Little Elf Merry, Reporting for Duty!

"It's so hot!"

"It's so hot!"

Franky cried out, 'struggling' as he twisted and turned, looking as if he were in unbearable pain.

"Great! We've set this guy on fire!" the Navy exclaimed excitedly. "It worked!"

"It's a success!"

Burn him!

"Profound!"

Since we can't capture this guy alive, we'll have to kill him!

Upon hearing these words, Franky twisted his body even more Lihai.

"I'm going to burn to death!"

"I'm going to burn to death!"

"Yes... Ha, just kidding~"

Franky, engulfed in flames, calmly said, "You really think this toy-like thing can take me down?"

"Stop joking!"

"Super!"

The next moment, the flames on Franky's body went out completely, leaving not a trace.

Perona breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, then said helplessly, "What a perverse person."

Let's see if she survives the burn; you're making her worry for nothing.

The navy personnel stared dumbfounded at Franky, never expecting that this guy could be fireproof.

That's so unfair!

"That damned bastard..."

If these weapons are useless, what weapons are they supposed to use to deal with this guy?

"Hmm, my hair's a mess." Franky touched his hair and said, "Wait a minute, let me change my hair."

"Hmm... which hairstyle should I get this time?"

As he spoke, Franky pressed his nose and started changing his hair.

The next moment, his hair underwent an astonishing change, instantly transforming into the shape of a star, leaving the Navy completely stunned.

"This one?" Franky thought for a moment, then said, "No."

As he spoke, he continued to change his hairstyle, eventually reverting to his original large, bushy haircut.

"Yes, this one is still the best."

"Are you kidding me...?"

The Navy glared at Franky through gritted teeth. Was this guy toying with them?

"Alright, let's continue." Franky grinned. "I won't run away or hide."

"Come on, let's go all out, Marines!"

"Kill him!"

"Profound!"

Without further ado, the marines picked up their weapons again and began firing, relentlessly striking Franky's body, but unfortunately... their weapons still couldn't break through Franky's defenses.

"Can't you run away or hide...?"

Seeing Franky standing still, taking all the attacks, Senor Pink suddenly grinned.

At that moment, he felt as if he had seen someone like himself.

"You are too weak."

Franky laughed and said, "Don't you have any stronger attacks?"

The Vice Admiral glanced at him upon hearing this, then said coldly, "Then let me test your skills."

That guy in the sky won't be coming down anytime soon, so he can take advantage of this moment to deal with this Cyborg.

With that in mind, the Vice Admiral took a few steps forward, clearly intending to take down Franky first.

"Oh ho~"

"Is the big guy going to attack me?" Franky grinned. "Then you'd better give it a try."

"You'd better prepare yourself, you bastard." The Vice Admiral raised his greatsword and said, "My strikes can cleave warships in two!"

After saying that, the Vice Admiral ruthlessly swung his weapon at Franky.

The next moment, a terrifying Flying Slash shot out from the weapon, heading straight for Franky was not far away.

"Clang!"

The terrifying Flying Slash struck Franky's arms, sending him flying and crashing heavily into the wall behind him.

"Whoosh~"

"Boom!!"

"As expected of the Vice Admiral!" the navy personnel behind shouted excitedly.

"Anyone hit by that kind of slash that can slice through warships is definitely dead!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Clearly, the Navy did not believe that this Cyborg could withstand their Vice Admiral's Flying Slash.

"Huh~"

Having just arrived, Dellinger looked at the ruins in the distance and said, "Is it over as soon as I get here?"

He was originally thinking of joining in the fun, but the enemy was wiped out as soon as he arrived?

How boring.

"Not necessarily," Senor Pink said calmly.

This kind of man might not necessarily be taken down by a Vice Admiral.

As if to prove his words, Franky burst out of the ruins the next moment.

"Boom!!"

"Super!"

"What?!"

Seeing the unharmed man, the navy personnel were visibly shocked. This man hadn't been killed?

How is that possible?!

That's a slash that can even cut through a warship!

The Vice Admiral looked at Franky with great surprise, clearly not expecting that the guy could survive after taking a knife from him.

"I'm not going to be taken down so easily, Lieutenant Vice Admiral." Franky grinned. "If you want to kill me, you'll have to use a more powerful attack."

As he spoke, Franky waved to the Vice Admiral, a gesture that was clearly provocative.

"They're really tough," the Vice Admiral said, frowning.

It seems that killing this guy won't be an easy task.

Fine, let's fight a war of attrition and see who falls first.

"Lieutenant Vice Admiral, it's my turn this time." Franky said with a smirk, "I'll pay you back double!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Franky raised his left hand and pointed it at the Vice Admiral, simultaneously preparing his attack.

"Give this move a try."

"Wind, come... Cannon!"

"Boom!!"

An incredibly terrifying air cannon flew from Franky's hand, blasting away all the marines in front of him except for Vice Admiral!

The Vice Admiral himself was slid backward by the blast, his face turning extremely pale.

He was actually defeated by a guy with a bounty of less than 100 million Beli?

"Tsk."

Having witnessed all of this, Senor Pink remarked, "It seems that leaving everything to the Navy isn't a viable solution."

"That's what makes it interesting!" Dellinger bared his fangs and said, "Leave him to me."

I've finally found such an interesting punching bag, I have to go up and hit it.

Don't get too cocky.

"Huh?"

Dellinger, who had just been reprimanded by Senor Pink, paused for a moment, then said with displeasure, "What kind of tone is that?"

What does it mean to not get carried away with success?

What's wrong with him?

"Our opponent isn't just a robot, but a monster on par with you," Senor Pink said calmly. "So... we must be extra careful."

"Huh?"

Dellinger paused again, wondering if this guy was concerned about him.

But this awkward way of showing concern...

Ah~

"Senor Pink ~"

The women nearby excitedly approached Senor Pink, exclaiming, "How tough!"

"Not only tough, but also very gentle!"

"So you really care about me."

Dellinger rubbed his head in exasperation; this guy's way of showing concern was really awkward.

After shaking his head, Dellinger turned his gaze to Franky, pondering how to deal with this Cyborg later.

After thinking for a moment, Dellinger grinned and said, "Let's just kick him to death."

Then, Dellinger disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of Franky.

"Varied...?!"

Seeing Dellinger appear before him as if teleported, Franky's pupils shrank to their limit. Was this guy's speed really that terrifying?

"Die!" Dellinger roared.

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his long leg out with all his might, aiming straight for Franky's head.

Just then, a gust of wind rushed down from above and landed precisely on Dellinger's leg.

"Bump!"

"What?"

Sensing just how powerful the attack was, Dellinger's pupils instantly shrank to their maximum size.

There are actually experts here?

The next moment, Dellinger, struck by the attack, was sent flying and slammed heavily into the wall to the side.

"Boom!!!"

Having witnessed the entire event, Senor Pink subconsciously frowned, then focused his gaze on the air.

"And who is it?"

"What happened?"

Several question marks appeared above Franky's head. He hadn't even seen what happened before the other person was sent flying.

"It's Merry."

Perona, who quickly descended from mid-air, laughed and said, "She's here to help you."

"Merry?"

Franky looked somewhat surprised; wasn't the other guy supposed to be with Zoro helping Luffy and the others?

What brings you here all of a sudden?

Hopefully, this won't affect Xi Yan and the others' plans.

"I am coming."

Merry swiftly flew down from the sky, but just before reaching the ground, she suddenly switched to a slow-moving flight, gently landing in front of Franky.

Then, she smiled at Franky and said, "Are you alright?"

"No."

Franky shook his head, then said, "Merry, weren't you going with Luffy...?"

Merry naturally understood what Franky meant; he was asking her if coming here to help wouldn't affect Luffy and the others.

"Don't worry, my presence here won't cause any problems."

"That's good."

Franky breathed a sigh of relief, then grinned and said, "Let's turn the world upside down together!"

"Profound!"

Merry smiled and nodded, then turned and glared fiercely at the enemies, saying, "You're not allowed to bully my comrades!"

It just looks fierce; it's really not that dangerous.

"So cute..."

"Idiot, is this the time to be stirring up trouble?"

"But she's really cute."

"That's true, but the attack she just launched was terrifying."

Ignoring the whispers of his subordinates, the Vice Admiral frowned and said, "Is that little girl Merry, the apprentice of the Straw Hat Pirates?"

Seriously, whose interns are this terrifying?

Most importantly, this guy's bounty is only 100 Beli... only 100!

Which idiot set this bounty?

While the other person is indeed quite cute, it's unreasonable to set such a low bounty just because of that!

"Asshole!"

"Boom!!"

After knocking away the debris blocking his way with a single blow, Dellinger angrily exclaimed, "Who attacked me?!"

As he spoke, he jumped out of the ruins, his eyes fierce as he surveyed the entire battlefield.

Then, he focused his gaze on Merry, the little girl floating in mid-air.

"Is that you?!"

Although the other party was just a little girl who looked only a few years old, the cruel-hearted Dellinger did not treat her as a child.

After all... it's possible that the other party was the one who sent him flying just now.

"That's right, it's me."

Merry glared fiercely at Dellinger and said, "If you dare lay a hand on Franky again, I'll kill you!!"

"Kill me?"

Dellinger burst into laughter, clutching his stomach, as if he had heard a very funny joke.

Then, he lowered his head and looked coldly at Merry, saying, "You only managed to sneak up on me just now. Did you really think you could beat me?"

"Little brat!"

Although we don't know what Devil Fruit User this little girl is, how much stamina could a child who's only a few years old possibly have?

Given enough time, he can kill this guy.

"I'm not a little kid!" Merry retorted. "I'm a big kid!"

To this, Dellinger merely sneered and didn't respond.

But this attitude only made Merry angrier.

"Alright, alright, we don't need to argue with him." Perona quickly came to Merry's side and said, "This guy is just trying to annoy you."

"On purpose?"

Merry paused for a moment, then calmed down and said, "Then I won't be angry anymore, I'll make him angry to death."

"Hala hala hala~"

Perona was immediately amused by Merry's remarks. What did she mean by "not angry anymore"? She meant to make him angry to death!

Is it even possible to play like this?

Dellinger:...

This guy really is just a little brat; he suddenly didn't want to bother with him anymore.

"Don't be careless," Senor Pink suddenly said. "Although I don't know what's going on with this little girl, the attack she just unleashed was anything but weak."

Then, Senor Pink wondered to himself, 'Why don't we have accurate information about this little girl?'

'You know, we even know the general situation about that Cat Burglar who just ate the Cloud Cloud Fruit and the Sunglasses Man ate the Moku Moku no Mi.'

'But this little girl...'

Was it because everyone who knew about the little girl was silenced, or was the other party only informing their friends in the Straw Hat Pirates about the little girl?

Thinking of this, Senor Pink frowned.

However, these thoughts only appeared in his mind for a moment before disappearing. After all, no matter how powerful a little girl was, she couldn't possibly defeat so many of their cadres; there was a limit to her abilities.

As for Devil Fruit?

Even if the opponent's Devil Fruit ability is incredibly powerful, it's useless.

Without sufficient physical strength, no matter how powerful Devil Fruit ability is, it's impossible to protect oneself, just like... Sugar from their family.

Upon hearing Senor Pink's words, Dellinger immediately showed a displeased expression and said, "You make it sound like I would lose to a little girl."

That sounds a bit like looking down on someone, doesn't it?

"I didn't say that," Senor Pink said expressionlessly. "I just told you not to be careless."
