"A warship's appeared at the harbor!"
"The Admiral's here..."
Despair covered the faces of countless pirates preparing to set sail from this harbor to escape the Admiral's assault. They had never imagined he would arrive so quickly...
"If we don't escape now, we're dead!"
"Anywhere will do! Get the ship moving!"
At the sight of the slowly approaching warship, the pirates still loading supplies hastily threw down the bundles on their shoulders and fled like mad onto ships, some of which had not even finished being coated.
Just then, a rapid barrage of cannon fire rang out from the warship.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"They're firing!"
"No way! They only just got here..."
Hearing his subordinate shout, a man dressed like a captain immediately pulled a telescope from his coat and looked over. Sure enough, he spotted something unusual...
"No... something's not right!"
Through his telescope, he witnessed an astonishing sight...
"There's someone standing on it!"
"No way..."
Unbelievable as it seemed, the cannonball, along with the man standing on it, landed squarely in the crowded harbor.
The tremendous explosion drowned out the screams and cries. In front of the blinding flames, a sleazy-looking man wearing a coat emblazoned with "Justice" over a yellow-and-black suit casually raised his hand. A tiny Den Den Mushi sat on it.
With a peculiar smile, he parted his lips and spoke calmly.
"Oh... this is Kizaru!"
"I've arrived. Please respond if you can hear me!"
"?"
There was still no sound from the Den Den Mushi in Kizaru's hand. Slightly disappointed, he slowly raised his head. Seeing the pirates gathered around him, he gave an amused smile and softly uttered a few words.
"Arrest the pirates..."
Those careless words struck the surrounding pirates like a thunderclap exploding beside them. Everyone immediately fled at full speed.
