"I have accomplished my purpose for this trip. Since the two leaders have things to discuss, I will take my leave now."
Luo has learned about the aftermath of the Sabaody Archipelago through newspapers and other inquiries.
Ulquiorra, the head of the pirate crew, actually killed several pirates who, like himself, were known as members of the Worst Generation.
Looking back, it's the Miracle that I was able to leave there alive.
Furthermore, according to the latest newspaper report published by News Coo yesterday, Luo Ke did not want to try to confront such a newly crowned emperor of the sea at this time.
He gripped the hilt of the knife with one hand, his attention highly focused, while a small spatial vortex formed beneath his palm and rapidly spread.
"ROOM: Shambles!"
Along with its companions and the box, it vanished from everyone's sight in an instant, leaving only a few small pebbles on the ground.
"Disappeared? No, that can't be!"
Ochoku only hesitated for a moment before discovering the clues. He drew his long sword from his waist and swung it in a certain direction, slicing up large areas of houses as if slicing a melon.
Luo, who was on the run, also noticed the terrifying sword energy and pushed his companions to barely dodge it.
The long line left on the ground, neatly drawn by the sword energy, still lingered in his mind.
"Kid, stay put until I'm done with my business!"
It is indeed a strange ability, but as long as it is within the range of his Observation Haki, it is under his control.
If I let this new generation brat escape from my headquarters with the hearts of my subordinates, where will I put my face?
If word gets out, those old guys will laugh themselves to death!
Ochoku's gaze remained fixed on Cifer; the real trouble now lay with this man.
"So, what is your purpose in coming here, Ulquiorra Cifer?"
He had heard of this man's ways, but he never expected him to end up here after entering the New World. He was likely an enemy rather than a friend.
"Dead people don't need to know too much."
Cifer spoke calmly, found a comfortable spot to sit down, crossed his legs, and seemed to be waiting for the show to begin.
A remnant of the old era is not someone Cifer needs to personally deal with, nor does he have the face to do so.
"You bastard..."
Ochoku was annoyed that the other party was so disrespectful and showed no regard for the fact that this was his territory.
"Divine Judgment!"
But before he could finish speaking, a massive bolt of lightning was already hurtling toward him.
Ochoku hurriedly dodged, and the pirates behind him all died under this attack.
At that moment, Enel calmly walked up to him, carrying the Golden Tonfa on his shoulders.
"The Mad Pirates are just the Mad Pirates! How dare they humiliate me like this!"
Looking at the leisurely Cifer and Enel in front of him, Ochoku felt a surge of nameless rage.
He was a legendary pirate, and if he were to fight, it should be that bastard. But the bastard didn't even give him a second glance and just sent one of his subordinates to fight.
Since Captain Rocks' death, no one has ever suffered such humiliation.
"Kid, don't wait until you're dead to regret it!"
Ochoku looked down at Enel, and suddenly swung his greatsword, aiming for the latter's head.
"Clang!"
A powerful Armament Haki wrapped around the golden staff, easily blocking the attack.
"Lightning Metallurgy - Thunder God's Halberd!"
Enel exerted his power, forcing Ochoku back, and the heat in his hand melted the stick and then condensed it into a halberd.
The two began to clash, their immense power causing the surrounding environment to continuously collapse.
"Admiral Ochoku!"
His men, a group of elite soldiers whose hearts had been taken away, had recovered by now and were anxiously watching the tense battle.
"Damn it... Let's go capture hostages! Get the Navy's help!"
The pirates were extremely anxious, but then they came up with this ingenious idea.
They wouldn't dare to take action against Ulquiorra and his group, but capturing some civilians to threaten the navy might work.
After all, the other party is also a wanted criminal, and doing something is more useful than just standing around.
They brandished their swords and spears, charging towards the navy, for the civilians of Rocky Port were now behind them.
"Damn it... I will absolutely not let you succeed!"
Navy Lieutenant Commander Koby, with a forked scar on his forehead, raised his fists, ready to meet the enemy.
"Gravity Sword - Tiger Strike!"
Just then, Yi Sheng drew his sword from the Gambler's Fireline and swung it heavily towards the pirates.
The powerful wind pressure swept countless pirates into it, and large areas of houses were blasted to pieces at that moment.
After the thick smoke cleared, only a mess remained.
This was the first time in his life that he had truly made a move, and with just one strike, all the marines present stared wide-eyed, their jaws drooping to the ground.
"Is she that man's new companion? Impressive!"
Unlike the others, the man wielding the knife before them had no bounty on his head, yet his strength was undeniably striking.
The fear and suffocation he felt when he saw Ulquiorra while following behind Vice Admiral Garp seemed to surge back into his heart, and Koby's face was covered in cold sweat.
"From now on, this place will be my territory. Civilians who wish to stay may stay."
Seeing that the navy was about to take all the civilians away, Cifer spoke up.
It would be too boring to be on a huge island with only yourself and your companions.
"Major Koby! This..."
The sailors hesitated, because the civilians behind them were clearly tempted.
Although Hive is a place where there are more pirates than civilians, under Ochoku's management, they generally don't encounter any trouble.
After all, pirates also need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves; they also need to live normal lives.
If it weren't for this riot, and then, for some reason, the navy happened to arrive, they wouldn't want to leave their hometown.
"We must listen to the voices of ordinary people. Our duty is to protect and safeguard the voices of ordinary people."
Although reluctant, Koby gave his answer, instructing his men to let the common people choose for themselves.
On the battlefield at this moment, Enel and Ochoku had already exchanged hundreds of blows, and the latter was completely at a disadvantage, with wounds all over his body.
On the other hand, Enel didn't have a single wound on his body, and the expression on his face showed that he had fought to his heart's content.
Ochoku was panting heavily as he struggled to defend against the opponent's attack.
From initially being able to barely keep up with the opponent's speed, to gradually falling behind, and now experiencing a gradual decline in physical strength.
Ochoku witnessed the terrifying nature of this mad pirate crew. If they continued to develop, they would surely become figures like Rocks in the future.
The humiliation of being looked down upon had vanished; he even felt that he should have left as soon as he sensed their arrival.
Is saving face more important than life?
"Wait! We're not fighting anymore!"
After being knocked away by Enel once again, Ochoku waved his hand and shouted that he didn't want to fight any more pointlessly.
"If you want the beehive, then you can have it!"
The exaggerated heaving of his chest testified to the difficulty of his battle with Enel.
