"Drop dead you crazy broad."
Bege fires off a few shots from his pistols which Marcella swats away with the back of her hand.
"Tch. Haki?"
But it was not. Instead it was her devil fruits work. She made hooks sprout from the bones in her hand with their spines facing outward and the barbs following the angle of her knuckles. But the end result was all the same. She could casually swat the bullets away thanks to her skills with observation. So Bege had to change his tactics.
"Light her up boys!"
Bege shouted and several holes opened in his chest. A second later barely audible pops could be heard as small beads the size of a pepper corn appeared out of him. As they traveled a few inches from his body the small orbs rapidly grew in size until they were cannon balls. For that is the ability of the Shiro Shiro no Mi. It turned the users body into a real castle, one that can shrink down any person or object so they could easily enter the human castle. Marcella knew the ability well. There were few nights when she wasn't imagining herself fighting this ability to come up with ways to counter it. And on those days she didn't she was with...
"Tch. Shut the fuck up."
She stretches out her hand and just as the heavy balls were about to hit her and explode they stop in the air and loose all their momentum at once. It's a technique that isn't very useful against tough opponents but they serve well against chaff that can't exert too much strength. Double sided hooks with barbs on both end. One embeds in the target, in this case the munitions and the other half fixes itself to the air. Taking out her trusty bat she takes a swing at the stuck explosives.
"Batter up asshole!"
Normally the balls would explode on impact. That's why she doesn't directly hit them with her weapon. Instead more barbs sprout from the bat and get snagged on the balls, allowing her to safely slingshot them back where they came from. Seeing the incoming projectiles Bege drops one of his pistols and stretches out his hand. Once the dust from the explosion clears a great silhouette can be made out. The arm of the mafioso turned into a great rook which he used to defend himself. He peeks out from the safety of his great bastion and glares at Marcella.
"Hmph. Crazy bitch."
His arm quickly reverts to normal as he adjusts his suit.
"This could've ended quickly. Just remember that you asked for this. Cavalry! Move out!"
