Yamato's ultimate strike set Luo Ji's blood boiling. The endless burst of Conqueror's Haki also knocked out a large number of Marines.

That domineering, awe-inspiring scene quietly stirred a force within Luo Ji.

"Momonga! Onigumo!"

"You can have a taste of this too!"

'Elemental Scroll: Fire Magic: Emperor of Flame!'

'Elemental Scroll: Ice Magic: Musaishi Hyoga!'

From the two massive scrolls summoned by Luo Ji, a gigantic miniature sun and a terrifying blast of white icy air erupted.

"Not good!"

"Run!!"

Vice Admirals Momonga and Onigumo stared at the sun and ice pillar in the sky in horror.

The two unleashed the strongest sword slashes of their lives, cutting toward those two terrifying attacks.

On the island, Hanafuda saw the flaming miniature sun as though he had seen some terrifying natural enemy.

"That bastard is here too?!!"

Hanafuda roared furiously. At that moment, a flaming ghost and a fire monster charged at him.

"What the hell are these?!!"

Covered in burns, Hanafuda now feared high temperatures more than anything. He desperately fled from the flames.

A huge blade descended from the sky, chopping toward Hanafuda.

A giant monster swung with berserk power, intent on hacking Hanafuda into pieces.

After dodging repeatedly, the wounds on Hanafuda's body began bleeding even more heavily.

"No! Am I really going to die at the hands of nameless nobodies like you?!"

Hanafuda howled unwillingly. He could not even use Haki now. His body had suffered burns far too severe, and the Marines had bombarded him for hours.

Elsewhere, Luo Ji charged at Momonga, who had evaded Musaishi Hyoga, with Nidai Kitetsu in hand. Yamata no Orochi, Okuchi no Makami, and the other phantom beast Super Beasts charged at the other Marine officers.

"Vice Admiral Momonga! Remember this—we are the Luo Ji Pirates!"

"I'm taking Hanafuda!"

"Remember to raise Yamato's and my bounties a little. Consider this our greeting gift upon setting sail!"

"And my title is Yama. Soul-Snatching Brush in my left hand, Book of Life and Death in my right. When Yama decrees your death at the third watch, you will not live to see the fifth.

"And my two precious crewmates: Rakshasa Queen Yamato and Beast-Taming Princess O-Tama!

"If possible, add our guardian phantom beasts too. They are Nue Komachiyo and Onyudo Onimaru."

Like an absolute chatterbox, Luo Ji forced his decisions onto Vice Admiral Momonga.

"Did you hear that clearly? If not, I can fire off another Emperor of Flame and open your eyes!"

Luo Ji hacked wildly at Vice Admiral Momonga while summoning scrolls.

At that moment, Yamato returned to Luo Ji's side amid violent lightning.

"Captain, I already smashed that guy deep into the sea."

The Conqueror's Haki surrounding Yamato made Momonga and Onigumo's expressions change drastically, especially those black-red bolts of lightning.

How was that possible?!

That woman could actually use Conqueror's Coating?

And someone like her was actually calling this young man her captain.

How had she awakened Conqueror's Haki?

"Hahaha! Strong! Yamato, your Haki is seriously fierce! If I want to keep being your captain, I'll have to become a little more arrogant too."

Pressed by the Conqueror's Haki of Yamato, his first mate, an unwilling-to-fall-behind aura erupted from Luo Ji.

In an instant, even the deck and masts cracked apart. The elite Marines who had not fallen under Yamato's Conqueror's Haki earlier also collapsed one after another.

"Luo Ji! You finally awakened Conqueror's Haki!!"

Yamato's eyes lit up, and she was genuinely happy for Luo Ji. If she had known that unleashing Conqueror's Coating at full force could force him to awaken, she would have done it long ago.

"Seeing how domineering you are, I can't be worse than you!"

Luo Ji laughed loudly. In truth, the moment he had decided to attack the Marines, he had already vaguely felt it about to awaken.

With Yamato, a domineering wielder of Conqueror's Coating, serving as a stimulus, Luo Ji, both a transmigrator and a captain, naturally could not stand for it.

"Two users of Conqueror's Haki on one ship?"

Vice Admiral Momonga gripped his sword tightly with both hands, utterly shocked. Could these Luo Ji Pirates become the next Roger Pirates?

After all, aside from the Roger Pirates, only the Big Mom Pirates had two users of Conqueror's Haki.

"You remembered all our titles and names, right? Remember to raise our bounties a little. If they're lower than Fire Fist Ace's, we'll give you another warning next time."

Luo Ji was in a hurry to deal with Hanafuda, his spoils of war, and did not want to slaughter these Marines.

After all, if they died, who would raise the bounties of the Luo Ji Pirates?

"Let's go!"

Luo Ji leaped onto Flying Crane with Yamato and flew toward the island.

"What do we do now?!"

Watching their retreating figures, Momonga's hands gripping his sword were actually trembling slightly.

"Hurry and report this! Request admiral support!"

"And hurry up and search for Vice Admiral Onigumo!"

"He took a Conqueror's Coating strike from the Rakshasa Queen. He might..."

Vice Admiral Onigumo had clearly taken Luo Ji's words to heart. A woman who wielded Conqueror's Coating was qualified to bear that title.

On the other hand, Luo Ji, who had only just awakened Conqueror's Haki, did not deserve the title Yama.

Under Vice Admiral Onigumo's orders, the three Marine fleets hurried to save themselves and dispatched people to search for Vice Admiral Onigumo.

Yamato's Conqueror's Coating strike had indeed completely crushed their will to resist.

If they faced the Luo Ji Pirates, they might truly be wiped out to the last man.

News of the battle quickly reached Marine Headquarters.

The operation to capture the former Shichibukai Hanafuda had failed. The Luo Ji Pirates had emerged out of nowhere and dealt the Marine fleets devastating losses.

Perhaps the Beasts Pirates had still set the bounties for the Luo Ji Pirates too low.

This Rakshasa Queen Yamato was simply more terrifying than Queen the Plague and King the Conflagration.

On the small island, Hanafuda was being burned until he screamed by Phantom Beast Super Beast Nue and Kazenbo, while Onyudo Onimaru attacked him head-on.

Even Komachiyo, who was carrying O-Tama through the air, unleashed Nue's flame ability to attack Hanafuda.

Overwhelmed beyond endurance, Hanafuda saw the two figures with astonishing presences appear, and his eyes filled with unwillingness.

"Two users of Conqueror's Haki? Are you trying to recruit me?"

"Hmph! Even without my Shichibukai status, I won't submit to anyone else!"

"Let me go, and I will repay you someday. Whether you want treasure or Devil Fruits, I'll find them for you."

Hanafuda looked weakly at Luo Ji and Yamato. Those flame monsters had not killed him, clearly because they wanted to spare his life and recruit him.

But he had run rampant across the seas for over a decade. How could he possibly bow beneath another?

"Heh, I don't need your submission either. You're just a provider of blood ink."

"You think too highly of yourself!"

Luo Ji summoned a Prison Scroll, kicked Hanafuda into it, and nailed him to the wall of the scroll.

"You want to imprison me? You'll regret this! Don't let me find a chance to get out!!"

Hanafuda's roar vanished as the scroll was put away!

"Let's go!"

"Maybe our latest wanted posters will be out in a couple of days!"

Luo Ji curled his lips into a smile and flew away with the others. This sudden attack was enough to make the Luo Ji Pirates famous.

Even if they could not make tomorrow's headlines, their name would spread across the seas.

"Since we beat Marine vice admirals, does that mean our bounties should be higher than Ace's?"

Yamato had not expected Luo Ji to let her throw just one Conqueror's Coating strike before ending the fight. She had not enjoyed herself nearly enough.
