141 141. Silent Death

A shrill laughter came from the other end.

"Mamamama, you took my people so I am going take something from you. You love your wife, don't you? It looks like she is very interested in rare plants."

Mace was shocked, "Sir!"

Leo's eyes turned cold, "So?"

Big Mom's hearty laughter came from the other end, however it was filled with strong killing intent.

"When I get my hands on her I will take away her life force and let you watch her die. Then if I am in a good mood I will send you her head, Mamamama."

Kachak!

The call was cut.

Mace was panicking. He took out his den-den mushi and tried to reach the crew but the call didn't connect.

"Sir, what should we do?"

He was nervous and sweating. If Big Mom said she was going to kill then she will definitely do it. This was a Yonko!

However Leo wasn't nervous nor was he panicking. He turned his head and suddenly smiled.

"Relax. As long as Big Mom herself doesn't make a move Shinobu will be fine."

Mace calmed down after listening to Leo. Right, Ma'am is proficient in drugs and poison, maybe she will be fine.

Leo suddenly thought of something and said, "Right, get some people to bring body bags, a lot of them."

He didn't explain further and walked inside the house.

Mace hurriedly followed him.

...

On some island.

Shinobu was walking through a dense jungle with a bag in her hand. It was a purple plant with purple spotted leaves and a purple flower.

Behind her were several marines, all of them were carrying several types of plants.

"Let's pick up pace. I want to get back before sun down."

Shinobu said to them and walked briskly. Just as they were about to get out of the forest Shinobu paused her steps.

"Come out."

She said softly. Her voice travelled through the air and echoed through the silent forest.

The people with her were confused for a second before raising their guard. All of them looked around warily.

"Should I say as expected of that man's wife?"

An arrogant voice came from the forest. Shinobu looked in a particular direction and saw a man walk out. He had orange hair and wore a coat over his shoulder.

Another figured walked out with him. It was woman, she was tall and slim and wore a large hat. She had a cigarette in her mouth and a sword on her waist.

"My my, Oven and Amande of Big Mom pirates."

These two were from Big Mom pirates! They were officers ranking below the Commanders.

Oven swept his eyes over the crew and said coldly, "Capture her and kill the rest."

As he said those words many shadows jumped out from behind the thick forest and assaulted Shinobu and her crew.

Back on the island.

Leo was checking several equipments for forging. Mace was standing beside him as he stared at the den-den mushi.

"Sir, will ma'am really be alright?"

Leo didn't turn back and said, "Relax would ya. She will be fine."

After making several rounds he walked out of the workshop. As he saw Mace staring the den-den mushi nervously he chuckled.

"You really underestimate my wife. Sure, she is weak in a direct confrontation but when it comes to pure killing... even I don't dare say I can outclass her."

...

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The shadows pouncing of Shinobu and the crew fell down like dominos. All of them had their eyes rolled to the back of the heads and was foaming from their mouth. Their skin started to turn reddish purple.

The crew stared wide eyed at what just happened. They gulped as they looked at the smiling Shinobu. A chill ran down their spine when they saw her smile.

Devil! She is the devil!

Oven and Amande were startled, then their faces turned ugly. Their eyes locked onto Shinobu's slim figure and couldn't figure out how she had done it.

Amande kneeled down beside one of her subordinates and poked his skin.

The man's skin broke easily and purple blood seeped out. It carried a heavy stench with it.

"It's poison!"

Amande turned solemn. She looked at Shinobu and said, "You are good."

Shinobu chuckled and said, "You have very strong poison resistance, but you shouldn't be too confident about it."

Amande frowned and was about to say something when she felt her hand go limp. She tried to raise it but it didn't move.

Boom!

Oven saw the situation turning grim and attacked Shinobu. His hands glowed bright red like a hot iron as he punched at her.

Shinobu nimbly dodged him and waved her hand.

Oven's kenbunshoku haki picked up several projectiles flying in his direction. He stepped aside and rushed forward.

He intended to close the gap between them.

However halfway through his legs went limp and he lost balance. He rolled through the mud and settled right before Shinobu.

Half squatting Shinobu said with a beautiful smile on her face, "It finally kicked in."

Oven was horrified. No matter how much he tried he couldn't move. Suddenly a wave of pain hit him. He could feel his blood freeze and slow down. His muscles were starting to shrink and tear. It felt as if countless ants were knawing on his body.

Amande who was trying her best to fight the poison in her body froze when she saw Oven fall down. Her heart started to beat wildly when she witnessed Oven turning purple.

How could this happen!?

They checked all the information regarding Shinobu and knew she was proficient in using drugs. However this was beyound being good at using drugs.

Amande used her remaining strength and rushed towards Oven.

Shinobu shook her head and said, "You really shouldn't move."

Amande just ran a few steps when she suddenly coughed out blood. She was feeling disoriented, her vision was starting to get cloudy.

Suddenly her haki went out of control and the poison erupted. Her expression froze and she fell down.

The crew drew in a sharp breath when they saw Amande fall. They could see her face was pale and devoid of life. Her eyes were empty.

She was dead!
