The Man-Eating Monster-Leave!

"Bogart, I'll leave this kid to you. I'll handle Rayleigh!"

Garp pointed at Mislanda.

He had great confidence in Bogart's strength. Even if he fought Rayleigh, Bogart could still injure him.

With strength like that, he could completely take on Mislanda!

"No problem!"

Bogart drew his saber again and fixed Mislanda with a tiger-like stare!

The latter immediately sensed the sharp aura.

"Hmph, interesting. I didn't expect Vice Admiral Garp to have such a powerful fighter by his side!"

"I'd like to test myself against him!"

Fighting powerful opponents was exactly what Mislanda wanted to do.

Mislanda and Bogart were at the same power level, both at the Star Glory level. However, Bogart had already reached the peak of that level, while Mislanda was still just a hair short.

But that did not affect their battle in the slightest!

"Susanoo, go deal with those Marines!"

"Xiaobi, Berserk!"

Roar!

At Mislanda's command, Xiaobi's massive body immediately began to change.

Its originally white skin instantly turned blood-red. Combined with its taut muscles, Xiaobi no longer looked cute in the slightest. The entire dog looked like a monster from hell!

Unlike Susanoo's evolution, Xiaobi's evolution had no restrictions. In other words, it could enter this state at any time.

Susanoo, on the other hand, had to absorb its master's life force to evolve!

Roar!

Xiaobi roared again before charging toward the Marines!

"Quick, open fire! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

For a moment, bullets shot toward Xiaobi's terrifying body once more, but they were completely useless!

With a tearing sound, Xiaobi's fangs immediately sank down!

A moment later, a corpse with only its lower half remaining stood on the ground, while the upper half was already in Xiaobi's mouth!

Crunch, crunch, crunch...

Xiaobi chewed excitedly, clearly quite satisfied with the food in its mouth!

"That... it... it's eating people?!"

Looking at the corpse with only its lower half left, many Marines broke into a cold sweat!

At that moment, Mislanda, who was fighting Bogart, spoke.

He struck Bogart in the chest with one fist, while his own arm was slashed open.

"Xiaobi, eat as much as you want. They're all your food, so enjoy yourself!"

"Roar!"

Hearing Mislanda's words, Xiaobi grew even more excited and looked feverishly at the Marines.

Under Xiaobi's scarlet gaze, every Marine soldier felt their scalp go numb!

"Run! It's a monster!"

"I don't want to be eaten! Somebody save me!"

An hour later—yes, a full hour had already passed!

On the battlefield, Mislanda and Rayleigh had joined forces against Garp and Bogart.

Rayleigh was slightly weaker than Garp, while Mislanda was about equal to Bogart.

But it was impossible to determine a victor in a short time.

When two opponents were so evenly matched, they would not reach a conclusion without fighting for several days and nights.

Looking at Bogart in the distance, Mislanda raised his right hand and aimed it at the nearest mangrove.

Boom!

A tremendous suction force appeared, directly causing the hundred-meter-tall mangrove to tilt.

In the end, the mangrove toppled over, crashing toward Garp and Bogart!

Facing the falling giant trunk, Bogart did not panic in the slightest. He simply swung his blade forcefully, sending out streaks of light!

Whoosh!

The blade light swept across, and the entire mangrove was cut in half!

As the four of them fought, the entire Sabaody Archipelago trembled as if struck by a massive earthquake!

"This won't do, Mislanda. We have to leave as soon as possible!"

"With all this commotion, the Marines will definitely send more people!"

The Marines were not far from here, after all. They could send reinforcements at any time!

Garp and Bogart were already troublesome enough. If two more came, they probably would not be able to escape!

Hearing this, Mislanda sighed.

He looked toward the battlefield on the other side.

Although Xiaobi had entered its Berserk state and Susanoo was also extremely powerful, the Marines had quite a few formidable fighters among them, not to mention their overwhelming numbers!

Therefore, although the Marines had suffered losses, they could still barely hold them back!

Xiaobi's mouth was already drenched in blood. No one knew how many people it had eaten!

The ground around Susanoo was also littered with Marines who had fallen unconscious!

"It's been an hour. They should be far away by now, so let's leave too!"

After so much time had passed, Shakky and the others should have gone a long way. There was no need to keep fighting here.

"I'm afraid leaving won't be that easy!"

Looking at Garp and Bogart across from them, Rayleigh could not help smiling bitterly.

With those two blocking them, they could not simply leave whenever they wanted!

"Don't worry. I still have a trump card!"

Mislanda smiled before looking at Xiaobi and Susanoo.

The person and the dog immediately stopped fighting and came to stand behind Mislanda.

"Vice Admiral Garp, Bogart, farewell!"

"Next time we meet, we'll settle this properly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a black vortex appeared behind Mislanda.

He immediately pushed Rayleigh and Susanoo into it, leaving only himself and Xiaobi outside.

"Stop him! We can't let them escape!"

Garp hurriedly shouted.

If Mislanda escaped this time, Garp did not dare say he could defeat him the next time they met!

Garp and Bogart immediately charged over!

"It's useless. You can't stop us... Xiaobi!"

Mislanda had only recently learned that Xiaobi possessed a particularly interesting skill.

It could use the sound waves produced during its Berserk state to restrict the movements of everyone nearby!

Roar!

The next moment, a deafening roar erupted from Xiaobi's mouth!

The roar actually formed visible ripples in the air.

Immediately afterward, Garp and Bogart's movements slowed before finally coming to a stop.

It was not just them—even Mislanda himself felt a piercing pain in his ears, and his body became somewhat unable to move!

There was nothing he could do. Xiaobi's skill affected an area. Anyone within its range who heard the sound would be restricted!

Although Mislanda was affected as well, the vortex behind him remained perfectly fine. It was not affected at all!

Before long, the suction force from the vortex pulled Mislanda and Xiaobi inside!

The instant Xiaobi disappeared into the vortex, Garp and Bogart immediately felt the strange restriction vanish.

They hurriedly tried to stop them, but it was already too late!

The black vortex was already moving away at incredible speed—and it was moving upward!

They could not catch up with it using Geppo alone!

They were not skilled at aerial combat!

"Damn it! They got away!"

Garp angrily smashed his fist into a nearby boulder and cursed.

Many of the Marine soldiers under his command had been killed or injured, yet they had still allowed the enemy to escape!

What humiliation! What humiliation!

"Sigh!"

After a long while, Garp sighed and admitted that this mission had failed.

"Let's go back!"
