One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me.

Chapter 49 I'm calm, so I'm going to beat him to a pulp!

At this moment, aboard a warship that looks like a Coca-Cola bottle.

The soldiers in the detention unit felt as if everything that had happened so far was a dream.

First, they were celebrating the successful completion of their mission when they unexpectedly encountered the 'Spade Pirates'.

Then there is the power that Roy has demonstrated.

In fact, the marines in the detention unit had seen Roy's Hadouken more than once.

But that thing just now seemed a bit too exaggerated, didn't it?
That punch that nearly split the sea apart and destroyed the famous 'Fire Fist' Ace along with his pirate ship almost made them doubt—was they really part of the detention force, a team known for its weak combat capabilities?

But that's not even the whole story.

What they found most incomprehensible was that—just after 'Fire Fist' Ace and the Spade Pirates began their escape, yet another important figure appeared.

"The King of Lizards has actually appeared here."

Farr's face was covered in a heavy sweat, and even the usually carefree Hans gripped his flintlock pistol with some tension.

They couldn't help but be nervous.

Despite a slight dip in its prestige recently due to the killing of a sand crocodile.

However, the Seven Warlords of the Sea are still the Seven Warlords of the Sea!
Known as one of the three major powers on the seas, a powerful force that suppresses the Grand Line.

Hanafuda, the 'King of Lizards,' is one of the most senior members and is known for his tyranny.

This once-powerful pirate who dominated the New World is said to have even been an enemy of Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, and they became close friends after acknowledging each other's talents.

And it was at this very moment
"Commander Roy! Sergeant Hans, Sergeant Farr—the explosion just now was caused by a stray bullet hitting the stern. The stern propeller and the engine were damaged, and there's a hole in the hull, and..."

A marine came up from the ship's cabin looking anxious to report the situation.

"Mohr and Lanster, who were responsible for adjusting the tail rotor and repairing the power unit, were injured in the explosion and their condition is currently unknown."

"What!?" *2
Upon hearing the marine's words, Far and Hans's expressions changed instantly.

They gritted their teeth, their eyes instantly filled with anger.

"Damn pirates"

Anyone with eyes could see that Hanafuda's target was the Spedil, which had already fled far away, but it was only because its aim was too poor that it hit them.

This indiscriminate bombardment is precisely the habit of the tyrannical 'Lizard King'.

But it is precisely at this moment
“Fal, Hans.”

Far and Hans heard the sound.

When they turned around, they saw Roy with his back to them.

"I taught you all long ago—there's an old saying in my hometown: only those who remain calm even when a mountain collapses before them can be promoted to generals!"

"What you should do now is send the other brothers to search for Moore and Lanster in the cabin, and while they're at it, repair the hole in the hull, and then hide there for the time being to ensure your safety."

"Remaining calm is the first priority in battle!"

Because they were facing away from each other, Hans and Fal could not see Lloyd's face.

But they can see it.

At this moment, Roy's clenched fist and the bulging veins on it were clearly visible.

"Boss, calm down. I know about Moore and Lanster."

Hans didn't finish speaking because Lloyd interrupted him.

“I am calm, Hans.”

Roy raised his hand, tugged at his sleeve, and twisted his neck.

"To be precise, I have never been this calm before."

He looked at the ravaged deck of the warship and the marines behind him.

As mentioned before, Roy has no sense of belonging to the Navy's justice.

Even if a pirate ship passes by on ordinary days, as long as it's not his mission target or something Roy can't stand, he basically won't bother to take action—to him, a pirate is less valuable than a fat sea monster.

And this time, his decision to take action against the Spade Pirates was certainly not for the sake of 'justice'.

His idea is simple.

Fight Ace, analyze the Flame-Flame Fruit, and use the battle to damage the warship. This will give you the perfect excuse to go to Water 7.

He could also test the power of the Buddha Fruit and gauge his progress.

Even if Ace escaped, it doesn't matter that he couldn't decipher the Flame-Flame Fruit.

Unlike Sengoku, he harbored no hostility towards Ace, the son of the Pirate King, not to mention that he already possessed the Magma-Magma Fruit, a superior Logia-type Devil Fruit.

For him, the Flame-Flame Fruit is only useful for adding one more item to the Fruit Encyclopedia; there's not much else he needs in the short term.

That was his goal, nothing more—he was confident from beginning to end that nothing would go wrong.

But now, things are different.

He certainly remembered Moore and Lanster—one a cheerful shipwright, the other an engineer with two daughters.

But it still comes down to the same point.

Roy didn't care about the Navy's justice, but it was a different story for the soldiers in the detention center he had spent eight years with.

so.
"I'm calm, so I'm going to beat that guy to a pulp."

He said coldly.

No! That doesn't sound calm at all!
Hans and Fal thought to themselves.

But seeing Roy's reaction at this moment, they couldn't help but feel moved.

Even though they were moved by Roy's attitude, they still advised, "Boss, I know you're angry, and we're angry too—but they are, after all, a Shichibukai. We'd better not attack them."

At this point, they saw Roy smile again.

"Idiots, I've taught you all: observe carefully before acting."

As he spoke, Roy's gaze had already turned to the distance.

"Look, this isn't the time for us to attack the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"On the contrary—quite the opposite."

As he spoke, Far and Hans noticed him.

At this moment, the 'giant dinosaur fleet' belonging to Hanafuda, which was originally still on the distant sea, had reached a position very close to them.

However, those huge pirate ships showed no sign of slowing down.

No—as naval personnel, Farr and Hans were certain. At this distance, even lowering their sails to slow them down wouldn't stop them! They were charging!

Meanwhile...
"Hanafuda Admiral, do we really still need to go full speed ahead?"

The bow of the flagship of the giant dinosaur fleet, the 'Tyrannosaurus Rex'.

A pirate wearing a dinosaur helmet looked at the tall Shichibukai beside him, his words hesitant.

"."

Beside him stood the 'Lizard King' Hanafuda, with his hands behind his back.

His breathing was heavy, like that of a humanoid dinosaur.

At this moment, his gaze completely ignored Roy's warship and instead looked towards the distant Spedil.

At this moment, the Spedil had already traveled a great distance—the only visible thing was the bright firelight emanating from its stern and hull.

“Using Logia-type abilities to propel the ship, wasting so much energy just to escape Portgas D. Ace, that weak rookie.”

He scoffed and commented sharply.

That's right.

He was unaware of the battle that had just taken place there—when he and his fleet spotted the Spedil, all they saw was the Spedil fleeing from afar.

But he knew at least one thing, and that was...
"He won't get far by wasting his energy like this. I'll catch up with him and tear him to pieces."

He gritted his teeth and said with a sinister grin.

"He destroyed one of my weapon-carrying fleets, and the shame of failing to meet the number of weapons I promised Kaido must be washed away with his blood."

"Dinosaurs are very vengeful."

No, I don't think dinosaurs would be as vengeful as you.

His subordinates, however, were muttering to themselves.

Besides, who asked you that?

"Admiral, I mean... are we really not going to turn around? That ship ahead looks like a naval detention center."

The subordinate asked again, and then
"boom!"

He suddenly let out a cry of pain, and his body was abruptly kicked away by Hanafuda.

"idiot!"

Hanafuda glared angrily at her subordinate.

“You said it yourself, they are a detention force—not Garp’s warships, not an admiral, and not elite troops. They are the weak!”

"I am a Shichibukai, and my relationship with the World Government is merely one of cooperation. Since there are weak insects blocking my way, of course I have to crush them!"

he sneered.

"Might makes right, and the destruction of the weak is only natural!"

This is a belief he has always held.

"Yes Yes!"

So the other pirates on deck quickly went to carry away the pirate who had been kicked unconscious.

However, they hadn't had time to make a move yet.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

The entire pirate ship suddenly shuddered, and its speed noticeably decreased, with continuous collision sounds coming from below.

The pirates were instantly thrown over by the tremor, then hurriedly stood up: "What happened?"

"what's the situation?"

They spoke in surprise and moved closer to the side of the ship.

then
"It's so cold!"

They suddenly felt a chilling cold.

Then they saw what their ship had hit—an ice floe that was gradually forming on the sea below.

How could there be ice?

They were naturally puzzled.

But they clearly knew what they had to do: "Admiral, don't worry, we'll go right now."

When they turned around as they were saying this, they realized that their admiral had completely ignored them.

At this moment, the 'King of Lizards' stood on the deck, his body taut and his eyes transformed into vertical pupils like those of a lizard, as if he were a wild beast on high alert.

His gaze fell on the Coca-Cola bottle-shaped warship not far away.

At this moment
"Bang!" "Bang!"

A figure leaps up from the warship.

"Moonwalk."

The Hanafuda cards are clearly 'Moon Walk'.

At that moment, the naval cloak on that figure was fluttering in the wind.

And on his left fist
"Buzz!"

Golden light and shockwaves erupted.

Unlike before.

This time, within that pale golden light, there was a distinct hint of blue.

The cold air burst forth continuously along with the shockwaves.

The floating ice on the surrounding sea was formed from the spillover of that shock wave.
