It finally came!
"Does that sound so smug?" Garp said, staring at Haku.
Haku coughed lightly. "Don't go too far. I even saved you today. Do you want to repay kindness with enmity?"
Garp gave the other person a light tap on the head and said, "What? You can't?"
"Well, all that damage was for nothing!" Haku said helplessly.
Aokiji asked, "What's the last part?"
Haku stopped smiling and said, "Vegapunk admits to committing two sins: first, violating the laws of nature by creating infinite energy (i. e., the 'Mother Seed'); and second, violating government laws by researching Void Century. He deeply regrets these actions and believes that it is unforgivable that his research has been used to create tragedies that have led to widespread suffering."
Haku's words echoed heavily in the air, causing everyone present to fall into deep thought.
"It seems Dr. Vegapunk was truly a contradictory person," Aokiji said slowly, his tone tinged with admiration and regret. "He was both a great scientist, pursuing mysteries untouched by humankind, and a man burdened with heavy guilt, whose research inadvertently triggered a tremendous disaster."
"Yes, his wisdom and courage are admirable, but his choice has indeed brought irreversible consequences." Haku nodded in agreement, knowing full well that the power of science is a double-edged sword, capable of both illuminating the way forward and destroying everything.
"So what should we do now? Wait until this broadcast is over?" Aokiji asked.
Haku shook her head and said, "No need, I'll go join the fun later. Let's deal with this guy in my hands for now!"
Upon hearing this, Byrnndi World, who was initially thought to be unconscious, suddenly sprang to his senses, wanting to use his size advantage to win.
Snap!
A crisp sound!
Haku caught the incoming fist with her free hand!
Byrnndi World's eyes widened in shock. He knew that with his current strength combined with the power of the More-More Fruit, an ordinary person simply couldn't withstand such an attack!
Even if he encountered a more physically powerful ability user, he was confident that he could defeat them!
Byrnndi World could only see that his fist had been easily caught by someone else!
Bondi World felt an unprecedented shock and resentment. He tried to exert force again to break free from Haku's control, but the seemingly ordinary hand was like an iron clamp, completely immobile.
"Hmph, don't waste your energy." Haku smiled faintly, her tone brimming with undeniable confidence. "Your strength is indeed formidable, but in the face of absolute power, your mere brute force is insufficient to determine victory or defeat."
With that, Haku gave a gentle twist, and Bondi World's arm was instantly wracked with pain, forcing him to give up the fight. His face was filled with disbelief and frustration.
"What... what do you want to do!" Bondi World gasped, his eyes filled with both fear and hesitation.
Haku didn't answer directly, but turned to look at Aokiji and Garp. The two had already recovered from Haku's description of the Vegapunk incident and were now observing the situation with serious expressions.
Haku took out the Index Finger's Chain of Plunder in her System Space!
Byrnndi World's pupils contracted!
He knew about this thing because Haku had used the Index Finger's Chain of Plunder in front of a group of Criminals back in Impel Down!
"No! No! You can't do this! You can't steal my Devil Fruit power!" Byrnndi World began to struggle violently.
He slowly raised the Chain of Plunder in his hand, its silver bars gleaming ominously in the dim light. Ignoring Bondi World's struggles and pleas, he simply said, "This is the price you pay for your many evil deeds. The power of Devil Fruit should never have been used in the hands of people like you."
"Stop! I... I can tell you a secret! A secret about the world!" Bondi World desperately tried to find a last straw, his voice hoarse with fear.
Haku paused slightly, then shook her head, her eyes seeming to say that no secret could change her decision. "Secret? The secret you speak of is far too weak compared to the crimes you've committed. Besides, you probably don't know as many secrets as I do!"
With a flick of Haku's finger, the Chain of Plunder seemed to come alive, linking to Bondi World's wrist and instantly releasing a dazzling light.
Bondi World let out a heart-wrenching scream, his eyes filled with despair and resentment, but he was powerless to stop it from happening.
As the light faded, the Chain of Plunder returned to Haku's hands, while Bondi World's body appeared extremely weak due to the loss of his Devil Fruit powers, his once powerful giant hands now hanging limply at his sides.
"You... you..." Bondi World gasped for breath, and before he could finish speaking, he collapsed to the ground again due to exhaustion.
Garp and Aokiji showed no pity whatsoever for this Pirates!
Haku clasped her hands together, opened her domain, and threw the once-powerful Pirates into a white desert!
After dealing with Byrnndi World, Haku took out a strangely shaped Devil Fruit.
"It's a pity, I can't eat any more Devil Fruit. If this thing increases my strength, I'll probably have to leave this world," Haku said regretfully.
After he obtained the complete Hogyoku!
All the power within his body has been integrated, making Haku's strength a complete mystery.
If Haku were to go all out, he could indeed destroy this world!
The most significant change that the Hogyoku brought to Haku was that he became increasingly detached from the realm of humanity!
Of course, this is all thanks to the evolutionary power brought by the Hogyoku!
After Haku integrated his various abilities with the Hogyoku, he removed it.
After all, there are still people or things in this world that Haku cherishes!
If he continues to keep the Hogyoku on his person, he will probably be rejected by this world sooner or later.
While thinking, Haku put away the More-More Fruit in her hand.
This Devil Fruit certainly become one of Haku's collectibles.
Bulu Bulu Bulu! Blu-ray Bulu Bulu Bulu!
The Den Den Mushi is ringing!
Haku smiled and said, "It's finally here!"
Haku has been waiting for a call from someone, who is now heading to his next destination!

As I answered the phone, a voice came through. "The other party has been teleported!"
