Cold-Blooded Akainu, a Merciless Attack!

"Everyone, we absolutely cannot let these pirates escape!" the Marine Rear Admiral exclaimed excitedly. "We must stop them!"

It's not just because the other party is a pirate, but also because the other party killed Celestial Dragons!

Such evil pirates must die!

"Clear!"

The sailors stared nervously ahead, many of them sweating profusely.

A pirate who dares to kill Celestial Dragons... what kind of madman is that?

When will Rear Admiral Billman arrive?

"They're already on their way," the communications officer said. "Admiral Kizaru and Akainu will arrive soon."

The Marine Rear Admiral was stunned for a moment, never expecting that two Marine Admiral would be dispatched at the same time.

However, this means the Straw Hat Pirates have no chance of escape!

Thinking of this, a smile immediately appeared on the Marine Rear Admiral's face.

"Squeak~"

Just then, the auction house Great Gate were pushed open, and two people walked out, their expressions completely indifferent, as if they didn't take these naval personnel seriously at all.

"It's... it's the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Straw Hat!"

"And the captain of the Heart Pirates, Trafalgar Law!"

"Both of them have bounties exceeding 100 million... Everyone be careful!" the Navy shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately raised their weapons and aimed them at the two men, their muscles tensing up.

"Wow, there are quite a few people here," Luo remarked, glancing around.

"Get out of the way, I can handle these guys," Luffy said.

Luo:???

Law glared at Luffy beside him and said, "Don't order me around!"

Does this bastard think they can intimidate him by killing Celestial Dragons?

He just didn't want to cause trouble, which didn't mean he was afraid.

Luffy ignored the guy and charged straight at him, intending to knock the Marine blocking his way away.

"Quickly, fire!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

A barrage of cannonballs hurtled towards Luffy, intending to blow him up.

Seeing this, Luffy grinned and said, "Gum- Capture Net!"

"Whoosh~"

With his arms crossed, he swung them forward with a mighty motion, instantly creating a giant rubber net that blocked all the shells.

Luffy then threw the cannonballs back.

"Here you go!"

"Cannonball... cannonball!!"

"Run, everyone!"

Seeing the shells flying back, the navy men were terrified and scrambled away from the cannons.

The next moment...

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

A large number of shells exploded, destroying the enemy's cannons and also taking down some of their navy.

"Ah!!"

"Hateful..."

The Marine Rear Admiral his teeth and said, "Don't be afraid, keep going! Just hold out until reinforcements arrive!"

"That won't do!"

Hearing the other party's words, Luo's lips curled up and he said, "We don't have time to waste here with you."

The Straw Hat Pirates killed three Celestial Dragons, Who Knows how many terrifying enemies will come? So... let's leave first.

Thinking of this, Luo immediately launched an attack.

"ROOM!"

Shambles!

"Puff!"

"Ah!!"

The sharp slashes easily severed the bodies of some of the navy personnel, tearing them to Chop-Chop and leaving them floating in the air.

But to their astonishment, after being cut open... they didn't die?

"What kind of bizarre ability is this?!"

The navy stared at Luo in shock, unable to understand how a person could survive after being cut open.

"Hehe, isn't it interesting?" Luo said with a smile.

"He really is a wicked pirate..."

The Marine Rear Admiral gritted teeth. Did this bastard think the navy was some kind of toy?

"Try this trick!"

As he spoke, Luffy put his thumb in his Barry and then blew on it forcefully.

The next moment, his hand expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually turning into a gigantic arm like that of the Giant Clan!

Gear Third!

"Rubber Giant Pistol!!"

"Boom!!"

The incredibly powerful attack sent a group of marines flying, creating a vacuum zone in the air.

"What terrifying power is this?!"

The Marines stared in horror at Luffy's enormous fist and asked, "Is he Giant Clan?"

The power of that punch... was absolutely terrifying!

"Hahaha, now you know how powerful I am!" Luffy said with a loud laugh.

As he spoke, he also deactivated his powers.

However, this also caused his body to shrink for a few seconds.

"What kind of ability user are you?" Luo asked, his lips twitching.

It can not only stretch its body freely, but now it can also grow bigger and smaller... It's practically like a rubber man.

"Ah, I'm Rubber Man who ate the Gum-Gum Fruit," Luffy grinned, showing his teeth.

Luo:...

It turns out he was right; this guy really is Rubber Man.

Just then, Xi Yan and the others came out of the venue.

"It's quite lively outside," Zoro remarked.

"These guys are really fast..."

"Really."

Sanji looked around in confusion. It hadn't been that long since they killed the Celestial Dragons and came out.

So... that's how many navy personnel came?

"Maybe they were already nearby," Nico Robin said.

"Cut..."

Upon hearing this, Xi Yan spat and said, "That's truly rotten to the core."

These naval personnel are clearly nearby, yet they seem to be turning a blind eye to this so-called human trafficking operation... Are they deliberately protecting this area?

That's really... disgusting.

As he pondered this, Xi Yan followed his companions to the open space.

"Hey, Luffy, come here, we're leaving."

"Um?"

Hearing Xi Yan's words, a question mark popped into Luffy's head. Wasn't he working hard to leave right now?

How can we leave without defeating all these naval forces?

However, trusting Xi Yan, Luffy obediently returned.

"What is this guy going to do?"

Luo glanced at Xi Yan with suspicion. Was the other party going to use Ninja techniques?

Thinking of this, a hint of interest appeared in Luo's eyes.

He was genuinely curious about the Ninja's methods.

The navy also looked at Xi Yan with suspicion, wondering what the other side wanted to do.

"Xi Yan, what are you doing?"

"Of course we're leaving," Xi Yan said. "I have no interest in fighting them here."

Nico Robin said that this place is very close to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, which is where the Celestial Dragons live... There must be many powerful people here!

Now that the Celestial Dragons have died here, it's highly likely that some powerful figures will appear to intercept them.

To avoid this happening, we must leave this place first.

"All right."

Although Luffy was puzzled, he didn't say anything more and stood obediently beside Xi Yan.

"Although we don't know what you're up to, you're not leaving here!" the Marine Rear Admiral said. "We will definitely..."

"You talk too much nonsense."

"Bang!"

The next moment, Xi Yan threw out a Smoke Screen, obscuring their view.

Luo:???

No, is this how Ninja operate?

Use Smoke Screen to obscure vision?

What's the point of this?

However, the next moment's change caused Luo's expression to change.

"Boom!!"

Suddenly, a huge Water Dragon burst out of the smoke, carrying several figures, and flew away into the distance at an extremely fast speed.

Marine Rear Admiral:!!!

"Ah?!"

The Marine Rear Admiral was dumbfounded as he watched the Water Dragon fly out.

What kind of tactic is this?

They surrounded this place with so many people... and then the other side flew away??

What's this all about?

"That's Ninja's Water Release Technique!" Bepo exclaimed excitedly. "Captain, did you see that? It's Water Release Technique!"

This was the first time in his life he had ever seen Ninja use Ninjutsu, and it was exactly the same as the legends he had heard before!

This really excited the bear!

"Ah... I see it..."

Luo also said with a look of surprise, "This is really beyond my expectations..."

The opponent was able to conjure a Water Dragon out of thin air... Does that mean they can also manipulate seawater?

If that's the case, then the opponent's naval combat capabilities are quite terrifying, especially for Devil Fruit User like them.

'Looks like I can't fight these guys at sea after encountering them in the New World...' Law murmured to himself.

Otherwise, they will definitely be the ones who suffer.

"Wait..." Bepo suddenly realized and said, "Captain, they've escaped! What do we do now?"

If everyone had worked together, they could have dealt with these marines quickly, but... the Straw Hat Pirates escaped?

"What to do... of course, we have to fight our way out," Luo said.

They don't necessarily need to rely on the Straw Hat Pirates to break out; they can do it on their own!

As he pondered this, Luo glanced at Captain's Slave, Jambal, who was sitting at the entrance of the auction house.

"Would you like to come with me?"

As he spoke, Law used his Devil Fruit power to remove the collar from Jambal's body.

"The collar actually..."

"What kind of pirates are these? They actually dared to touch Celestial Dragons ' slaves! Don't let them escape!"

"Boom!!"

The moment they approached, Jambal moved.

The man slapped them hard, sending all the marines flying!

"It's an honor to be your subordinate!"

"Haha, let's go then," Luo laughed.

"Bepo, let's go!"

"Profound!"

After kicking a navy man away, Beli immediately followed his captain and broke out in another direction.

For a time, the navy really couldn't stop them.

"Commodore, we can't stop them."

"I know, I saw it," the Marine Rear Admiral said with a grim expression. "These Supernovas are indeed not so easy to deal with."

Even if they send hundreds of people this time, they still won't be able to capture them.

Thinking of this, the Marine Rear Admiral sighed.

"Commodore, what should we do?"

"Of course we'll keep chasing!" the Marine Rear Admiral said. "We absolutely can't let them get away!"

"Some of you go after the Heart Pirates, and the rest of you come with me to chase the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"Also, contact your colleagues and tell them to pay attention to the sky!"

The Straw Hat Pirates left this place on Water Dragon. Although they were very fast, as long as they didn't touch the ground, they would be seen.

All they need to do is follow the clues and get there.

"Yes!"

Soon, led by Marine Rear Admiral, they left the area and headed in pursuit of the Straw Hat Pirates.

However, just as they left the area of Number One Tree, they saw Billman rushing towards them using Geppo.

"Rear Admiral Billman!"

"Where are they?" Rear Admiral Billman asked as he landed on the ground. "Where is the Straw Hat Pirates?"

"They just left on Water Dragon, in this direction, didn't you see them?"

Billman:...

He did see something strange flying in the sky in the distance, but it was too far away to see what it was.

So... was that the Straw Hat Pirates who escaped?

Thinking of this, Billman said, "Come on, let's go after them!"

"Profound!"

On the other side, in the area where Galette was located.

"You mean Xi Yan and his group might provoke Marine Admiral?" Galette asked, frowning.

"Yes."

"The Ninja Bro wants you to leave here immediately," Lor said.

Where are they?

"I was at the location of Number One Tree before I left, but now... I don't know."

Galette paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. You can go now."

"Good..."

Lor breathed a sigh of relief; his mission was finally complete.

I wonder if the Ninja Bro managed to rescue the person.

After watching Lor leave, Galette frowned and said, "Could Marine Admiral be coming...?"

Saving one person wouldn't warrant attacking Celestial Dragons.

However... if the Straw Hat Pirates dared to trespass on Judicial Island, they might actually dare to do something like this.

Thinking of this, a look of worry appeared in Galette's eyes.

"No, I have to go check it out."

Without the slightest hesitation, Galette immediately stood up and ran towards the distance.

Meanwhile, on the main battlefield, Katakuri had already defeated Kid and the others.

"So strong..."

The Fire Breather, lying on the ground, looked at Katakuri with a face full of despair.

This man is too strong; even when they attacked together, they couldn't inflict any effective damage on him.

The opponent seemed invincible, able to precisely dodge all their attacks.

'If it weren't for the captain and Mr. Kira taking the hits, I'm afraid I would have...'

"Haven't lost consciousness yet?"

Katakuri glanced at his opponent, but he didn't pay any attention to him, and didn't even have the desire to finish him off.

In the end, they're nothing more than a bunch of small fry.

Just then, the Den Den Mushi in Katakuri's arms suddenly rang.

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Click~"

"Hello?"

"Is that Katakuri-daren?!"

"It's me," Katakuri said. "What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"

Looking at the Den Den Mushi, Katakuri subconsciously frowned. What could have made the other person so flustered?

It was at this moment that Katakuri noticed the Flying Fish Motorcycle flying in the distance.

'Isn't this... the guy who took Xi Yan away before?'

How did he get here?

"Katakuri-daren, something terrible has happened!" his subordinate exclaimed. "The Straw Hat Pirates killed Celestial Dragons, and soon Marine Admiral will be coming to hunt them down. Should we retreat now?"

"The Straw Hat Pirates killed Celestial Dragons?"

Katakuri was stunned. These guys actually killed Celestial Dragons?

At that moment, Katakuri recalled the image of that Three Sword Style swordsman.

That guy... he really dared to cut down Celestial Dragons.

If that woman hadn't intervened, the Celestial Dragons would be dead.

"Katakuri-daren?"

"Where did you get this information, and is it accurate?"

"Quite a few people escaped from No. 1 Auction House; the information came from those people."

"That's really true..."

Katakuri rubbed his temples, feeling a sudden headache.

Although the Celestial Dragons are easy to kill, the Marine Admiral you'll face next will be more troublesome.

"Get ready to set sail. We'll depart once we return," Katakuri said.

Although he is not afraid of Marine Admiral, it's best to avoid such sensitive times.

As for Xi Yan...

'Never mind, let's just take this guy away by force,' Katakuri thought to himself.

Regardless, this was the husband Galette had chosen, and also his future brother-in-law; he couldn't possibly stand idly by.

"Yes!"

After ending the call, Katakuri put the Den Den Mushi in his pocket and turned to walk towards his younger sister.

However, once he returned to his previous position, he immediately fell silent.

Because... his sister is missing!

"Galette?!"

"Galette!!"

Katakuri's voice echoed here, but there was no reply, as if the other person had disappeared.

Could it be...?

Katakuri's expression suddenly changed. Could it be that his sister had received a message from the Straw Hat Pirates and had gone to find Xi Yan on her own?

This silly little sister, she should at least have waited for him to come along!

If she were to actually encounter Marine Admiral, the Admiral might not be able to recognize Galette!

With that thought in mind, Katakuri quickly rushed towards the bridge to the side.

Coincidentally... he and Galette were not going in the same direction.

A moment later, the Fire Breather regained some mobility. He struggled to his feet and asked, "Is anyone able to move?"

"Have..."

Several people shakily got to their feet; they were all people who had been protected by their captain.

Although their injuries were very serious, now is not the time to worry about that.

"You all heard what that guy said, right?" the Fire Breather said. "We have to get out of here immediately."

"Let's go back to the ship first!"

"Profound!"

The group sprang into action, hoisting their crew members onto their shoulders and walking step by step toward the sea.

Fortunately... they weren't far from their pirate ship.

However, when they reached the beach, they were immediately filled with despair.

Because... their ship is burning!!

"Our ship!!"

"Damn it, who did this?!"

"Um?"

Standing on the beach, Akainu turned and glanced at the group, his eyes cold as he said, "Is this your ship?"

In other words... these guys are pirates!

"Admiral Akainu, they are the Kid Pirates from the South Blue." The first mate said in a measured tone, "Captain Kid, bounty 315 million Beli."

"Vice-Captain Kira, with a bounty of 162 million Beli, is this year's Pirate Supernovas."

"Supernovas, huh...?"

With a cold expression, Akainu nodded and then vanished from the spot in an instant.

When they reappeared, they were already above Kid and the others.

Clearly, Akainu had no intention of capturing him alive!

"Great Fire Breath!!"

The Devil Fruit power activated, and a giant magma arm appeared in the sky, slamming down towards Kid and the others!

His attacks are deadly from the very first move, showing no mercy!

"How can this be repaired?!"

The Fire Breather's eyes revealed his unwillingness. They could have left this place once they returned to the ship, but... but they just had to run into Marine Admiral Akainu!

God is unfair!!

"Boom!!"

The Magma Fist descended, engulfing the entire Kid Pirates and burning them to ashes.

With that, the Kid Pirates were completely wiped out!

Just then, a Marine ran over and said, "Excuse me, Admiral Akainu."

"We have lost track of Moria."

"Okay, I understand."

Akainu said, "Let's put Moria aside for now; the most important thing is to capture the Straw Hat Pirates."

"Aren't you going to capture Moria anymore?"

"This is an order from the World Government!!"

The Marines were somewhat stunned as they watched Admiral Akainu walk forward with a cold expression.

He had a feeling... his boss wasn't in a good mood.

"Alright, stop daydreaming and get on board." The adjutant patted him on the shoulder and said, "We'll catch Moria sooner or later."

"Clear!"
