It Was Him, and Only He Possessed Such Terrifying Strength!

The next moment, a sharp blade of energy slashed out from the longsword in Onigumo's hand, precisely striking Smoker's chest and leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound!

Facing a veteran Vice Admiral, Smoker was powerless to resist.

His body flew backward and crashed heavily onto the deck.

Now, his Jitte were out of his grasp, and the wound on his chest was so deep that the bone was visible. The excruciating pain caused his whole body to convulse, and his consciousness gradually blurred. He no longer had the strength to resist.

As Onigumo continued to issue orders, he could only watch helplessly, and at that moment, he hated himself immensely.

He hated his own weakness and the cruelty of Onigumo.

But what good is all the hatred he may have?

He could only lie on the ground, staring intently at the Onigumo, filled with nothing but anger and resentment.

At the same time, Ivan's image suddenly came to mind.

If it were Ivan now, he should be able to save those civilians, right?

Onigumo coldly sheathed his longsword, cursing Smoker, "Foolish thing, I'll deal with you later!"

Then, in an impatient tone, he ordered the marines, "What are you all standing there for? Fire immediately! If you spoil His Majesty's enjoyment, you will all die!"

"Yes, Vice Admiral Onigumo!" The marines dared not disobey and quickly turned to leave.

Moments later, the cannons of the Marine warship roared, and shells streaked through the air, hurtling toward the square of Loguetown.

A catastrophe is about to befall us!

Boom!

Boom!

Shells rained down on the Loguetown.

Explosions rang out one after another, the ground in Loguetown shook violently, debris flew everywhere, and smoke and dust filled the air.

The Straw Hat Pirates immediately noticed this and their expressions changed drastically.

Luffy's smile vanished instantly. He clenched his fists and roared, "Damn bastards! They attacked civilians!"

In his mind, although the Navy was chasing pirates and the two were enemies, the Navy was different from pirates. The Navy was a force for justice that protected the poor and would never harm those they were protecting.

That's right, just like his grandfather!

But what's up with these guys?

Their direct bombardment of Loguetown caused even more casualties than the pirates!

Luffy up first, transforming himself into a rubber ball to block the cannonballs one by one.

Zoro gripped his longsword and cleaved two approaching cannonballs in two. The other Straw Hat Pirates members also joined in, trying to stop the bombardment.

However, their strength was too weak, and they were ultimately unable to completely intercept the dense barrage of gunfire from the warships.

Several stray shells were seen falling towards the densely populated area of the square, and tragedy was imminent.

Suddenly, the entire Loguetown began to tremble violently!

Everyone present felt the ground beneath their feet shake rapidly, followed by a sudden darkness as if something was rising rapidly!

When everyone looked up, their expressions changed drastically!

Suddenly, the ground outside the Loguetown rose up with a roar!

Countless rocks rapidly ascended, and in the blink of an eye, a rock wall hundreds of meters high and tens of meters wide and thick rose from the ground!

It was like an indestructible barrier, isolating all artillery fire and firmly protecting the entire Loguetown!

Several shells struck the rock wall, but these shells, which were enough to easily destroy houses and kill civilians, could not cause any damage to the high-density rock wall.

At this point, the Marine warship artillery barrage had completely lost its intended effect!

The crisis was averted in an instant. The civilians in the square, having survived the ordeal, collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

After they came to their senses, they stared blankly at the wall in the distance, which resembled a city wall, and couldn't help but wonder, who built this wall?

Not to mention ordinary people, even Luffy, Devil Fruit User, was speechless at this moment.

His voice was full of amazement. "Wow, what kind of ability is this? It's incredible! To be able to build such a tall stone wall!"

Having just set sail, he had never seen such a powerful Devil Fruit ability before, and found everything before him utterly unbelievable.

Unlike Luffy's astonishment, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp's expressions changed drastically, their eyes fixed on the rock wall.

Zoro murmured softly, his tone certain. "It's Rock Manipulation, and such precise, such powerful manipulation—"

Usopp's eyes reddened slightly, and his voice trembled a little. "There's no mistake, on this vast ocean, only he, only Mr. Fox, possesses such a terrifying ability to control rocks!"

They will never forget the Fox's kindness.

To them, the Fox was a savior, a mysterious and powerful being, and also a target to be pursued.

That's why they paid extra attention to the Fox and knew all the information about him that was published.

Clearly, the Fox has appeared, in Loguetown!

Hearing Zoro and the others' conversation, Luffy paused, turned to look at Zoro, and asked curiously, "Is that the Fox you were talking about, the benefactor? Who exactly is he? He's amazing!"

Before Zoro could answer, a familiar figure slowly appeared in the distant Sky Manipulation.

The figure, wearing Fox mask, exuded an aura of immense pressure, no less than that of the Four Seas—it was none other than the Fox of the Shadow Garden!

He landed on the rocky wall, his gaze coldly fixed on the distant Marine warship, and a slow, dark Inazuma erupted from within him!

Clearly, his appearance was not only to intercept the shells, but also to stop the Onigumo's atrocities.

The atmosphere at the scene immediately changed eerily after the Fox appeared.

All the navy personnel stood frozen in place, not daring to move.

Although the Fox did not unleash its Conqueror's Haki, its biological instinct in the face of a monster still made these ants give up resistance and quietly listen to the monster's judgment!

Of course, Onigumo is not among them!

Seeing that the cannonballs were ineffective against Straw Hat Puzzle, Onigumo raised his long sword, intending to ambush and kill Straw Hat Puzzle, when he suddenly caught sight of the figure on the rock wall and froze.

The violence on his face vanished instantly, replaced by an undisguised fear.

He knew the Fox's strength all too well; a core member of the Shadow Garden, known for his unpredictable methods and formidable power.

Even Garp couldn't stop him in the end; such a monster was simply beyond the capabilities of Vice Admiral like himself.

But the next second, fear was replaced by an intense excitement, and Onigumo's eyes lit up instantly.

The appearance of the Fox is not only a crisis, but also an opportunity!

Perhaps this time we have a chance to completely eliminate the Fox and cause Shadow Garden to lose an Admiral!

Thinking of this, Onigumo quickly pulled out Den Den Mushi and shouted into it, "Admiral Akainu Den Den Mushi, urgent report! The Fox from the Shadow Garden has appeared in Loguetown! Requesting immediate support! Requesting immediate support!"

After saying that, he hung up the Den Den Mushi, forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart, deliberately raising his voice, and scolding the Fox with a fierce but weak tone. "Fox, how dare you show yourself!"

You narrowly escaped before, but this time the righteous navy won't let you escape again!
