Helandou's Recollection!

A few beams of light shone through the upright iron bars, but were swallowed up by the endless darkness inside. From the outside, one could only vaguely make out a tall, strong figure lying on the ground with long, drawn-out breathing.

The prison at G-3 Branch was actually quite nice in terms of environment, with smooth and clean walls and floors, without any foul odor or filth. Even when it was pouring rain outside, there was no dampness at all.

Originally, this should have been an extremely quiet space, but now there are always wisps of somewhat noisy noise coming in through the iron gate and walls.

As the noise subsided, the sound of footsteps grew closer.

The next moment, with a loud thud, the prison door dented inwards—it was a steel door!

[Boom--]

Eleven more loud bangs followed as the cell door was smashed open and slammed against the wall at the other end of the corridor. The prisoners in the cells on both sides looked expectantly at the short figure walking towards them.

It's a humanoid penguin, a penguin-man dressed in a magnificent purple robe?

But that doesn't matter. At this point, as long as you can get them out, you don't have to be human!

"Boss! Help me get out of here!"

"Mr. Penguin, please let me out!"

"I am 'Blood Dragonfly' Weizi, with a bounty of 45 million Beli. You must have heard of me. If you take me away from this hellhole, I'm willing to follow you!"

The pirates, who were being held here by the G-3 Branch and were waiting to be sent to Enies Lobby and Impel Down once they had gathered enough men, roared wildly as if they had found a lifeline.

Unfortunately, the Zangjing had no interest in them. He had fought his way in, his body shrouded in a thick aura of killing intent and bloodlust, and he arrived expressionlessly outside the cell belonging to Helandou.

"Still not awake? Looks like he got a pretty bad beating from that Garp."

The Helandou peas inside looked extremely pitiful and wretched at that moment.

His ancient-style green robe looked as if it had been torn apart by some ferocious beast, leaving only the upper half. His face was covered in dry, reddish-black bloodstains, and his arms appeared to be broken. If it weren't for the faint breath he was still breathing, he would really look like a dead person.

"What a hassle."

Zangjing grumbled unhappily, which only made him more irritated by the hysterical shouts of the surrounding prisoners.

"Shut up, all of you!!"

[Buzz--]

With a casual wave of his hand, he shot more than a dozen purple beams into the other cells. Those accurately struck by the beams were all slowed down, and the various cries for help or threats were instantly prolonged, making the area much quieter.

However, judging from the way he used his Devil Fruit ability, his skill level was quite high.

It's far superior to the future 'Silver Fox' Foxy, who still needs specific gestures to unleash a monotonous beam of light.

[Ga--]

At this moment, the Zangjing gripped the cold iron bars with both hands, his arm muscles tensed, and he managed to bend the steel bars, creating a fairly spacious entrance.

"Hmph, luckily I'm observant and noticed this." XZ proudly pulled out a dozen or so small, green beans from his pocket. He had noticed them outside earlier.

Sure enough, the naval officers and soldiers inside the fortress also had these, but there were very few of them. Five guys, I don't know if they were Majors or Colonels, only had this many in total.

He walked over to the unconscious snow Helandou lying on the ground, squatted down, roughly pinched its chin to force it to open its mouth, and then threw snow peas into its mouth one by one, without caring whether it would choke the snow pea to death.

"We can't feed them all; we need to show a few to the admiral."

On the ground, under the influence of the eight Green Beans, the Helandou peas emitted a faint green light, and their injuries and strength recovered at a visible speed. The most obvious change was that their complexion became much rosier.

"Hey, why aren't they awake yet?"

Zangjing touched the back of his head and looked at Helandou, whose eyes were still closed, with a strange expression. He clearly sensed that Hollandaru's aura had become much stronger.

Until he heard the snoring sound coming from the Helandou, leaving him utterly bewildered.

Goodness, it's asleep. The Photosynthetic Energy contained in Green Beans can indeed give you a comfortable feeling like soaking in a hot spring.

"I don't have time for you to sleep in here! Wake up!"

Enraged, Zangjing kicked Helandou, slamming his enormous body against the metal wall of the prison.

[Thump!--]

A muffled thud sent a chill down one's spine, the heavy impact startling Helandou awake. A pair of malevolent eyes blazed in the dark cell, but when he saw the Zangjing, he froze in shock.

"The Zangjing hurt, ouch!"

Before he could finish speaking, the excruciating pain in his arm and chest caused him to break out in a cold sweat, and his body trembled violently.

Just kidding. The injuries from being brutally beaten by a furious Garp, nearly killing him, couldn't be healed by eight ordinary Green Beans.

They only restored his consciousness and gave him the most basic ability to move, but the severe internal and external injuries and fractures all over his body were enough to make him feel pain to the bone.

These excruciating pains also brought back vivid Helandou of what had happened before, especially the Iron Fists that Garp had swung at him.

For a moment, his thoughts wandered, and he became lost in memories of that time.

Autumn Maple Island.

The autumn sky was clear and the air was crisp, the wind was calm and the sea was tranquil – an exceptionally pleasant climate.

He saw a lonely, pitiful warship anchored off the island.

"Hmph, a single warship dares to intrude into our waters. It seems our navy needs a lesson!"

"Lord Helandou Bean, shall we fire the cannon?" his subordinate asked as he approached.

"No need, just ram them."

Crush them!

The next moment, he unleashed the powerful ability of his Paramecia Wheel-Wheel Fruit, causing the warship beneath his feet to spin rapidly in a chain-like motion.

The entire warship was like a sea tank the size of a warship, topped with a steel lance that was also spinning wildly. Like an invincible knight, it launched the most ferocious charge towards the Marine warship!

"Douhaha--"

A wild, unrestrained laugh, accompanied by the whooshing sound of his purple robe.

Despair!

"Wail!"

"Then let it sink to the bottom of the sea!"

But when the wheeled warship and the warship were less than a hundred meters apart, a figure much stronger than him leaped out of the warship.

A burly man with a buzz cut, dressed in a black suit and wearing Justice Coat with strange red and black epaulets, had a face full of coldness and displeasure.

Helandou's face was filled with disdain and mockery.

"Trying to stop this warship by yourself? Foolish! You're courting death!"

I'll run you over!

Although the naval officers were strong, compared to the wheeled warships beneath their feet, they looked like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Imagine the terrifying sight of a man nearly three meters tall jumping into the air to face a strategic cruiser.

"Good timing!"

Suddenly, the naval officer who had jumped up roared furiously, his voice like a raging storm, the sound waves almost making the entire sea surface tremble.

"Take this Iron Fist!"

The dark fist, brimming with Haki power, tore through the air with a deafening roar, and slammed into the rapidly spinning bow of the ship, which resembled a spear or drill.

[DONG!!----]

The terrifying force of the punch, accompanied by a dense shockwave, shook the ground and caused the air to tremble, as if an explosion had occurred, releasing a large amount of powerful wind and air waves.

Amidst the deafening roar and the horrified gaze of the Helandou, the jet-black Fist Bone, accompanied by countless exploding sparks, slowly crushed the still-spinning bow of the ship.

"How is this possible?!"

The Helandou's eyes were practically bulging out.
