One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 296 Restraint! The power of Rumble + Angewomon!

hum!
The next second, a dazzling golden holy light suddenly shone in the center of the summoning incantation!

A holy and pure aura swept across the entire battlefield, even purifying and dissipating the stench of blood that permeated the air.

"That is……"

Akainu looked up and his pupils contracted instantly.

Not only him, but everyone was drawn to the commotion, their attention awestruck by the golden holy light—

Eight snow-white wings slowly unfurled, long golden hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and the holy angel, clad in silver armor and draped in pink sash, finally descended to earth at this moment!

"The glutinous rice ball has come by summons to pay its respects to its master."

Angewomon knelt on one knee before Shano, speaking respectfully, her wings slightly folded, scattering specks of light dust.

"Get up."

Xia Nuo smiled and nodded.

Angewomon then stood up again, turned around, and her gaze swept over several top officials before landing directly on the five extremely conspicuous demons.

They were wearing a mask, so their faces were not visible.

But when she looked around and her gaze swept across the battlefield, everyone could feel an endless aura of majesty and compassion emanating from her!

Do we still have such strong support?

Jack stared blankly for several seconds before snapping out of it and scratching his head with his nose.

I have absolutely no recollection of him. I've never seen him before, whether on the ship or in the territory. The boss is really good at hiding things. Even we, the top officers, don't know him... Huh?

and many more!

Did this beautiful and holy angel just introduce herself as Nuomici (glutinous rice ball)?

Eh?
Glutinous rice balls?!
That little cat, Nuomici, who always likes to snuggle up to Boss Xia Nuo and act cute?!
Jack's nose froze on his head, completely dumbfounded.

Several top officials also realized what was happening and looked dumbfounded, while the Five Elders on the other side had a completely different reaction.

"Lunalia? Sky Islanders? Or... no, none of them!"

"That smell is disgusting! It's just not pleasing to the eye!"

"Who cares what race she is? She's just a woman. Kill her first, quick! Nasujuro!"

"Vocuri Saint, who has transformed into a giant boar, roared and urged us on!"

Nasujiro did not make a move immediately, but stared intently at Angewomon, a deep sense of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

disgust?

No, that's not right!

Rather than feeling disgust, it was more accurate to say that the holy and sacred aura seemed to be their natural enemy!

Even from a distance, just one glance is enough to send chills down your spine!
Angewomon's gaze finally settled on Nasujuro Sei.

"It seems that you are my first target."

She spoke again softly, her voice ethereal and distant, yet carrying an inexplicable sense of majesty, "So there are still such filthy things in the human world, it's truly disgusting. Now, in the name of holiness, I will purify you."

Filthy things?!
Purify me?

These words clearly struck a nerve with Nasujuro Sei. He was so angry that he laughed, stomped his horse's hooves heavily on the ground, and charged forward, while gripping the demon sword Onikiri tightly!

"Shut up! You pretentious woman, how dare you spout nonsense in front of an old man like me?!"

It's just that sacred aura at work; if you ignore it, it's just a castle in the air.

Whether it's restraint or not, in the end, it's all about strength!

He simply couldn't believe that such a young woman could withstand his knife!

"The ghost is wailing!"

A massive, pure white sword aura slashed out, heading straight for Angewomon!

hum!
Wherever the sword energy passed, it was as if thousands of dead souls were wailing. The power of this sword strike was so great that it even caused ripples to spread through the air along its path!
however.

Faced with such a terrifying slash, Angewomon simply raised her right hand:
"The Holy Shield".

hum!
A colossal shield formed from pure holy light appeared out of thin air, its surface inscribed with intricate runes. Amidst the flowing golden light, there were also faint phantoms, as if from heaven, chanting.

The sword energy and the light shield exploded with blinding white light, and the resulting terrifying shockwave instantly tore apart and blew away the surrounding ground!
however.

When the light faded, Angewomon remained suspended in place, and the Divine Shield was intact, with only a few minor cracks on its outermost surface, which healed instantly and disappeared without a trace.

"what?!"

Nassshuro's pupils suddenly contracted.

how so? !

Even that brat Xia Nuo would have had to take that sword strike head-on with all his might, so how did it end up on this woman...?

"Divine power, specifically designed to subdue demons and evil spirits."

Angewomon seemed to sense his disbelief and calmly said, "Your attack will be automatically weakened by more than half before it even touches me, and it will not be able to break through this shield."

"Insolence! You are the evil spirit!"

Enraged, Nasujuro Sei leaped from his horse, raising the First Generation Kitetsu high above his head. The sword, wreathed in dense, purplish-black demonic energy, transformed into a gigantic blade a hundred meters long.

"Let's see how this strike goes, Yellow Springs Slash!" Boom!
The giant blade cleaved down, as if splitting the heavens and earth in two, and even the air seemed to groan under the sword's blow!
Angewomon remained unmoved, but her expression was slightly more serious than before. Her eight wings suddenly closed, completely enveloping her and forming a pure white cocoon of light.

“Divine protection.”

clang! ! !
A deafening metallic clang resounded through the sky as the giant blade struck the cocoon of light, sparks flying, yet it could not advance an inch!

really interesting.

Xia Nuo watched with great interest, and for a moment even forgot to beat up Akainu beside him. It seems that spending these points was not in vain, and summoning him was the right thing to do.

Angewomon only recently evolved, and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was just given to her; she hasn't reached her peak yet.

Xia Nuo sparred with her, and at best, he was hovering on the edge of becoming a general. He was stronger than Kuina and about the same as the elderly Rayleigh.

The original goal was simply to have her hold off Nasujuro so that she wouldn't be disturbed and would have enough time to suppress Akainu one-on-one.

However, judging from the current situation, Angewomon's Holy attribute is much more effective at restraining the Five Elders than she had anticipated.

No, it's not just the Five Elders; it would be the same if it were the Knights of God.

It's practically a weapon specifically designed to grant Im the power he bestowed upon!
This Nasujuro will be completely outmatched from beginning to end; he's no match for Angewomon!
"Impossible! Impossible!"

Nasujiro's eyes were bloodshot. As a great swordsman, he could not accept that his sword could not even break through the opponent's defense.

How can we fight like this!
"Now, it's my turn to attack, isn't it?"

A clear, cold voice suddenly emanated from within the cocoon of light, followed by a burst of dazzling golden light. With its eight wings outstretched, Angewomon revealed its form once more.

Swish!
In just a moment, an arc of electricity flashed by, and she was instantly teleported to the top of the giant skeletal horse's head.

A divine light gathered in his palm, transforming into a golden longbow. His slender fingers gently touched the bowstring, and then—

Click!

A pale blue arrow, formed from extremely pure lightning, took shape in an instant!

Angewomon let out a low growl!
"Magnificent Holy Arrow!"

call out!
The sacred arrow, crackling with lightning, shot out at such speed that even its afterimage was difficult to catch, leaving a dazzling blue trail in its wake.

This is precisely why Shano insisted on leaving the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to Angewomon!

He remembered clearly that Angewomon's Divine Arrow could only be fired by absorbing the lightning element between heaven and earth, requiring charging and having great limitations.

With the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, she can do whatever she wants, as many lightning arrows as she desires, and as many volts as she wants!

In addition, there's the high-speed movement granted by the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and the enhancement of Observation Haki.

One plus one is greater than two; it's simply the most perfect combination!
"Damn it!"

Nasujuro Sei's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly used all his strength to raise his sword to block. The surface of the First Generation Kitetsu was filled with purplish-black demonic energy, attempting to counteract the holy energy on the arrow.

however--

boom! ! !
The moment the arrow made contact with the demonic blade, violent lightning and holy energy intertwined and erupted, instantly engulfing the eerie purplish-black demonic aura!
"what!"

Nasujiro Sei let out a scream!
His demonic sword was knocked away and flew out of his hand. His massive horse-bone body was electrified, appearing and disappearing in the white light. He was in excruciating pain all over his body, and wisps of black smoke rose from his body.

But that's not the key point; what's truly chilling is...

Nasujiro looked down at the wounds on his body inflicted by the lightning, his eyes filled with disbelief.

—This injury can't even heal on its own?!
It doesn't need an excessive amount of Conqueror's Haki; can this sacred power alone temporarily suppress the immortality bestowed upon it by its master?

"Nasujuro!"

In the distance, the Holy Worch, who had transformed into a mythical boar, saw that the situation was dire and roared as he turned around to rush over to the rescue.

But the next moment, he was forced back by a powerful shockwave from the bear.

Please don't get distracted.

The bear stood in front of him expressionlessly, raising the fleshy ball in its palm: "Your opponent should be me."

hum!
A massive shockwave was released, sending the giant sea monster flying.

The bear didn't stop either, immediately following up and continuing to use its Devil Fruit power to bombard the opponent repeatedly, controlling it relentlessly.

This old man had the highest defense among the five; the roughness and toughness of his wild boar hide was simply the pinnacle of its kind in the world.

So far, he hasn't been able to cause any real harm to the other party.

However, there is always a trade-off; the opponent's attack methods are too clumsy and slow, and simply cannot keep up with my ability to teleport.

He may not be able to defeat his opponent, but he can easily stop him!

I won't let you interfere with the captain's battle!
……

Absolutely terrible!

On the other side, Nasujiro touched his wounds, and finally panicked.

Even immortality is countered, so how different are these five people from these lowly commoners in the face of death?
The longer you live, the more you fear...

He didn't want to die! He still wanted to continue serving his master! But now, with this woman's appearance, the risk of his demise was increasing rapidly...

We can't stay here any longer!
Despite the excruciating pain, Nasujiro Sei suddenly raised his head and roared, issuing the order:

"Retreat! I hereby declare this mission a failure. Abandon the fight. All personnel, retreat immediately!"

　I've met the bonus chapter requirement with all the monthly votes, so I'm planning to start adding more chapters today. I was halfway through writing when I went to the bathroom and glanced at the chapter comments, only to find I'd been criticized! Waaah, I'm so sorry everyone. I should have waited until midnight to finish writing both chapters and posted them together.
