I'm a Pirate, After All

"Hateful!"

Facing the grinning face of Jesus Burgess...

Onigumo gritted his teeth and spoke out in resentment. He, a dignified Marine Vice Admiral, was actually no match for a pirate.

This is utterly disgraceful!

Onigumo considered himself someone who had once captured an enemy like Marco.

Now that he's been forced into a disadvantageous position by a pirate of Jesus Burgess's caliber, he wonders if his abilities have declined over the years.

Otherwise!

How could such a thing happen?

But in fact...

He wasn't the only one feeling pressured.

"What's wrong, Lieutenant General Smoker? You seem to be having a lot of trouble!"

Jiumu swung his broadsword, slashing at Smoker's Jitte, and grinned.

A tall stature brings great strength.

The abilities of Zoan Devil Fruits grant superhuman defense and exceptional physical strength.

Even though Smoker is not the same as before, he still felt very strained.

After all, they were once among the Six Soaring Stars, and their strength should not be underestimated.

"Drake, you traitor!"

Page One Cleef has always been resentful that Drake is a Navy spy.

I won't let Drake get away with this!

She always manages to get on his good side!

And Ultti, Foz F, Dogus...

Ultti violently collided with the Momonga, making the Momonga feel very uncomfortable.

Ultti's attack was too intense and ferocious.

Its strength is astonishing!

This is even more serious than dealing with Empress Boa Hancock back then.

Accidentally...

It's the result of being hit so hard that all the bones in my body are broken.

The Momonga started...

Because he underestimated Ultti, he had two ribs broken.

Akainu was probably the most relaxed of all the lieutenant generals!

His opponent Dogus, may be no less powerful than Ultti and Jiumu.

But he wasn't as ferocious as these people!

It wasn't too difficult to deal with.

Not far behind him, the saber-toothed tiger Foz F was engaged in a frenzied Taijutsu battle with Dalmatian.

Foz F was once a member of CP9, and he was extremely skilled in the Six Powers.

Just like a carbon copy of Rob Lucci!

Exceptionally powerful!

Meanwhile, Rob Lucci, the World Government reinforcements who were in a berserk clash with Fire Fist Ace, naturally also noticed Foz F, a former CP9 senior.

But...

He dared not let his attention wander too much!

After all, his opponent was Fire Fist Ace, so he didn't dare to be careless!

He was once defeated by his younger brother Straw Hat Luffy, on Enies Lobby.

Rob Lucci was deeply ashamed!

He swore...

We absolutely cannot lose to anyone again!

Therefore...

In all future battles, he will no longer be careless.

He must never suffer such humiliation again!

Only...

"Pfft!"

With a whoosh...

A Fierce Shadow flashed past Rob Lucci, leaving behind a trail of beautiful petals and crimson blood.

Rob Lucci's pupils contracted involuntarily, then he roared angrily, "You bastard!"

But not far behind him, Vista, grinned and said, "What's wrong, Mr. Rob Lucci? Why are you so angry?"

"You're probably thinking, 'How can someone like me resort to sneak attacks? Don't you feel ashamed?'"

Rob Lucci's eyes gleamed; he had clearly been right!

Vista the Vista couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, "Come on, I'm a pirate. Isn't it normal for pirates to launch sneak attacks?"

"Don't accuse me of being despicable. It's perfectly normal to use this tactic against a strong opponent like you, isn't it?"

"Just like how you treated Dad back then!"
