Engaging the Marines, Injured!

[ Ding, congratulations to the host for defeating Star Glory-level powerhouse Donquixote Doflamingo and receiving 2,000 Strongest Points! ]

[ The host currently has 3,100 points! ]

On Rubeck Island, the sphere Mislanda had left behind dealt a devastating blow to the area.

Once the black mist had completely dispersed, it looked as though the entire island had been bitten by some gigantic monster. What had once been a mountain had vanished entirely, leaving behind only an enormous crater!

Meanwhile, Mislanda did not immediately leave with Corazon. Instead, he remained hovering in the air nearby.

After all, this was the first time he had used such a wide-ranging skill. He wanted to see just how powerful it was.

"Not bad!"

Mislanda was quite satisfied with the power of this move!

He had already thought of a name for this skill... Dark Netherworld Black Hole!

"Did they die?"

Looking at the scene below, Corazon could not help swallowing.

"They didn't. They escaped!"

Through Five Vision Omnipotence, Mislanda spotted Doflamingo fleeing in the distance.

Several of Doflamingo's subordinates, bound together with strings, were beside him!

Doflamingo's body was covered in black wounds, and his subordinates were no different!

Even the blood flowing from their wounds was black!

Hearing that Doflamingo had not died, Corazon breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Doflamingo was his biological older brother. He did not want to watch him die before his eyes.

"Alright, go get some rest first. Leave the rest to me!"

Mislanda opened Black Hole Space and placed Corazon inside.

Then, he looked down at the Warship below!

Below, Vice Admiral Tsuru and the others had also noticed him.

[ Marine Vice Admiral Tsuru, Paramecia Wash-Wash Fruit user. Strength level: Star Glory. Defeating her will grant 2,000 Strongest Points! ]

Marine Vice Admiral Tsuru was someone who stood shoulder to shoulder with Sengoku and Garp.

Although she was only a vice admiral, her status within the Marines was no lower than Garp's or Sengoku's.

Moreover, she was the Marines' strategist, the wisest person in the entire organization!

She was also extremely powerful, at the very least no weaker than Doflamingo!

A figure like her was certainly no simple opponent!

Mislanda straightened his slightly messy hair, then slowly descended toward the sea, eventually arriving not far from the Warship!

Tsuru wanted to speak when she saw Mislanda, but he stopped her.

"That's right, it was me. Vice Admiral Tsuru, don't ask why I'm here. I've already heard that question twice. It's boring!"

As he spoke, Mislanda looked at the two female Marines behind Vice Admiral Tsuru.

[ Marine Rear Admiral Gion, no Devil Fruit. Strength level: Diamond Peak (about to break through)! ]

Gion? Momousagi?

A future Marine admiral candidate?

More than ten years later, Momousagi and Chaton would both become candidates for Marine admiral. But now, Gion was merely a Marine aboard Vice Admiral Tsuru's ship, serving as her adjutant!

As for the other woman behind Vice Admiral Tsuru, she was also a Diamond Level female Marine. She was no simple person either!

"So, you intend to make a move against us, sir?!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru asked with an extremely unfriendly gaze.

She had originally come to capture Doflamingo, but she had not expected to run into Mislanda!

It seemed the destruction on the island just now had been his doing!

"Forget it. I just fought a battle, and I don't feel like fighting again right now, especially not women!"

"I rarely lay a hand on women!"

"Especially elderly women. I'm worried I might beat them to death!"

His words were filled with contempt for Vice Admiral Tsuru.

Of course, Mislanda only said that aloud. In truth, he held Vice Admiral Tsuru in very high regard!

"Oh? Are you looking down on women, Dark King Mislanda?!"

Before Vice Admiral Tsuru could respond, Gion stepped forward from behind her, her face full of defiance.

Mislanda looked her over.

Hmm, she had quite the heroic bearing!

Gion was beautiful, with large eyes and lovely skin. The beauty mark at the corner of her mouth was especially alluring!

Combined with the famous blade at her waist, Mislanda was certain that Gion was the dream lover of countless Marines!

"What? You don't accept that?!"

Looking at the furious Gion, Mislanda felt that she had a special charm at that moment!

"Heh, do you think I should?!"

Gion directly drew her sword, clearly intending to attack.

Seeing this, Vice Admiral Tsuru hurriedly stopped her.

"Gion, don't be rash!"

But it was already too late!

Gion had already leaped into the air, and the famous blade in her hand immediately unleashed a slash!

Vice Admiral Tsuru immediately grew worried.

Gion was in her twenties, at the age when young people were bold and reckless. Since she had few opponents in the Marines, she was usually somewhat proud as well!

Now that Mislanda had provoked her like this, she had attacked without hesitation!

But her opponent was no ordinary person!

Even Garp could not help praising Mislanda's strength. Gion was definitely no match for him!

Sure enough, facing Gion's slash, Mislanda shattered it with a single punch!

Then, he clamped Gion's famous blade between two fingers like a pair of pincers!

Feeling his terrifying strength, Gion was startled. She used all her strength to try to pull her sword free.

But she could not do it at all!

"Beautiful lady, if you don't have enough strength, don't try to stand out!"

"Otherwise, you'll regret it!"

Ding!

Mislanda flicked her sword with his fingers. The violent vibration sent it flying from her hand, where it embedded itself in the Marines' flag!

Whoosh!

Just as Mislanda was about to say something more, a streak of blue light shot toward him.

He hurriedly twisted aside, but it still struck his arm!

Then, his arm began to change, flattening out like a sleeve!

Mislanda looked over and saw Vice Admiral Tsuru holding a hand out toward him. That blue light had come from her!

The Paramecia Wash-Wash Fruit could turn people into clothes. It was quite an unreasonable ability!

"Hmph, interesting!"

Mislanda remained completely calm. After all, powerful Haki could restrain Devil Fruit abilities!

He let out a roar, and his Haki erupted at full force. The surrounding sea trembled, while the Marine Warship continuously tilted under the pressure of his Haki!

When Vice Admiral Tsuru looked again, Mislanda's arm had already returned to normal.

Just then, Gion, having retrieved her sword, leaped into the air again and slashed at Mislanda!

Since he had only just recovered, Mislanda's reaction was a beat too slow.

Whoosh!

Blood splattered through the air. Mislanda felt warmth on his face, followed by a burst of pain!

Gion's sword had struck the side of Mislanda's face, leaving a wound about two centimeters long!

Mislanda immediately grabbed Gion's famous blade and wiped the wound on his face with his other hand.

He was bleeding!

He stared at Gion with a dark expression, quickly released her famous blade, and then seized her by the throat!

"Woman, you've got a lot of nerve!"
