Chapter 297: The Use of the Gluttony Fruit's Power
"Waaaaah... Brother Didac! Please, please don't let anything happen to you!"
"Sister Belinda, Brother Didac will be alright, right?"
In the darkness, not far from the palace gates, on a relatively soft patch of grass, several teenagers were anxiously surrounding Belinda.
"Phew! It's alright! Don't worry, everyone! I'll keep Didak alive. As long as he wakes up tomorrow, he'll be fine!"
Belinda's hands didn't stop moving at all as she spoke, quickly treating Didac's wounds without even lifting her head.
Belinda knew perfectly well that this place was too close to Soderle Palace, and the gunshots had surely attracted the attention of the soldiers inside. However, she couldn't just take the seriously wounded Didac away, because Didac's injuries were too severe; if he wasn't treated promptly, he would probably die after taking only a few steps.
Belinda also considered using her Gluttony Fruit powers to swallow him, but this method still couldn't guarantee Didak's survival, because even after swallowing the Gluttony Fruit, the injuries would still require healing, and Belinda currently lacked the ability to heal someone internally.
Therefore, Belinda's only option now is to save Didak's life as quickly as possible and then leave this place immediately.
However, what you least want often comes to you.
Hehehehehe...
"Ok?"
Just as Belinda was busy tending to Didac's wounds, a strange sound suddenly came from the darkness behind her, followed by a chilling sensation. This made Belinda immediately abandon what she was doing.
Swish!
Belinda stood up instantly, took a step forward without hesitation, and stared intently in the direction the sound came from.
"Belinda... Waaaaah..."
A child behind Belinda was about to speak when an older child covered his mouth. Then, at Belinda's signal, the group slowly lifted Didac and moved him backward.
"Heh heh heh heh! I just heard gunshots, and it seemed to be coming from here, so I came to investigate out of curiosity. I didn't expect to see my soldiers being killed one by one! Tell me, did you do it?"
Just then, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness in front of Belinda. As the voice grew clearer, Belinda and the child behind her finally saw the person's appearance.
"hiss!"
“It is… King So… Soderdale…”
As the newcomer stepped out of the darkness, the children behind Belinda gasped in unison, and tremblingly revealed the newcomer's identity.
"Oh? So you are my citizens! A bunch of kids couldn't possibly kill my soldiers, so the culprit is you! So, who are you?"
The newcomer was none other than King Soderteller of the Kingdom of Soderler. He was dressed in black and gold attire, with gilded boots, and stood over two meters tall, giving Belinda and the others a considerable sense of intimidation.
King Soderdale's voice was extremely soft, and coupled with his prominently defined cheekbones, at this moment, Soderdale did not resemble a king at all.
"Hmm? You're the king who suddenly became cruel, ruthless, and bloodthirsty?"
Belinda, dressed in a white robe, looked Soder Taylor up and down, but instead of answering his question, she asked her own.
"Oh? Cruel and inhumane? Bloodthirsty? Heh heh heh heh! Is this how my people praise me now? What an ignorant bunch of scoundrels!"
Boom!Boom!thump...
Just as Soderdale finished speaking, the palace gates were flung open, and squads of soldiers rushed out, quickly surrounding Belinda and her companions.
"Your Majesty the King..."
One of the men, who looked like a general, stepped out from the crowd of soldiers and solemnly saluted Soderdale.
"Alright! You all just watch from the sidelines! I will deal with these murderers of rebellion personally!"
Soderdale glanced at the general who had stepped forward to speak, raised his hand to wave him away, instructing him not to interfere, but a shadowy glint flashed in his eyes as he spoke.
"Uh...yes, Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing Soderdale's order, the general-looking man paused slightly, then glanced in Belinda's direction with a hint of regret in his eyes before retreating into the shadows.
"Heh heh heh heh! So, what's next? Will you commit suicide in front of me, or will I personally take care of you?"
Soder Taylor gave the general-looking man a meaningful look, then turned to Belinda and slowly began to speak.
"Hmph! You cruel and heartless bastard! You've ruined this once peaceful town, and you won't even spare these children. You are not fit to be the king of this country!"
Faced with the aggressive Sordetler, Belinda showed no sign of panic. Instead, she sternly rebuked Sordetler's dark rule, while the power of the Gluttony Fruit within her was secretly activating.
"Heh heh heh heh! It seems you're not one of my people! An outsider? Is that ship in the harbor yours? Where are your companions?"
Hearing Belinda's words, Soder Taylor didn't seem angry at all. Instead, he put his hands behind his back and then asked a question.
"Hmph! Release these children..."
Belinda frowned slightly at this, a hint of seriousness flashing in her eyes. She didn't answer Soder Taylor's question, but instead began talking about the children.
boom!
"Answer my question!"
Belinda's answer seemed to have spurred Soder Taylor to a loss of patience. He suddenly accelerated, charging towards Belinda as he spoke.
"Huh? That's fast!"
Belinda, seeing Sordetel suddenly attack her, was surprised by his speed. At the same time, she activated her Gluttony Fruit power, and her right arm visibly transformed into a short sword.
Swish!
Belinda brandished her dagger, meeting Soder Taylor's palm directly. The latter narrowed his eyes, paused in mid-air, decisively withdrew his hand, and then kicked out.
boom!
Belinda swiftly raised her left hand, blocking the unavoidable kick. Despite the impact, Belinda's body remained completely still.
"Huh? It blocked it?"
At this moment, Soder Taylor's expression grew even deeper; he hadn't expected that the seemingly weak Belinda would actually block his attack.
Swish!
boom!
Soder Taylor's attack failed, and he immediately withdrew, but the moment his feet touched the ground, his body shot out again, heading straight for Belinda.
boom!boom!boom……
Meanwhile, Belinda quickly adjusted her position. The dagger that had been in her right hand disappeared, replaced by a pistol, which she used to fire a barrage of shots at the charging Soder Taylor.
"Hehehehe..."
A burst of laughter erupted from Soder Taylor as he swiftly dodged through Belinda's barrage of bullets, appearing before her in an instant, his massive fist aimed straight at her.
Swish!
The instant Soder Taylor appeared before her, Belinda decisively holstered her pistol and crossed her arms in front of her.
boom!
Soder Taylor's punch was powerful; Belinda was knocked back several steps, nearly colliding with the trembling children behind her.
"hateful!"
boom!
At this moment, Belinda frowned deeply. She knew she couldn't back down any further, or it would affect the people behind her. So Belinda began her counterattack.
hum!
Belinda activated the power of the Gluttony Fruit, her two fists transforming into two short swords at a visible speed, while her forearms turned into two steel rods of equal length and thickness.
"Huh? This? A Devil Fruit user? You're a Devil Fruit user too?"
