Baptism by Gunpowder Fireworks
Even with a large number of personnel deployed, the naval base in Loguetown remains heavily guarded.
The weapons and soldiers here are extremely disciplined, after all, they are the 'gate' guarding the entrance from the East Blue to the Grand Line, Marineford attaches great importance to this place.
Normally, even if Oboro and Dom could break into the base, it would take them a lot of time. However, Dom's ability to "open windows" is just too convenient. Although there are limitations in distance and coordinates, this defense is still practically useless against the two of them.
An alarm sounded at the naval base, and large numbers of soldiers who had not gone out filed out of various buildings to encircle and annihilate the enemy.
For a time, under the rainy night, gunfire and shouts continued.
The naval soldiers charging at the front lines fell one by one, not very fast... but they had no idea which direction to aim their guns. The lone warriors who charged in, armed only with a short blade, moved through the crowd as if it were nothing. Often, before they could even pull the trigger, a figure as swift as a cheetah would be right there, thrusting the weapon into a vital spot.
Firstly, the rain affected visibility.
Secondly, the enemy's speed was too fast, making it difficult for ordinary soldiers to react.
One more thing... Even though some soldiers present launched an encirclement tactic, intending to use their numerical advantage to compress the target's space, it was completely useless. The enemy could vanish into thin air at any time, disappearing without a trace, and then reappearing undetected from another direction.
This individual lethality has been brought to its extreme.
"Inform Colonel Smoker immediately!"
"I've already notified them... Commander Smoker is on his way back."
"We've also received a report from headquarters!"
On the edge of the battlefield, a second lieutenant from the branch shouted angrily, his face extremely grim.
Cunning Fox!
The God Slayer have actually come to the East Blue, and their first target is Loguetown.
What alarmed him most was that the outside world's attention was entirely focused on the God Slayer. Although the Cunning Fox was also involved, no one paid much attention to this person. According to the information, this guy was originally a low-bounty One Piece who had been in an insignificant One Piece crew in the Grand Line. The only thing that was somewhat special was his ability... The reason this person's bounty was 50 million was entirely due to the 'God Slayer'.
No one would think he's a really troublesome character.
However, what was happening before his eyes made the lieutenant realize that he was completely wrong.
Even if we don't know what happened to the other side recently, judging from their combat performance alone, the figure of 50 million is not as exaggerated as we might think.
"Hurry and find the other guy, he must be hiding somewhere in the base!"
"The lieutenant gave the order."
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, the ranks of soldiers immediately rushed in different directions, temporarily leaving the battlefield.
Two people stormed into the base.
Now only the Cunning Fox remains as a criminal. The lieutenant has no idea what Oboro is planning. He thinks he can buy time with just one One Piece, but that's wishful thinking.
Even though the base is short-handed, the number of people is still more than two people can handle.
"Are you the leader of this base?"
Suddenly, just as the lieutenant was observing the situation on the battlefield, a door and window appeared behind him without warning.
Then, half of Dom's body emerged from the 'window,' and his head reached up to the lieutenant's shoulder.
He gave a cold, sinister smile.
The lieutenant's expression changed drastically, and he was about to draw his sword.
The snow-white light had already engulfed his neck...
Meanwhile, in an office building within the base.
Long walked along the quiet corridor and pushed open a door.
Behind him lay the straits of naval corpses.
"Is this the place?"
Long realized he had found the right place.
The archives at the naval base contain a wealth of information and intelligence on various aspects of the East Blue.
Some of these things are even unknown to outsiders.
He walked to a shelf, picked up a stack of documents, and began to read them.
A few minutes later, footsteps and shouts could be heard from outside the open door.
A new squad of soldiers has arrived.
Oboro merely glanced outside and continued searching for any valuable 'information'.
Meanwhile, after receiving the message from the base, Smoker immediately rode his motorcycle back.
He tried to contact Tashigi, but no one answered the Den Den Mushi.
As for the troublemaking One Piece, he single-handedly took them all down, and they were then taken into custody by the arriving marines. His hair and clothes were somewhat disheveled... but he was unharmed. This is one of the advantages of Logia-type Devil Fruits; at least in the Four Blues, very few One Piece could harm him.
However, he spent far more time dealing with these One Piece than he had imagined, and it wasn't as easy as he thought.
"To bestow power upon outsiders, greatly increasing their strength, and even causing changes in their bloodline?"
The cold rain lashed against his face, and Smoker's thick eyebrows furrowed.
Under his intense pressure and torture, those seemingly tough and fierce One Piece quickly gave in and told him the truth about what had happened to them.
Some of the descriptions struck Smoker as utterly absurd.
What kind of Devil Fruit ability can enhance someone else's power and even alter their body and appearance? Also, the One Piece are saying that the God Slayer seems to be planning to build his own One Piece crew and force in East Blue, starting from there, so that he can one day return to the Grand Line.
If the God Slayer were to 'reside' permanently in the East Blue, his arrival would undoubtedly change the 'living environment' of all East Blue One Piece, and would be a direct challenge to Smoker's plans. Therefore, Smoker would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.
Today, he must capture the God Slayer! That's what he thought, but Smoker was in a very bad mood.
Because he had already realized he'd been tricked...
With that thought in mind, he tightened the throttle, and the roar of the motorcycle became even more deafening.
Dom is in charge of creating chaos.
Meanwhile, Oboro strolled leisurely around the base, and the naval soldiers who kept coming to support him posed no threat to him whatsoever.
It only increases the death toll.
Even if he doesn't make a move, relying solely on his soul perception to evade and hide, the soldiers won't be able to detect him.
After spending a short time in the archives, he left and found what he was looking for.
An explosives depot within a naval base.
He smiled when he saw the boxes sitting quietly in the room.
Then, just minutes later, with the first deafening explosion and a burst of flames, the devastation of the Loguetown naval branch began...
Smoker rode back to base at top speed.
But from a distance, he could see the black smoke and flames rising up through the rain.
His pupils contracted, and veins bulged on his forehead.
He never expected that Oboro could do this! This result is ten times, a hundred times worse than he anticipated! No matter how weak the defenses in the base are, they could not have been destroyed to this extent in such a short time.
Not to mention, at the very first moment the incident occurred, teams of soldiers operating closer to the base immediately returned.
The situation should be getting better and better under control.
"Asshole!"
