Revolutionary Army Commander Bursts In

The crew of the Big Daddy Pirates, seeing their captain openly declare war on the Loguetown Marines, shed their disguises one by one and charged out with murderous intent.

Faced with a high-ranking Marine officer like Smoker, these bounty hunters might usually act timid, avoid the brunt of the conflict, or even flee to escape battle.

But when it came to hunting down mere foot soldiers, they felt no fear, rushing toward the Marines with wild excitement.

Roronoa Zoro, however, caught sight of a familiar figure among the Marines; this sword-wielding female Marine looked exactly like his childhood friend, Kuina.

He stepped forward instinctively to cross blades with her.

Yet, this female Marine was far inferior to Kuina, and her swordsmanship was somewhat chaotic, leaving him feeling rather disappointed.

Smoker, currently locked in combat with Daddy, grew increasingly furious as he watched Loguetown descend into total chaos, but he could do nothing to stop Daddy—in fact, he had to be careful not to be killed by him!

Daddy was vicious; his moves were all lethal strikes aimed at vital points, intended to take a life at every turn.

Furthermore, this bastard not only possessed a Seastone weapon but had also mastered Armament Haki, completely suppressing Smoker's combat capabilities!

The Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit, which had always been invincible in the East Blue, now required him to constantly remind himself not to rely too heavily on his elemental form, lest he be gravely wounded by Daddy!

"Hand over the Six Powers, and I might let you go this once!"

Daddy struck Smoker's chest with an Armament Haki-infused fist and said coldly; he did not want to linger in Loguetown for too long, as they planned to leave immediately after destroying the Barto Family and finding a chef!

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Do you think a righteous Marine would ever surrender or fear death?"

Smoker continued his assault on Daddy without a hint of fear; in his eyes, there was no such thing as retreat!

At worst, he would die a glorious death, and his coffin would be draped in the flag of honor!

"Then let's see if your reinforcements can arrive in time to save you!"

Daddy's expression turned increasingly icy, his eyes filled with murderous intent; he did not believe Aokiji Kuzan could appear in the East Blue again to save the day!

But the very next moment, it was as if the Goddess of Fate was mocking Daddy while favoring Smoker.

A tall woman wearing a red top hat, sporting short purple hair with straight bangs, and wearing sunglasses, appeared leisurely in the riot-torn Loguetown with a large flag strapped to her back.

"Trash! Scum! You useless fools! Pick up your weapons and kill these pirates!!"

Seeing Loguetown plunged into chaos and slaughter, the woman in red, who had originally only come to Loguetown to sample the cuisine, could no longer tolerate the tragic scene of burning, killing, and looting.

The commander of the Revolutionary Army East Army had voluntarily revealed her location.

Belo Betty began to wave her large red flag, activating the power of the Pump-Pump Fruit to boost the morale of the civilians being hunted and robbed by the pirates.

This instantly reversed the atmosphere of the battle in Loguetown.

Seeing the Revolutionary Army appear in Loguetown, Daddy frowned; how could he have run into this person?

Although the commander of the Revolutionary Army East Army was responsible for Revolutionary affairs in the East Blue, she was usually stationed in the Grand Line; he had not expected her to appear in Loguetown now.

"The Revolutionary Army!!"

White Hunter Smoker also looked at Belo Betty with a grave expression; while pirates were certainly enemies of the Marines, the Revolutionary Army were even greater enemies.

Because according to the orders of Marine Headquarters, the priority for dealing with the Revolutionary Army was even higher than that for pirates!

Even if this Revolutionary Army commander was currently saving these civilians, the Marines still had to strike at the Revolutionary Army!

Under the influence of Belo Betty's Pump-Pump Fruit, the various pirate crews rioting in the East Blue were quickly suppressed by the surging morale of the civilians.

Even the crew of the Big Daddy Pirates found themselves surrounded by high-spirited townspeople.

This made Daddy's expression extremely grim; facing Belo Betty, who had a bounty of over 400 million Beli, Daddy had absolutely no confidence in being able to handle her!

"Smoker! You're quite lucky! I hope to meet you again in the Grand Line!"

After a moment of thought, Daddy stopped attacking Smoker and chose to order his men to retreat immediately!

Under Daddy's desperate cover, using a massive barrier to seal off their rear, the crew of the Big Daddy Pirates managed to shake off the pursuit of the civilians and fled at high speed.

Belo Betty's Pump-Pump Fruit was truly terrifying; it could allow an ordinary person to easily possess the strength of someone with a bounty in the tens of millions.

Individual civilians were able to pummel the Cat Brothers, Iron Wall Pearl, and other low-level pirate bounty hunters.

Daddy remembered that in the original story, in the Lulusia Kingdom of the Grand Line, Belo Betty had used the power of the Pump-Pump Fruit to allow a girl selling milk to defeat the 52 million Beli Peachbeard with a single strike!

What an exaggerated boost that was!

A single boost from her Pump-Pump Fruit could allow ordinary people to crush the Peachbeard Pirates, whose bounty far exceeded the highest in the East Blue.

He had to admit that if the Big Daddy Pirates hadn't fled now, they would have been thoroughly beaten by the civilians under the influence of that morale-boosting power!

Daddy had never expected to be driven out of Loguetown in such a humiliating manner!

He hadn't even had the opportunity or time to find a chef.

On the other side, Nami and Honey Queen, through a combination of trickery, deception, and threats, finally brought a red-haired female chef back to the Dreadnaught Sabre.

She was the favorite to win this year's cooking competition, Carmen, known as the Woman of Passion.

Due to the pirate riot, this annual Loguetown cooking competition had been forced to a premature end, and even the prize money for the champion had been looted by pirates.

Nami had been trying to call Daddy on the Den Den Mushi to claim credit, but Daddy had no time to answer her calls while frantically retreating with his crew.

Fortunately, Belo Betty had no intention of pursuing the Big Daddy Pirates; after inspiring the citizens of Loguetown to suppress the pirate riot, she had mysteriously vanished.

As a top-tier criminal of the World Government, she did not want to linger in Loguetown after revealing her presence, as being hunted by Marine Headquarters and CP0 would be a very troublesome affair.

He would even be warned and punished by Revolutionary Army Leader Dragon.

On the other side, Smoker also knew that he could not do anything to Daddy for the time being, so he could only arrest the pirates who had been knocked down by the civilians first.

Although taking advantage of the Revolutionary Army in this way made Smoker very unhappy, he would not let these pirates go just because of such a flimsy excuse!

Meanwhile, Daddy was rapidly retreating with the crew of the Big Daddy Pirates. It was the first time Zoro, Kuro, and the others had witnessed such a bizarre and powerful Devil Fruit ability, one that could make an ordinary person as strong as a super soldier.

If such an ability were utilized within an army, how terrifying would that be!
