Special Justice

The appearance of Gizas Burgess surprised many people, who clearly did not expect Blackbeard to actually send someone.

"I know this guy!" Luffy said with a grim face.

"Of course I know them."

Xi Yan frowned and said, "After all, this guy is one of Blackbeard's men."

They encountered this guy back in the Underwater Great Prison, and he remembered slapping him back then.

Then, Xi Yan looked down at Luffy and said, "Be prepared to face Blackbeard himself this time."

Do you think he'll come?

"It's only a possibility," Xi Yan nodded.

After all, the other side's crew members are already here, so it's not surprising that he himself is showing up.

Seeing that Xi Yan had said so, Luffy's expression also became serious.

"If he really comes, I'll beat him to a pulp!" Luffy said seriously.

He still has a score to settle with Blackbeard, and if he ever encounters him, he will show no mercy!

"Hey, hey, hey, do you two know what you're saying?" The people around them stared blankly at Luffy and his Luffy. Did these two even know what the Four Emperors were?

They actually said they wanted to beat Blackbeard to a pulp?

Are you kidding me?

Unfortunately, neither Xi Yan nor Luffy paid any attention to what these people were saying, and they didn't even give them a glance.

Right now, all they're thinking about is how to deal with this guy named Burgess when they encounter him later.

Meanwhile, Franky, sitting in the Audience seats, was looking at Burgess with a frown.

"I didn't expect there to be such a Lihai guy here."

The number one captain of the Blackbeard Pirates, his strength is definitely not weak.

"So what?" Merry said nonchalantly, "Don't forget who's participating in this competition."

While the crew members of the Four Emperors are certainly formidable, their opponents are not the Four Emperors themselves!

So those two should have no problem winning the championship.

Franky blinked upon hearing this, and it did seem to make sense.

Realizing that nothing unexpected would happen, Franky picked up Merry and planned to leave with her to find the Factory, and also to see if they could get some useful information from Xi Yan's clone.

"Hey, wait a minute," Kyros said, grabbing Franky's leg. "I'm going too."

"You're in my way," Franky said speechlessly, looking at Kyros was grabbing his leg. "We have important business to attend to right now, we don't have time to waste here."

"I want to talk to you."

"What's there to talk about? Don't talk to me if you don't know where the Factory is." Franky shoved Kyros aside and said, "Don't delay me from finding the high-ranking Donquixote Family officials; I still need to interrogate them..."

"Shh, don't talk about this kind of thing here!"

Startled Kyros quickly jumped up and covered Franky's mouth, then said, "Be careful of your surroundings!"

"This is a sensitive topic!"

He actually brought up this topic right here; is he serious?

Franky was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, and then noticed the way the people around him were looking at him.

"This is..."

"It seems that in their eyes, the Donquixote Family is an incredibly sacred existence," Merry said softly.

Otherwise, these people wouldn't have shown such angry expressions.

Franky clearly realized this as well, and his expression became slightly embarrassed.

"Alright, let's go somewhere else to talk," Kyros said softly. "We can discuss anything after we leave here."

"Good."

This time, Franky didn't argue, but obediently led Kyros and Merry away.

Only after the three had disappeared did the others finally turn their attention away.

"What's going on with these three guys?"

"Probably just some petty scoundrels plotting something strange again," one man guessed. "It's alright, ignore them. The Donquixote Family will take care of them anyway."

"That's true."

After all, in Dressrosa, the Donquixote Family is the ultimate authority!

Having realized this, these people stopped thinking about Franky and his group and instead focused their attention on the competition field.

Watching the game is more important.

"I didn't expect even one of the Four Emperors to come," Fujitora said slowly as he rose. "This time, there's truly a wealth of talent."

"Mr. Issho?"

"Let's go," Fujitora Issho said, picking up his Cane Sword. "Let's get out of here first."

After saying this, Fujitora turned and left the Fighting Arena with his adjutant.

After the two men came outside, the adjutant continued, "What are your plans for the next step?"

Fujitora didn't answer the question, but instead looked at the little girl who had fallen to the ground in front of him.

After using the power of his Press-Press Fruit to retrieve the balloon that had flown away, Fujitora returned it to the little girl with a smile.

"Little girl, are you alright?" Fujitora said. "Here, take this balloon."

"Yes, I'm fine." The little girl happily took the balloon and said, "Thank you, uncle!"

"Hehe, you're welcome."

After watching the other person leave, Fujitora's smile became even gentler.

What an adorable little guy.

"Mr. Issho, please put on your coat first," the adjutant said.

"Ah, thank you very much."

"It's alright, it's what I should do."

The adjutant smiled, "Mr. Issho 're still so polite."

As he was thinking, he helped Fujitora put on the Admiral's cloak, a garment unique to Marine Admiral.

At this moment, Fujitora's demeanor completely changed.

He was no longer that seemingly mild-mannered old man, but a dignified-looking Marine Admiral!

"Let's go."

Fujitora picked up his Cane Sword and walked forward step by step, saying, "Tell them to send three more warships."

"We'll just stay here for now... um, what's that place called again?"

"It's Green Bit," the adjutant said.

As his adjutant, he was fully aware of every detail of this mission.

"Okay, let's go there then." Fujitora nodded and said, "I heard there are some strange Fighting Fish there."

"Hehe, that kind of thing is no threat to you," the adjutant chuckled.

The Fighting Fish, a monster capable of destroying warships, might be invincible to others, but to a true monster like Marine Admiral, it's just a larger fish.

Well, catching just one is enough to feed the whole boatload of people.

Fujitora didn't say much after hearing his adjutant's words, since what the adjutant said was indeed true.

Even Sea Kings are just bigger fish to him.

"Oh, right," Fujitora said, as if remembering something, "Have them bring more medical personnel."

"We can't afford to cause any casualties."

"Uh... yes, I understand."

Although he didn't know why Mr. Issho would make such a request, he still chose to comply.

"I asked you to investigate the number of spectators at the duel and the population of this town. How's the investigation going?" Fujitora inquired.

"It's been investigated, but..."

The adjutant hesitated for a moment, then said, "Shouldn't we be investigating the enemy's numbers?"

Although he had investigated as requested, he still couldn't understand the other party's thinking.

Only by investigating the number of enemies can we wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Hearing his adjutant's words, Fujitora stopped and then said in a deep voice, "Investigating the number of enemies is not wrong, but... shouldn't we first count the number of people who need protection, rather than the number of enemies?"

Rumble!

Upon hearing this, the adjutant froze on the spot, as if struck by lightning.

At that moment, he was deeply shaken.

Is it that Mr. Issho cares more about the civilians who need protection than the enemy?

The adjutant's body began to tremble as he looked at the two words on the man's back.

Is this... Admiral Fujitora's justice?

"Yes, I understand!" the adjutant said solemnly. "I will do my best to find out the exact number of people who need protection!"

At that moment, the adjutant fully felt the Marine Admiral's sense of justice.

He then took out Den Den Mushi and began contacting the Marines scattered throughout Dressrosa, precisely issuing all of Admiral Fujitora's orders.

Soon, a group of marines in naval uniforms gathered around Fujitora and accompanied him as he walked towards the street in the distance.

"Navy?"

Seeing the large groups of naval personnel appear, the unsuspecting citizens were all stunned.

Why are there so many naval personnel here?

Could it be... that they've come to capture His Majesty the King?

No, that's not right. A previous announcement stated that His Majesty the King did not actually resign from the King, so these people couldn't possibly be here to arrest His Majesty the King.

Thinking about this, these people gradually calmed down.

"What a peaceful scene..." Fujitora, sensing the emotions of those around him, said with a complex expression, "But it's a pity that behind this peace..."

Upon entering Dressrosa, he had already sensed some things using his Observation Haki.

But for the sake of his goal, he had no choice but to endure it for the time being.

"Mr. Issho, what did you say?"

"Nothing."

Fujitora shook his head, then asked, "How's the investigation into Fire Fist Ace going?"

"This..."

The adjutant looked troubled and was momentarily speechless.

"Speak."

"We didn't find any trace of the Spade Pirates in Dressrosa," the lieutenant said awkwardly. "We don't know if they hid too well or if they never even came."

After entering the island, they tried their best to find each other, but unfortunately, they found nothing.

"No...?"

Fujitora frowned slightly, clearly somewhat dissatisfied with the news.

After all, for him, capturing the Son of the Pirate King would effectively curb the arrogance of pirates, which would benefit the civilians on the sea.

But since we haven't found any trace of them yet, let's leave it at that and deal with things here first.

Thinking this, he was about to give the order, but before he could open his mouth, the Den Den Mushi in his arms rang.

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Um?"

Looking puzzled, Fujitora took out the Den Den Mushi from his pocket, clearly not expecting anyone to call him at this time.

Could it be Heavenly Yaksha or Mr. Sakazuki?

With that thought in mind, Fujitora answered the phone.

"Kaga ~"

"I am Issho," Fujitora said in a deep voice.

"Admiral Fujitora, we've spotted the Spade Pirates!" a Marine exclaimed excitedly in a low voice. "They're on an island near Dressrosa, currently battling the Big Mom Pirates."

As he spoke, he tried to shrink himself further, afraid that he would be discovered by the two pirate crews.

After all, for a scout like him, being discovered meant death!

"Fighting with the Big Mom Pirates?" the lieutenant asked, dumbfounded. "Why?"

Why would these two pirate crews fight at such a particular time?

Fujitora wore a thoughtful expression, then, as if he had thought of something, the corners of his mouth began to gradually turn up.

But considering his status, it wouldn't be appropriate to laugh out loud, so he forcibly suppressed it.

"Although we don't know why they started fighting in another place, it's easier now that we have their whereabouts," Fujitora said.

"Are you planning to come in person?" the scout asked excitedly.

Will he be able to witness Admiral Fujitora's battle firsthand?

"No," Fujitora shook his head and said, "I have more important things to do."

Upon hearing this, the scout's expression froze.

Aren't you coming?

What if I don't get any missions?

The Marshal personally ordered the capture of the Spade Pirates.

At this moment, Fujitora seemed to remember something and said, "Right, now that we've confirmed their location, there's no need to take any more risks."

"You should leave that island immediately. I'll have someone handle this matter later."

"Who can handle these two pirate crews..." the scout said with a bitter expression.

If even the Admiral aren't coming, who's going to bring good fortune?

Vice Admiral?

To put it bluntly, Vice Admiral fighting against the Four Emperors Crew would be like sending them to their deaths.

What's more, he also has the Son of the Pirate King...

"Smoker is right here with me," Fujitora said in a deep voice.

These words rekindled hope in the scouts' eyes.

If that person were here, capturing the Spade Pirates wouldn't be a problem at all!

Thinking of this, he excitedly said, "Yes, I understand!"

"Leave there first, and be extremely careful to ensure your safety."

"Clear!"

"Kaga ~"

After ending the call, Fujitora put away the Den Den Mushi.

"Remember to tell Smoker about this."

"Yes!"

"Ha?"

Upon receiving the notification, Smoker's face immediately darkened.

He had originally planned to go to the island to capture the Straw Hat Pirates after receiving the message.

Instead of receiving orders to capture the Straw Hat Pirates, he was instead sent to capture someone else?

"You want me to capture some Spade Pirates?" Smoker roared. "Are you kidding me?"

"But this is Admiral Fujitora's order..." Tashigi said somewhat awkwardly, "And this is also an order that Marshal Admiral once gave."

"Then we'll catch them later," Smoker said coldly.

Once he takes down the Straw Hat Pirates, he'll naturally have time to deal with the Spade Pirates.

As for now?

Not interested!

"But their orders..."

Tashigi was in a dilemma. Although she agreed with Mr. Smoker's suggestion to protect the citizens of Dressrosa first, it was, after all, an order from above.

"Don't give me orders. I've disobeyed orders more than once or twice."

"And... more than the Spade Pirates, I'm more concerned about whether Doflamingo and those pirates will harm the civilians of Dressrosa!"

Tell them I'm busy right now!
