Hearing the sound of another mechanism, Moyo ducked down to let three poison arrows pass above him. But already, Kamy's foot appeared in front of him. Only able to position one arm in front of him, Moyo felt the stiletto heel of Kamy's shoe hit his wrist.
Feeling like his arm was being stabbed, the man groaned, letting the force of the impact force him to step back. Finding himself away from Kamy, he managed to get up, before seeing her simply walking towards him.
"YOU..." The man roared, getting more and more annoyed.
Trying to kick the maid's shin with his foot, Moyo saw her gracefully dodge the blow, jumping up, before pointing the palm of her hand at Moyo's face. The next moment, a powerful slap hit Moyo's cheek, as his head tilted all the way to the right, while his neck nearly snapped.
Collapsing to the floor, he barely heard Kamy's feet land on the floor, while the maid kept a calm face.
"Moyo-san, if you want to hope to hurt me, I suggest you use your brain! Unfortunately for you, mindlessly trying to hit me won't win you."
"Tssss! Stop talking with your stoic face."
Getting up again, while spitting blood, Moyo affirmed.
"I fought hundreds of people! Some were good and just wanted to protect their country and many others were just assholes who waged war just for money or to satisfy their murderous impulses."
Staring at Kamy, he declared.
"A person who is complicit in carnage cannot put on a face like yours! Be honest and show me your true face."
Showing a hint of surprise on her face, the maid finally sighed. Then, looking slightly embarrassed, she declared.
"Sorry if my answer upsets you, Moyo-san, but...this is my real face! I'm not trying to hide any mad smile or evil side inside of me! Why? Just, I don't have it."
" Sorry ? "
"The murderers you fought must have put on cruel smiles or said they were proud of the murders they had done! And I'm sure killing innocent people was their favorite pastime! That's the difference between them and me. "
"What difference are you talking to me about?"
"These people knew they were doing horrible things! It's true that I help Hyou-sama killed people but... how could I consider myself a bad person, knowing that I'm potentially saving lives to thousands of innocent people?
"Tssss! That's your excuse ? Don't mess with me."
"What's the problem?" Kamy questioned. "We listened to your conversation when you were with Ace-san and the others! You claimed that a mercenary like you could be considered a simple soldier! So I think you are the best person to understand that I regards as an executioner of the Navy."
Staring at Moyo seriously, she declared.
"The executioners who work in the Navy kill hundreds of prisoners every year, yet no one considers them murderers! Why? Because they execute bad people! It's the same here! Consider this mansion as a prison and Hyou-sama as the warden! No matter what they've done, criminals who go to jail never get out except when they're executed! Hyou-sama is a good man! "Instead of letting them die here torturing them for months or years, he makes sure to kill them in an instant! Isn't that the best death those rotten people can get? They should thank him for that."
"Tsssss! So, if you joined this old crouton, it is to be able to be considered as a vigilante?"
"Not at all! If I'm helping him, it's to avenge Hyou-sama's daughter."
Suddenly, still displaying a calm face, Kamy conjured up a tear that ran down her cheek.
"The way she was killed...the way her family was slaughtered...the sadness Hyou-sama felt upon seeing their corpses...is more than enough for me to understand that criminals must be eradicate."
Suddenly snapping back into a fighting stance, she declared.
"Moyo-san...this is your last chance! Let god purge your sins by helping Hyou-sama exterminate the criminals of this world."
"I refuse." Moyo retorted. " Sorry, but ... "
Thinking of the members of his mercenary group, he declared.
"The guys who are my friends...they were former thugs who thought violence was the only way for them to survive! But today they're respectable guys, who I'm proud of."
Staring at Kamy, he declared.
"There are assholes who will never change and others who are simply waiting to meet someone who could guide them to a more admirable life! But it is certainly not my role to slaughter them all, without knowing why they have decided to become who they are now."
Listening to him remaining still, Kamy replied.
"Very well! That's your point of view and I respect it! But I hope you won't regret those words, once I kill you."
"I'm waiting to see that." Moyo retorted, smiling confidently.
Unfortunately, Kamy's knee hit his face and the man stepped back again.
Dodging Nodeath's fist, Karly aimed his own fist at his opponent's face. Immediately, the impact was pushed back Nodeath, while his mask was shattered into pieces. Unfortunately, as he let his body recoil, he felt Karly grab his collar to stop him, before punching him a second time in the face.
Reacting in time, Nodeath covered his face in haki and used it to protect himself. Despite this, the force of the impact knocked him back until his back hit a wall. Having followed him, Karly found himself in front of him and began to hit him with hallucinating speed. Unable to retaliate, Nodeath felt his face and abdomen hit repeatedly, while cracks appeared on the wall behind him.
Getting ready to finish him, Karly raised his fist in the air, before bringing down him with all his might to pulverize Nodeath's skull. Unfortunately, simply smiling, the man withstood the attack, the power of which stirred up the dust that was around the two men.
Groaning, Karly then backed up and saw Nodeath who, standing, had joined his hands together, while bending his legs. Having adopted a position, which seemed to have helped him to withstand the attack, the man had not even used the haki to protect himself from Karly's last punch. Barely having a few bruises on his face, Nodeath continued to smile, while affirming.
"I'm very impressed! Karly-san…it's true that the Navy doesn't allow just anyone to become a Navy Vice Admiral."
"I'm flattered...especially since this is said from the mouth of a former South-Blue legend! Hihyda...known to be the best bounty hunter in South-Blue! I who was asked, he three years ago, what you had become, I realize that you found a boss quite different from the others."
"Hihyda no longer exists." The man retorted, bending down to pick up the pieces of his mask. "It's been six years since he died and instead Nodeath appeared! And do you know why I call myself that? Simply because no one is capable of killing me."
"Tssss! I see you don't know modesty." Karly remarked.
" It's the truth though. " Nodeath retorted. "Many times I should have died and yet...I am still alive! Even after meeting this man..."
Thinking of a man with an inverted crescent moon mustache, he growled.
" Whitebeard. "
"I heard about that." Karly affirmed. "Six years ago, it seems that you and your whole team that you worked with tried to tackle him."
"It wasn't just us." Nodeath retorted. "We were six people who had formed an alliance with other bounty hunters so that our number reached a hundred individuals! At that time, each of us had managed to forge a reputation known throughout the world and each of us could face a pirate whose bounty was worth 50 million berries! To tell the truth, even though I was a legend at South-Blue, I was only the fourth most powerful member of my team, who had grown up in the Grand Line."
Clenching his fist, while thinking of many destroyed boats and bodies floating on the surface of a rough ocean, he roared.
"And yet...it was all useless! Our alliance...my companions...they were all exterminated! Whitebeard...he pulverized them all! Every one of them died and yet...I managed to survive! I survived the power of Whitebeard... I survived the explosion of the boat I was on... I survived for five days, in the middle of a storm, while just hanging on to a weight board...and I also survived when another pirate crew attacked me to kill me."
Staring at Karly, he assured.
"I kept surviving and even started having fun to see how far my immortality could go! I fought entire crews by myself and sometimes even let myself get hurt on purpose to find out if that was going to be enough to kill me! And yet, nothing worked! And it wasn't until I met Hyou-sama that I understood..."
Showing a look filled with conviction, he assured.
"It was god who gave me this power! It was he who kept me from dying so that I could understand the destiny he had formed for me! He wanted me to exterminate all the pirates world and give me a chance to avenge my companions! Yes, I understood that I was above humans! I am a superior being."
"Really?" Asked Karly. "So you now think you can kill Whitebeard? Don't make me laugh."
"SHUT UP!" Roared Nodeath. "I don't want to hear a Navy soldier criticize me! You're all good for nothing! You're useless! Hundreds of pirates sail the oceans of this world and you do nothing to stop them! That's why Hyou-sama lost his family and he is forced to do your job! Thanks to his efforts, he killed hundreds of criminals, many of whom had a bounty! And thanks to that, he is accumulating a huge fortune! With this money, he will be able to create more and more sophisticated weapons and manage to create the weapon that will allow me to avenge my companions! It's only a matter of time . "
"I understand what you're trying to say or what you're feeling." Karly affirmed. "Nevertheless, I think you're just chasing a pipe dream."
Suddenly, he positioned his arm in front of him to stop Nodeath's fist.
"STOP THINKING YOU ARE SUPERIOR TO ME!"
But immediately, Karly's fist hit his abdomen, and again, the vice admiral punched him many times, being as fast as a machine gun and as powerful as a cannon. And yet, withstanding the attacks, Nodeath asserted.
"Do you know why I hated my father? He was the master of a dojo! And to train me, he forced me to stand still and get hit by many adults! Fists, wooden swords, bamboo swords, metal weapons... Every day, for years, I stood still and let myself be hit without reacting! When I was a child, I felt an unparalleled hatred for my father! But today, I thank him. "
Suddenly, the heel of his foot hit Karly's side and managed to send him flying up to a wall.
"Because today, I know for a fact that none of your punches will be able to do me the slightest harm. " Nodeath assured.
"Grrrr ! "
Seeing Karly being pushed away, Moyo stood up, groaning, as blood dripped out of his crushed nose.
" DAMN IT ! "
Nevertheless, Kamy found herself in front of him again.
"Let me break your neck to end your suffering." The maid offered, pointing her hands at him.
Clapping her hands hard to knock them back, Moyo again attempted to hit Kamy with a punch. Despite her sore hands, Kamy managed to rest them on Moyo's fist again to deflect its trajectory.
"Moyo-san, you can't..."
Suddenly, she fell silent as she felt her energy disappear.
"What...?" She wondered, lowering her gaze.
Feeling her fingers touch a metallic surface, she noticed that a brass knuckles now surrounded the fingers of Moyo's hand.
" How ... ? "
"Hyou isn't the only one using seastone to defeat Devil Fruit users." Moyo assured.
And, taking advantage of the maid's surprise and the fact that she could no longer use her power, he managed to free his fist, which ended up hitting Kamy's abdomen.
"Here is the power of a mercenary who has fought all his life."
Spitting blood, Kamy felt the power of the attack throw her backwards, before crashing into the desk where Hyou was.
"Kamy-chan?" The man wondered.
Suddenly, crossing his fingers, he created a barrier in front of him, which stopped the foot of Moyo, who had tried to kick the old man. Grinning, Moyo was now standing on Hyou's desk, as he put a second brass knuckles around his fingers.
"Now that this woman is defeated, all I have to do is get rid of you! And no matter how thick your barrier, she won't withstand seastone."
Then, his fist moved towards Hyou's barrier. However, Hyou purposely made it disappear before pressing a button that was on his wheelchair. And immediately Moyo heard the noises of various mechanisms and, jumping in fear, he saw several guns coming out of the back of the wheelchair and starting to aim at him.
"SHIT!" he roared, jumping back.
Unfortunately, several projectiles were fired and some pierced the flesh of the man. Spitting blood, Moyo nearly fell to his knees. But before he could do so, Kamy's hand hit his abdomen and managed to make him fly backwards.
Unable to resist this powerful attack, the mercenary crashed into a wall, before collapsing to the ground. Massaging her stomach, Kamy confessed.
"Moyo-san...you really surprised me! This proves that I'm not good enough yet to protect Hyou-sama effectively."
Unable to say anything, Moyo heard another mechanism. And, only being able to raise his gaze, he saw a part of the ceiling detach and fall towards him.
Simply smiling, Hyou saw a real column of cement leaving the ceiling to crush Moyo's body. However, he was surprised when he saw her stop. It being noted in extremis, Moyo had raised his hands in the air and had managed to use powerful muscles to stop the column of cement.
Unfortunately, having to use all his power to avoid being crushed, he began to cough up blood, while feeling his injuries deteriorate.
"Moyo-san...why would you want to prolong your tortures?" Hyou questioned, while pointing a gun at him.
Grimacing at first, Moyo finally smiled, as he heard the bones of his arms snapping. Knowing full well that he was doomed, he stared at Hyou, while declaring.
"I just wanted to tell you something...if you touch my homies...I'll be waiting for you in hell and I'll make you regret it."
The next moment a sound of detonation was heard and a projectile had struck Moyo's forehead. Quickly feeling his muscles relax, the man's body rocked back, as the cement column was able to continue its fall.
Smiling, seeing her start crushing him, Moyo muttered.
" I regret nothing. "
Then, the next moment, his whole body was crushed under the cement column. Having heard the crashing noise, Karly groaned, while seeing a veritable pool of blood begin to form under the cement column.
" Damn it. "
Suddenly, Nodeath's hand grabbed his head and smashed it against a wall.
" It's time to end this. " Nodeath assured, as he had just triggered a new trap.
Appearing next to Karly's head, a circular saw began to spin, before closing in on the Vice Admiral's head. Immediately, Karly covered the skin of her neck with haki. But already, Nodeath hit him hard to knock him out.
" Not even in dreams. "
And suddenly, running towards them, Kamy hit the vice admiral's abdomen, with the palm of his hand, while Nodeath hit him again in the face. Spitting saliva and blood, Karly then felt the circular blade touch the skin of his neck before going through his flesh.
" DAAAADDDDDDDDDDDD ! "
Running at top speed, Cavendish and Isuka attempted to leave the hallway they were in, as numerous parts of the ceiling broke loose, allowing columns of cement to fall and crash to the floor.
"It's all your fault." Isuka roared.
" SHUT UP AND RUN ! "
A few moments after separating from Karly and Moyo, the duo had stopped while the corridor they had taken had ended in a dead end. Frustrated, Cavendish had decided to vent his rage by kicking the wall in front of them.
And immediately, the traps had triggered and forced the pair to flee.
Finally, they had very quickly returned to the place where their group had split up and taken the path that Karly and Moyo had taken.
And a few seconds later, they perceived the double-door which was in front of them.
"SAVED!" the duo shouted, jumping before passing through the opening of the double doors.
Behind them, the traps stopped activating, allowing them to catch their breath.
"Finally." Isuka rejoiced.
"Grrrr! This mansion really annoys me." Cavendish roared, looking ahead. "And where are we?"
His eyes widened. Ahead of him, he saw a column of cement, while a pool of blood could be seen below, as well as an arm, which hadn't been crushed. Recognizing the sleeve that covered that arm, he declared.
"This jacket...Moyo was wearing an identical one."
" I confirm it's his arm. " Hyou affirmed.
Seeing the old man, still behind his desk, Cavendish was about to say something, when something was thrown at him. Barely understanding what was happening, Isuka saw the object fall to the ground and turned pale when he saw that it was a head.
" Kar ... Karly-san ? "
Being next to the former vice admiral's body, Nodeath and Kamy looked at the duo, while declaring.
"They weren't strong enough to leave this mansion! How about you?"
Displeased, Cavendish and Isuka stood up, before grabbing their swords.
"You're dead." Cavnedish affirmed.
"Oh? Did we kill your friends?"
"Baka." Retorted the blonde. "Even if they were still alive, I would have made you regret cheating on me and wanting to kill me! Nevertheless…"
Thinking back to the fact that Moyo had saved his life, he declared.
"I have a debt to repay and I will take advantage of it to make it disappear."
Immediately, he ran towards Nodeath. Nevertheless, he felt Kamy's hand grab his wrist. Then, the next second, she gave him a judo-like move and swung him over her shoulder. Before he could even comprehend it, Cavendish felt his back hit the ground.
" ARRRRRGGGGGGHHHH ! "
Then Kamy's palm pit positioned above his face, while the maid affirmed.
"Stand still and I promise you I'll destroy your skull with a single strike."
Nevertheless, the tip of the sword moved towards her face, while Isuka decided to stop her. Unfortunately, Nodeath's fist hit Isuka's forearm, managing to break it in one strike. Screaming in pain, the lieutenant dropped his gun. Taking advantage, Nodeath's foot moved towards her face, before striking her.
For her part, no longer embarrassed, Kamy held the palm of her hand up to Cavendish's face. However, opening his eyes, Cavendish rolled onto his side and Kamy's hand could only crush the man's hat.
Then getting up, Cavendish saw Isuka on the ground, while Nodeath walked towards her. For his part, Kamy targeted the blond and decided to stop him from fighting his companion.
"Cavendish-san...it looks like it's over for you."
" Really ? "
Aiming his sword at her again, he declared.
"I'll slash you before you can even see it."
"I will be curious to see that."
