"Boom~~"

A massive curtain of water blotted out the sky and crashed down on the three warships.

The naval soldiers on the warship stared in horror at the unimaginable attack, their orderly ranks immediately descending into chaos.

"Fire! Fire now! Stop him!" the leading brigadier general shouted hoarsely, attempting to break through the water curtain with artillery fire.

However, these ordinary shells, when fired into the wall of water, only stirred up a few splashes and did nothing to help.

"Boom! Boom!"

"Damn it, change course!" the brigadier general ordered in a panic.

"Too late, let's drink!"

Under the surging curtain of water, the three warships capsized instantly and slowly sank into the sea.

"Monster...monster..." The surviving marines floated on the sea, looking at the blond-haired boy on the bow of the pirate ship.

"Damn it, what have you done to my lovely subordinates!"

As the warship sank, the ordinary marines could only float on the sea, while the commodore leading the team, using Moonwalk, rapidly approached Roy.

"oh!"

"Have you mastered the Moon Walk of the Six Styles of the Navy?"

Looking at the naval commodore who could stay in the air for a short time by relying on his physical skills.

"Navy, impressive physical skills!" Roy praised.

"Roy the Pirate, I will definitely capture you here."

Roy curled his lip in disdain; he didn't believe anyone at sea could capture them, not even a Sengoku Admiral. (Except for Garp and Zephyr.)

"Sink into the sea, Navy!"

The naval commissar in mid-air was immediately enveloped by an invisible force and fell headfirst into the sea.

Stella, keep going.

"Understood, Captain."

The pirate ship sailed straight ahead.

Roy didn't pay much attention to these naval grunts.

In the world of One Piece, pirates and the Navy are inherently antagonistic. Since Roy intended to capture them, what reason did he have to sympathize with them? The fact that he didn't exterminate them was only because the Commodore cared for his subordinates.

Having dealt with the navy, the ships sailed past the surviving marines adrift at sea.

They entered a relatively calm sea area, where sunlight shone on the deck, reflecting shimmering waves. The battle they had just fought seemed like a gift celebrating their successful voyage.

Tesoro jumped excitedly on the deck: "Boss! You're amazing! That huge warship sank in no time! Those navy soldiers were utterly helpless!"

Roy, who was opening the hatch, stopped when he heard this, looked at Tesoro and shook his head: "Tesoro! Don't underestimate the Navy. This time, only some ordinary marine officers have come. The real powerhouses haven't appeared yet. If it were a vice admiral from headquarters, or... a monster like Kizaru, we wouldn't be able to leave so easily."

When Kizaru was mentioned, Roy's eyes became slightly serious. Last time, the reason they were able to knock him into the sea was largely due to luck and the opponent's carelessness. If Rayleigh hadn't been holding Sengoku back, their hopes of leaving would have been unrealistic.

"I need to hurry up and get stronger. At the very least, I need to master Armament Haki so that I won't have to struggle so much when facing Logia-type Devil Fruit users," he thought to himself.

Before closing the hatch, he turned to Tesoro and said, "You'd better keep it up, Tesoro. Our opponents will only get stronger from now on!"

"Yes, boss!" Tesoro put away his smile, nodded seriously, and his eyes became more and more determined.

Maple Leaf Island.

Half an hour after Roy and his group left, a golden streak of light streaked across the sky, speeding toward Maple Leaf Island.

Borsalino, transformed into a photon, flew through the air, his usual nonchalant demeanor gone; he refused to allow himself to fail again.

However, when he arrived at Maple Island and used his Observation Haki, he was unable to sense Roy's presence in the town.

"Damn it, have they already left?"

A large number of warship wrecks and naval soldiers were floating on the sea. Three warships were completely destroyed, and the surviving marines were swimming towards the shore.

"Admiral Borsalino, the pirate Roy has escaped."

After the soldiers in the sea came ashore, the naval branch admiral, who was in charge, stepped forward slowly and saluted with a face full of shame.

"What happened?"

"That brat is a monster! He defeated us with a single blow, and even sank our warships into the sea."

"Is that so!" Borsalino pondered, head bowed. "Looks like that brat's gotten stronger again. What a nuisance!"

"You should notify the naval base to pick you up first. I need to speak with Admiral Sengoku."

After the marines retreated into the town, he took out a Den Den Mushi (snail phone).

"Moshi moshi~ A general from the Warring States period?"

"Borsalino? How's it going? Did they catch Roy?"

"Ah~ It's a little too late. The three warships have already been sunk off the coast of Maple Leaf Island. Roy and his crew... just left."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, followed by Sengoku's voice, laced with suppressed anger: "One strike?"

"It seems so~ According to the surviving Navy reports, it doesn't seem like a typical Devil Fruit ability; it's more like... direct manipulation of seawater. What a monstrous brat~"

Borsalino looked around at the carnage.

"Borsalino, come back first. I'll have the other marines continue the reconnaissance!"

After hanging up the phone, Sengoku looked at Roy's bounty poster and murmured, "I can't let him continue to grow like this! His danger has far exceeded my expectations! If necessary, we must take drastic measures!"

Luo Yi, who had already entered the cabin, was inspecting the ship in the captain's compartment.

Looking around, he didn't find anything unusual, so he didn't rush to search. He plopped down on the captain's chair and began to look through the items on the table.

A bounty poster for the giant axe-wielding Bakker; looking at the amount on the bounty poster.

"Oh, so that nobody reported 38 million Berries?" Roy shook his head with amusement.

I glanced at the clutter on the table: candlesticks, wine bottles, and other random things.

As he stood up, about to use his ability to clear away the trash, he caught a glimpse of a treasure chest in the corner under the bed.

A treasure chest! It seems the Giant Axe Buck Pirates aren't without any treasures after all!

With a slight thought, Roy threw the items on the table out the window, and the treasure chest under the bed slowly floated onto the table.

Hehe, now it's time to open the treasure chest. Hopefully, it will give me a surprise. Roy rubbed his hands together and slowly opened the treasure chest.

What came into view was a vast expanse of glittering gold coins and stacks of Berries, roughly worth around twenty million. But who would care about that little bit of money? You could easily rob a nobleman for more than that.

Just as Roy was feeling disappointed, a small treasure chest under the gold coins peeked out from under the swaying.

Hahaha~~

My luck wasn't so bad after all. I happily brushed aside the top layer of gold coins, and a small box used in the One Piece world to store Devil Fruits was revealed.

Excitedly, he opened the small treasure chest, and what appeared before his eyes was a 'Devil Fruit'.
