Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Let's Catch a Sea King for Fun
"Ding! Host has successfully used the [Terumi Mei] character card. Remaining possession uses: -1."
Since Terumi Mei was a Mizukage, Rikuya Kazama summoned her without hesitation.
Immediately after, Rikuya stepped onto the deck and shouted:
"Water Style: Boiling Torrent!"
In the next moment, a loud clap of thunder echoed from the sky, and then a massive waterfall came crashing down from above like a furious tidal wave.
Seeing this, the three people on the deck were completely stunned!
"What the hell kind of Devil Fruit power is that?!"
"That's insane! Captain Rikuya can summon the forces of nature!"
"What other abilities is this guy hiding?"
While the three were still busy discussing, the waterfall smashed into the sea surface.
In an instant, the previously calm and windless ocean turned violently turbulent!
Sure enough, a ferocious sea beast the size of about a third of their ship burst out of the water almost immediately.
"Take it down!" Rikuya shouted at Crocodile behind him.
Crocodile had already been prepared. As soon as the Sea King surfaced, he dashed to the edge of the deck and raised his right hand.
"Sand Bind!"
In the next second, a stream of fine sand shot from Crocodile's hand like a bullet.
The sand struck the Sea King's head and clung tightly to it.
At the same time, the sand formed a rope-like tether, with Crocodile gripping the other end firmly.
With this setup, Crocodile could directly control the Sea King.
The beast tried to struggle at first, but the sand rope held it too tightly!
Unable to approach Crocodile, the Sea King had no choice but to try fleeing instead.
"Quick, keep it under control and steer it toward that tree-covered island over there!" Rikuya ordered.
Crocodile nodded and channeled his power through his right hand to dominate the Sea King.
Fortunately, Crocodile was naturally strong, so after a short struggle, the Sea King gave up resisting.
Soon, under Crocodile's control, the creature swam swiftly toward Amazon Lily.
As they neared the island, a large ship suddenly appeared nearby.
"We've been spotted!" Bartolomeo immediately noticed the vessel.
"Probably one of Amazon Lily's patrol ships. Should we attack?" Douglas Bullet asked.
"Keep them alive. Let them take us to their queen," Rikuya said with narrowed eyes.
"Got it!"
With that, Douglas Bullet charged to the edge of the deck and launched himself into the air with a powerful leap.
Meanwhile, the women on the patrol ship, who were holding spears, were just about to shout something to Rikuya's crew—when suddenly, a shadow came flying toward them.
"Enemy incoming! Everyone prepare for battle!" a blonde woman with curled hair yelled.
But the next moment, Bullet landed heavily on their deck, causing the entire structure to tremble.
Cracks spread from beneath his feet, splintering the wooden deck outward like a spiderweb.
"Attack! Kill him!" shouted Marguerite, one of Amazon Lily's elite warriors.
However, by then, Bullet's body was already wrapped in a red aura of Armament Haki.
He didn't take these women seriously—he simply didn't know how strong they were yet.
Two female warriors lunged forward with their spears, aiming straight for him.
But Bullet didn't even dodge. He let them strike him directly.
Clang! Clang!
The sharp, iron-tipped spears struck his body—only to bounce off harmlessly.
Marguerite was utterly shocked.
"Is he a Devil Fruit user?!"
In that moment, panic began to set in. It was clear these people were on a whole different level. She had to report to their empress, Boa Hancock, immediately!
But before she could make a move, she saw that Bullet had already defeated every soldier on the deck.
The entire fight had lasted just ten seconds!
Marguerite's body trembled uncontrollably.
"Wh-Who are you people?! This is Amazon Lily—the island of women—ruled by our empress, who is also one of the Shichibukai appointed by the World Government!
You better leave now while you still can, or we'll make sure you're all buried at sea!"
"Hmph. We came for your empress."
Douglas Bullet smirked with disdain, then leapt forward.
Marguerite tried to lift her bow to shoot an arrow, but Bullet's fist was already flying toward her face.
Instinctively, she raised her arm to block, but the moment she made contact with his punch—
Crack!
A sharp, chilling sound rang out.
In the next instant, her whole body was flung backward like a kite with its string cut, pain coursing through every bone.
Boom!
She slammed hard onto the deck, coughing up blood the moment she landed.
