Little Boa Hancock, S-Snake Woman led the attack, once again holding a heart and launching heart-shaped light waves.
At the same time, from the rear, S-Eagle jumped up again, the big sword in his hand covered with Armament Haki, slashed down with great force.
"Using abilities well."
Lily swiftly drew her sword, once again extinguishing the heart-shaped light wave.
This ability is just like Boa Hancock's. Besides turning restless-hearted people into stone, once developed to a certain extent, it can also have conceptual abilities—whether evil-minded or not, once hit, one will definitely turn to stone.
As for whether it's Haki that can resist the ability or the ability that can overcome Haki, that depends on who is stronger.
Lily had no interest in comparing with her, directly slashing was enough, a sword crossed, and she didn't evade. The cold light in her hand flicked upwards, piercing through the big sword below, its light penetrating S-Eagle's chest, stiffening him in the air, his big sword fell to the ground with a clang.
Lily flicked her sword, and S-Eagle flew off from the blade, crashing into S-Bear who had already extended his hand ready to unleash an air-compressed shockwave, knocking him down together.
"Slash."
She whispered, her form quickly flashed aside, the sword already flickering with bluish-white Supreme King's Entanglement, both her body and sword turned into bluish-white lightning, instantly rushing to S-Snake Woman, the lightning flashed diagonally. In S-Snake Woman's surprised gaze, Lily finally appeared before her, white lightning sliced upward, hitting the S-Snake Woman, causing her to fall backward to the ground.
The ground at the rear rippled like water, the figure of little Jinbe, S-Shark, darted out, but as soon as half emerged, with fist clenched, Lily slashed backward, akin to a lightning horizontal sweep, rushing through S-Shark's chest with such force that he flew off the ground, heavily falling.
Shhh!
In the next moment, flickering lightning appeared beside S-Bear, slashing down again, the light flickered at his waist and ribs, causing him to fall, unable to rise.
"This is the gap."
Lily dispersed the Supreme King's Entanglement on her sword, sheathed the white lightning at her waist, not even glancing at the four artificial humans lying down, walked towards the gate.
These artificial humans are actually formidable, though they can't handle the Seven Warlords of the Sea, they can definitely deal with pirates below the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
But the Seven Warlords aren't commonplace, every one is the most standard silver player on the sea, an existence that can be called a 'vice-emperor'. If considered by practicality, obedient artificial humans are surely better than the Seven Warlords, each with own purpose.
However, real strong people on the sea are still beyond current technological reach.
Lily is an existence beyond the 'vice-emperor'.
At the door, Lily sliced down, breaking the door, stepping inside.
Just as she stepped in, Lily saw a long square nose wrapped in bandages yelling: "Stop, that is..."
Lily didn't even draw her sword, the forefinger in the white glove swiftly jabbed leftward where a short-haired golden woman, wings sprouting on her back, fangs bared, was about to bite her, but Lily's haki-imbued finger targeted her throat.
"One of us."
The long nose finished his sentence while Lily's finger had already halted at the throat before the face got close.
"Surrender."
The short-haired golden woman raised her hands, withdrew the fangs and wings, "Against Sword Princess, I have no chance."
"Kaku..."
Lily frowned, "Ending up like this, this battlefield, it's not for you and Lucci."
As she said this, she withdrew her hand, looked at the exquisite doll-like facial features of the woman, and said:
"Stussy, I thought you were from the Underworld, but you're connected with the World Government?"
This woman before her, Lily knew, was once one of the 'Six Great Kings' of the Underworld, an entertainment industry tycoon, 'Joyful Queen' Stussy.
Why was it 'once,' because two of them had already been taken out by Sage.
"Both..."
Stussy smiled faintly, "I'm a CP0 of the World Government, their intelligence operative in the Underworld. At the same time, I was made by Vegapunk, modeled after Buckingham, once Weevil's 'mother', Mr. Buckingham."
"An artificial human too?"
Lily said, "Vegapunk is battling the Navy, yet you saved Kaku... Rebellion? Which side are you actually on?"
Stussy, upon hearing, revealed a bitter smile, "Can machines like me even choose sides?"
Lily walked toward Kaku, glanced at him confirmed to be only heavily injured, then turned her head and said:
"Artificial humans aren't machines, equipped with emotions, hearts, able to think and communicate normally. As humans, they naturally have the freedom to choose. Of course, also the consequence of bearing the cost of the choice made."
Having seen artificial humans like 'Blackfoot', she certainly didn't consider them mere machines. Such science tech, the result is hardly different from naturally born ones, just needing a bit of innate tweaking.
Born with hearts and emotions, made ones might need some sense perception and experience.
"She saved me."
Kaku slowly said, "I saw through surveillance, the Five Elders are all out, if I'm here... Might not even save my life, should 'disappear'. Lady Lily, O'hara still willing to shelter me..."
"Still a chance, not wanting to be a double agent?" Lily said.
