Chapter 228 - 228. Decimated

The CP agents looked serious. That simple swing just a moment ago would have seriously injured that man if it had connected.

"We thought your leader and his companion was strong, but never did we imagine that all of you were hiding your strength."

Dali smirked, "You thought wrong."

He raised his sword and attacked. There was no reason to drag it any longer.

There was more than fifty CP agents. Three chiefs, eight vice chiefs, and the rest being elite agents proficient in rokushiki and haki.

This was going to be a hard battle. However Mace and the rest had no fear, in fact all of their eyes contained a bit of excitement.

Issho drew out his sword. A weird purple glow covered it's blade.

Gravity Blade!

He slashed his sword at the CP chiefs.

"Take care of him first!"

The chiefs recognised the threat Issho possessed and immediately surrounded him.

Dali and Violet took on the remaining vice chiefs and the other agents. It was a downhill battle and they were outnumbered. However their battle intent soared when faced against such odds.

Sword rays shot out from Dali's sword as he clashed against the vice chiefs.

His opponents used Rankyaku to deflect his attacks. They closed the distance using Soru and attacked using Shigan.

"Haha, don't you have any new tricks?!"

Dali wasn't fl.u.s.tered. His sword danced as he deflected the attacks.

Mad Rush!

His sword flashed as he slashed at the nearest opponent.

Tekkai!

His opponent used Tekkai and blocked it. However the strength behind Dali's attack was far stronger then he expected, it cut through his defence and left a long wound.

Dammit!

Wounded, his opponent immediately retreated.

The other vice chiefs looked at each other. One of them said, "Don't take his attacks head on."

Dali laughed, "Do you think that's gonna work?"

Along with his voice his body started to change. His body grew larger. Golden fur grew on his body. His head started to morph, in a second it turned into that of a lion's.

Zoan Fruit, Model Lion!

The vice chiefs were shocked. This was never mentioned in any of the info they got before!

Before they could react Dali moved. His body flashed and appeared infront of one of the vice chiefs.

Tekkai! Armed!

The vice chief was experienced in battle. He immediately used his strongest defence and crossed his arms over his c.h.e.s.t.

Dali's lips curled into a smile. His mouth filled with razor sharp teeth gleamed with cruelty.

Spurt!

A sword ray flashed. The vice chief had an unbelievable expression on his face. The light in his eyes dimmed as his body separated into two.

Looking at the transformed Dali and the bisected body a chill ran down the other CP agents heart.

Mace caught Dali's movement from the corner of his eyes and grinned, "Looks like he is gonna finish soon. Can't have a subordinate reach the finish line before me!"

Mace used his devil transformation. The vice chiefs and the agents surrounding him took a step back, they all looked at him warily.

They had seen the reports about Mace's transformation. But the details were vague. Till now they didn't have a clear understanding about what this transformation entail.

Ashura's Wrath!

Mace took a deep breath and blew out a breath of fire.

"Dodge!"

The vice chiefs used Soru and got out of the way. However the agents weren't lucky enough One of them was caught in the fire. His body was ignited in a split second.

Before any of the other agents could help a hole was blasted open in his body. The agents went limp as his burning body fell into the sea.

The chiefs had an ugly expression on their faces.

One of them just retreated when a large figure appeared behind him. It's shadow loomed his body.

The vice chief was startled and hastily used Tekkai. However he underestimated Mace's raw strength and overestimated his defence.

Mace's sword sliced through his body and smoothly cut him into two parts.

Damn!

The other vice chiefs saw one of them die and cursed.

They surrounded Mace and attacked.

Mace smirked and swung his sword again. The vice chiefs had no choice but to dodge.

Mace lowered his body and burst into a sudden rush. He focused his eyes on one of the vice chiefs.

Rankyaku! Shigan!

The vice chief used Rankyaku. The other agents also did the same. They wanted to delay Mace so that the others could find an opportunity to strike.

Without wasting any time he flashed infront of the vice chief and slashed with his sword. The vice chief dodged and retreated.

By now the others closed the distance between Mace and them.

Rankyaku! Shigan!

Several attacks pierced at Mace's vitals.

Suddenly Mace grinned, "Gotcha!"

One of the vice chief suddenly trembled. Blood bloomed as a horrifying wound appeared on his c.h.e.s.t.

Dammit! We forgot about her!

Violet scanned the battlefield through the scope. Her kenbunshoku haki was far stronger than the others and only weaker than Issho. She was able to cover the entire battlefield, nothing escaped her.

She once more pulled the trigger.

One of the chiefs grew angry and disengaged from Issho. He spread out his kenbunshoku haki and found Violet.

Sneaking b**ch!

He was rushing towards her when a sword slashed in his direction.

Mace blocked his path. He s.u.c.k.e.d in large volumes of air.

Ashura's Wrath!

A blast of fire shot of his mouth. It left a scorched trail as it shot towards the CP chief.

Hmph!

The chief coated his arms in busoshoku haki. A strange repulsive force spread out from his fist as he punched at Mace's attack.

Boom!

A small explosion took place. When the smoke cleared the CP chief was fine.

Mace flashed towards him and slashed with his sword.

"Overreaching!"

The CP chief snorted and grabbed at Mace's sword.

By now the other vice chiefs reacted and surrounded Mace.

Mace didn't show any panic. His eyes were sharp as his battle intent soared.

Ashura's Rebellion!

A horrifying strength erupted from his body. His sword was covered in red flames as a heavy pressure fell on his opponents.

He swung his sword. The CP chief got serious. He pushed his busoshoku haki to it's limits and used Shigan.

Bang!

When his finger and Mace's sword collided both of them took several steps back.

The CP chief was startled. He narrowed his eyes and was about to attack when a sword pierced towards his heart.

Soru!

He moved instantly and retreated.

Issho stood where he was a moment ago. His sword glowing with purple colour.

The other chiefs caught up and they restarted their four way battle.

Mace engaged with his opponents as well. His sword burning with red flames slashed through the air leaving a burnt trail.

His opponents found it hard to stay alive. And soon another one fell.

They were running wild among the CP agents. Every few minutes one of them died.

Slowly their opponents number fell.
