Chapter 223 - Chapter 223: Too Damn Smooth

'Holy crap...'

Lancelot's eyes were glued.

Really.

Then he glanced at Blueno beside him and flashed a grin that all men understand.

"I never expected you to have such tastes. Seems you've used this ability quite often to sneak in here for a peek, huh? Tsk tsk..."

Lancelot's words snapped Blueno out of his daze. Blueno immediately turned and walked back, deftly closing the door behind him.

As he left, he muttered to himself, "Wrong door. How did I end up at Kalifa's place? If she finds out, she'll kill me for sure."

Lancelot: "???"

By this time, the woman had finished drying herself and began dressing.

Having come all this way, how could Lancelot pass up such an opportunity?

After all, with such a view freely available, who wouldn't look?

'Tsk tsk... You have to admit, Kalifa's figure is absolutely top-tier.'

Just as Lancelot was thoroughly enjoying the view, Blueno seemed to finally remember he'd left someone behind.

But he'd already missed the most stunning part of the scene.

The beauty had now fully dressed.

Yet seeing her clothed only heightened Lancelot's interest, for the woman was dressed extremely seductively—so much so it resonated deep within him.

Look: she wore a black bodysuit on top, paired with a matching black pencil skirt, under which was black fishnet clothing.

Her legs were covered in black fishnet stockings, and she completed the outfit with black pointed-toe high heels.

Wasn't this just standard office wear enhanced with black fishnets? The epitome of uniform seduction!

'Good lord, who could resist this? Oh no.'

Meanwhile, Blueno's face paled dramatically as he recalled that this guy before him was a notorious womanizer.

In his panic, Blueno's breathing became erratic.

Kalifa finally noticed their presence.

Her face darkened as she demanded in a low voice: "Who's there?"

Her tone carried notes of humiliated anger, murderous intent, and startled fear...

The humiliation came from realizing that everything from moments before had likely been witnessed by the intruder—they had taken complete advantage of her.

She desperately wanted to kill this bastard.

The fear stemmed from their location: this was CP0 headquarters.

True, after their defeat against Straw Hat Luffy at Enies Lobby, they had been pursued by the World Government for a time.

But they had since been reinstated into the World Government and had even joined the world's strongest intelligence agency.

Moreover, CP0 wasn't just the world's strongest intelligence organization—it was also known as "the strongest shield of the Celestial Dragons."

Thus, they reported directly to the "World Nobles," the Celestial Dragons, with their headquarters naturally located at the Holy Land.

How else could they remain on constant call?

In such a place, who would dare pull such a stunt?

The Celestial Dragons? Don't be ridiculous!

Most Celestial Dragons are useless trash, lacking the ability to silently infiltrate her bathroom.

As for the powerful ones among the Celestial Dragons, that went without saying.

Those individuals stood at the absolute peak of power in this world.

Would they really resort to such sneaky methods? If one of them truly fancied her, a single command from them would force her to obediently cleanse herself and deliver herself to their bed.

Just as she was about to take action, she caught sight of two very familiar shadows.

She froze momentarily, then her expression instantly darkened.

"Blueno... you despicable bastard, today will be your end!" With this furious roar, she abruptly stomped her foot hard against the ground.

In an instant, an explosive sound erupted as her figure vanished from the spot like a ghost.

In the blink of an eye, she appeared before Blueno like lightning.

Immediately after, she swiftly raised her long, shapely, and powerful leg—like a ferocious venomous snake—whipping through the air with a sharp, cutting wind, and slammed it mercilessly into Blueno's abdomen with thunderous force.

The speed of this powerful roundhouse kick was truly breathtaking.

Seeing this, Blueno cursed inwardly: "This woman, attacking with such viciousness right from the start, she showed no mercy at all!"

But there was no time to dwell on it; he could only react hastily.

He took a deep breath and growled under his breath.

"Tekkai!"

As the words left his mouth, his entire body's muscles tensed, becoming hard as iron, bracing to withstand the ferocious assault.

In that split second, a loud "Boom!" echoed as Kalifa's leg smashed heavily into Blueno's abdomen.

The tremendous impact sent Blueno reeling backward, stumbling four or five meters before he barely managed to steady himself.

Yet, surprisingly, despite the fierce and relentless force of Kalifa's attack, it failed to inflict even the slightest injury on Blueno.

It showed that when opponents were evenly matched, Tekkai was quite effective.

"Huff!" Blueno exhaled a long, heavy breath.

He felt a wave of relief inwardly: "She really holds nothing back! Fortunately, my strength still surpasses Kalifa's. Otherwise, just that one heavy blow would have left anyone else bedridden for at least ten days to half a month to recover."

The thought sent a chill of fear down his spine.

Just then, a mocking voice suddenly came from behind Kalifa. "Tsk, tsk, I never expected her to be such a feisty little firecracker! But... I like it!"

Hearing that voice, Kalifa's face instantly turned deathly pale, a cold shiver running up her spine.

"Damn it!"

Kalifa inwardly cursed, finally realizing as if waking from a dream that she might have attacked the wrong target.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Kalifa displayed remarkable adaptability and decisiveness.

Without a moment's hesitation, she let out a sharp cry: "Soru!"

As the word left her lips, Kalifa once again executed the "Soru" technique from the Rokushiki, her entire body entering a state of high-speed movement.

Clearly, Kalifa intended to use this extreme velocity to create distance from the person behind her, buying herself more time to strategize her next move.

It must be admitted that as a former CP9 member and current CP0 agent, Kalifa's combat reflexes were truly first-class.

Not only were her movements swift and agile, but her decision-making was decisive and her actions cautious, always allowing her to make the wisest choices at critical moments.

Soru was undoubtedly the most frequently used technique among the Rokushiki.

Moreover, it was extremely practical.

However, in the eyes of Lancelot, who was equally proficient in Rokushiki, Kalifa was merely average.

"Soru!"

Lancelot executed the same technique.

Rokushiki: Soru—by stomping the ground dozens of times in an instant (0.36 seconds) to generate powerful recoil, utilizing the explosive speed produced by this reaction force to move.

From an enemy's perspective, it appeared as if the user had vanished.

And this Kalifa barely met that standard.

In comparison, Lancelot was far, far faster—0.18 seconds, stomping the ground hundreds of times.
