Soccer Prodigy / Wiping Them All Out

Area 21, Sabaody Archipelago, Bar

"Wow, there are so many people! Excuse me... could you buy me a drink?"

"This... is marine debris!"

Swish!

A cold voice came from the crowd that had been watching, and immediately a lot of eyes turned to the source of the voice. A navy man, about 20 years old, tall, with a rugged face and sharp eyes, stepped out from the crowd.

"Marine Vice Admiral? Could it be that man...?"

"That must be it. Only that man in the Sabaody has that kind of spirit!"

Gellman, sitting at the bar, naturally noticed the commotion Atlas had caused. He brushed aside his slightly disheveled long hair, his eyes seemingly unfocused, and smiled at Atlas as he approached, "Is it... the life-saving liquor?"

"Such fierce eyes, no wonder he's Supernovas with a bounty of 220 million Beli," Atlas looked Gellman up and down, his tone suddenly turning cold.

"But... what gave you the courage to be so arrogant in front of me?"

Swish!

No sooner had he finished speaking than Atlas's hand appeared in front of Gellman in an instant, almost like a blur.

Snap!

A slap, accompanied by a terrifying shriek, landed heavily on Gellman's face, followed by a dull but not crisp thud.

"So you're Logia Fruit user."

"Really,"

"That's interesting!"

Atlas stared at the pile of mud on the ground, with bubbles occasionally rising from it. The bar floor was rapidly decomposing, and a strong stench of decay immediately filled the entire space.

"This guy is actually a rare Logia Devil Fruit User!"

"No wonder his bounty is so much higher than other Supernovas; this young Marine Vice Admiral is going to suffer a great loss."

"Hehehe! It's just a Logia Devil Fruit, don't underestimate our Vice Admiral!"

"It's said that Vice Admiral Atlas defeated a great Pirates of Shichibukai caliber during his recruit days."

"Really? Is it that strong?"

The Logia Devil Fruit Devil Fruit, known as the most powerful of the three types, was now truly on display before everyone. However, among the crowd were some knowledgeable people who knew that the Logia Devil Fruit was not an invincible ability.

Glug... Glug...

With a shift in form, the mud on the ground instantly transformed back into Gellman's gloomy appearance.

"That's incredible speed! I almost didn't have time to transform into my elemental form."

"However... you can't defeat me."

"I am... a Logia -Devil Fruit User the Logia - Swamp Fruit!"

Although Gellman was still shaken by the slap he had just received, he had almost never been defeated since he obtained the Devil Fruit, and was the strongest among the Supernovas.

In his view, the elemental nature that Logia bestowed upon him would guarantee his invincibility.

"Looks like I've been underestimated. What a... frog in a well!"

Atlas was speechless as he looked at Gellman with a mocking expression. He had only casually slapped him, but he hadn't expected that the guy would have the illusion that he could defeat him.

"Let's go outside to fight. If we break anything here, it'll put me in a really difficult position!"

Atlas looked around before finally fixing his gaze on Gellman's face.

"What does that have to do with me? I'm Pirates..."

The moment the words left her lips, a long, slender leg draped in Armament Haki came hurtling towards her.

How could it be so fast!

Gellman screamed inwardly. His optic nerves caught a glimpse of the afterimage, but his brain couldn't process it at all. His body was like a malfunctioning machine, and he could only watch helplessly as the gleaming military boots rapidly magnified in his pupils.

Bang!

"Wow, that's pretty accurate. Looks like I do have some football talent."

Atlas watched as Gellman's disheveled body flew precisely out of the door without even damaging the door frame, and couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

"Are you... are you kidding me?!"

"What was that black thing just now? Why couldn't I transform into elemental form for a moment?"

At the bar entrance, Gellman had a clear shoe print on his face, the indented pattern perfectly replicating Atlas's sole. His expression was no longer nonchalant; instead, he looked at Atlas was slowly walking out of the bar, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Snap!

Snap!

Snap!

The crisp sound of leather shoes striking the hard ground echoed in Gellman's ears, each step feeling like a blow to his heart, and cold sweat quickly streamed down his forehead.

"Looks like we need to speed things up; it's almost lunchtime."

Atlas completely ignored the alarmed Gellman, looked up at the sky, and said with some distress.

"Stop looking down on us, you damn navy bastard!"

Gellman was somewhat annoyed, even concealing his originally serious expression. Although the Navy in front of him displayed extremely terrifying strength, he was no pushover with his Logia Devil Fruit!

"Shave!"

A huge crater instantly appeared in the hard ground, and countless cracks spread outwards, accompanied by a terrifying airburst.

Let's go!

Another side kick!

Biu!

A terrified Gellman was kicked away again, and Atlas knew exactly where he was going.

"Hmm... not bad, judging by the speed, it should be about right, time for the next one!"

"Hiss~ Who was that again?"

"What a coincidence! Why don't you two stay and let me treat you to a simple meal?"

Sanchez, who was preparing for a tactical retreat, was suddenly startled and instinctively looked up at the large tree above his head.

"Navy!?" ×2

Suddenly, a navy officer dressed in a white Suit and wearing Justice Cloak appeared on the previously empty tree, startling Sanchez and Otluk.

Although their attention had been focused on each other, their Pirates fighting habits meant they would instinctively divert some of their attention to their surroundings. But the fact that this man had appeared so silently above them sent chills down their spines.

"Hey! You two really have no manners."

"I was just inviting you guys to... dinner!"

With that, Atlas leaped into the air.

Boom!

A huge cloud of smoke billowed up, and Atlas slowly emerged, revealing his sharp face.

"However, this food might not be very tasty."

"What nonsense are you spouting to yourself?"

Unable to bear the seemingly neurotic navy man before him, Otluk launched a verbal attack first.

"What I said... was all the truth!"

Chapter 119 One Pot

Sabaody Archipelago.

This is an open space, with no residential areas around it, only tall trees scattered all around.

"You guys... were also kicked here by that bastard navy?"

His voice was somewhat hoarse, clearly indicating that he felt embarrassed about being treated like a football.

"..."

Silence! A moment of silence!

There were four people present.

Ulasova, Gluttonous Woman with a muscular physique in her normal form.

With long, flowing hair, tattered clothes, and mud dripping from his body, and clear shoe prints on his face, Gellman was a man of considerable stature.

And then there were the menacing-looking Sanchez and Otluk, staring at each other with wide eyes.

"Hey! I told you if we had attacked together, we might have taken that guy down!"

"You make it sound so easy! Why didn't you go first? Look, I got slapped several times by that guy!"

Sanchez became increasingly agitated as he spoke, even pointing to the handprint on half of his face and questioning Otluk.

"Aren't you Zoan Devil Fruit user? Aren't you supposed to be able to withstand more damage than me? If you had held off for a while and I had attacked from behind, we wouldn't have been kicked flying like that."

"Heh, I think you're trying to take advantage of me, aren't you?"

Gellman, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, finally couldn't take it anymore. His forehead throbbed, and his lips twitched. Were these two clowns? And was that guy who brought up the handprint mocking the shoe print on my face?

"Stop arguing, you guys! Let's scatter and run for our lives!"

Gellman actually looked down on the others, after all, the other Supernovas had bounties of just over 100 million, while he had over 200 million, so he believed that his strength was far superior to theirs.

"You can't escape!"

The muscular woman Uranova, shook her head.

"Hmm?" ×3

These words immediately drew three pairs of eyes, and even Sanchez and Otluk, who had been chattering away, fell silent, waiting for Ulasova's explanation.

"You must be wondering why that navy officer was able to find us so quickly."

"Could it be the Navy's intelligence agency?"

"No, it's Haki!"

"Haki?" ×3

"Yes, that should be Observation Haki, and a super strong Observation Haki at that. I bet our every move is being monitored by that Marine."

"What?" ×2

A bad feeling immediately arose in Sanchez and Otluk's hearts.

Gellman, standing to the side, seemed thoughtful. "Is there a layer of black substance in Haki that can grasp the physical form of Logia Fruit users? (There was some debate about whether Haki has color in the eyes of Awakening users, so I'll just say it has color here for consistency, since the anime and manga contradict each other, it's not my fault.)"

"Hmm? You're a Logia Devil Fruit User?"

Uranova was somewhat surprised. No wonder this guy's bounty was so much higher than theirs. His Logia elemental transformation was simply too powerful. He could basically roam freely in the first half of the Grand Line.

How did you know?

Are you an idiot?

"You..."

Gellman's face showed slight anger, but he held back, turning his gaze to Uranova, awaiting the answer to his question.

Armament Haki!

Uranova did not disappoint him, mainly because she was afraid that he might attack her in a fit of rage.

"Clap! Clap! Clap! It's rare to find someone who understands Haki in the first half!"

Just as Gellman was about to discuss the information about Haki with Uranova, a burst of applause suddenly rang in the ears of the Pirates.

"It's you again?"
