The Grand Line, the Als Kingdom, a small kingdom with a population of just over 20 million, is famous for its unique iron ore mines. It was once fought over by various forces until three years ago when an unparalleled king arrived, and thus, the rule of this country changed hands.

The king is still the same king, but the power now rests with someone else.

On the tallest building in the country, a pirate flag fluttered. Now, across the entire ocean, you might not know who the Fleet Admiral is, but you must clearly see this pirate symbol.

Because this pirate flag Flying Pirates, the most powerful and dominant force on the high seas right now, the man who conquered the sky.

It's obvious that this place is under the protection of the Flying Pirates, or it's already Flying Pirates territory!

On the distant horizon, the waves parted, and a long-haired youth on a skateboard seemed to be flying across the sea, rapidly approaching the kingdom.

Half a year has passed since Ye Chen killed the Death Rhino in the Sabaody Archipelago.

In the past six months, if we were to name the most famous person on the high seas, it would undoubtedly be the Fifth Rear Admiral of the Navy.

The names Sakazuki, Borsalino, Kuzan, Vergo, and Ye Chen have spread throughout the entire ocean, and many powerful figures are paying close attention to them.

Three months ago, Marine Rear Admiral Sakazuki killed a pirate with a bounty of 180 million, making it known to everyone. Immediately afterwards, as if they had planned it, Borsalino, Kuzan, and Vergo all took action, killing pirates with bounties of over 100 million, and countless others with bounties below 100 million.

It once stirred up the sea, causing the land to turn upside down.

While the first four were arrogant, it wasn't overtly so. Only Ye Chen, one of the five, was truly arrogant.

The other four were completely aimless, grabbing whoever they came across. But Ye Chen, on the other hand, targeted one person and then relentlessly pursued them, leading many to believe that this guy was incredibly audacious.

The Black Fox Pirates, captained by Wild Fox, have a bounty of 120 million.

The Buffalo Pirates, Captain Savage Charge, bounty 110 million.

The Soft Soft Pirates, captained by the Black-Faced Man, have a bounty of 125 million.

In total, there were seven or eight pirate crews with bounties exceeding 100 million. The key point is that all of them were affiliated with the Flying Pirates. Some were stationed in one place, while others were sailing on the sea. However, all of them were found and eliminated.

The culprit was none other than Marine Rear Admiral Ye Chen.

This angered Golden Lion, the captain of the Flying Pirates, who then dispatched his capable subordinates to eliminate him.

According to that battle, the fate of the Marine Rear Admiral is unknown. However, half a month ago, one of the bases under the Flying Pirates was destroyed again, and the culprit was still that Marine Rear Admiral.

Now, many forces under the Flying Pirates are gritting their teeth, wishing they could tear this Marine to pieces.

However, this guy is elusive; he lit the bomb and ran, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

Stepping onto the island, his feet firmly planted on solid ground, his black hair tied up, his face, ravaged by years of beatings, was unusually stern, his dark eyes bright and clear, and wearing a gray overcoat, the young man raised his head.

"Captain, they've told us to be careful. That Blast Ghost in the navy killed Minteste and his men about two weeks ago."

In the southern part of the Als Kingdom, there is a pirate crew called the Elastic Pirates. Their captain Chris, is a user of the Paramecia Devil Fruit, the Spring-Spring Fruit, with a bounty of 180 million and possessing Two-Color Haki.

Even within the entire Flying Pirates, he was a mid-level or higher expert, renowned throughout the surrounding seas.

It was because of the expert Chris that the kingdom of Ars was able to live in peace, and no one dared to offend it.

"You're making a fuss over nothing. That Blast Ghost from the Navy dares to show his face here? I'll take him out in a minute."

Chris, who was inspecting the base, stopped and looked at his subordinates with utter disdain.

"One minute is a bit long."

Without warning, a voice came from high above, causing Chris to turn around.

Squatting on the roof beam, Ye Chen looked at Chris on the ground with an indifferent expression, comparing it to the bounty poster in his hand.

"Boy, who are you, daring to trespass here?"

Before Chris could speak, one of his men spoke up.

"Swish"

In a flash, Ye Chen appeared a meter away from the two, tossing away the bounty poster. "You must be Chris. The bounty is 180 million. Your head is worth a lot."

Ignoring Chris's henchmen, Ye Chen looked at Chris.

"So you're that Marine Ghost." Chris squinted, staring at Ye Chen as if he were already dead.

"One minute."

Without replying, Ye Chen extended a finger, then vanished in a blur.

"Bang"

The ground shattered, and a massive Shockwave overturned everything. Chris, arms outstretched and covered in Armament Haki, was sent flying backward.

Ye Chen appeared where Chris had been standing, withdrew his fist, and felt quite pleased. He was indeed a pirate with a bounty of 180 million; his strength was completely different from the henchmen he had previously dealt with.

The building collapsed with a deafening roar. Chris rose from the ruins, dusted himself off, and his previously calm face suddenly turned fierce.

Debris flew everywhere, Chris disappeared, and the next moment, Ye Chen seemed to have been hit hard, turning into a cannonball, smashing through several houses in succession, and lying in the ruins.

At that moment, Chris's legs bounced up and down as if they were springs.

Coughing, Ye Chen stood up amidst the dust, feeling a slight pain in his hand, and a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

The two exchanged a glance and disappeared almost simultaneously. Then, in mid-air, two black fists collided violently, creating a massive shockwave.

With a creaking sound, Chris's right hand, like a spring, was compressed to its limit and then slammed towards Ye Chen. The immense force caused Ye Chen's expression to change, and he was instantly transformed into a meteor and fell to the ground.

In an instant, the entire ground collapsed, countless cracks spread, and everything around was leveled in a flash.

Rubble, sticks, and stones flew through the air like bullets, making a powerful whistling sound.

Following closely behind, Chris compressed his feet and instantly appeared in front of Ye Chen, slamming his feet down.

With his hands crossed, Ye Chen's face was flushed, and a trace of blood spilled from his mouth. He knelt on one knee, and the entire shattered ground, with countless boulders, was overturned.

Just then, Chris flipped over and swept his leg across, the sound of it cutting through the air was enough to shatter metal and split rocks.

With a gust of wind overhead, Ye Chen forcefully turned his body, braced himself with his hands on the ground, performed a backflip, and disappeared from the ground.

The next moment, a hurricane swept through, creating an overwhelming force that turned everything into endless ruins.

A figure appeared in the distance. Ye Chen shook his hand, dispelling the numbness! Then he looked at Chris with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Kid, you're pretty good at dodging."

Standing amidst the ruins, Chris smiled sinisterly, his eyes filled with savagery.
