"What's wrong?"

Hearing the commotion, Vice Admiral Momonga rushed out of the captain's cabin, frowning as he looked around and asked, "What happened?"

Why did the ship suddenly become so chaotic?

"Vice Admiral Momonga, it seems we've entered the devil's sea!" a navy officer exclaimed in terror.

Vice Admiral Momonga:???

Vice Admiral Momonga looked at his subordinate with a puzzled expression. What did he mean by entering the Devil's Sea?

Isn't this the Mobe Jemru Sea Area?

While the environment and climate here are indeed quite extreme, they don't quite deserve the title of "devil."

Just then, several Negative Ghost appeared in front of Vice Admiral Momonga, making eerie noises.

"Negative~"

"Negative~"

"Negative~"

"What the hell is that?" Vice Admiral Momonga Squirrel exclaimed, his pupils shrinking.

"It's a ghost!"

"It's a ghost!"

A naval subordinate standing nearby exclaimed in horror, "Vice Admiral, this is the ghost we just encountered!"

"I become incredibly negative whenever I'm touched by that person!"

"Negative..."

Hearing his subordinate's words, Vice Admiral Momonga quickly calmed down.

Then, he frowned and said, "Could there be Devil Fruit User nearby?"

He was more inclined to believe he had encountered a Devil Fruit User than something like a ghost.

With that in mind, Vice Admiral Momonga decided to unleash his Observation Haki to see if anyone was Devil Fruit User.

But before he could unleash his Observation Haki, he heard the sound of chains falling.

As if realizing something, Vice Admiral Momonga's expression changed, and he exclaimed, "This is bad! Someone is trying to rescue Panz Frye!"

As he spoke, Vice Admiral Momonga moved swiftly.

"Shave~"

"Whoosh~"

In the blink of an eye, Vice Admiral Momonga vanished from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were already at the edge of the warship.

"Who are these people...?"

Vice Admiral Momonga, who was staring intently at the raft, narrowed his eyes and exclaimed, "The Straw Hat Crew?"

Why are these guys here?

Didn't they just go to Fish-Man Island yesterday?

"Hey, Frying Pan Uncle!"

Looking at Panz Frye, whose hood he had removed, Luffy grinned and said, "We've come to rescue you~"

Lili looked at Panz Frye excitedly and shouted, "Pops!"

"Lili?"

Panz Frye was completely stunned when he saw Lili standing on Luffy's shoulder.

Why is my daughter here with this boy in the Straw Hat?

Who is the other party?

"Hey Luffy, the chains have been cut," Zoro said. "Let's prepare to retreat!"

"Profound!"

"Hey, that guy is Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro!" a Marine shouted. "He's from the Straw Hat Crew!"

This is a notorious pirate with a bounty exceeding one hundred million!

"It's not just the Straw Hat Crew." A pirate holding Sanji's Wanted Order pointed at Sanji and said, "There's another stranger!"

Who is he?

"Damn it, I'm Straw Hat Crew!" Sanji, opening his shark-like mouth. "I'm Sanji!"

"Black Leg Sanji?"

A few question marks appeared above the other people's heads; this didn't look like the Wanted Order.

After exchanging glances, the people immediately understood what was going on.

"He must have had plastic surgery!" the navy personnel exclaimed in unison.

"Damn it, who got plastic surgery?!" Sanji roared.

He's already very handsome, why would he need plastic surgery?

Do these bastards even know how to talk?!

"The Straw Hat Crew..."

Vice Admiral Momonga's adjutant, standing by the ship and watching Luffy below, said, "I heard Vice Admiral White Snake went to look for them. Did they miss them?"

"Perhaps," Vice Admiral Momonga said, frowning. "But now that I've encountered them, there's no reason for me to let them go."

After saying that, Vice Admiral Momonga took to the air using Geppo and rushed towards Luffy, clearly intending to capture Luffy and his Luffy right there.

"Straw Hat!" Vice Admiral Momonga roared, "This time, I won't let you escape again!"

"One Sword Style: Rat Flash!"

"Clang!"

"Varied...?!"

Seeing Zoro raise his weapon to block his attack, Vice Admiral Momonga's pupils contracted instantly.

How could his opponent actually block his slash?

"Vice Admiral Momonga, isn't he?"

Looking at Vice Admiral Momonga's somewhat familiar face, Zoro grinned and said, "I heard you're a skilled swordsman?"

A swordsman of Vice Admiral rank... don't let him down!

"Roronoa Zoro ..." Vice Admiral Momonga frowned. "You're here to rescue Panz Frye?"

"Isn't this obvious?"

After saying that, Zoro didn't give Vice Admiral Momonga nonsense and forcefully pushed him back with both hands.

They then launched an attack on the person.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Boom!"

"Hey, Green Algae Head -Sanji head," Sanji said, lighting a cigarette nearby. "We're not here to fight."

"I know," Zoro said without turning his head, "But we still have to spar."

He knew he wouldn't have time to linger here this time, so he didn't plan on engaging in a protracted battle; he just wanted to exchange blows.

This time, Sanji simply nodded and said nothing more.

"Lili, why are you here?" Panz Frye asked. "And who are they?"

"Of course I'm here to save you."

After Lili finished speaking, she pointed to Luffy to the side and continued, "As for those guys... they're my friends!"

He was willing to help her save her Pops, so calling him a friend wouldn't be wrong!

"Oh, you're friends."

Panz Fry smiled, clearly happy that his daughter had made a friend.

"I know you all have a lot to say right now, but this isn't the time for reminiscing," said Merry, who flew down from mid-air. "If you have something to say, let's leave here and talk about it."

It wouldn't be good if the navy really left us here.

"Good!"

Lili nodded, then looked at her father and said, "Let's go, Father, let's leave here first."

Although I have a lot to say, what Merry said makes sense, so let's leave here first.

"Good."

Although he didn't know what had happened to the little girl, Panz Fry was willing to believe in his daughter.

"Hey, who's this little girl?" A navy officer standing nearby stared at Merry in disbelief. "How can she fly?"

Is he a user who ate Devil Fruit?

Such a young ability user?

"I know, she's an apprentice in the Straw Hat Pirates!" The Marine who had been holding the Straw Hat Pirates' Wanted Order shouted, "A little girl named Merry, she looks about eight years old, bounty 100 Beli!"

The air fell silent the moment those words were spoken.

100 Beli?

Who set this bounty?

Isn't this number a bit too frivolous?

Thinking of this, the Navy's gaze towards Merry became somewhat strange.

"Damn it, so what if I have 100 Beli?!" Noticing the Navy's gaze, Merry immediately bristled, "I'm still pretty powerful even with 100 Beli!"

"I... Waaaaah..."

As she spoke, Merry started crying, lying in mid-air, looking like a pitiful little thing.

"This..." The navy officer who had just spoken said somewhat awkwardly, "Did I say something wrong?"

Seeing such a cute little girl cry because of his words... he felt so guilty.

Upon seeing this, a nearby navy officer immediately said, "Apologize right now, you bastard!"

"That's right, apologize to the cute little girl right now!"

"I... I'm sorry..." The navy officer who had spoken earlier bowed his head and apologized honestly.

Vice Admiral Momonga:...

Upon witnessing this scene, Vice Admiral Momonga was completely speechless.

Then, he roared, "What are you all doing?!"

"Those are pirates!"

"Fire! Take them down!"

They actually started spacing out just because the other person was a little girl... Are these guys idiots?

Do they even know what kind of pirate crew they're facing?

"Profound!"

The marines, having received their orders, snapped out of their daze and turned their cannons towards Luffy and his Luffy below, clearly intending to blast them to smithereens.

As for Merry?

They were not within their attack range.

"I won't let you succeed!" Having regained her composure, Merry raised her hand and said, "Feel my power!"

"Wind Impact!"

"Buzz~"

The next moment, an incredibly terrifying gust of wind burst forth from Merry's hand and slammed directly into the naval warship beside her.

"Boom!!"

The terrifying power blasted a large hole in the hull beneath the General Warship!

navy:???

The navy personnel were dumbfounded as they watched their warships begin to sink due to the attack by Merry.

Wasn't this little girl supposed to be only eight years old?

How could an eight-year-old girl so easily destroy their warships?

Is she eight years old?

This eight-year-old kid has such terrifying fighting power, you bastard!!!

"What a scary little girl," Vice Admiral Momonga said, frowning. "What kind of ability user is she?"

wind?

Could it be the Logia Wind-Wind Fruit?

If that's the case, then he's definitely a troublesome guy.

Just then, a torpedo flew out from the side and hit Panz Frye directly.

"Boom!!"

Panz Fry, who was hit by the torpedo, screamed in pain and then collapsed to the ground, clearly seriously injured.

"Where did this cannonball come from?" Luffy asked, dumbfounded.

The naval warships didn't fire a single shot.

"They flew out of the water." Merry, having lowered her little hand, frowned as she looked at the sea beside her and said, "It seems there's a third group of people."

"The third wave of people..."

Luffy was taken aback. Why was there a third wave of people?

While Luffy still in a daze, several more torpedoes flew out from the sea and accurately struck the Navy's warships.

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

Several shots blasted many large holes in the warship!

"It's over..."

The Marine Captain witnessed this scene turned green with rage.

With the ship's hull riddled with holes like this... it's bound to fall silent!

Vice Admiral Momonga, who had witnessed all of this, also looked rather grim.

"Could these be the people who specialize in attacking pirates?"

Vice Admiral Momonga turned to look in the direction the torpedoes had come from, his face grim, and said, "But why did they attack the Navy as well?"

Shouldn't their target be pirates?

Unable to understand what was going on, Vice Admiral Momonga chose to distance himself from Zoro, intending to observe the situation first.

Seeing this, Zoro didn't continue the pursuit. Instead, he turned to look at Merry and said, "Since a third wave has appeared, let's retreat."

As for those guys who dared to attack warships?

He'll leave it to the navy; he has no interest in helping them.

"Profound!"

Merry nodded, then turned to Panz Frye and asked, "Uncle, are you alright now?"

Luffy looked at Panz Frye with some worry, hoping that nothing would happen to him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to enjoy the delicious Paradise Cuisine.

"Ah... I'm alright." Panz Fry said with difficulty, raising his head. "Where's Lili?"

"Is she alright?"

"Pops, I'm fine," Lili said.

"That's good..."

Panz Fryer breathed a sigh of relief; he was glad his daughter was alright.

"Since everything's alright, let's leave here," Merry said.

After saying that, Merry activated her power.

"Get up!" Merry shouted.

"Buzz~"

"Boom!!"

The next moment, the huge raft carrying Panz Fry was lifted up by Merry and quickly flew into the air.

This scene left the navy personnel completely dumbfounded.

"Hey, why is the raft flying?"

What's going on?

"It must have been that little girl!" a navy officer exclaimed, pointing at Merry on the raft. "It's the power of Devil Fruit!"

"They can even lift such a huge raft..."

Vice Admiral Momonga said with a grim expression, "We really miscalculated."

Although he really wanted to use Geppo to fly up and chase after them, his subordinates might be killed by a third wave of people, so he had to give up.

As for Panz Frye... we'll catch him next time.

"They actually gave up...?"

Sanji, who was staring at Vice Admiral Momonga below, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Looks like everything's alright."

"Hahaha, operation a complete success!"

Seeing Merry cheering alongside Luffy, Zoro also showed a faint smile.

Just then, a figure flew over from a distance, moving at a speed comparable to a cannonball!

"Who goes there?!"

Sensing the killing intent, Luffy immediately turned to look behind him.

"You won't be taking this guy away!" Zuo Xiu shouted.

"Is he one of the third wave of attackers against the Marines?" Sanji frowned as he looked at the other man and asked, "Is he a pirate too?"

Are they planning to use their Straw Hat Pirates and these Marines to make a name for themselves?

"I'm not a pirate!" Xiu Zuo shouted, raising his fist as he charged towards the group. "I'm New Navy!"

"Whip Lock Fist!"

"Rubber Jet Rocket Cannon!"

"Bump!"

"Boom!!"

The two attacks collided, immediately unleashing a shockwave that dispersed much of the surrounding fog.

Xiu Zuo, who had stopped, looked at Luffy in surprise and said, "Such strong power."

"You're not bad either."

Xiu Zuo snorted upon hearing this, instinctively intending to retort, but before he could speak, he noticed the Straw Hat on Luffy's back.

"That straw Straw Hat... are you the Straw Hat?"

Xiu Zuo, who was suspended in mid-air using Geppo, clearly showed surprise in his eyes, obviously not expecting to encounter the Straw Hat Pirates here.

"Ah, it's me."

"That's perfect," Xiu Zuo said with a sneer. "It'll be a good opportunity for me to wipe you all out in one fell swoop!"

After saying that, Xiu Zuo prepared to attack Luffy.

But before he could even make a move, he sensed a terrifying killing intent.

"This is..."

After glancing at the bow and arrow in Merry's hand, a look of seriousness appeared in Xiu Zuo's eyes. How could this little girl give him a sense of danger?

Is this reasonable?

Although he didn't know what was going on, Xiu Zuo chose to trust his intuition and decisively activated Geppo to rush to the side.

At that moment, Merry's attack also flew out.

"The Wind Loss!"

"Whoosh~"

The spinning arrow, carrying terrifying kinetic energy, passed through the spot where Xiu Zuo had just been in the blink of an eye, flying towards the sea behind him and crashing straight into the surface!

The next moment...

"Boom!!"

The sea, Wind Loss, was blasted into a huge crater!

Xiu Zuo:!!!

Looking at the huge crater that had been created in the distance, Xiu Zuo was completely stunned.

Could this be an attack that a little girl who looks only eight years old could deliver?

Is this the true strength of the Straw Hat Pirates?

While Xiu Zuo was distracted, Merry Li quickly manipulated the wind to lift the raft and fly it away into the distance, giving Xiu Zuo no chance to pursue.

Seeing this, Xiu Zuo frowned and said, "Looks like there's no way we can catch up with these guys..."

But it's alright, he secretly placed a Vivre Card on the raft earlier, so finding the other person shouldn't be a problem.

With that thought in mind, Xiu Zuo gave up the pursuit of the Straw Hat Crew and instead flew towards the Marines below.

"Who are you...!"

Looking at the man who had landed in front of him, Vice Admiral Momonga frowned and said, "Xiu Zuo!"

"Oh~"

"I wondered who it was, turns out it's an old acquaintance." Xiu Zuo glanced at Vice Admiral Momonga and said, "I didn't expect to see you on this ship. What, you've been promoted to Vice Admiral?"

Vice Admiral Momonga didn't answer the question, but instead asked, "Xiu Zuo, were you the one who carried out all the attacks on the pirates before?"

"Balala~"

"That's right!"

Xiu Zuo laughed loudly and said, "I did all those things!"

"How about that? Well done, right?"

"Balala~"

Seeing Xiu Zuo laughing uncontrollably, Vice Admiral Momonga paused for a moment before asking, "Why would someone who was once an excellent Marine do something like this?"

"Is that all you want to know?"

"Answer me!"

"Then I'll tell you," Xiu Zuo said with a smirk, "Because I joined the New Navy!"

"New Navy?"

Upon hearing Xiu Zuo's words, Vice Admiral Momonga's face clearly showed a hint of surprise. What was that thing?

The other naval personnel also looked at Xiu Zuo with puzzled expressions, clearly unaware of any New Navy.

"That's right, it's the New Navy!" Xiu Zuo said, raising his head. "We, the New Navy, are a group of righteous people who have come together to eliminate the pirates of the New World!"

As a member of the New Navy, Xiu Zuo felt genuinely proud.

"To actually call yourself a righteous person..." Vice Admiral Momonga said with a dark expression, "What utterly shameless boasting!"

It's probably some kind of strange, ambitious organization built by some weirdo. He's seen way too many people like that.

But unfortunately... they will all be crushed by their navy and the World Government in the end!

Upon hearing Xiu Zuo Vice Admiral Momonga's comment about flowers, Shuzo scoffed and said, "That's still better than your Navy!!"

"We won't do what you do and send pirates to Underwater Great Prison, letting them eke out a living there."

"When facing pirates, what we need to do is to wipe them out completely!"

"In the name of Teacher Z, slay all the pirates of the New World!"

"Balala~"

As if he had thought of some lofty ambition, Xiu Zuo immediately burst into laughter, his expression becoming somewhat manic.

His frenzied behavior startled the surrounding navy sailors, causing them to take a few steps back.

'madman...'

This is the general reaction.

Vice Admiral Momonga's expression turned even uglier.

"Z..." Vice Admiral Momonga said, "You actually said Z?"

If I remember correctly, Z is...

"Balala~"

"That's right!"

"Hey, Mr. Xiu Zuo!" a New Navy quickly said, "This can't be said!"

Isn't this just handing over all their intelligence to the Navy?

This won't do!

"Huh?"

"That's true." Realizing what was happening, Xiu Zuo stroked his chin and said, "We really can't let them know about this."

"If that's the case..."

"Then let's kill them all!" Xiu Zuo sneered. "That way, no one will leak what I said."

"Balala la la~"

Seeing Xiu Zuo laughing wildly, Vice Admiral Momonga's expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

This is really not good news.

"Alright, it's time to send you on your way," Xiu Zuo said with a sneer. "After I've taken care of you, I'll go after the Straw Hat."

He'll kill both Panz Frye and the Straw Hat Crew!

In that case... he will become the second-in-command of the New Navy!

Balalala~

As if recalling a certain scene, Xiu Zuo's eyes became somewhat fiery.

"I won't let you succeed!!" Having calmed down, Vice Admiral Momonga coldly stared at Xiu Zuo and said, "In the name of justice, I will leave you here!"

"Yeah."

Upon hearing this, Xiu Zuo sneered and said, "Then let's see whose justice shines brighter between us!"

After saying that, Xiu Zuo quickly charged towards Vice Admiral Momonga.

"Die!"

You're the one who deserves to die!

"Clang!"

"Boom!!"

"Who exactly is that guy?"

Looking back at Usopp, he asked with some surprise, "Why would you attack the Marines?"

Is he a pirate who wants to make a name for himself by taking someone's head?

Or is it a grudge against the Navy?

"According to him, this person is some kind of New Navy," said Merry, who heard the voice through the Wind Force. "It seems he exists to eliminate pirates in the New World."

"Eliminate the pirates of the New World?" Perona asked, somewhat surprised. "Isn't that competing with the Navy for their jobs?"

"Obviously," Nico Robin said after a moment's thought. "That's probably why they started fighting."

They were vying for control over the pirates.

"The New Navy, huh?" Sanji dangling from his lips, exhaled a smoke ring and said, "I have a feeling these guys are a bit extreme."

"To even kill the Navy is definitely a bit extreme," Zoro said calmly. "However, this matter doesn't concern us much. As long as they don't provoke us, there's no need for us to pay them any attention."

"That's true."

The others nodded in agreement; that was indeed the case.

As long as the other party doesn't cause them trouble, they don't need to bother with this so-called New Navy.

It's best to leave it to the World Government to handle.

Subsequently, Merry accelerated the output of her abilities and quickly returned to the vicinity of the Thousand Sunny.

"Hey~"

Seeing the giant wooden raft flying overhead, Chopper jumped up, waving his arms and shouting, "You're back!"

"Yes, I'm back."

"Uncle has been saved too," Merry said with a smile.

"Amazing!"

"Is this the uncle who can make Paradise Cuisine?" Franky asked, looking at Panz Frye with curiosity.

This guy doesn't look like a pirate with a bounty of over 300 million Beli at all.

"That's right, it's him!" Luffy grinned, showing his teeth.

Seeing this, Xi Yan shook his head helplessly. He guessed that those navy men would never dream that their motive for saving people was just to get a meal.

"Um?"

Standing behind the raft, Usopp looked down with some confusion, picked up a dagger, and asked, "What's this?"

Why is there a piece of paper on this dagger?

Although he didn't know what was going on, Usopp instinctively felt that there might be something wrong with this thing.

With that thought, Usopp raised his hand and threw the dagger and paper into the sea.

After doing this, Usopp jumped back onto the Thousand Sunny from the raft.

Then, Merry placed the huge raft on the sea.

"Boom!!"

"Let's use grappling hooks to hold onto the raft," Franky said, bringing over two huge grappling hooks. "That way, Merry won't have to carry Uncle away."

After speaking, Franky paused for a moment, then looked at Panz Frye and said, "Uncle, is everything alright?"

If the other party agrees, Merry can save some energy.

"No problem."

Panz Fry smiled weakly and said, "I also use a raft to go out to sea, so using this won't be a problem for me."

"That's good."

Franky smiled, then used the two Hook Claw to secure them to the raft.

After finishing this task, Franky nodded and said, "No problem."

"Uncle, you usually travel by raft?" Chopper asked Panz Fry curiously. "Aren't you afraid of encountering terrible waves?"

Huge waves can easily appear on the open sea, and the raft could be capsized.

"I'm not Devil Fruit User either, so naturally I'm not afraid of that," Panz Frye said.

Chopper paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded and said, "That's true..."

If the other party is not Devil Fruit User, they won't lose stamina to the ocean, so it's normal that they're not afraid of the waves.

"Alright, let's chat after we're safe." Nami looked up at the now clear sky and said, "Let's get out of here first."

Neither treating the uncle nor cooking for him can be done here, so we need to find a safe place first.

"Profound!!"

Soon, propelled by the wind, the Thousand Sunny quickly carried the raft away from the area.

"Hmph, so that's where the pirate ship was hidden."

Watching the pirate ship gradually disappear into the distance, Xiu Zuo sneered and said, "What a bunch of audacious fools."

Aren't they afraid their pirate ship will be destroyed?

"Xiu Zuo, something terrible has happened!" A new pirate holding binoculars said with a grim expression, "They've thrown out the Vivre Card you threw out earlier."

"What?!!"

Upon hearing his subordinate's words, Xiu Zuo's expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

This was his only means of pursuing the Straw Hat Pirates.

As a result, the other party saw through it?

Could it be... that someone in the Straw Hat Pirates knows this too?

"What do we do now?" the subordinate asked. "Should we go after them?"

Xiu Zuo didn't speak, but glanced at the pirate ship that was almost out of sight.

After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "We can't catch up."

That pirate ship was so fast that even their submarine couldn't catch up.

So... we can't catch up.

"Then what should we do?"

"Then we'll deal with them later." After saying that, Xiu Zuo turned to Vice Admiral Momonga, whose face was grim, and said, "Let's take care of them first!"

No matter what, these naval forces must be dealt with!

As for the Straw Hat Pirates?

We can look for it later.

"Use Vivre Card to track down the enemy..." Vice Admiral Momonga frowned as he looked at Xiu Zuo and said, "If I remember correctly, this method is..."

You know too much!

Xiu Zuo, who had used Geppo to reach above Vice Admiral Momonga, threw a punch without hesitation, shouting, "So die!"

"Whirlwind Fist!"

"Then let's give it a try!" Vice Admiral Momonga shouted, "One Sword Style: Momonga Flash!"

"Clang!"

"Boom!!"
