Chapter 26
The Tragic Vice Admiral Modi, The Power of Homies

“Bang bang……”

“Boom…Boom…”

“Aaaaaah…”

Smoke and dust filled the air.

In the unprecedented chaos of the fortress.

Gunfire, screams, and the clash of metal echoed constantly.

Numerous Giant warriors, continuously wreaked havoc everywhere.

They slaughtered the Marines with reckless abandon, showing no signs of stopping.

“Help…”

“That monster…”

“What in the world is that?!”

“Damn it, let me go! Aaaaah…”

“Thump, thump…”

At a corner on the west side.

A large number of vampire bats, were scattering there.

Without any regard, they attacked the Marines with astonishing speed.

“Bang bang…” No matter how the Marines fired their weapons or swung their swords, they couldn't harm the bats.

Even the blades that managed to strike and knock them away, were left with alarmingly deep gouges.

“Thump, thump…”

Accompanied by piercing screams.

One dry corpse after another collapsed there, all of them were Marines who had their blood drained by the vampire bats...

“Hiss…”

“Gulp! Those bats…”

“Did Ling Ling transform into them?”

“What a terrifying girl!”

It wasn't just the surviving Marines.

Even the Giant warriors.

Seeing this horrifying sight, they couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.

They hadn't expected that the human girl El had taken in, would be so terrifying.

She was like an evil deity from hell.

And the outstanding performances of Gaerze and Heilding.

Also made these Giant warriors look at each other with surprise and shock.

They didn't expect that these two young Giant brats, would be so powerful with their Devil Fruit powers.

They had likely surpassed most of their adult Giant warriors.

“Alah, that Ling Ling girl, got too excited!”

In the heavens.

The giant Feather Serpent God, circled above.

El, who was observing the entire battlefield, felt a little helpless.

“Ling Ling, don't be reckless…”

Seeing this, Gaerze shouted out a reminder: “I still need to harvest souls!”

Looking at those corpses.

Even she, was a little speechless.

If it weren't for the fact that she was already very close to Ling Ling.

Otherwise, she might have been scared by her little buddy.

“Flap, flap…”

Numerous bats gathered together, transforming into a human form.

Covered in bloodstains, Ling Ling, with a terrifying appearance, came in front of Gaerze.

Wiping the blood from her lips, she scratched her head awkwardly: “Sorry, Gaerze… I got a little carried away!”

“It’s okay, I’ve already harvested quite a few, hee hee…”

Gaerze said happily.

Holding up her long-handled axe, she shook off the bloodstains: “But I feel like the axe isn’t quite the right fit for me, I'm going to get a big scythe later!”

With her Soul Soul Fruit powers.

She felt that a scythe would be more convenient for harvesting the souls of her enemies.

“Really?”

Ling Ling tilted her head.

She put the bloodstained blade on her shoulder, saying: “Hee hee, I think the big knife is pretty good, just too light!”

“Damn Giant brats, die!”

At that moment.

A figure with an impressive aura.

Suddenly burst out, charging towards Ling Ling.

He clasped his hands together, his ten fingers forming claws, wrapped in Haki, and lightning-fast struck towards Ling Ling: “Armament Haki - Ten Fingers Gun!”

“Bang!”

The Ten Fingers Gun, like bullets.

Struck Ling Ling's body, sinking directly into it.

But it couldn't break through her steel-like balloon defense.

“Ling Ling…”

Gaerze, who hadn't anticipated this, was shocked.

“What?!” Modi, the Vice-Admiral, who was originally trying to kill her with one blow, couldn't help but widen his eyes.

His Ten Fingers Gun, honed for countless years, his proud and incomparable skill.

Even thick steel plates, he was confident he could easily pierce through with Haki, but he couldn't break through the opponent's defense.

Moreover, the opponent had no prior preparation, nor did she use Haki or Iron Block to defend.

What kind of monster is this?

“Hey hey, old man, that hurts a little…”

Ling Ling frowned.

Her big eyes looked at this burly, fierce-looking man in a suit, with an unkind look: “But you guys are bad guys, right?”

“El-oniichan said that his family and clan, were all killed by you Marines and the World Government!”

As she spoke, a fierce light flashed in her eyes, and she directly raised her blade.

About to strike him down.

“Damn it—“

But before she could make a move.

Gaerze, reacting instantly, swung her axe down.

“Soru!” Modi, the Vice-Admiral, stomped his foot, retreating instantly.

The afterimage flashed.

The shining axe, swung through empty air.

Being too young, Gaerze, who swung her axe with all her might, stumbled, almost losing her balance and falling down.

“岚脚 - Break!”

Seeing this.

Modi, the Vice-Admiral, swept out his right foot fiercely.

“Whiz…” A giant crescent-shaped slash.

Ripping through the air, it came towards them.

It slammed towards Gaerze and Ling Ling.

“Be careful, Ling Ling—“

“Gaerze—“

Cassie, Reiding, Ouimo, and the others, their faces changed in panic from afar.

But it was too late to stop them.

“Don’t you dare hurt Gaerze! You damn bastard!”

In the blink of an eye.

Heilding, who wasn't far away, charged forward.

“Bang… Bang…” His hands, transformed into blades, crossed each other, directly blocking the incoming slash.

However, his strength was insufficient, and he was pushed back several steps by the powerful force of the attack.

“Go! Zeus, Hera, Prometheus, take him down!”

Gaerze was filled with anger.

She immediately ordered the three Homies loudly.

“As you command, Gaerze-sama—“

In the sky.

Including the Thundercloud - Hera, which had been floating in the air all along.

Upon receiving Gaerze's order, the three Homies responded in unison.

“Damn it, you dare to sneak attack Gaerze-sama!”

Flames blazed.

The demonic Sun - Prometheus, charged forward.

His anthropomorphic face, filled with rage, turned into a huge blaze of fire, dyeing the entire sky red.

Carrying with it a terrifying temperature, it distorted the atmosphere and smashed down with force.

Making this Marine Headquarters Vice-Admiral turn pale with fear.

He retreated hastily.

“Boom boom…”

A deafening roar.

A building was completely demolished and burned down.

The flames shot into the sky, the heat waves rolled in, it was a spectacle to behold.

However, before Modi, the Vice-Admiral, who had barely dodged this attack, could breathe a sigh of relief.

Immediately after, Zeus and Hera, the two thunderclouds, made their move.

“Zizi, jiji…” Two magnificent beams of lightning.

One from the left, one from the right, struck with lightning speed.

“Paper Art!” His body folded at an impossible angle, dodging the first lightning strike.

But he couldn't dodge the second, and was directly struck by the swift lightning.

“Aaaaah…” Modi, the Vice-Admiral, screamed.

His entire body was charred black by the electricity.

But at that moment.

A tremendously bright and massive fireball.

Carrying with it rolling heat waves, appeared in the high sky.

Like the real sun, it illuminated the entire dark sky.

“That’s…”

“Gulp! Is that the sun?”

“Modi, the Vice-Admiral, dodge quickly—“

Feeling the overwhelming heat waves rolling towards them.

All the Marines present couldn't help but turn pale with fear.

Even Cassie, Ouimo, and the other Giant warriors, couldn't help but open their mouths wide in shock.

“Turn to ash!!”

Flames blazed.

The gigantic Prometheus, ferocious and untamed.

Carrying with it unparalleled heat, it directly rolled towards Modi, the Vice-Admiral, who was paralyzed by electricity and unable to move.

“Boom boom…”

“Aaaaah…”
