I have the Flame-Flame Fruit, I'm invincible!

However, this was also expected.

It doesn't matter.

"Guess."

Flames appeared.

The raging fire began to engulf everything.

Meanwhile, inside a building in the distance, Caesar detonates a bomb.

Moreover, in order to attract the guards' attention to the maximum extent, Caesar detonated the explosives directly inside the three buildings.

Boom boom boom.

"Vegapunk, you owe me a favor."

Buildings, experimental equipment, machinery...

Awoo awoo awoo.

The alarm sounds.

“That is…” Dick looked at the fire in the distance.

He hadn't even used any force; it turns out there were other people on the island causing trouble.

Using his Observation Haki to investigate carefully, a familiar figure quickly appeared in Dick's mind.

Caesar Courante.

interesting.

Originally, Dick only planned to secretly kidnap Vegapunk without anyone knowing.

But now that they've been discovered, they need to change their methods.

Thinking this, Dick flew into the sky, flames frequently erupting from his body.

If the guards are blind, we won't kill them; the main reason is to prevent Vegapunk and Aokiji from developing any ill will towards them.

But Punk Hazard still has to be destroyed.

This is the Navy's most important research base, with rare materials, research equipment, and financial resources, measured in billions of peggs.

If you can take it, take it; if you can't take it, burn it.

Losing them would significantly reduce the Navy's research capabilities.

"Quickly put out the fire!" Sentomaru, wearing a large bellyband, commanded, then led his elite troops, charging menacingly towards Dick.

"Where is the old man? Where is he?" Sentomaru shouted.

The large axe in his hand was already itching to be used.

“Sentomaru, Vegapunk has decided to defect from the World Government. Are you interested in defecting as well?” Dick asked casually.

"Don't even think about it. Tell me now, where is the old man? Let me tell you, I am Sentomaru, the one with the strongest defense in the world."

bump.

Sentomaru, his eyes bulging and his tongue lolling out, collapsed to the ground with a thud.

“Looks like you’re not,” Dick said, pursing his lips.

Sentomaru's head lolled to the side, and he fainted.

"Attack!" The navy was initially thrown into a panic, but then, under the guidance of their second-in-command, they began a full-scale assault.

With a spirit of great courage.

"For justice."

"The spirit is commendable, but,"

The flames erupted again, the scorching heat seemingly burning away even the air.

Stab la la.

Endless icebergs appeared, freezing all the flames.

This further halted the marines' attack.

"You all step back and focus all your efforts on salvaging the supplies," Qingzhi commanded.

"Yes."

The vice admiral instantly relaxed.

With a great general by your side, everything will be alright.

"Oh, it's a Marine Admiral. I knew Dr. Vegapunk's defenses wouldn't be so easy to defend." Dick chuckled.

"Release Vegapunk, and I'll let you go." Aokiji's face was filled with murderous intent.

"impossible,"

Boom! The two sides clashed.

The clash between the two natural systems, especially when the two are acting together, creates a magnificent spectacle.

The aftermath was enormous.

With a casual strike, flames thousands of meters high collided with an iceberg.

A single, gentle punch can cause a building to collapse.

This left the lower-ranking naval officers and soldiers utterly shocked.

They couldn't get involved at all.

However, neither of them was injured.

Aokiji even had the time to think about where she would rest later.

A dozen minutes later, Qingzhi gave him a wink.

It means Dick should leave.

Dick nodded.

With a mighty slash of his greatsword, he withdrew from the battle.

"Alright, Kuzan, you should be grateful you didn't have the Navy's support; today would be your death day."

Aokiji: (⊙o⊙)…

"Aokiji, be thankful, you're very lucky today."

Dick left.

"So, Admiral Aokiji is going to be defeated?" a navy officer muttered to himself.

He didn't understand the battle situation at all.

Then you can see flames and icebergs.

"No way?"

"Not necessarily. Look, Admiral Aokiji didn't refute it; he was clearly hit where it hurt."

The sailors were buzzing with discussion.

Aokiji: >_

Aokiji clenched his fists, feeling an urge to go all out and beat Dick up.

Damn it, we clearly agreed it was just acting, but you still took advantage of me.

What do you mean I was defeated?

Just you wait, next time we meet, I'll definitely beat you up.

Mary Geoise, Naval Headquarters.

Both learned at the same time that Vegapunk had been kidnapped.

"Go and rescue them immediately. At all costs!" Sengoku roared.

Immediately, 10 warships and 5 lieutenant generals from headquarters arrived with a large force.

"Go to the rescue, or else," Saturn Satan flashed with a menacing glint.

"Just kill Vegapunk."

"Understood," Qingzhi said seriously, her tone firm and unwavering.

Quickly direct troops to search.

He pretended to be searching diligently, and then went to a secluded place.

Sleep well.

Ultimately, after two days of searching, nothing was found.

"Who? Who kidnapped Vegapunk?" Sengoku suppressed his anger.

Losing Vegapunk, leaving behind Caesar Clown.
