38 Chapter 38
Rolling several rounds on the ground outside the tavern, Bonney finally managed to come to a stop.
Before she could even stand up, she felt a sweet sensation in her throat and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Cough... "
As she looked at the blood she had just coughed up, Bonney's eyes trembled slightly, filled with an expression of incredulous horror.
"What... happened?!"
"Just a moment ago... I was so close to getting what I wanted, why..."
She didn't even have time for her thoughts to return to normal.
Carnes' voice once again reached her ears.
"Can we start talking now?"
Startled by the sound, Bonney suddenly looked up, only to find Carnes silently standing in front of her, smiling.
Gritting her teeth, Bonney activated her ability once again and angrily shouted.
"I don't want to talk to you!"
Her pink-colored palm swiftly moved towards Carnes.
But Carnes made no attempt to dodge or avoid it, softly murmuring.
Bonney's palm, emitting a pink light, directly passed through Carnes' body.
Faced with this sudden scene, Bonney 's mind went blank.
"No sensation of touch..."
"It went through?! Why?!"
"Wasn't he just standing in front of me?!"
After Bonney 's hand completely passed through Carnes' body, Carnes' counterattack immediately followed!
A whip kick sent Bonney flying away.
"Swish!"
"Bang!"
"Ah!"
This time, Carnes didn't give Bonney a chance to catch her breath.
In the instant she was thrown backward, Carnes swiftly pursued her.
Although Carnes restrained his strength enough not to kill Bonney, she still faced a fierce beating from Carnes!
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
No mercy, no consideration for her well-being, Carnes attacked mercilessly.
Bonney had no power to fight back!
On the other side, the crew members of Bonney's pirate crew inside the tavern finally reacted.
Their captain had been beaten up!
Everything had happened too quickly, one sudden event after another, leaving them all stunned.
Now that they had finally reacted, their eyes widened with anger, their veins bulging, and they shouted in fury.
"You bastards! How dare you lay hands on our captain! You..."
"Quiet down, big guy!" Suddenly, the cold voice of Obito came.
Immediately, the man who was shouting was pressed by Obito's hand, forcefully smashing into the ground.
"Bang!"
"Thud!"
The tremendous force caused half of the man's body to sink into the floor.
Dust filled the air as the impact created a wave of energy.
At that moment, Inouk, Lacey, and Lydia stepped forward, each wielding a sword.
"Now, you are up against us!"
"Instead of worrying about your captain, you should worry about yourself!"
"Wow, four against nearly a hundred... seems a bit outnumbered!"
Seeing the arrogant attitude of Carnes and the others, the members of the Bonney Pirates were filled with intense hatred.
"You bastards!!"
"Show them our strength!"
"Brothers!"
"Attack together!!"
With a shout, all the members of the Bonney Pirates charged towards Carnes and the others.
However, before they could take a few steps, Obito, who was in front, took a deep breath, formed hand seals, and shouted.
"Fire Release!"
"Great Fireball Technique!"
As he finished his words, Obito took a step forward, and a blazing flame appeared in his breath, condensing into a huge fireball in mid-air, flying towards all the members of the Bonney Pirates.
"Whoosh!"
The fiery red light illuminated the entire tavern, and a scorching heat filled the air.
The Bonney Pirates who were rushing forward, upon witnessing this sudden scene, shouted in shock and fear.
"What is this!?"
"A fireball?!"
"Run!"
However, by the time they thought of running, it was already too late.
"Boom!"
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
A tremendous explosion resounded in all directions.
The entire tavern was blown away!
All members of the Bonney Pirates screamed and howled as they were engulfed in the explosion.
"Boom!"
A small mushroom cloud rose, accompanied by thick smoke and flames, illuminating the surrounding area.
Most of the members of the Bonney Pirates were destroyed in an instant!
On the other side, Bonney, the captain of the Bonney Pirates, didn't fare any better.
Facing Carnes with absolute strength, she couldn't fight back, not even touch the hem of his clothes!
At this moment, she was covered in wounds, large and small, with blood flowing from them.
She was in so much pain that she was on the verge of fainting, and she had no strength left to fight!
Carnes grabbed her by the neck and lifted her off the ground.
Bonney tried to struggle, but she didn't even have the strength to raise her hand.
"Now, I think we can have a nice talk," Carnes said calmly, looking at Bonney.
Bonney looked dejected, but her gaze towards Carnes was filled with resentment.
However, Carnes paid no attention to it and calmly spoke.
"My pirate crew is small, and I need some more people. Now, you have two choices: either become a subordinate of my pirate crew or die along with your crew."
"This is your only chance. Think carefully and answer me!"
"If your answer isn't what I want, then you and your crew will have no reason to exist."
