"Oh, so this is Pirate Hachinosu? Not bad island, but it's a pity it's occupied by pirates. Well then, today I'll set them right and bring them back under the jurisdiction of the World Government!" A thousand meters above Hachinosu, a purple-haired man hovered in the sky.
His existence completely defied the laws of humanity, as if humans were inherently meant to soar high in the sky.
" Azure Emperor Zesi, let me test just how strong you are!" The purple-haired man drew a long sword from his waist.
"Legend has it that the Azure Emperor Zesi can fuse Devil Fruit, Armament Haki, and swordsmanship into one. How terrifying, how terrifying! But this isn't difficult for me. I can do it easily if I want to."
"Like this, Phoenix Cry World-Cleansing Slash, go and say hello!"
A purple flame suddenly appeared on the long sword in the purple-haired man's hand.
With a single sword strike, the purple flames transformed into a purple phoenix, emitting a clear, high-pitched cry as it shot towards the Hachinosu a thousand meters below.
The incredibly clear sound of a phoenix's cry came from high above, causing everyone on Hachinosu to involuntarily raise their heads.
When they looked up, everyone was taken aback.
A gigantic purple firebird was seen swooping down from the sky.
His target was the central palace of Hachinosu, the Azure Emperor Palace.
The officers of the Azure Emperor Pirates and Azure Emperor of the Sea lived there.
"What is that?" Many people exclaimed in surprise when they saw the purple firebird.
"Enemy attack!" The purple firebird drew closer and closer, and at that moment, the Death Army protecting the Azure Emperor Palace also realized that an enemy attack was coming.
They all shouted and twirled their spears, aiming the tips at the firebirds flying down from the sky.
Then he suddenly hurled the spear in his hand at the purple firebird.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" One after another, spears flew out and quickly struck the firebirds that were flying down.
These spears failed to stop the firebird's momentum, swiftly piercing through its body as it continued its flight towards the Azure Emperor Palace.
"Don't even think about succeeding!" Just as the purple firebird was about to hit the Azure Emperor Palace, several members of the Azure Emperor Pirates rushed out, drawing their long swords and slashing at the oncoming purple firebird.
But when their blades struck the purple firebird, the blades easily passed right through it.
Then the purple firebird passed over the crew members.
At the same time, purple flames engulfed several crew members.
"Ah!" The temperature of this purple flame isn't that high.
But as it burned, several team members Flower Wither, instantly turning into mummies and falling to the ground.
"What kind of flame is that?!"
"Why are my clothes intact, but my body burned like a mummy?"
"This flame is taking lives; it's burning away the very life force within us!"
Those around who witnessed this exclaimed in surprise.
Just then, a figure rushed out at incredible speed and threw a punch at the purple firebird.
The man's fist hadn't even landed on the purple firebird yet, but the firebird had already been blasted apart.
After the purple firebird was destroyed, it scattered in all directions.
The scattering flames were also very strange.
When it encounters ordinary, inanimate objects, it doesn't West City catch fire and the flames quickly go out.
However, once it touches a living creature, the purple flames immediately surge, engulfing and burning the creature, burning ever more fiercely until it turns the person into a mummy.
"What troublesome flames!" Bullet had just punched the flames away, frowned deeply upon seeing this.
"Such a powerful Haki! I didn't expect that besides the Azure Emperor, the Azure Emperor Pirates would have such a strong member as you!" A purple-haired man slowly flew down and said.
"Navy? Never seen one before? Who are you?" Bullet asked in surprise, looking at the newcomer who was wearing a navy overcoat.
"Rumor has it that the World Government recruited a purple flame user in a mysterious kingdom in the first half of the Grand Line. No one knows his name, but he is known as the Admiral Purple Foal. It must be him!" At this moment, a voice came, and Zesi slowly appeared in front of everyone.
" Azure Emperor!" all the Death Army and pirate crew members respectfully called out to Zesi.
"No more duty here, everyone evacuate!" Zesi commanded.
"Yes!" The Death Army and pirate members immediately retreated.
"Don't worry, I don't have any plans to go on a killing spree here. Although there are many pirates here, there are also many civilians. After all, my flames are not something ordinary people can withstand!" said Admiral Purple Foal.
"I'm not afraid that your abilities will harm them; I'm afraid my attacks will affect them as well!"
Zesi said calmly, as endless shockwaves emanated from Zesi body.
The shockwave itself wasn't particularly harmful, but the endless, relentless vibrations sent the Purple Foal flying.
"This guy can fly, let me handle this!" Zesi said.
"Our crew members cannot have died in vain!" Bullet said grimly.
These crew members, even the Death Army, were trained by Bullet and his men.
Although he was very strict when training them, everyone who came out of his training camp was his disciple.
Bullet's face darkened as he saw these crew members and Death Army lying dead here.
"Don't worry, although the pirate crew is growing, every official crew member is our partner, our brother. I won't let them die in vain!" Zesi said calmly.
