High-Ranking Navy Officers Find It Hard to Retire

"Shinobu!!"

Seeing Shinobu being captured, Kozuki Hiyori cried out in worry, while Denjiro stood in front of her, staring fixedly at the terrifying Wang Shi.

At the same time, upon seeing the nightmare-like divine dragon, he had nearly thought Beast Kaido had come personally to deal with them.
