I survived by drawing cards after being transported to One-Punch Man.

"By the way, what about Brand? How is Brand?" Leone's voice carried a hint of worry, hoping to hear good news.

"You mean Brother Brand? He's doing well."

"Is he alright?" Leone pressed, still worried about Brand's condition.

“No, but it was close. Thanks to that communication device, Akame heard the call and the rescue arrived in time, killing all three of Esdeath’s Beast Warriors, and they were all Teigu users,” Lubbock explained, his tone tinged with relief.

"Since nothing happened, where did that man's evil spirit come from, and why did he lie to me?" Leone whispered, her voice full of doubt, unsure of Lin Yu's true intentions.

"Big sister, what are you talking about?"

"It's nothing... nothing happened, then I'm relieved..." Leone breathed a sigh of relief, but then she seemed to remember something and forced herself to sit up despite the excruciating pain.

“That man is probably Esdeath’s subordinate. The fact that he’s not chasing us means he’s probably gone to the luxury cruise ship,” Leone said quickly.

"You mean, that guy went to the luxury cruise ship!"

"Yes, how many of us are on the luxury passenger ship at the Imperial Port?" Leone asked Lubbock eagerly.

“Brand, Tatsumi, Akame, and Mine are all here,” Lubbock replied.

"Mine went too?" Leone asked, somewhat surprised.

“Yes, the BOSS felt the need to strengthen the forces, so he sent her,” Lubbock explained.

“With Mine’s long-range fire support, we should be able to handle it…” Leone was still a little worried, and she tried to stand up.

“Hey, boss, don’t move around. It’s not far from headquarters. I’ll take you back first, and then I’ll go provide support.” Lubbock tried to stop Leone.

But Leone firmly pushed him away, "Don't make me a burden. I know my physical condition right now. Going to provide support is impossible for me; I'll only be a liability. You go to provide support immediately. I can return to headquarters on my own."

Lubbock thought for a few seconds and then nodded. He knew that if he refused again, it would be disrespectful to Leone.

"I understand, this is a distress signal. Use it if you can't hold on any longer."

"I understand, I won't force myself," Leone said weakly.

Lubbock then left, glancing back several times as he went. After he left, Leone suddenly knelt down.

A "wow" sound.

Blood trickled from Leone's lips. Her fingers were trembling. Her injuries were severe, and a quick recovery would be difficult. She could only wait it out.

Pain surged through her body like a tidal wave, almost causing her to lose consciousness again. She struggled to stay awake, using her claws to climb a giant tree, and lay down on the trunk, her breathing rapid and heavy.

.........

In the port of the capital, a magnificent luxury passenger ship slowly came into view, the chaotic scene on its deck indicating that a fierce battle had just ended.

The bodies of the three beastmen lay quietly to one side, while Tatsumi supported the injured Brand, his face showing relief at surviving the ordeal.

"I thought I was going to die here, thank goodness Mine and your reinforcements arrived in time," Brand said with a grin, realizing he had almost died.

Mine, a tsundere twin-tailed loli, wears a pink dress, loves sweets, and is a night raid sniper. Her Teigu is [Romantic Turret Pumpkin].

However, it does not fire physical bullets, but instead transforms spiritual energy into destructive shockwaves. As the user's situation becomes more dangerous, the power of Romantic Turret Pumpkin also increases.

With Mine's precise support, Brand successfully defeated the three Beast Warriors using his Imperial Arm, Demon Possession.

While there are differences in strength among Imperial Arms, the user's strength also determines the limits of how well the Imperial Arms can be used.

As the luxury passenger ship slowly docked, Akame and Mine were already waiting on the shore. They went forward to greet the returning warriors.

"Mine, your fire support came just in time."

Brand's smile made Tatsumi blush. She'd heard from Leone that Brand seemed to have a problem with his sexual orientation, preferring men, and that she and her brother...

"It's...it's alright, I am a shooting genius after all." Brand's smile made Mine tremble involuntarily.

"Have you collected all the Imperial Arms?" Akame asked. She was a cute, naive girl with black hair and red eyes who only revealed her killer side in battle.

"Collection complete, three in total."

"Then we must retreat immediately. Lubbock has sent word that a very powerful enemy is approaching," Akame warned.

Akame and her group quickly retreated towards the port.

........

On the stone-paved road of the capital's port, a solitary figure slowly approached.

"Why are you leaving so fast? You could have said goodbye before you left. Besides, I wanted to play a game with you guys." Lin Yu's gaze swept over everyone. Brand was injured, Tatsumi was too weak, Mine was a ranged attacker, so it seemed that the only opponent was Akame.

Lin Yu brandished the Demon Possession sword, its blade tracing simple sword flowers in the air as he slowly approached Chi Tong and the others.

Tatsumi asked in surprise, "Is this because my brother is possessed by an evil spirit?"

Mine looked at the two identical Imperial Arms in Brand's and Lin Yu's hands with confusion and said, "That's not right, the Demon Possession should be here."

Akame commanded, "Stop hesitating, Mine, go and support me from a distance. Tatsumi, take Brand and retreat first."

As she spoke, Akame walked towards Lin Yu.

Mine immediately obeyed the order and quickly ran away. Although Tatsumi hesitated, seeing that his older brother Brand was seriously injured, he took him away first.

After watching the actions of the others, Lin Yu suddenly had a valuable item in his hand, which was dropped by the Infinite Warrior from the Sakura Kingdom.

Flashbang (Green): A lightweight, non-lethal weapon that uses bright light to impair the target's vision and noise to impair the target's hearing.

Lin Yu quickly detonated the flashbang and threw it at Chi Tong and the others. He then quickly covered his ears and closed his eyes. Although he didn't know if the flashbang would work on him, safety came first.

"Oh!"

The flashbang exploded. Although it did not cause physical damage, the intense flash and noise it produced were enough to instantly cause people to lose their sight and hearing, resulting in brief confusion.

Akame and the others were completely unprepared for the effects of the flashbang. Except for Mine in the distance, everyone else was disoriented by the sudden bright light and loud noise.

Akame struggled to maintain her balance, using the Murasame sword to protect herself from a sneak attack. A white light flashed before her eyes, her ears rang, and she felt dizzy.

"Tear!"

"boom!"

The sounds of flesh being torn apart and gunshots rang out amidst the chaos.

"Big brother!" Tatsumi's voice came, and Akame felt anxious, not knowing what had happened.

As Akame's vision gradually returned, she saw that Brand and Tatsumi had deep wounds on their chests. If it weren't for Mine's firepower support, they would be dead.

"Burial!"

Red Eyes uttered those two words in a low voice and rushed towards Lin Yu.

Lin Yu used his telekinesis to cover his entire body as usual. After all, Akame's Murasame sword was known for its one-hit kill, and if you were injured, you would die. He didn't want to mess things up.

Even Esdeath was affected by the curse poison and had to lose an arm to survive. She absolutely could not be injured, not even with the slightest wound.

As soon as the two clashed, Akame aimed straight for Lin Yu's vital points.

"Ding, ding, ding!"

Swords flashed, blades clashed, sparks flew. Akame was much more interesting than Leone; it seemed I could play with her a little longer.
