How fast was Waldo, empowered by the Momo-Momo Fruit?
That slash from the enemy looked fierce, but compared to Waldo's speed, it was child's play. With a blur, he easily dodged the blow.
The expressions of the opposing CP9 agents darkened. Just from how both sides reacted to that slash, how they moved, how they countered, one could clearly tell who was stronger.
Though the slash didn't land on anyone, it still struck hard against the wall of the main building.
Clang!
That solid structure was sliced clean through!
The whole building was split in half. The top section tilted and slowly slid downward, proving just how powerful that strike had been.
Unfortunately for CP9, they were facing enemies far too powerful.
Even though the slash missed, the fight didn't pause. The werewolf-like Jabra instantly charged at Shiranami Hakusei.
"Shave!"
"Iron Body Martial Arts: Heavy Wolf Fist!"
With that, he charged in viciously, his face contorted in a snarl of rage and menace.
The ugliness of a man twisted by the wild nature of a wolf was on full display.
This move was nothing short of brutal. Using Shave for speed, Jabra moved so fast he nearly vanished from sight. With momentum and beastly strength combined, this blow carried terrifying impact.
But Shiranami Hakusei only chuckled in contempt.
"Looks flashy... but trash is still trash."
With a single thought, Armament Haki surged through his left hand, instantly coating it in a deep black sheen. He didn't even bother using any named technique. He simply threw a punch, meeting Jabra's Heavy Wolf Fist head-on.
Boom!
Crack! Crack!
Their fists collided, unleashing a violent shockwave. The entire building quaked slightly.
The force exploded through the air, and the shockwave whipped everyone's clothes violently.
Then came the sharp sound of bones shattering.
"AAAHHH!"
A scream tore through the battlefield!
A huge figure was launched backward, smashing through the wall beside the entrance and collapsing it entirely.
Who else could it be but Jabra?
"I'll go help the others. You two wrap things up quickly, don't drag it out," Shiranami Hakusei said calmly, his voice light.
As if nothing had just happened.
"???"
What... just happened?
What kind of freak was this kid?
He had just launched a Zoan user, transformed into a werewolf, no less, with one punch, without even using a named skill?
Didn't they know that Zoan Fruits massively strengthened a user's body?
CP9's faces turned green in terror. Their minds were spinning, filled with question marks, all staring at Shiranami Hakusei like he was a walking nightmare.
They just let him stroll right past them, too stunned to move.
Only when he vanished from sight did Kaku snap out of it.
"Stop right there!" he shouted.
There was no way they could let him just walk out like that!
They were CP9, assassins of the World Government! They had their pride! Their dignity!
How could they be so easily overwhelmed by a criminal?
Kaku immediately gave chase.
But just then,
A chill swept over him.
Reacting on instinct, he used Shave to leap several meters back.
Slash!
The ground where he had just stood was cleanly bisected.
He looked up to see Redfield standing before him, sword drawn.
"Your opponent is me," Redfield said coolly, staring at him like he was already a corpse.
Just one look into Redfield's eyes, and Kaku shuddered.
So cold, so domineering, it was like a demon had locked onto him.
"I need backup!" he shouted instinctively.
"Life Return, Lion Finger Gun!"
Kumadori had already moved.
His mane-like hair twisted into thick ropes, as if alive, lashing out like dozens of fingers toward Redfield.
But Redfield didn't even glance back. His Kenbunshoku Haki had already told him everything.
He casually dodged through the flurry of lion-fist strikes.
To him, they were full of holes.
After a round of attacks, not even a single strand of Redfield's cloak had been touched.
Kumadori was both shocked and furious but didn't stop. He recoiled his hair and instantly changed tactics.
"Lion Flame Blast!"
His iron staff spun rapidly, building up heat until flames erupted from its tip, forming a massive fireball.
He hurled it at Redfield.
Redfield turned and slashed, cleaving the fireball cleanly in half.
But when he looked again, Kumadori was gone!
Suddenly, Kumadori appeared beside Redfield, aiming for his side.
"Finger Gun Q!"
It had all been a feint. This was the real attack!
That strike showed just how experienced Kumadori was.
After all, CP9 were elite assassins trained to handle missions even the Marines couldn't take. You didn't get into CP9 without being a top-tier killer.
Against anyone weaker, that move would've worked.
But unfortunately, they were up against Redfield, with his Kenbunshoku Haki practically cheating.
To him, these antics were child's play.
Redfield's sword whipped across.
Clang!
He struck Kumadori's iron staff.
The moment they clashed, Kumadori felt a massive, tyrannical force surge through him, shattering the joints in his tiger-striped arms!
His grip failed. The staff flew from his hands.
But Kumadori wasn't done. His real goal was to get close.
"Life Return, Hair Bind!"
His snake-like hair shot out again, wrapping around Redfield's limbs!
Finally, he'd caught him!
"Kaku, now!"
Not far away, Kaku had already gathered energy.
"Giraffe Cannon!"
His trademark long neck had compressed, now it snapped forward with explosive force, targeting Redfield's head!
Redfield's eyes lit up slightly with admiration.
"These kids… they're more interesting than I thought."
He felt a spark of battle intent.
Despite their rich battle instincts and tight coordination… they were still facing a man who'd ruled the seas for decades.
With a flick of his wrist, Redfield sliced through the bindings.
Then, he raised his blade.
Clang!
He blocked Kaku's surprise strike with ease.
Kumadori had known his binding wouldn't last long, he had only hoped to create a tiny opening.
But even that plan failed.
He hadn't expected Redfield to react that fast!
