Alice had a smooth incision on her lower abdomen.
With a scream, the indifferent assassin licked her lips in satisfaction, a deep, sickly blush creeping onto her cheeks.
The night is a forest, and she is an ancient purple python swaying in the forest, easily crushing all resistance and swallowing all blood.
She is the queen of the night, above all living beings, standing at the top of the food chain.
"A girl as lovely as you must have a very warm heart~"
Just as she picked up her scimitar to deliver a fatal blow, she suddenly heard the roar of a circular saw behind her. Even though she dodged to the side and counterattacked, the dazzling sparks still shot towards her in a straight line.
"Cut the flesh and sever the bones!"
The violent, lashing sound of a circular saw, like a storm, pierced the eardrums and strongly shook the sense of hearing.
The sound of sawing came! The killing intent surged! The sudden killing intent was almost as thick as blood.
Impacted by this murderous intent, the assassin hurriedly blocked with his knife and retreated rapidly.
The ghost shark exuded black energy and had a cold gaze. It tightened its grip on the circular saw and hurled her down the building until it crashed into a deep crater before finally coming to a stop.
"How interesting, do you also want my love~"
The assassin licked the blood from his lips, his eyes glazed over, and laughed arrogantly.
The clouds outside the window drifted slowly by, revealing a crimson full moon.
Blood-red moonlight streamed down, illuminating the assassin's face.
She wore a daring black strapless dress with an exaggerated V-neck that almost extended to her lower abdomen. Her long legs, tightly wrapped in stockings, were faintly visible beneath the high slit of the waist-length dress, making her appear alluring and wanton.
Under the full moon, this incredibly voluptuous woman with a head of black hair, in stark contrast to her serene demeanor and gentle tone, had a smile like that of a python flicking its tongue, harboring an indescribable darkness.
"The Heart Hunter - Hilt?"
Arriving late, Ai Yin forced herself to stay awake, her voice almost hoarse.
"Oh my, I didn't expect anyone to still remember me~"
Hilt sucked the blood from his scimitar and rubbed his flushed cheeks with his gloved hand.
"Hmm? Explain in detail." Ghost Shark and Hilt were locked in a stalemate, and he asked briefly.
"Hilter the Heart Hunter, a renowned assassin in the underworld, and also a master swordsman. His greatest achievement was successfully assassinating a Shichibukai..."
Ai Yin rattled off her story in one breath, then added, "But that was ten years ago, and there's been no news since."
“By the way, the reason she’s called the Heart Hunter…” she said, a look of disgust on her face as she took a step back, “is because after she succeeds, she’ll disembowel herself, take out the heart, enjoy it for a while, and then leave.”
"That's it, Specter. Do you want me to be your sweetheart?"
Hilt's laughter was gentle, sounding like a neighbor's wife whose husband was away, but her hands never stopped moving. Her Gurkha scimitar was wrapped in Armament Haki, and she repelled Specter Shark with a single strike. She then used her hands to support herself as she did a backflip to stand up.
"Huh? Why is the corpse talking?"
The Specter retorted coldly, shooting forward at an unpredictable speed, several times faster than before. By the time Hilt reacted, the domineering circular saw had already shredded her internal organs.
"Return to the Deep: The Desire for Survival!"
Hilt stared in disbelief at the circular saw that was halfway inside her. With a whoosh, the circular saw suddenly started spinning inside her stomach, like lightning and thunder.
Her eyes rolled back suddenly, and she felt as if snakes and insects were gnawing at her stomach. With a loud "whoosh," blood spurted out like an exploding water balloon, spraying blood all over the ground.
Just kidding, this was a blow that seriously injured the Golden Lion!
"How can it be..."
Before she could finish speaking, the other person stepped on her lower abdomen, grabbed her hair and lifted her up. At the same time, they squatted down and reached out, and the blood on the ground instantly transformed into sharp spikes that pierced her body, forming skewers.
Adding some shredded ginger would make it even more perfect.
"You think you're worthy to assassinate me? Consider your two arms as an apology to Alice."
Ghost Shark patted her cheek, then clenched his right hand, instantly turning the splattered blood in the sky into two sharp knives. With two soft sounds, Hilt's two arms were severed at the root.
"Hum hum..."
The girl frowned, but the expected pain did not come. Instead, she heard Hilt's ambiguous mocking laughter. Two streaks of blood flowed from her eyes, and her tone was frivolous.
"Parasitic Power Feedback!"
A soft, alluring voice drifted down from the alleyway.
The next moment, most of the marines behind Specter went limp and collapsed to the ground, becoming extremely weak.
Ain, Lark, Haiya, and Muse all looked pained, their expressions contorted.
Ghost Shark suddenly opened his eyes, his face extremely pale.
According to his perception, his subordinate's life force was rapidly fading away, and if it dragged on any longer, he would die from exhaustion.
In contrast, Hilt's strength is increasing at an exaggerated rate. He has become taller, more agile, and all his injuries have been healed, as if he has been reborn.
"Pathetic insect, you know nothing of power!" Hilt lightly swung his fist, unleashing a massive sonic boom with an aura that engulfed heaven and earth, sweeping away everything in its path.
Boom!
The tavern in front of us, the houses in the distance, the streetlights shining brightly at night—all were reduced to dust by this one punch, leaving behind a barbaric and desolate landscape, utterly clean.
"Do you see that? Absolute control!"
*Snap!* Hilt snapped his fingers, and the next moment, the Navy immediately launched into a chaotic battle.
"Go to hell, hahaha!"
"Bastard! Eat your..."
Grandpa fired a Navy Iaijutsu!
"Damn brat, watch my Little Evil God Flying Kick!"
A navy officer beheaded the man in front of him, while behind him, another navy officer with a gun pierced the man's heart with a bang. Within a short time, several familiar figures fell to the ground.
Apart from officers of sergeant rank and above who are slightly stronger, they can barely control themselves in the face of that consciousness.
Every single rank and file member of the naval force was caught in a riot, and lives were being lost at an alarming rate.
"Blood manipulation!" Specter reacted swiftly, stopping the Marines' chaotic fight in an instant, and then used Conqueror's Haki to stun them.
After some maneuvering, the situation was finally brought under control.
But within sight alone, there were no fewer than ten sailors lying in pools of blood.
“I almost forgot, you’re capable of doing this too.” Seeing this, Hilt said with amusement, then drew his scimitar and unleashed a slash.
"...How should I respond to your disrespect?"
The shadows concealed Ghost Shark's vision. She pressed one hand against her tricorn hat, tilted her head slightly, and easily dodged the incoming slash.
Her gaze gradually dimmed as she reached out and dragged the raging circular saw, walking step by step toward Hilt, dodging the dense barrage of slashes as she slightly turned her body.
“This is…” Ai Yin leaned on the knife to steady herself and looked at the white-haired figure.
At this moment, her aura was frighteningly gloomy.
Alice made a shushing gesture and said softly, "Lauren Tina is angry. This is the first time I've ever seen her like this."
"Oh, are you angry? What an adorable reaction~" Across from Specter, Hilt said excitedly, her breathing ragged, and with a flirtatious tone, "Even an army can't stop me, so what chance do you have?"
“And…” Hilt held up a finger, his smile licentious, “the more wounds I suffer, the faster your lovely comrades will die~”
"So stop struggling. I am a parasite who ate the parasite fruit. Anyone I have possessed will have my seed left behind, and they have completely taken my shape."
Hilt wielded his twin swords, his strikes as swift as afterimages, each one like a cluster of falling stars.
"My heart is mine, my strength is mine..."
She charged forward suddenly, her sharp Gurkha knife radiating a throat-slitting power.
“In the end, even my soul will be mine~” Hilt smiled as he delivered his strongest attack.
"Parasitism - Supreme Technique - Breaking Army!"
"Returning to the Sea - Survival..."
The ghost shark vanished abruptly, only to reappear before its opponent with incredible speed the next moment, swiftly changing its attack. Its circular saw, as if responding to anger, turned a bloodthirsty red.
"...Heavy pressure!"
She raised the circular saw high above her head, carrying a vast will to kill with a single blow, and cleaved it down!

Hilt's purple slash shattered in less than a second, freezing the smile on the face of this top assassin.
"My power..."
boom!
With Mead Town as the dividing point, a crack that splits Crescent Island spread wildly, and the surviving residents experienced an 8-magnitude earthquake that night, making the entire island teeter on the brink of collapse.
“Are you…are you kidding me!”
Hilt, who had been driven all the way underground, choked on a cloud of blood mist. Her manners and elegance vanished. She glanced at the girl who had disemboweled her, her face contorted with rage and madness.
Since that's the case, let's all die together!

An arm covered in Armament Haki gripped her throat.
The ghost shark's eyes flashed with murderous intent, which permeated the air under the full moon, melting into the air and condensing into deathly frost in every chilling place.
"You think I'd let you use it a second time?"
Excessive domineering aura can negate one's abilities.
Although Specter's Haki level is rather awkward, only at the level of a Shichibukai, it's still enough to deal with assassins of the same level.
Are their abilities restricted?
What a caring boss he is!
Hilt's expression was hidden in the shadows, and her voice changed from madness to softness again.
"Hehehehahaha..." She laughed, her eyebrows arching in a wide smile, her eyes sparkling. "Oh dear, don't be so heartless~"
"Even if you kill me, the seeds that parasitize the entire island will grow into another me. My Devil Fruit ability will continue to activate even after I die."
Under the moonlight, Hilt's expression was serious, and two bloodstains appeared under her other eye. She reached out, dipped her hand in the blood, and licked it with relish. "That's great. How about we kill your subordinates together?"
Ghost Shark remained indifferent, gripping the circular saw in one hand, continuing to shred and tear apart the opponent's flesh.
“You won’t kill anyone by slashing there.” Hilt didn’t even blink, tilting her head cutely and temptingly saying, “Aim for my neck, use that last strike, I really felt it~”
"Don't let your guard down, Colonel Specter. Our strength is still waning, and she's secretly recovering it!"
Having lost most of her strength, Ain was almost kneeling beside the knife, fighting against the foreign will within her while offering words of warning.
Alice, who was treating the wounded, listened to these words and looked thoughtfully at the arrogant Heart Hunter in the crevice. She clasped her hands together in prayer, and a golden arrow condensed in front of her.
The gospel resides at your fingertips...
Her body was slightly bent like a fully drawn bowstring, and suddenly she released an illusory arrow...
"If we've been discovered, there's nothing we can do about it."
Hilt smiled and glanced at Ain, his gaze concealing...
The darkness continued, and then her wounds healed again. Her smile seemed to mock the girl's powerlessness in the face of her injuries.
The parasitic seed provides her with energy every moment, but it cannot adjust its power after being restricted by the Specter Shark's Haki.
In short, she is recovering every moment; even if she is disemboweled or her heart is shattered, she can recover quickly.
Meanwhile, upon hearing what Ain said, Specter quickly sorted out the current situation in his mind and paused for a rare moment.
The Heart Hunter, Hilt, is clearly a large group of parasitic hosts. She is currently the newborn of this group, but once she dies, another version of her could very well be born among the hosts of Crescent Moon Island.
"Your original body is dead, so your new body will not have the Devil Fruit ability or this swordsmanship."
Ghost Shark regained his composure, grabbed her hair and lifted her up again, then slammed the saw into her stomach. The shockwave traveled from her lower abdomen to her back, like a dull drum exploding.
*Pfft!* Hilt suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, laughing maniacally as blood mixed with saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth.
"So what? But don't forget, the other parasites will eventually lose their power and die."
