Magellan's brow furrowed slightly as a trace of surprise flashing across his previously calm expression.
Clearly, he hadn't expected Smoothie's swordsmanship to be so refined that she could pose a threat to him in such a short time.
A surge of fury rose in his heart, while also gaining a new understanding of Smoothie's strength.
"You've got some skill, but it's not enough!" Magellan growled, his voice filled with rage and disdain.
The Venom giant hand lunged at Smoothie, swiftly coiling around her like a massive serpent.
Smoothie quickly retreated, her steps nimble, each one perfectly evading the attacks of the Venom giant hand.
Simultaneously, She swung her greatsword to block, the blade clashing with the venom and erupting with sizzling sounds of corrosion.
Her heart was racing with anxiety, as she had already inhaled a considerable amount of the poisonous gas and was beginning to feel dizzy.
If this continued, she would surely be the first to fall!
"Damn it! Magellan's ability is truly troublesome!"
Nearby, Cracker's gaze remained resolute, showing no intention of idling.
His hands moved swiftly and fluidly, as if performing an elegant dance.
As his hands moved rapidly, his body began to surge and transform—his Devil Fruit ability activating.
"Biscuit Soldiers • Army Summon!"
As soon as the words left his lips, countless biscuit soldiers surged forth from behind him like a tidal wave.
These soldiers varied in form, but each wielded sharp weapons, their eyes blazing with unwavering determination.
They marched forward with unified, powerful strides, charging fiercely toward Magellan as if intending to overwhelm him in an endless sea of bodies.
"Trying to overwhelm me with numbers? How laughable!"
A faint, disdainful smirk curled at the corner of Magellan's lips.
His massive venomous hand shot out like a ferocious serpent.
In an instant, venom poured from the giant hand like a torrential downpour.
The venom, an eerie shade of violet, traced terrifying arcs through the air, emitting a nauseating stench.
The biscuit soldiers fearlessly advanced into the rain of venom.
Yet, the moment they made contact with the venom, something horrifying occurred.
The venom acted like a highly corrosive demon's blood, rapidly eating away at the biscuit soldiers' bodies.
In mere seconds, their forms became riddled with terrifying holes, a ghastly sight to behold.
As the corrosion intensified, their bodies gradually disintegrated, ultimately crumbling into useless piles of biscuit crumbs that scattered across the ground, stirring up faint clouds of dust.
"What!!"
"How… how is this possible?!"
"My biscuit soldiers—why are they so fragile?!"
Cracker's expression shifted noticeably in that instant, his previously resolute demeanor now tinged with shock.
Clearly, he had never anticipated that Magellan's venom would be so terrifyingly potent and corrosive.
He couldn't allow Magellan to continue unchecked.
Quickly, he leaped backward, putting distance between them.
Even as he retreated, Cracker showed no sign of panic; the fire of battle still burned in his eyes.
Once more, he activated his ability while shouting.
"Biscuit Soldiers • Infinite Multiplication!"
With his cry, a miraculous scene unfolded.
The fallen biscuit soldiers seemed to regain life, their bodies rapidly reassembling as their numbers instantly doubled.
Moreover, new biscuit soldiers were continuously generated, surging toward Magellan like an endless tide.
This time, their ranks were even more massive, their momentum more overwhelming, as if they could fill the entire battlefield.
Seeing this, Magellan's brow furrowed slightly, though his expression remained largely unchanged.
His venomous hand rose high once more before sweeping forward with overwhelming force.
In an instant, Venom surged forth like a tsunami, its overwhelming tide nearly submerging the entire battlefield.
Wherever the Venom passed, the air was stained with a bizarre purple hue, emitting a suffocating aura.
However, this time, the number of Cracker's biscuit soldiers was simply too vast.
Though the Venom still exerted its terrifying corrosive effect, dissolving a portion of the biscuit soldiers, a great many still managed to break through the Venom barrier, continuing their fierce charge toward Magellan.
"Hmph, interesting."
Magellan slightly raised his head, and then his body suddenly began to swell violently.
As his body expanded, Venom gushed from him like a volcanic eruption.
The Venom rapidly converged, transforming into countless sharp Venom arrows.
These arrows shimmered with an eerie glow, carrying a deadly threat as they shot toward the biscuit soldiers.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
The Venom arrows struck every biscuit soldier with unerring accuracy.
The piercing sound echoed through the air like the roar of death, each Venom arrow containing immense energy, instantly corroding the biscuit soldiers' bodies into nothing but scattered purple residue drifting in the air.
Beads of cold sweat formed on Cracker's forehead.
In this situation, relying solely on those biscuit soldiers to pose even the slightest threat to the powerful Magellan was nearly impossible.
His eyes swept across the battlefield like lightning, revealing a resolute and decisive glint.
"Smoothie, let's join forces!"
Smoothie nodded slightly upon hearing this.
She gripped her giant sword tightly with both hands, her stance lowering slightly as she gathered strength.
In an instant, her arms swung violently, and the giant sword swept out like a bolt of lightning tearing through the sky!
The blade carried an overwhelmingly sharp Haki, as if capable of tearing through space itself, heading straight for Magellan's chest.
Meanwhile, Cracker did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
Planting his feet firmly on the ground, he continued to produce biscuit soldiers, but this time, it was different!
"Biscuit Soldier: Giant's Descent!"
As his voice fell, the ground began to tremble violently, as if some immense force was surging from beneath.
Instantly, a colossal biscuit giant slowly rose from the ground!
The giant stood several meters tall, clad in heavy armor, and exuded a powerful aura with every step it took.
It wielded a massive axe, its blade glinting coldly, sending chills down one's spine.
The giant strode forward with heavy, forceful steps, swinging its axe fiercely toward Magellan.
"Die, you old poison fiend!"
