Chapter 89 Between Life and Death
"die..."
In that instant, Aini's muscles tensed, like a cheetah about to pounce on its prey, and he suddenly unleashed astonishing power!
He suddenly pulled hard on the arm holding the sword, the powerful force like a surging torrent.
Diamanti was completely stunned by this sudden turn of events; his brain hadn't even had time to react.
In the blink of an eye, he felt as if he were being pulled by an invisible, terrifying force, and was involuntarily flying rapidly in the direction of Aini.
In a panic, Diamanti instinctively tried to break free from this terrifying force, but it was too late.
Driven by the instinct to survive, he had to loosen his grip on the sword hilt.
And so, the sword that originally belonged to him fell into Aini's hands so easily.
Without hesitation, Aini raised the stolen sword high and then threw it forward with force.
In an instant, the sword transformed into a streak of cold light, shooting into the air at lightning speed. Fueled by Aini's superhuman strength, the sword seemed to possess inexhaustible power, its speed astonishing, like a bolt of lightning slicing through the night sky.
High in the air, Buffalo had no time to react to what was happening before him. While he was still in a daze, the speeding sword had already pierced through his body like a ghost.
"Pfft..."
With a dull thud, a spurt of scarlet blood gushed from Buffalo's mouth. At the same time, due to the immense impact, he was propelled straight into the air like a cannonball.
In the air, Buffalo's body continued to rise until it reached a certain height, at which point the impact force decreased, and he began to descend slowly.
However, he had already lost consciousness and fell from the sky like a bird struck by an arrow.
"Buffalo!"
Baby-5, still on the pirate ship, gasped in surprise, a look of worry crossing her face. Then she saw her leap off the ship.
They ran towards the spot where Buffalo had fallen.
"A tranquil green!"
Miss Golden Week, who had been waiting there for a while, couldn't possibly miss such a shooting opportunity.
With a flick of her wrist on the palette, a stream of paint transformed into an arrow that shot towards Baby-5. Baby-5 was completely unprepared and was struck directly.
Anyone who comes into contact with green pigment will calmly want to drink tea.
The next second, Baby-5, who had rushed to save the person, immediately calmed down. Her eyes were filled with nothing but calm.
The next moment, I saw her walk up to Miss Golden Week.
The two of them quietly drank their tea together.
"this...."
Diamanti's eyes widened in shock; he hadn't yet recovered from the terrifying power Aini had unleashed. He saw Buffalo pierced through the body by a sword, his fate unknown.
Then, I witnessed this bizarre scene.
It just made his scalp tingle.
A chill ran down his spine, rushing straight to his head, causing cold sweat to seep from his forehead.
This strange ability reminded him of someone: Sugar from their Don Quixote family... though their abilities were different.
But it is equally eerie and chilling.
But immediately, he felt his heart leap into his throat. This feeling was like that of prey being stalked by a falcon.
Life and death hang in the balance.
"brush..."
He turned his head sharply and saw a naval rear admiral slowly walking out from behind the wax wall.
He was being stared at with extremely hostile intent.
Just one glance was enough to send chills down his spine.
"Foldable Portable Weapon: Iron Hammer!"
Diamante is a veteran pirate with a wealth of combat experience. In this unfavorable situation, fleeing is the wisest choice.
But there's no escaping it.
So, there's only one choice left.
That's a fight to the death!
Seizing the initiative is extremely important. So, he took an iron hammer from the cup and smashed it down on Aini.
Diamante has a habit of using the power of the Float-Float Fruit to transform various weapons into a light, floating form, then folding them up for safekeeping and unfolding them for use in battle.
This move, in the original work, shattered Rebecca's helmet.
But for Aini, it's far from enough.
Aini looked at the hammer hurtling towards him with disdain: "Diamanti, is it! You're not qualified to act so presumptuously on my turf."
As soon as she finished speaking, Aini grabbed the hammer that was being swung at her. At the same time, the Flowing Sakura was already wrapped around her hand.
"boom..."
The next second, Aini suddenly exerted force, unleashing his weapon. This directly shattered the inside of the hammer, thus destroying the entire hammer.
"how is this possible?"
Diamanti was so shocked by this that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and he exclaimed in surprise.
However, he reacted quickly.
With a powerful thrust of his legs, he retreated seven or eight meters, staring warily at Aini. At the same time, he pulled another weapon from his pocket.
This time, it's a sword.
It was very similar to the one that Annie had taken from him before; it was also a Western-style sword. His other hand wasn't idle either.
"Death Stardust!"
They pulled out several ceremonial cannons and sprayed countless paper scraps into the air. The light paper scraps transformed into sharp iron balls of thorns high in the sky, and then turned into an impenetrable rain of iron that fell from the sky.
"Fancy... Armored hardening!"
The next second, Aini was covered in Armament Haki. The falling iron rain was like ordinary raindrops, unable to harm Aini in the slightest.
"this..."
Diamanti's eyes widened in surprise, because he had only ever seen this level of Armament Haki on one other person.
That's Vergo.
At this moment, he was even somewhat numb. Because, ever since the tavern incident, he had been shocked countless times.
He gripped the knife tightly in his hand.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Whether I live or die depends on this move."
"Army Flag!"
Diamanti transformed the ground around him into a light, flowing form, like a large piece of cloth fluttering in the wind.
It can cause an opponent to lose their balance and fall, thereby rendering them unable to retaliate. Or it can severely impact their strength.
"interesting..."
Feeling the change beneath her feet, Aini smiled, a hint of disdain in her eyes: "Aren't you underestimating me?"
"A funeral procession lasting half a month!"
Diamanti remained expressionless and did not respond.
He gripped the gleaming longsword tightly with both hands and suddenly raised it upwards. In an instant, an incomparably powerful sword intent surged from his body and gathered entirely on the blade.
Immediately afterwards, he swung his arm, and the longsword shot out like lightning, bringing with it an extremely fierce storm of sword energy.
