Justice? You Think You Deserve to Talk About Justice?

"We found him! That's him!"

The agent leader's eyes lit up the moment he saw Kerl. With the monster Rochi here to back him up, all the humiliation he had suffered earlier transformed into outrageously arrogant confidence!

"Bang!"

The agent leader kicked over a medicinal pot outside the clinic, then swaggered into the courtyard with his men, shouting harshly:

"Kerl! You filthy pirate!"

"Don't think you can escape the World Government's judgment by hiding among these ignorant peasants and pretending to be a good man!"

"Today is the day you die!"

The sudden crash and the vicious-looking Cipher Pol Agents instantly threw the people inside and outside the clinic into a panic!

"It's people from the World Government!"

"They've come for Doctor Kerl!"

Kerl, seated behind the examination table, paused slightly in the middle of bandaging a patient.

"I never thought that even after hiding here, you would still find me..."

Kerl rose to his feet, his tall figure carrying a trace of sorrow. He looked at the surrounding residents with a bitter smile. "Everyone, I'm sorry. I may not be able to continue treating you anymore."

The moment he said this—

The islanders around him, who had been terrified moments ago, looked as though their most sensitive nerve had been struck. Their eyes all turned red!

"You're not taking Doctor Kerl!"

"He's a good man! My son came down with a terrible fever last year. If Doctor Kerl hadn't watched over him for three days and nights, my son would have died long ago!"

"Doctor Kerl has helped this entire island! You World Government lapdogs never cared whether we lived or died, so what right do you have to arrest a living saint!"

Crash—!

Hundreds of unarmed civilians—elderly people and women among them—surged forward of their own accord, forming an impenetrable human wall between Kerl and the Cipher Pol Agents.

Their faces were resolute as they glared furiously at these so-called representatives of "justice."

"Ignorant trash!"

A savage gleam flashed through the agent leader's eyes as he looked at the civilians daring to block his way. He directly drew the pistol at his waist.

In his eyes, their lives were worth less than a dog kept by the Celestial Dragons.

"If you want to protect this criminal, then you can die with him!"

"Click!" The pistol was cocked, its dark muzzle aimed directly at an old man's head.

But before he could pull the trigger—

"Move. You're in the way."

An icy voice suddenly exploded beside the agent leader's ear.

Then Rochi's tall, straight figure had already passed through the crowd. Wearing a naval officer's cloak, he walked to the front with an expressionless face.

The agent leader shuddered all over in fright, hastily put away his gun, and retreated to the side.

Rochi's ink-black, deathly still eyes passed over the layers of furious people and locked directly onto Kerl.

"A living saint?"

An utterly mocking curve rose at the corner of Rochi's mouth as the terrifying Overlord Killing Aura of level forty-three, Peak Colonel Level, erupted without restraint like a hurricane!

"Boom—!!!"

Rochi did not even need to make a move.

That tangible killing intent, condensed from the blood of countless pirates, instantly became an invisible sledgehammer that smashed viciously into the minds of every civilian present!

"Urgh..."

The hundreds of civilians who had been enraged just moments ago could not hold on for even half a second. Before they even understood what had happened, their eyes rolled back and they collapsed limply in unison like harvested wheat!

In the blink of an eye, only Rochi and Kerl, standing opposite him, remained upright inside and outside the clinic.

Watching his "shield" collapse all around him, the gentleness and hypocrisy on Kerl's face finally began to freeze.

He stared fixedly at the absurdly young Navy Colonel before him. Muscles swelled across his body one after another, forcefully tearing apart his white coat!

"A Navy Colonel possessing such terrifying killing intent..."

The brutal gleam belonging to the Bone Carver finally appeared in Kerl's eyes. He clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking loudly.

"Since you insist on driving me into a corner, then leave your lives behind!"

Rochi casually removed the white glove from his hand and tossed it onto the ground.

In those abyss-like eyes, manic fervor spread like wildfire.

"Driving you into a corner? You think far too highly of yourself."

Rochi bent his knees slightly, and the hard bluestone slabs beneath his feet instantly cracked into a dense web of fractures.

"I'm just... in a hurry to collect experience!!!"

"Boom!"

Before his words had even faded, Rochi became a white afterimage too fast for the naked eye to catch. With a terrifying sonic boom that crushed the air, he drove a fist straight at Kerl!

"Armament!"

Kerl's expression changed drastically. With an enraged roar, a layer of iron-black Armament Haki instantly covered his thick arms as he crossed them before himself!

"Bang—!!!"

Two forces of utterly pure violence collided explosively!

A violent circular shockwave visible to the naked eye instantly swept out from the center of their clash! It blew the clinic's roof clean off and shredded the medicinal herbs and medical equipment filling the courtyard in the gale!

"What incredible strength!"

Kerl felt as though his arms had been struck head-on by a naval main gun, his blood and qi churning violently.

His entire body slid backward uncontrollably for a full five or six meters, carving two deep trenches into the ground!

Rochi, meanwhile, stood where Kerl had just been, slowly drawing back his right fist as white steam rose from it. The scarlet glow in his eyes grew ever more intense.

"A seventy-five-million experience pack. Just as satisfying as expected."

Rochi gave a savage grin and pounced again like a tiger descending the mountain.

"My real show has only just begun!"

"You arrogant Navy brat! When I was killing people in the New World, you were still drinking milk!"

Kerl, sent reeling by that single blow, was completely enraged!

His greatest pride, his immense strength, had actually lost out to an eighteen-year-old brat. The savage heart hidden beneath his hypocritical mask exploded like a powder keg set ablaze!

"Bone Carver: Meat Grinder Roulette!!!"

Kerl roared wildly. Rather than seeming cumbersome in the slightest, his massive body displayed explosive power utterly disproportionate to his size!

His fists, covered in jet-black Armament Haki, transformed into a sky full of afterimages.

Every strike carried lethal destructive force capable of easily smashing through armored steel plates, raining down upon Rochi in a furious tempest!

This was the supreme hand-to-hand technique that had once allowed him to tear apart Navy officers with his bare hands and force a bloody path through the encirclement of Celestial Dragon guards!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The dull, oppressive sounds of flesh and muscle colliding boomed continuously through the center of town!

The two fought from the clinic's front courtyard all the way to the back. Walls collapsed and the ground exploded wherever they passed, as if two human-shaped tyrannosaurs stripped of all reason were tearing into each other!
