An End Without Resolution! Weevil's Move!

"Kake!!!"

The surging flames blasted Zephyr away, who was using Geppo to stay airborne. As he was being blasted away, Zephyr screamed hoarsely.

"Teacher Zephyr!"

Aokiji had just been knocked away, returned and caught his teacher, whose eyes were brimming with tears.

He gritted his teeth, "This monster!!"

He wasn't even injured in the entire process, yet now he's the Kake killed Jiaji!

What kind of monster is this guy?!

As the flames subsided, Ian gently flapped his wings and landed, complaining slightly, "So, why didn't you just pretend you didn't see me? Why make things so awkward for everyone?"

Zephyr just stared at him blankly.

The Kake has vanished without a trace.

"Die! You bastard!!"

Roaring, Zephyr had completely lost his mind due to the death of his disciple and charged furiously at Ian.

"Teacher Zephyr!!"

Aokiji's expression changed.

Teacher Zephyr has completely lost his mind!

Facing an opponent like Ian, losing your temper will only lead to one outcome!

He rushed forward to help.

Ian floated leisurely in the sky, letting Zephyr punch through his skull in a fit of rage.

Guided by his Observation Haki, which allows him to Future Sight, he doesn't even need to fully enter Phoenix form. He only needs to transform the part of him that will be attacked into flames to be completely immune to all attacks from the two of them.

"How boring."

Ian said calmly.

In its Phoenix Form, it is immune to all frontal attacks, and its inherent resistance ignores all special abilities.

When one transforms into flames, one becomes virtually invincible.

"We've had enough fun."

Ian's right hand suddenly turned into a scarlet flame.

Aokiji's pupils suddenly contracted as he pursued him.

"Die."

Before Zephyr could even retract his fist, Ian had already punched him squarely in the chest.

This punch was meant to pierce through his body and destroy it completely.

"Teacher Zephyr!!"

Zephyr's body was knocked aside, Aokiji gritted his teeth and threw a punch to meet the attack.

The overwhelming Haki was immediately shattered, and the crimson fist covered in black patterns finally slammed into Aokiji's fist.

"Ughhhhh!!"

The Admiral of the Marine Headquarters screamed, his left fist radiating Haki as he withstood the Destruction Flame for a fleeting moment before vanishing into nothingness.

Then the fist began to disintegrate, followed by the forearm...

"Kuzan!!"

Zephyr, finally turning around, cried out in surprise and grabbed Kuzan, retreating rapidly.

Even so, only a small section of his left arm remained.

"Forehead!!"

Aokiji's face was pale and covered in sweat. "What an unreasonable ability!"

An extremely strong defense that is virtually impossible to hit.

An extreme attack power capable of destroying everything.

How can someone possess both abilities in one person? It's an absurd power!

"Kuzan! Are you alright?"

Zephyr looked anxious.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zephyr,"

Ian smiled and interjected, "Besides the destructive power, my flames also possess basic high temperatures, which incidentally helped Kuzan's bleeding."

Aokiji lowered his head; the lower half of his bald left upper arm was now charred.

It did stop the bleeding.

It even matches up with Teacher Zephyr.

"Alright, you two,"

Ian's Crimson Fire in his right hand changed shape, elongating into a crimson blade. "Time to die."

"..."

Below, Crocodile, watching this scene, had a drooping mouth and a dark, almost dripping gaze.

Is this bastard really that strong?

Even other Pirate Emperor couldn't possibly maintain such a dominant position when facing an attack from both a Marine Admiral and a former Admiral, could they?

To put it bluntly, it's like beating a dog!

On the ship next to them, Moria had ground several teeth to dust.

That brat is even stronger than he thought!

Oars, I'm afraid there's nothing he can do about it.

what to do?

How can I possibly defeat him?

Shiryu's eyes lit up as he looked on.

Really!

It's precisely these powerful individuals who are capable of turning the world upside down!

In the sky, the faces of the Admiral and the former Admiral were extremely grim.

what to do?

All attacks were ineffective against this guy.

On the contrary, if they were hit by this guy's sword, it would almost certainly mean their demise.

How exactly should we deal with such an opponent?

Even if the two of them joined forces, they were helpless!

unless--

"Ian!!"

The roar came from below.

Just as Ian was about to kill the two men, he lowered his head, and the Hero Garp strode in furiously, stepping on the air.

"Galaxy Impact!!"

A massive, Haki Shockwave crashed down.

Ian raised an eyebrow.

A quick glance down with Observation Haki revealed that Ryde had returned to their ship and was now sitting on the gunwale, panting heavily.

Senior Ryde, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you? Why are you suddenly unwilling to continue this entanglement at this moment?

wrong.

Perhaps it's not his fault.

Ian casually swung his sword.

The Sword of Destruction sliced through the Haki torrent with unparalleled smoothness, and the surging wind whipped up Ian's clothes.

The enraged Hero Garp was indeed someone that Senior Ryde couldn't handle. If he didn't run away soon, he might be beaten to death in a few punches.

On the ship below, Ryde leisurely wiped the blood from his face while gazing up at the sky.

Shiryu looked at him with some surprise.

Did this guy really get a beating from the Hero Garp?

Why does it feel like she's still smiling?

What is he thinking?

In the sky, Ian watched the approaching Hero Garp and couldn't help but sigh softly, "It seems today will have to end here."

This man is not as easy to bully as Aokiji and Zephyr.

Even if it's one against three, I won't come out on top.

Oh well, I've already got the fruit I wanted.

That's all for now.

As he spoke, flames erupted from beneath his wings, propelling Ian into the depths of the sky in an instant. He grabbed Surtur, who was waiting there, and then, without pausing, transformed into a shooting star and sped away in the direction he had come from.

"You brat!!"

Hero Garp was furious, but there was nothing he could do; how could he possibly keep up with Ian's speed?

Zephyr just stared blankly at Ian's departing figure, and Neusoft was plunged into unprecedented despair.

How can I possibly defeat a guy like that?

Just as Ian said, what he possesses is a power that only makes his enemies feel despair!

Even the World Government is his partner and continues to indulge him.

Teacher Zephyr...

Aokiji realized that his teacher was in a daze.

But for a moment, I didn't know how to comfort her.

Kake was killed right before his eyes.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop Ian at all.

"That's right! Gion!!"

Aokiji suddenly remembered something and exclaimed in panic, "Gion is still submerged in water!"

Vice Admiral Momousagi was initially hit by Ian's punch, which sent him crashing through the ice and into the sea. He hasn't been helped up yet.

"Yes! Gion!"

The distraught Zephyr finally snapped out of it, exclaiming, "I'll go save him!"

Without pausing, it plunged headfirst into the sea below.

Aokiji breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The state that Teacher Zephyr was in just now was truly terrifying; it was as if he had completely lost all hope.

And then...

Aokiji turned his left arm into ice to relieve the excruciating pain, then looked down at the ship below.

What should we do with these guys?

Below, on the deck of a seagoing vessel.

"What are you still standing there for? The show's over."

Ryde treated his own injuries with a roll of bandages, and said leisurely, "If you want to live, act now and bring all the hostages onto the ship."

"Did you hear that? Get moving!"

Without hesitation, Shiryu ordered the pirates on the ship to take action.

The pirates they brought were all elite pirates from the fourth or fifth level of Impel Down, each with a bounty of tens of millions. Naturally, they were very efficient and quickly transferred the hostages to the deck.

"So, what were you doing just now?"

Crocodile breathed a sigh of relief, transformed into sand, and flew back onto the deck. He looked at Ryde with some surprise.

Are you not acting crazy now?

"It's been a long time since I've seen my old rivals, so I'm just itching for a match."

Redfield simply said...

He didn't care about what Ian meant by pursuing new and precious things.

However, Ryde has indeed learned his lesson from these two battles.

The aging of the body is not the key issue; the fear and anxiety in one's heart are the real problem.

Only a steadfast heart can possess true strength!

Years of imprisonment have made him forget such an important thing.

"Is that so?"

Crocodile remained noncommittal in response to Ryde's reply.

The crisis is far from over.

The navy remains watchful.

If the navy wanted to, it could easily eliminate them.

But would the Navy agree?

Hero Garp landed on thin air, his face grim.

He looked at the people on the deck, their faces filled with fear and trembling.

"How about it? Naval hero,"

Crocodile sneered, "What is your decision?"

"You bastard!"

Hero Garp gritted his teeth in anger.

However, given his personality, he absolutely could not ignore the lives of these hundreds of civilians.

Let them go.

Aokiji sighed.

If a fight really breaks out, the losses will be substantial.

He was seriously injured, Teacher Zephyr's mental state was also severely damaged. Kake, and Gion was on the verge of death.

If we were to actually fight this group, winning wouldn't be an easy task.

Besides, there are hostages.

Crocodile's lips curled into a smile.

It's done.

Marine Headquarters G-5 Base.

Lieutenant Colonel Vergo led his soldiers in their daily training in the square by the port.

Admiral Aokiji has already been deployed; I wonder what will happen next.

However, the affairs of the Cross Guild were none of his concern. Without Lord Ian's orders, he only needed to strive to become stronger and be a good Marine.

A ship suddenly appeared in the distant harbor.

"Um?"

Vergo stopped and looked at it carefully.

That was a warship.

However, it wasn't a ship from G-5 base.

It was the ship of former Admiral Zephyr, carrying his students.

The young people were brought here by Zephyr for a temporary stay.

However, they couldn't stay idle and volunteered to patrol the area around the base in their boats.

They're such energetic young people.

However, from Vergo's angle, he couldn't see that further behind the warship, another ship was rapidly approaching.

It was a very small boat, almost a raft, with only two people on board: a strong man rowing frantically and an old woman standing at the bow, looking into the distance with binoculars.

She was still cursing under her breath, "Damn the Cross Guild! They actually took down G-11! They made me go through all this trouble!"

"Well, we've finally arrived! G-5 Base! Hehehe, cheer up, Weevil! You're about to become the new Shichibukai!"

"Oh!! Mom!!"

The silly son, Weevil, had no idea what the Shichibukai were, but since his mother was happy, he was happy too.

However, as they approached, the young people on the returning warship also spotted them.

"They're pirates!!"

On the lookout tower atop the mast, a young male navy officer shouted the alarm, "It's Edward Weevil! The man who calls himself White Second!!"

"What a daring bastard! Trying to emulate the Cross Guild' attack on G-5 base?"

The young sailors on deck instantly became agitated. "Call G-5 base immediately!"

"Prepare for a counterattack!!"

The warship slowly turned and soon positioned itself in front of the small boat.

"Um?"

Miss. Ba Jin, the prototype of Stussy, Ba Jin Gom Stussy is somewhat bewildered.

Before she could say anything, the warship in front roared with gunfire, and shells rained down on them.

Ba Jin was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly shouted, "Weevil! Stop him!"

"Okay, Mama!"

The foolish son immediately stood up and easily swung the huge naginata. With just one swing, the huge gust of air he created blew away the falling cannonballs.

Miss Ba Jin breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that it was safe, but immediately glared fiercely at the warship ahead. "Damn bastards! Not only did they not greet me, but they even dared to attack us! My good son! Let's go! Let's take them down!"

Yes, Mom!

So Weevil put his mother on his shoulders, then jumped into the water and shot towards the warship ahead like an arrow.

He is not a superhuman.

Or rather, they are not yet capable individuals.

The rookie sailors on the warship kept aiming and firing, but Weevil simply dove into the sea, causing them to lose sight of their target.

Just as the marines were getting anxious, a huge wave suddenly erupted in the sea beside the ship, Weevil landed heavily on the deck.

He brandished his naginata.

"How dare you attack my mom!"

Weevil's tone was silly, and his expression could be described as goofy, "You all have to die!"

But his broadsword, in particular, was anything but stupid.

Large amounts of blood splattered, and a group of sailors near him were instantly cut in half.

Upon receiving the communication from the new recruit ship, G-5 base reacted immediately. Vergo also boarded a warship and quickly approached the new recruit ship with his colleagues.

However, as they approached the ship to disembark, they were shocked to see what was happening.

The deck was covered in blood, and mutilated corpses lay scattered in pools of blood.

A tall figure emerged from the cabin, dragging two corpses with him.

"You're playing hide-and-seek with me!"

The blood-covered man chuckled and said, "Don't you know I'm best at hide-and-seek?"

The old woman sitting on his shoulders noticed the approaching warships. She stood up, hands on her hips, and proudly shouted, "Hey, Marines! Quickly inform the World Government! My precious son is going to become Shichibukai!"

The base's Vice Admiral general was trembling with rage. "Capture them!!"
