"You, what are you doing, you bastard!" Urgot's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
What did he just see?
That ugly bastard actually sucked all the poisonous mist into his stomach?
Are you playing around by smoking, kid?
But why is that bastard fine?
Urgot was stunned. He was certain that the new concoction he made was highly toxic. Even he, with his poison resistance, couldn't last three minutes.
"The other kid wouldn't also…" Urgot rembered Sakazuki on the other side and quickly turned to check.
But he found that the highly toxic green ball he had thrown at Sakazuki hadn't exploded.
Sakazuki was holding the green ball with his bare hands, as if playing with an ordinary toy.
"What exactly is going on?" At this mont, Urgot's worldview was about to collapse.
Had he been away from the world for too long? Or had this world changed too quickly?
Whoosh!
The next mont, Sakazuki suddenly stood up and rushed towards Urgot at high speed.
Swish!
Along the way, Sakazuki, holding his sword, cut down more than a dozen pirates from the Urgot Pirates.
In less than a second, Sakazuki's cold, gleaming blade was already striking down on Urgot's head.
"Damn it!"
In this critical mont, Urgot quickly tried his best to dodge, but he was ultimately a step too late.
Chii!
The sound of a sharp blade cutting rang out, making one subconsciously imagine the scene of a blade slicing through flesh and blood splattering.
The blade cut across Urgot's neck. Sakazuki stopped and did not continue to follow up with another strike.
"Woo woo!"
Urgot staggered backward, clutching his profusely bleeding neck, making 'woo woo' sounds, but unable to speak any words.
After struggling to run a few steps, he seed to run out of strength, falling down with a 'thud', squirming a few tis before becoming completely still.
Dark red blood spread out from beneath him. The blood seed to be corrosive, burning the rocky ground and causing smoke to rise.
Magellan, being more experienced in handling highly toxic substances, proactively ca to deal with the aftermath.
All the remaining living mbers of the Urgot Pirates were arrested. These people offered almost no further resistance.
In reality, apart from Urgot himself, the other mbers of the Urgot Pirates were not particularly strong. Most of them were just there to make up the numbers and had no bounties whatsoever.
"Damn it, who exactly are these two people?"
"Hmm, these two seem to be subordinates of that middle-aged Marine over there. Who is that person?"
Even after the pirate crew was annihilated, this group of pirates still couldn't recognize Kenji's identity.
In fact, for ordinary people and low-level pirates, the world's top powerhouses are legendary figures whom they might never see in their entire lives.
Even if such legends stood before them, they might not recognize them, such as Garp, Rayleigh, and other important figures.
Moreover, Kenji was wearing casual clothes this ti.
"Make sure the battlefield is completely cleaned up!" Kenji instructed the Marine lieutenant in charge of cleaning up the battlefield.
He had not participated in this battle from beginning to end. It was entirely handled by his subordinates—Sakazuki and Magellan.
Just as he was quietly waiting for the system's judgnt, his phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Kong at Marineford.
"Kenji, return to Marineford imdiately! The Five Elders have agreed to the subsequent compensatory asures, and you are needed to escort another batch of Heavenly Tribute!"
"Heh heh, Kong, you should know . Do you think I would do sothing like that?"
"...Alright, I'll send soone else to handle it, but you should take a vacation for now. I'll notify you after I've finished handling things here."
After Kong finished speaking, he directly hung up the call, still as decisive and efficient as ever, without any procrastination.
Kenji looked at the disconnected Den Den Mushi, raising an eyebrow. "Am I on paid leave?"
However, very quickly, he saw the system prompt appear in his vision.
[You have successfully dealt with the Urgot Pirates, who caused the disturbance, and Loguetown has returned to peace!]
[Mission (Side): Resolve the Urgot Pirates! — Completed!]
[Rewards are being distributed...]
[Your Conqueror's Haki (Dark Blue) has been upgraded to Conqueror's Haki (Super Blue)!]
"It really succeeded!" Kenji nodded to himself, a smile appearing in his eyes.
This side mission was part of the garrison mission: maintaining law and order in Loguetown.
The system's judgnt of mission completion ant that Kenji's previous speculation was largely correct.
"Now, I can look forward to the results in a week."
Kenji took one last look at the restored order in Loguetown, then stood up and led the Marineford elite soldiers back to the warship.
In Loguetown, Sakazuki began to train the stationed Marine, while Magellan had soone prepare a dark, sealed room for him to move into.
...
New World, Flying Pirates Headquarters — a floating island tens of thousands of ters high.
On this island, large pirate ships were docked, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Countless pirates gathered on the island, each holding weapons, ready to set sail.
At the very front of the crowd, on the highest steps, the Legendary Pirate 'Golden Lion' Shiki, full of vigor, overlooked and reviewed the pirate fleet below.
"Gyahahaha!"
Shiki stretched out his hand, grasping fiercely towards the distant world, his eyes glinting with ambition.
"I will one day conquer this world!"
At this mont, a pirate captain below the steps suddenly climbed up, running quickly.
"Captain Shiki! The latest intelligence just ca in: Kubo Island is currently weakly guarded, but Marine traces have been found in the nearby sea!"
"Hmph! So the Marine has received the news?"
Shiki sneered, raising his hand to flick the ash from his cigar, "Well, never mind. Since they've co, we must 'entertain' them well, Gyahahaha!"
Shiki laughed loudly, and countless pirates below also laughed in agreent, their voices converging like thunder, even scattering the nearby clouds with the sound waves.
After the wild laughter, Shiki raised his hand, ready to give the order to depart, but found that the pirate captain who delivered the ssage was still standing in front of him and had not left.
He frowned and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Uh, that…" This pirate captain, though burly in appearance, was now fidgeting and sowhat reserved, saying haltingly, "There's also another piece of intelligence."
"Regarding the whereabouts of the Roger Pirates after the last war…"
"Where did Roger go?!"
Shiki was instantly enraged, his hair and beard flying, like an angry Golden Lion.
The pirate captain turned pale with fright and stamred, "Uh, one of our intelligence teams found out that the Roger Pirates seed to have contacted the Marine after the war… The other party is suspected to be the Marine's newly appointed Admiral, Shirojishi."
"…Kenji? Heh heh!" Shiki's eyes flashed, and he sneered.
The next mont, he turned around and loudly ordered to set off.
The massive pirate fleet surged forward in a floating flight formation, charging towards the target battlefield on the sea below.
