The Dancing Flying Leaf Storm!

"Look! Those black arrows are gone!"

"And the purple light around Rear Admiral Vidal's area is gone too!"

Upon hearing the shouts from other officers nearby, Lieutenant Vice Admiral Kuro, Light Vice Admiral, and others quickly scanned the sea and the square.

Sure enough, the black arrow and the purple light disappeared almost at the same time!

Just then, the cage-like, pitch-black wooden wall in the distant square suddenly began to slowly recede into the ground.

Soon, two familiar figures reappeared in everyone's sight.

A tall man in Justice Coat, his right arm raised and gripping the throat of the person in his hand tightly, was none other than 'Ryokugyu' Vidal!

What he held in his hand was naturally the 'Old Man of Time's' Zangjing, but at this moment he allowed the other to choke him without any resistance or struggle, his eyes wide open and devoid of any light, his breath completely gone.

The chest, thighs, lower body, and neck area of Zangjing were exposed with terrifying wooden splinters stained with blood, and the tips of some splinters even revealed fragments of internal organs.

This caused the purple light to disappear as the Wood Cage opened, and a nauseating stench filled the area. Fortunately, a heavy rain and strong winds washed away the stench.

Only the blood that dripped down his ankles turned into a pool of blood with the rain.

This scene shocked everyone watching, especially the pirates of the Flying Pirates, who were utterly horrified and filled with a chilling despair.

"Are you kidding me, Mr. Zangjing?"

"No! Impossible!"

"How could the Zangjing Master have died? And at the hands of a mere Rear Admiral!"

The death of Zangjing was like a bombshell to the pirates who were still fighting and battling. The morale of the entire battlefield plummeted and collapsed at a visible speed.

"."

At sea, Helandou, alone aboard a tracked warship, stared dumbfounded at the remains of the Zangjing in Vidal's hands, too shocked to utter a single word.

A moment later, he closed his jaw, which had almost dropped onto the deck, and turned around, covered in cold sweat.

At the same time, the warship beneath his feet stopped dragging and sped away into the distance.

The Zangjing are dead, what is he waiting for? Although he is indeed very grateful to the other party for saving him, after so many years on the high seas, he will not hesitate for a moment when it is time to slip away.

As for the thousands of pirates in the port square, they were completely out of his consideration.

Since they weren't his people, let them be buried with the Zangjing Master!

In the square, seemingly feeling that he had already had a deterrent effect, Vidal, with a cold expression, tossed the sutra Zangjing aside as if casually discarding useless trash.

Before the body had even fully hit the ground, six or seven lush green mushrooms sprouted from where it had landed.

The mushrooms exploded upon touching the thrown Zangjing corpse, splattering out a thick green liquid.

They were like a terrifying, potent sulfuric acid, rapidly corroding the purple robes of the Zangjing and the physical structure within them.

Before long, almost no human figures could be seen, only a pile of disgusting green rotting matter.

"Well done!"

Sakazuki was overjoyed to see this, realizing that Vidal's attitude towards pirates was similar to his own.

What are you waiting for?

But just then, Vidal yelled at him, "Wasn't letting one Helandou escape enough? Hurry up and clean up the rest of the pirate ships!"

Sakazuki was taken aback, a look of embarrassment on his face. Indeed, the Helandou had run right in front of him, and he was definitely to take the blame.

He felt it was his own fault, so he didn't feel any resentment towards Vidal's angry outburst.

"Okay! Leave it to me!"

He appeared to be following orders, unleashing torrents of scorching lava that hurtled towards the five remaining pirate ships flanking the warship.

"From now on, not a single pirate can be let go!" Sakazuki roared inwardly, filled with self-reproach.

That's right.

Vidal was pleased with Sakazuki's attitude, and at the same time turned his attention to the pirates on the main battlefield in the distance.

To be honest, he doesn't have much Photosynthetic Energy left. Although his Respiration is effective, it's also a major energy consumer. Plus, the current climate is terrible, and he can't get any sunlight at all.

Fortunately, of the hundred tree spirits he had previously created, fifty or sixty remained, along with the two hundred and ten officers he had brought. Overall, they were completely dominating the pirates.

The battle should be over in one or two hours at most.

[Whoosh!]

Just then, Vidal suddenly moved, charging towards the battlefield. However, he didn't have the familiar green aura around him and looked rather ordinary.

This battle with the Zangjing made him realize that his Armament Haki lacked refinement.

To put it bluntly, it's simply a lack of foundation and sufficient combat experience!

There's nothing we can do about it; he's too young, unlike the future Straw Hat Luffy who encounters Shichibukai- level enemies every few days and always manages to defeat those much stronger.

And even Luffy was still beaten by Katakuri, chased by Big Mom, and flattened by Kaido's club.

The most crucial reason is that Luffy's growth rate is too fast, and his foundation in Armament Haki is obviously insufficient. He was exhausted and panting after only ten minutes of fighting Kaido with all his might.

This clearly indicates a severe shortage of Haki reserves; even the real big shots would need to fight for several days and nights!

Vidal knows that he actually has this problem now too!

Therefore, in his eyes, this battlefield, where the outcome was already decided, was a rare opportunity to hone his Haki.

They charged directly into the air pirates' formation from the side.

The rain was still pouring down, the wind was howling, there was a thick layer of blood underfoot, and all he could hear were roars and cannon fire. Before him stood one vicious pirate after another, brandishing knives.

[Bang!]

He slightly shifted his body to the left to dodge the blade, then shrank back and struck his opponent's chest with his right palm, causing him to scream and vomit blood as he flew backward, crashing into several pirates.

The next moment, he bent his knees and leaned to the side, dodging the sweeping attack. Then, like a spring, he leaped up and shot his ten fingers out in all directions.

"Shigan - Seed Machine Gun!"

Suddenly, a fierce wind surged, tearing through the rain curtain. Streaks of light green light exploded in the crowd, shattering steel blades and bullets that were slashing at them with a clanging sound, accompanied by splashes of bright blood and muffled sounds of flesh breaking.

That wasn't all. Vidal fought and advanced, completely transforming into a ruthless killing machine, fully enjoying his first battlefield experience.

"Rankyaku - Flying Leaf Storm!"

He gathered his strength in his legs, and the immense power of his legs swept across like a thousand-pound steel blade, instantly forming a whirlwind of countless green blades.

This whirlwind was like a giant meat grinder, sweeping through a dozen layers of human flesh walls, with countless drops of blood and screams echoing through the sky.

This Flying Leaf Storm is an upgraded version of the Flying Leaf Quick Blade!

Similar to Roronoa Zoro's Three-Sword Style: Tornado!

At this moment, Vidal unleashed his physical prowess and Haki, experiencing the boundless thrill of single-handedly slaughtering an entire army.

"So this is what they call 'dancing'?"

Surrounded by death and blood, Vidal went on a killing spree while carefully savoring this strange feeling.
