In theory, the flying arrow should be faster than a person, but the person charging out below was also very fast, almost on par with the arrow. As Ulti instinctively retreated backward, narrowly dodging the arrow with Spiral Qi, Sipher had already arrived in front of Ulti, crossing his dual swords to create an 'X' shaped gleam, slashing straight down.
Boom!
The spiraling arrow broke through the corridor wall, creating a massive hole with spiral marks. In the echo of this sound, a golden round hammer blocked it, suppressing the dual swords from advancing.
At this moment, Ulti's body suddenly swelled, her form elongated, ankles reversed, and her fingers transformed into long claws, changing into Human-Beast Form.
"Your strength has greatly increased... What form is this?"
Sipher laughed, "Never seen it before."
"Pachycephalosaurus, you idiot!"
Ulti shouted, her body pressing forward, pushing Sipher's dual swords backward. Her huge and elongated form looked down at Sipher from above, and suddenly her head slammed down.
"What Seven Stars, never heard of it, prepare to die! Ulti Head Spear!"
Sipher's dual swords slid, continuously stirring on the round hammer, bringing with them a strange force that bounced off, propelling him backward.
Bang!
Ulti's head drove straight down from above, blasting a huge hole in the floor, with splinters even slicing past Sipher's hair, lifting some strands.
Sipher watched Ulti lift her head from the floor and chuckled, "Not bad power, stronger than a cannon."
"If you have the guts, don't dodge! Slippery like an eel, not like a man!" Ulti yelled.
"Whether I'm a man isn't about words, little girl."
Sipher chuckled, "Pachycephalosaurus, huh? Zoan-type is quite nice, you can freely enhance your body's qualities and use more powerful moves. Unlike me, I need intel and time to fight the enemy, it's really exhausting."
"If it's that exhausting, then don't come looking for trouble!"
Ulti gripped the round hammer, in an instant bringing several residual shadows from top to bottom, striking fiercely at Sipher's head.
"Why are you all coming here? Feel my fury!"
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The round hammer struck fast, and after one quick hit, it lifted and slammed down hard repeatedly, pounding the ground in a connected series.
"Oh no..." Sipher had dodged before the hammer landed, watching the nearly consecutive hammer blows, a red flash appearing in his eyes, "Are the attacks this fierce too?"
"Don't dodge!"
Ulti shouted, following up, continuing to swing the round hammer.
Attack, attack, and attack again.
The round hammer attacks, alternating with her own high-hardness forehead attacks, continuously hitting at Sipher, but still unable to land a hit, as the opponent was slippery like an eel in water.
Even though her height was taller and her arms longer, trying her best to close in on Sipher to bring him within attack range.
But she just couldn't hit, even with her using Observation Haki to its fullest for perception. Yet the opponent seemed stronger, narrowly avoiding each strike, and in follow-up attacks, even forming premonition-like abilities, making Ulti increasingly anxious.
"Damn you!"
She swung out another hammer hit, missing again, and decided to discard the hammer, her entire body bursting once more, transforming into a masked Pachycephalosaurus.
Her elongated neck thrust forward, with her forehead covered in high-intensity Haki. With her larger body, she enveloped Sipher and delivered a headbutt.
Sipher spun his body, dodging the fiercer impact, but was suddenly grabbed by the shoulders with two giant claws.
"You're not getting away!"
Ulti glared with wide eyes, shouting, "No matter how agile, the size difference renders it useless!"
Boom!
Just as she finished speaking, she saw the Thorny-Backed Dragon Person ahead being hit by several spiral airstream arrows, piercing its limbs. The arrows, seemingly able to bend, pressed downward, pinning it directly to the floor.
"Page!!"
Ulti's eyes flared with red light, exclaiming in shock, instinctively wanting to go over, but her combat instincts told her she should first eliminate the threat.
"Die first! Rain of Ulti Head Spears!!"
Her head flickered like a pile driver in the air with residual images, preparing to take down the bothersome guy with one move.
Whoosh!!
But just as she launched the attack, two cold lights suddenly appeared in front of her, splattering some droplets of blood. The flying blood drops appeared in her vision, carrying a spiral in her pupils, and she fell down.
In the blurry vision, she could only see Sipher's legs and two swords dripping blood from the blades.
"No good..."
Sipher laughed, "This level is simply not enough, too predictable. Concentrating Haki on the forehead, attacking with the hardest part, you've got power, but no defense at all. Depending on being Zoan-type to completely abandon defense?"
He looked at Ulti gradually reverting from Pachycephalosaurus form to human form, her eyes rolled back, unconscious, and said,
"Encountering a stronger one, although an all-out attack does have its merits, but be cautious as well, without reason, you can't fight."
He flicked his dual swords, and the blood dripping on the blade splattered onto the ground.
"Well then, next..."
Sipher looked to the side, suddenly paused, then shook his head and smiled, "What, got away? Never mind, there are always Pirates like that."
