Chapter 252: Mutual Capture

As Smoothie roared.

Dozens of slashes were swung out by Smoothie simultaneously, striking Lin Yu, who had transformed into lightning, with the speed of thunder before one could cover one's ears.

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

Seeing that the slash speed could actually catch up to him, Lin Yu's mouth twitched; he revealed his form, flashed to the side, and dodged Smoothie's dozens of slashes infused with Armament Haki.

He had just transformed into thunder, moving at extreme speed, yet he never expected to still be captured by Smoothie's Observation Haki.

Even more unexpected was that Smoothie could actually intercept him relying on such swift sword techniques.

Indeed, these Warlords and Big Names are not so easily dealt with.

Seeing Smoothie, who looked vigilant and casually prepared to swing her sword to intercept his escape, Lin Yu, hovering in mid-air using wind power, frowned.

Although his current strength had already reached the level of a Navy Elite Vice Admiral.

Facing this Warlord Smoothie, he still did not have much chance of victory.

Because his combat power was all piled up by the Devil Fruit abilities he had obtained; whether it was his three physical attributes or the foundation of his three colors of Haki, they were far too lacking.

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

With physical attributes and three colors of Haki only at roughly five stars, he simply could not compare to veteran pirates like Katakuri and Smoothie.

Moreover, in Lin Yu's eyes, Navy Elite Vice Admirals also vary from strong to weak.

Anyone who has read the One Piece manga knows that the position of Navy Vice Admiral has an extremely high upper limit for combat power and an extremely low lower limit.

As strong as Garp, Tsuru, Momousagi, and Chachapoy, these people are all Vice Admirals.

Those who are weaker, like Sauro, could be instantly defeated by Aokiji, who was also a Vice Admiral at the time, with a casual move.

Therefore, the current Lin Yu had no thought of fighting Smoothie on pure strength.

Just as Lin Yu and Smoothie were locked in a stalemate.

Pegwan, whose injuries were lighter and who had recovered from the lightning paralysis first, saw Lin Yu intercepted by Smoothie and suddenly broke free from her grasp.

"I leave big sister to you, brother-in-law."

After landing on the ground, Pegwan transformed back into his dinosaur form and charged at Smoothie.

Although he did not know why Lin Yu had turned into this form, Pegwan still recognized the other party through the abilities he used.

As long as big sister could escape, that would be enough for Pegwan!

"Little Pe!!!"

Runty, whose injuries were heavier, recovered from the paralysis and, seeing Pegwan's figure, was instantly shocked.

However, just as Runty prepared to struggle, she was paralyzed again by Lin Yu's lightning strike.

Glancing at Pegwan, Lin Yu transformed into thunder once more and charged toward the distance.

Since Pegwan had already made his resolve, he should not act indecisive and nagging.

This is respect for Pegwan.

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 small Den Den Mushi, glanced at Xia Luote Snomone, who had been electrocuted and knocked out by Nami's lightning strike beneath her feet, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

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

she immediately led Nami, Robin, Miquita, and Nojiko to block Smoothie's twin sisters, Xia Luote Strephon and Xia Luote Snomone.

Preparing to capture one as a hostage to prevent the unexpected.

She never expected that she actually guessed correctly.

"Kuso! (Damn it!)"

Smoothie, seeing Lin Yu transform into lightning again and escape, ground her teeth in anger.

However, she was now entangled by Pegwan and could not spare a hand to intercept the other party.

After tying up Smoothie for a while, seeing Lin Yu successfully escape with big sister, Pegwan reverted to human form and collapsed directly onto the ground, exhausted.

He had long been beaten and battered by Owen, Daifuku, and others, and later took a direct hit from Lin Yu's ultimate move; even with his Zoan-type physical attributes, he could hardly hold on.
