What You Marines Cannot Do, Shadow Garden Will Do!

The surrounding marines stared blankly at this scene for a long time before resuming moving the boxes.

The atmosphere was no different from before, except that it was even more somber!

The retired veteran was nearly killed after being kicked by a Vice Admiral, even if it was just a casual kick.

He lay on the ground, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, staring intently at the warm room, his entire being covered in cold snow, his eyes filled with unfathomable hatred.

But no matter how much he hated them, he couldn't harm Wapol or Vice Admiral Doberman in the slightest.

He had no power; he could neither save his granddaughter nor kill Wapol.

Without external assistance, his only fate would be to freeze to death under the watchful eyes of numerous naval personnel.

But the retired veteran was lucky; when his life was plunged into despair by lawless tyranny, an even stronger and warmer hand descended from the sky!

This is what Ivan saw when he arrived at the port.

A weathered retired veteran coughed up blood on the ground, and the numerous navy personnel around him deliberately ignored him, letting the veteran die.

Some sailors may have wanted to rescue the veteran, but they were stopped by their comrades.

They are well aware that today's veterans could very well be their future selves.

But they dared not make a move, because if they did, Vice Admiral Doberman would not hesitate to kill another person.

This is the biggest drawback of the extraordinary world: in the face of the strong, numbers are never important.

Only the strong can defeat the strong!

Taking a deep breath and exhaling a hazy white mist, Ivan descended from the sky, landing beside the retired veteran.

He crouched down, his palm emitting a green light, stabilizing the retired veteran's injuries, and calmly asked:

"Do you want revenge? I can help you!"

Inside the port office.

"Cheers!"

The transparent glass glasses clinked together, and the crimson wine inside rippled slightly, as if endless blood had settled within them.

Wapol's ugly cheeks flushed with drunkenness as he raised his glass in a gesture of farewell.

"Hmm, hahaha! Vice Admiral Doberman, you've had a tough escort mission this time. Please take extra care of those slaves and personally hand them over to Saint Charlos."

Saint Charlos had just lost his father and hoped these slaves would help him recover.

Vice Admiral Doberman laughed heartily, his demeanor completely different from when he faced numerous navy personnel, showing no trace of coldness. "Rest assured, Your Majesty Wapol, Saint Charlos will certainly appreciate your gift!"

Just then, a loud bang came from outside, followed by a barrage of gunfire.

Vice Admiral Doberman frowned slightly and apologized to Wapol:

"I apologize, Your Majesty Wapol, something has come up outside. I need to go and take care of it."

Wapol also stood up. "In that case, Vice Admiral Doberman, I will go with you."

Doberman nodded, pushed open the door and stepped out. As soon as he appeared, the previously defeated navy was immediately invigorated, and their faces lit up with joy.

"Vice Admiral Doberman; this guy is definitely no match for Vice Admiral Doberman!"

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a figure suddenly appeared in Doberman. A fist wrapped in a special Bioelectric Aura was stained black, broke the sound barrier, and slammed into Doberman's cheek.

The next moment, the strongest warrior escorting the Heavenly Tribute was directly knocked away, his figure smashing through countless buildings before landing on the mountainside of a distant snow-capped mountain.

Minutes earlier, Ivan arrived at the port, knelt down, and asked the veteran if he wanted revenge.

The veteran's consciousness was blurred, but the hatred in his heart ignited his potential.

With his last ounce of strength, he roared in fury, "They don't deserve to be kings, much less navy! Please, kill them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the veteran's head lolled to the side, and he fainted.

Once the veteran's condition stabilized, Ivan stopped performing his Medical Ninjutsu and stood up.

His actions had already attracted the attention of the navy, and led by a colonel, the navy surrounded Ivan.

The colonel glanced at Ivan, his gaze lingering on the tattered Tanuki mask, a hint of impatience in his eyes.

Another Shadow Garden Copy? Can't these guys just stay quiet for a bit? Just along the way, they've encountered more than a dozen Shadow Garden Copy.

Among the dozen or so people were pirates, commoners, and even nobles, which was truly annoying.

The colonel waved his hand and said in a tone used to shoo away a beggar, "Kid, get lost! If you show up in front of me again wearing that annoying mask, I'll kill you!"

Ivan was aware of the growing trend of masks on the high seas and understood why the colonel hadn't recognized himself as the real Tanuki.

He shook his head. "Sorry, I can't leave. I have things to do."

The colonel laughed in anger, snatched the pistol from his subordinate, and pointed it at Ivan: "Idiot, now tell me, what are you going to do first?"

This is the most effective way to deal with Shadow Garden Copy; just point a gun at them and they'll run away in a panic.

These Copy are so stupid! Do they really think they're Tanuki just because they're wearing the same mask?

However, the Copy in front of them did not run away; instead, he took two steps forward.

This puzzled the colonel, and a sense of foreboding crept into his heart.

"Wait, what are you doing?" he warned again, determined that if this warning didn't work, he would shoot!

Ivan stopped, tilted his head, as if answering the colonel's question, or perhaps talking to himself:

What do I want to do?

Haha, I'm doing what your navy is supposed to do: uphold justice on the high seas and seek justice for the weak!

I will eradicate evil and punish the crimes you dare not and cannot punish!

I want to fight corruption, destroy slavery, and restore a more peaceful environment to the ocean, instead of this cesspool it is in now!

You asked me what I'm going to do? Well, I'll tell you now.

Crimes the Navy cannot punish, the Shadow Garden will punish; those the Navy dares not kill, the Shadow Garden will kill; matters the Navy dares not handle, the Shadow Garden will handle!

In short, the Shadow Garden what the Navy can manage, and it's even more so what the Navy can't manage. That's what the Shadow Garden is all about!

Am I clear or not?

The moment the words were spoken, the entire room fell silent!

At the same time, the colonel finally realized that something was wrong; this guy in front of him didn't seem to be an imposter!

Realizing this, the colonel decisively ordered, "All men, fire at this guy with all your might!"

Bang bang bang!

Amidst the dense gunfire, bullets rained down on Ivan like a torrential downpour, leaving him no room to dodge.

Ivan didn't try to dodge. He took out a small knife engraved with the words "Shadow Garden" and held it in front of the veteran, swinging it rapidly.

This dense hail of bullets was easily cleaved apart by a small knife!

Ahead, the colonel, witnessing this scene, grew paler and paler. He finally realized that the man before him was not one of those clumsy Copy from before.

He is the fastest man in the ocean, surpassing even Admiral Kizaru — Tanuki!
