Boom!!
On the ground, five or six gigantic dragons formed from earth burst up from below, surging forward with terrifying momentum.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
Countless fireballs the size of fists streaked out of the darkness like meteors tearing across the night sky.
Crackle!!!
Blue white lightning raged across the ground, writhing like countless electric serpents.
Boom boom boom!!!!
"Aaah! Save me!"
Under the bombardment of ninjutsu, mafia members were blasted away or scorched, their screams rising one after another and echoing through the night.
At the same time, shadowy figures shot out of the darkness like arrows, charging straight into the crowd.
"Enemy attack! We're under attack!!"
"Shoot! Hurry, shoot!"
"Where are the rocket launchers?! Fire! Blow them to pieces!"
After a brief panic, most of the mafia finally snapped back to their senses. In a frenzy, they raised their guns. Some even hoisted rocket launchers, aimed at the ANBU rushing in, and yanked the triggers.
However
Click. Click.
No gunshots.
No launch.
Only small black bugs crawled slowly out of the barrels, as if mocking their helplessness.
"What?! What's going on?! Why won't my gun fire?! Why won't my rocket launcher work?!" A mafia member holding a rocket launcher slapped at the tube in a panic, trying to knock off the bugs swarming over it.
With his frantic blows, a mass of bugs fell away.
Then he sensed something, jerked his head up, and a cold flash cut across his vision.
In the next instant, his body went limp and collapsed.
An ANBU member glanced at him without emotion and immediately lunged toward the next target.
All around, the ANBU moved like wolves among sheep. Kunai and short blades flashed again and again, and every strike dropped another mafia member.
With fire and lightning attacks mixed in, the mafia fell in groups.
With their firearms rendered useless, they were no match for battle hardened ANBU. They were slaughtered with no chance to fight back.
Terror swallowed them whole. The mafia no longer dared to attack, only to flee in panic.
But the ANBU were faster, weaving through the crowd like lightning and taking lives one after another.
Screams, explosions, and desperate cries collided into a chaotic storm that filled the night.
"This This can't be happening…" Watching the scene, every cadre, including the boss Ante, felt a chill pierce their bones.
The Gambino family, famous across the West Blue, was being crushed by only a few dozen people.
"Devil Fruit users How could this be They have so many Devil Fruit users…" Clyde, himself a Devil Fruit user, stared at the ANBU who casually unleashed ninjutsu and erased large numbers of their men. His face turned deathly pale as he muttered in disbelief.
"Boss, what do we do? Are we really going to just stand here and watch them kill all our people?" Milan's hand moved to the long blade at her waist. Her expression was heavy as she looked to Ante for an answer.
The others also turned to Ante, waiting for his decision.
Ante watched his men drop one after another, watched the ANBU move like ghosts, and his face sank deeper and deeper.
Struggle flickered in his eyes, but in the end, he clenched his teeth and decided.
"We withdraw first. These monsters are too strong. Even one on one, we'd have a hard time. Get out, find a chance to investigate who they are. One day, I'll make them pay. No matter what it takes."
"Yes, boss!"
All the cadres quietly exhaled in relief.
To be honest, none of them wanted to face those terrifying people head on.
As for escape, they weren't worried. Besides the four docks, they had a ship hidden somewhere else, a lifeboat prepared for emergencies like this.
Ante led seven cadres, eight in total, turning to leave as fast as possible.
But Milan suddenly stopped.
Her expression went blank, as if her mind had been pulled somewhere else.
"Milan, what's wrong?" one cadre asked in surprise.
Slash!
A flash of steel.
The cadre froze, his face turning white as he looked down.
Milan had drawn her blade at some point, and it had pierced straight through his chest.
"Milan! What are you doing?!" Ante and the others recoiled instantly, spreading out and putting distance between themselves and her.
Thud.
The corpse hit the ground, eyes still wide.
Milan flicked the blade lightly, shaking off what clung to it. A strange smile appeared on her lifeless face.
"What am I doing?"
"Of course I'm taking your lives."
A cold, eerie male voice suddenly sounded behind Ante and the remaining cadres.
"Secret Technique: Partial Expansion Jutsu activated!"
"Run!!"
Ante's face changed. He reacted instantly, not even daring to turn his head as he threw himself to the side.
Clyde let out a low roar. His body swelled rapidly, transforming into a kangaroo as he dashed away at frightening speed.
Milan's expression remained blank, but a moment later, struggle flashed in her eyes, then clarity returned.
She didn't stop to breathe. She stumbled, rolled to the side, then bolted away without hesitation.
Not far away, an ANBU member crouched low with hands held in a strange seal. He opened his eyes, glanced at Milan, and muttered, "She broke free from the Mind Transfer Jutsu. Strong will."
Before the words even finished
Boom!!!
A gigantic hand dropped from above and slammed into the ground.
Five cadres who failed to escape in time were crushed in an instant.
The earth shook violently, cracks spreading outward.
Seeing that scene, the survivors, Clyde and Ante, had their faces twist with shock.
