Chapter 66: Duke’S Strongest Bodyguard (Revised)

"Senior officer of the Figarland Family, Jabra?" 

CP0 Agent No. 18 looked seriously at Wrist Hauser, who had appeared suddenly, and spoke in a mechanical voice, 

"My target is not you." 

"Let me kill the godfather of the Figarland Family, and you can become the new head of the family!"

CP0 No. 18, with combat instincts sharpened by countless fierce battles, sensed the dangerous presence of Seti. 

Seti, known as the King of Combat, had immense potential—often fighting or training for battle. 

Right now, his strength was at an A+ level, about as strong as a typical Warlord of the Sea. 

In simple terms, if Jinbei were fighting on land, Seti would be at least equal to him. 

If Seti had been able to fight more powerful enemies regularly, especially in the rough environment of the West Blue, he might have grown even stronger. 

Unlike in games, where enemies respawn and give endless experience, the real world doesn't work that way. 

The most powerful pirates are like special bosses that don't come back once defeated. 

CP0 No. 18 didn't want to fight Seti in a bloody battle, but Seti wasn't about to let this chance for a fight pass. 

His fists were itching to throw a punch. 

Without saying a word, Seti stepped forward and threw a heavy punch straight at CP0 No. 18's head. 

As for the offer to let CP0 No. 18 kill Duke and make Seti the leader of the Figarland family? That was a joke. Every hero summoned by Duke had sworn eternal loyalty to him. Without Duke, they wouldn't even exist. 

Seti's punch was so powerful that the wind from it made the plants behind CP0 No. 18 sway wildly! 

But just before the punch landed, CP0 No. 18's body turned light, like a piece of paper. 

He moved with the wind of Seti's punch, 

Effortlessly dodging the blow.

But after dodging one punch, another came right after. 

Seti was thrilled, his hands moving quickly as he unleashed punch after punch. CP0 No. 18 dodged wildly, looking like he was dancing on the edge of a knife. 

Finally, with a loud crash, CP0 No. 18's body was slammed through several thick walls, 

Until he hit one last wall and stopped! 

Blood trickled from the corner of CP0 No. 18's mouth, and there were cracks in the strange mask on his face. He pulled himself out of the broken wall with force, 

And the wall collapsed behind him. 

Standing behind the wall was Duke, who had been watching from afar, curious about the man who had broken through Capone Bege's guards and required Seti to step in personally. 

Duke and CP0 No. 18's eyes met. 

"Fixing the manor is going to be a pain," Duke muttered as he scratched his head, looking at the trail of destruction caused by CP0 No. 18's body.

As for his own safety, Duke wasn't worried at all.

Seriously? He had the Outlaw Armor, the Banshee Veil, and the Hextech Gunblade. Who in the pirate world could possibly defeat him? 

Duke was confident in his ability to survive. 

But what gave him the most confidence was 

The graceful figure standing beside him, holding a glowing orb. 

The Nine-Tailed Fox Ahri, the first hero Duke had summoned with S+ potential, 

And the one responsible for personally protecting him.

No one really knows how strong Ahri is now.

CP0 Agent No. 18 stared at Duke, who had suddenly appeared in front of him. A glint of determination flashed in his eyes as he prepared to strike, aiming to take Duke's head with all his strength.

But Seti appeared again.

"Hey, I'm your opponent," Seti said with a smirk, blocking CP0 No. 18's path. "I'm not done having fun yet!"

Seti stood in front of CP0 No. 18, taunting him. "Think you can handle the next punch?"

CP0 No. 18 didn't respond. His eyes stayed locked on Duke, who had been watching the fight from a distance since Seti appeared. CP0 No. 18 was ready to risk it all. 

No one wants to die if they don't have to. 

But when it comes to following the will of the World Government, even if it means death, the mission must be completed. 

God's command is absolute.

Seti leaned back slightly, pulling his right fist to his waist, then launched a powerful punch at CP0 No. 18.

The expression under CP0 No. 18's mask became fanatical as he faced Seti's punch. 

Instead of dodging, he turned and met Seti's punch head-on from a strange angle!

"Iron Body - Steel Armor!"

"Shave Kai - Stainless Steel Charge!"

CP0 No. 18 quietly roared, covering his body in Armament Haki, determined to block Seti's punch.

But it was useless!

With a loud bang, Seti's punch shattered CP0 No. 18's Armament Haki, and the Iron Body technique couldn't stop the impact.

Ripples spread across CP0 No. 18's chest as the punch twisted and shook his entire body. 

The force was so great that his clothes ripped open, revealing a huge, purple, bloodied fist mark on his back.

CP0 No. 18 coughed up blood, his body crushed by Seti's attack.

But there was no pain or regret on CP0 No. 18's face. Instead, there was a cold, focused killing intent.

He hadn't blocked Seti's punch, but he had accomplished his real plan.

The direction he was sent flying and the movement he used when struck were aimed exactly toward Duke.

With one strike, CP0 No. 18 believed he could end Duke's life and complete his mission for the World Government.

Most CP0 agents are trained from childhood, brainwashed to be loyal soldiers willing to die for the cause.

"Life Return," 

"Life Burst!"

As CP0 No. 18's broken body flew toward Duke, his wounds stopped bleeding.

His damaged organs, broken bones, and torn muscles were forced back together, temporarily holding under the power of Life Return.

Then, in a final, desperate burst, CP0 No. 18's body erupted in a cloud of blood. His insides were shattered by the violent explosion.

Even with the monstrous strength and healing abilities common in the pirate world, CP0 No. 18 would die from this.

But before that, he was sure he'd land a fatal blow on Duke.

"Flying Finger Pistol - Shattered Jade!"

Just as CP0 No. 18's Flying Finger Pistol was about to strike Duke,

A glowing orb quietly appeared, instantly crushing the Shattered Jade attack, and at the same time, pierced through CP0 No. 18's heart.

In the distance, Capone Bege, who had just arrived despite his injuries, was left speechless.

"How is there someone in this manor stronger than me?" he muttered.

Ahri's usual identity was just the head maid of Figarland Manor!
