"... huh?!" Sonic laughed maliciously, but, raising his hand to strike, he suddenly noticed that he was surrounded on both sides by black iron branches, similar to a fence.
"Sit still, Sonic!" Hina shouted from afar, waving her arms and clutching two iron branches in the middle.
This was her ability, the power of the Devil Fruit. When she touched the enemy, the iron branches would turn into steel shackles, capturing them.
"If I get captured, it'll be a disaster!" Somic recognized the ability of the "Cage Fruit" and immediately jumped up, using "Moon walk" to avoid being captured.
"Stupid paw!!!" he whispered, bending the fingers of his right hand into a claw-like shape and slashing downwards. Five invisible blades of wind flew through the air, attacking Hina from below.
Due to the darkness of the night, Hina was unable to notice the change in the air flow. In addition, she had not yet mastered Observation Haki, so she received five deep wounds before she could react.
Pshhhhh! - the blood spurted out, staining her white sailor suit red.
Hina's face twisted in pain as her body flew into the air and landed on the deck with a loud "bang".
"Captain Hina!" the sailors cried out, surrounding her.
"Miss Hina!" someone else added.
Meanwhile, Jabra, who was in the air, saw his chance and attacked.
- Finger Pistol: Heavy Arrow!!! - He pressed the air with his feet, creating visible steam that gave him a powerful momentum. His body shot forward like an arrow, and his right arm, bent into a horseshoe shape, headed towards Sonic.
But Sonic, who possessed Observation Haki, had already "foreseen" the attack. He turned slightly, dodging the blow. As they passed each other, Sonic suddenly twisted and delivered a powerful blow, like a blow from an axe, to Jabra's neck.
Bam! - the blow was so strong and unexpected that Jabra's eyes rolled back and he almost lost consciousness.
With a scream, he fell to the deck, breaking through the thick oak planking and falling onto the second level of the ship. Smoke rose into the air, and a wave of air mixed with shards of wood flew in all directions.
- Iron Body: Flash Tooth!!! - At this moment, Fukurou rushed forward with great speed, like lightning.
"Paper Art: Slide!!!" Fukurou shouted, and his round body suddenly changed shape, becoming like the letter "C".
Boom! - Fukurou's attack missed and he crashed into the wall of the captain's cabin, causing thick smoke and dust.
"What bad luck! Chababa~" Fukurou muttered, noticing the injured Hina and the missing Jabra.
Too fast! The battle has become one-sided.
Bang-bang-bang!.. – at that moment a group of sailors with guns and flare guns loaded with prison cartridges ran out onto the deck and opened fire on Sea Lock.
"You don't know what it means to live or die! Sickle Claw!!!" Sonic's eyes turned cold and he simultaneously slammed his hands down, imitating the claws of a beast.
There was a screeching sound in the air, and ten invisible blades of wind, like a hurricane, caused a bloody massacre among the sailors.
Pff, pff, pff... - the soft sound of piercing flesh continued, and many marines fell into pools of blood like mown straw. Only fear and pain remained on their young faces.
- Black Spear!!! - a sudden cry rang out.
A black iron rod shot out from below with great speed, almost invisible in the darkness of the night. It was Hina, who, despite her wounds, tried to stop Sonic.
But Sonic didn't even look at her. He simply deflected the black spear with a light kick.
"How so?!" Hina screamed in despair, but the intense pain from her wounds made her fall to her knees.
"Shave!!!" she heard the last word before she lost consciousness.
The next moment, Sonic suddenly descended rapidly, drawing a sharp trajectory in the air, and appeared next to Hina with lightning speed.
- What?.. - Hina, her pretty face changed color.
She had already started to turn around to resist, but Sonic swung his right hand and struck Hina in the neck like a knife.
Hina immediately lost consciousness, without having time to utter a word, and her limp body collapsed onto the wet deck.
- Finger Pistol: Zhou Yan! - a shout rang out.
Whistling-
Suddenly, a rushing gust of air came from behind. Sonic only slightly turned his body, dodging the attack.
Then he reached out and grabbed—
Fukurou was grabbed by the arm and thrown over his shoulder, before being thrown with force onto the main deck.
There was a loud 'boom' and the thick oak flooring split in place, creating a dent full of cracks. It seemed as if the deck was about to give way.
A strong wind blew up thick dust, which instantly spread around, and many wooden chips flew in all directions.
- Cough-cough- - Fukurou rolled his eyes and spat out a large stream of blood.
But the next second he came to his senses, quickly stood up despite the injury, and hurried away from Sonic.
"He didn't fall…" Sonic looked at Fukurou, who had jumped ten meters away, in surprise, then looked down at his palms and whispered, "It seems that my strength has weakened significantly due to the injury."
- Cough-cough-cough- - At that moment, a cough came from a large hole in the deck, after which a figure jumped out and dropped to one knee.
Sonic took a closer look and saw that it was Jabra, but he looked rather shabby.
Jabra was still in his half-man, half-wolf form. He was breathing heavily, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. He held the blanket with one hand, and with the other he leaned on the wet floor, mixed with rain and blood.
