Starting with helping Zhao Kai ascend the throne in the snow

"Let's deploy the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Seraphim." Vegapunk sighed helplessly as he looked at the enormous foot that blotted out the sky.

The Seraph of the Seven Warlords is the ultimate humanoid weapon that Vegapunk has been researching in recent years. It is a more powerful war weapon based on the Pacifistas.

Each of the Seven Warlords of the Sea has the bloodline of the Lunaria race, possessing the physical characteristics and abilities of the Lunaria race. Their appearance is based on the childhood form of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Through the "green blood" in their bodies, the Seraphs can possess the copying ability of corresponding Paramecia-type Devil Fruit users.

These Seraphim are the culmination of Vegapunk's life's work in science. Each Seraphim possesses strength comparable to a true Shichibukai, and they are the true weapons of war that the World Government aims to create to permanently rule the seas.

Vegapunk's passion for research is his dream, so he willingly uses the power of the World Government to research all sorts of advanced technologies. However, the World Government's ambitions reveal evil to Vegapunk, and he is unwilling to see his painstakingly researched scientific achievements become weapons for evil.

So Vegapunk was secretly conducting his research while constantly tormenting himself internally. Therefore, he chose to conceal the progress of his research on the Seraphs. So far, he told the World Government that he had only researched the Seraphs of Boa Hancock and Doflamingo, and that there had been no progress on the other Seraphs.

Barrett was about to stomp on the research building on the ground, but the next second, two small figures flew out of the building below with a huge aura.

"Threads entangle..." The Seraph of Dover flew through the air at an extremely fast speed, and invisible threads instantly bound the right foot and neck of the Barrett Combined Titan together, stopping his right foot from falling.

"Sweet Breeze." At the same time, the Empress Seraphim condensed her hands into a heart shape in front of her chest, and a beam of heart-shaped light shot out from her hands toward Barrett's combined giant.

"Am I seeing things? Are those Little Doflamingo and Little Boa Hancock?" Festa, who had been watching the battlefield from the shore, looked extremely shocked and bewildered when he saw the two Seraphim that had suddenly appeared.

What's shocking is the Seraph's power, and what's strange is that the Seraph's appearance is that of Dover and the Empress in their childhood. If this news gets back, it will be enough to make Dover very depressed.

On the other side, Barrett suddenly felt the force of his right foot falling onto his neck; if he forced his foot down, he would fall flat on his face.

He was wondering what was going on when, in the next second, he saw Doflamingo and the Empress in their Seraph forms activate the copying Devil Fruit ability.

In an instant, Barrett's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in shock. Upon seeing such an adorable little seraph, his first thought was, "Could this be Dover's son and the Empress's daughter? Otherwise, they could never look so alike."

"Not good." Barrett's mind was still reeling from the shock when he saw the sweet breeze emanating from the Empress rushing towards him, and he was immediately filled with horror.

The power of the Love-Love Fruit is governed by certain world rules; it is an unscientific power. Anyone touched by the Love-Love Fruit's power and attracted by the user's beauty will be instantly petrified. Only those without lust will find it ineffective.

The empress possessed unparalleled beauty, and after obtaining the Sweet Fruit, she unleashed power far beyond what ordinary people could imagine, becoming even more formidable.

The Empress Seraphim inherited the Empress's beauty. Although she is still a child, her cute appearance makes her even more endearing. After all, cuteness is also a form of love.

Therefore, Barrett was caught off guard and shocked when he saw Seraph unleash Sweet Wind. However, although the giant composite human he transformed into granted him great power and attack return, it also made him slow and inflexible.

In the blink of an eye, Barrett's combined Titan was hit by Sweet Sweet Wind and began to petrify from the outside in at a visible speed.

Barrett was fortunate that the combined giant was so large that it gave him time to react.

"Deactivate the combination." As soon as the combined giant began to petrify, Barrett immediately deactivated the combination ability. Before the petrification could spread into the combined giant's interior, he rushed out covered in Armament Haki, thus avoiding being petrified himself.

"Five-colored threads..." Barrett had just escaped his fate of being petrified when Seraph of Dover unleashed his Thread-Thread Fruit power to attack.

As the Seraph of Dover launched his attack, the Seraph of the Empress also joined the attack at the same time. With the two Seraphs working together in perfect harmony, they managed to block Barrett's path for a time.

"You two wretched brats, I'm going to kill you! Conqueror's Haki!" Barrett was furious when he saw that he was being blocked by two Seraphim, and he immediately unleashed the Conqueror's Haki hidden within him.

In an instant, Conqueror's Haki, almost tangible, rushed towards the two Seraphim, slowing their movements. After all, Haki is a power that can suppress Devil Fruit abilities.

"Kids, you're finished." Barrett launched his attack with a sinister grin after suppressing the Seraph's agility with Conqueror's Haki.

With her defenses in place, the Empress Seraphim's power posed a much smaller threat to Barrett. Even when she joined forces with the Seraphim Dover, she quickly fell into a disadvantageous position and was forced to retreat by Barrett.

At the same time, upon seeing the Seraph fall into a disadvantageous position, York and his clones in the research institute were all shocked, fearing that they would be killed by the powerful pirates after the Seraph's defeat. Even Vegapunk's expression turned serious.

Technology is powerful, but its strength lies more in mass-producing powerful individuals. In a battle between truly top-tier masters, the power of technology is actually no match for the power of Devil Fruit abilities and Haki.

Otherwise, the Celestial Dragons' rule over the world would be unshakeable, and there wouldn't be any top-tier powerhouses like the Four Emperors and the Revolutionary Army opposing the World Government.

"Barrett, it's time to go." Just as Vegapunk and the others were worried, a loud horn suddenly rang out on the beach.

"Festa, I'm about to win, just give me a few more minutes..." Barrett said somewhat unwillingly as he heard Festa's voice, his originally fierce offensive slowing down.

"Barrett, the Navy's support will be here soon. If you don't leave, I'm leaving now. If you get caught and thrown into Impel Down again, don't even think about getting out." Festa didn't offer any further advice after hearing Barrett's words; he just said coldly.

"You're lucky today." Barrett's expression changed when he heard Festa mention Impel Down. He immediately suppressed his anger and turned to head towards the sea.
