Chapter 486: Chapter 486: Phantasm Dracule Mihawk (4)
The girls, scattered and wounded from the battle, found themselves looking at Ben, their Captain. One by one, they felt an inexplicable warmth surging through their bodies. They could feel their energy coming back to them. They felt their cheeks flushing. They all looked at Ben in awe.
Kaya placed a hand over her heart. Her cheeks flushed. "My King, your aura… it's so overwhelming. I can feel it," she remarked. She touched his leg. It felt electric and warm.
Honey eyes gleamed as her lips curled into a playful smile. "That smell… It's intoxicating," she remarked. Her eyes were drawn to the cocoon shell on his crotch,
Alvida, gripping Seraphina as she staggered to her feet. "My love," she said. She looked at him, her heartbeat pounding. Her cheeks were red. She smiled at him. "My love," she said once again.
Mikita's heart raced as she bit her lip. "He looks and feels more handsome. I have the urge to fight for him forever," Mikita said.
"This warmth… It's like he's charging the air around him," Nojiko said as smiled at him. She wanted to kiss him.
Marianne twirled her Yellow Gun, her lips curled into a grin. "That form… looks good and handsome," she commented. She thought he smelled good. She also thought it might be fun to play with him.
"I feel like he is drawing to him." Zala remarked. She smiled at his huge form. She thought he had big muscles.
Saphir clenched her spear tightly, as a blush crept across her cheeks. "I feel like I am falling in love again or more," she remarked. Her thoughts were not clear but her love for him was.
Conis, feather glowed faintly. "The aura. I can feel my body responding without my control," she remarked.
"He's not just a leader… he's something greater," Raki said. Her heartbeat pounded in her chest.
"With Ben, our god, I feel like I can conquer anything," Maya stated.
Kalifa adjusted her glasses, a flush spreading across her face. "I can't deny it. He's… captivating," she commented. She thought this was the feeling of love.
Hina crossed her arms. She felt a warmth spreading through her chest. Her cheeks were red. Her heartbeat was beating fast. She looked at Ben and thought he was dreamy. "Hina… doesn't understand. But this energy… it's impossible to resist," she said.
Tashigi gripped her sword. She thought back to the kiss. She was red. "I will fight on," she stated.
Vivi looked at Ben. "My King, you are magnificent," she said. She clutched her chest, her pulse pounding in her ears. She loved Ben. She loved Ben, she thought.
"Dangerous," Robin remarked as she looked at Ben and smiled. She thought her Captain was fascinating.
Ben heard everyone and thought it was strange. They were all red. Then he thought most of them were red anyway with him. He smiled. He thought oh well, they seemed fired up. "Everyone, we can do it together," Ben stated.
The girls nodded, their hearts pounding in unison.
"Let's show him what we can do," Kaya declared. Kaya took to the sky. "Divine Rainfall," Kaya said as she raised her glowing hands towards the sky. A luminous white orb formed between her palms. With a bright flash, the orb dissolved into countless radiant droplets, falling down like a celestial rainstorm. The white rain spread across the battlefield. As each drop landed on her sisters, their wounds began to close, bruises faded.
Ben looked to see Kaya looking beautiful. Her wings shimmering with the same radiant glow as the rain.
Nojiko felt her aching muscles relax as the glow mended the cuts on her chest. "This is amazing," she remarked.
Tashigi's hand trembled as the rain washed over her, healing a deep gash on her chest. "It's like… all the pain just disappeared," she added.
"Kaya take a stamina drink," Ben ordered. This voice was deep. Kaya nodded and opened a can. She drank the stamina drink and felt all the exhaustion go.
"Let's go," Alvida stated.
"Dark Necromantic Grasp Followers," Vivi said. A dark aura began to emanate from her body. With a flick of her clawed hand, she created a dark flame. She touched the ground and the flames got stronger. The flames began to take shape, forming into two distinct figures. As the shadows solidified, the forms of Cherry and Ivy became apparent. Their faces looked exactly like them but with a twisted, demonic edge. Their eyes were hollow and glowing with an ominous light. Their bodies transformed further, their skin going red. They had black wings on their backs which were tattered and torn. Horns curled from their foreheads and they had long tails.
Vivi thought they might not like this. "Wow," Marianne said.
"Amazing," Zala said.
"Go Vivi," Nojiko cheered.
Ben saw the demon form. He thought that was interesting. He looked at Phantasm Mihawk. "Rakshasa Blast," Ben said as he opened his mouth and gathered dark energy. He created a large ball. It grew big and launched it at Phantasm Mihawk.
"Judgment Slash," Phantasm Mihawk said as he swung Yoru in a horizontal arc. The incoming projectile hurtled towards Mihawk's blade. He cleaved the ball cleanly in half. The two halves detonated simultaneously, releasing a violent shockwave that surged outward. The explosion pushed Mihawk back as he skidded across the ground.
"Dark Necromantic Follower Hold," Vivi commanded. The two Undead Demons Ivy and Cherry rushed towards Phantasm Mihawk.
"Crusader's Guillotine," Phantasm Mihawk said as he brought his blade down in a powerful overhead slash. He cut the Demonic Ivy`s head off as she fell to the ground. He swung at Demonic Cherry and cut her body as she fell down.
"No," Saphir said.
"They look to be fine," Robin pointed out as they were growing her head back. Demonic Ivy then grabbed onto Phantasm Mihawk.
Phantasm Mihawk raised Yoru, preparing to deliver a decisive slash, when Maya came rushing toward him. "Cess Shear," she said, gripping her sword tightly as she swung horizontally. The blade tore across his chest, leaving a deep, jagged gash. Blood seeped from the wound, staining the ground beneath him.
Before Mihawk could retaliate, Saphir leaped into the fray. Her eyes burned with resolve, her mind racing with thoughts of proving her strength not just to Ben, but to herself. "Shattering Tide Strike," she said. Planting her feet firmly, she drew her arm back and unleashed a devastating punch to Mihawk's stomach, the force rippling like a crashing tidal wave. Without hesitation, she followed with a second thunderous punch to his sternum, the combined impact sending Mihawk sliding backward. She made sure to hit his open wounds.
Mihawk skidded to a halt. Demonic Ivy and Cherry clung to him. He slashed through their hold, breaking free.
"Solar Daybreak," Conis said as she channeled the blazing power of the sun. A radiant beam of concentrated solar energy erupted from her hands, its brightness nearly blinding as it surged forward, incinerating everything in its path.
"Night Wind Slash," he said as he unleashed a long-range slash that cut through the air. The two attacks collided, creating an explosion of light and dark energy. For a moment, it seemed like Mihawk's strike would prevail, but Conis's solar beam intensified, piercing through his defense and striking him directly. The impact sent Mihawk flying backward. The beam pierced him.
Before he could fully recover, Zala charged towards him. "Double Stinger," she said as she changed her hands into sharp, elongated spikes. She unleashed a flurry of rapid stabs aimed at Mihawk's vital points, forcing him to block and evade with increasing speed.
"Silent Night Hunting," Mihawk said as she vanished into a blur. He performed a lightning fast blitz attack. Zala took a direct hit, blood splattering from her wounds. Despite the pain, she twisted her body mid-air.
"Stinger Kick," Zala said as her leg transformed into a sharp spike. She launched a powerful kick aimed at Mihawk. The strike connected with his shoulder, carving a deep gash and forcing him to step back. "Now is our chance," she said.
"Mass Shift," Mikita said as she felt her blood rushing. Her muscles started to swell. Her forearms got bigger and then reduced in size. Her thighs got bigger and shrunk again. She approached Phantasm Mihawk. "Poundage Kick," Mikita added as she increased the weight in her foot to 100,000 kilograms. She swung her leg in a powerful arc and struck Phantasm Mihawk. The sheer force of the kick generated a shockwave, the air rippling as her foot connected with his face. Mihawk was sent flying back.
"Golden Parachute," Kalifa said as she launched Lovethorn skyward. The whip wrapped around Phantasm Mihawk mid-air. She yanked him downward with crushing force. There was a large cloud of dust and derby went flying everywhere.
"Moonwalk," Honey said as she jumped into the air. She kicked the air and flew above where Mihawk crashed down. "Liquid Bomb," Honey added as she created a large red ball of liquid with both her hands. It became huge and she threw it. The ball hurled towards Mihawk. Mihawk saw this however as he was about to move, the red ball hit him and exploded.
The explosion was large and violent and Phantasm Mihawk was sent flying through the air and crashed onto the ground. His clothes were darkened from the explosion. His coat was torn. His chest was now heavily bleeding.
Marianne aimed her Yellow Gun. She fired a dice-shaped bullet at him. The bullet exploded upon impact and sent him flying once again. His body rag dolled across the ground. He had Yoru in his hand and got up once again. His feet wobbled. He looked at Marianne.
Demonic Cherry and Ivy got hold of Phantasm Mihawk once again. They held his hand, preventing him from moving his blade.
Raki, in her beast form, as she looked at Phantasm Mihawk. She thought her attacks were not working on him. She knew the CP9 members were able to combine their devil fruits and the Six Power Techniques. Her muscles coiled.
"Storm Leg," Raki growled as she lashed out with her leg at incredible speed, generating a massive, razor-sharp blade of compressed wind that tore through the air with a high-pitched whistle. The wind blade struck Mihawk square in the chest. A large cut appeared across his torso, and blood began to seep through.
Phantasm Mihawk used his other hand and took his small blade out and sliced the two Demonic Females once again. They both fell to the ground.
"Giant Angel Heaven`s Arrow," Kaya said as she formed a giant white arrow shaped projection. She put everything into it and hurled it at high speed towards Phantasm Mihawk who was slicing the two Demonic females. The arrow struck and pierced his chest. It exploded and sent Phantasm Mihawk flying back. There was now a large gaping hole in the chest. There were multiple cuts and wounds. He was bleeding constantly.
He had Yoru in his hands and looked at Ben. "He does not go down," Sapir remarked.
"He is weakening," Zala added.
"Rakshasa Fist," Ben said as he channeled a surge of dark energy into his clenched fist. His hand began to glow with an ominous black light. The air around his fist warped and rippled.
Ben swung his fist forward in a devastating punch aimed directly at Phantasm Mihawk.
Mihawk raised Yoru. "Thousand Years of Darkest Night," he said as he poured all his energy into a single slash. The swing was so forceful that the battlefield seemed to dim. The fist and blade collided, unleashing an earth-shattering explosion of energy. The ground beneath them cracked and trembled, and shockwaves rippled outward. For a brief moment, the forces seemed evenly matched, locked in a violent stalemate.
Then, Mihawk's slash broke through. The blade's power struck him full force, carving a massive gash across his chest. Blood sprayed into the air as Ben staggered backward, his eyes wide with pain. Ben collapsed to his knees, his breathing ragged.
"Ben," they all shouted.
"Mystic Beam," Tashigi said as her sword radiated an intense emerald glow. The energy gathered at the blade's tip. She swung her weapon. A concentrated green beam of energy erupted forth, slicing through the battlefield. The beam tore through debris and air alike, aiming directly at Phantasm Mihawk. It hit Phantasm Mihawk creating another large hole in his chest. There were two holes now and a number of stab wounds and slashes.
Nojiko stepped forward. "Cloud Surge," she said, raising her arms as she created dense storm clouds that began to materialize, swirled menacingly around Mihawk. "Lightning Drill," Nojiko said as the storm clouds condensed into a single point above Mihawk. Blinding bolts of lightning converged and began to spin, forming a spiraling vortex of electrified energy. A deafening roar, the drill-like bolt descended, striking Mihawk with immense force. The ground beneath him erupted in a blinding explosion of light and sound, leaving behind a charred crater as the storm's fury dissipated.
Phantasm Mihawk had burn marks on his face. He looked at everyone. "Iron Punch," Hina said as an iron rod extended from the palm of her hand and struck Phantasm Mihawk in the eye. His face moved backwards.
He was about to react when Vivi`s Demonic women wrapped them around Phantasm Mihawk once again. Their Demonic faces had twisted smiles.
"Dos Fleur," Robin said as two arms sprouted from Phantasm Mihawk`s body. "Finger Pistol," Robin continued as her conjured hand drove its index finger forward with piercing force, penetrating his shoulder. Blood spurted from the wound.
"Kanabo Smash," Alvida said as raised her massive mace high above her head. She then swung it down towards Phantasm Mihawk. Serphina connected with his head. Mihawk head was brought downwards. It started to bleed.
"Dark Necromantic Follower Scratch," Vivi commanded, The two Demonic Shadow which were wrapped around him raised their clawed hands. Their razor-sharp claws raked across his chest and shoulders. The attacks left jagged wounds.
"Rakshasa Slash," Ben said as he focused his energy in his hands. It glowed black and he launched a gigantic projectile in the shape of a claws attack towards Phantasm Mihawk. The slash connected and ripped his shoulder off. It had sent him flying back. He crashed onto the ground.
Phantasm Mihawk laid on the ground with two large holes on his body, multiple slash and stab wounds. His body was burnt and his arm was torn off.
Phantasm Dracule Mihawk levitated from the ground. His body spun around and turned into light and went back into the orb. "We did it," they all shouted.
The orb started to shake and then went into the sky. It left behind a Red Waistband and a devil fruit as well as several cans.
"There is a devil fruit there," Marianne remarked.
[It is the Neko Neko no Mi, Model: White Tiger. Congratulation on beating Phantasm Mihawk. ]
(Thank you Sweetie.)
"I also see 10 Heal and 10 Stamina Drinks," Robin added.
Ben transformed back. "Everyone, good job, let's head back and debrief and patch everyone up," Ben ordered. They all nodded and headed back to the Miss Love Duck.
