The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

The chaotic battle between pirates and CP9 agents in the bustling downtown area of ​​the Sabaody Archipelago has already turned the once vibrant streets into ruins: collapsed houses, shattered ground, and burning wreckage...

Neither side felt any remorse. For pirates and secret agents of the World Government, destruction and annihilation were commonplace. Compensation? That was simply a pipe dream.

Pirates and World Government agents are lucky if they don't ask you for money; expecting them to pay you back is like dreaming.

Kidd was the first to notice the blue-haired woman with an umbrella walking from the street corner. At first, he thought she was just an ordinary resident behaving strangely, but soon a sticky and damp scent spread as she approached.

It wasn't just the man's imagination; within a radius of several dozen meters centered on the woman, the air became unusually humid, and fine rain fell silently.

The umbrella in her hand perfectly isolated this little world that belonged only to her, keeping her blue clothes dry, just like the legendary rain goddess who brings rain.

"You wantonly destroy other people's homes, have you ever thought that the owner will come back to collect the debt one day?" The woman's voice was cold, carrying a sense of suppressed anger.

Lucci and his crew finally noticed the uninvited guest, but to make them apologize and pay for the damage would be impossible unless the other party possessed strength sufficient to crush everyone; after all, the pirate world reveres the strong.

The gang spies hiding in the shadows breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the blue-haired woman appear, and whispered among themselves:

"Lord Juvia has arrived!"

"Let's teach them a lesson, see if they think our territory is easy to mess with?"

"Let them know who's in charge in the Sabaody Archipelago now!"

Closest to Juvia was Bruno, ragged and fresh from escaping the giant's stomach. Faced with this seemingly frail woman's threatening attempt to dissuade him, Bruno displayed the arrogance characteristic of CP9.

He said coldly, "Get out of here if you don't want to die. CP9 doesn't need to explain its work to anyone."

The agents are used to disregarding life when carrying out missions. CP9 only cares about the lives of their comrades. As for whether others live or die, it has nothing to do with these weapons who have been raised by the Celestial Dragons since childhood.

"Oh, really?"

Juvia slowly turned her head, holding up her umbrella, her blue eyes locking onto Bruno with a somber look. But the moment she turned her head, something unexpected happened.

The sun was still shining brightly in the clear sky, but the light suddenly dimmed over a large area centered on Juvia. A torrential downpour came down without warning, and the raindrops were so dense that they were like a curtain, instantly covering the battlefield.

The rain came in an extremely strange way, completely defying the laws of nature, as if it were entirely controlled by Juvia's mood, as unpredictable as a woman's mood.

"Bruno, get out of the way!" Lucci, sensing deadly danger with his animalistic instincts, warned sharply.

But it was too late...

Juvia stood in the rain like a goddess of water. She simply raised her hand and pointed at Bruno. The next moment, the raindrops falling from the sky seemed to be given life and sharpness, instantly condensing and transforming into dozens of transparent and sharp water slashes.

These water jets tore through the rain curtain, emitting a piercing shriek, and shot towards Bruno from all directions.

"Iron block!"

Bruno's pupils contracted, and it was too late to open the door. He could only roar and push the iron block to its limit, crossing his arms to protect his head, trying to withstand the force with his body.

puff!puff!puff!

Unfortunately, the expected hard-hitting impact did not occur. Instead, there was a terrifying muffled sound of a sharp blade cutting into flesh. The water blade formed by the rain was far sharper than imagined.

It easily cut through Bruno's iron-clad defenses, ripped his clothes, cut deep into his flesh, and even struck his bones.

"Ughhh..." Bruno let out a painful scream and instantly turned into a bloody mess.

Blood gushed from dozens of deep, bone-revealing wounds on his body, and was washed away by the relentless rain, staining the ground beneath his feet a glaring crimson.

In just one exchange, Bruno, an elite member of CP9 and skilled in spatial portals, was critically injured and on the verge of death!

At that moment, everyone, from Lucci and Kaku on the rooftop to Kid, Luffy, and Capone Bege on the street, froze, staring in shock at the blue-haired woman holding an umbrella in the rain.

powerful!

Very strong!

Moreover, their abilities are unpredictable and mysterious!

Everyone realized they had bitten off more than they could chew; one of the true owners of the archipelago had returned to collect his debts from these wanton demolitionists.

In the torrential rain, Kidd and Capone Beki stood together, their hair and clothes instantly soaked by the rain. They watched as Bruno of CP9 was slashed into a bloody mess by the eerie water blade in the blink of an eye, and both of them showed undisguised shock.

But as supernovas who have fought their way out of countless battles and emerged from the New World, they are extremely adaptable.

Kidd wiped the rain off his face, his scarlet hair plastered to his forehead. He stared at the blue-haired woman holding an umbrella in the rain, and a sudden thought flashed through his mind.

He said sternly, "I remember now, the final fruit of the grand auction, the Rain-Rain Fruit, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that can control celestial phenomena, was auctioned off to a mysterious buyer for an astronomical price... So it was you!"

Juvia, holding her umbrella that seemed to shield her from all wind and rain, turned indifferently to Kidd with her blue eyes. Her voice came through the rain, carrying a hint of confirmation: "Too bad you guessed right, but there's no reward."

Her straightforward admission only made the atmosphere more tense.

"Tsk, a natural type..."

Capone Becky's cigar, now wet from the rain, was spat out in frustration, his face grim.

Facing a Logia-type Devil Fruit user who can transform into an element and is almost immune to conventional physical attacks, especially one with the Rain-Rain Fruit that can drastically alter the environment and whose attack methods are unpredictable, is indeed very troublesome.

In this boundless rain, Juvia was virtually invincible.

"Even if they're difficult to deal with, we still have to deal with them."

Kidd's single eye flashed with a fierce light. He was never one to back down easily. "This crazy woman seems determined to clear the area. If we don't deal with her, none of us will be able to take Ada away smoothly."

Lucci also had the idea of ​​a head-on confrontation, after all, less than half a year had passed since the Rain-Rain Fruit was released from the Grand Auction.

In other words, Juvia has only recently eaten the Rain-Rain Fruit, and her control over its power is not yet at the level of a Marine Admiral. If she reveals a weakness, she will definitely have a chance to win.

However, it seems that few of the people present know Armament Haki. If you want to hit the body of a Logia-type Devil Fruit, you can't do it without Haki.

Furthermore, as a female Logia-type user, Juvia is inherently looked down upon. Strong female characters are extremely rare in the world of One Piece; most beautiful women are just pretty faces.
