The sound of roars continued incessantly.
Tiandao Payne held a black stick and struck quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly!
Not the slightest thought of pity!
Hina fought and retreated, looking embarrassed!
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
"Boom! Boom...
"Rumble rumble!!!
On the other side, on the street.
Kronos strode along with the rest of the Kamui Pirates.
Meanwhile, Hina and Tiandao Payne were fighting inside a residential building, and the smoke and vibrations were noticeable.
But as Kronos walked along, he slowly began to slow down, until he came to a complete stop.
Seeing Kronos stop, Konan, who was beside him, couldn't help but cast a suspicious look.
"What's wrong?"
Kronos sighed softly.
"Ah, it's nothing... just a sudden feeling of concern."
He glanced sideways at the spot where Hina and Tiandao Payne were still battling.
He saw that the two were still fiercely fighting, having already pierced through the walls of several residential buildings.
Konan followed Kronos' gaze and paused for a moment before speaking.
"Don't you want to help Payne deal with her alone? I can assist him."
With that, Konan turned to support Payne.
But as soon as she took a step, Kronos grabbed her arm.
This made Konan look back at him, puzzled.
Before Konan could say anything, Kronos explained with a smile.
"I'm not worried about Payne's ability to beat her; I know his strength very well."
"What concerns me is something else..."
Just as Kronos spoke, it was clear to him that Tiandao Payne was incredibly powerful.
If you were to measure him by the power of this world, Tiandao Payne's strength was on the level of an Admiral.
Even if he didn't reach that level exactly, his power was infinitely close to an Admiral's.
With his Rinnegan, which allowed him to see everything, combined with his Penultimate physique, he was formidable!
Not to mention his powerful abilities, such as Shinra Tensei, Universal Pull, Planetary Devastation, and more!
On the other side, Hina, who was losing ground in her battle with Tiandao Payne, was starting to doubt herself.
"Boom! Boom!!"
Two loud bangs echoed as Hina's body was sent flying, smashing through two stone walls one after another before crashing heavily to the ground and rolling several times.
"Boom boom..."
But soon, Hina stood up.
She leaned against the wall, watching the movement in the smoke ahead.
Now, the front of her was completely shrouded in thick smoke.
She couldn't see anything with the naked eye.
And Tiandao Payne hadn't caught up yet, his figure not yet revealed.
So for a moment, Hina didn't dare to act rashly.
"Am I too weak?"
"Or... is that guy just too strong?!"
Hina murmured softly, filled with self-doubt.
At this moment, she had already been injured, and her clothes were also stained with dirt.
From the moment she started fighting Tiandao Payne, she had been at a disadvantage, being constantly pressed and beaten.
It was no wonder she was feeling doubtful.
But very quickly, she dismissed the thought that she was weak.
She knew and had confidence in her own strength!
"I'm being overwhelmed by Tiandao Payne simply because he's stronger than me!"
However, though she dismissed the idea of being weak, Hina didn't become reckless.
Instead, her face hardened with determination, her expression serious, as if facing a powerful opponent.
"But can one person be so much stronger than me?!"
"What kind of pirates are these Kamui Pirates?!"
"Hina can't accept this!"
Her pupils trembled slightly.
Hina found it hard to accept the situation before her.
According to the archives of the Kamui Pirates, they had escaped with the help of hero Garp, Vice Admiral, and Admiral Aokiji.
But what wasn't in the file was this:
Every single member of the Kamui Pirates was so powerful!
"The person I'm fighting isn't even listed on the Kamui Pirates' wanted list."
"He should have only recently joined the Kamui Pirates!"
"Yet, such a rookie pirate, who joined not long ago, possesses this kind of strength."
"Then, how powerful must the captain of the Kamui Pirates be to have such strong crew members?!"
The more Hina thought about it, the more frightened she became.
While she was shocked, Hina suddenly noticed movement in the thick smoke.
Realizing this, her pupils shrank, and in the next second, she couldn't hold back anymore.
She clenched her fists and stepped forward, sinking her waist and gathering strength before throwing a straight punch into the swirling smoke.
"Shhh!!"
The wind from her punch howled, and the sound of it slicing through the air rang out.
Hina's fist plunged straight into the thick smoke.
Then came a dull thud.
"Boom!!"
Her punch hit something solid.
The residual power and impact from the blow tore away the dense smoke and dust surrounding the area.
"Boom~"
The figure hidden in the smoke was slowly revealed at that moment.
Hina looked at where her punch had landed, but then, she froze.
Because her punch was caught by a large hand!
'Blocked... blocked?!'
Hina was shocked and instinctively looked up.
But the face she saw was not the cold one she had expected.
It wasn't Tiandao Payne with his purple eyes and black circular patterns.
It was the captain of the Kamui Pirates, Kronos!
Hina lifted her head slightly, looking at Kronos with some disappointment.
Kronos, meanwhile, held Hina's fist in one hand.
He slightly lowered his head and looked at her calmly.
"Go back for now, Tiandao Payne."
"I'll handle it here."
Kronos said in a calm tone, simultaneously waving his hand to signal Tiandao Payne to step back.
When Hina heard Kronos speak, she was stunned and quickly turned her head to look in the direction where he had waved.
Immediately after, she saw Tiandao Payne, who had looked indifferent the entire time, without changing his expression, and with great power... actually obeying Kronos and stepping back.
Seeing this with her own eyes, Hina's heart was shaken to its core.
'A person with such powerful strength actually needs to obey him?!'
