Twisted Fury, Lost Original Resolve

"'World Destroyer' Bond Walter?"

"It's Bondi World ..." Roman rubbed his temples and looked at Luffy, who was chewing with a mouthful of meat in his mouth, his cheeks Luffy.

"Do you remember 'Blackbeard' Teach, whom we met in Impel Down?"

!

Under Luffy's serious gaze, Roman explained the cause and effect:

"The reason that guy went to Impel Down was to release the powerful individuals imprisoned on Level 6 as his subordinates. —At the same time, he also released some even stronger and more dangerous individuals, whom Blackbeard wasn't confident he could subdue. So..."

These experts then went to the high seas and began to stir up trouble.

"Is this World very strong?"

Roman nodded in response to Luffy's question.

"Very strong!"

"His greatest strength is his destructive power. The More-More Fruit can easily amplify his attacks, making the bullets in his hands comparable to heavy artillery! It can make the shells flatten the island."

Of course, only those small islands.

Wow, that's amazing?

"Not only that, as far as I know, his Observation Haki and Armament Haki are extremely proficient. He also possesses practical skills like 'Shave' and 'Geppo.' — If he hadn't been frozen for thirty years, he would definitely be at the level of Admiral!"

Currently, while his destructive power is comparable to the Three Admirals, his Haki and physical condition...

In the original work, he was out of breath after only a few minutes of fighting Luffy, which is really unbecoming of his burly and muscular image.

"Originally, he had no dealings with us, but now, due to manpower issues, the Navy has decided to summon the Shichibukai to deal with him. And after learning of the Navy's plan, Bondi World decided to strike first."

"Use a Shichibukai as a hostage to approach the Red Line, then blast the Holy Land Mary Geoise away with a single shot! Teach the Navy and the World Government a lesson."

"And those he chose as his targets,"

Roman pointed to the 'Perfume Serpent' anchored on the sea outside the forest—it was none other than 'Empress' Boa Hancock!

"That won't do!"

Luffy stood up and patted his blue jeans.

"Hammok has helped me a lot, and I will never let that guy named Walter take her away."

"While your current look and presence are quite impressive,... it's 'Hancock' and 'World'... never mind, those are minor issues. The problem we need to address now is:"

When will that World appear?

Splash—

Speak of the devil, and he appears! Just as Roman was explaining to Luffy the 'World Destroyer' was, the seawater suddenly 'bulged' up, and a huge 'warship' rose from the water.

This is less a warship and more a small island: lush with vegetation, where technology and primitiveness blend seamlessly. It makes this warship, or submarine, named 'Gurosyadi', look more like a relaxing resort than a weapon.

In fact, this is indeed a submarine that can be used for vacations: the officers of the 'Wald Pirates' who built this ship plan to use it to avoid unnecessary enemies and then happily travel around the world.

Of course, if we ignore that giant cannon standing at a 30-degree angle pointing skyward!

That was something their captain requested to be added.

"Hooray~~ So this is the Kuja Pirates?"

The burly man, over four meters tall and wearing a helmet with a missing corner, looked at the red Fujian boat being towed by two snakes not far away, his disdain evident in his words.

"A bunch of women?"

"The World Government is becoming more and more degenerate, actually letting a woman be one of the 'Shichibukai'."

Brush--

Just then, three figures leaped from the nearby island onto the Perfume Serpent, causing World's pupils to shrink!

"Navy!!"

Gritting his teeth, World glared at Roman, who was wearing an admiral's coat, Nami, who was wearing a colonel's coat. As for Luffy, he had already ignored him because:

"These cowards! Are they willing to team up with pirates again just to deal with me?"

After speaking, the burly man in the helmet turned his head slightly, his unfriendly gaze falling on the other crew members.

"You--"

"Could it be that they've already been bought off by the World Government?"

The scene was familiar, the script was familiar, so familiar that World felt like it was that day thirty years ago. —At the crucial moment when the Navy and pirates had joined forces against him, his subordinates suddenly betrayed him en masse...

!

"Boss, what are you saying..."

"We've been on the ship the whole time, how could we possibly have had a chance to make contact—"

"Yes, yes, we've always been fighting for you!"

"No, think about it carefully."

However, the burly man in the helmet just kept talking to himself.

"Perhaps you were actually agents of the World Government before you were recruited onto the ship."

?!

"Hooray~~ This ship only needs a few people to sail away, so it seems we don't need you useless bunch..."

"Boss? What exactly do you mean?!"

"What I mean,"

The helmeted giant's fierce gaze swept across the area, instantly sending chills down the spines of the surrounding pirates! Their survival instincts made them instinctively take a large step back, but this action didn't escape World's notice:

"Hooray~~ What, you've already given yourself away so quickly?"

"I... we..."

The pirates might think, "Isn't it normal for a bunch of 'ordinary people' to feel intimidated by your Haki?" But to the suspicious World, this was already solid evidence.

"Traitor!"

With a flick of his fingers, the three fist-sized 'walnuts' he was playing with shattered with a crash.

"Boss, what are you doing?!"

"Boss! We fought to the death for you too..."

You can't do this—

"I don't need trash and traitors."

The burly man in the helmet casually scattered the walnut fragments in his hand.

"Momo-20x shotgun!"

In an instant, the walnut fragments, accelerated to a terrifying speed by the Devil Fruit's power, swept towards the pirates like cannonballs! At the same time, these fragments were also rapidly 'growing larger,' transforming into sharp, deadly weapons the size of human heads.

Puff puff puff puff!

Huge fragments, carrying terrifying mass and speed, shot out in all directions with a piercing whistle. Several pirates who were slightly closer were instantly cut and torn to shreds by the fragments, their blood and entrails covering the deck.

Even so, the debris showed no sign of slowing down! Like being bombarded at close range by a dozen shotguns, all the pirates on the deck were instantly reduced to corpses. This caused the old man sitting on World's shoulder to cough violently.

"What's wrong, Bin Jack?"

The old man, known as Bin Jack and also wearing a horned helmet, shook his head.

"World, I've learned my lesson. This time, none of the recruits have World Government agents, and—"

The frail old man, hooked up to an IV drip, looked at the corpses scattered on the deck. Though these men were scum who only knew how to burn, kill, and loot, they were still his comrades...

"If any of them were agents of the World Government, they would have dodged your attack long ago."

"Hooray, so you're saying I was wrong?"

The helmeted giant's cold gaze fell on the old man on his shoulder, bloodshot eyes and murderous intent spreading in his pupils.

"As the captain, I was wrong?!"

"Is that what you mean, Bin Jack -brother!"

Faced with the rising murderous intent and rage emanating from his younger brother, the frail old man closed his eyes and coughed. Looking back now, perhaps back then...

It would be better if we died together at the hands of World Government agents.

"Captain, First Mate."

Just then, three figures walked in and volunteered.

"They're just a mere Shichibukai and two Marines. There's no need for the captain to lift a finger. Leave it to us!"

Gayiram 'shipwright'. Devil Fruit user, which allows him to turn everything he touches into squares, and he can even compress air into squares to use as an air cannon.

Yes, it's similar to the move the Kuma used. — Of course, compared to the Kuma compressing the air of an entire square, Gayiram can only compress the air in the small area between his hands... which is negligible.

"Leave it to us. I've done much more than just build this ship over the years."

Beside her was an old woman, Nacery, the "ship's doctor," wearing a long white coat, ill-fitting high heels, and lipstick. She was skilled at incorporating various medicines into her attacks and had created her own "Chinese Medicine Fist Technique."

Moreover, she has a trick to use the effects of her homemade drugs to return to her youth! Not only does she have a curvaceous figure, but she can also regain her peak strength and speed—a drug-based version of 'Combat Fist'.

"Hehehe, I put in a lot of effort to collect the materials for this ship. Don't try to take all the credit, Gayiram ~~"

"You all should say less,"

The last tall figure, wearing sunglasses and a suit, was... the Fish Giant Sebastian.

He is a hybrid of giant and Fish-Man, possessing the strength of a giant and the affinity and agility of Fish-Man. Unlike the simpleton "Big Bread" of the Fox Pirates, this Fish Giant named Sebastian also possesses a calm mind and considerable martial arts skills.

"Don't let those ants bother the captain, we'll take care of them!"

"Very good,"

Facing these three former cadres, World simply nodded indifferently.

Five minutes!

"I'll give you five minutes to take care of that Shichibukai and the Marines, is that enough?"

"Just wait and see!" X3

As the three remaining officers of the former 'Wald Pirates' stepped out of the cabin, Bin Jack, perched on World's shoulder, sighed silently.

World... my brother,

Why have you forgotten our dreams?

Didn't we go out to sea to travel the world and see different islands and people?

"We are the Dibong Brothers," the old man recalled his younger brother, who had once protected him from thugs, pirates, and even the navy when he was frail and sickly. "No one can stop us, or I'll tear them to pieces!"

The more you fight, the stronger you become!

The more powerful you are, the less satisfied you become!

In the end, the once innocent and cheerful younger brother transformed into a ruthless and vicious Great Pirates...

Without power, we cannot continue our voyage; yet the more we pursue power, the more we completely forget our original intentions. World, my brother, how can I possibly help you...?
