Seeing that his boss was unharmed, Bon Kurei reacted first. If Crocodile won and saw that he hadn't put in any effort, he might kill him!
So he observed the situation on the field and attacked Bonney, who looked like she had no combat power at all!
"BOSS, I'll go take care of that pink-haired woman—"
"To let them understand that your plan is unstoppable—"
"Okama Kenpo: Toe Kick."
Bon Kurei jumped high, revealing a treacherous smile. He extended his long leg covered in leg hair, toes pointed outward, moving so fast it broke the wind, kicking straight at Bonney. Bonney was happily playing with mud on the ground. Hearing someone call her, veins popped on her forehead. She looked up with a dark face. Do we have to fight? Isn't it better to watch the battle honestly from the side like that black-haired woman?!!
The gods are fighting, why do you, an okama, have to join in the fun!
Bonney's figure flashed, quickly disappearing from the spot, deftly dodging the blow.
Seeing this, Bon Kurei wasn't discouraged at all. He assumed a martial artist's stance but danced ballet steps, spinning and rushing towards Bonney again. "Okama Dash——"
"Woman, fall under my magnificent dance steps—"
As a Clone-Clone Fruit user, Bon Kurei's fruit ability was of no help in combat. The reason he could secure the Mr. 2 rank in Baroque Works was because he was a master of taijutsu.
He created his own style by integrating ballet steps into fighting techniques. Through superb physical flexibility and balance, he could unleash kicks from unimaginable angles.
"Okama Kenpo: Memoirs of That Summer——"
Borrowing the rotational inertia of the Okama Dash, Bon Kurei extended his leg and used a roundhouse kick rotating at high speed with his body as the axis, like a small tornado.
However, the word "woman" thoroughly enraged Bonney. The veins on her forehead popped even more. "Bonney! Bonney! I have a name—"
Bonney also jumped high, raising her pink fist. An invisible aura gathered on her fist. "And..."
"Don't call a young girl a 'woman'... rude okama!"
Her body turned sideways in mid-air, perfectly dodging Bon Kurei's attack. Then, seizing the moment when Bon Kurei's inertia weakened, she aimed her fist at the okama in front of her and smashed down ruthlessly— "Call me a young girl—" "Bang—"
With a loud noise, Bonney's fist smashed fiercely onto Bon Kurei's face. Half of his face instantly swelled up with a huge bump. Dizzy and disoriented, he had intimate contact with the ground.
But that wasn't the end...
The moment after being hit, with a poof, pink mist exploded. Bon Kurei's figure disappeared from the spot, replaced by an infant wearing open-crotch pants and sucking on a pacifier, with a high swelling on his right cheek.
This was the gap between ordinary people and top-tier talent. Only nine years old, Bonney effortlessly defeated Bon Kurei with her enlarged body!
Bonney raised her chin proudly, hands on her hips, slowly walked to the infant, squatted down, extended her thumb and index finger, blew on them, then aimed at the infant's forehead and flicked hard— With a loud cry, the infant Bon Kurei turned blue in the face and fainted completely— Bonney clapped her hands, looking relieved.
What bad intentions could a nine-year-old have~
Robin, who was still watching from the side, saw this scene, and a look of surprise appeared on her face again. "My—"
"That is... the Age-Age Fruit."
"This group of people is really somewhat extraordinary~"
The interlude came to an end. Bonney squatted on the ground bored, drawing circles. Her mind wasn't on the battle in front of her at all. She was too greedy. It had been so many days since she came to Alabasta, and she hadn't eaten a single bite of good food.
"My roasted hacks, roasted springs, blue fairies... Ah, why is my life so bitter—"
Curious, Robin walked to Bonney's side and looked down at this beautiful girl whose behavior was completely like a child.
"Aren't you worried about your companion~ He's fighting a Warlord of the Sea~"
Bonney didn't look up, curled her lip and said: "Chrollo is a bad old man, needs me to worry?"
"The ones to worry about should be them—"
Bonney still looked like it was none of her business.
Wait...
Bonney raised her head and looked up and down at the woman beside her whom Chrollo specifically named to keep. "Aren't you going to make a move and spar with me?"
"Of course not~" Robin smiled and waved her hand. "Boys are better at fighting~"
Chest isn't as big as mine, but these legs are longer than my life. Black eyes look kinda nice, pity she's dark-skinned...
Chrollo likes this type?
Otherwise, why cross an ocean just to get this woman on board...
"Alright." Bonney continued to lower her head and draw circles. Bon Kurei's defeat didn't cause any emotional fluctuation in Crocodile. He remained indifferent.
Since the matter was exposed, the Clone-Clone Fruit was useless...
"Trash—"
"Failing to complete even this task, losing to the enemy, proves you are only at this level."
As long as he let loose, relying on himself... was enough to solve all the enemies in front of him. Subordinates with no use value were just garbage.
But the first thing to do was still to trick Cobra out of that alternate dimension, otherwise even if he killed the person in front of him, he wouldn't get the whereabouts of Pluton.
Therefore, Crocodile didn't continue to attack, but looked down at his watch. "Less than ten minutes left until three o'clock..." Crocodile said arrogantly.
He seemed to be speaking to Chrollo, but in fact, he was speaking to Cobra in the alternate dimension.
"The bomb is about to detonate. Cobra, haven't you made a decision yet~"
"Do you have the heart to watch your people be blown sky-high~ It seems you are not the wise monarch who loves his people as rumored~"
A faint mocking look appeared on Crocodile's face.
He believed that with Cobra's personality, he would never sit by and watch the bomb explode. As long as Cobra appeared, he was confident he could force him to reveal the whereabouts of Pluton, so his plan hadn't failed yet!
As soon as his voice fell, the enemy in front of him indeed made a move. Chrollo slowly raised his head and looked in a certain direction. However, before Crocodile could rejoice, with a boom and a loud noise, a dazzling firework exploded high in the sky of the capital Alubarna, dyeing the clouds red— Watching this scene, a stunned expression appeared on Crocodile's face. "How... possible!"
The corners of Chrollo's mouth slowly lifted. He turned his head to look at Crocodile. "Looks like... your plan has completely failed~"
