"Um..."
Bang...
Bang...
Singh nodded to him, then rushed forward, forcefully swatting away the soldiers in front of him with a large wave of his hand, instantly creating a vacuum zone in front of him.
"Hehe, then I'm going too!!"
Snap!!
After saying that, he used his power to quickly swell up, tearing his outer clothes. His body was soon covered with long, downy skin, and then a huge creature about six or seven Singh tall, half a body taller than Singh, appeared in front of everyone.
roar...
George, now a giant ape, roared to the sky and charged into the crowd, sweeping away the soldiers blocking his way with his thick arms.
"Damn it, shoot! Even if it kills them, it doesn't matter, as long as they're left behind!!"
The sergeant watched as his soldiers were swatted away one by one by the two men like rag dolls. In no time, more than a third of his troops had been cut. The sergeant could no longer bear it and ordered the guns to be opened fire.
Bang bang bang...
"Hey, guns and stuff aren't working anymore!!"
Bullets struck the giant ape George, who simply shielded his face with his arms, then with a slight tremor of his steel-like skin, deflected all the bullets.
Ding ding ding...
The bullets, now powerless, lay scattered on the ground.
"Damn it, even bullets aren't working? Devil Fruit User really that terrifying?"
Seeing that the bullets they fired hit the giant ape's flesh like pebbles hitting a rubber board, having no effect whatsoever, the soldiers became fearful. They even lost their grip on their guns, took a half-step back, and exclaimed in terror.
"Hehe, not bad, this ability... Why aren't you all going to use it? If you don't come up soon, I'm going to attack! Perfect opportunity to test my newly acquired ability... Vajra Palm Strike!!"
George was very satisfied with his ability. Looking at the soldiers whose expressions showed fear, he said smugly, then swung his hand, which was about half the size of his body, and slapped them with all his might.
Bang...
"Ah!!"
Bang...
Bang...
Bang...
"Ah!!"
George used his two ape paws to strike rapidly, following the hand gestures taught by Luo Chen. One by one, soldiers were knocked away and sent flying, some even losing consciousness before they could even scream.
Compared to the giant ape that George transformed into, Singh, who had a quarter of Giant blood, was not particularly impressive. He could only knock down a few people with his fists, which was much less efficient than George hitting a large group of people at once.
Bang... Bang!!
George continued his attack, but the number of soldiers under the sergeant's command was dwindling, and his expression grew increasingly grim.
"Damn it, are these two monsters really something we can handle?"
The sergeant was completely stunned by George and his companion's methods, and his confidence grew increasingly uncertain. His face turned even paler as he spoke.
Bang...
Several more people were sent flying by George's powerful blows, collapsing to the ground screaming and howling in pain from their severe injuries.
"Hmm? What's wrong? Is there no one left? Sir, it seems your men are all about to collapse. Are you going to take action yourself?"
George clapped his hands at empty air, then realized that the enemy in front of him was gone. Only two armed guards stood behind the sergeant, looking at them with fear, not daring to take a step forward.
The giant ape that George had transformed into wore a mocking expression as he teased the remaining officers.
"Damn it... did the butler even investigate these people's strength? He sent us to face these two monsters! There's no way we can win! It's impossible!!"
When the sergeant saw George's beastly eyes fixed on him, he panicked, his face turning even paler, and he shook his head in terror, denying it.
"Hmm, so you're just a spineless superior. Hmph, you're no better than your subordinates—a bunch of good-for-nothings. You dare come here to surround and arrest us? You're dreaming!"
Seeing that he didn't even have the courage to come up, George curled his lip and said disdainfully.
Swoosh...
"It's time to go, George, don't keep the captain and the others waiting!"
Just then, Singh appeared beside him in One Flash, reminding him that he was going a bit too far with the game.
"Okay, I understand. Let's go back to the Isel and wait for the captain and the others to return!"
Reminded by Singh, George also remembered that the two of them had important matters to attend to. He nodded in response, then his body trembled and shrank Extreme Speed, turning into a three-meter-tall half-ape-man. He and Singh quickly rushed back to the Isel.
Thump...
Seeing that the two had finally left, the sergeant's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, sweating profusely. He let out a heavy sigh of relief, and his complexion gradually returned to normal.
"Finally, they're gone. Those two killers, if they had stayed any longer, we might have lost our lives too..."
Phew!! From now on, let someone else do this kind of thing. Don't ever come to me again, it's just too terrifying!
The sergeant slumped to the ground, watching the two departing figures and muttering to himself.
clatter...
Just as he was speaking, footsteps sounded, and a figure emerged from the corner, staring at George and his companion as they left. After a moment, the figure finally spoke.
"Heh, so these two are members of Luo Chen Pirates, right? Not bad, their strength is decent. With subordinates of this strength following you, you, as the captain, must be even more powerful. Let me see if you're truly worthy of my, Frank D. Phil's, following you!!"
Hmm... ha, a bunch of useless trash. Sending so many people and they can't even hold them off for a short time. If everyone else on the island is like these people, then there's no hope...
Indeed, this person is none other than Phil, the fighter who recently landed and followed in the footsteps of Luo Chen and the others. After seeing George and the other man surrounded, he did not choose to intervene but instead watched the battle from a corner to see if the crew members were capable and to gauge the magnanimity of their captain, Luo Chen.
Judging from what he just saw, he was fairly satisfied. Although these two were not as strong as him, they still possessed the strength of pirates with a net worth of over ten million. What interested him most was Singh, whose true strength surpassed that of George, who had recently eaten a Devil Fruit. With the added advantage of his Giant bloodline, his powerful physique and astonishing strength made him comparable to a pirate with a net worth of over one hundred million.
George, who had just contributed the most and was the most flamboyant, was not yet at that level. He was worth at most around 30 million, and his abilities had not yet been developed, so he did not attract much attention.
After observing for a moment, he turned his gaze to the soldiers around him, spat on the ground, and said disdainfully.
"Um... what did you just say? Are you looking down on us? We're the second Macaron..."
The sergeant heard someone behind him looking down on their actions. He turned around and saw only Phil standing there alone. This gave him the courage he had been terrified by George and his men. He stood up and went to confront Phil.
Before he could even approach or finish speaking, an overwhelming aura erupted from Phil, pressing him down and forcing him to his knees. His teeth chattered, and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Tap... Tap... Tap...
"What were you trying to say, you useless officer? What, do you have a problem with my assessment?"
Phil slowly walked up to him, looked down at the sergeant kneeling before him, and said.
"No, we wouldn't dare! Sir, you're right, we are indeed useless. Please, sir, have mercy on us and spare us, lest we dirty your hands!"
Upon sensing this overwhelming aura, the sergeant instantly realized that the person before him was even more terrifying than the two from before. The mere release of his aura was enough to overwhelm him and his companions, leaving them utterly powerless. Being somewhat timid by nature, he quickly begged Phil for mercy.
"Yeah, you're right. This piece of trash wouldn't even let me get my hands dirty. Get out of here and don't pollute my view, or else..."
Phil agreed, thinking that these spineless guys weren't worth his time, and thus rebuked them.
"Yes, yes, I'll leave right away... Hurry up!!"
Upon receiving the message that they could retreat, the sergeant quickly thanked them and led his two men to flee the terrifying place without stopping.
"Heh... it's time to set off... I hope the Luo Chen Pirates won't disappoint me!!"
Phil scoffed at the disheveled figures fleeing in disarray, then looked in the direction George and his companion had gone and followed them.
At the same time, near Monbuma's house, Catherine and her two companions also ended their battle.
"Resolved..."
Catherine withdrew her Flowing Shadow and looked at Lulith, asking a question.
"Yeah, nobody can stand up anymore!!"
Lulith nodded slightly in reply.
"Gentlemen, shouldn't we head back to the ship? I'd like to get to know your Captain Luo Chen; what kind of person is he?"
Beside them, Monbuma withdrew her steel rod and looked at the two of them, saying...
"Okay, it's time for us to go back..."
Catherine agreed, and then walked past a group of officers kneeling on one knee with incredulous expressions on their faces, heading towards the location of the ship, Isel.
The other two quickly followed, leaving behind a large group of soldiers who had collapsed and were lying on the ground.
"Hey!! What's going on? Why haven't those guys come back yet? Did they get caught doing something wrong? Sigh, as a captain, I'm always worrying about these crew members. They really don't understand the difficulties of being a captain..."
At this moment, a man sat on the outer fence of the Isel, looking into the island to see if anyone would appear. After a long time, seeing that no one had come, he couldn't help but complain to his crew.
That's right, this person is Luo Chen, who defeated and killed Limon. After killing Limon, he casually strolled around the island and, finding it uninteresting, rushed back to the ship. However, the others had not yet returned. Luo Chen waited and waited for a long time but still did not see anyone. So, he sat alone on the ship and berated the crew members for their faults, not realizing that it was his own trouble that had caused his crew members to suffer the consequences and be stranded on the island for so long without being able to return.
