Flowing Cloud Punishment

Roy released his right hand and, in the instant Hac gasped for breath as if saved, punched him in the stomach.

Hac crashed into the ground like a cannonball, kicking up a cloud of dust. Roy walked expressionlessly to Sabo was still clutching his head and groaning.

Seeing Roy walk step by step toward Sabo, Koala finally overcame her inner fears under the power of "love".

"Damn it, what do you think you're doing to Sabo?" Koala attacked Roy, adopting Fish-Man Karate stance.

"Koala, no..." Sabo heard Koala's cry, and forced open his eyes despite the throbbing pain in his brain, only to see a scene that made his eyes widen in horror.

Koala, who was the weakest of the four, was no match for Roy. With a single kick from Roy, who showed no mercy, she pierced through four or five tall buildings before finally stopping and being buried under the ruins.

"Aaaaaah... I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!" Sabo was so angry that all the hair on his body stood on end, and with his blond hair, he was practically in Super Saiyan mode.

"Hmm... a power surge?" Roy was unmoved. A power surge is essentially about squeezing out and exhausting one's potential and vitality under extreme emotions. But the human body's potential is ultimately limited. In Sabo's current state, it would be good if he could unleash two to three times the power of his prime. "Unfortunately, the gap between you and me is more than a hundred times greater."

Enraged to the extreme, Sabo had lost all reason. Armament Haki enveloped his right hand, and he shattered the ground like a spring, unleashing his ultimate speed. "Dragon Hook Claw!"

Faced with Sabo's ferocious claw strike, Roy seemed not to have reacted at all. He neither dodged nor avoided the attack. Only when the violent force of the punch was about to hit Sabo's face did Roy grab Sabo's wrist with lightning speed, press down, and slam Sabo into the ground.

"Is this the captain's power?" Cavendish quickly got into the zone, and when he saw Roy's power, he couldn't hide his shock and swallowed hard. He finally understood why the unbridled inner personality acted as if it had encountered its natural enemy after meeting Roy.

"This is just the tip of the Iceberg of the captain's strength." Harvey, who had always been a newbie, sighed inwardly. He had finally shed his newbie status and was beginning to enjoy the feeling of teaching a newbie as a veteran. "Believe me, witnessing the captain's full strength will definitely not be a pleasant thing, because you will first have to learn how to survive when the island beneath your feet completely collapses."

"Are you kidding me? Sink an island? Is that something a human can do?" Cavendish's lips twitched weakly. After all, in his opinion, Roy's ability to casually shatter the earth was already terrifying enough.

"It's alright, you'll get used to these little things." Harvey gave him a mournful look.

Roy effortlessly pulled Sabo out. Sabo, who had been easily defeated by Roy, had already exited his superhuman state and was staring blankly. "Why... did this happen?"

"Because... weakness is the original sin!" Roy lifted Sabo high and said indifferently.

"Ahem, Lord Roy, please forgive Sabo's impulsiveness for the sake of our Revolutionary Army allies," Hac, barely alive, struggled to his feet and said with incredible willpower.

Hac wasn't entirely sure either. After all, their so-called alliance was just a transaction that couldn't be simpler, and then Roy disappeared for two years. Who knew if the other party even remembered the alliance?

"Huh? Aren't we pirates? How come we're allied with the Revolutionary Army? Does our captain have such a big reputation?" The newbie Cavendish looked at the big shot next to him with curious and eager eyes.

Harvey looked slightly embarrassed. He had only been on board for a month or two and was still unaware of many inside stories. However, he didn't want to lose his seniority in front of the newbies, so he vaguely replied, "Well... you know this kind of thing, don't ask too many questions."

"You are... the Revolutionary Army?"

Seeing Roy stop moving, Hac was overjoyed and hurriedly nodded. "Yes, I am Haku, Senior Executive of the Revolutionary Army and the head instructor of Fish-Man Karate Hac. The two of them are also officers of the Revolutionary Army."

"Since you know about our relationship with the Revolutionary Army, you still dare to interfere in my affairs and injure my crew. Do you think I wouldn't dare to kill anyone?" With that, Roy slammed Sabo, who was holding high in the air, into the ground again, causing the earth to tremble.

Hac's eyes were bloodshot with rage, and he wanted nothing more than to rush up and fight Roy to the death, but reason prevailed in the end. He lowered his head and said, "It's all my fault. I didn't tell Sabo and Koala about you, so they had no idea about your alliance with the Revolutionary Army. Ignorance is no excuse. I'm willing to pay with my life to apologize to the few officers under your command. I hope you will be lenient and let them go this time."

Roy remained calm and composed. Although the Revolutionary Army was powerful, he was not afraid of them at all. Moreover, the Revolutionary Army was already struggling under the increasing pressure from the World Government's encirclement and suppression efforts. If he were to add fuel to the fire, the future landscape would be completely rewritten.

"Bring this ring to Long, if... you can see him alive." Roy casually threw out a ring with the word "green" engraved on it, with a faint tone.

Hac hurriedly caught it, his joy evident, but upon hearing Roy's next words, his expression faltered, and he asked with a forced laugh, "What do you mean by that?"

"Did you know that there is a punishment called the Drifting Cloud Punishment'? It involves exiling a person to the Cloud Sea, where they will drift in eternal solitude until they die."

Hac looked completely bewildered. Shouldn't being exiled to the Cloud Sea mean falling to your death? But he wisely didn't ask any more questions.

"If the Flowing Cloud Punishment is simply being exiled to the sea, then with you, a Fish-Man, it would be an incredibly easy matter." Roy narrowed his eyes slightly. "Therefore, I will beat you all to the point of near death before exiling you to the sea. That way, whether you live or die will be left to fate to decide!"

Hac was horrified. The ocean was vast and boundless. If they didn't receive treatment while they were seriously injured, they probably wouldn't survive for long. Not to mention, in the waters of this New World, most of the people they would encounter were vicious pirates. Falling into their hands would almost certainly end badly.

"Wait a minute..." Hac was still thinking of trying to persuade them.

Roy, however, had no intention of giving him time to explain. An invisible force slammed into Hac's chest, causing him to spit blood and crash heavily to the ground, losing consciousness.

"Throw the three of them onto a plank and let them drift away into the sea to fend for themselves," Roy ordered indifferently to those around him.
