The Strongest Eriri in History

Eriri gently patted Kohina's small head and said indifferently, "Go ahead."

With Eriri's approval, Kohina didn't hesitate in the slightest, immediately swinging two slashes of her blade toward the suited man.

The blade slashes were incredibly fast—so fast that the suited man had no chance to react before his body was sliced into three pieces.

Even after cutting through the suited man, Kohina's blade slashes showed no signs of slowing down. They swiftly tore through the buildings and the ground behind him, carving out two massive chasms that stretched all the way to the sea.

"M-Murder! They killed someone!"

Seeing the gruesome death of the suited man, the civilians kneeling on the ground all wore expressions of terror. Screaming, they bolted toward the streets, desperately trying to escape.

If Eriri and her group dared to kill a Celestial Dragon's bodyguard, it meant they held no regard for the Celestial Dragons themselves. It also meant that the fate of the Celestial Dragon before them was already sealed.

To avoid being implicated, the civilians fled with all their might, some even attempting to escape the Sabaody Archipelago entirely.

No one tried to help the Celestial Dragon—not even the pirates who feared the arrival of a Marine Admiral.

Kohina's display of power had utterly terrified them. Anyone who could cause such destruction in an instant was far beyond their ability to resist.

Moreover, there weren't just Kohina—there were over forty others behind her. Who knew if they were just as powerful?

However, deep down, many cursed Eriri's group.

"Damn it, they actually made a move. Judging by their attitude, that Celestial Dragon won't live for much longer. We'd better leave Sabaody Archipelago now—things will get messy once an Admiral arrives."

"If you want to die, just go kill yourself! Why drag us into this mess? My ship hasn't even finished its coating yet. Just my luck."

"…"

Of course, not everyone was cursing Eriri's group—some were impressed by Kohina's strength.

"She's probably at the level of a great swordsman, huh? That's incredible. To reach this level at such a young age… her future is limitless. If only I could get her to join my pirate crew."

Ignoring the fleeing civilians and the pirates with their various thoughts, Kohina swiftly dispatched three more bodyguards of the Celestial Dragon.

Soon, only Eriri's group, Saint Charlos and his three slaves, and a few bold Supernovas remained on the street.

"Hey, are you guys insane?"

Jewelry Bonney, who had been kneeling by the roadside eating, immediately stood up and ran to Eriri's group, looking anxious.

"Don't attack the Celestial Dragon! There's still a chance to smooth things over. If you kill a Celestial Dragon, there'll be no turning back! A Marine Admiral will come after you!"

"Let them come. It's just an Admiral. I can take them down in a few moves," Enju said, standing with her hands on her hips, completely dismissing the idea of an Admiral as a threat.

"'Just' an Admiral? Kid, you've got guts…" Bonney's eye twitched as she glanced at Enju, looking speechless.

"I admit you guys are strong, but compared to an Admiral, you're still far from their level."

Hearing Bonney's words, Enju immediately looked dissatisfied.

Just as she was about to retort, Eriri cut her off.

"Thanks for the warning, but this fat pig is dead today. No one can save it."

Eriri's tone was calm and indifferent, leaving Bonney at a loss for words.

She could tell that Eriri was the leader of this group of beautiful women, and her decision was final.

"Forget it, do as you please." Bonney gave Eriri a deep look for a few seconds, then left with an unwilling expression.

After Bonney left, Eriri casually snapped her fingers. As the crisp sound echoed, Saint Charlos, who had been frozen in place, instantly regained his freedom.

However, the sudden return of mobility caught him off guard, making it impossible for him to control his body's coordination. As a result, he lurched forward and fell heavily onto the ground.

"Ouch, that hurts!" Lying flat on the ground, Saint Charlos let out a loud wail, indicating that the face-first fall had inflicted considerable pain.

Struggling to get up, his face was now smeared with both snot and blood streaming from his nose.

Despite his bleeding nose, the resin bubble on his head remained completely intact, a testament to its impressive durability.

"You lowly commoners dare to treat me like this? I no longer want you as my wives—you are only fit to be my slaves!"

Perhaps because of Eriri's overwhelming beauty, Saint Charlos didn't immediately order their execution.

Even though he had been immobilized moments ago, he had clearly seen his suited bodyguard die right before his eyes, fully aware that his protectors had been slaughtered.

Yet, he remained utterly oblivious to reality, still believing himself to be above everyone else, convinced that Eriri and her group wouldn't dare to harm him.

It had to be said—his intelligence was as pitiful as his appearance.

Eriri couldn't even be bothered to speak with Saint Charlos. In her eyes, he wasn't even worth a single glance.

Without a word, she snapped her fingers again, then ignored him entirely—ignoring even the Supernovas watching the scene. Leading her group, she continued walking toward the amusement park.

"Huh? What's going on? Are they not planning to kill the Celestial Dragon?"

"So, they do fear the Celestial Dragons' status after all… Well, that's for the best. As long as the Celestial Dragon remains unharmed, an Admiral won't come."

"Seems like they aren't completely reckless. It's a bit of a shame not to see the Celestial Dragon die, but this outcome is acceptable."

"…"

Seeing Eriri's group leave so abruptly, the watching Supernovas all sighed in relief.

However, before they could feel at ease for long, something drastic began happening to Saint Charlos.

Watching Eriri and her group suddenly walk away, Saint Charlos immediately grew agitated.

He shouted after them, "Hey! You lowly commoners, stop right there!"

As he spoke, he attempted to chase after them. However, he had barely taken a few steps before he suddenly collapsed onto the ground, landing on his rear.

Seated on the ground, Saint Charlos began flailing his arms and legs in a frantic struggle. As time passed, his movements became even more erratic and violent.

He desperately grabbed at the resin bubble on his head, trying to rip it off. Yet no matter how hard he pulled, the bubble remained completely unscathed, still securely fastened around his head.

Minutes later, his flailing limbs gradually stiffened and stretched out. His entire body began to convulse uncontrollably.

Seeing this, the expressions of the Supernovas changed once more.

At last, they realized the truth—Eriri and her group hadn't spared the Celestial Dragon out of fear.

They had already taken action against him.

Eriri's previous snap of her fingers had directly fused the resin bubble on Saint Charlos' head with his neck, simultaneously reinforcing the bubble's durability several times over.

With the oxygen supply inside his suit cut off, Saint Charlos quickly entered a state of hypoxia. Within ten minutes, he suffered an agonizing death by suffocation.

His death had no impact on Eriri and her group whatsoever. By the time he died, they had already traveled quite a distance away from Area 24.

Not long after Saint Charlos died, a group of Marines armed with firearms arrived on the scene. However, by then, the street was deserted, with only the lifeless body of Saint Charlos remaining.

The Supernovas, upon witnessing his death, had immediately led their crews back to their ships. The three enslaved individuals also took advantage of the situation to quietly escape.

When Eriri left, she had casually removed their slave collars, ensuring they wouldn't explode even if they fled.

These Marines were all stationed in the Sabaody Archipelago. After receiving reports from the civilians who had initially fled, they rushed to the scene without delay.

Upon discovering the dead body of Saint Charlos, the face of the leading Marine officer darkened immediately.

The death of a Celestial Dragon was not something a mere Marine Captain could bear responsibility for. Without hesitation, he pulled out a Den Den Mushi and dialed Marine Headquarters.

The death of a Celestial Dragon was like igniting a powder keg, setting off a chain reaction across the entire Grand Line.

Through the transmission of the Den Den Mushi, all major factions in the Grand Line quickly learned of the news. At the same time, the World Economy News Agency was working urgently to print newspapers covering the incident. It was only a matter of time before the story of Eriri and her group killing a Celestial Dragon spread to every corner of the Grand Line.

The Five Elders residing in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise took this matter extremely seriously, as it was a blatant challenge to the authority of the World Government.

In a massive conference room at Marine Headquarters, Marineford—not far from the Sabaody Archipelago—several Marines, each standing around two to three meters tall, were gathered.

"I didn't expect those little girls to actually kill a Celestial Dragon. Originally, I was considering recruiting them into the Marines… What a pity," a burly old man said regretfully before taking a huge bite of the rice cracker in his hand, producing a loud crunching sound.

"Garp! Be serious! Stop eating! This is a critical situation. The murder of a Celestial Dragon is no small matter!"

Beside him, a Marine with a long, braided beard tied under his chin, wearing round frog-like glasses, and with a seagull perched on his head, spoke in frustration.

These two were none other than Vice Admiral "Marine Hero" Monkey D. Garp and Fleet Admiral "Buddha" Sengoku of Marine Headquarters.

Garp had only heard about Eriri's group through the newspapers. However, he knew nothing about their actual names or strength.

During their time in the world of One Piece, Eriri and her companions had barely interacted with the local residents. Even when Jibril and the others took action against pirate crews, they had done so casually, leaving no way to accurately gauge their true strength.

To the people of this world, Eriri and her group remained an enigma.

Garp paid no attention to Sengoku's words and continued crunching loudly on the rice crackers in his mouth.

Seated beside them was a tall Marine, casually sipping tea from a cup—none other than Borsalino, "Kizaru", one of the three Marine Admirals.

As for the other two Admirals, Sakazuki, "Akainu", and Kuzan, "Aokiji", they were not present at Marine Headquarters at the moment.

"According to intelligence, the group that attacked the Celestial Dragon isn't weak. Kizaru, you'll take the lead this time. While you're at it, capture as many pirates on the Sabaody Archipelago as possible," Sengoku said, pressing his temples, clearly feeling fatigued.

"Well then, I suppose I'll take a trip," Kizaru replied lazily after taking a sip of tea.

After speaking, he placed the teacup on the conference table and leisurely walked out of the meeting room.

About half an hour later, Eriri and her group finally arrived at Sabaody Park.

The news of the Celestial Dragon's death had spread across the entire island, plunging it into chaos. Even Sabaody Park wasn't spared, as both visitors and staff had vanished.

However, this had no effect on Eriri and the others. Even without operators, making the amusement rides function was an effortless task for them.

Before long, Eriri's group was thoroughly enjoying themselves, bringing life back to the previously deserted amusement park.

Meanwhile, the Marines who had been stationed near Saint Charlos' corpse had tracked Eriri's group's movements and arrived at the amusement park.

Besides that Marine squad, reinforcements continued arriving in waves, and soon, the Marine presence swelled to over a thousand.

Despite their numbers, the Marines did not act rashly. Instead, they surrounded the amusement park with firearms, setting up defensive positions. Behind them, dozens of artillery cannons were lined up in an orderly formation.

The terrifying sword marks left in Area 24 were still fresh in their minds—evidence that the enemies inside the amusement park were far beyond ordinary pirates.

A reckless assault would only result in massive Marine casualties.

For now, their primary objective was to prevent the enemies inside from escaping and to await the arrival of an Admiral and further reinforcements.

Eriri and her group were well aware of the Marines' actions, but none of them paid any attention to it. They simply continued enjoying the rides without a care.

Each of them had a clear understanding of their own strength—even the weakest among them was among the strongest in this world.

A mere thousand Marines and their feeble firearms and cannons were nothing to them.

Even if every single person in the pirate world came to fight them, it wouldn't pose the slightest inconvenience to Eriri and her group.
