Chapter 62
Leah glared at the opposing ship. It was at least three times larger than her ship. She didn't know why Big Mom was after her cook, but now is not the time to ask questions. She pulled out her sword and pointed it at the opposing ship.
"Annie, Andy is the canon ready?" She asked the gun smiths.
"Yes captain!" The two shouted.
"Fire." The canon fired on the enemy ship only for the canon ball to be sliced in half revealing a woman with long legs, silver hair, tan skin, and a helmet on her head.
"Smoothie!" Truffle shouted.
"Someone we should know?" William asked.
"She is one of Big Mom's four sweet commanders." Truffle said. "Of all her children those four are the strongest."
"Well, I need to see where I am in terms of strength." Leah said. "Annie, Andy prep the canon, everyone else prepare to fight!"
"Yes captain!" The crew shouted.
On the enemy ship Smoothie sighed in frustration. "Prepare to board!" She ordered.
"Yeah!" An army of pirates shouted.
They were about to start the boarding preparations, there was a shift in the air. The sweet commander stiffed, but quickly pulled out her sword and blocked an attack from Leah.
The two struggled, their swords creating sparks, haki being unleashed knocking half of smoothie's pirates. The two glared at each other.
The Big Mom pirates that were still conscious followed the commander's orders. They were not going to fall short of her expectations. The pirates started to swing onto the Red Dragon only to be met with Atlanta's hammer, Todo's fists, or William's whip.
"There are going to be more coming!" Atlanta shouted.
Back with the fight between Smoothie and Leah, the two swung their swords at each other only for them to intercept each other. This went on for a few seconds Smoothie kicked the captain in the stomach sending into the cabin. The commander looked at the hole she created and scoffed.
"Is this what the daughter of Red-Haired Shank's is capable of."
A group of ten rifle men up to the commander. "Commander Smoothie!" They shouted.
She turned to them. "What's the status?"
"Unsuccessful mam, the enemy crew have been knocking our men into the ocean." The head rifle man answered.
"I guess it was too much to ask for the enemy crew to be a bunch of pushovers." Smoothie said before muttering. "Wish Brulee was here it would make things easier."
She then grabbed the head rifle man and started squeezing him. "Commander Smoothie…?" He asked desperately.
She raised the rifle man over her head and started to squeeze juice from his body and drink it. "Please stop." He pleaded desperately.
He screamed until every drop of juice was squeezed out of his body. The commander then carelessly dropped the dried-out husk onto the deck.
"I will go and assist with retrieving Truffle, the rest of you fire at anything that tries to leave that hole." She ordered pointing at the hole.
She walked past the riflemen as they set up a firing line aiming at the center of the hole. None looking at either Commander Smoothie or their now dead comrade. She took two steps and was about to make a third when she felt a large wave of haki press down on her.
Turning around, she found the riflemen on the floor bleeding profusely. She couldn't see who cut down her men, but suddenly her instincts and reflexes kicked in and raised her sword just in time before she could be cut.
After a brief struggle the two separated. Smoothie noticing a change in her opponent. She couldn't describe it, her opponent looked almost feral. This wouldn't deter her as she would not fail mama.
