Crocodile fled back to Cross Guild headquarters!

Haku always thought it was a terrible waste to give the More-More Fruit to Byrnndi World!

The enhancement ability of this Devil Fruit is practically a bug in the system.

If it were in the hands of someone like Haku or Garp, whose pure physical abilities are unparalleled, the power it could unleash would be simply invincible!

Haku was confident in her body, which had been blessed by the Heaven and Curse, and with the added Devil Fruit ability.

He was confident that he could easily blast an island to pieces!

"So, this Devil Fruit was prepared for me?" Gion asked, looking at the Devil Fruit in Haku's hand.

Gion showed no aversion to the More-More Fruit that Haku offered him.

She was one of the few swordswomen in the navy, and also one of the Admiral candidate.

Gion has naturally come into contact with quite a few Devil Fruit!

Given her contributions to the Navy, it would be incredibly easy for her to obtain a Devil Fruit to enhance her strength!

However, she had been immersed in Swordsmanship for many years.

The fighting style has long been fixed!

Therefore, finding a Devil Fruit that can both enhance her strength and not interfere with her cultivation of Swordsmanship is indeed quite difficult.

However, Haku has now brought her a Devil Fruit, and she has learned about Devil Fruit, and it just so happens to be her favorite Devil Fruit!

How could this not surprise her!

Haku noticed the fleeting excitement in Gion's eyes.

He smiled and shoved the Devil Fruit into the other person's hand!

"Alright, you can experiment with this Devil Fruit when you get back! I have some things to do, so I won't be going back with you."

Hearing Haku say this, Gion knew that Haku had her own things to do.

She stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, and gently kissed Haku on the lips.

Originally, Gion's kiss was simply to express that she would wait for him to return, and also to leave a deep impression on him.

This is to show Haku that she shouldn't forget her!

However, Haku is not the kind of person who is honest and straightforward!

As he kissed Gion, he suddenly pulled Gion completely into his arms.

This kiss was like dry tinder igniting a raging fire.

If it weren't for a bunch of third wheels around, Haku might have dared to take it a step further.

"Waaaaah! Bastard, I want to kill that bastard!"

"Ah! My goddess, she's been stolen away."

"Damn it, when will this bastard ever stop! I'm so envious."

A group of sailors let out a series of Kikoku.

Just as Gion was starting to get into the zone, she suddenly snapped back to reality after hearing the howls of the wolves.

She tried to get out, but Haku held her tightly in her arms, preventing her from moving.

Moreover, she could clearly feel Haku's hands becoming increasingly restless, almost crossing the line.

Gion's eyes narrowed slightly, a hardening thought forming in his mind.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"

As Haku stuck her tongue into Gion's mouth, he suddenly bit her tongue hard.

Knowing Haku's amazing recovery ability, Gion didn't hold back much.

As Haku's arms loosened, Gion, her face burning, broke free from Haku's embrace.

After breaking free, Gion's cheeks flushed, her eyes filled with both embarrassment and anger. She glared at Haku, her eyes seeming to say, "See if you dare to be so presumptuous next time."

She then quickly tidied her appearance, trying to regain her usual calm and dignity.

Seeing this, the surrounding naval soldiers quieted down, some chuckling to themselves, others wearing expressions of envy but not daring to speak. A subtle awkwardness and ambiguity filled the air.

Haku felt the slight pain in her tongue from being bitten, but a playful smile appeared on her lips.

He knew Gion's personality well, and this action, far from angering him, made him find it even more amusing and endearing. He gently shook his head and said to Gion, "Alright, stop fooling around. It's getting late; we need to get you home quickly."

Gion gave a soft hum, but the smile in her eyes betrayed that she wasn't as angry as she appeared.

She carefully took the Devil Fruit and gently placed it in her bosom, as if it were her most precious treasure.

Then, she gave Haku a deep look, waiting for Haku to pass on her message.

"Haku, I will wait for you to come back, no matter how long it takes." Gion's voice was gentle yet firm; her words were like a warm current, warming Haku's heart.

A bright light flashed by, and Haku watched Gion's disappearing figure, a feeling she couldn't quite describe welling up inside her.

"Alright, it's time to go have some fun at the Cross Guild!" Haku said seriously.

When Haku uttered those words, she once again became the overlord who looked down upon the entire maritime world!

His black coat fluttered even without wind, and in the next instant, Haku vanished from the spot.

During the time Haku was on the island!

Crocodile rode the sandstorm, rapidly approaching the headquarters of the Cross Guild.

Fortunately, he was very close to the headquarters of the Cross Guild, so he was able to approach his base camp regardless of the physical exertion.

"Damn it! Wasn't that guy supposed to be in New Marineford? Why is he here?"

"Could it be because of that woman?"

Filled with fear Crocodile just wanted to get back to his base as quickly as possible, as if only there could he find some peace of mind.

"Huh? Is that a sandstorm over the sea?"

"Are you kidding me? How can there be a sandstorm on the Sea... What's going on?!"

By the time they realized what was happening, Crocodile had already stormed into the Cross Guild.

The sandstorm he stirred up when he ran back from outside had already whipped up a lot of seawater, forming a powerful waterspout.

"What happened? Weren't you chasing after the enemy? How did you end up in such a sorry state?"

Hawk Eyes noticed that Crocodile's return was done in a very strange way!

Crocodile said irritably, "If I encountered someone I didn't want to mess with, I wouldn't even hesitate to sneak back alone."

Hawk Eyes was slightly stunned; he didn't know who could frighten Crocodile like this.

"Damn it! Crocodile, what's wrong with you? Why did you come back and cause such a commotion? A lot of my packages are soaked now."

Upon learning that many goods at the Harbor had been soaked by water, Buggy the Clown couldn't help but run up to Crocodile and confront him.

Hawk Eyes and Crocodile both ignored Buggy!

This made Buggy somewhat angry and embarrassed, feeling that being ignored had made him lose face in every way.

Hawk Eyes's eyes remained fixed on Crocodile, as if trying to determine who the other person was.
