Commodore Naito! The Time Has Come! (Continued)

"Have most of the people arrived by now?" Makarov asked.

Taking advantage of his height, he looked around and saw that quite a few pirate crews had already gathered on the shore of this deserted island.

"We arrived a long time ago."

The old pirate said, "But they were being very secretive, saying they had a surprise for us."

"Surprise?"

Baron raised an eyebrow. "Could he have found that monster Naito's weakness? I heard that Zephyr's family was killed back then. Could it be that he found Naito's family?"

Who knows?

The old pirate shrugged.

It was at this moment that the pirates on the coast began to stir.

"They're here!"

"Has it finally arrived?"

"So Aeron, what are your plans?"

"Yes, we're really looking forward to it. If you disappoint us, we won't let you off the hook!"

The three people, Baron and his companions, who were talking, looked up at the sound and saw a figure already standing on a gentle slope by the coast.

It was none other than the mastermind behind this pirate alliance, the great pirate with a bounty of 240 million Beli, the Sly Fox Aeron!

This guy's character is saintly among pirates. Although he robs, he rarely kills and is quite kind to his fellow pirates. In fact, many pirates have received his favors.

That's why he was able to gather so many pirates here.

"Um?"

Baron's brow furrowed slightly.

With his back to the sun, Aeron's face was shrouded in shadow and somewhat indistinct.

But why did he feel that Aeron's body was trembling?

At that moment, the leader, Aeron, suddenly collapsed to the ground, his body going limp. He screamed almost at the top of his lungs, "I'm sorry! Everyone, run!!"

Run!

Baron's mind went blank for a moment.

Where to run?

Why did you run away?

What exactly is it?

Baron's pupils contracted in an instant.

One foot.

A foot appeared from behind Aeron, kicking him to the ground. Then, the foot stomped on Aeron's face, crushing the head of this notorious pirate with a bounty of over two hundred million into the ground.

The man standing on Aeron's head looked down at everyone below the gentle slope. "The trash has finally been gathered together; it's time for it to be disposed of."

"..."

The entire room fell silent.

Because everyone saw it—the fluttering Justice Coat.

Everyone could see clearly that handsome face.

"Thousand, thousand, Thousand Shadows Naito! It's that demon!!!"

A near-desperate roar erupted from the center of a pirate crew not far away.

Then came a series of desperate screams.

Why is this monster here?!

"That guy, Aeron, betrayed us!"

"Run! Run! This monster will kill you!!"

Without any hesitation, the pirates scattered and fled frantically towards the shore.

Even a pirate like Baron, with a bounty exceeding 100 million, didn't hesitate at all.

There's no way we can win! Thousand Shadows Naito, that guy's a monster!

For the past six months or so, the Marine Guerrilla Unit has been sweeping away pirates in the New World's estuary area.

Throughout this process, Admiral Zephyr did not even lift a finger.

It's Naito!

This monster easily destroyed one pirate crew after another.

Whether they were naive newcomers to this sea or seasoned veterans who had been entrenched here for a long time, none could withstand a single, casual blow from this monster.

In just over six months, he destroyed more than twenty large pirate crews, and his total bounty has far exceeded that of the Pirate King.

As for those nameless, lowly pirate crews, they are countless.

Today, in the hearts of these pirates in the early New World, the name Naito is no different from that of a demon.

"You think you can run away from me?"

Naito smirked. "These pirates these days are really arrogant."

As he spoke, he launched himself into the air, and in the blink of an eye, he had already flown over a group of pirates.

"Serious Punch!"

Fine arcs of black electricity leaped from the black fist, but Naito just kept throwing punches down.

Buzz!

The air is wailing!

The surging, Haki torrent transformed into a pillar of light that pressed down from above!

Baron, who was fleeing at breakneck speed, looked up in disbelief; the light was about to engulf him.

Boom!

A scene resembling a nuclear explosion unfolded instantly.

The Haki shockwave crashed down like a giant wave, causing the ground to tremble and then crack. The violent shockwave immediately exploded, sending rock layers flying like brittle shells, and the entire coastline was crushed into dust.

The debris, accompanied by a shockwave, swept across the area, blasting away and engulfing several nearby groups before they could react. Even pirates from further away were almost blown away by the shockwave.

On the gentle slope, Binz felt the oncoming wind and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement, "This guy's Haki is getting more and more exaggerated."

Ain, holding a Den Den Mushi beside her, calmly said, "After all, Zephyr- sensei said he's already capable of training in a higher level of Armament Haki."

"Internal Destruction..."

Binz remarked, "After that, it'll be the Observation Haki the Future Sight, and its Coating with Conqueror's Haki, right?"

Before he knew it, Naito had become very close to becoming a truly top-tier powerhouse.

Naito stomped through the air, unleashing a series of explosive punches that instantly silenced the pirates.

However, as a price, this coastline has been completely blasted into a bay.

"Ain, did you take good pictures of my heroic figure?"

Naito floated down from the sky, landing beside Binz and Ain. "This is going to be in the newspapers."

Ain nodded calmly.

Instead, Binz rolled his eyes. "You're so vain, aren't you? When did you ever look bad in a photo?"

That's because there's no one in the world who can make me look bad.

Naito said matter-of-factly, "And watch the way you talk to me, Captain Binz."

More than half a year has passed, and Binz and Ain have successfully been promoted to captains, after all, they have benefited a lot from Naito's achievements.

"Yes, yes, yes,"

Binz gave a perfunctory salute. "Excuse me, Brigadier General Knight!"

Yes, Brigadier General Knight.

Two months ago, Naito finally crossed the line between field officer and general, becoming Commodore alongside Doll and others.

After his promotion, he was no longer Zephyr's first mate. Zephyr then applied to headquarters for another ship, Naito became the captain of the sixth ship.

Unlike Doll others, Zephyr had great faith in Naito's abilities, so he often allowed him to act alone.

As for Ain and Binz, these two burdens, Zephyr sent them to Naito's ship. Binz was his orderly, and Ain was his secretary.

These two guys are pretty strong now. They've mastered the Six Powers and Awakening their Armament Haki, although they're still at the most basic Coating stage. But they're at least at the level of officers in the Marine Headquarters, and ordinary pirates are no match for them.

"Call the boat over."

Naito said, "Arrest all the pirates who are still alive."

"Good."

When it came to serious matters, Ain didn't hesitate at all, taking out a dedicated communication Den Den Mushi to contact Ship Six.

The pirate Aeron, now acting as a guide, shakily raised his head, looking down at the carnage below, and tears streamed down his face. "It's all my fault..."

Naito stomped on the guy's head again, making it sink deep into the ground.

"It wasn't you who ruined them, it was this chaotic world that ruined them."

Government intelligence agents learned that this guy was contacting pirates in the area to plan a Naito, and then passed this information on to the Marine Guerrilla Unit.

Naito, who was dealing with a group of pirates in the nearby waters, heard about this good news and immediately came over.

After ending the call, Ain put away the Den Den Mushi and walked to Naito's side. "That way, this sea area can be a little quieter for a while."

Almost all the well-known pirates in this sea area have been wiped out.

"It's no use."

Naito casually remarked, "New pirates flood into the New World from Paradise every day. Even if we blast this sea into the sky, it's only a temporary fix."

"But it's okay."

Naito stretched and said, "When I become Fleet Admiral, that will be the end of the Great Pirate Era."

Ain smiled faintly, "Then I'll be watching with bated breath."

Binz, standing to the side, curled his lip. Being assigned to be Naito's secretary, Ain must be thrilled!

Brub brub brub.

Just then, the Den Den Mushi in Ain's arms suddenly rang.

She quickly took out her phone and answered, "This is Ain."

"Ain! Give the phone to Naito!"
