"Looking for a fight?"
Thea, controlling Vista's body, exaggeratedly clutched her chest and let out a piercing laugh:
"You're trapped by the Slow Light Wave, barely able to lift a finger. How will you resist? Just stand still and wait to be parasitized by me!"
As she spoke.
She struck a pose with her hands crossed in an eight-shaped camera-like gesture, aiming at Shano. This seemed to be the necessary precondition for activating her ability to possess someone else's body.
"Ugh..."
Beside her, Kieran scratched his head hesitantly, saying, "Something's not quite right, Third Sister. When he vomited earlier, his movements seemed pretty smooth..."
"Smooth?"
Thea was taken aback, recalling the earlier scene, and instantly shivered in fear.
"You've finally realized it."
Before she could react, she saw Shano grinning, his right hand suddenly clenched into a fist, and pure black lightning entwined it.
Boom!
Extremely powerful Armament Haki exploded with a bang, and the transparent barriers around him shattered like glass. The Slow Light Wave's restraint was also instantly shaken off!
"Impossible?!"
"Our abilities, simultaneously...?"
Kieran and Nemo's eyes bulged, mouths agape in shock.
"In this world, so-called Haki can transcend all Fruit Abilities!"
Shano stepped out from the scattered light particles, flexing his wrist, looking down coldly at the three:
"Three Paramecia-types with such limited development, daring to show off in front of me?"
"Run! Split up and run!"
Thea trembled, the first to react, screamed, and turned to flee at full speed.
The scheme had failed. Without the restraint of Fruit Abilities, even if the three of them teamed up with all their might, they would never be a match for this guy.
The three seemed very familiar with the terrain around here, and in no time, they separated and ran far away, especially Thea, who sprinted rapidly, pulling a hundred-meter gap in no time.
But in the next second...
Swoosh!
Shano's figure vanished without a trace from his original spot, instantly reappearing in front of Thea, gripping her neck like an iron clamp.
"Relying on a sneak attack to take down Vista, you naively thought the Parasite Fruit would affect me as well?"
Shano grinned, wrapping his left hand into a fist entwined with Armament, "Then try it, see if your parasite ability can break through my peak Haki!"
"You bastard..."
Thea gritted her teeth, just about to speak when Shano's fist mercilessly struck Vista's abdomen!
"Pfft!"
A large mouthful of blood spewed out, Thea's vision darkened, her consciousness shaken instantly, nearly unable to maintain the parasitic state.
"Third Sister!"
Kieran and Nemo, seeing the situation, immediately stopped and turned, yelling out as they attempted to rush forward and rescue.
"Courting death."
Shano snorted coldly, without turning back, slightly releasing his Supreme King Haki. The two were instantly struck as if by lightning, dropping to their knees, foaming at the mouth, and fainting.
"Now, only you remain."
Shano looked at the Thea in his hands and said indifferently, "Get out of Vista's body, or I won't mind smashing his body as well."
"You... you wouldn't dare!"
Thea wiped the blood from her mouth with difficulty, squeezing out a sinister smile:
"This mustached man is one of Whitebeard's most trusted veteran captains. Kill me, and Flower Sword Vista will disappear from this world. Old Whitebeard won't spare you!"
"Are you insane?"
Shano looked at her strangely, "You know who I am, yet you still think I'd fear the name Whitebeard?"
That seems to be true.
Recalling the opponent's terrifying achievements, cold sweat trickled down Thea's forehead, her Adam's apple bobbing with regret.
What was she thinking, getting so obsessed to that extent...
Daring to provoke this guy!
Seeing her silent, Shano shook his head slightly. Not bothering with hesitation, he pressed his fist against her chest.
The chilling black-red lightning began to flicker faintly...
"Wait! I'm coming out! I'm coming out now!"
Feeling the terrifying intimidation of the Supreme King Haki and the threat of imminent death, Thea finally broke down, crying and wailing as she separated from Vista's body.
This scene was somewhat reminiscent of Brook's Revive-Revive Fruit.
A translucent pale-pink soul-like entity floated out from Vista's body, vaguely revealing the silhouette of a woman in her twenties, with a relatively pretty face.
Before she could escape, a large hand entwined with thick Haki reached out and crushed her.
"Ah!!!"
In a shrill scream, Thea's soul was crushed by Shano, disintegrating into tiny transparent particles, completely dissipating into the air.
Thud.
Vista's body limply fell.
Shano reached out to support him, placing his right hand under Vista's nose, checking his condition slightly.
"Thankfully, just unconscious."
He then placed Vista by the wall, turning to look at the unconscious Kieran and Nemo on the ground, frowning with a trace of disgust in his eyes.
These underhanded rats, using others' names to swindle and murder. Just from Old Henry's experience in this Wuxing Island incident, countless merchants and their entourages fell victim to them.
In the end, they foolishly schemed against him, attempting to seize his body.
