When Hyougoro was telling her about what happened, she thought both Himura Kenshin and Kozuki Oden were suspicious like demons.
But now, with Kozuki Oden appearing and releasing his evil energy without restraint, Ann knows for sure who he is.
That's right, he's the demon Ann has been looking for, or rather…
A demon related to a demon lord!
Just like those demon followers in Jaltzburg, a demon lord needs a lot of preparation to appear. It's just that last time, the demon followers were low-level people, but this time, the demon followers are…
The Kozuki family of Wano Country!
Even though she knows this, she has lost contact with Roger now, and can't report these things or tell the Lightning God!
She bit her lip, and a huge amount of strong power gathered on the short sword in her hand. Conqueror's power and Armament power were wrapped around the blade at the same time, and it instantly collided with Kozuki Oden's two swords.
Boom!
In an instant, immense Conqueror's power spread out, and the sky above cracked open…
Kozuki Oden also has Conqueror's power?
Ann was surprised. She didn't expect someone with Conqueror's power to become a slave to a demon.
The clouds were directly split in two by the huge power, revealing the unreachable sky. The sun shone directly into the city without being blocked by the clouds.
During the collision, the samurai behind Ann had arrived!
Ann used Kozuki Oden's power to deliberately retreat. While retreating, she turned around and pointed her sword at Ashura Doji behind her, stabbing him through the chest. Using this resistance, she twisted her body again and retreated to the other side.
But there were pursuers there as well, so she could only keep dodging.
But in the end, she couldn't dodge in time. On the fifth change of position, Kozuki Oden slashed her in the stomach.
Puh!
Blood kept flowing out. Ann even felt like there was some kind of black energy in her wound, as if it wanted to get into her body?!
She was shocked, and immediately hardened that area with Armament power.
But with that moment of distraction, Toguro appeared behind her. Toguro punched out, and it was like the earth roared. A huge force burst out.
Ann couldn't dodge, so she could only grip her short sword tightly, gather her strength, and slam it towards Toguro's fist.
Boom!
She was at a disadvantage in strength. Especially since her sword strike was too rushed, she was directly blasted hundreds of meters away by Toguro's punch, smashing into a house.
The house collapsed instantly, and the building hit Ann.
"How about this, why don't you join us and cooperate with us?" Kozuki Oden approached calmly. Ann was no longer much of a threat to them.
"Our Wano Country will eventually replace the World Government and become the new master of this world. Then you can still be your Marine Admiral, as long as you become my loyal subordinate."
He smiled evilly and said to Ann.
He really lacked high-end combat power. Even if Kinemon and the others were strengthened by him, they could only act as mid-level combat power. After he learned that the World Government had three organizations with powerful combat power: the Marines, The Black Order, and Impel Down, he decided that he also had to build his own army.
In his army, the commander must be at the level of a Marine Admiral.
Ann lay in the rubble. Although Toguro's punch hurt her a lot, it wouldn't directly make her unable to fight back.
She was thinking about what to do next. It was definitely impossible to fight head-on.
She couldn't possibly be a match for so many people, not to mention that Toguro and Kozuki Oden were both very strong.
It would be difficult to run away, since the other side had blocked all her escape routes.
This is really troublesome…
Ann's head hurt.
She lifted the bricks and tiles that were pressing on her and stood up from the rubble.
Looking at the ten people surrounding her, she sighed softly, "It seems like I'm going to be stuck here this time. If I join you, can I still live?"
"Of course you can." Oden smiled. "I need you to be my spy in the Marines."
"Oh? What do you plan to do?" Ann was curious.
She was very curious how Oden could make sure she wouldn't betray him.
The answer was revealed in the next second. A tentacle made of black energy came out of Oden's body. The tentacle seemed to contain extremely strong dark energy. Ann frowned. She felt that the power was very similar to the kind of energy residue Oden left on her wound before.
That kind of energy also wanted to get into her body at first…
Could it be that Oden has the ability to control others?
She looked at the eight people standing around Oden and Toguro. They were silent and just stood there quietly, but at this time, they faintly emitted a purple light similar to that of the tentacle.
They…
Were they controlled by Oden?
And Oden wanted to control her next?
Ann subconsciously took a step back. The tentacle was rapidly approaching. If she resisted, it would definitely arouse Oden and Toguro's killing intent, but if she didn't resist, she would be controlled by Oden.
Just then, her incredible Observation power sensed words coming from afar.
"Please retreat in this direction, we will help you."
Ann raised her eyebrows. She didn't have much time to think at this moment. She directly swung her sword and cut off the tentacle that was about to bind her, and quickly ran towards the direction the voice came from.
"Don't even think about running!"
The person in that direction was Izo. He swung his sword the moment he saw Ann move. Of course, his attack couldn't stop Ann, but it would be enough as long as it could delay her for a moment!
"I knew a Marine Admiral wouldn't give up so easily!"
Kozuki Oden's voice came from behind again. Ann dodged Izo's slash, and at the same time twisted her body and dodged Oden's blade.
She had seen the future. Even if she was surrounded by so many people, it was still no problem to dodge briefly.
She dodged the two most dangerous blades, but Toguro had already rushed over again. Ann kept moving forward, constantly trying to create distance between herself and Toguro.
However, Toguro's body strength was even higher than hers. Ann surpassed Toguro in agility, but now it was a simple race, and she couldn't outrun Toguro!
Ann suddenly turned around and swung her sword, wanting to force Toguro back with it. However, Toguro actually relied on his body to take the sword strike head-on, and at the same time, he threw a heavy punch.
This punch directly hit Ann in the stomach, and Ann spat out a large mouthful of blood and flew out into the distance with a loud bang!
