Apophis with a Foul Mouth

Kuina took a deep breath, "Why don't you just kill me? If you two join forces, I shouldn't even be able to put up the most basic resistance, right?"

"Don't underestimate that man's strength!" Apophis said calmly, "Besides, if it's just me, can you resist?"

"If you don't try, who can know the final result?" That said, but Kuina also understands the danger of this battle.

As far as strength is concerned, Blackbeard is naturally no match for an old Goko like Apophis, and she can't even beat Blackbeard, so it's unlikely that she will be Apophis' opponent.

She dared to come to assassinate Apophis, just by the peculiarities of the fruit ability.

Yes, this fruit was obtained by her in a "strange encounter", called Inu Inu no Mi - Mythical Zoan - Model: Kyubi no Kitsune!

This Kyubi no Kitsune fruit has a perfect transformation that cannot even be detected by Kenbunshoku Haki, which can hide from a strong person like Apophis.

But unfortunately, she still lost to "luck"!

"You're right, if you don't try, you won't understand what despair means!" Apophis said, his right hand moved, transferring the two to a deserted island in the nearby sea.

"Is it because you are worried that I will tell those of your men that you are united with the Marine Corps?" Kuina's face with a faint mockery.

"No, just planning to give you a quiet funeral!" Apophis said in a cold voice.

When the words fell, Apophis rushed towards Kuina with Ame no Habakiri in his hand, so fast that even space rippled.

Kuina is instantly transformed to Longinus' form in the eyes of Apophis, holding Nidai Kitetsu in both hands and cutting forward with unrelenting momentum.

Although the transformation of the Kyubi no Kitsune fruit can only have part of the strength of the transformed object, the power of the body of Longinus, even if only part of it can be called the epic level of strengthening.

This power is also thanks to Kuina's familiarity with Longinus. Otherwise, the compatibility is too poor; then, she could not lend much strength.

Like the hunter a decade ago, although the object of transformation is Whitebeard, but failed to gain much strength added.

The collision between the two meito swords of the Wano Country was that Kuina was blown away.

"Even if you imitate the same, after all, you are only yourself, and his strength is too far away!" Apophis instantly closed in, not giving Kuina time to breathe at all.

"Sure enough, the gap still exists!" Kuina adjusted her body in time, barely met Apophis's slash before being knocked away again, sliding on the rough rocky ground with a hot, stinging sensation coming from her back.

But Kuina no longer has time to think about the injury because Apophis reappeared in front of her eyes.

The pupils' depths are full of indifference, without the slightest hesitation, even the meito sword capable of cutting down the sky slashed towards the body.

Already lying on the rocky ground, Kuina had no time to dodge and could only put Nidai Kitetsu across her chest.

Boom!

As if the thunderous explosion, the entire island was split in half along the direction of the knife's fall.

Kuina's body naturally fell into the abyss and was buried in the ruins at the canyon's bottom.

Immediately afterward, the stagnant waters began to pour into the canyon.

The waves lapped and seemed to be soon turning the canyon into a gorge.

A figure flew out at great speed and finally was in time to avoid the end of being submerged in seawater at the last moment.

Only, Kuina could not celebrate before she was suddenly appeared in front of a sharp blade cutaway, hitting the rocky ground heavily; the slash plus the impact of the injury made her look like she had been soaked in blood.

"Is that the extent of it?" Apophis said disappointedly, "Only this level, even that waste father of yours are not as good!"

"No ... you are not allowed to say that about my father!" Kuina struggled to her feet and roared.

"A loser is a loser, this phrase, do I need to teach you?" Apophis cocked his head and said indifferently.

"He is not a loser!" Kuina roared in anger and took the initiative to attack Apophis.

Seemingly breaking through a specific limit, Kuina's speed was surprisingly faster again than before by a few points.

Only, this degree is still not enough!

Soon, Kuina flew backward at an even faster speed.

"In fact, he's more than a loser, he's a betrayer!" Apophis taunted.

Kuina didn't say a word but just charged up again in a fury, with demonic apparition behind her, which almost materialized.

This berserker stance seems to be pulling out the latent power of Nidai Kitetsu, making it slightly tricky for Apophis to fight.

Of course, it is only tricky.

Apophis dealt with his opponent's attack while increasing his taunting, "If you really want to know that father of yours's past, I wouldn't mind telling you."

"He was a swordsman from the Wano Country, the strongest swordsman under Daimyo Hakumai."

For Apophis's narrative, Kuina guessed in her mind long ago.

From what she learned from Kozuki Hiyori, many of his customs matched her father's experience, such as the accent "Snatch", which seemed to have come from the Wano country.

"Only, he was bribed by Kurozumi Orochi, when facing the enemy's attack, he fled without any resistance, taking his woman with him, and fleeing from the Wano country in a most humiliating gesture."

"Such behavior, even that woman felt shame, and after giving birth to you, she committed suicide and died! Under the inner torment, he chose to forget his own that powerful swordsmanship, willing to be a dojo master in a small village."

Apophis tone bland, " Now you understand, that your father ... is a complete failure!"

Although Kuina instinctively thinks Apophis is lying, she vaguely feels that Apophis is telling the truth after a calm analysis.

Whether it was her father's origin in the Wano country, or her mother, whom she had not seen since she was a child, and the reason why her father, who had powerful swordsmanship, was willing to work as a dojo master in that small village;

All of this seems to point to the "truth" that Apophis said!

"Speaking of which, he died with less waste, I always thought that he would kneel down and beg me for mercy, but I never thought that his last wish was just for me not to hurt you." Apophis sighed, "It's just a pity that you don't know how to cherish it too much, the continuation of that year, end it here!"

"You, have you said enough?" Kuina looked indifferent; the frenzied attack once again surged, for a moment, unexpectedly, in turn, suppressed Apophis.

"This kind of aura, it's really like that." Apophis moved his body, "It's barely enough to make me serious!"
