"It looks like your overly powerful physical constitution has become a burden instead."
Seizing the opening, Jiabode entwined her flexible sword with Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki) and slashed down at Giorno, whose body was still more than half dollified on the ground.
"...Escape route!" Using his temporarily recovered left palm, Liam slammed hard against the ground. "I still have one arm left!"
Sword energy cleaved through the spot where he had just been standing. Liam had already leaped into the air. While airborne, he flipped his palm and fiercely struck the air beside him.
"Pa!"
The air exploded beneath his palm. Driven by the recoil, Liam, his body still largely dollified, shot toward Jiabode and Coyatl on the ground.
"He's actually using his palm to perform Geppo..." Before Jiabode could even register this, she swung her sword at the oncoming Giorno.
Shua!
As the sword swung, sword energy burst forth, accompanied by a spray of soap bubbles. Whether they were useful or not, something was better than nothing!
Liam brought both palms together like a blade and, in an instant, flung out more than a dozen crescent-shaped arcs of light in front of him.
Rankyaku?
Is this Rankyaku?!
Jiabode watched as the dozen "Rankyaku" slashes collided with her attacks, several of which shattered together, while the rest tore through the foamy wave and came straight at her.
She had no way to dodge. Coyatl, his eyes still smeared with blood, was right behind her.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Several rankyaku slashes carved sprays of fresh blood from Jiabode.
"My blood... This is bad..."
Despite the pain of being cut by the Rankyaku, Jiabode narrowed her eyes and swung her flexible sword toward the air in front of her.
Meanwhile, Liam caught a spray of blood with his leg. With a casual wipe, his leg... like a shriveled sponge soaked in water, rapidly returned to its original state.
His long leg was entwined with Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki). Spinning his body, he unleashed a kick that sent Jiabode, sword and all, flying backward. He crashed through several trees before finally coming to a stop.
From the moment Liam flung out a spray of blood to the moment he slammed the ground, sprang away from Jiabode's slash, used a palm-based "Geppo" to counter with "Rankyaku," and finally used the blood he drew from Jiabode to restore his right leg before kicking the female swordsman away, this entire sequence took only a few fleeting instants.
Only after those few instants did Coyatl manage to wipe the blood covering his eyes.
As he lifted his gaze, his vision blurred by blood, he saw Giorno's long leg trace an arc of light as it swept toward him.
"You look like you've got plenty of blood, mind lending me some?"

Royal Palace...
Many items inside the rooms of the City Fortress had already been destroyed by the battle between Rasha and Robin.
The royal guards protected the king, hiding with him in a corner. Although Ross was worried about her elder sister, Jolyne, she clenched her teeth. She had to do what she could!
She quietly edged toward her father.
"What's wrong?"
Rasha, barehanded and scarred, smashed apart one wall of the City Fortress.
Robin flashed aside to dodge, looking somewhat disheveled.
She panted lightly, forcing herself to stay calm and focused.
Without B.I.B. by her side and with her Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki) not strong enough, she was unable to confirm what was happening on Liam's side at that moment.
Robin wasn't sure if Liam was in battle, so she didn't use her Flower-Flower ability to create a flower clone of him to cover and boost her.
Dealing with the scar-faced woman in front of her—who was likely one of Haiyna's Four Knights... was extremely taxing, given her own level of Haki and combat ability.
"So, a pirate with a 300-million-Belly bounty, Kujo Jolyne... this is all you've got?" Rasha strode forward, her fist entwined with Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki), and smashed it ruthlessly toward Robin.
Robin's dark green eyes were utterly calm as they locked onto the blackened fist swinging at her.
Now!
The Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi) ability, Blooming Freedom, activated. In a corner that Robin's Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki) had confirmed to be empty, a heart made of petals bloomed into existence. At the same time, her flower-formed arm blossomed there as well, gripping and crushing Rasha's heart!
Bang!
Just as Rasha's blackened fist slammed toward Kujo Jolyne's face, she suddenly felt a heart-shattering pain burst through her chest.
The corner of her eye twitched, and her punch slowed by a fraction.
Jolyne seized that opening, closing in instantly. From beneath her flowing sleeves, her fist shot out, a ruthless, black uppercut entwined with Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki), which smashed straight into Rasha's throat.
Bang!
Rasha was blasted into the air and crashed into the ceiling of the City Fortress room. Her eyes were bloodshot as she fell back down.
Thud.
She hit the ground, clutching her neck. That punch from Jolyne Kujo had almost smashed her throat clean through.
"Ugh..."
Rasha rolled over and spat out a mouthful of blood, then another. Her face flushed red, and waves of dizziness flooded her mind.
What just happened? What was that?
The pain in her heart had felt terrifyingly real.
As she thought this, her heart suddenly spasmed as if it had been crushed again! The sensation was just as vivid.
Robin strode forward with her foot entwined in Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki) and kicked Rasha away with full force.
It wasn't that Robin's fighting style was inherently vicious, rather, if she wanted to defeat a stronger opponent with the smallest possible cost, this was the only way.
Robin knew that her earlier punch might have severely injured Rasha, but it would be difficult to defeat her completely.
Just as Robin was about to press her advantage, Rasha was caught by a hand.

Ruins
Like a black shadow, B.I.B. moved at extreme speed around Haiyna.
As expected, her reactions were far too slow.
B.I.B.'s narrow eyes glowed white. Haiyna seemed sluggish in her responses, repeatedly failing to properly capture its presence.
Earlier...
When B.I.B. stabbed her in the chest with its left hand, Haiyna didn't manage to activate Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki) in time to defend herself.
"Stop running around."
Haiyna held her sword horizontally, searching the surrounding air for that ghostly presence.
B.I.B. darted in a blur, attacking from her blind spot and sending her flying with a single punch.
She spat out a mouthful of blood midair, tracing an arc through the sky, and landed atop the massive, cross-shaped wooden frame she had carved with her longsword.
......
Forest
Liam let out a long breath. In his hand was a blonde, big-breasted woman who was rolling her eyes and was already unconscious. Her body was covered in wounds. Liam casually wiped away blood and soap bubbles from his neck. Once his body had fully returned to normal, he tossed Coyatl aside and let her land next to Jiabode, who lay there with unfocused eyes and a shattered flexible sword.
"Bubble-Bubble Fruit, Impact Fruit... They both seem pretty interesting."
Liam clapped his palms together; they were crusted with dried blood. Unfortunately, B.I.B. wasn't there, so even if he was interested, he had no way to get his hands on the fruits to experiment with them.
"Ah, forget it."
Liam flicked his wrist. Just as he was about to deliver the final blow to the two unconscious female pirates, a large amount of dark green liquid suddenly surged out from within their bodies.
