Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Chapter 462: They've stirred up trouble at the nest of ability users!

"Don't even think about bothering our captain."

A black sword flashed from the side, blocking the steps of the newly landed Marine Vice Admiral. Zoro emerged from the dust, carrying his sword and grinning, "Your opponents are us."

Zephyr is about to cause a major incident that could destroy the entire New World if not handled carefully. Therefore, the World Government has sent more than just Admiral Kizaru as part of its marine mission.

It was an even more terrifying force than the Buster Call, and many of the lieutenant generals leading the troops were students of Zephyr.

I came here to see Zephyr off on his final journey, but I didn't expect the Straw Hat Pirates to get involved too. Let's not let this chaotic battle stop!

After all, no one knows what the Straw Hat Pirates' purpose is.

What if they also want to compete for DNYA Rock?

These are not the incompetent vice admirals Zoro just killed, but the real elite vice admirals of the headquarters, many of whom are strongmen who have experienced the Impel Down war.

Vice Admiral Strawberry of the Navy Headquarters.

His skull was far longer than that of an ordinary person. He wore a tall hat and had a blank expression. He was one of the disciples of the former Navy Admiral, Black Arm Zephyr, and a dual-wielding swordsman.

Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Flying Squirrel.

He was holding a katana, and had just been repelled by Zoro, leaving a bloody mark on his face. "Be careful, this guy already has the strength of a Yonko's right-hand man."

He admitted that he was no match for Zoro on his own.

"A Yonko's second-in-command?"

Zoro smirked, "To become the Pirate King's right-hand man, I'm not satisfied with just the title of Yonko's second-in-command. You vice admirals will serve as stepping stones for me to become the world's greatest swordsman."

"Pirate Hunter, Bartholomew Kuma, Knight of the Sea Jinbe..."

A man with many scars on his face chimed in, "The fact that all these guys are here is definitely not an accident; the situation is getting increasingly chaotic."

Vice Admiral Doberman, Headquarters of the Navy.

There were also many renowned lieutenant generals, as well as a candidate admiral.

Add tea tofu.

Jiaji looked at his former colleague not far away, the one he had confessed to a hundred times and been rejected every time, now standing on the opposite side of him, his expression complicated.

Momousagi has really become a member of the Straw Hat crew!

"Regardless, follow the orders above to check and recover the DNYA rock."

After calming himself down, Jiaji gave the order.

Admiral Kizaru is currently engaged in a fierce battle with Kuzan and has no energy left to attend to this matter, leaving him as the one responsible for issuing orders.

"Don't even think about getting close over there, Marines."

Sanji, having defeated his opponent, stepped forward and declared, "Those things over there now belong to us."

"Black Leg Sanji?"

Onigumo was taken aback, his already gloomy face darkening further. "So your target, DNYA Rock, really is you pirates?"

This is the last thing the Navy wants to see.

What are the Straw Hat crew planning to do with the DNYA Rock?

To become another Zeff?!

"We didn't originally plan to do this, but our partner needs it, so let's change our purpose for now."

Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke.

Both Nika and Franky seem to be quite interested in DNYA Rock.

The Navy wants to reclaim DNYA rock, but they won't allow it.

"Gentlemen, let's get this done!"

The weather suddenly changed, dust was kicked up, and as the dust settled, the Straw Hat crew's fighting strength slowly began to emerge.

The cadres assembled.

The two stared at each other, neither showing any fear in their gazes.

How many battles did the Straw Hat crew experience against powerful pirate crews?

They've fought the Four Emperors, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the Marine Admirals—these are the strongest warriors on the high seas. The Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals are also seasoned veterans who have seen it all.

Executives of the Four Emperors' pirate crews?

It's not like we haven't fought before.

Battle is imminent.

Smoke filled the air, dust swirled, and the clash of swords and the power of Devil Fruits intertwined to form an impenetrable net, enveloping the entire END POINT island.

"Now we can face the Buster Call forces head-on."

Sanji spat out the cigarette butt from his mouth. "It's not like two years ago. We still need the captain's protection."

His opponent was Vice Admiral Strawberry of the Marine Headquarters, a dual-wielding swordsman with an absurdly long skull. His swordsmanship was as fast as lightning, and every strike was filled with sharp sword energy, yet he could never truly touch Sanji.

Is this all there is to it?

Sanji dodged the sword to the side, his right foot bursting into flames. "Then I'll get serious!"

Devil's Wind Kick - Finishing Touch Shot!

The spinning kick, carrying terrifying heat, collided head-on with Storobelli's twin blades, sparks flying everywhere.

Strawberry's body slid backward uncontrollably for several meters, carving two deep furrows in the ground beneath his feet.

"Well?"

Storoberry's hand holding the knife trembled slightly.

This guy's kicks are several levels stronger than described in the intelligence!

"I've been hosting too many banquets and haven't stretched my muscles in ages. You're the perfect way to warm up!"

Sanji gave him no chance to catch his breath, his body flipping continuously in the air as his kicks rained down like a storm.

Storoberry parried each attack and then retaliated.

If it weren't for the Armament Haki coating the sword, it would probably have melted by now.

From a certain perspective, this is extremely abnormal!

Storobelli felt he couldn't cut through the man; his bones were too hard, so hard that he felt he was cutting through a piece of refined iron.

This guy isn't human, is he?

The naval science force is full of these abnormal people; looking further back, there are many more like them on the high seas.

Besides Haki and Devil Fruits, there are all sorts of power systems on the sea. Based on inside information, we can think about Sanji's identity.

The Vinsmoke family.

That entire family are not normal people.

"And besides you, those guys are getting more and more troublesome."

Storoberry glanced at the other side of the battlefield, where the sky had completely changed color.

Cloud Blade: Thousand Cherry Blossoms!

Nami hovered in mid-air, surrounded by clouds and mist. Then, the clouds transformed into sharp blades, sweeping towards the Marines from all directions.

Logia-type Devil Fruits allow one to do whatever they want.

Those with superpowers are naturally superior to others, and those with natural abilities are even more superior.

Especially for someone like Nami, whose Logia-type abilities are also related to her own power.

Clouds can be just like the wind.

The flying squirrel's face was solemn. He wielded his samurai sword with incredible speed and precision, but a few blades still grazed his cheek, leaving small bloodstains.

"Logia-type Cloud-Cloud Fruit, what a troublesome ability."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a gust of wind suddenly swept in from the side, lifting his body into the air.

Princess Vivi had somehow appeared beside Nami, her arms outstretched, and the whirlwind in her palms seemed to be alive as it wrapped around her.

Wind Bind - Void Cage!

A gust of wind transformed into invisible chains, binding the flying squirrel tightly in mid-air.

"Nami!"

"understand!"

Nami clasped her hands together, and the surrounding clouds instantly condensed, transforming into giant cloud pillars that crashed down on the trapped flying squirrel from all directions.

"Wind and Cloud Combined Attack - Cloud Collapse!"

boom--

The deafening impact slammed the flying squirrel's body into the ground, creating a huge crater.

The combined power of two Logia-type Devil Fruit users is terrifying!

The flying squirrel is really unlucky; it just so happens to encounter an opponent that is the type it is least adept at dealing with.

"Waaaaah, so scary."

Chopper covered his head and ran away, with Vice Admiral Doberman, whose face was covered in scars, chasing after him.

"How dare a mere pet run rampant on the battlefield?"

Doberman said coldly, "It's a waste for someone like you to eat a Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit user."

It's important to know that Fleet Admiral Sengoku's Devil Fruit was also the Human-Human Fruit, but the two are not even in the same league.

Just as the blade was about to touch Chopper, a green shadow suddenly flew over, and the seed instantly grew larger, turning into a giant man-eating plant that opened its mouth and swallowed Doberman whole.
