"You devil!"
"Spare me, I surrender!"
"Ahh! Help me, I won't be a pirate anymore, please, please!"
"Captain, what should we do!"
Esdeath smiled as she listened to the panicked wails of the pirates below.
Her relatives and friends in her memories must have pleaded like this too, but unfortunately, they received no sympathy; instead, it only stimulated the pirates.
"Don't be a pirate in your next life!"
Some tried to escape the range of the ice meteor, dreaming!
The impact of dozens of meters of ice was too fast to react to now!
"Attack that woman with me!"
A few Captains conferred and then charged towards Esdeath. They couldn't control their crew anymore!
But revenge was still possible.
"Artillery attack!"
Esdeath raised her arm high and swung it forward, shouting loudly.
"Yes, Esdeath-sama!"
The Marines hidden behind her had long been impatient. They pushed cannons out of the alleyways and fired them towards the docks!
"A Marine encirclement!"
Seeing groups of Marines appear, the pirates became even more desperate, unable to believe what was happening before their eyes!
The auction had actually been a trap, all designed to lure them in and gather them together!
"Fire!"
Dozens of cannons fired in unison!
Bang! Bang! Bang!...
Boom! Boom boom!
The sound of exploding cannonballs was incessant.
They exploded among the pirates, and screams immediately rang out, plunging the pirates further into despair!
Even the Captains dodged the cannonballs and continued to advance towards Esdeath.
Boom!
The ice finally landed on the dock.
The enormous ice caused damage, and a strong gust of wind stung people's faces.
Whoosh—
Buildings instantly collapsed to the ground, and many pirate ships were smashed into wrecks.
The pirate Captains could only take cover nearby; they couldn't withstand that kind of impact, and their eyes were filled with even more terror.
Their pupils dilated!
The people and pirate ships they had spent years acquiring were all destroyed in an instant; this shock made their eyes almost burst.
A few minutes later, everything returned to calm.
Only huge chunks of ice remained at the dock, along with wailing, gasping pirates, and her reputation points surged by a large amount.
Whoosh!
A sword light struck!
Esdeath dodged sideways and a faint smile appeared on her face as she looked at the pirate Captains in front of her.
She was confident that anyone with a bounty of less than fifty million could not evade her attack.
"You executioner! Die!"
A Captain wielding dual swords directly unleashed a Flying Slash towards Esdeath.
"I didn't expect there to be a Swordsman?"
Of the five Captains, none were simple. One's body swelled and transformed into a giant Kuma, five or six meters tall!
The others were either wielding hammers, or swords, and there was even a strange Devil Fruit user.
"Kill her!"
The four pirate Captains swarmed forward!
"Interesting!"
It would be perfect to capture these pirates and hang them in Shambles. It seemed the one with the highest bounty was that strange Devil Fruit user.
She didn't know what his Devil Fruit ability was yet, so she really had to be careful.
If it was a bug-level ability, it wouldn't be good if she capsized in a ditch.
"Take one down first!"
After dodging their attacks, she went straight for the Kuma.
She slashed a sword across the giant Kuma's head.
"Hahaha, overestimating yourself, I am a Zoan-type, Adamant Kuma Fruit user!"
"My skin is impervious to swords and guns!"
Before he could finish boasting, ice had already enveloped his head, then she kicked him, dealt with!
"Too much nonsense, first one!"
"Aohime!"
The Swordsman Captain shouted, and two Flying Slashes came at her!
Whoosh!
A sword energy was released, directly shattering the two intersecting sword energies and heading straight for the Swordsman Captain's head. Just as the Swordsman Captain didn't react.
Bang bang!
Two gunshots hit Esdeath's sword energy, scattering it.
"Thanks!"
The relieved Swordsman Captain turned his head to thank him, but saw the gun-wielding Captain facing him with a terrified expression, as if saying something.
"Why can't I hear anything anymore? Why does that look so much like me?"
A sense of weightlessness appeared, then his vision saw a headless corpse holding two swords, its head falling to the ground, and consciousness vanished.
"Second one!"
After shaking the blood from her long sword, Esdeath was about to move on the gun-wielding Captain when a voice suddenly came to her ear.
"Got him!"
She turned her head to see a two-meter-plus hammer smashing down at her.
"Good job!"
"Clang!"
The giant hammer and the slender sword collided, and surprisingly, they were locked in a stalemate.
"How is this possible, what kind of monstrous strength is this!"
No matter how hard he tried, the hammer didn't budge at all, and he even began to doubt his own strength!
He, who had always prided himself on his strength, had actually lost to a woman, and he was using both hands, while this woman was wielding a sword with one hand!
"You're far from Zephyr and Garp!"
This much strength was nothing in front of her!
Her long leg lifted, kicking away the burly Captain, then her thigh gathered power and a Chamblue slash flew out.
"Rankyaku—Ice!"
The burly Captain quickly crossed his arms to block the slash, but he didn't expect the sword energy to explode upon contact with him, spewing out cold air.
Instantly, his entire body was frozen!
Bang!
A gunshot!
A wisp of smoke emerged from the muzzle of the flintlock.
Just as the pirate Captain showed a hint of a smile, a sharp ice pick directly pierced his forehead.
As for that bullet, it was blocked by thin ice and had no effect on Esdeath.
"Stab!"
Her arm aimed at the giant Captain, and a huge ice pick emerged from her hand, piercing the giant once more.
Within less than ten minutes, the Captains of four pirate ships had fallen here.
Only the last pirate ship Captain remained!
"Esdeath-sama!"
Tina, who was watching from a distance, flushed as she looked at Esdeath, who was so cool in dealing with her enemies!
She was simply too cool!
Then her eyes turned to this last pirate ship Captain; he hadn't made a move just now, but instead had coldly watched everything unfold from the side.
This made Esdeath somewhat curious.
She even felt that the pirate in front of her looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him!
Clap clap clap!
The pirate opposite clapped his hands and said, "Well done, but how about you, Marine Captain, let me go?"
"Who are you?"
Frowning, this person had actually recognized her as a Marine at a glance, and she wasn't even wearing a Marine uniform.
"Hahaha, you don't recognize me?"
The man laughed arrogantly, not putting Esdeath in his eyes. Although he might not be able to defeat the woman in front of him, he was confident in escaping!
"You're Gasparde!"
"The one called the Marine's biggest stain!"
