Chapter 150: Captured
"We can't afford to be delayed; we must leave quickly."
Califa looked at the woman in front of her, her legs suddenly pounding against the ground repeatedly as she used Shave to escape.
Whoosh.
Califa instantly moved a distance away. After landing from her leap, she intended to use Shave again, but at that moment, a figure followed closely behind and kicked out.
Bang.
Califa raised her leg, but her body was pushed back a bit. Her legs ached as she gritted her teeth and stared ahead.
"She can actually keep up with the speed of Shave."
Califa observed the woman before her, noticing that she had transformed. Her legs had become those of an ostrich, her arms had turned into wings, and her neck and mouth had morphed into an ostrich's beak.
"A Devil Fruit User?"
Califa regarded her opponent with a grim expression.
The woman had taken on a half-human, half-beast form, moving slightly slower than Califa's Shave.
Califa's Shave involved stepping on the ground more than ten times in an instant, propelling herself forward with explosive speed generated by the reaction force.
But the reaction force was limited. After advancing a short distance, she had to land again and push off the ground to leave.
The opponent's speed allowed them to catch up as she landed once more.
As for using Moon Step to leave through the air, the reaction force provided by stepping on the air was much weaker, barely half of what it would be on solid ground, making it impossible to evade her opponent.
In other words, it was difficult for her to escape from the obstruction.
Did she have to fight?
Califa looked at the figure before her, but the answer was already clear. She tightened her grip on the whip and lashed out at the figure ahead.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
The whip transformed into a series of afterimages, striking towards her opponent's form.
However, Cecilia flickered and dodged the whip effortlessly while mocking, "Too slow."
"Is that so?"
Califa stepped forward, leaping into the air as the whip transformed into a web of intertwining shadows.
"Moon Step, Thorny Path."
In response to this attack, Cecilia did not retreat but instead advanced, leaping high into the air and aiming a kick at Califa's wrist.
"That was fast."
Califa had just extended her whip when she found herself face to face with her opponent. She could strike at her, but it would inevitably leave her open to a kick.
With a thud, Califa stepped forward in mid-air and landed a short distance away, while Cecilia slowly descended to the ground.
"I won't use Iron Whip."
Califa was skilled in using the Iron Whip, but its length and flexibility meant that delivering a strike required a transfer of force, making it slower than a direct punch. Against an opponent like Cecilia, who was only slightly slower than her, it was ineffective.
"Then let's fight up close."
Califa snorted coldly, tossing the whip aside. But in the next moment, Cecilia was already upon her, launching a kick.
Bang.
The two legs collided directly. After the impact, Califa felt a sharp pain in her leg and quickly retracted it.
With her leg strength, she couldn't withstand Cecilia's kick enhanced by the Ostrich Fruit.
In that brief moment of hesitation, Cecilia landed a kick to Califa's side.
Bang.
After the muffled sound, Cecilia took a step back, feeling pain in her leg.
"Is this what Iron Body is? It can make the body as hard as iron."
Cecilia gritted her teeth and asked. From that last strike, she felt as if she had kicked a piece of Iron Body; the harder she hit, the more her leg throbbed.
"That's right. With your abilities, you can't hurt me."
Califa replied coldly.
"Oh really?"
Cecilia snorted lightly and then said, "But when you use Iron Body, you can't move, right? As long as I can stop you, I’m not worried about you getting away."
"You seem to know quite a bit."
Califa narrowed her eyes but didn’t hesitate. She lifted her foot slightly bent and then kicked out fiercely.
Whoosh.
A Wave Slash shot toward Cecilia.
Cecilia didn’t dare to confront it; she bent her legs and instantly vanished to evade the attack.
However, just as she landed from her leap, a figure closed in tightly, with the index finger of the right hand pointing out.
Finger Gun.
Cecilia had long known all the techniques of Six Styles. Not daring to confront them, she took another step and dashed to the side.
But Califa raised a leg, unleashing a Wave Slash aimed at her path.
This is bad.
Cecilia continued to charge forward, about to collide with the Wave Slash. She quickly pivoted and sprinted off into the distance.
In that instant, Califa closed in again, pointing a finger at her chest.
Cecilia hurriedly shielded herself with her wings.
Thud.
Califa's finger pierced through Cecilia's wings, sending a spray of blood into the air.
Yet in the next moment, Califa was sent flying back, stabilizing herself mid-air before landing on one knee. She clutched her abdomen, a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.
"You..."
Califa glared at Cecilia, her expression grim.
At the moment she unleashed the Finger Gun, Cecilia had kicked out.
As her Finger Gun pierced Cecilia's body, Cecilia's knee slammed into her abdomen. She used the force to push back, barely managing to steady herself.
"Your speed is impressive, but I can still dodge the attack from the Front position."
Cecilia waved her injured wings and smiled. "But what does it matter if you can dodge? It's better to trade injuries; you, the attacker, are without your Iron Body state."
Cecilia could have avoided the Front position but chose not to, opting instead to trade blows and hit Califa.
"Bring it on."
Califa slowly stood up, lifted her right leg, and kicked out a Wave Slash.
Whoosh.
Cecilia had no choice but to evade, but Califa had already closed in using a Shave, her right hand shooting out again.
"Bring it on."
Cecilia raised her wings to shield herself and swung her right foot at Califa.
Trading injuries.
Califa dared not respond and could only dodge.
From then on, neither of them could gain the upper hand.
Califa wanted to run but couldn't escape. When she attacked Cecilia, the latter retaliated with equal force.
Cecilia, however, couldn't land a hit on her; after all, she possessed Iron Body, which made her incredibly fast and powerful.
Thus, the two were momentarily locked in a stalemate.
At that moment, Califa felt a premonition and suddenly leaped into the distance.
Thud.
A muffled sound echoed as Bola's right hand pierced through the ground where Califa had just stood.
Bang.
Just as Califa landed, a shadow of a leg swept in and struck her in the chest.
Bang.
Califa didn't have time to activate Iron Body and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Coughing, Califa spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled to stand up, but Cecilia was already behind her, delivering a swift kick.
Bang.
Califa directly used Iron Body, her form shaking violently. Although her defense increased, the internal injuries were exacerbated, and with a gasp, she spat out blood, releasing the Iron Body.
Puff.
A sharp spike pierced through her right chest.
"This... cough cough."
Califa looked at the spike, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth when suddenly, Cecilia kicked her in the head.
Califa was sent flying to the side and collapsed on the ground, unconscious.
"Don't kick her to death."
Bola retracted the spike, speaking irritably.
"I know what I'm doing."
Cecilia replied with a smile, glancing at the distant Califa, and muttered, "She won't really die, will she?"
"You were too rough. Let's carry her away and get her to the submarine."
Bola instructed as Cecilia walked over and picked up Califa, heading towards the Coast.
They reached the submarine and placed Califa inside, allowing the doctor inside to treat and bandage her wounds.
"Bruno is dead, Kaku and Califa have been captured, and even Hadoli is dead."
Seeing that Califa had been sent over lifeless, Lucci in the cage above the submarine sighed, knowing that there was basically no hope of escape this time.
"You all head to Island Five from the back of the island. As for the Naval Battleship, leave that to me."
Xiaqiu said, diving down first towards the Naval Battleship that was faintly visible in the distance.
