As a Marine, It's My Duty to Eliminate Pirates!

"This should be the place!"

In front of a massive casino, Feng Lei looked up at a huge neon sign bearing the words "Giant Casino."

The entire casino was lavishly decorated in gold and splendor.

All manner of pirate shouts came from inside.

The moment Feng Lei entered the casino, he drew attention. His Marine uniform stood out too much.

"A Marine?"

"I never thought another Marine would dare set foot in the Giant Casino. Does he have a death wish?"

"Heh heh, looks like we're in for a show!"

The casino had other guests besides pirates, but they were all looking at Feng Lei mockingly now.

This was the Giant Casino!

No Marine had ever walked out alive after entering.

And now, word had spread across the entire island that Ang Duo, the owner of the Giant Casino, had thrown in his lot with Charlotte Cracker, one of the Sweet Commanders of the Four Emperors' Big Mom Pirates.

The Marine before them had come in here, and he was simply courting death!

Feng Lei ignored their stares and got straight to the point. "Is there someone named Ang Duo here?"

The casino erupted in an uproar!

They had never expected the Marine before them to be so bold as to ask for Ang Duo right away.

A newborn calf really wasn't afraid of tigers!

In an instant,

the uninvolved pirates and guests instinctively stepped aside.

A situation like this could be left to the pirates guarding the Giant Casino.

"Where did this blind Marine brat come from? Do you really think this is Marine Headquarters?"

A group of pirates surrounded him, nearly a hundred strong. One of them stepped forward and stood before Feng Lei, looking down at him from above.

"You think you can see our boss whenever you want?"

"Looks like things aren't going my way?"

Without even looking up, Feng Lei struck without hesitation.

Bang!

Under the crowd's stunned gazes, the pirate standing before him shot backward, smashing through dozens of gambling machines before finally stopping embedded in the thick wall.

A fist print had appeared on his chest!

A single punch had killed him!

The crowd froze!

Everyone stared fixedly at Feng Lei. The entire casino fell silent.

This Marine had actually dared to strike?

What was more, they hadn't even seen how Feng Lei had done it.

"What terrifying strength. No wonder he dared come to the Giant Casino!"

"But this is Ang Duo's turf, and Charlotte Cracker, one of the Four Sweet Commanders, is backing him!"

"He killed one of his men here. They won't stop until one side is dead!"

Although Feng Lei had displayed considerable strength, at the thought of Charlotte Cracker, no one believed he could withstand the wrath of one of the Four Emperors' officers.

"Brat, do you know what you're doing?"

Another man stepped in front of Feng Lei.

He wore a black suit and a pair of black sunglasses. Beneath his left eye was a vicious scar that looked like a centipede.

Just standing there, he made the surrounding pirates look fearful.

With his appearance, nearly a hundred pirates closed in around Feng Lei. Some even cut off his retreat and shut the casino's doors.

Feng Lei acted as if he hadn't seen them. "I'm looking for someone named Ang Duo. If you can tell me where he is, I can go a little easier on you when I strike!"

"Mwahahaha!!"

The man in the suit seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. His body shook with laughter.

But he soon stopped laughing and slowly removed his sunglasses, revealing a pair of eyes filled with chilling killing intent.

"I'm Ang Duo!"

"Since you made me laugh, I'll leave your corpse intact!"

Ang Duo spoke slowly.

"So you're Ang Duo. That makes things easy!"

Seeing the man he was looking for appear, Feng Lei smiled.

Now it wouldn't be hard for him to find Charlotte Cracker!

"Looks like you still don't understand the situation you're in!"

Ang Duo narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly.

"Kill him!"

A roar rang out!

In an instant, nearly a hundred pirates rushed forward with weapons in hand, hacking viciously at Feng Lei.

The people around them couldn't even see Feng Lei.

Just as everyone thought Feng Lei was doomed,

"Soru!"

Facing pirates charging at him from every direction, Feng Lei abruptly vanished from where he stood.

"He disappeared?"

The pirates who had missed him froze, then looked around for him.

But then,

they saw a white, cube-shaped barrier of light envelop them all.

"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"

A cold voice reached the pirates' ears like the whisper of death.

Boom!

A muffled sound erupted within the white cube of light. Then billowing dust filled the entire barrier, swallowing up every pirate inside.

When the dust settled,

the nearly hundred pirates had vanished into thin air without a trace.

As if some power had erased them from the world!

Silence!

Deathly silence!

Everyone stared at the white cube of light as an indescribable fear welled up within them!

Their scalps tingled!

"This is..."

"Where did all those people go? How could they disappear in an instant?!"

"What did he do?"

Gulp!

Everyone swallowed in terror. A method that could make people vanish from the world without a sound was far too terrifying!

Even Ang Duo was frightened by the sight, a chill running through him from head to toe!

Nearly a hundred of his men had all vanished in the blink of an eye.

It was as if they had been erased from the world!

"You're a Devil Fruit User!"

Before he could recover from his terror,

a white, cube-shaped barrier of light enclosed him completely!

"Damn it!"

Ang Duo's pupils contracted, and he instinctively tried to flee.

Just then,

Feng Lei's voice slowly rang out.

"If you move, you'll die, you know?"

Ang Duo froze on the spot in fright.

His mind was filled with the horrifying sight of nearly a hundred of his men vanishing inexplicably.

"That's more like it!"

Feng Lei slowly walked over and glanced at Ang Duo.

"I finally found someone who knows where Charlotte Cracker is. I'd hate to leave empty-handed. After all... finding a pirate with a bounty over a hundred million in this vast New World isn't easy!"

Ang Duo's heart jolted at Feng Lei's words.

This Marine had actually come for his boss!

His boss was one of the Four Emperors' trusted officers!

How did this guy dare?

"You have one chance. Tell me where Charlotte Cracker is!"

"No, I can't betray my boss, or I'll die!"

Ang Duo screamed in terror.

He couldn't imagine what kind of wrath he would face if he betrayed Cracker.

"You won't talk?"

Feng Lei's eyes turned cold. "I was going to spare you, but it looks like there's no need!"

With that, he moved to strike.

Hearing that he still had a chance to live, Ang Duo's survival instinct overcame his fear. Afraid that he would be erased without a sound, he hurriedly shouted.

"I'll talk! I'll talk!"

"Cracker is on Curry Island!"

After saying that, Ang Duo seemed to have used up all his strength and slumped to the floor.

He knew he would be hunted by an Emperor's crew from now on!

But at least he would be alive. At worst, he could flee somewhere else in the world!

"Really?"

Feng Lei looked at Ang Duo.

Ang Duo nodded vigorously. "It's true. I go to deliver supplies to him every month! As long as you spare me, I can give you money, lots and lots of money..."

Seeing that Ang Duo didn't seem to be lying, Feng Lei cut off his pleas.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in money!"

"No!"

Ang Duo sensed the killing intent in Feng Lei's eyes. His pupils contracted, and he cried out, "You said you'd spare me..."

Bang!

Dust once again filled the cube-shaped barrier.

When the barrier vanished, Ang Duo had been disintegrated and had disappeared from where he stood!

Feng Lei looked at the spot where Ang Duo had vanished and spoke slowly.

"I'm a Marine!"

"Eliminating pirates is my duty!"
