Vivi and Robin versus a CP0 agent was quite deadly. In that battle, Vivi and Robin adopted no strategic planning and continued to attack.
It was a bloody battle, but it was also a battle of equal powers.
Another battle was going on at the same time. Unlike the other battles, the power gap between the two enemies in each level was massive.
So, to close the gap and win this battle, the Great Captain Usopp used the most basic fighting strategies.
Guerilla Warfare Strategy.
[You attack, we defend, and run. We attack; you can only defend.
This kind of strategy was working.
"Nami, now!"
[Hundred Thousand Volts]
Several large black clouds appeared above the CP0 agent, and a massive lightning bolt struck down.
"Tsk!"
Seeing this, the Agent had no choice but to destroy the lightning bolt. But he wouldn't be stupid enough to face it head-on.
[Earth Spike]
Suddenly, the ground rose and transformed into a massive spike, heading towards the lightning.
Bang! Crack! Crack!
The lightning bolts crashed upon the earth spike, breaking it into pieces and dispersing together with it.
"What kind of fruit is that? He can control the ground. Is it Logia?"
Usopp asked softly while focusing on several metallic ammo in his hands. Unlike before, he didn't use the slingshot but rather tried merging his sniping talent with his new Devil Fruit.
"I am not sure, but let me try it."
Brook spoke from the side. He held the purple cane and walked forward. Because of the recent training, he had gained some strength.
But he was still weaker than Nami and Usopp because of their combat powers.
But in terms of strength and speed, he was better than they. As he walked, a strange white mist appeared around him.
The CP0 agent noticed the mist and released his Observation Haki and instantly saw Brook dashing towards him.
The speed caught him off guard. After all, it was the mixture of Brook's original speed and Soru.
When combined, it created almost teleportation-like speed. But even so, it was slow for an Observation Haki user.
The CP0 agent saw the attack and instantly moved to the side. Brook had already traveled beyond the agent as he closed his cane.
Unfortunately, the slash didn't reach the Agent and dispersed in mid-air.
"What a fast speed? If not for my Observation Haki, you would've certainly wounded me. You must be a new member of the Straw Hat Pirates, right?"
The CP0 agent spoke. Although agents like him didn't like speaking much, he was genuinely surprised by Brook's speed.
Because Brook hadn't awakened his Haki.
"Thank you for your kind words, sir. Yes, my name is Brook. I am a new member of the crew."
Brook turned around and nodded his head.
He seemed quite chilled while introducing himself.
"Though I might say I am surprised that you can speak so politely. I heard CP agents were supposed to be cold and murderous fellows."
Hearing that, the CP0 agent waved his hand and said.
"That's only because we don't interact with people. Every CP0 agent has their own personality. I don't like to be cold towards my enemy because I know they will die sooner or later."
Brook narrowed his eyes.
Oh! He didn't have eyes.
Skull Joke!
He opened his mouth and spoke.
"That's truly a shame. We are not going to die here, Mr…."
"Shamon! My name is Shamon." The CP0 agent introduced himself, then continued.
"But you are going to die here. Let's not talk about us. Let's just talk about two admirals who came with us. Admiral Akainu has a strength that can rival an Emperor of the Sea."
"So, if you want an Admiral to fight someone who has lost against an Emperor, you are asking for defeat. We have recorded your Captain and Vice Captain's battle against Kaido."
"In that battle, both sides retreated, and more importantly, Kaido defeated your Captain and Vice Captain twice in one battle. So, there is no way they can defeat Admiral Akainu and Admiral Kizaru."
Hearing that, Brook asked.
"What about the battle in Enies Lobby? Didn't we win against the Marines with similar odds?"
Shamon shook his head and said.
"You are stupid if you think they showed their strength in Enies Lobby. That is the Government's site. It is one of the most important parts of the World Government."
"So, how could they go all out under such circumstances? But for this battle, the admirals are permitted to use their Awakening. You might not know what Awakening is, but believe me, your Captain and Vice Captain can't contend with Logia's Awakening?"
Hearing that, Brook was not surprised. He knew the World government had given up these islands if they could destroy the Straw Hat Pirates.
So, naturally, they wouldn't hesitate to use their full strength.
But through this conversation, Brook learned one thing.
"You are not a Logia Devil Fruit user."
Shamon showed a look of surprise as he asked.
"Why do you think so? Is it because I can't turn my body into soil?"
As he said, he did turn his body into soil, but unlike normal soil, it was hardened like a stone.
"Because when you talked about Logia's Awakening, your tone shifted a little as if it was mixed with jealousy. Although you controlled your emotions quite well, that little bit of jealousy was enough for me to figure out."
Brook explained calmly.
Hearing that, Shamon narrowed his eyes as his body slowly returned to normal.
"Yes, you are right. I am not a Logia Devil Fruit user. As much as I like to, I don't have the powers of Logia, but even so, my Chikyu Chikyu No Mi can control soil, which is enough for me to defeat you three."
"So, let's end our sweet talk and start this battle."
As he said, he tapped the ground with his feet, and suddenly, it started wiggling. The ground in front of Brook slowly rose into a massive earth dragon and roared toward Brook.
Although the ground had only made the head of the dragon with its body similar to eastern dragon, its power was amazing.
[Multiple Firestar Blast]
Suddenly, seven different shurikens rushed forward, each moving towards the Earth Dragon. They changed their directions in mid-air and struck the Earth Dragon from different parts.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Those seven shurikens exploded in different parts of the Earth Dragon, but the explosion was more than enough to turn the Earth Dragon into broken bits and pieces.
"Interesting! That attack came out of nowhere. It was faster than the speed of sound."
Shamon wasn't worried about his attack getting destroyed. Instead, he was rather surprised by those shurikens.
They flew too fast and came out of nowhere.
If he had focused his Observation Haki on Usopp, he would've felt it. But without that, it was impossible to sense Usopp's attacks.
Simply because they are too fast.
[Three Verse Humming- Arrow Notch Slash]
Suddenly, a shadowy figure walked passed him. He didn't notice it because he was distracted by Usopp.
By the time he noticed it, it was too late.
Crack
A large cut appeared on his chest, but before it could pierce his skin, it was blocked by a thick layer of stone armor.
Thud!
Because of the attack, the cracks on the Stone Armor began to spread wildly until they suddenly fell from his body in bits and pieces.
[Earth Spear Technique- Nine Dragon Nail]
Shamon instantly placed his hand on the ground and controlled it. He controlled the ground to form nine nails that slowly hovered in the air, surrounding Brook from all sides.
[Lightning Descends]
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several large-scale lightning bolts fell from the sky and struck those nails. Even though Shamon tried to pull them away, how could they be faster than the speed of lightning?
As soon as those bolts of lightning fell and destroyed his attack, Shamon's nonchalant look disappeared, replaced with a serious expression.
"Sure enough! I wasn't wrong. Among the three of them, only that girl is more threatening to me. As long as I can keep my Stone Armor, that skeleton and sniper won't be able to injure me."
"But lightning can. Its destructiveness can easily destroy my Stone Armor and even cause a lot of damage to me. So, let's take out that girl first."
Shamon murmured as his face showed a strong determination.
[Soru]
His body disappeared and flashed next to Nami. He instantly raised his index finger, covering it with Armament Haki, and pushed forward.
Whoosh!
His body pierced through Nami, but instead of drawing blood, Nami slowly dissolved into an illusion.
"That was an illusion. How can it fool my Observation Haki?"
Shamon was stunned for a moment, not knowing how he had missed her presence. After all, he checked her presence long before he even tried to attack her.
"You CP agents are truly arrogant, aren't you? Why do you assume that only you can learn Haki?"
