Chapter 586: The New Aragami, Vegapunk Resurrected!
Since Nirvash could block most physical damage, Ryuunosuke chose a soul based strike instead.
The soul power bound to the Underworld Pact was anything but weak. As Ryuunosuke’s strength rose, the weapon in his hand grew sharper with him.
A terrifying slash swallowed Nirvash whole.
The next moment, a shriek tore out of Nirvash’s throat, raw and pained.
That had never happened in the fight with Gaino.
Which meant Ryuunosuke’s attack had worked.
"Gaino, next hit a point. Preferably a joint."
"I’ll lock his movements."
The instant Ryuunosuke finished speaking, he activated all of his Nen abilities at once.
At the same time, his vector counterattack also came online.
With both running together, he could build up an outrageous amount of power in a very short time.
"Understood, Captain!"
Gaino did not hesitate. He analyzed Nirvash’s structure at high speed, searching for the best weakness.
Then he aimed straight at Nirvash’s right arm joint and opened fire.
...
Meanwhile, on Alcatraz.
Many of the Aragami had already been restrained.
Most of the rest had chosen to commit suicide.
"Doflamingo, why do you think these Aragami want to die?"
Enel walked up to Doflamingo, brow furrowed.
They were supposedly fighting these monsters, but in reality, they were stopping them from killing themselves. The whole situation was bizarre.
And Enel could feel it in his bones.
Something was about to happen.
Boom, boom, boom!
An explosion roared in the distance.
Then four enormous Aragami rose into view.
"Damn, there was a bigger batch hiding here!"
"Everyone, stay sharp! Every one of these Aragami has its own special way of attacking. Do not try to take them head on!"
"Anyone weaker, fall back. Do not get caught in the crossfire."
"Doflamingo, you watch the restrained ones. Make sure they do not escape."
"These monsters are ours."
The moment Enel finished speaking, he became a bolt of lightning and shot forward.
Shinon immediately claimed the best sniping position she could find, ready to support at any second.
Kirito and the Five Elders rushed in as well.
The sudden appearance of four giant Aragami was not an accident.
And Vegapunk had been on this island far too long for it to be a simple vacation.
There was a very high chance he had been laying something down here, piece by piece.
In a situation like this, they had to be careful.
With the captain not present, there was a real chance they would die here.
And with Vegapunk’s methods, they might not even get the mercy of being brought back.
"Mara, we might be in deep trouble this time."
"If I get back alive, I’m done with the sea. Done."
"Let this be my last battlefield!"
Ethanbaron laughed loudly and charged in head first.
Peter eyes turned distant.
For so long, they had stood at the center of power, holding strength that could overturn the world.
With a single thought, they could erase a kingdom from the map.
But now, the situation had flipped.
And maybe it was not only Ethanbaron.
Maybe the other two felt it too.
These four enormous Aragami were all on the same level as the giant Aragami Ryuunosuke had fought before.
And there was something special inside their bodies.
Something that made them smarter, sharper, more dangerous.
The moment both sides collided, the battle erupted.
At this level, the Logistics Division had no right to interfere.
Even Shinon did not dare to enter up close. She could only provide support from afar.
Because at this level, even a glancing hit would be enough to cripple her.
A dozen minutes passed.
"Old man, you really shouldn’t be underestimated!"
"If you’d done this at a different time, you might have actually killed me!"
A figure slowly walked out of the smoke.
At the same time, that familiar voice carried across the battlefield.
"Vegapunk!"
Doflamingo’s expression changed instantly.
Someone who had just taken that kind of explosion should have been dead without a special method of resurrection.
Vegapunk glanced at him with a cold, dismissive look.
"Doflamingo, I have no intention of attacking you."
"Release my little darling, then get lost."
In Vegapunk’s eyes, even if Doflamingo had joined Ryuunosuke’s Dragon Hunter Pirates, it was only for profit.
A man like Doflamingo was a businessman to the bone.
"Vegapunk, you misunderstand."
"There is no deal between us anymore."
"So either act, or stand there and watch."
Doflamingo lifted his hand.
The surrounding threads began to writhe and dance, ready to snap shut at the first sign of movement.
The moment Vegapunk tried anything, Doflamingo would strike.
And after that...
Bang!
A fist smashed into Doflamingo’s face.
He was blasted away.
Then a hand clamped around his neck.
"I already told you. You can leave."
"If you refuse, then become my little cutie."
"At that time..."
Bang!
A dull impact echoed.
The arm holding Doflamingo snapped clean off.
Vegapunk stared at his severed limb, then slowly turned his head toward the ship.
Shinon.
She was the one who had fired.
Vegapunk’s gaze locked onto her, and Shinon immediately fired a second shot.
Then she shifted position, preparing to move again.
Vegapunk’s voice turned soft, almost amused.
"Little sister, sneaking someone like that is a bad habit."
"Since you love ambushes so much, I’ll have to kill you first."
"Otherwise, things get troublesome."
As he spoke, his severed arm regenerated in an instant.
A sharp bone spur formed in his palm, and he lunged, stabbing straight toward Shinon.
"Ha!"
A golden flash cut through the air.
A broad chest pulled Shinon into an embrace, dragging her out of the strike’s path.
"Mr. Escanor!"
Shinon exhaled, relief flooding her.
If Escanor was here, then this could be resolved.
She had seen his battles more than once.
That kind of crushing power was more than enough for a situation like this.
And if Escanor was here, then the rest of the Fourth Division should be...
Shinon looked to the side.
Sure enough, a familiar ship had arrived.
At the bow stood Meliodas, the captain of the Fourth Division.
And behind him, the rest of the Fourth Division had come with him.
"Hahahaha... these monsters are actually pretty interesting!"
"Commander, I’m going in."
"Take your time."
Ban grinned and sprinted straight at the four enormous Aragami.
By now, they had already figured out how to deal with these creatures.
An Aragami would not truly die unless its core was destroyed.
Its body could regenerate, again and again, but after several rebirths, its energy would be nearly drained, and it would lose the ability to move.
That kind of regeneration was practically demonic.
And Ban looked thrilled to fight something like that.
"Merlin, go help."
"Do not let that energy escape."
Meliodas’s voice cut through the chaos as he gave the order to the languid Marlene.
"Understood, Commander!"
Merlin nodded once, then launched herself forward as well.
