Sabo was taken aback, stopped his attack and retreated, looking at Liu Jiu with some confusion. Was his uncle going to personally deal with this troublesome woman?
Kuina was also puzzled; how could such an enemy attract her uncle's attention?
Liu Jiu did not adopt any fighting stance, but calmly and directly walked towards Baby-5, who had just regained her footing and was preparing to change weapons again.
Baby-5 also saw the man who suddenly intervened. Although she was wary, her instinct to attack made her fire again without hesitation!
"Bazooka!"
"Armor-piercing shell!"
"Heavy machine gun fire!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Rat-a-tat-tat! Rat-a ...
Various powerful thermal weapons rained down on Liu Jiu like a torrential downpour!
However, facing this barrage of firepower capable of tearing through steel, Liu Jiu did not falter in the slightest, nor did he make any obvious defensive or evasive maneuvers.
He simply raised his hand casually.
The rockets, armor-piercing rounds, and dense bullets that came hurtling towards him seemed to hit an invisible, intangible yet indestructible wall as they approached within a certain range of his body, detonating prematurely or being deflected! The flames and shrapnel from the explosions burst around him, yet they couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes!
Amidst the continuous explosions and hail of bullets, he strolled leisurely step by step to the horrified Baby-5.
Looking at the man who was completely unharmed and whose eyes showed no emotion whatsoever, Baby-5 felt a surge of absurdity and fear.
How is this possible?! Her attack was completely ineffective?!
Just as she instinctively wanted to transform again and unleash an even more powerful weapon, Liu Jiu spoke. His voice wasn't loud, but it possessed a strange, undeniable penetrating power, clearly reaching Baby-5's ears:
"Baby-5".
Baby-5 froze when her name was called out directly.
Liu Jiu looked at her, his tone calm yet carrying a knowing quality as if he had already seen through her:
"I need you to do me a favor."
This sentence is like magic!
Baby-5, who had been filled with murderous intent and ready to fight to the death, froze instantly! The fierce expression on her face melted away like ice and snow, replaced by a huge sense of satisfaction mixed with surprise, emotion, and... being needed!
"You...you need my help?" Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes lit up as if she had heard the most beautiful words in the world.
"Yes," Liu Jiu confirmed calmly. "I need you. Can you be my weapon for now?"
“Yes! Of course! I’d love to!” Baby-5 agreed almost impatiently, a blush even appearing on her face. Her previous hostility and murderous intent vanished, and she became as obedient as a little girl who had received her favorite toy.
"It's so great to be needed by you!"
She immediately deactivated all weapon transformations, stood quietly in place, clasped her hands in front of her, and looked at Liu Jiu with bright eyes, as if waiting for the next command.
This sudden and dramatic turn of events left Sabo, Robin, Bonney, and even Uta, who was being supported by Robin, all dumbfounded.
Sabo's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "This...this is it?"
Robin was equally confused.
Bonnie muttered under her breath, "This older sister... is so strange..."
Ignoring everyone's reactions, Liu Jiu calmed Baby-5 down and then turned around, his gaze settling on the distant Totemjika, the Demon King of Song who had fully awakened and was radiating an aura of world destruction.
The real trouble is still there.
Chapter 165 Baby-5 Transforms into Gundam
"ah?--!!!"
At this moment, Totemjika opened his arms, which were made of black and white piano keys, and his huge mouth suddenly opened, emitting a shrill sound that was out of tune but seemed to tear the soul apart!
This sound was not a physical explosion, but a terrifying impact that directly affected the mind and soul!
Sabo, Robin, Bonnie, Kuina, and even the thousands of fans who had fled earlier, all covered their ears in anguish, their faces turning deathly pale!
The worst off was Buffalo, who was easily tied up and thrown into a corner by Robin. Unable to cover his ears, he suffered the most damage, bleeding from all seven orifices. He was in a terrible state.
It felt as if countless steel needles were churning wildly in their minds, their vision was distorted, they were plagued by auditory hallucinations, they lost their sense of balance, and they almost collapsed to their knees!
Even Baby-5, who had just been "needed," showed a pained expression and swayed slightly.
This is just an off-key test!
This gives a glimpse into the terror of the Demon King of Song!
However, Liu Jiu seemed completely unaffected. He didn't even furrow his brow; he simply raised his hand slowly amidst the piercing, demonic sound.
"Uta, give me a paintbrush that can paint in the air!"
"Okay...okay, here you go!" Unaffected by the sonic shock, Uta snapped her fingers, and a paintbrush appeared out of thin air in front of Liu Jiu.
Liu Jiu took the paintbrush, and a strange halo flowed from the tip of the brush. With a casual stroke, a lively line was quickly drawn in the air in front of him!
With a crisscrossing network of lines and a precise structure, the silhouette of a colossal, majestic giant, brimming with power and technological beauty, is drawn at an astonishing speed—
All that could be seen were streamlined armor, massive thrusters, sharply angled head monitors, and a fierce aura that seemed to pierce through the stars!
It was a Gundam that exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression!
As the last stroke was made, the illusory "Gundam" design seemed to come to life, emitting a faint glow.
Liu Jiu turned his head to look at Baby-5, who was frowning in pain because of the demonic sound, and calmly spoke:
“Baby-5, I need you to become like it.”
His voice remained steady, piercing through the maddening, incandescent sound and reaching Baby-5's ears clearly.
"Yes! I'll transform right away!"
The sense of mission that made her feel needed instantly overwhelmed the discomfort caused by the demonic sound, and Baby-5's eyes shone brightly once again! She activated the Weapon Fruit's power without hesitation!
A dazzling light enveloped her entire body, and her body began to undergo astonishing deformation, reorganization, and expansion!
The sounds of metal clashing and gears meshing rang out in rapid succession!
In just a few breaths, a colossal machine, painted in silver-gray and standing tens of meters tall, almost identical to the design drawn by Liu Jiu, stood prominently in this mental world on the verge of collapse!
The cold metal armor reflected the light from the shattered sky, the huge monocular monitor flickered with a ghostly blue light, and the massive body brought an unparalleled visual impact!
This is—the Gundam form transformed from Baby-5, a user of the "Weapon-Weapon Fruit"!
With a light tap of his foot, Liu Jiu's figure vanished from the spot like a ghost, and in the next instant, he appeared at the cockpit position on the chest of the Gundam (naturally formed by Baby-5's ability).
Almost at the same moment he entered the cockpit, Gundam's huge single eye suddenly lit up!
Om-! ! !
A powerful energy wave emanated from Gundam, even temporarily dispelling the surrounding demonic sounds!
Sabo, Robin, and the others felt the stinging pain and auditory hallucinations in their minds suddenly lessen. They looked up in astonishment at the steel giant that had appeared out of nowhere, and were all too shocked to speak!
"What...what is that?! A robot?" Bonnie's mouth dropped open.
Robin's eyes were filled with disbelief: "The Weapon-Weapon Fruit... can it really do this?"
After the initial shock, Sabo looked at the steel giant with its sharp lines and powerful presence, and his eyes instantly blazed with a fanatical light, as if he had seen a priceless treasure!
"So...so cool!!!"
He was so excited that he almost forgot the pain of the auditory hallucinations he had just experienced, and he couldn't wait to rush up and touch the cold armor!
At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten all about the Demon King of Song and the battle with the enemy.
At this moment, a man's romance overwhelmed everything!
At this moment, Liu Jiu was in the cockpit, feeling a slight connection with Baby-5's consciousness.
He gained complete control, manipulating his steel body as if it were an extension of his own arm, his gaze calmly fixed on the equally colossal Demon King of Song in the distance.
Gundam, that aloof steel giant, under Liu Jiu's control, had its thrusters activated.
Proceed towards the Demon King of Songs.
Inside the cockpit, Liu Jiu's instructions were clear and concise.
That means simply defeating the enemy!
However, every time the Gundam makes a corresponding move, Baby-5's trembling yet alluring voice, filled with a sense of being needed and fulfilled, can be heard inside the cabin:
"Hmm~! Being used like this...it feels so strange..."
"Wow! That pose...it's amazing!"
"Whoosh... Power is surging up! Please use me more, my lord!"
"Here...! Yes, that's it!"
"Ha...this feels like it's starting to get weird..."
These suggestive moans and cries created an extremely eerie contrast with the ferocious fighting posture of the steel giant outside.
Gundam has already charged up to the Demon King of Song, Totemjika!
The enormous demon king, composed of countless dark musical notes, seemed slightly taken aback by the sudden appearance of this iron construct, which was the same size as itself.
It then came to regard Gundam as an enemy.
The giant arm made of piano keys subconsciously rose, and ominous dark red energy once again gathered around it, unleashing a demonic sound that could directly attack the soul!
Gundam's steel fist, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, slammed hard into the Demon King's face, which was not yet fully awake!
Bang!
Totemjika's massive body was jolted backward by the blow, abruptly interrupting the demonic sound he was preparing!
It seemed to be enraged, letting out a silent roar as its massive piano-key arms swept across, creating a storm of ear-piercing noise!
But Gundam was under Liu Jiu's control.
Gundam sidestepped the sweeping attack, while simultaneously bending its other mechanical arm and striking the Demon King's ribs with its steel elbow like a warhammer!
Another dull, loud bang!
"Ouch! I bumped into something! That was... such a strong reaction!"
Baby-5's voice echoed in the cockpit.
