Chapter 24: The Voidreign Pirates’ Unstoppable Might
The battlefield was fire and fury.
Smoke curled through the skies like the fingers of a dying beast, while the cries of clashing swords and roaring cannons echoed across the ruined shores. Blood stained the land and the sea alike as the proud banners of the Marines, once a symbol of law and order, fluttered in tatters. The ocean breeze carried the scent of gunpowder and burning ships. And amidst this chaos, the impossible was happening—the World Government's strongest force was falling apart, crushed under the relentless might of the Void Pirates.
They came like a storm.
At the heart of the chaos, two terrifying figures carved their way through the Marine ranks with terrifying grace and precision—Seraphim Mihawk and Seraphim Hancock. These weren't mere copies; they were living weapons, forged with Lunarian fire and enhanced lineage factors, combining the deadliest aspects of human and science.
Seraphim Mihawk and Hancock vs. The Vice Admirals
Vice Admiral Momonga surged forward, his eyes focused, blade gleaming in the smokechoked sunlight. He launched a fierce diagonal slash aimed at Seraphim Hancock's heart. But she moved with elegance—twisting, spinning midair like a dancer caught in her own rhythm. Her eyes met his with haunting beauty, and in a single glance, Momonga froze.
Literally.
Stone crept up his arms, his face, his blade—until he became a marble statue, midattack. One of the proudest Vice Admirals was turned to a monument of his own failure.
Elsewhere, Seraphim Mihawk faced Vice Admiral Onigumo. Their blades screamed as they collided again and again, sparks showering the air with each furious strike. Onigumo, with six spiderlike appendages, attacked from every angle, but Seraphim Mihawk stood unmoved—his golden eyes cold, precise. One clean horizontal arc shattered Onigumo's defense, followed by a devastating upward slash that sent him flying into a broken battleship. The Vice Admiral did not rise again.
