Chapter 127: Mutual Capture

With Smoothie’s roar.

Dozens of slashes were swung by Smoothie simultaneously, striking at Lin Yu, who had turned into lightning, with lightning speed.

"Smoothie’s slash speed is actually this fast?"

Seeing that the slash speed could actually catch up to him, Lin Yu’s mouth twitched, revealing his figure, and he dodged to the side, avoiding the dozens of Armament Haki-coated slashes from Smoothie.

He had just turned into lightning, and his speed was extremely fast; he didn't expect to be captured by Smoothie’s Observation Haki.

Even more unexpectedly, Smoothie was able to intercept him with such a swift sword technique.

Sure enough, these Sweet Commanders and All-Stars were not so easy to deal with.

Seeing Smoothie, who was on guard and ready to swing her sword to intercept his escape, Lin Yu, who was hovering in mid-air using the power of wind, frowned.

Although his current strength had reached the level of a Marine Headquarters elite Vice Admiral.

But facing a Sweet Commander like Smoothie, he still didn't have much chance of winning.

Because his combat power was piled up by the Devil Fruit abilities he had obtained; both his three physical attributes and his three types of Haki were far behind.

Under the condition that Haki could, to a certain extent, immunize against Devil Fruit abilities.

With his physical attributes and three types of Haki only at about Five Stars, he couldn't compare to veteran pirates like Katakuri and Smoothie.

Moreover, in Lin Yu’s eyes, Marine elite Vice Admirals also had strong and weak ones.

Anyone who has read the One Piece manga knows that the rank of Marine Vice Admiral has a very high combat power ceiling and a very low floor.

Strong ones like Garp, Tsuru, Momousagi, and Chaton are all Vice Admirals.

Weaker ones like Saul could be instantly killed by Aokiji, who was also a Vice Admiral at the time.

Therefore, Lin Yu had no intention of fighting Smoothie with pure strength right now.

Just as Lin Yu and Smoothie were in a stalemate.

Page One, who was less injured and the first to recover from the lightning paralysis, saw Lin Yu being intercepted by Smoothie and suddenly broke free from his grasp.

"I’ll leave my sister to you, brother-in-law."

After landing on the ground, Page One transformed into his dinosaur form again and charged at Smoothie.

Although he didn't know why Lin Yu had become this way, Page One recognized him through the abilities he used.

As long as his sister could escape, that was enough for Page One!

"PAGE!!!"

Ulti, who was more severely injured, recovered from the paralysis, saw Page One’s figure, and was shocked.

However, just as Ulti was about to struggle, she was paralyzed again by Lin Yu’s lightning strike.

Glancing at Page One, Lin Yu turned into lightning again and rushed into the distance.

Since Page One had already made up his mind, he shouldn't act all sentimental.

This was the respect Page One deserved.

Opening the small Den Den Mushi on his wrist, Lin Yu said in a deep voice:

"Reiju, capture one of Smoothie’s two twin sisters for me!"

"Understood, Lin Yu."

Reiju turned off the Den Den Mushi, glanced at Charlotte Cinnamon, who had been electrocuted by Nami’s lightning, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

When she saw Smoothie leave her two sisters behind and rush to deal with Lin Yu.

She had directly taken Nami, Robin, Mikita, and Nojiko to intercept Smoothie’s twin sisters, Charlotte Citron and Charlotte Cinnamon.

Preparing to capture one as a hostage to prevent any accidents.

She didn't expect that she would actually guess right.

"Damn it!"

Smoothie saw Lin Yu turn into lightning and escape again, gnashing her teeth in anger.

However, she was now entangled by Page One and couldn't spare a hand to intercept him.

After entangling Smoothie for a while, seeing Lin Yu successfully escape with his sister, Page One reverted to human form and collapsed on the ground, exhausted.

He had long been beaten black and blue by Oven, Daifuku, and the others, and then took a big move from Lin Yu; even with his Zoan physical attributes, he couldn't hold on.

If it weren't for his sister’s successful escape, he wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.

"Damn it!"

At this time, Oven, Daifuku, and the others recovered from the paralysis, gnashing their teeth at Lin Yu, who had run away.

None of them had the physical attributes of Page One’s Ancient Zoan, so they recovered more slowly.

"How should we deal with him?" Daifuku said, looking at Page One, who was collapsed on the ground.

"Take him back and hand him over to brother Katakuri." Smoothie shrank her body and returned her long sword to its spiral scabbard.

Suddenly, a giant, wounded figure ran over from the distance, panting as she looked at Smoothie and said:

"Sister Smoothie, Cinnamon has been captured!"

Hearing Citron’s words, Smoothie was suddenly startled, looking at her in shock.

"What did you say!!!"

Citron caught her breath and said again: "Cinnamon was captured by someone."

Hearing this, Smoothie rushed toward the direction Citron had run from, preparing to search and see if she could chase Cinnamon back.

Cinnamon was her and Citron’s twin sister; she absolutely would not allow any harm to come to her.

Oven, Daifuku, and the others were furious and hurriedly asked Citron: "Captured by whom??"

Citron glanced at the departing Smoothie and shook her head: "I don't know, they were all wearing masks. If it weren't for them letting me come back to deliver a message, I would have been captured too."

"This is the Den Den Mushi they left behind, saying they would call us later."

"Left a Den Den Mushi?" Oven, Daifuku, and the others were stunned.

Were they preparing to make them pay a ransom?

Who exactly were these people, daring to kidnap someone from their Big Mom Pirates!

Page One, collapsed on the ground, heard their conversation, was stunned, and thoughts flashed through his mind.

Perhaps, maybe, probably, the person who captured Cinnamon was that person he was made to call brother-in-law.

If that was really the case, Page One liked this brother-in-law a little bit.

Not long after, a gloomy-faced Smoothie returned from the distance; she still hadn't been able to track Cinnamon’s trail.

Smoothie glanced at Page One lying on the ground and turned to leave.

"Take him back to brother Katakuri; this matter is nine times out of ten related to him."

18th Grove area, inside a nameless bar.

Katakuri, who had just learned that Cinnamon had been kidnapped, looked gloomily at Smoothie, Daifuku, and Oven in front of him.

"Tell me the whole story, from beginning to end!"

Hearing Katakuri’s questioning, Smoothie pursed her lips and said in a low voice:

"Sorry, brother, it was my negligence."

"Just now, when Oven and Daifuku were about to take down those two Flying Six of the Beast Pirates, a man who could use the power of lightning suddenly appeared..."

A man who suspectedly possessed the Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability and could hover using wind...

Katakuri heard Smoothie’s report, frowned, and sighed silently.

Because he already knew who this man was.
