With just a light tap from Zesi, cracks actually spread through the air.
Those fractures kept spreading until they reached the giant magma fist.
The raging, scorching magma fist began to crumble apart.
In the end, it fell to the ground in fragments whose flames had gone out.
Jason's jaw dropped in shock.
Just who were they up against?
Had even space been shattered by that tap?
At that moment, Jason couldn't help recalling what Zesi had just said: "You should be asking whether this world dares to make an enemy of me!"
He had thought Zesi was far too conceited and arrogant.
But now, he suddenly felt that Zesi's words weren't entirely without foundation.
"That ability? I think I've heard of it somewhere!"
A voice rang out, and a stern young man wearing a red suit with a Marine coat draped over his shoulders slowly walked toward them.
"It's him, Marine Vice Admiral Sakazuki. I never expected the Marines to send him as reinforcement!"
Jason spoke with a look of surprise when he saw the newcomer.
At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As a member of Cipher Pol, even in a department dedicated to combat like CP9, his knowledge of intelligence was beyond what most people possessed.
That was especially true when it came to a department like the Marines, who were both allies and rivals.
That was why they knew the Marines so well.
Marine Vice Admiral Sakazuki hadn't been in the Marines for very many years.
But because of his formidable strength, Marine Headquarters had focused on nurturing him, and in just a few years, he had already risen to the rank of Headquarters Vice Admiral.
On top of that, he was a user of the Logia Magma-Magma Fruit, making his strength utterly terrifying.
Rumor had long held that he was already one of Marine Headquarters' three designated candidates for Marine Admiral.
Magma-that was a catastrophic power.
With him here, no matter how powerful this member of the Brunei Family was, he couldn't possibly be a match for Sakazuki.
Sakazuki was a future monster of the Marines, a Marine Admiral!
"I heard the Marines have three Logia Devil Fruit users. I've already met Kuzan and Borsalino, so you must be the last one, Sakazuki, the Magma-Magma Fruit user," Zesi said with a smile as he looked at the newcomer.
"To think a mere Brunei Family was hiding such an important figure. Pirate King Roger's right-hand man, the man known for carrying natural disasters wherever he goes," Sakazuki said, looking up with a cold smile.
"The Pirate King's right-hand man, the man known for carrying natural disasters wherever he goes? He's Natural Disaster!" Jason cried out, his face filled with disbelief.
Without question, the biggest topic on the seas right now was Pirate King Roger, who had completed a voyage around the world, reached Laugh Tale, and found the one-of-a-kind One Piece.
As newspapers continued jumping on the story, the exploits of Pirate King Roger and his Roger Pirates were reported one after another.
When it came to the Roger Pirates, there were two people who simply couldn't be left out.
One was Dark King Rayleigh.
He was the longest-serving member of the Roger Pirates, as well as their vice-captain.
He was a monster whose strength rivaled Pirate King Roger's.
The other was Natural Disaster.
Although Natural Disaster hadn't been with the Roger Pirates for long and had only been at sea for five or six short years, he was already an absolutely terrifying monster on the seas.
Because he was the user of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
Everyone had once feared that fruit like a tiger, calling it the suicide Devil Fruit.
But in Zesi's hands, it had become a terrifying power capable of causing earthquakes, raising tsunamis, and shaking space.
He was called a walking natural disaster.
The Marines' powerful fleet in the New World.
The Golden Lion's mighty, arrogant fleet.
Both had suffered losses at his hands.
Marine Headquarters had even issued orders allowing Marines who encountered Natural Disaster to abandon their missions and retreat.
He was an existence that human strength couldn't contend with.
Although Jason and the other two had never seen Natural Disaster, his name was certainly thunderous in their ears.
They had never expected the person they had just attacked to be Natural Disaster.
At that thought, cold sweat poured from Jason's forehead.
Even Youpi and Lampkin, lying on the ground at death's door, widened their eyes when they heard it.
Meanwhile, aboard the World Government's ship.
A World Government staff member hurried over to the senior Cipher Pol official.
"Reporting, sir! We've identified that man!"
"Who is he? I'd like to see just who dared to cost Cipher Pol men and humiliate us like this!" the senior Cipher Pol official asked coldly.
"After comparing the photo we just took with the wanted poster, that... that man is Natural Disaster Zesi!" the World Government staff member said, his face filled with panic.
"What? Natural Disaster Zesi? Pirate King Roger's right-hand man? That man known for carrying natural disasters wherever he goes? Are you sure?" the senior Cipher Pol official asked, his mouth hanging open in disbelief.
"Yes, and Marine Headquarters just sent a message ordering us to suspend all operations against the Brunei Family. Pirate King Roger's right-hand man, Natural Disaster, is the Brunei Family's current head, Wenlai Zesi!" the World Government staff member said.
"So we were provoking a monster!" Cold sweat poured off the senior Cipher Pol official.
