits.
However, after the mission was completed, an accident occurred: their warship was destroyed. By chance, Saint Eanriel was on a pleasure cruise, and his ship happened to pass by that country.
Simas then took his subordinates onto Saint Eanriel's ship to protect the Celestial Dragon along the way. In the end, he suffered all sorts of torment along the way and died here.
"Hey... H-how is this happening?! How could he die? That idiot!" Saint Eanriel, hiding in a stairwell, could hardly believe that a CP9 instructor-level agent had just died.
"Well, esteemed Eanriel-sei, it's your turn now!" Aeridar shook the blood from his arm, turned around, and a twisted, maniacal expression appeared on his face. He licked his lips with a bloodthirsty look and laughed like a madman. "Hahaha! Descendant of the Creators, a guy who thinks he's so great. It's gotta feel good to kill one."
On the head of the giant traveling snake...
"This madman... he's actually going to kill a Celestial Dragon!" Gloriosa was horrified and quickly turned to Hancock beside her. "Empress, stop him! If he commits such a heinous crime, Amazon Lily will be implicated, too!"
If a Celestial Dragon were to be killed at the gates of Amazon Lily, and the news got out, the Kuja would not be able to escape the blame. Right now, the only one with the strength to prevent this from happening was the Empress and Warlord of the Sea, Boa Hancock.
"Stop him?!" Hancock suddenly lowered her head, her beautiful face a mix of excitement and fear. She stared at Gloriosa with a cold look. "Who's going to stop him? Me!" Her body was radiating with killing intent, and she didn't even use the word "Empress" to refer to herself. It was clear what Hancock was feeling right now.
"Empress, you..." Gloriosa looked at Hancock in shock. She knew about Hancock's secret, but she never expected it to come out today.
After a few seconds of staring at Hancock, Gloriosa looked away and sighed. "You are the current Empress of Amazon Lily. Remember, today's events must never be spoken of to anyone."
Upon hearing that, Hancock was stunned. Her eyes softened slightly, but she still flipped her hair and said with arrogance, "I don't need the Empress from three generations ago to tell me that, Nyon-ba."
"What terrifying killing intent. The Pirate Empress is a truly terrifying woman!" On the Chris, Oliver let go of the Nagamitsu he was holding, scratched his head, and said lazily, "That guy, the captain, sure knows how to cause trouble. I guess I'll have to give those kids a good warning."
On the World Government ship...
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Rumble! Rumble!
One knight and one agent after another were sent flying. The deck was covered in bodies. Almost every corpse had a deep fist mark on it, but some had broken necks, and others were thrown by the shockwave...
Bang!
Aeridar knocked out the last knight who dared to charge at him, then looked around. Aside from the corpses on the ground, the only ones left were an agent and Saint Eanriel, who were both a short distance away.
The agent and Saint Eanriel were both pale, with cold sweat pouring down their foreheads. However, compared to Saint Eanriel, who was trembling and had collapsed on the ground, the agent in the black suit was at least still standing.
"Hey, hey, you idiot! What... what do you think you're doing to a Celestial Dragon?! You damned pirate, you scum! If you leave, I-I-I can let bygones be bygones!" Saint Eanriel said, his body trembling even more violently under the pressure of death as he watched Aeridar slowly walk toward him.
"Aeridar-sama, if you go any further, there will be no turning back." The agent in the black suit who was blocking Saint Eanriel swallowed hard, his clothes already soaked with sweat.
"Just shut up." Aeridar said with a disgruntled grimace. His figure flashed, and he appeared in front of the man, sweeping out with a punch.
Bang!
The punch struck the black-suited agent in the neck, and the immense force broke his neck, sending him flying sideways.
"This time, it's really your turn!" Aeridar grabbed the collar of the dignified Celestial Dragon, who was staring at him in fear, and lifted him up.
"No, no! I am a 'Descendant of the Creators'..." Saint Eanriel cried out in terror.
Puch!
Aeridar grinned savagely, forming a blade with his fingers and stabbing him directly in the chest.
"Uwaaah~" Saint Eanriel opened his mouth, but a large amount of blood gushed out.
