"!?"
“So fast?!”
The reflection of the flesh pads in Jacob Benini's pupils flew past him. He only had time to turn around and glance at it quickly, and then changes occurred immediately on his body.
The pink crystal that originally only covered half of his body instantly wrapped around Jacob Benini's entire body. Under the sunlight, Jacob Benini had turned into a crystal clear pink crystal doll.
"boom!!!"
The bear slapped down with its giant paw, and the humanoid pink crystal in front of him shattered under the terrifying shock wave.
Countless tiny crystals scattered everywhere, and the deck was covered with tiny crystalline fragments. In front of the bear, only two pink feet remained, still standing on the deck. From the calves up, the deck was completely empty.
"Is he a natural devil fruit user?"
At the bow of the ship, Mihawk saw that after Kuma's attack, the opponent's body turned into pink crystal and shattered. His expression was slightly condensed, and he was a little surprised.
On the deck, CP6 members exclaimed in surprise when they saw that Hakob Benini was smashed to pieces by a bear's palm.
Not long after CP6's exclamations were heard, the pink crystals scattered all over the deck seemed to come alive at this moment. They automatically gathered together and soon condensed into a human shape.
In just a few breaths, Jacob Benini's body condensed again and stood on the deck, in front of the bear.
"Nonsense!"
"What are you all doing standing there, you idiots?"
"This guy is a esper, why don't you quickly get the seastone weapons to deal with him?!"
Although Jacob Benini was not injured, the oppressive feeling that the bear brought to him at that moment still makes him feel scared.
Unable to maintain his usual composure, Jacob Benini loudly ordered the surrounding CP6s, intending to make some targeted responses to the abilities that Xiong had now demonstrated.
Ability person.
Their world government has extensive experience in dealing with people with special abilities.
"There are also some very outstanding people with special abilities in the World Government's ranks!"
Mihawk glanced at Hakob Benini, said in his heart, and observed Hakob Benini carefully.
Judging from the abilities displayed by the opponent so far, it must be a natural devil fruit. That pink crystal should be its elemental state!
If it was a natural ability user like Crystal, it would probably take some effort for the bear to deal with it.
With the power of the Meatball Fruit, Bear's speed should far exceed his opponent's. This can be seen from the previous confrontation. If he can gain an absolute advantage in speed, then this battle will be invincible from the beginning.
The biggest problem now is how to break the opponent's elemental ability. The opponent's observation Haki also looks pretty good.
While Mihawk was looking at Hakob Benini, Hakob Benini quickly distanced himself from Kuma. While ordering CP6 on the ship to take action, he was also observing the two strangers, Kuma and Mihawk.
Although Kuma and Mihawk's attire is different from the statistical order released by the World Government, their appearance is still quite recognizable.
The bear's huge body and angular face, Mihawk's eagle eyes and the black knife he carries on his back.
After just a few more glances, Jacob Benini recognized the identities of Xiong and Mihawk.
Jacob Benini didn't foolishly ask why Mihawk and Kuma appeared on the ship and attacked the World Government's ship.
He had done a background check on Ginny and knew the relationship between Xiong and Ginny.
Isn't it obvious why Kuma and Mihawk are on the ship?!
"Did you kill Ginny?"
While Jacob Benini was waiting for the CP6 agents to assist him with seastone weapons, Xiong looked at Jacob Benini and asked.
His voice was a little hoarse, as if he was speaking from a thirsty person, but the bear's tone was very calm, so calm that it was a little scary.
Hearing the bear's question, Jacob Benini smiled brightly:
"How come?"
"I am a Celestial Dragon. Killing people will dirty my hands."
"She committed suicide. Um. Maybe she didn't want to be caught by us."
Jacob Benini said with a smile, his expression did not change at all because of the lie.
suicide? !
Hearing what Hakob Benini said, Xiong's expression darkened and a hint of sadness appeared on his face.
But at this moment, Mihawk at the bow suddenly reminded:
"Bear, he's lying."
"What he said doesn't match the information Long and the others provided us."
"Ginny has never left this ship since she got on it."
"No bodies were thrown from the ship either."
"Even if she's dead, you have to find her body."
"Stop wasting time talking to that guy and get rid of him quickly."
Compared to the bear who was concerned about Ginny's safety, Mihawk, as an "outsider", was much calmer.
His words brought Xiong out of his sadness, and also made the smiling face of Jacob Benini gloomy.
Glancing at Mihawk, a pink crystal sword condensed in Hakob Benini's hand. The next second, Hakob Benini pointed the tip of his sword in Mihawk's direction, and the sword body suddenly extended rapidly, and the sharp blade shot straight towards Mihawk.
Split the attack, defeat the bear first, and then defeat Mihawk?
If this is what Jacob Benigni thought in his mind, it would be too naive.
Kuma and Mihawk are together, and Mihawk's premise for standing idly by is that the battle situation is under control.
For Jacob Benini, the enemy he was facing was not just one of the two, Kuma and Mihawk. If possible, he would seize the opportunity to get rid of one of them first.
Jacob Benigni is somewhat confident in his own abilities.
Hmm.
Perhaps it was his identity as a Celestial Dragon, or perhaps it was his long-term success, that gave him such confidence and courage.
The world is big, and before seeing the real top powerhouses take action, people's knowledge is limited to their own experiences.
Hakob Benini walking out of the holy land is like Zoro meeting Mihawk for the first time.
He has no clear understanding of his own strength.
“Huh?!”
Faced with the sudden attack, Mihawk couldn't help but let out a soft murmur, his tone slightly surprised.
However, his hands did not stop moving at all. He took off the long sword behind him with one hand and blocked it in front of him casually.
"clang!!!"
The tip of the crystal sword hit the blade of Heidaoye, making a crisp sound.
After Mihawk blocked the opponent's attack, his eyes turned cold and he muttered:
"Your challenge, I accept!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mihawk lightly raised the sword in his hand and swung it to block the opponent's attack. The next moment, Mihawk flipped his wrist and slashed the sword in the air.
A green slash shot directly towards Hakob Benini, and in the blink of an eye, it was already in front of him.
“!!!”
Mihawk's counterattack came so fast that Hakob Benini was not even prepared to resist.
Hakob Benini could only hurriedly raise the crystal sword in his hand, and then condense the armament domineering on the sword, hoping to use this method to resist Mihawk's slash.
Jacob Benini wanted to personally confirm the ability of the eagle-eyed swordsman in front of him.
"Buzz—"
A buzzing sound echoed on the deck, and Mihawk's slashing blow hit Hakob Benini's sword.
There was no feeling of heavy force on my arm.
The slashes that Mihawk delivered seemed light and airy.
"That's it?"
"The great swordsman known as Tsugikuni Yoriichi's right-hand man, is this it?!"
There was no trace of the slash in Hakob Benini's sight, and he looked at the empty deck and couldn't help but scream in his heart. His eyes fell on Mihawk, and Hakob Benini was surprised to find that Mihawk, who had just swung his sword to strike a slash, slowly put the sword back on his back.
"?"
"What? Give up the attack?!"
Jacob Benini was surprised to see this scene, but before he could think about it, a slight sound came from the blade of the sword in his hand, which caught his attention.
“Click—”
The pink sword in Jacob Benini's hand suddenly broke into two pieces without any warning. Jacob Benini was surprised, and suddenly he felt a sense of suffocation, and his head became dizzy.
"What's going on?"
This was the last thought that flashed through Jacob Benini's mind.
“Plop—”
With a soft sound on the deck, Hakob Benini fell straight to the ground. The strong vibration caused the wounds on his body to open. Hakob Benini's body was already broken in half by Mihawk's slash.
It was not until the moment his body fell to the ground that the CP6 members who had not yet left the deck realized what had happened. They all looked at the Celestial Dragon's body on the ground, which was cut into two halves, with horror on their faces.
“.”
silence.
"Saint Jacob Benini has been killed!!!"
"The Celestial Dragon is dead!!!"
CP6, who was the first to react, let out a cry of surprise, and panic spread rapidly on the deck.
Mihawk ignored the CP6 and killed Hakob Benini with one sword. Then he put his hands behind his back and leaned against the fence naturally, looking nonchalant.
Killing the Celestial Dragons seemed like a trivial thing to him.
In the center of the deck, Xiong was looking at the body of Hakob Benini lying in a pool of blood in a daze. He had not expected that such a "difficult" natural devil fruit user could be killed so easily by Mihawk.
Xiong also did not expect that the ability user Hakob Benini could use elemental transformation to avoid Mihawk's attack, but he chose to raise his sword to block it.
In the entire New Navy, Xiong had only seen two people who could withstand Mihawk's slash.
Of course, there must be people in this world who can withstand Mihawk's attack, but it is obvious that Hakob Benini, who is lying in a pool of blood, is not one of those people.
"Ginny!!!"
The bear came to his senses and finally shifted his attention away from Jacob Benini. He let out a light cry and ran directly towards the cabin.
In the ship's cockpit, CP6's highest commander, Thorne, watched everything that happened on the deck.
Seeing that Saint Hakob Benini was killed by Mihawk, he had no intention of leaving the cabin and going to the deck to join the battle.
"New Navy!!!"
“Those guys in the new navy really did it!!”
"No, I absolutely cannot die, I must live!"
"If the Tianlong people die, I will die if I go back!"
Thorne crouched down, only daring to watch the scene on deck through the surveillance Den Den Mushi in the cockpit. In fact, he had recognized Kuma and Mihawk from the moment they boarded the ship.
Thorn was different from Hakob Beninisei. He knew that the world was vast, and he knew what kind of swordsman Mihawk was.
He didn't dare show his face, for fear of being killed.
But he hadn't expected Saint Jacob Benini to be so brave and daring enough to attack the New Navy. He was indeed a descendant of the twenty kings who had created the world.
And with the death of the Celestial Dragons, CP6 has no way out.
Thorne has made up his mind that if he can survive from the hands of the New Navy, he will hide his identity and flee far away!
On the deck, CP6s were already in great panic.
Everyone had already anticipated the consequences they might face next. Some of those who were mentally fragile had a mental breakdown at this moment, jumped into the sea without caring about anything, and fled from the ship like crazy.
Some of the calmer ones gathered together at this moment, looking at Mihawk warily and not making any rash moves.
They just hoped that Mihawk would be "concerned" about their large numbers and "dare not" act rashly.
Only after passing this hurdle will they be qualified to consider what to do next!
There are no stupid agents who can enter CP6.
If the Celestial Dragons die, what will happen to those who protect them? Don't they know what will happen to them? How can they survive? CP6 has their own ideas and their own choices.
The bear's figure disappeared at the entrance of the cabin. Mihawk stood at the bow, waiting quietly, with no intention of continuing to attack the CP6 members.
Generally speaking, he only points his sword at swordsmen with outstanding strength, or at those who actively attack him.
He is not interested in weak people.
"boom!!!"
A loud roar came from above, and the ceiling of the corridor in front of the prison was completely blown away by a huge force.
Light shone into the dark cell from the hole above.
Feeling the dazzling light, Ginny covered her eyes with her hands and used the gaps between her fingers to observe the scene outside the cell.
A dark shadow pounced in front of the cell door. At the same time, a familiar voice reached Ginny's ears:
"Ginny."
"Ginny!!!"
"It's really you, are you okay?!"
"I'm here, I'm here to save you!"
That was the voice that Ginny had been thinking about throughout her long life in the cage, and it was the owner of this voice who had been supporting her until now.
"Bear boy?"
"Bear boy!!!"
Ginny recognized the man in front of the cell door and cried out excitedly, but a strong feeling of dizziness flooded into her mind at this moment.
“Plop.”
With a slight sound, Ginny finally could no longer support her weak body and fell into a coma.
But before she fell into coma, Ginny's ears kept echoing with the bear's cries.
"A sweet dream before dying?"
"That's good. At least I saw the bear."
The warm sunlight shines over the window sill and into the room.
This is a small room of only about six square meters. The room is simply furnished with only a bed, a tattered bedside table, and a chair.
Feeling the light, the pink-haired girl on the bed murmured softly and slowly opened her eyes.
"here it is"
"Do people go home after they die?"
This is where Ginny has lived since she left the Valley of Gods. It is a church located in the southern part of the Kingdom of Solbe.
This is her room, the place she and Bear call home.
Ginny lay on the bed, feeling no pain in her body. She thought she was dead because the feeling of comfort in her body was something she had not felt for a long time.
"squeak--"
The wooden door opened slightly, and just as Ginny was looking at the familiar furnishings in the room with a confused look on her face, Xiong pushed the door open and slowly walked into the room.
Looking at Ginny who had woken up on the bed, a gentle smile appeared on Bear's face.
Walking to the bed, Xiong slowly sat on the bench, gently held Ginny's hand, and smiled:
"Welcome home, Ginny."
