Did We Forget Something?

Yamakaji, smoking a cigarette, his face as always covered in a smile, his eyes squinted as if they weren't open, looked at the colonels and asked.

What's the situation outside?

A colonel stepped forward and said solemnly, "Lord Onigumo is still fighting the Blue Hair man, while Lord Borsalino is fighting Kuta in the center of the island."

"Since Lord Borsalino and Kuta's battle was too fast to see clearly, their current situation is unknown."

"But..."

"But what?"

Doberman, his face ashen, finally spoke.

The colonel hesitated for a moment before speaking, "However, Onigumo doesn't seem to be in very good condition. Judging from his battle with the Blue Hair, the opponent seems to have unlimited stamina, causing Onigumo to suffer considerable injuries."

"Blue Hair?"

The Momonga looked puzzled, then a glint of light flashed in its eyes as it seemed to realize something.

Alright.

"Could it be Kuina, the little girl from the Silver Hair Pirates? If I remember correctly, her bounty is only 20 million Beli, right?"

"He's grown so fast that he can injure Onigumo."

He looked amazed as he spoke.

No one in the Infirmary could answer the question about the Momonga.

The colonel looked at the flying Momonga and asked, "Um, um... Sirs Vice Admiral, are we still going to complete the 'Buster Call'?"

This was their main task this time, and the question they had been waiting for all night.

Never before has Buster Call been like this; half a day has passed and not a single shell has been fired.

"The Buster Call!"

The Vice Admiral were all taken aback.

They almost forgot the main purpose of their trip.

Before even landing on the island, Borsalino gave them instructions: the target wasn't the Silver Hair Crew, but the Island.

In the past, Buster Call to deal with the Sea pirates involved bombarding the ground from afar. Even if the Sea possessed Conqueror's Haki, their Haki couldn't reach that far, thus posing no threat to the soldiers on the Navy Warship.

But the Silver Hair guy is different; he can fly and Teleportation, appearing directly on their ship.

At such close range, the Conqueror's Haki erupted was enough to knock out not only the lower-ranking marines, but even some officers with weaker wills.

The Momonga pulled back the blanket covering its legs and sat up.

"Vice Admiral..."

The colonel looked at the Momonga with concern.

The Momonga stood up, picked up the Marine Justice Coat from the side, and waved his hand, "It's nothing, this injury is nothing, I can still walk."

As he spoke, he draped his coat over his shoulders, turned to look at the three Vice Admiral lying on the bed, and said, "I'll go out and take a look. You all get some rest."

He was the last one to be hit by Kuta's Slash, so he was relatively the least injured and can still walk. However, the three from Yamakaji are unable to even walk.

After saying that, he took the lead and left the Infirmary with the colonels.

The three Vice Admiral lying on the bed tried to struggle to get up, but the pain in their chests told them it was best not to move. Helpless, they could only watch the Momonga's back, their eyes filled with resentment.

They did indeed lose to Kuta this time.

This guy's Slash made them feel like they were facing an attack from one of the Four Emperors.

Powerful...

That's ridiculously strong.

If it weren't for their Armament Haki blocking 99% of the damage, they would probably have been split in two on the spot.

Chapter 49 Have we forgotten something?

On the deck of Warship.

Amidst salutes and greetings, the Momonga walked to the bow of the ship.

Gazing at the Onigumo on the beach, panting heavily and bearing numerous wounds, the Momonga 'Onigumo eyes couldn't help but drift to the pink figure locked in combat with the Onigumo.

I sighed inwardly.

"So young!"

How long has it been since we've seen such a young Great Swordsman? And that Silver Hair, equally young, is already a world-class powerhouse.

He thought about it in his mind.

Unexpected.

Even Douglas Bullet, the "Devil's Heir" who was once known as the "Demon's Successor," couldn't possibly be this troublesome.

The Silver Hair guy is just as troublesome as the Four Emperors.

The Four Emperors are difficult to deal with because their Pirates crews contain a large number of individuals who can rival Marine Vice Admiral or even Admiral.

If it's a single person, the navy isn't actually afraid or worried.

The Silver Hair guy, on the other hand, is an incredibly difficult person to deal with.

It can be said that this is yet another Golden Lion.

No...

It's much more troublesome than the Golden Lion.

Because this guy could kill them, these Vice Admiral, with ease.

Take this incident for example. They didn't actually sense any killing intent from the Silver Hair; otherwise, these Vice Admiral and these ten Warships...

"Why!"

Thinking of this, he sighed again.

"Headache."

The colonels stood behind the Momonga, awaiting his orders. No one called for a halt to the Buster Call; whether or not to continue the bombardment depended on Vice Admiral Momonga.

The Momonga's gaze was suddenly drawn to a huge "boom" sound coming from the center of the island.

"The battle is fierce!"

Unfortunately, he has now left the scene and can no longer fight.

Seeing the towering cloud of dust rushing in from the middle of the island, the Momonga's eyes narrowed. He turned to the colonels and shouted, "Get ready! The Buster Call hasn't stopped!"

Although we can't capture the Silver Hair, the Island still has to be destroyed; this is a hidden mission.

He wasn't worried about Borsalino and Onigumo; such bombardment wouldn't do them any harm.

"Learn."

The colonels saluted the Momonga in unison, then turned and called to the sergeants behind them, and quickly got to work.

Before long, countless huge cannons emerged from the decks and cabins of the ten Warship throughout the Warship.

Without hesitation, countless flashes of light appeared, and amidst the roar of artillery fire, countless shells flew rapidly toward the entire island.

Round after round, and then another.

The entire world was covered by artillery shells.

"Huh!"

In the middle of the island, Kuta and Kizaru looked up at the sky at the same time. Suddenly, countless black shells burst out of the sky outside the smoke and dust, blocking out the sunlight.

"Wow! That's really spectacular!"

Kuta turned to Borsalino and chuckled, "Your Navy wouldn't be planning to wipe you out along with them, would it?"

"Hahaha!!"

"Don't joke around."

Kizaru looked at Kuta, his brows furrowed, wanting to fight but also not wanting to fight.

Headache!

Kuta noticed Kizaru's condition and pulled off the sake gourd.

Lu tilted his head, dodging a cannonball, and then took a few big gulps of water.

"Phew~"

"Awesome~"

Fighting Kizaru greatly increased his combat experience. Kizaru was the strongest opponent he had encountered since setting sail. Although their fighting styles were similar, it was precisely because of this similarity that he was able to discover his shortcomings in battle and thus improve.

He put down the Wine Gourd.

Bite--!

Zankū and returns to its sheath.

Since Kizaru didn't want to fight anymore, he had no choice but to back down.

He took one last look at Kizaru and the countless cannonballs below before disappearing into the air.

"Well! Pikachu, I'll fight you again next time. I'm leaving now, you guys have fun."

"Play?"

Kizaru watched as Kuta disappeared, his lips twitching.

"Do you think our fight is just a game?"

Without giving it much thought, he stepped on the countless flames below, his body transforming into golden particles, and disappeared from the spot.

On the beach, Onigumo gripped two swords, their blades pockmarked and uneven. Had it not been for his Armament Haki, these two swords would have broken along with his other six.

He was tense all over, staring intently at the figure that appeared beside Kuina.

"Silver Hair, what are you doing here? Where is Admiral Borsalino?!"

"Um!"

Kuta withdrew his gaze from Kuina, turned to stare at Onigumo, and chuckled softly.

"You mean, Pikachu? That guy's probably been blown to bits by your artillery fire by now!"

"Hey! Stop joking."

Onigumo roared at Kuta, then said, "How could Admiral Borsalino possibly be defeated by you, and so quickly at that?"

"Well! You figured that out?"

Kuta looked at Onigumo, a smirk playing on his lips. "How terrifying!"

Then his smile vanished, and he glared at Onigumo, his eyes widening. "You still have your blade drawn? You want to fight?"

As he spoke, he touched the hilt of his sword, Zankū, with his right hand. "If you still want to fight, then I'll be your opponent from now on!"

Onigumo was taken aback by Kuta aura, then veins bulged on his forehead as he angrily shouted, "Pirates, who do you think you are facing? Know your place! Even if you are Four Emperors, don't think you can make me back down!"

This guy is indeed a character; he's Akainu Vice Admiral in Hawk Faction's faction, adhering to the ideal of "Absolute Justice," resolutely fighting Pirates even at the cost of his own people.

"Oh..."

"That's interesting."

Kuta looked at Onigumo and slowly stepped forward. As he moved forward, an extremely strong mental pressure was exerted on Onigumo.

This guy was the first Hawk Faction he'd ever met in the Navy, and he was certainly resolute.

To be honest, he admired these guys' philosophy of resolutely fighting Pirates, but there was one thing he disagreed with: attacking Civilians.

As for colleagues...

On the battlefield, retreating not only disrupts morale but also sets an example by executing naval soldiers who are trying to escape out of fear of death.

Regarding this

He agrees with that point.
