A bloody hole had been blown open on his shoulder, causing Yamakaji to cry out miserably as he saw it and felt the intense pain radiating from his injury.
But it was far from over; the electrical current coursing through his body left him numb all over.
It felt as if all the bones and blood flow inside his body had been heavily baptized by the lightning.
This single bullet not only pierced Yamakaji's shoulder but also destroyed dozens of Marine Soldiers behind him, along with the cabins, walls, and everything else in its path.
If one were to discuss pure destructive power, even among The Girls of the Pink Hat Pirates, Shino Asada's lightning power could certainly rank among the best.
Yamakaji was startled by everything that happened behind him.
As expected of lightning power, the destructive force was truly astonishing.
Suddenly, however, he felt danger again. When he turned his head, he immediately realized that Shino Asada had appeared right in front of him without him knowing when.
A bayonet stabbed down, and he quickly used his sword to block it, causing sparks to fly, but Shino Asada immediately followed up with a kick, sending him flying once more. The smile was gone from Yamakaji's face.
He was kicked away, crashing directly into the railing, and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. Just like real lightning, Shino Asada's attacks were fast, accurate, and vicious.
"Damn it, you crazy female pirates, are you really not afraid of the Navy?"
After struggling to stand up again, seeing Shino Asada walking toward him, Yamakaji couldn't help but curse, trying to sound fierce despite his inner fear.
"Haha, we kill you Marines. The Pink Hat Pirates are ruthless to everyone, but we are the most ruthless to you Marines," Shino Asada said with a cold laugh.
Then, a bayonet stabbed forward. She activated her lightning power, increasing her speed.
Yamakaji was instantly unable to block it; his chest was directly slashed by the bayonet, scattering blood. That wasn't all—Shino Asada delivered a devastating right hook coated in Armament Haki directly to his face.
Yamakaji was sent flying again, landing on the deck behind the bow.
"Kill the Marine Soldiers, capture the Marine Vice Admirals alive." But at this moment, Luna, who had already eliminated all the Marines inside the cabins of the Navy Warships where the Pink Hat Pirates had originally appeared, walked out.
She glanced at the Pink Hat Pirates, where the five strongest of The Girls were already suppressing their respective Vice Admiral opponents, who were barely able to fight back.
She immediately stepped forward and spoke, stating that although these five Vice Admirals deserved to die, they were still useful to her.
Furthermore, it wouldn't be too late to kill these guys in a future battle; after all, they were just minor characters who would slowly be eliminated later on.
They were just slightly larger ants within the Navy.
Hearing this, Kuina and the other four immediately paused, softening their attacks considerably, as the Vice Admirals in front of them had to be captured alive.
However, Carmen, Nojiko, and Kaya did not have such concerns, as they were not facing Marine Vice Admirals; they simply needed to kill.
The three quickly arrived at their target warships. Kaya was the fastest among the three, after all, she was light.
"Angel Thousand Feathers." Countless angelic wings, like those of the Heavenly Dao, flew out from the six angel wings behind Kaya, shooting out like a volley of arrows, killing an unknown number of Marines below.
Arriving on the deck, Kaya, holding the angel dawn spear, performed the Angel Holy Spear Technique, harvesting the lives of the surrounding Marines as gracefully as an angel dancing.
With a single sweep of the spear, five Marine Soldiers rushing forward with swords and knives had their weapons severed by Kaya's strike, and a bloody mark appeared on their necks. They finally collapsed weakly into a pool of blood, their eyes filled with unwillingness and stupefaction.
"Bang, bang, bang." Soldiers holding flintlock rifles in the distance immediately fired at Kaya. The bullets flew out of the barrels at extreme speed, but Kaya easily deflected them with a flourish of her spear.
A fierce look flashed in Kaya's eyes. With a wide sweep of her spear, a golden Flying Slash instantly eliminated the Marines who had fired, engulfing them in golden sword energy.
Kaya was slaughtering all around her, fighting like a true angel descended to the mortal world.
"Falling Needles Containing Snow." Flying into the air and looking down at the warship crowded with Marine Soldiers, Nojiko smiled slightly. She performed two graceful spins while suspended in mid-air, instantly condensing cold air in her hands to form a large number of ice needles.
Nojiko had learned this move from Kaya. Although it was slightly slower, its attack power was in no way inferior to Kaya's Angel Thousand Feathers.
