Chapter 269: Pushing Hard

Chapter 269: Pushing Hard

Cayla coughs up blood after Mantis pierced her stomach. She is confused why Mantis's staff can pierce her body. A staff isn't a sharp weapon and she is sure both tips of Mantis's staff were blunt. Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

Mantis smirks as she says, "You must be confused right?"

Then Mantis pulls out her staff and now Cayla can see why Mantis could stab her stomach. One tip of Mantis's staff is actually pointy sharp so it could pierce Cayla's stomach. But it still makes Cayla confuse because previously the staff is blunt.

Mantis doesn't want to explain how it could change though. This staff has been modified by Ruff and both blunt tips can change into pointy sharp tips. This feature will be useful for some situations, now is the example.

Still, one piercing through her stomach isn't enough to defeat Cayla. So Mantis attacks again by thrusting her staff at Cayla's stomach. But Cayla evades it and attacks Mantis using her blade-like arms.

Mantis evades Cayla's attack by crouching then she thrusts her staff at Cayla's jaw. Her attack hits Cayla but it doesn't give much damage. Well, it's not her main attack and she didn't put much power on it.

Suddenly, Cayla coughs up blood again because Mantis punches her stomach. After the carapace on her stomach breaks, it becomes Cayla's weak spot. Mantis exploits that so she punches with all her strength.

It isn't the end yet and Mantis sends a barrage of punches at Cayla's stomach. She doesn't give Cayla a chance to strike back and keeps punching. The excruciating pain makes Cayla's consciousness slowly fade out.

'N-No, I can't lose, I need to avenge my brother. But it's so painful. How can this woman has this kind of strength without any devil fruit?' ponders Cayla as her sight becomes blurry.

Cayla finally loses consciousness after receiving Mantis's punches for a minute. She transforms back into her human form after she fainted. Mantis pants as she looks at the unconscious Cayla.

Mantis falls on her butt as she pants hard, "Damn, that was close. I almost run out of energy because I kept evading her attacks when she was in her full beast form."

She decides to rest while looking around the battlefield. Their alliance is having the upper hand and dominates the war. They have a smaller number but they are pushing the enemies back because they are stronger.

Well, they have Magnus, Ruff, the 9 Red Scabbards, Hyogoro, his 4 Yakuza leaders, and other daimyos who support Oden. These guys are too strong for the enemies and the Clowns have great teamwork supported by great weapons.

They haven't fully healed, but they have gotten better. Having their wounds closed by bandages and their bleeding stopped is plenty enough for them. With their bleeding stopped, they won't get weakened again because of blood loss.

The alliance members keep pushing forward with the 9 Red Scabbards & Magnus leading them. Magnus leads the Clown to block their enemies' retreat route by going to their back line. The 9 Red Scabbards lead the samurais to attack from the front and flank.

Now the enemies are pinched while the alliance keeps attacking them. As they get surrounded, the enemy's number reduces at a fast rate. Their morale has dropped after they saw the alliance members get energized and keep coming back after getting treated.

They've already gotten pushed before so now they can't even fight back. They get defeated a lot easier than before. Furthermore, seeing the alliance members getting treated while their injuries get worsened makes them lose their spirit.

Then after some time, the enemies who can still fight have been reduced to less than 50 while the alliance still has thousands of people who can still fight. The leaders also still can fight which makes it impossible for the enemies to win.

In that situation, their choice is simple, they need to surrender. All of the enemies who can still fight drop their weapons and they drop to their knees. They raise their hands up, signaling that they have surrendered. So the main war has been won by the alliance.
