One Piece: Trying 200 times harder, but being too overbearing.

A transparent barrier opened at the bow, blocking any approaching shells and preventing any damage to the warship.

In terms of defensive capabilities alone, the Barrier-Barrier Fruit is definitely among the top-tier fruits in the world.

Propelled by the external gears, the warship quickly approached the pirate ship. When the two sides were less than 100 meters apart, two figures flew out from the deck of the warship.

"White smoke launcher!"

"Moonstep!"

Loya used Moonwalk to land on the deck of the pirate ship with Smoker. The pirates, already enraged from the pursuit, immediately attacked the two.

"Destroy the Navy!"

"Oh oh oh!"

Facing the charging pirates, Smoker clenched his fist, his arm suddenly swelled up, and high-pressure steam flowed under his skin!

"Steam-Powered White Fist!"

"boom!"

The fist slammed into the pirate's chest, and a visible shockwave burst forth, blasting all the pirates behind it away!

The captain leaped to his feet, gripped his sword with both hands, and slashed at Loya's head, roaring furiously, "Damn navy, you've ruined our dreams!"

"Crack!"

The blade struck Loya's shoulder, but it felt like hitting stone, breaking into several pieces with a "crack".

"How can it be?!"

The captain stared blankly at the broken knife.

How can a body of flesh and blood withstand swords and blades?

"Fingergun Madara!"

Loya coldly raised his hand, his fingertips instantly turning into phantoms, leaving more than a dozen bloody holes in the other's body.

"You scumbags don't even deserve to talk about dreams."

The battle ended in less than three minutes.

"Mobile Barrier - Staircase!"

Barto built a staircase between the two ships and led his men into the pirate ship, happily carrying away the treasure.

Even a mosquito is still meat, no matter how small. If it weren't for the need for some living expenses, the warships would have sunk the pirate ship long ago with their firepower.

In the combat conference room.

The atmosphere was very heavy, with no trace of joy in victory.

"The pirate captain we're targeting this time is just a low-level pirate with a bounty of 6000 million, and he also has an officer with a bounty of 3000 million."

"it is good."

It has been over a month since I left the G-5 branch. I have captured quite a few pirates, but they are all small fry, and none of them have a bounty of over 100 million.

It's only March, the off-season for pirates.

Pirates set off from the four seas, guided by the Log Pose, and it would take at least half a year to reach the New World. The second half of the year is when the number of pirates will explode.

In addition, the number of supernovas is extremely rare. Normally, only two or three supernovas appear in a year, and the year Luffy set sail was a special case.

Lu Yun took out a bounty poster and waved it in front of Luo Ya: "Colonel Luo Ya, you might be interested in this guy."

"show me!"

Loya took the bounty poster and raised an eyebrow.

Fire Fist Ace, bounty of 120 million Berries!

"You've made a name for yourself in just three months at sea!"

Loya was amazed.

When they met last year, Ace and Luffy were both very weak, and Luffy even defeated Ace.

But what's terrifying about the two isn't how solid their foundation is, but their terrifyingly rapid growth in the face of adversity.

When Luffy first set sail, he could easily defeat his enemies with one hand. But during his time at Sabaody Archipelago, Luffy was already a pirate with a bounty of 300 million, and his strength had reached the level of a vice admiral in the Marine Headquarters.

It's only been half a year.

Ace's transformation is no less rapid than Luffy's, and his bounty will at least double when he arrives in the New World.

"I need to pick up the pace too!"

Loya felt immense pressure, realizing how slow his progress was only now that the genius was chasing after him.

He doesn't have much time left!

"Colonel Loya, pirate ship spotted at three o'clock!"

"Ready to fight!"

"Yes!"

Three days later, the warship returned to the G-5 branch for rest and refitting.

Loya found Vergo immediately.

"Lieutenant General Vergo, please spar with me!"

"."

The people of Vergo are a bit numb.

How many times has this happened?

For the past month, Black Hair has completely made G-5 his home, returning to G-5 to rest after each voyage to capture some pirates.

Then, challenge him!

If it weren't for the need to maintain his image, he would have loved to smash the black-haired guy to death with a stick, and was even considering whether to secretly kill him.

Vergo picked up the bamboo stick. From his initial nonchalance, he now had to take the kid seriously.

It has to be said that Black Hair's growth rate is very fast, and he is very good at summarizing. Every time he is challenged, he can avoid the mistakes of the last time and even find his weaknesses.

"Colonel Loya, you seem to be in a hurry."

“Yes, Lieutenant General Vergo, I have an enemy I must defeat!”

Loya stared intently at Vergo.

He's going to take this guy down before Ace even reaches the New World!

Chapter 121 What's there to be afraid of? Slaughter them all!

Dressrosa, the rooftop garden of the royal palace.

"Fufufufu~~"

Doflamingo sat by the pool, surrounded by several beautiful maids, flipping through newspapers with a broad smile.

"The Navy has produced a mad dog!"

"[Black-haired] Loya, more than half of the new pirates who arrived in the New World in the last two months have been captured by him, and his methods are quite cruel."

Several cadres were present, and many of them had heard of the Black Hair's reputation.

Diamanti cautioned, "Dover, it's best not to underestimate that dark-haired guy. If we let him get away with it, it might affect our business."

"Diamanti, with you here, black hair is no threat at all."

"Oh, not at all, you make it sound like I'm some kind of genius."

"No, you are indeed very powerful; you are a hero of the arena."

"Don't say that, I'm actually not that good."

"Then I won't say anything."

"Since you've said so, I have no choice but to admit it. That's right, I am the hero of the arena. Black hair is nothing but trash to me!"

Diamanti abandoned his humble demeanor and revealed his arrogant nature.

The companions around them were already used to it.

"Furfurfural."

Doflamingo crossed his legs and said with a smile, "Very well, if that [black-haired] guy interferes with our business, Diamanti, you can take care of him!"

"No problem, leave it to me!"

Diamanti was full of confidence and took on the task of dealing with the black-haired man.

In reality, the black-haired man has no connection with their business for the time being, but the area where he operates is gradually expanding and highly overlaps with their family's business network.

Dressrosa is very close to the G-5 branch.

Those countries and underground forces that do business with their family inevitably sail in the waters near the G-5 branch, especially those involved in the slave trade.

The world's largest slave market is located in the Sabaody Archipelago next to the Naval Headquarters, and the waters near the G-5 branch are the only way to get to Sabaody from the New World.
