Six full warships.

That scale of firepower alone would have been enough to flatten a medium or small island.

Yet that man had reduced all six warships to ashes in the blink of an eye.

"What an incredible power..."

Gloriosa stared blankly at Maud in the sky.

Just imagining making an enemy of such a terrifying man was a disaster in itself.

Silence spread along the coastline.

Everyone watched what had happened on the sea, too shocked to speak.

Hancock looked toward Maud, her eyes shimmering.

She had not feared those six warships, but being protected by Maud gave her a feeling she had never experienced before.

It was an indescribable sense of security, as well as a happiness that filled her entire heart.

A captivating smile slowly appeared on Hancock's face.

High above the sky.

Maud lowered his head and swept his gaze over the blood-red sea.

If he used Observation Haki to investigate, he should be able to sense many auras that had not been pierced by the black spikes.

But Maud had no intention of finishing them off. With a beat of his black wings, he flew toward the Netherworld.

Being able to solve one of Hancock's problems before leaving had been an unexpected turn of events.

It put Maud in a good mood.

He had already been thinking about how to repay Hancock for helping him on the battlefield without regard for the consequences.

He also knew that he would not have many opportunities to repay her afterward.

The arrival of these six warships had given Maud the perfect opportunity.

However—

Instead of focusing on postwar recovery, the Marines had dispatched forces to eliminate the surviving Shichibukai.

That move gave people the feeling that they could not tolerate even a single grain of sand.
