The Central Figure of the Battlefield, Patri Vic (Seeking Flowers)

The full cadre of the Rocks Pirates clashed once more with the top brass of the Navy Headquarters.

But this time, the Rocks Pirates weren't looking for a prolonged fight—they fought while retreating.

After all, the Navy had dispatched no shortage of strong fighters this time. Even if they ultimately won, the Rocks Pirates would still lose a significant number of their elite officers.

Kong first drove back Silver Axe, then turned his attack toward Patri Vic.

Patri Vic was currently very weakened—this was an opportunity for Kong, one he had to seize to finish him off.

Because Patri Vic's ability was far too monstrous; someone like that couldn't be allowed to live.

"Shave!"

Whitebeard suddenly appeared in front of Patri Vic.

He swung Murakumogiri, unleashing a heaven-defying sword qi brimming with boundless power, sending it surging toward Kong.

"Shave!"

Kong stepped through the air, dodging the sword qi strike, then charged at Whitebeard.

Whitebeard showed no fear. White currents of air gathered on Murakumogiri as he gripped it with both hands and slammed it heavily toward Kong.

"Boom!"

Kong swung his Haki-coated fist to meet the blow. The two incomparable forces collided, shattering the ground around them into cracks and fissures.

The space in midair fractured like broken glass, dense cracks spreading outward without pause.

"Whitebeard!" Kong's forehead veins bulged as he pushed more force into his arm.

"Gurarara... So this is the power of a Navy Admiral?" Whitebeard laughed.

"Captain Rocks, time to board the ship!" Golden Lion flew onto the vessel and shouted to the others.

"Don't let Patri Vic escape!" Kong called out to the nearby Navy high-ranking officers as he fought Whitebeard.

As Kong's words fell, many Navy officers surrounded Patri Vic.

"Ding, random quest issued: As the inheritor of the [God of Ninjas], you must make your name known in this battle, searing it into the world's memory. Quest reward: Hashirama Senju character completion +0.3%!"

The further along he went, the slower the progress on unlocking template abilities became, and Hashirama Senju's completion naturally lagged.

Now that such a quest had appeared, offering a direct 0.3% completion boost, Patri Vic found it tempting.

The system's intent seemed to be for him to fully establish his reputation in this battle.

"I've got a little stamina left." Patri Vic took a deep breath.

"Wood Style Wood Golem Technique!"

Beneath Patri Vic's feet, a massive wooden golem suddenly emerged.

Its body was enormous, its face fierce with fangs, a Wood Dragon coiled around it, and an intimidating aura radiated from its entire form.

"Wh-What is that?"

Many of the Navy's top officers broke out in cold sweat at the sight of such a colossal wooden golem.

"He still has an ability like this?" A bead of cold sweat appeared on Kong's forehead.

"That aura—it's extraordinary." Golden Lion floated above the ship, staring at the massive wooden golem on the island.

"He's already reached this level of power? Patri Vic!" The Fleet Admiral couldn't help but fix his gaze on the giant wooden golem.

Instantly, the focus of the entire battlefield shifted to the golem Patri Vic had summoned.

Faced with the enormous wooden golem Patri Vic had unleashed, no one was left unshaken.

Standing atop the giant golem's head, Patri Vic swung its massive fist, brimming with terrifying destructive force, at the Navy's high-ranking officers.

"Boom!"

One punch landed, and the entire sea instantly boiled over. Waves churned around them, sending seawater dozens of meters high crashing toward the island.

"Vic!" Whitebeard shouted in alarm at the surging wave.

He didn't know what kind of Devil Fruit user Patri Vic was, but if he got caught in that seawater, it would be disastrous.

Because all Devil Fruit users were helpless in water.

"Are you paving your own path to death by releasing such an ability?" Kong sneered from a short distance away.

The wave had already arrived. Unless Patri Vic's wooden golem could fly, there was no way to dodge it.

"Lion, Chigiri Valley!"

Golden Lion floated midair and attacked the wave. As long as his sword qi touched the seawater, he could manipulate it.

"Shishishishi!!!"

On the other side, a Navy swordsman expert swung his own sword qi, blocking Golden Lion's attack.

The wave rolled in, instantly swallowing Patri Vic, who stood atop the golem's head. Everyone expected that once he touched seawater, his ability would vanish.

But the golem still stood tall. Though Patri Vic's body was drenched in seawater, his expression remained calm, as if the water had no effect on him.

The entire scene fell silent, as if time itself had been frozen, and it was only when the waves receded that they snapped back to reality.

Seawater was ineffective against Patri Vic!

"Quick, Fleet Admiral, you have to kill him, forget about Rocks!" Kong shouted, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

A man who possessed six Devil Fruits and was unafraid of seawater.

In the future, he would surely become a demon of this sea.

He had to be eliminated immediately!

Kong stepped through the air, charging toward Patri Vic to attack.

Standing atop the giant wooden golem's head, Patri Vic manipulated it to swing its fist at Kong.

"Boom!"

The wooden golem's fist collided with Kong's, once again sending waves dozens of feet high into the air.

The ground beneath the golem's feet caved in, the terrifying force shaking everyone present.

The Fleet Admiral had shifted his focus away from Rocks.

Instead, he was desperate to eliminate Patri Vic.

"Hahaha... Where do you think you're going, Fleet Admiral?" Rocks blocked the Fleet Admiral's path, laughing savagely.

The two were evenly matched in strength, so Rocks could naturally hold the Fleet Admiral back.

"Move aside!" the Fleet Admiral said coldly.

"Are you ordering me?" Rocks sneered.

Though the Fleet Admiral wanted to break free, he was obstructed by Rocks.

"At any cost today, kill Patri Vic!" the Fleet Admiral shouted to the many high-ranking officers around him.

The Marine elites who had been entangled with the Rocks Pirates' executives instantly shifted their target, focusing on Patri Vic.

"Protect Patri Vic with everything you've got! When this is done, five billion Berry each!" Rocks yelled to his executives.

Patri Vic's terrifying strength and rate of improvement.

Made Rocks see hope of dragging the Celestial Dragons down from their pedestal in the future.

"Ikoku!"

Charlotte Linlin stood atop Zeus, swinging the sword Napoleon in her hand.

The blade scraped against the air, emitting faint bursts of air compression, as if the very space was being torn apart.

The supreme Sword Qi surged like an avalanche, crashing toward the Marine elites.
