Retreat! Momousagi's Pursuit

Vice Admiral Tsuru plummeted like a cannonball, crashing directly into the deck of the warship below.

The entire warship was shaking violently. If the Marine warship hadn't been so robust, the vice admiral Vice Admiral crashed through it and been thrown into the sea.

Ian had returned to normal, and he chuckled.

I admit your Wash-Wash Fruit is very powerful, but if I were unaffected, how would you possibly deal with it?

With intelligence leaks nowadays, it wouldn't be easy to hit an opponent of this caliber with destructive flames under normal circumstances.

But you're too confident in your abilities, Granny Tsuru.

What was that saying of Teacher Zephyr?

Crane, you rely too much on your own abilities!

Ian shook his fist.

Of course, that's truly an impressive display of Haki.

Armament Haki even stronger than Marco's.

Even with the destructive flames, the punch failed to completely pierce through Granny Tsuru's defensive Haki.

However, it cannot be said that it has no effect.

The fact that most of his Haki was shattered meant that Vice Admiral Tsuru had essentially taken Ian's scorching yet ferocious punch head-on with his bare body.

It probably won't be a pleasant experience.

"Sister He!"

Gion, who was fighting Yamato and the others, noticed this scene and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

How is that possible?

Sister He was actually shot down by that brat?

"Thunder Bagua!"

In the instant she was distracted, Yamato's attack arrived, striking Gion squarely on the side of her face, like hitting a baseball, sending this rising star of the Navy flying.

"Why are you daydreaming!"

Yamato was still very dissatisfied, "Fight me properly!"

Gion flew through the air like a cannonball, covering nearly a hundred meters before flipping and landing. She pressed her hand to her face, where a patch of solid ice covered it.

This brat's freezing power is probably even stronger than Senior Kuzan's when he was a child!

Haki surged forth.

Crack! The ice shattered, but my face still felt numb.

I don't know if it was from being hit or from being frozen.

Major General Gion calmed himself down.

I can sense Tsuru's presence with my Observation Haki; she's alright.

There's no need to worry too much.

Let's focus on the battle at hand.

However, at this time...

"That's amazing!!"

Trebol was so surprised that he flicked his snot away. "That's Vice Admiral Tsuru!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru, who chased them relentlessly until they had nowhere to run!

It was shot down so easily?

What kind of monster is Ian of the Scorched Sky, this young man?

"Fufufufu! Don't just stand there! Keep fighting!"

Doflamingo burst into laughter.

Ian is already like this, Kaido must be much stronger!

With an ally like the Beasts Pirates, he can do whatever he wants in business!

Ian flapped his wings and flew through the sky, casually scattering a patch of flame that covered some of the naval personnel who had disembarked from the warships and were heading to support Gion.

He turned around; the Germa Kingdom was moving very fast, and in just a short while, they had already put a great distance between them.

Hmm, even warships probably couldn't catch up, right?

That seems to be almost done.

Ian lowered his head.

On the deck of the warship below, Vice Admiral Tsuru clutched his stomach, his face pale, and looked at him with surprise.

How could that be?

How could my abilities not work?

Vice Admiral Tsuru was puzzled.

Given the sheer strength of this kid's Haki aura, he shouldn't be able to ignore her abilities.

Furthermore, the power of that punch was truly outrageous.

It felt like his intestines were about to be ruptured, and his skin and muscles were charred black from the high temperature.

Such exaggerated power, such scorching flames!

Red flames? Just as rumored, they are incredibly powerful!

"Yamato! Doflamingo!"

Ian yelled at the top of his lungs, "Retreat!"

"Huh?"

Yamato reluctantly looked up, "It's only just begun!"

That's enough.

Ian said, "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Funfunfun, let's listen to Ian."

Doflamingo laughed and said, "Indeed, there's no need to continue fighting them."

"Don't even think about it!"

Gion roared in anger.

They think they can just attack whenever they want and run away whenever they want? What do they take their navy for?

Moreover, the sense of unease in her heart had not yet dissipated.

She will continue to fight!

"That's not up to you."

Doflamingo chuckled and pointed a finger at the sky.

"Gion!! Back off!!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru shout came from behind.

Gion looks up.

In the sky, the fiery Phoenix has already spread its wings and arrived.

Gion's pupils contracted, and she instinctively pulled back.

Ian's move is no longer a mystery.

The Navy has already reached a decision.

Since almost all attacks are ineffective when he is in flame form, it's best to keep your distance.

Anyway, this move has a time limit.

We absolutely must not fight him at this time.

But this was exactly what Ian wanted.

"Alright,"

Ian looked at Gion, who had pushed him away, and said, "I'll cover your retreat. Go after Judge."

"Hmm!"

Yamato puffed out his cheeks unhappily.

Then he turned and ran wildly in the direction the Germa Kingdom had left.

Where she ran, the sea froze, carving out a wide road.

"Ian, you should be careful too."

Black Maria gave Ian some instructions.

Jack, on the other hand, followed Yamato directly.

Just kidding, does Brother Ian need to worry?

He's invincible!

"Follow him."

Doflamingo gave the order, then looked up at Ian and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Ian."

"Extremely simple."

Ian said.

"Fufufufu!"

The Donquixote Family also quickly pursued Germa.

After they had all run far away, Ian no longer suppressed his own body temperature.

A white mist instantly rose from the sea surface, accompanied by the hissing sound of seawater evaporating, and the icy road melted instantly.

It's so hot!

Gion used Geppo to take flight, gritting her teeth as she looked at Ian, who was flapping his wings and lying across the sky.

Just how terrifying are this guy's flames?

He hadn't even used the red flames yet.

"Don't worry about it,"

Ian said calmly, "I'll be leaving in a little while."

Gion felt a string in her mind tightening.

That brat doesn't take them seriously at all!

Vice Admiral Tsuru carefully observed Ian.

Elementalization?

However, it is a very special Elementalization, so much so that even Haki cannot touch it.

To defeat him in this state, it would probably require some special ability.

However, Vice Admiral Tsuru was also concerned about the moment when his ability failed.

Ian looked back; Yamato and the others had already run far away.

"Then, I should leave as well,"

Ian bid farewell to the navy, spread his wings, turned, and left with a single sentence. "Justice? Hah!"

That's ridiculous.

He could clearly see that Vice Admiral Tsuru was not going all out either.

There exists a strange tacit understanding between the Navy and the pirates.

"...!"

Gion seemed to hear a cracking sound.

The string in her mind snapped.

"You bastard! Stop right there!!"

Gion roared forward, stepping on the air.

Gion!!

Vice Admiral Tsuru Tsuru's usually impassive face finally changed color. "Come back!"

Oh no, what I heard today has completely caused Gion to lose control of her emotions.

That is indeed the case.

Gion was never a short-tempered or easily angered person.

But at that moment, she felt that if she couldn't defeat this brat, it would prove that what he said was true.

That proves that the Navy isn't as righteous as she imagined!

Ian flapped his wings and flew forward, hearing a roar coming from behind.

No, you're actually pursuing her?

Ian initially ignored her and simply continued flying forward.

A series of Flying Slash came from behind, which, although unable to harm Ian in his Phoenix form, were still quite annoying.

Moreover, if they let this guy continue chasing, he'll catch up with Yamato and the others.

"You really don't know what's good for you."

Ian finally stopped, turned around, and said, "I've already gone ahead with this on purpose."

"You mere pirate! How dare you speak so arrogantly!"

Despite her anger, Gion did not forget the precautions she had taken when fighting Ian, and she did not get too close.

only.

This is in the sky! How could you possibly be faster than me, relying solely on Geppo?

Ian transformed into a fire-man, his wings flapping and flames erupting behind him, streaking towards Gion like a shooting star.

Wow, so fast!

Gion retreated while unleashing Flying Slash with her sword to attack Ian.

However, such an attack would naturally be of no use.

"Then let's have a sword fight."

Ian flew in and drew a scarlet greatsword in mid-air.

Gion's pupils constricted.

It's here!

A weapon made of red flames!

But there's nowhere to hide!

Gion!

Behind me, Sister He was approaching.

Just keep this guy occupied!

As long as we can stall until his transformation time is over!

Gion's eyes hardened, Haki powerfully strengthened the sword in her hand.

She swung her sword in mid-air.

When!!

The crimson greatsword and the jet-black blade clashed.

As the black Inazuma flashed, Gion felt an astonishing heat.

but.

It's blocked!

Gion cheered inwardly.

Sure enough, as long as your Haki is strong enough, you can block his red flames!

Ian ignored everything and swung his sword down heavily.

Gion steadied herself and parried with her sword.

This guy's swordsmanship is really nothing to brag about; he just relies on strength and speed to wield his sword.

If he weren't currently in an unassailable state, a single sword strike would have pierced his chest.

Gion suddenly felt her hand lighten.

"Huh?"

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw half of her beloved dagger, the Konpira, flying through the air before shattering.

"The knife is of very good quality!"

Ian laughed, "You actually managed to block three of my swords!"

Don't get me wrong, Gion's Haki is no stronger Marco's.

However, the quality of her sword was indeed very good.

It wasn't until the third sword strike that it was completely destroyed.

Then.

The scarlet blade pierced the woman's abdomen.

Gion reacted quickly, desperately using her Haki to defend herself.

So much so that the Sword of Destruction only pierced the tip of the blade.

But that's enough.

"Aaaaaah!!"
