It was precisely because of this that the middle-aged man felt the vibrations shaking his body grow more intense the closer he got to the surface.
The internal organs within his body felt as though they had suffered some damage from these tremors.
Enduring the discomfort, he tried to rush out toward the surface at an even faster speed, but the moment his head broke through the ground, a fist wreathed in crimson magic slammed down violently.
The island could no longer withstand such immense power; it began to fracture continuously and sink, and in the end, the entire island, along with the middle-aged man who had been crushed to death by that single punch, sank into the sea.
Milim and Charlotte Lingling stood quietly in the air, watching this scene unfold with absolute calm.
Lingling couldn't help but exclaim, "Every time I see your strength, I am amazed. They say my talent is one in ten thousand on the sea."
"But Milim, I feel your talent is the strongest in this world."
"Those two opponents I struggled with for three days, you managed to kill them both in just this short while." Charlotte Lingling looked at Milim!
Although she knew that Milim was able to kill the two so easily partly because their bodies were extremely exhausted from the three-day battle, and partly because Milim had launched a sneak attack when killing the old man.
Coupled with the damage to the old man's weapon, that was how Milim managed to kill him in one blow.
As for the middle-aged man, because of Milim's Dragon Eyes, his advantage of hiding within the rocks had vanished completely, allowing Milim to easily see every position where he was hiding.
Even so, Milim's power was undeniable. According to Milim, relying on her infinite energy and infinite stamina, as long as they weren't on the same level, those beneath her were no different from ants.
Her own strength should now be considered to have reached the level of an Admiral; ordinary Admirals couldn't do anything to her, after all, Charlotte Lingling's Iron Skin and Phoenix Fruit were simply too unfair.
"Heehee!" Milim wore a proud expression, her little eyes constantly signaling for Lingling to praise her more.
Lingling smiled helplessly: "Let's go, we should head back now."
"Eh?" Milim, who was waiting for praise, was stunned for a moment and pouted angrily, but she still followed behind Lingling.
The two soon left these waters and returned to Many Countries!
Meanwhile, everyone on the sea who saw the newspaper in their hands widened their eyes in disbelief.
The newspaper read: "Power Capable of Destroying the World: Destruction Demon Lord Milim."
The paper featured a photo of the island at the beginning, a photo of Milim attacking, and finally, a photo of the island after it had been struck.
The next news story was about Charlotte Lingling battling three powerhouses and killing one of them in a counterattack.
"Gurarara!" Edward Newgate let out a loud laugh, though his eyes looked at the newspaper with great seriousness: "Rocks! A powerhouse capable of surpassing you has been born."
"Hahahaha! Truly a powerhouse. It seems we must add one more person to our plan." Rocks let out a crazed laugh, his eyes filled with confidence, yet he acknowledged Milim's strength.
"I really didn't expect such powerful strength to belong to this little girl!" Shiki puffed on his cigar, a comical smile appearing on his face.
"By the way, Rocks, are we going to look for that Giant King again?" A very young Kaido looked at Rocks in confusion: "Hasn't he already refused to join your plan?"
"Harald must join my plan; he is the one who can perfectly unleash the potential of that fruit." Ambition filled Rocks' eyes: "With his addition, we will surely be able to take over the entire world."
"Geez, the Captain is daydreaming again." Shiki complained indifferently, his tone showing absolutely no respect for the Captain.
If you like this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
Rocks didn't care about Shiki's tone; they were gathered together because of ambition, so naturally, there was no such thing as camaraderie between them.
At Marine Headquarters, Kong's face was gloomy as he looked at the newspaper in his hand!
Present at the same time were Garp, Sengoku, Tsuru, and Zephyr.
Kong rubbed his temples. Ever since Rocks caused a scene at Holy Land Mary Geoise and even killed a Marine Admiral along the way!
The high-level combat power of the Marines had been interrupted. Although Garp and the others had some potential, they were not yet qualified to be Admirals. Yet, at this moment, Many Countries had suddenly emerged, and within Many Countries was the Destruction Demon Lord Milim, who could easily destroy islands.
Everything was happening all at once.
After a few seconds of silence, Kong suddenly spoke: "Sengoku, what do you think we should do next?"
"Should we increase the bounty, or ignore it?"
The young Sengoku lowered his head and thought very seriously, and after a short while, he raised his head again: "I think we can choose not to deal with it for now, or even cancel the bounties on the people of Many Countries."
"Oh! And the reason?" Kong's tone was very calm, as if he had already known the answer.
"According to the data, Charlotte Lingling and Milim have not killed any innocents since they set sail and established Many Countries. As for the destroyed islands, that is a battle between nations, and we Marines have no authority to intervene." Sengoku stated his reasons very calmly.
"Moreover, our main enemy right now is Rocks. He has gathered many pirates, and it is clear he intends to do something big."
"If we increase the bounties on the King of Many Countries and Milim now, it will only push Many Countries toward Rocks."
"Neither the Marines nor the World Government can accept such a consequence."
After hearing Sengoku out, Kong nodded: "What you said is similar to what I was thinking. The current Marines do not have the ability to suppress both Rocks and Many Countries at the same time. Rather than pushing Many Countries to Rocks' side, it is better to try to be on good terms with them."
"Then, revoke the bounties on Milim and Charlotte Lingling."
"Understood!" Sengoku nodded in response!
Afterward, Kong turned his gaze toward Garp, who was quietly stuffing a donut into his mouth, and black lines appeared on his forehead.
"Garp, this is a conference room, not a place for you to eat donuts."
"What does such a small thing matter?" Garp didn't care at all and stuffed another donut into his mouth.
As a Marine, everything about Garp was excellent; both his combat power and his merits were enough for him to be promoted to Admiral, but Garp had always refused to become one, and his willful behavior was a headache for everyone.
"Sigh!" Marshal Kong sighed helplessly, his tone softening: "Garp, you are a Marine, not a tag-along for Roger. Stop running to wherever Roger goes every single day."
"Got it, got it." Garp waved his hand, but his indifferent expression proved he hadn't listened to a word the Marshal said.
Compared to the shock of everyone else on the sea, the Roger Pirates were holding a banquet.
"That power is truly absurd! To wipe out a country just like that. I had clearly warned them, yet they treated me like a liar!" Roger gulped down a mouthful of wine.
