Vivi Versus Rear Admiral Part 2

[Iron Body]

Barricade immediately understood that he won't be able to dodge this wave of attack so he relied on his strongest defense.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As the sand balls began to fall, they left quite a lot of red marks on his body. Although it didn't break him completely, it was enough to cause severe skin injuries.

Thud!

Barricade landed next to Bufflo when the wave of sand balls ended. He gritted his teeth, swallowing the painful experience and preparing himself for the next move.

"Be careful! She is using her sand in a different way than Crocodile. We have seen Crocodile use his devil fruit a few times but this is completely different."

"You will distract her while I will try to break her gourd. I get the feeling that her powers come from that gourd."

Bufflo warned him and quickly used Shave to move several meters away from Vivi.

Barricade swallowed the pain and once again raised his sword.

He was a marine who had gone through harsh training in Iron Body. This was nothing for him.

He clenched his sword extremely hard and closed his eyes for a moment.

"Huh? What is he doing?" Not only Vivi but even Bufflo was confused by his move.

Closing his eyes in front of his opponent seemed quite a stupid move.

But, the next second, he opened his eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Vivi and Bufflo sensed a powerful aura coming out of him.

"I was extremely close to reaching this state but never thought this battle would help me grow."

"Take this!"

[Strength of the Hundred Bulls]

Barricade waved his sword and a massive sword energy burst out of his sword. Before this, he was only able to release his sword energy through his legs.

But now, he had finally reached the next stage of swordsmanship.

[Desert Wave]

A massive wall of sand appeared in front of the slash that had just been released. But, when that slash collided against the wall, it easily pierced through the wall.

The entire wall of sand fell beneath Barricade's feet but the sword slash kept moving forward.

[Sand Sword]

A long sword made out of sand appeared in her hand. Vivi exerted her own strength and blocked the slash but it was extremely heavy.

This slash seemed to be carrying the strength of several bulls.

But, Vivi wasn't weak either. Her strength allowed her to perfectly block it and even disperse it.

Bufflo took this as an opportunity and rushed toward Vivi. His speed was extremely fast but Vivi's senses weren't weak either.

She sensed his presence and instantly released a massive wall of sand.

Seeing this, Bufflo couldn't help but smirk. Even Barricade who could' use Haki was able to pierce this wall. How could this weak wall block his attack?

Even so, he infused his Haki into his sword and slashed it. Just when the sword collided against the wall of sand, he noticed something and his expression turned ugly in an instant.

"Barricade."

[Sand Binding Coffin]

The sand from his feet suddenly rose before Barricade could react. His entire body was covered in sand and when he tried to move, Vivi's cold tone rang in his ears.

"You are late."

[Sand Waterfall Funeral]

Kacha!

As if his bones were being crushed, the sand began to pulverize his body from all directions. The massive amount of sand could cause quite a lot of pressure that even his Iron Body couldn't block.

"Argh!"

Barricade's scream came out of the sand and listening to his scream, Bufflo felt cold for a moment. His anger was soaring as he infused his Haki into his sword and swept it with his full strength.

"Damn you, pirate!"

Crash!

The massive amount of sand fell on the ground and Bufflo came moving forward.

[Quicksand Waterfall Flow]

Vivi's forehead began to sweat as she turned her attention toward Bufflo. She raised her hands and a massive sand tsunami emerged from the ground.

It moved toward Bufflo who was full of rage.

But even so, Bufflo didn't lose his mind. He instantly used Moonwalk to fly into the air, trying to dodge the attack.

[Monstrous Sand Arm]

Although she couldn't perfectly replicate it, she still remembered the shape of the hand in the picture. She controlled her hand to create that massive arm that looked like the arm of an animal.

This arm was formed at the top of the quicksand waterfall. So, even when Bufflo thought he was able to dodge her attack, he was still near her range.

"Damn it! Her range is too much."

Bufflo gritted his teeth and slashed his sword. He managed to cut the entire arm with his sword but he lost his foothold in the air and fell on the hand.

Vivi quickly touched the ground and turned the waterfall of sand into a pond of sand. The moment he fell on that sand, it instantly changed as he began to sink into the ground.

[Prison Sand Burial]

Vivi's forehead was full of sweat and her eyes were a bit heavy. She was pulling so much amount of sand that her stamina was almost depleted from this attack alone.

"Pirate, die!"

A loud noise came from behind Vivi.

It was so fast that Vivi wasn't even able to react. She thought Barricade was already out cold so she concentrated all of her energy on defeating Bufflo.

But for some reason, he managed to come out alive. Not only did he come out alive but also was able to move. She even felt a threat of death.

A little bit of sand condensed a shield behind her but she knew this wasn't enough.

[Extreme Firestar]

Boom!

A voice rang in her ears as fast-paced ammo flew past her and collided against Barricade. The moment it collided, the ammo collided causing a massive explosion.

Thanks to Sand Shield, Vivi managed to block the flames but the impact of the explosion was still quite strong. If she hadn't been using her strength to hold Sand Shield, it would've collapsed.

"Argh!"

A scream came out of the sand in front her. Only after hearing this scream, did Vivi let go of her hand and fell on her butt with her face covered in sweat.

"Haa! Haa! Haa! I...."

A look of shock and surprise appeared on her face as she murmured.

"I won."

"Vivi!" "Vivi!"

Chopper and Nami came running towards her. When they saw her, they immediately jumped and hugged her.

"We were so worried about you. Usopp told me that one of them could even use Haki. I was so scared for a moment." Nami kept speaking while holding her tightly.

"Vivi, are you alright?" Chopper looked at her with teary eyes and tried to see her condition.

When he saw that she was only tired, he sighed a breath of relief and happily smiled. His eyes twinkled as he spoke.

"You defeated them all by yourself. You are so amazing, Vivi."

Vivi smiled and shook her head.

"Liam is the amazing one. This way of fighting is extremely powerful and also quite taxing since I have to keep creating more and more sand."

"If he hadn't focused so much on my training, I wouldn't even last for a few seconds. It was thanks to him I managed to defeat these two Rear Admirals."

Hearing her words, Usopp walked closer and proudly said.

"And, don't forget about me. I just saved your life."

"Thank you, Usopp-san!" Vivi wasn't stingy with her thanks.

"Hehe! You are making me blush. But, you are truly amazing, Vivi. Even though you didn't manage to awaken Haki, you still managed to defeat the one who could use Haki."

"And, it was Armament Haki nonetheless." Usopp spoke with a serious expression.

"I was indeed scared. Thankfully, my battle relies more on intelligence than power. And, the difference in strength between me and these rear admirals wasn't high." Vivi replied.

"Anyway, four of us won which means we have defeated all six Rear Admirals. Should we go support Robin or our Fleet?" Nami asked. After defeating her opponent, she felt even more confident.

Usopp thought for a moment and said.

"Chopper, you take care of Vivi until she recovers her Stamina. After that, you go and help Robin, Franky. Nami, you and I will help our Straw Hat Fleet."

"Against the battle with Vice Admiral, the strength of Logia Fruit could make a difference but we can't."

Nami, Vivi, and Chopper thought for a moment and nodded.

Although Usopp was strategic with his attacks, he won't be able to fool Observation Haki user and Nami's thunder attacks won't do much damage against their Armament Haki.

Only Vivi with Logia powers and Chopper with Armament Haki can help Robin. However, Vivi was already down due to her lack of stamina.

At this moment, Merry's voice rang through the Enies Lobby and through the broadcast.

"Marines sent six rear admirals. Four of them were already defeated. And now, we have the winner of the last between Rear Admirals and Straw Hat Pirates, Vivi.."

"In this battle, Vivi of Straw Hat Pirates wins. Now, the only powerhouse of Marines that remains are Vice Admirals and Admirals."

With a cute smile on her face, she asked.

"So, who do you think will be the next one to win?"
