Farewell, Niji!

On the most magnificent royal flagship within the Flaws Kingdom fleet.

"A bold one, this Wang Shi! He actually dared to wait for us here!"

King Ba Dodeshinai peered through his telescope at the distant Goa Empire fleet, a cruel smile spreading across his face.

"Minister of the Left, send the Germa 66 mercenary legion in first! If they've taken the money, they'd better put in the work!"

"Minister of the Right, have the Sasba Kingdom fleet move up and cut off the Goa fleet's escape route!"

King Ba Dodeshinai's eyes were filled with cunning; he intended to use the forces of Germa 66 and the Sasba Kingdom to exhaust the strength of the Goa Empire.

He would be the oriole waiting to snatch the mantis's prize.

That arrogant fellow Vinsmoke Niji—even after being offered extra pay, he refused to call in another top-tier modified human.

Truly, he didn't know what was good for him.

He hoped Niji could actually finish off Wang Shi, otherwise...

King Ba Dodeshinai knew that this man, known as the King of Exile, certainly wouldn't be that simple.

He was indeed a bit worried that Niji might capsize in the gutter.

But even if he did, it wouldn't matter; it would just drag the entire power of Germa 66 into the fray.

In any case, he, Ba Dodeshinai, would surely be the one laughing last.

Of course, it would be best if Niji killed Wang Shi, ending the matter once and for all.

Then, he would seize the opportunity to annex the territories of those four kingdoms.

In truth, there was no need for the Flaws Kingdom to urge them on; the Germa 66 legion had already taken the initiative to charge toward their target.

It was merely a war in the weakest of the seas.

The conflict would be over in two hours.

This commission was easy money.

"Hmph, where is the target, Wang Shi?"

"This guy is ranked alongside my father? Watch me twist his head off!"

Vinsmoke Niji's eyes were filled with cold indifference, as if he viewed this war as nothing more than a casual game.

"Second Prince, I heard that Wang Shi possesses the Power of Exile; you must be a little careful."

Smith, the communications officer, reminded Niji with great caution.

"Are you trying to teach me how to do my job?"

"Get lost!"

Niji, who had been brimming with fighting spirit, suddenly turned icy, kicking the noisy servant away with a single blow.

"No one can survive at the hands of Germa's strongest warrior!"

Niji's smile was cold and confident as his right hand produced a blue cylinder.

"Electric Blue, Transform!"

Niji immediately donned his shape-shifting metal combat suit, transforming into a super soldier.

"Kill them all!"

Niji shouted his orders to the equally emotionless clone soldiers, then launched himself into the air, speeding toward the Goa Empire fleet.

Perhaps he could wipe out the entire Goa Empire fleet all by himself.

"He's coming!"

Perched atop the main mast, Van Augur spotted the blue figure flying toward them.

Bang!! x3

Van Augur did not hesitate to fire three shots from Senriku at the blue figure.

He clearly saw all three bullets strike the blue figure, yet the figure merely paused for half a breath before continuing its charge.

"What a powerful combat suit! What a sturdy body! Truly the strongest weapon of the North Blue's overlord."

Seeing that his sniping was ineffective, Van Augur's expression turned grave.

This meant his most powerful methods were completely useless against this modified human.

"Take this, my Sonic Cannon!"

El Drago immediately charged his power and blasted it toward the blue figure.

Eric also readied his strongest Wind Blade!

"It's Niji! They really came!!"

Seeing that familiar figure, Sanji was instantly reminded of the abuse he suffered in his childhood, his hands trembling involuntarily.

Even though Niji had grown up just as he had, Sanji would never forget his cold-blooded, heartless brothers.

"Your Majesty Wang Shi, those are the most powerful cyborg weapons of the Vinsmoke family. Are you truly certain you can defeat him?"

"Should we consider a retreat?"

Sanji was somewhat panicked; he was genuinely afraid that Wang Shi and his subordinates would all be slaughtered by Niji.

"Stay calm."

Wang Shi said indifferently, even as El Drago's laser sonic cannon roared toward Niji.

"A mere energy wave? Witness my Electric Shock Fist!!"

Seeing the golden energy wave, Niji did not feel a shred of fear.

It couldn't even compare to Ichiji's flame shockwaves; how could it possibly break through his ultimate body?

"BOOM!!"

Niji's Electric Shock Fist actually pushed against El Drago's sonic cannon, charging forward all the way as countless sparks of golden energy were sent flying.

El Drago's eyes bulged; this was the first time he had seen someone tank his sonic cannon head-on.

It seemed that even His Majesty Wang Shi had never taken his sonic cannon directly.

"So strong!!"

"They are no match for Niji at all!"

Watching Niji draw closer and closer, Sanji was completely panicked.

Now, he could only pin his hopes on Wang Shi.

Niji was even stronger than he had been back then, and Sanji estimated that his own Diable Jambe wouldn't even be able to break through Niji's defenses.

As Niji charged through the sonic cannon, Eric immediately unleashed his strongest Wind Blade, slashing toward Niji.

"Can they win?!"

It wasn't just Sanji who was incredibly anxious; even Nami and the others were extremely tense.

Zoro and Saka drew their blades, beads of cold sweat forming on their foreheads. They wouldn't dare to take El Drago's sonic cannon or Eric's Wind Blade head-on.

Yet this enemy was so tough that he was charging through them while tanking the hits?

Could their blades even break this monster's defense?

"BOOM!"

Even Eric's charged Wind Blade failed to break Niji's defense, being shattered upon impact instead.

At this moment, cheers of victory erupted from the fleets of the Flaws Kingdom and the Sasba Kingdom.

Niji's power was peerless, like that of a god.

"Bahahaha! Wang Shi, you're finished! Vinsmoke Niji is one of the four most powerful super-soldiers of Germa 66; what could you possibly use to stop him!"

King Ba Dodeshinai laughed wantonly while holding his binoculars, certain that he had already won this war.

When he first saw the golden light wave and the wind blade unleashed by the Goa Empire, he had worried for Niji for a moment.

But now he realized those worries were entirely superfluous.

The Minister of the Left had already very tactfully handed King Ba Dodeshinai a glass of champagne, preparing to celebrate the victory immediately.

On the fleet of the Goa Empire.

As Niji broke through Van Augur's sniping, El Drago's sonic cannon, and Eric's sharp Wind Blade one after another...

Everyone became incredibly tense, turning their gazes toward Wang Shi.

"Where is Wang Shi? Come out and meet your death!"

"Forget it, I'm wiping everyone out anyway—die, all of you!!"

Niji shattered the sonic cannon and the wind blade, his expression filled with disdain. He began to gather violent electrical currents in his hands, intending to annihilate all the warships in a single strike!

"Zzzzt!"

The lightning in Niji's hands erupted with blinding light, and the terrifying aura of destruction chilled everyone to the bone.

So strong!

"Vinsmoke Niji, possessing powerful Lineage Factor and an exoskeleton, and your Raid Suit isn't bad either."

"However, your Haki seems to be a bit lacking."

Wang Shi watched Niji charging his ultimate move, a faint smile appearing on his face as a transparent domain had already expanded outward.

"Goodbye, Niji!"

"Domain: Banishment!"

Wang Shi slowly raised his hand and clenched it into the void toward Niji.

In an instant, the blinding lightning vanished.

Niji's blue figure also disappeared into thin air, leaving not a trace behind.

At this moment, the panicked Sanji and the distant King Ba Dodeshinai, who was observing from afar, both widened their eyes and dropped their jaws...
