One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me.

Chapter 200 Are you deaf?!
On the surface of the North Sea, the massive 'world patrol ship' North Sea Cross is anchored.

The newly appointed deputy commander of the Holy Land Guardian Legion, 'Clemiller', had a stiff expression.

His gaze was fixed on the warship in front of him, which was quite small compared to the North Sea Cross.

It was a warship shaped like a Coca-Cola bottle—it stood in front of the North Sea Cross, blocking the latter's path.

And Clemente certainly recognized the ship.

"Black Xie"

He knew that this was the warship of 'Black Xie' Loy Amos, a candidate for admiral at the Navy Headquarters.

In fact, the biggest reason why Clemiller was able to be promoted to the new deputy commander of the 'Holy Land Guardian Legion' was because the former deputy commander, 'Evil Tongue' Solas, died at the hands of the enemy during the three-army exercise.

But it was precisely because he knew the other party's identity that he was puzzled.

"Has this guy gone mad?"

He muttered so.

Why would someone with such a promising future stand in the way of the Celestial Dragons?
But it is precisely at this moment
"Cough cough."

Clemente then saw a tall, burly man take a bite of his hamburger and emerge from the cabin below.

"Full Fruit - Voice Enhancement"

His voice pierced the sea breeze and resounded in Clement's ears.

"I am Lieutenant Hans from the Naval Headquarters, and I am here to deliver this first announcement."

"Vice Admiral 'Black Hare' Roy of the Navy Headquarters is conducting a classified mission in this area."

"This area has now been designated as a temporary restricted zone, prohibiting any ships from entering or leaving."

"If anyone continues to act arbitrarily after the three notices have been issued, our ship will exercise jurisdiction."

He made that sound.

"?"

Clement almost doubted that he had heard correctly.

"Bastard!"

But the next moment, his face contorted in pain.

"Who do you think you're talking to?"

Having finally ascertained the other party's intentions, he picked up the speakerphone Den Den Mushi without hesitation, his angry voice trembling: "Look closely, you fools—this is the 'World Patrol Ship,' the vehicle of the great Thatcherz M. Piersan on his inspection tour of the nations!"

"Get out of here immediately! Navy! Are you defying the World Government's orders!?"

He roared and pointed to the Star of Cross flag behind him.

But
"what?"

He noticed, however, that the sailors on the ship did not show any change in expression after hearing these words.

Hans casually picked at his ear and then blew on his finger.

"What government stuff? Can't you understand me?"

Then he continued, "The second notification—I said, we are carrying out a classified order here, so we need to seal off this area of ​​the sea."

"It is true that your side is a world patrol vessel, and you have the authority to temporarily mobilize the naval branches of the World Government member states. However, we are the direct subordinate unit of Vice Admiral 'Black Xie' of the Navy Headquarters, and we are not subject to your orders."

Upon hearing this, Clement's eyes widened even more, and he was almost speechless.
But right now.
"It's noisy."

A voice suddenly came from behind Clemiller.

then
"Bang!" "Bang!"

Heavy footsteps were heard.

The next moment, a figure emerged from the cabin of the North Sea Cross.

That was a Celestial Dragon—his iconic bubble headgear said it all.

But unlike ordinary Celestial Dragons...
This Celestial Dragon was wearing a suit of jet-black armor.

The armor was clearly very special—it had many holes, from which a clicking sound seemed to emanate, as if gears and machinery were constantly turning and cutting something.

From within the void, red smoke continuously billowed out, completely enveloping the Celestial Dragon.

"It's so noisy! So noisy!"

At that moment, the Heavenly Dragon seemed to be experiencing mania, gritting his teeth and growling, "Why is it so noisy?"

“Pierre Saint, it’s like this, we’ve arrived at Montblanc Island—Zeff and Edward Weevil are both on the island, but now we’re being blocked by the Marine Headquarters’ ‘Black Hazel,’ he is…”

Clement quickly turned around and bowed respectfully to the Celestial Dragon.

His words were extremely humble.

Because he knew the identity of the man in front of him—he was an extremely special being among the Celestial Dragons he protected and served.

The other party is a member of the legendary 'Knights of God'!

"I'll make them get out of here right away and send people to drive them away. Please continue to rest."

Clement said this.

But
"boom!"

He didn't finish his sentence.

It wasn't that he didn't want to talk—it was that he was no longer able to talk.

"Boom!"

Even those closest to Clemiller couldn't see what happened.

They could only see the deck where Clement was, along with the hull below and the sea below—everything was pierced through by something in an instant. A dark hole even appeared in the pierced sea, as if something had directly pierced through it and gone to the seabed!

Clement was completely reduced to a cloud of blood mist, leaving not even a trace of flesh behind.

"Idiot—truly a lowly creature from the lower realm."

At this moment, the God Knight named Pierre Saint continued to emit that low, growling sound.

"Rest? I never rest—that's a sign of weakness."

"And... why did I tell that guy blocking my way to get out of my way?"

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the black warship blocking his path below.

"Navy? Black Xie?"

For the Knights of God, those were clearly names that were not worth mentioning.

Then he raised his arm, which was covered in black gauntlets.

Within that low growl, there seemed to be a sense of satisfaction finally emerging.

"Run him over, sink him."

"I want to see those scumbags who dare to stand in my way suffer. Immediately!"

The words fell.

then
"Yes, yes!" *N
The North Sea Cross, along with all the surrounding escort fleets, responded simultaneously.

Clement was dead.

But no one cares.

For these members, whether they were members of the Holy Land Guard or the Celestial Dragons' guard, it was nothing surprising that the great, god-knights who symbolized the will of the World Government could casually kill an insect.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

At that moment, accompanied by the mechanical sounds of the turret turning and the roar of the engine.

All the frigates' cold cannons were now pointed at the Black Loyalty.

The massive hull of the North Sea Cross was about to crush the tiny, dark warship!

But
“I said—this area is off-limits.”

A voice rang out.

The entire ocean, and the countless warships poised to set sail, seemed to have been put on pause at that moment.

"Are you guys deaf?!"

The words fell.

"Boom!"

A domineering aura of black and red suddenly surged and dissipated.

Centered on the Black Loyalty, the entire sea began to freeze and cave in instantly.

The impact swept across all the escort ships in an instant.

"Plop!" "Plop!" "Plop!"

Whether it's a frigate or the North Sea Cross.

Whether it was the gunners preparing to fire or the commander directing the attack, no matter what they were doing just a second ago, at this moment their eyes rolled back, saliva dripped uncontrollably, and they collapsed.

In just a moment
"."

The once menacing sea was now completely still.

Of the entire North Sea Cross, only Pierre Saint remained standing in place.

"."

He gritted his teeth, his eyes wide as he stared at the ship below.

"Click."

On that warship, the hatch slid open silently.

A figure stepped out.

The stars adorning the cuffs of that deep black navy cloak fluttered in the wind.

The domineering aura of black and red still lingered in his hair.

"You'll take the boat to the island in a bit to help Ain and the others evacuate the civilians, and while you're at it, keep an eye on public opinion."

He said this as he casually tossed the navy cloak to Farr, who was standing to the side.

"Yes, boss."

And after Far nodded and left.

He strolled out and stepped onto the deck.

"Ah, sorry."

He looked up at the Celestial Dragon and said calmly, "It seems your crew members are all asleep—so, Celestial Dragon, I'm here to personally issue this third notification."

"This ship is carrying out a classified mission here, and this area of ​​water will be temporarily closed."

His gaze fell upon the Knight of God and the cross-star banner behind him.

"So, please cooperate with my work."
