"No, he's in O'hara, a new place different from Greenbit, and you'll go there in the future."
Lily laughed, ignoring Mansherry's expression, holding her in her palm, and walked outside.
"Um, um..."
Clearly in the palm of the hand, where she could escape at any time, Mansherry now sat upright, timidly saying, "Aren't you here to rescue me?"
"Not exactly, you have kin working for us, so we assume you're one of us, my... Captain cares about you, or your ability."
Lily said, "But compared to this harsh environment, when you reach O'hara, you'll understand what freedom truly means. We don't forbid you from going back to Greenbit later, but O'hara will also be where you live."
"But, but..."
Mansherry wanted to say something more, but looking at Lily's face, beautiful yet exceptionally cold, she somehow couldn't utter a word...
Rumble...
Just as she stepped out of the chapel, the surrounding corridors shook.
Lily stopped her steps, furrowed her brows looking around, the red dots in her eyes flickered again, glanced in a certain direction below, but didn't care, and continued forward.
"This vibration... is Master Pika."
Monet exclaimed, "Is someone intruding?"
"It's all a mess now..."
Lily glanced out the window from the corridor, there was a clear disturbance outside.
"Is this Doflamingo's plan? So boring... let's go, I want to go up and ask Doflamingo."
"Yes, follow me."
Monet noticeably sped up, taking Lily to the top level of the Royal Palace, just witnessing Doflamingo being beheaded by a one-legged sword fighter.
"Young Master!" Monet exclaimed, her wings flared and snow mist exploded.
The one-legged sword fighter endured the cold, knocked Buffalo flying with a sword, then deflected Baby-5 whose arms turned into scythes, and then with a single leg kicked, swung his sword to break through the snow mist, heading straight for Lily who just arrived.
"Die!!"
Bam!!
A flash of light suddenly appeared at the throat of the one-legged sword fighter, causing his pupils to contract. The sword he swung suddenly veered to block the front of his throat, producing a burst of sparks, and the impact sent him flying backward, falling to the ground.
He quickly lifted his upper body, surprised to look at the seemingly unmoving woman.
Lily glanced around, saw Law sitting in a seat, looking horrified, and the motionless Doflamingo lying there, coldly said, "Is this your plan?"
"Law!"
Just as the words fell, a lively voice sounded from outside, Straw Hat rushed in holding Viola.
"I'm here to save you!"
"Hey! Don't come over, run away, that's..."
Law didn't finish, as Viola, held by Straw Hat, widened her eyes, staring at Lily in the scene in horror, "Bienta Lily?!"
"Viola!"
The old man leaning against a wall, clad in gladiator attire, exclaimed in shock.
"Father!" Viola cried out.
"Father?"
Swish!
A blur flashed, Lily looked down at the old man, with Mansherry now placed on her shoulder, one hand already grasping the sword handle, said:
"You're King Liku? Doflamingo, this is one of the things I dislike about you. If you're going to rule, whether it's justice or evil, the most important thing is to eliminate those who claim titles."
"Whether it's the King... or the nobles!"
Slash!
A cold light suddenly flashed, striking toward King Liku III who was leaning against the wall.
Bam!!
Just as the cold light initiated, a figure swiftly rushed in, bringing along two cold glints, intercepting the descending light.
The two crossed swords emitted nearly white light sword blades, appearing prominently.
"It's you!"
Zoro, with a single eye opened, grinned grimly, "Long time no see, Female Swordsman! What are you doing!"
"Roronoa..."
Lily pressed down the sword blade, coldly said, "Sage's deal must not be destroyed. Eliminating those who cause chaos beforehand is correct."
"Hey, what are you doing!"
From the side came Luffy's voice, followed by a series of rubber fists.
Lily didn't even look, pivoted her steps, white lightning slid past the two crossed swords, adding a layer of haki, and swung a sword towards those rubber fists.
"Fists are just two hands, no matter how many you throw won't change."
As the black light slashed down, Luffy's complexion changed, quickly withdrew his extended arms, covering them with more haki.
But in terms of speed, he was a step slower.
Bam!
The sword blade struck the arms covered with haki, pressing firmly on the ground, further cleaving a trench into the floor.
"Your haki isn't bad, no wonder you escaped from Lady's hand."
Lily said blandly, suddenly kicked out, launching a chaotic Vacuum Slash.
"Rankyaku."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several rankyaku struck Luffy's abdomen, slicing several gashes, and only then did Luffy react, hastily using haki to shield his body.
"Dual-Sword Style: Seventy-Two Troubles Wind!"
A spiral-like slash suddenly flew in, Lily frowned, white lightning turned into a vertical flash, shattering the incoming slash, but at this moment, allowed Luffy to retract his arm.
"Dual-Sword Style: Second Slash!"
Zoro, one hand gripping Shusui, the other Kitetsu III in reverse hold, charged rapidly, unleashing high-speed slashes.
