???
Several question marks appeared above everyone's heads.
"Ace, you... have you lost your mind? Do you want to check what ti it is now?"
Sabo spoke up.
"Isn't it still not dawn yet? It's all dark outside..."
The update of this chapter is provided exclusively by TaiwanNovel, which is extrely reliable.
Ace's words stopped abruptly. He stared dumbly at the clock on the wall, seeing that the ti had already reached ten in the morning.
Ace: ??????
"This... you... I..."
"You said outside is all dark?"
Kyle asked Ace.
"Yes, yes! Not only dark, but also foggy!"
Hearing this, Kyle slowly stood up and walked towards the outside of the ship's cabin.
"Kyle, what's wrong?"
Luffy looked on curiously.
"According to Ace's description, barring any unforeseen circumstances, we should have arrived at our destination sea!"
"As for whether it really is or not, we'll know for sure by going out to take a look!"
Everyone instinctively glanced at each other, then followed Kyle.
Shortly after, Kyle opened the cabin door and stepped out. The sight that t his eyes was exactly as Ace had described.
The sky was gloomy and dark, with thick fog all around.
"Kyle, is it confird? Have we reached the destination sea?"
Sabo asked.
"Yes!"
Kyle nodded.
"Barring any surprises, we have indeed entered the Devil's Triangle Sea! The surrounding environnt matches the information about the Devil's Triangle Sea perfectly!"
At this point, Kyle paused slightly, then suddenly revealed a smile.
"I want to see if we'll also beco one of the missing ships!"
"Hundreds of ships disappear in the Devil's Triangle Sea every year. It's a sea area that many people turn pale at the ntion of. Legends say there are not only zombies here, but also ghosts, skeletons, and other supernatural creatures!!"
"Zombies!"
"Ghosts!!"
"Skeletons!!!"
Three voices rose one after another, each louder than the last.
Luffy and his two brothers stood side by side, their eyes shining brightly.
Not just them, Zoro on the side also showed an interested expression and let out a light laugh.
"Zombies? I wonder how durable those things are to slash!!"
Sanji: "I've never seen what a ghost looks like. I'm quite curious!"
Kuina remained silent, focusing solely on polishing her sword!!!
None of the people present showed any fear on their faces, only excitent. They also completely ignored the part about ships disappearing.
What does it matter to them if other people's ships disappear?!
"Hmm?!"
Suddenly, Kyle seed to sense sothing. He turned his head slightly, looking in a certain direction, and spoke softly:
"You ca quite fast!"
Before his words faded, Kyle's figure instantly disappeared from his spot, reappearing on the deck over ten ters away. One hand shot out, clenched into a fist, and punched forward.
Thud!!
A dull sound echoed. Kyle's fist stopped mid-swing, but the sound was not at all like that of a fist cutting through air.
An outline materialized from the air not far in front of Kyle, flying backwards for several ters before landing on the deck. The next mont, a large mouthful of blood was coughed up.
The color rapidly drained from his face, and beads of sweat the size of peas continuously seeped from his forehead.
"Pain! It hurts so much!! Bastard, what did you do?!!"
He roared at Kyle, a trace of fear in his eyes.
He could feel that the external force of that punch just now wasn't much; most of the power had poured into his internal body.
This resulted in the punch seeming not very powerful visually, but in reality, it had already damaged his internal organs. That's why he coughed up a large mouthful of blood, and his entire chest cavity now felt burning with pain.
As ti passed, instead of easing, the pain intensified.
"I gave you a punch, isn't that obvious?"
Kyle shrugged.
"By the way, you haven't turned into the Lion Man yet! Absalom!"
That's right, the person in front of him was indeed Absalom, one of Moria's subordinates. Similar to the Straw Hat Pirates' encounter in the original story, this guy also sneaked aboard using his Clear-Clear Fruit ability.
The difference was that he was discovered by Kyle the mont he ca up here.
If you don't have Observation Haki and you co aboard, I might ignore you. But with Observation Haki and you still co up?
However, the current Absalom looked sowhat different from the Absalom in the original story in terms of appearance. If not for his signature Devil Fruit ability, Kyle might not have recognized him.
After all, his impression of this guy's appearance was limited to that lion-like mouth of his.
If he hadn't used the Clear-Clear Fruit and appeared before Kyle with his current appearance, Kyle definitely wouldn't have recognized him.
Teachers wearing eye patches beco unrecognizable, let alone a difference as big as an entire large mouth.
Upon hearing Kyle's words, Absalom's face was filled with shock.
"You... how do you know my na??"
"Knowing my na is one thing, but why would you also know what's in my..."
Slap!!
Before Absalom could finish, he was sent flying by a thunderous palm that appeared out of thin air, landing on the deck several ters away again.
This ti, the pain was gone, replaced by a tingling numbness, especially on the side of his face that was slapped. It felt like he had been given eight hundred shots of anesthetic.
"Enough with the nonsense!"
"You are a pirate, I am a Marine. Seeing our warship and still daring to approach, who gave you the nerve?!"
"Do you know what this behavior of yours is classified as? Attempted assault on the military!!!"
Absalom: ???
What?! Although he did have that thought earlier, he hadn't carried it out yet!!
He hadn't even had ti to do anything before being knocked flying by your punch.
Is attempted assault in thought also considered attempt?!
Before Absalom could defend himself, Kyle spoke again.
"Now, as the captain of the Marine's strongest special force, the Dawnblade Squad, I pronounce judgnt on your actions. You are sentenced to life imprisonnt in Impel Down!"
!!!
"Your warship is stolen, right?! Fake Marines!?!"
Absalom instinctively shouted.
Forget about never having heard of any Dawnblade Squad, just take the charge of attempted assault on the military.
Life imprisonnt?!?
Even if the assault was successful, if the injuries caused weren't severe, it shouldn't warrant life imprisonnt, right??
"You might be disappointed, but we are not fake Marines, and the warship isn't stolen!"
"But it's true that you will be locked up in Impel Down!"
With that, a flash appeared in Kyle's hand, and a brand new, shiny Seastone handcuff appeared in his grasp. He said calmly,
"Ace, go and handcuff this guy."
As the captain, he couldn't possibly handle everything personally, right?
"Okay!!"
Ace imdiately responded and stepped forward.
This was his first ti participating in capturing a pirate. Why did he feel strangely excited?
Soon, Ace took the Seastone handcuffs from Kyle and walked behind Absalom.
Absalom, still numbed from Kyle's earlier electric shock, had little strength left and was easily handcuffed by Ace.
The Seastone took effect imdiately. A wave of weakness washed over him, making his already poor condition even worse. His head tilted to the side, and he directly fainted...
