Makoto and Beam leaped into the air.
But halfway through their jump, it was clear that the Kuja women were battle-hardened… the moment the two were mid-air, countless female pirates had already drawn their bows and arrows, coating the arrows with Armament Haki.
Swish swish swish—
A volley of arrows was unleashed.
"Chainsaw-sama, look out!"
Beam, who had transformed into his beast form, shouted, then changed back into his shark form, opened his huge mouth wide, and directly enclosed Makoto inside, using his body as a shield to block the rain of arrows.
Splurt.
Countless arrows turned Beam, in his shark form, into a pincushion.
Gloriosa and the others below were startled by the loyalty Beam displayed.
With a 'splash', Beam fell to the ground.
Makoto walked out of his gaping mouth and looked helplessly at Beam lying on the ground.
"What are you doing?"
Beam, skewered like a hedgehog, twitched and said, "So-Sorry. My-My body just moved on its own..."
Makoto was speechless for the second time.
These lines felt just like Sasuke protecting Naruto when facing Haku.
But the problem was, he wasn't as weak as Naruto was back then.
'Did I really need protection from that level of attack?'
Beam was ecstatic inside: 'Great, finally took a bullet... well, an arrow for Chainsaw-sama!'
After a brief moment of surprise, the surrounding Kuja female pirates had already surrounded the two again, drawing their bows and arrows once more, aiming at Makoto.
They felt Beam was no longer a threat.
Makoto looked around and said, "Hand over this ship. Then call Shakky out so I can see her. I won't say it a third time."
But Gloriosa's answer was only two words: "Loose arrows!"
Swish swish swish!
Another rain of dense arrows came flying in.
Suddenly, grey-black energy like flames ignited on Makoto's body surface, instantly covering both him and Beam.
Those arrows coated with Armament Haki, upon hitting it, were all shattered to pieces instead.
The next second, under the incredulous gazes of the Kuja female pirates, the grey-black energy transformed into a giant whose head and hands had chainsaws.
Vroom vroom vroom!
The sound of chainsaws roared.
The second form of Susanoo casually swung its blade, directly bisecting a dozen or so Kuja female pirates at the waist.
This bloody scene turned the other female pirates' faces pale with fright.
To be honest, as pirates, they should have been accustomed to such bloody scenes and shouldn't have reacted so poorly.
But in recent years, because of Shakky, even top-tier pirates like Rocks would show the Kuja Pirates some respect.
And over 99% of Marine soldiers lost their will to fight the moment they saw Shakky. As a result, the Kuja Pirates hadn't seen real combat in years. It was no wonder they were so shaken.
Moreover, this slash from Susanoo was too powerful. It decapitated the two large water snakes tied to the ship and even cut off a corner of the bow, causing significant damage.
"Oh, no, no, can't use this kind of move." Seeing this, Makoto quickly withdrew Susanoo.
He was going to use this ship himself... he couldn't break it.
Then, under the stunned gazes of the other Kuja female pirates, Makoto walked over to the few female corpses, kicked the upper half of one of them towards Beam's mouth.
Beam, in shark form, opened his massive jaws and swallowed the female corpse in a few bites.
Instantly, Gloriosa and the others saw that the shark they had just shot into a pincushion was regrowing new flesh over its wounds.
"Oh dear..." Beam groaned, pulling the arrows out of his body.
Makoto kicked a few more female corpses over to him, and Beam, like a dog catching balls, swallowed them one after another.
Soon, he was completely recovered.
"Wh-Who exactly are you?" Gloriosa shouted.
"We? We're Devils." Beam said, somewhat airheadedly.
"Devils?" The Kuja members' expressions changed slightly. "What do you mean?"
"You killed Botan!"
Just then, a Kuja female pirate whom Makoto didn't recognize, holding a female corpse on the ground, cried out, drew her sword, and charged at the two.
"Don't act rashly!" Gloriosa shouted, but it was too late to stop her.
Makoto chuckled: "Why are you so agitated? You're pirates. You should be used to this kind of thing by now."
With that, Makoto slightly sidestepped to avoid the sword slash, twisted his waist, and executed a side kick, sending her flying into the sea.
He had been an advocate of gender equality in his previous life, so he wouldn't show mercy just because she was a woman.
'Besides, you're a criminal. Do you think being a woman gives you a free pass?'
'If I had to watch you feminists back in my previous life, and now I have to watch you feminists here too, wouldn't that mean my reincarnation was for nothing?'
Several Kuja Pirates' crew members who were close to that female pirate saw this and prepared to jump into the sea to save her.
But before they could act, they saw her already floating to the surface, her face blank, her head tilted, motionless on the water.
Using a bit of Observation Haki, they could tell she was already dead.
"You... you!"
Instantly, the entire Kuja Pirates' crew was enraged. One by one, they drew their close-quarters weapons and charged at Makoto shouting.
To avoid further damage to the ship, Makoto refrained from using large-scale attacks. Instead, he relied on his Taijutsu, weaving between the women and countering with punches and kicks.
It must be said, the physiques of people in the One Piece World were indeed good. Although Makoto wasn't using his full strength, many of them still didn't die after taking a punch, proving that the average physical fitness in the One Piece World was indeed above that of the Naruto World.
Speaking of which, if that's the case, how did Kuina die just by falling down the stairs?
"Damn it! You stop right there!"
Just then, a pair of long legs kicked open a door from inside a room and charged out.
On her way towards Makoto, those long legs, wearing high heels that defied gravity, turned a gleaming dark black and aimed a vicious kick at him… this fighting style was very similar to Hancock's in the future.
She aimed a lower kick at Makoto's chin.
Makoto raised an eyebrow, 'Oh, a thong.'
It wasn't that Makoto was deliberately looking, but the pose she struck made it very easy to see up her skirt, especially since she was wearing a high-slit miniskirt.
Bang!
The next second, Shakky felt her foot go numb.
Looking up, she saw a grey-black ribcage-like shield suddenly appear in front of this man, completely isolating her kick.
Makoto also got a clear look at her.
After a half-second pause, Makoto, who had experienced countless women, gave this Supreme Great Succubus the utmost respect.
Hmm, how to put it...
She was indeed quite beautiful, but not as exaggerated as he had imagined.
To be honest, Makoto didn't think she was as beautiful as Hancock.
He couldn't figure it out… how did she manage to bewitch Roger, Whitebeard, and even Rocks so completely?
