"Yes, Vice Admiral!"
The elite Marine Headquarters soldiers responded with a thunderous roar that echoed across the entire coast.
The grim, murderous atmosphere made the pirates' faces turn deathly pale.
Boom!
Rubble flew everywhere as Sophia emerged from the dust cloud. Staring at Noah's cold, indifferent gaze, she clutched the wound on her shoulder and roared in shock and fury:
"Have you lost your mind, you bastard?! My Shichibukai agreement was signed with the World Government! You actually dare attack me? Aren't you afraid your masters will find out and settle the score with you?"
Noah looked at her strangely, then smiled gently. "Thanks for your concern, but..."
"I don't think they'll find out."
Huh?
What did he mean?
Sophia froze for a moment, then suddenly recalled what Noah had said earlier. Her pupils shrank sharply, and her face changed completely—this guy was serious? He intended to silence everyone here, including her?
How could someone like this exist... To be this ruthless and vicious when he struck, could he really still be called a Marine?!
Even when the people from the G-5 branch had humiliated her, she hadn't tried to kill that Vice Admiral named Molly!
She had little time to think, because at that moment, the Marines below had already begun their extermination assault with furious roars. The pirates under her command instantly fell into a severe disadvantage.
Meanwhile, in midair across from her, Noah expressionlessly raised his index finger again.
Bzzz!
The air around his fingertip suddenly trembled, and dazzling pale-blue arcs of lightning surged toward her like roaring thunder dragons.
"Again?"
Feeling the terrifying destructive power contained within that lightning, Sophia dared not let her guard down. She gritted her teeth, crossed her arms before her, and poured all her strength into unleashing her strongest defensive technique.
