One Hundred Million Beli Less on My Bounty, and I'll Rip Up the Ticket

"Kill!"

"Ah!!!"

"My hand, my hand!"

"I surrender, don't kill me."

"Help, help!"

On the pirate ship, now engulfed in smoke, many pirates wailed on the ground. A large number of Marines were landing from their warships, and the two sides were locked in a life-or-death struggle.

"Boom!"

A figure shot out, smashing through the pirate ship's main mast before crashing into the cabin, his chest caved in as he coughed up blood uncontrollably.

Tobit descended from mid-air, his Justice cloak fluttering behind him. He looked sharply at the pirate in the shattered cabin who was spitting blood – it was the captain of this pirate crew.

Bounty: 48 million.

A minor character like this couldn't possibly be his opponent.

It had only taken five or six moves to render the other party unable to resist.

"All of you, lay down your weapons."

"Hurry, hands behind your head, get on the ground."

With the pirate captain's defeat, the situation became clear.

Many Marines, holding flintlock guns, surrounded the pirates, their faces filled with ferocity and vigilance.

"Don't kill me!"

As one or two pirates dropped their weapons and then lay on the ground, more and more pirates gave up.

Their captain hadn't lasted even ten seconds, and the Marine in the Justice coat at the bow, the insignia on his shoulder clearly indicated he was a Rear Admiral.

They were incredibly unlucky to have encountered a warship led by a Rear Admiral here.

"Tie them up!"

The Marines worked with practiced ease, kicking away the pirates' weapons before cuffing them.

Tobit had been watching silently since heavily wounding the pirate captain. Just standing there was enough of a deterrent.

But just as the dust settled, a piercing sound came from the sky. Tobit immediately looked up, his expression changing drastically.

Following his lead, the Marines and pirates also looked up, their mouths slightly agape in astonishment.

Sunlight streamed down as a magnificent, noble Giant Golden Sword descended. It was at least ten meters long, intricately carved with lifelike depictions of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, plants, and trees.

And atop this giant sword stood a handsome man clad in precious golden armor, exuding an aura of royalty.

However, this man was looking down at them with disdain, as if they were lowly beings.

"My luck isn't bad, I actually caught a Rear Admiral!"

Chaos flicked his hair back, revealing a smooth forehead. He squinted downwards, his gaze even more arrogant and dismissive.

This was the King's Glare!

"Clang, clang!"

The Golden Giant Sword beneath his feet made a metallic sound. Immediately, eighteen weapons, including sabers, spears, swords, and halberds, appeared in the sky around them. Exactly eighteen!

He lightly pressed down with his left hand, and instantly, the sound of air being torn apart filled the surroundings. The eighteen weapons shot out like arrows towards Tobit. He ignored the other Marines and pirates entirely.

His target was Tobit.

Facing the incoming golden weapons, Tobit remained calm.

He swiftly kicked out several times, creating five crescent-shaped Rankyaku slashes. They rose from the ground and collided with the golden weapons, emitting a sound like clashing metal!

Simultaneously, he vanished from his spot. The next second, several weapons were embedded in the deck.

"Rankyaku, Soru!"

Chaos's gaze swept towards the ship's railing. The opponent indeed knew Rokushiki.

Rankyaku was exactly what he needed.

He gently raised his right hand, and the weapons embedded in the deck rose into the air. They fell back down around him, all aimed at Tobit, but this time, they didn't shoot.

At the same time, the Golden Armor on Chaos's body peeled away and merged into the Giant Golden Sword.

"Swish!"

He vanished into thin air. The next second, Chaos appeared on the deck, only two meters away from Tobit.

"Who are you!"

Tobit's muscles tensed. He could sense danger.

Chaos's lips curved into a smirk, filled with arrogance. He responded to Tobit with action.

His right calf rapidly turned black. He exploded through the air, sweeping towards Tobit's head like lightning. Tobit leaned back to dodge, vanishing from his spot simultaneously. The next second, Tobit appeared to Chaos's right, his right arm bulging with veins, also covered in Armament Haki, and slammed towards Chaos's head.

Bang!

A loud, dull thud echoed as Chaos turned and threw a punch. A circular shockwave spread out from the two of them, forcing many pirates and Marines to stumble backward. At the same time, the air pressure crushed the black smoke from the burning flames at the stern of the ship.

Tobit grunted and staggered back a few steps, his eyes filled with gravity.

Chaos remained standing in place, but the deck beneath his feet cracked!

The difference in their strength was immediately apparent.

"Rankyaku!"

Tobit launched his attack, leaping up and kicking twice at Chaos, forming two crescent-shaped slashes that tore through the deck, charging fiercely towards Chaos.

Using Observation Haki, Chaos leisurely leaned left and right, then appeared in a flash, throwing a punch. Tobit tilted his head and threw an uppercut with his right fist, wrapped in Armament Haki.

Chaos first leaned back, then spun 360° off the ground. His left foot landed on the deck, and his right leg swept out with a whistling sound, like a general sweeping across an army.

"Whoosh!"

Tobit didn't try to block it head-on. Instead, he used Soru to disappear.

But as soon as he appeared five meters away, before he could even act, he sensed a crisis.

Chaos had also appeared.

"Taikai!"

Tobit's face changed drastically. His entire broad chest swelled, and he could only brace himself to take the incoming punch.

Like the sound of heavy metal colliding, Chaos's fist landed squarely on Tobit's chest. A massive gust of wind blew away the surrounding deck. Tobit's face turned red, his eyes filled with pain. He spat out a mouthful of blood and shot backward, piercing through a distant warship.

Chaos pursued, stepping on Geppo, and instantly vanished from everyone's sight.

"Rear Admiral Tobit!"

"Damn it, Rear Admiral."

"What do we do?"

"We believe in Rear Admiral Tobit!"

Many Marines walked to the ship's railing, looking nervously at the warship with a hole in it.

Inside the dimly lit warship, a strong scent of alcohol wafted through the air. Tobit lay amidst the ruins, drenched. This was clearly the Marines' wine storage area.

"Cough cough!"

He coughed and couldn't help but vomit blood. Tobit's face turned deathly pale.

Even with Tekkai and Armament Haki, he hadn't been able to defend against that punch.

Thump thump~

Footsteps approached. Tobit stood up shakily and looked at Chaos, then suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of him.

"Shigan!"

Tobit brought his index and middle fingers together, quickly coating them with Armament Haki and thrusting them like lightning towards Chaos's throat. This was a killing blow!

It could easily pierce through steel a decimeter thick.

Chaos's Observation Haki had been active the whole time. He easily dodged by tilting his head, stepped forward, and his right fist turned black as he ferociously slammed it into Tobit's abdomen. An air pressure shockwave immediately burst out from behind Tobit, piercing through layers of buildings and finally allowing sunlight to shine through, completely destroying the warship's living quarters.

Gurgle~

Tobit doubled over, clutching his abdomen with both hands, and knelt on the ground. The veins on his flushed face bulged, and his eyes, wide open, were gradually stained red with blood, as if they would pop out at any moment.

His entire body had lost feeling. Apart from spitting up large amounts of blood, Tobit could barely move.

"He's indeed much weaker than Sakazuki."

Chaos looked down at Tobit. The feeling he gave was completely different from Sakazuki.

There was no pressure at all.

Outside in the sky, the Giant Golden Sword moved horizontally beside the warship and quickly extended a golden chain into the hole, binding Tobit and tying him to the giant sword.

There were also ten Marines.

Chaos stepped on Geppo and flew onto the Giant Golden Sword, looking at the remaining Marines on the pirate ship!

"Remember my name: Golden Emperor Gaia Chaos. Go back and report to your superiors to issue my bounty. If it's short by 100 million Berries, I'll kill him. Also, give my regards to Sakazuki!"

The Giant Golden Sword soared into the sky and quickly disappeared into the clouds, leaving behind a group of stunned Marines!!
