Sabaody Grand Stage (1)

"It's a naval warship!"

"Damn it! How come we didn't receive any prior notice? Why did the Navy suddenly send such a large force to Sabaody Archipelago?"

"Is it because of the Hell Pirates?"

"Stop thinking about it, just run!"

As dusk approached, at a port in the Sabaody Archipelago, the One Piece who had been walking in small groups suddenly became restless, and then large numbers of them began to flee in all directions. They saw a row of dark shadows appear on the distant horizon, and only after getting closer did they realize that they were naval warships.

The quantity is staggering.

Some astute individuals have realized that this might be related to the Hell Pirates, also known as the God Slayer, their activities in Lawless Area during this period.

Some people were not surprised by this result, but they had not yet obtained divine power and were unwilling to leave just like that.

Holding onto a sliver of hope.

No one knows when the World Government will take action.

"Walk!"

"If we don't run now, it will be too late!"

The sounds of panic and confusion rose and fell.

Meanwhile, on a roadside bench, Dorans sat with his legs crossed, leisurely eating a slice of pizza.

Seeing the navy making such a 'big fuss,' he chuckled, 'Who... could it be?'

Soon, naval warships surrounded the entire harbor coastline, and large numbers of soldiers filed out of the ships. Following the orders of their officers, they began to clear out the One Piece who had made the island a chaotic mess. The sounds of gunfire, bullets, and the clash of melee weapons began almost the instant the navy set foot on land.

"Wow... things are more serious than I thought."

"Have the One Piece become this brazen? They've come all the way here..."

"This isn't Lawless Area. Can't we just stay put? Honestly... they won't let us rest at all."

With a flash of golden light, Kizaru appeared on the ground. His eyes, behind his glasses, swept around, and he sighed in a lazy yet slightly complaining tone.

Boom boom boom.

Explosions were heard continuously nearby, and thick smoke was already rising.

Sentomaru, the captain of the headquarters' science unit, walked over carrying a giant axe on his shoulder, his tone cold.

"Stop complaining... Uncle, hurry up and find the key targets that need to be eliminated."

Behind the two, Pacifista were already visible.

"The monsters of the new era... how terrifying!"

Borsalino spoke in a strange, eccentric tone.

Then, his eyes darted around, glancing behind him, "But with the two of you coming along this time, I should be able to relax a bit, right?"

Momousagi and Chaton, both wearing naval justice coats, arrived side by side.

"I'm just here to help you out."

Wearing wooden clogs, Chaton, Kake looked like a sleazy old man next door, scratched his head and laughed.

"Hurry up... If we drag this out, some of them might escape."

Momousagi urged them on.

"Hehe..."

Kizaru strolled forward lazily, hands in his pockets. The group clearly had their own plans and were going to split up. He chuckled, his voice trailing off as he reminded the three, "Be careful, don't run into that guy~ This time, they're not our target. Honestly, I don't want to see him again... The Sabaody Archipelago incident got me a scolding from the Fleet Admiral... I'm getting old, I can't take it anymore..."

The Momousagi duo and Sentomaru naturally knew who Kizaru was referring to.

God Slayer, huh?

Whoosh whoosh.

Despite his words, Kizaru strolled along leisurely, taking out one hand and pointing his finger at various areas.

His fingertips flashed with rainbow light, and each beam of light accurately struck groups of One Piece trying to escape... These minor characters posed no threat to him whatsoever.

After taking a few more steps, Kizaru suddenly stopped.

"Oh?"

A surprised sound was heard.

Directly in front of him was a long, narrow seat.

There sat the only One Piece who hadn't run away, and he was even leisurely eating something.

This person has a ferocious appearance, but has a human body. His skin and bones are abnormal, and he is the newly born Demon Tribe that is now known all over the world.

Dorans, a member of the Hell Pirates.

Dorans crossed his legs, eating as he put down the Den Den Den Mushi.

He remained relatively calm in the face of Kizaru standing in front of him.

"Hey... buddy, are you One Piece?"

Kizaru naturally recognized Dorans, but he pretended to be naive and asked in a kind tone.

A smiling face.

Dorans finished the last piece of pizza, licked his fingers, and grinned widely. "So this is a Marine Admiral... First time meeting one head-on, tsk tsk tsk... This feeling of danger is really frightening. It's no less terrifying than the fear I felt when facing the Shiki, and it's even a little more terrifying."

Aren't you going to run?

Kizaru asked, his finger was already aimed at Dorans, and a blinding light emanated from his fingertip.

He had just said not to attack the Hell Pirates, but when they met, Kizaru acted without the slightest hesitation.

"Our captain has already said that if it's you coming, there's no point in running away."

Seeing that Kizaru was about to make a move, Dorans's smile became forced, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

"He's definitely not an ordinary monster... He's really a headache."

As soon as he finished speaking, the laser beam from his fingertip shot out.

It hit Dorans head-on.

But before making his move, Kizaru's eyes, hidden behind his glasses, darted around and glanced in a certain direction.

Sure enough... the light spot and a patch of electricity exploded in an intertwined pattern.

After the explosion subsided, Dorans was found sitting unharmed in his original spot, while arcs of electricity crackled in the space in front of him.

A man appeared behind Dorans.

Judge Enel!

Dorans gasped for breath, thinking he was going to die... His heart pounded in fear, and he swallowed hard, staring at Enel, "You're finally here... I thought I was going to be killed."

Enel expressionless... He had simply returned to the Sabaody Archipelago at the agreed time to carry out the mission assigned by Oboro: to protect Dorans.

During this period, he and the two priests were constantly cultivating.

Cultivating Haki...

Long threw the three of them onto a deserted island and told them about a comprehensive training plan.

Unfortunately, the time was a bit short, and he was unable to master Armament Haki, but... he did awaken a complete form of Observation Haki.

Moreover, due to his own talent and the attribute enhancement of his Devil Fruit ability, Enel has realized that he may have extreme potential in Observation Haki.

As for Armament Haki, it seems that it is somewhat difficult for him to feel and understand it.

"What terrifying eyes... Where did you Hell Pirates guys even come from?"

Kizaru smiled.

Enel ignored Dorans and stared blankly at the admiral in front of him.

This was also the first time he had faced a general directly.

In the past, he would have done it without saying a word.

But now...

Enel placed a hand on Dorans's shoulder, and the next second, an electric current burst forth.

Like a flash of lightning, the two disappeared from the spot.

Kizaru's eyes darted around, and he whistled, "What amazing speed!"

He can catch up.

However, he did not pursue them.

Because it was meaningless, he had more important things to do.

The priority of the mission assigned from above is not the Hell Pirates.
