One Piece: The Half-Blood Ninja Who Hides on the Straw Hat Ship

Chapter 650 Meteorite Falls from the Sky, west Yan's Speculation

"Is it absolutely impossible for us to get through?"

Fujitora and Smoker looked very serious as they saw the two people blocking their way.

Although they don't actually intend to deal with the Straw Hat Pirates right now, they could easily suffer losses if they're not careful when facing a lineup like the Blood-Eyed Ninja and the Revolutionary's second-in-command.

"I can't let you disturb my captain," west Yan grinned.

As he spoke, he used his Wood Release ability to spread the wood further away, thus blocking other Marines who wanted to bypass him.

This change also made the faces of those vice admirals turn ugly.

As for jumping over?

Some navy personnel tried to jump over, but they were all knocked away by the flying logs, so they gave up on the idea.

Sabo then said, "We've got the Straw Hat Pirates and the warriors who helped them covered."

"Those who want to harm them, don't even think about getting through here."

As he spoke, Sabo slammed a water pipe into the ground, the imposing pipe creating a large crater.

This scene, which resembled a demonstration, greatly displeased Smoker. Was it a provocation?

"Is supporting pirates also part of the Revolutionary Army's job?" Fujitora asked in a deep voice.

"Ah, that's right."

Sabo raised his head and said, "As a member of the Revolutionary Army, I will absolutely not let you advance even a single step."

After speaking, Sabo paused for a moment, then grinned and said, "No... I misspoke, I meant as the eldest brother!"

"Big brother?"

Smoker frowned upon hearing this. What was this guy talking about?

"Whose elder brother are you, sir?" Fujitora inquired.

Sabo simply grinned and did not answer the question.

I don't care whose brother you are.

A group of sailors raised their cannons, aimed at Sabo and Xiyan, and said, "If you dare to stop us, you can expect to be wiped out!"

As they were talking, they decided to fire a cannonball at Sabo.

"stop!"

The vice admiral quickly interjected, "They are not people you can handle on your own."

For skilled players, artillery shells are just toys, so it's best not to use them to attack them.

After all, doing so could easily lead to one's death.

"But, Lieutenant General..."

'

"He's right," Smoker said in a deep voice. "You may all step back. Leave this to the two of us."

He knew very well just how strong the Blood-Eyed Ninjas were, so letting these Marines retreat was the right choice.

"That's right, you all step back immediately," the vice admiral said immediately.

"You may also step down."

Vice Admiral: ? ? ?

The vice admiral looked at Smoker with a puzzled expression. Even though he was just a vice admiral, he shouldn't have to retreat.

He's not weak either.

"I can help too," the vice admiral said in a deep voice.

"If you don't want to die, step back."

Unfortunately, Smoker's words did not intimidate the other party; instead, they made the other party even more resentful.

Seeing this, Smoker didn't try to persuade him any further. If he liked to suffer losses, then let him suffer.

Smoker then intended to say something to west Yan, but before he could speak, he saw the vice admiral charging towards west Yan with his three-meter-long sword.

Smoker: ? ? ?

What's this guy trying to do?

"Die!" the vice admiral roared. "Ship-cutting sword!"

"Whoosh~"

The next moment, an incredibly terrifying flying slash flew out from the blade, instantly slicing a building behind Xiyan in two!

west Yan, who dodged the attack by leaning back, said in surprise, "He's a swordsman, isn't he?"

"Don't underestimate me, you bastard!"

As he spoke, the naval vice admiral once again brandished his broadsword, intending to cleave west Yan vertically.

But this time, west Yan did not give him that chance.

"Underestimate?"

"Clang!"

west Yan raised his arm, which was wrapped in an aura of domineering power, to block the opponent's attack, and said, "I'm just stating the facts."

"What?"

Seeing that the opponent could actually block his attack with his arm, the vice admiral's eyes immediately showed surprise.

Is this person's defense really that strong?

You should know that his slashes are imbued with Haki!

"Damn it, it seems ordinary attacks won't be able to take him down," the vice admiral thought to himself.

Since that's the case... then let's use an even more powerful slash!

Thinking of this, he planned to distance himself from west Yan, but before he could even move, west Yan grabbed the enormous broadsword.

Then, west Yan punched the side of the large sword, shattering it.

"What?!"

The surrounding navy personnel stared in shock at the scene, exclaiming, "The Vice Admiral's Shark-Slaying Sword has actually been shattered?"

That was the Lieutenant General's most powerful weapon, and it was actually shattered?

The vice admiral's eyes were also filled with shock; he never expected that his weapon would be so easily destroyed by the enemy.

Is this reasonable?

Then, the shattered blade flew like a cannonball towards the distant building, punching it into one large crater after another.

"You should have listened to that guy," west Yan grinned. "That way you wouldn't have gotten hurt."

As he spoke, west Yan raised his fist, which was brimming with domineering energy, and punched the naval vice admiral hard.

Just then, Smoker flew to the other side, grabbed the lieutenant general by the back of his collar, and flung him away with a forceful throw.

Then, he threw a backhand punch at west Yan's fist.

"Clang!"

"bump!!"

The fists, brimming with domineering power, slammed together, creating an incredibly terrifying shockwave.

"boom!!"

The surrounding navy personnel were thrown into the air.

"what!"

"Don't approach Lieutenant General Smoker's battlefield, get to a safe distance!"

The surrounding sailors immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and, under the command of their officers, gradually ran away into the distance.

"I'm... I'm saved..."

'

The vice admiral, who had been thrown into the air, wiped the sweat from his brow. In that instant, he truly felt as if he could smell death.

But is this reasonable?

Why would a pirate with a bounty of 100 million Berries make him feel like he's about to die?

And Lieutenant General Smoker also looked like he was facing a formidable enemy... What on earth is going on?

"Lieutenant General, are you alright?" the adjutant asked.

"fine."

The vice admiral shook his head, then turned to his adjutant and said, "Take some men and surround the area. Don't let anyone else get close, lest innocent people get hurt."

"yes!"

The subordinate, having received the order, nodded and then turned and left.

After watching the other side leave, the vice admiral turned his attention to the battlefield, intending to assess the situation.

"Vice Admiral Smoker."

west Yan, who was locked in a stalemate with Smoker, grinned and said, "I heard you've become stronger in two years. I'm curious, what exactly did you go through?"

With just a punch to each other, west Yan understood one thing: Smoker's general candidate was absolutely genuine.

So he was very curious about what had caused this guy, who was like a weakling two years ago, to become so much stronger.

Is it a belief?

Or is it grueling training?

"It's just that we killed a few more pirates," Smoker said calmly.

He didn't want to say anything more, since he couldn't directly reveal the identity of the Blood-Eyed Ninja yet, so he could only speak like this.

Seeing that the other party had no interest in speaking, west Yan didn't say anything more and instead chose to distance himself from them.

Just then, the sky was suddenly illuminated by a red light, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"This is..."

Sabo, staring at the sky, immediately looked surprised and said, "A meteorite?"

Why would a meteorite fall here?

"Is this Fujitora's ability?"

west Yan, who was also staring at the sky, stroked his chin and said, "Interesting."

Although this meteorite doesn't look very big, it would still be quite powerful if it hit the ground directly.

Isn't this guy afraid of hurting innocent people?

Fujitora, looking at the sky with a headache, said, "This is really a headache. I forgot about the birdcage."

Just as Fujitora was speaking, the meteorite struck the birdcage hard and was then cut into several pieces.

After that, the shattered meteorite continued its downward trajectory towards the ground.

This scene made Sabo grin from ear to ear.

Who throws a meteorite at someone just because they disagree with them?

"Hello!"

Smoker turned angrily to Fujitora and said, "What are you doing?"

Such a large meteorite falling to the ground could destroy this area. What if it hurts the civilians in Dressrosa?

"I forgot about the birdcage," Fujitora said somewhat awkwardly.

Smoker frowned upon hearing this. Was that the key point?

The next moment...

"boom!!"

The meteorite fragments crashed violently into the ground, creating huge craters!

The surrounding navy personnel were shaken and staggered, their expressions increasingly grim.

If they had run even a little slower, they would have been killed.

"Commander Yixiao's fighting style is too chaotic."

'

The vice admiral wiped the cold sweat from his face. What was with this combat style that changed the terrain at the drop of a hat?

It seems Lieutenant General Smoker was right; this level of battle was indeed beyond his ability to intervene.

I wonder if those two guys were killed by that attack.

With that in mind, the vice admiral turned his attention to the area where west Yan and the other man had just been.

He couldn't see that side from his perspective, so he was very curious whether those two people were dead.

"This is such a hassle."

Standing on the roof, Sabo frowned as he looked down at the situation below and said, "If we were to take a direct hit from this, it definitely wouldn't be pleasant."

Although he could destroy that thing with an attack, a naval admiral might also take the opportunity to attack him, so caution is necessary.

"Just don't eat it from the front."

That's true, but...

'

Before Sabo could finish speaking, he noticed that Xiyan's expression was a little off.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I just feel that the power of this meteorite is a bit off."

west Yan stared intently at the meteorite below and said, "Judging from the meteorite's kinetic energy, the area it could damage upon impact with the ground is definitely more than this."

A meteorite this size, tens of meters in diameter, would surely destroy everything around it when it hits the ground.

But the result?

It only created some large craters in the ground. Even if it was shattered by that birdcage thing, it shouldn't have only this much power.

So he was very curious whether Fujitora had deliberately used the Gravity Fruit to slow down the meteorite's descent.

If that's the case, then it explains why this situation occurred.

"Maybe that guy did something," Sabo guessed.

Since the other party was able to pull down the meteorite, they should be able to control the speed at which it falls, so it's normal for it to have this kind of power.

west Yan nodded, agreeing with Sabo's statement.

"If that's the case, then my earlier guess might be true." west Yan muttered to himself, "Maybe this guy really is acting."

Of course, it's also possible that the enemy reduced the power to avoid harming the people of Dressrosa.

But we'll find out if that's true or not in a bit.

"This is not a good sign."

Looking at the area he had destroyed, Fujitora scratched his head in frustration and said, "The damage is too extensive. I wonder if any civilians have been injured."

If the meteorite were intact, he could concentrate its power, thus limiting the attack to a specific area and preventing harm to civilians.

But now... it's a bit awkward.

With the meteorite fragmented, it's difficult for him to control the extent of the impact.

"How dare you say that?" Smoker said, annoyed.

"I couldn't help it, I forgot about the birdcage," Fujitora explained. "Otherwise, I could have perfectly controlled the power."

Smoker:

Smoker was speechless. How could he forget that?

Xi Yan retorted directly, "Is this guy an idiot?"

How could you forget something like that when the birdcage has been hanging in the air for so long?

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Could this guy have done it on purpose?

"Commander Issho," the Marine beside Fujitora said, his face covered in cold sweat, "could you at least let us know before summoning the meteor?"

"I'm so sorry, I've summoned a meteor." Fujitora said "honestly".

He looked like an honest and simple person.

navy:???

"Let's talk before we summon!" the group of marines said, opening their shark-like mouths.

Now that the meteorite has landed, what's the point of saying such things?

They can die!

"Haha, sorry, sorry."

Despite being yelled at, Fujitora showed no temper whatsoever and continued to apologize, displaying none of the airs of a Marine Admiral, much to the frustration of the other Marines.

Since their own superiors have said so, what else can they say?

Why..

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to accept my bad luck.

After all... they can't really do anything to their own admiral.

"Now I finally understand why some people say you're dangerous," Smoker said, glancing at Fujitora. "It's true."

This danger isn't just from the enemy; it can also be very dangerous if our own people aren't careful.

After all... meteorites don't distinguish between friend and foe; one wrong move and a whole bunch of people could die.

Fujitora was somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this; this was truly an unexpected turn of events.

But faced with the facts, he couldn't say much.

In the end... he could only helplessly accept the impression he had of Lieutenant General Smoker.

After a moment of silence, Fujitora spoke up: "Let's deal with the enemy first."

Although he knew Fujitora was changing the subject, Smoker didn't press the issue, nodded, and turned his gaze to the rooftops in the distance.
