Whitebeard: What? You met a Navy Admiral

The battle between the Rocks Pirates and the Navy in the Olama Nation lasted a full day and night.

Patri Vic's fight with Kong had not stopped for a moment, as he continuously used his abilities to keep distance from Kong.

Kong, for his part, could not easily dispose of Patri Vic either.

After a day and night of high-intensity combat, Patri Vic was now exceptionally exhausted.

Kong, his entire body coated in Armament Haki, had also expended a great deal of Haki and stamina.

Patri Vic could do nothing to Kong, and Kong could not subdue him in a short time either.

On the other side, the battle between Rocks and the Fleet Admiral was equally intense.

The central area of the Olama Nation had been completely destroyed by their fight—not a single patch of ground remained intact, nothing but rubble and debris scattered everywhere.

Rocks gripped his sword with one hand, veins bulging on his arm, and slashed fiercely at the Fleet Admiral before him.

The Fleet Admiral was also a master swordsman, his arm coated in Haki as he swung his blade to meet the attack.

"Boom!"

Before their blades even clashed, a terrifying surge of air erupted like a meteor strike, sweeping in all directions. The space around them twisted and warped.

"Shing!"

Rocks suddenly retreated, then swung his sword once.

The blade scraped against the air, producing a faint crackling sound, as a devastating Sword Qi, overwhelming heaven and earth, shot toward the Fleet Admiral with lightning speed.

The Fleet Admiral gripped his sword with both hands and swung hard, dispersing the Sword Qi that Rocks had sent.

"Bang!"

He gathered power in his legs, leaving a small crater in the ground, then charged swiftly at Rocks.

"Shing!"

Rocks sidestepped his attack and swung his blade, striking the Fleet Admiral's flank.

Though the Fleet Admiral coated his entire body in Haki at the critical moment to block the slash, Rocks' Armament Haki was equally profound, and his swordsmanship was otherworldly—the sharp Sword Qi and Haki force invaded the Fleet Admiral's wound.

Wincing in pain, the Fleet Admiral used Geppo to flee the spot.

"Damn it." The Fleet Admiral frowned slightly, looking at the blood seeping from his flank.

That slash from Rocks carried a terrifying sword intent and Haki power, making it extremely unpleasant for him.

"Is that all you've got, Fleet Admiral?" Rocks taunted.

"Barely a scratch, Rocks." The Fleet Admiral replied calmly.

"Putting on a brave face." Rocks sneered coldly.

"Today, your Rocks Pirates are doomed to fall." The Fleet Admiral's expression turned solemn as he spoke gravely.

"You underestimate my crew." Rocks charged at the Fleet Admiral, gripping his sword with both hands.

"You underestimate the Navy." The Fleet Admiral charged at Rocks as well, his sword held in both hands.

The Rocks Pirates had no shortage of strong officers.

But the Navy elites who had come here this time were also numerous.

They all faced formidable foes of their own.

"Bru bru bru..."

"Bru bru bru..."

As Patri Vic fought intently, the Den Den Mushi at his waist suddenly rang.

"Hm?"

He was slightly distracted, and in that instant, Kong seized the opportunity.

He punched Patri Vic, sending his body flying like a rocket into the distance.

"Boom!"

A loud crash rang out as a massive crater formed far away.

"Cough, cough..."

Patri Vic spat a trace of blood, wiped the corner of his mouth, stood up, and answered the Den Den Mushi.

"Hello?"

"Is that Vic?" Whitebeard's voice came from the other end.

"It's me." Patri Vic replied.

"I've broken through the line on my end. I'll contact Captain Rocks to leave soon—head toward me first." Whitebeard instructed.

Whitebeard told Patri Vic his location.

Two Navy Vice Admirals lay at Whitebeard's side; he had already claimed victory.

But defeating two Elite Vice Admirals hadn't come easy for Whitebeard either.

His body was covered in wounds, blood dripping down from them.

"I've got a problem here—I need to lure him away first, then I'll head over." Patri Vic nodded in response.

"Who did you run into?"

"Navy Admiral Kong."

No sooner had Patri Vic finished speaking than Kong caught up.

"Boom!"

A single punch swung out, carrying the force of a Primordial Beast, hurtling toward Patri Vic.

Patri Vic's body flew backward, dodging Kong's attack, the powerful gale whipping his hair into a mess.

In the crater where he'd just stood, the pit's floor had sunk even deeper.

"What? You ran into a Navy Admiral?" Whitebeard asked in surprise.

Even he had only encountered two Navy Vice Admirals—he hadn't expected Patri Vic to be fighting a Navy Admiral!

"Wood Style: Wood Dragon Technique!"

A massive wooden dragon materialized beside Patri Vic.

It had a colossal body covered in spikes, a pair of sharp fangs, claws that could easily slice through steel, and a long hook nose.

The Wood Dragon radiated a terrifying aura from head to toe, opening its gaping maw and charging at Kong with lightning speed.

"Yeah, he's tough." Patri Vic replied, breathing a bit heavily.

Using his abilities nonstop for a full day and night left him feeling like his body was being drained dry.

Right now, compared to a powerhouse like a Navy Admiral, he still had a considerable gap.

"Vic, where are you? I'll come help you," Whitebeard said quickly.

Whitebeard knew well how terrifying a Navy Admiral's strength was—they were the face of the Navy after all.

And the fact that Patri Vic could fight a Navy Admiral for an entire day and night completely stunned Whitebeard.

Whitebeard fully acknowledged Patri Vic's strength, but it hadn't reached the level of defeating a Navy Admiral.

"No need. If you come, it'll be even harder to get away. I have my own way out," Patri Vic refused.

During this time, some Navy strongmen had come mid-battle to help Kong.

But Kong insisted on defeating him alone, sending those Navy fighters to support others.

If Whitebeard showed up, the situation would change. Though teaming up, they could match or even defeat a Navy Admiral.

But that would also draw more Navy powerhouses targeting them.

Then it'd be extremely hard to escape.

"Alright, then hurry up and come. Don't get tangled up with him," Whitebeard replied after a moment of silence.

Patri Vic nodded, then hung up the Den Den Mushi.

By then, Kong had already destroyed the Wood Dragon, though its claws had left three vicious gashes on Kong's body.

"You can't hold out much longer," Kong said, standing on the ground with a cold smirk.

Kong's stamina still surpassed Patri Vic's—if they kept fighting, the outcome was obvious.

After all, he was Navy Admiral Kong, with terrifying strength and endurance.

Even Patri Vic as he was now couldn't defeat him.

"But the little stamina I have left is enough to escape," Patri Vic replied, glancing at him calmly.

"Is that so? I think you're walking into prison today," Kong said, suddenly charging at Patri Vic.

Kong had originally wanted to kill Patri Vic, but he found him too tenacious—killing him wouldn't be easy.

After a full day and night of fighting, he'd worn down Patri Vic's stamina. If he could capture him alive, he naturally wouldn't kill him.

After all, he was very interested in the secrets of Patri Vic's body—if he could study the Devil Fruit's mystery from it.

Then without a doubt, the Navy Headquarters' strength would become unprecedentedly powerful.

They had enough funds to buy up Devil Fruits in bulk across the New World.

Then, using two freakish Devil Fruits to train Navy elites, their Navy's power would unquestionably rule the entire New World!!!

"Water Style: Water Severing Wave!"

Patri Vic spat out a straight, ultra-high-pressure water jet, turning it into a sharp water blade that shot toward Kong at terrifying speed.

Kong sensed the danger. He wanted to dodge with Shave, but he was too close to Patri Vic to use it instantly.

He quickly coated his entire body in Armament Haki, crossing his arms in front of him.

The terrifying ultra-high-pressure water jet—though its attack range was narrow and linear, making it easier to dodge—was undeniably powerful.

"Boom!"

Kong's body crashed to the ground, carving out a sizable crater.

Defeating Kong with an attack like that was impossible.

Patri Vic had no intention of prolonging the fight with Kong either.
