Haki's protection!
When Kinoshita Kamakura could no longer scream, all the attacks ceased.
But his twin swords were broken, his red armor was tattered and incomplete, and there were countless broken bones all over his body. Bruises and swellings were visible everywhere, his eyes were dim, and a large amount of blood was constantly dripping from his body.
At this moment, he was held in the palm of a 'Nefer-Tum’s Hand' and slowly brought to Vidal's front.
The pirates who noticed this began to panic, while the morale of the Navy soared!
"Base Commander"
At this moment, Brigadier General Eller arrived, his gaze towards Vidal filled with admiration.
How is the injury?
Vidal's attention shifted from the unconscious Kinoshita Kamakura to Brigadier General Eller.
"I just ate two mung beans, and I feel much better now. I'll go see a doctor later!" Brigadier General Eller said with a smile, clutching his chest.
Vidal nodded, then glanced around the arena and found that most of the fighting had already ended.
After considering for about two seconds, he lightly stomped his right boot on the ground, and a light green halo appeared immediately.
The next second, a green light swept outwards in a ring, and in the area it swept over, a large number of herbs grew at a visible speed. If you looked closely, you could see that each blade of grass was shimmering with a faint light.
"This is."
Brigadier General Eller watched in astonishment as the green grass grew further up from his feet, then wrapped tightly around his legs, emitting an even more pronounced green light after a moment. Instantly, he felt the pain in his body quickly subside in a warm sensation.
He wasn't the only one; all the naval personnel in the port area received treatment.
The injuries of the seriously injured stopped worsening and even received some relief. The wounds of the lightly injured were slowly healing. Even those who were not injured but were just exhausted found their breathing calmed and their muscle soreness subsided with the help of the green grass.
The most interesting thing is that even though those pirates were standing or lying in the herbaceous area, not a single blade of grass grew to heal them. To them, those blades of grass were truly just grass.
Such an astonishing situation caused all the marines who had just experienced a fierce battle to focus their attention on Vidal, their eyes filled with admiration and fanaticism!
Even disregarding Vidal's various identities, achievements, and accolades, as a soldier, this kind of commander, who is not only strong enough to lead them to victory but also able to heal their wounds and ensure their survival to the greatest extent possible, can only be described as perfect!
Meanwhile, this scene was also observed by many forces secretly watching from the sidelines.
They had gained a better understanding of this newly promoted naval Admiral Candidate nicknamed "Ryokugyu." Capable of maneuvering large numbers of ships and providing extensive medical care to his own troops, he was practically a war monster.
"I'll take this guy back first. You direct the men to clean up the scene, and get all of the Flying Pirates' cargo ships to the base port." Under the spotlight, Vidar naturally gave the order to Commodore Eller.
"Yes--!"
Commodore Eller responded loudly, his admiration mirroring that of the other marines.
"Yes, that's good."
After saying this, the colors on Vidal's body gradually faded, turning into a piece of wood that sank into the ground and disappeared without a trace. The giant hand called 'Nefer-Tum’s Hand' also grabbed Kinoshita Kamakura and quickly sank away.
Not long after, Vidal reappeared in the office, then plopped back into the comfortable recliner, crossed his legs, and Kinoshita Kamakura, who was trapped in the tree.
"Now that you're awake, stop pretending. I already gave you some basic treatment on the way here; it would be difficult for you to fall unconscious now."
However, Kinoshita Kamakura kept his eyes closed, which made Vidal raise an eyebrow in displeasure.
"Ah!!"
Kinoshita Kamakura was in the tree, suddenly opened his eyes and screamed. However, apart from his facial organs, he could not move any other part of his body. But he could still clearly feel the pain of something piercing his limbs.
As Vidal watched the other person groan, he calmly began to speak.
"Now that you're awake, let's get down to business. As the head of the Flying Pirates responsible for finances in the first half of the Grand Line, you should know the locations of all the assets and bases very well. If you can honestly list them all out, I can decide to put you in a regular prison."
Kinoshita Kamakura, enduring the excruciating pain, grinned coldly and said, "Heh--, I knew it. After all, this is all the value I have left."
"So your answer is a refusal?" Vidal asked.
"No, I agree, but only if you can guarantee you'll keep your word." Kinoshita Kamakura had absolutely no intention of being loyal to Shiki.
"Hehe."
Vidal inexplicably laughed, then proceeded to utter one noun after another, even picking up a pen from the table and writing on a piece of paper as he spoke.
Route 3: Mostin Island; Route 5 Turku Island; Route 2: Potter Kingdom; Route 6:
With each place he mentioned, Kinoshita Kamakura's blood-stained face grew increasingly grim; his pupils trembled, his mouth agape but unable to utter a word, his expression one of utter terror as if he had seen a ghost.
Ten minutes later, Vidal stopped talking, and in front of him was a piece of white paper covered with place names. The entire office fell into a long silence. After a moment, Kinoshita Kamakura raised his head through gritted teeth.
"Why?"
"What you want to ask is why I know all this?" Vidal laughed.
"Right!"
"Well, just consider it my special ability, I won't say more."
In fact, the reason why Vidal treated Kinoshita Kamakura and spent so much time talking to him was to use his newly Awakening Observation Haki.
After coming into contact with the roots of the Sunlight Tree Eve above Fish-Man Island, he gained a magical ability to Knowing the Past. However, he discovered that he couldn't see anything when Kinoshita Kamakura was unconscious, so he had to help him recover and at least ensure that he was conscious.
In just a few short minutes of conversation, Vidal had witnessed the entire process of the other Flying Pirates, and he had no interest in the memories from before.
However, one thing bothered him: when he entered Kinoshita Kamakura's consciousness, he clearly felt some resistance, like a thin wall.
Although he broke through the 'wall' almost instantly, it was something he should pay attention to.
"Wait! Wait, I still have information to share, really, no! Don't—!"
While Vidal was deep in thought, he completely ignored Kinoshita Kamakura's frantic pleas for mercy and manipulated the tree trunk on his body to slowly sink into the ground. This time, it was not to move him to another location, but to slowly turn him into nutrients for the Sabaody Archipelago.
"Haki originates from the power of will. The stronger a person's Haki aura and the more resolute their will, the stronger their mental defenses will be." The murmured voice gently echoed in the office.
