One Piece Seat Void - Chapter 257

New World, Totto Land Sea The battle between the Rocks Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates rages on while Punk Hazard, the scientific base headquarters for the Locke Pirates, is also under attack. Three men with eerie masks repeatedly take down the mechanical soldiers, swiftly approaching the experimental base where Dr. Vegapunk is.

“Damn, the defenses on this island are stronger than we thought! We hoped to use the chaos from the battle between Rocks and Charlotte Linlin to our advantage, but who can tell me what these indestructible mechanical soldiers are?”

One of the men, dressed in a white suit and wearing a tall top hat and a mournful expression mask, grumbles irritably while taking down a group of mechanical soldiers with a finger gun.

“Enough with the complaints. Our main mission is to capture Dr. Vegapunk. We can’t afford to waste this rare opportunity.” A tall and muscular man in a white suit with a small black hat, wearing a smiling expression mask, quietly reprimands.

“Hmph, I know. Could you not use that tone with me? You’re not my superior.” A woman adorned with an angry expression, sporting a well-fitted white suit and having a tall and slender figure, responds unhappily.

In a monitoring room, Kyojin smokes a cigar, watching the three intruders take down the mechanical soldiers he dispatched with a smirk on his face. “Hahaha, impressive power. It’s worth modifying them into mechanical soldiers.”

“This kind of strength could make them elite among the mechanical soldiers!” Kyojin says it with an eerie tone, then dials a transponder snail.

“Ring ring ring.”

“Click.”

“Hey, send those guys to capture those three pests for me. I want them alive!” After his command, Kyojin hangs up the transponder snail. On the other side, upon receiving Kyojin’s orders, a burly man with sharp bull horns on his head and a massive axe on his back leaves the room with a cold expression.

“Shh!” A long flute sound echoes. In no time, nearly two hundred young men and women gather in front of the axe-wielding man. Most appear to be around seventeen, the oldest among them not more than twenty. But they all exude immense strength.

“Understood, Danie!” The two hundred people present respond with deafening affirmations.

“Good. Then let’s start now!”

“Understood!” The two hundred people disappear almost instantly from the gathering square.
CP0 Special Agents’ side:

They are panting heavily as they rush toward Dr. Vegapunk’s location. “Hey, Smiley, Do you feel something’s off?” The mask-wearing agent with a mournful expression asks the one with a smiling mask.

“Yeah, something’s not right. Since we started, we haven’t encountered any more mechanical soldiers.”

“That’s right, they’ve kept coming at us since we started. I refuse to believe all those invincible bastards suddenly malfunctioned.” The agent with the angry mask adds

“Whoosh!” While the three are discussing, countless smiles suddenly fly out from the bushes on both sides, launching a fierce attack against them.

“What the heck!”

“What’s going on? How are there so many smiles all of a sudden?”

“Darn it! Which punk is trying to mess with us? Show yourself!” The agent with the angry mask roars and transforms her hands into two sharp whips, swinging them to both sides.

“Boom!” With a tremendous explosion, the three of them are covered by their smiles, creating a loud noise. When the smiles clear away, the once heavily overgrown area around them has been entirely swept clean.

A somewhat youthful, blue-haired girl with golden eyes appears before them. Invisible telekinetic waves surround her. The whips stopped on either side of her, unable to advance.

“Cough, cough! So, it was you, the little devil, who ambushed us! Die!” The agent with the angry mask roars, flying quickly toward the girl.

“Hey, don’t mess with our cutie!”

“Get lost!” As the agent with the angry mask is about to reach the girl, a handsome, shirtless boy with golden hair, a red loincloth, and bare feet appears instantly in front of the agent.

“Flaming Inferno!” The boy’s feet are covered with blazing flames, and he kicks the agent fiercely in the chest. The fiery flames incinerate the agent’s top, and the powerful force sends her flying, breaking numerous trees.

“Smiley! You little devil!” Upon seeing her comrade being kicked by a kid, the agent with the smiling mask, who had disappeared, emerges beside the golden-haired boy.

“Time for you to die! Maximum Rank Six-Ring Spear!” The smiling mask agent clasps his hands together, launching a powerful double-fisted attack towards the boy’s chest.
“Heh, your turn, Barena!” The golden-haired boy chuckles nonchalantly. As he speaks, the tall, burly, bald young man with a giant hammer for arms suddenly appears before the agent. He grips the agent’s dual fists easily.

“What!” Seeing his full-powered attack effortlessly blocked, the smiling mask agent lets out an incredulous growl.

“Heh! Time for you to roll away!” A boy with red tufted hair, flaming wings, and three legs kicks the agent in the face powerfully.

“Boom!” The agent’s mask shatters with a resounding explosion, revealing an incredibly ugly man underneath. The ugly man spits blood and is sent flying backward, breaking dozens of large trees.

“Yo, Kanshi, your ability has been getting better lately!” Flying with flaming wings, the three-legged boy hovers, grinning. Unbeknownst to them, about two hundred youngsters with various appearances surround the three CP0 agents.

The agent, with the mournful expression, is feeling extremely low. Could these guys all be Devil Fruit users?”
