Find a Way to Punch Him!

Sabaody Archipelago - Streets

Saint Charlos was so angry that his face turned bright red, veins bulging on his forehead. He stomped his feet wildly, snot flying all around him, his voice sharp and piercing.

"Quickly!! Get a Marine Admiral here!! I want to tear that damn ability user to shreds!!"

His guard immediately bowed and nodded, then hurriedly took out a Den Den Mushi (a type of Den Den Mushi) to make the call.

Marine Headquarters Marineford

The air in the Fleet Admiral Sengoku's office was so oppressive it was suffocating.

The Den Den Mushi on the table had just closed its eyes, but the messenger's voice still echoed in its mind—

"Saint Charlos has been attacked in the Sabaody Archipelago! We request the Navy to immediately dispatch Admiral to quell the attack!!"

Sengoku's brows furrowed into a knot, and his fingertips tapped the table, making a heavy "thump, thump, thump" sound.

"Cloud and mist abilities... Could it be..." Nami's name Flash through his mind.

Just then, the office door was pushed open.

"Eek!"

Kizaru strolled in leisurely, hands in his pockets, head tilted slightly, and dragged out his lazy tone:

"Fleet Admiral, why did you call me over here?"

His tone remained nonchalant, but his eyes behind his glasses flickered slightly.

Sengoku raised his eyes, his voice low and solemn. "Go to the Sabaody Archipelago."

"The Celestial Dragons have been attacked."

Kizaru adjusted his sunglasses, a smirk playing on his lips. "Protecting the Celestial Dragons, huh... is such a hassle..."

Sengoku ignored his complaints and continued, "Smoker and Ace are escorting the Supernovas back to base, while Luffy and Nami are still in the Sabaody Archipelago."

"Intelligence indicates that the attackers used cloud-based abilities..."

"I suspect... it might be Nami."

Kizaru raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone unusually serious:

"Well, Luffy might really act impulsively after seeing the Celestial Dragons' behavior."

Sengoku nodded slowly, his hand clenching into a fist, his voice heavy. "Roy hasn't returned yet; we can't afford to give the higher-ups any leverage."

"Go over there and keep an eye on things."

Kizaru adjusted his sunglasses, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, "Understood~"

"Whoosh!!"

Before he finished speaking, his body transformed into countless particles of light, instantly dissipating into the air and heading straight for the Sabaody Archipelago.

Inside the office, Sengoku slowly took off his Glasses, leaned back heavily in his chair, and his brow remained furrowed.

"Please don't make too much of a scene, Luffy..."

Sabaody Archipelago Auction

Saint Charlos's corpulent body swaggered into the arena, surrounded by slave traders.

He looked smug, as if the shooting just now was nothing more than a trivial incident.

"Hmph~ Hurry up! Bring up all the best slaves we have today!"

"I'm in a bad mood today and need to relax a bit!"

The slave traders nodded and bowed obsequiously, quickly arranging the display.

On the other side of the stage, the slaves imprisoned in iron cages had cloudy eyes, their eyes long since devoid of any light for resistance.

They huddled in the corner, numb as zombies.

In the shadows of distant high-rise buildings, Luffy and Nami silently looked down at the auction house.

Nami tapped her fingers lightly on the railing, her gaze icy, her voice low. "Luffy, listen up."

"Our goal is to rescue the slaves and, incidentally, beat up that Celestial Dragons."

"But we absolutely must not reveal our identities!"

Luffy's eyes lit up; his pink dragon scales gleamed coldly in the moonlight, and his fighting spirit burned like fire.

"Fine! Anything is fine as long as I can beat him up!!"

Nami's lips curled slightly upwards, and wisps of mist swirled around her fingertips. "My Cloud-Cloud Fruit can create illusions and concealment."

"I'll release a cloud of mist in a moment to Residence's view."

"You seize the opportunity to rush in, tear open the cages, and rescue the slaves—"

Her eyes narrowed, and her voice was firm. "Give that Celestial Dragons another good beating!"

"But don't kill him!"

"Remember, retreat immediately after you've finished! Don't linger!"

Luffy grinned, and his fists collided, producing a dull thud.

"Clear!"

High above the clouds.

Kizaru sat leisurely in mid-air, legs crossed, his gaze sweeping casually downwards through his sunglasses.

"Oh dear~ what are these two little ones up to?"

His powerful Observation Haki had already locked onto Luffy and Nami's presence, but he didn't immediately intervene; he simply observed quietly.

"Well, Roy's brothers... they're getting more and more troublesome~"

"Whoosh--!"

In an instant, white mist surged into the auction hall like a tidal wave!

Within moments, the entire venue was swallowed by clouds and mist, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face!

"W-what?! Why is there suddenly fog?!"

"An enemy attack?!"

The slave traders and guards were thrown into a panic and chaos.

Saint Charlos abruptly stood up, roaring and brandishing his pistol, "Useless trash! Clear away the fog!!"

However, what he received in response was a sudden, powerful Iron Fist!

"Bang--!"

Luffy's Dragon Fist, imbued with ferocious power, slammed into Saint Charlos's face!

"Boom!!"

The massive body flew through the air, crashing into several rows of seats before embedding itself deeply in the wall, snot, blood, and teeth flying everywhere!

"Ah--Ahhh!!"

Saint Charlos's pig-like screams echoed in the fog, but because visibility was completely obscured, no one could see what was happening!

"Snap! Snap!"

The chains of the iron cage were easily torn apart by the Dragon Claws. The slaves were stunned for a moment, then, driven by their survival instincts, they rushed frantically toward the exit!

Nami's voice came through the clouds, calm yet urgent. "Luffy! Retreat!"

Luffy turned his head, looking at the ugly figure embedded in the wall, his eyes burning with resentment:

"Tsk... not enough beating yet?"

But he still turned to leave.

--But before leaving, he suddenly turned around and kicked!

"Bang!!"

This kick made Saint Charlos's scream rise several times higher!

The hall descended into complete chaos. Slaves cried out and desperately fled towards the exit, while traders and guards were thrown into disarray. Saint Charlos's screams still echoed through the mist, like a death knell of despair.

High above, Kizaru hovered quietly in mid-air, gently adjusting his sunglasses, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"Tsk tsk tsk... What an amazing junior."

--While the guards were still on high alert in a panic.

"Buzz!"

A blinding golden light suddenly tore through the clouds, instantly piercing the thick fog!

Immediately afterwards, a series of deafening roars erupted from the depths of the clouds!

"Boom! Boom! Boom--!"

Golden lasers clashed and collided with an unknown Impact, the explosive energy causing the walls of the entire auction house to collapse and the ground to tremble violently, as if the entire building was about to be overturned.

The guards gripped their guns tightly, their faces pale, sweat pouring down their temples, yet none of them dared to step forward.

Finally--

"Call--"

As the aftershocks gradually subsided, the pervasive mist dissipated inch by inch.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the truth to be revealed.

Admiral Kizaru strolled leisurely out of the mist, one hand in his pocket.

He was dragging a corpse in his hands; it was a Pirate covered in charred wounds, his chest pierced by a laser, and he was already lifeless.

"Oh dear, I'm late..."

Kizaru tilted his head, his tone still lazy, but his voice carried an undeniable air of authority.

He casually tossed the corpse at the feet of the Celestial Dragons guard, a faint, cold glint flashing in his eyes behind his glasses:

"The attacker has been killed by me."

The guards paused for a few seconds, then bowed in unison, their voices firm yet trembling:

"Yes, Admiral Kizaru!!"

Saint Charlos, half-conscious, groaned from the ruins. His guards hurriedly supported him, meekly echoing Kizaru's "achievements."

Meanwhile, in a dark alleyway far from the hustle and bustle, Nami and Luffy had already escaped using the clouds and mist.
