Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

How could a move like Dark Water possibly be of any use to him? It wouldn't have the slightest effect, and of course, it wouldn't accomplish anything.

Just then, Luo Feng arrived with Robin and the others.

Looking at Blackbeard lying on the ground, too exhausted to even struggle, Luo Feng turned around and instructed, "Nami, check if there are any Marine branches recently. We should set off."

"Understood, Captain!"

Upon hearing this, Nami immediately pulled out a sea chart from her bag and examined it carefully.

Hearing this, Blackbeard, who was lying on the ground, forced himself to stay awake, raised his upper body with difficulty, looked at Luo Feng, and asked with difficulty, ignoring the blood in his mouth, "You...you're going to hand me over...to the Navy?!"

If that were the case for Blackbeard, it would be far too dramatic, truly a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

"Stop making a scene for yourself, this has nothing to do with you."

Luo Feng glanced at him indifferently, extended a finger, and a blue light appeared at his fingertip before quickly flying out and disappearing into Blackbeard's body...

The next moment, Blackbeard completely lost consciousness and fell into a coma!

"Captain, we've found it!"

Chapter 136 The Great Battle is Imminent!

Luo Feng's fingertips shimmered with starlight as he unleashed a repulsive force that struck Blackbeard directly into his body.

The concentrated repulsive force erupted within his defenseless body, directly destroying most of his internal organs. This caused Blackbeard, who was already severely injured and could barely stand, to fall into a coma.

This guy is so noisy. It will take him a few more days to get back to Alabasta. Quietly waiting to die is the attitude Blackbeard should have.

"Captain, look."

Just then, Nami returned, unfolded the nautical chart in her hand, pointed to a location on it, and said, "This place, about 240 nautical miles from us, is a branch of the Navy."

"The route is slightly off from the one leading to Alabasta, so we need to take a detour, but it's not far from the shipping lane. It will only take half a day longer to get there."

Nami held the sea chart and reported to Luo Feng.

The Navy's G12 branch was a branch that Luo Feng and his group passed through on their way from Alabasta to the Boin Islands, and it was marked by Nami at that time.

"Okay, let's go here."

Luo Feng ruffled Nami's orange hair, ignoring the dissatisfaction of the others, and then instructed everyone, "Everyone, get ready, we're heading back!"

"Take all these people into custody and bring them back to the ship. Of course, don't let the dead go either. Let's set sail!"

After saying that, Luo Feng led a few girls away and headed towards the port, leaving Bartolomeo and the others to handle the rough work.

Luo Feng and his crew's plan was executed perfectly, successfully capturing Ace and Blackbeard, and wiping out the Blackbeard Pirates. Thus, their trip to Banaro Island came to an end.

Bartolomeo, Zoro, and the others, along with the unconscious Ace and Blackbeard, followed Luo Feng back to the ship.

The large ship sailed out of the harbor and headed towards the Navy's G12 branch!

The four combatants were somewhat dissatisfied with the trip, and upon returning to the ship, they didn't rest for a moment but immediately started various weightlifting exercises to vent their frustration...

There was no other way. For these battle-crazed fanatics, they finally got permission from Luo Feng to make a move, but their opponent was ridiculously weak!

They're both just one-hit kills, not much stronger than the behemoth on the Baron of the Stomach. What's the point of fighting them?

This explains why Crocodile showed such obvious displeasure and disdain after defeating Lafitte!

Zoro, who was directly confronting Blackbeard, seemed even more frustrated than the others.

At this moment, he was in the training ground on the ship, shirtless, holding a huge iron block that was several times heavier than his usual limit, venting his frustration wildly!

There's no way around it, Blackbeard's defeat was just too... stupid!

Even though they were completely countered by someone without a Devil Fruit ability, they shouldn't have lost so easily given their years of experience...

However, this is understandable. After his fierce battle with Ace, Blackbeard was already in extremely poor condition. Then, he made that bizarre move against Zoro, taking full damage from Zoro's attacks.

Given the attack power Zoro can unleash now, even Blackbeard at his peak wouldn't be able to escape unscathed if he didn't dodge and took the full hit!

At the top of the mast of the large ship, there is a small building, which is the ship's watchtower, located at a commanding height.

Luo Feng, a carefree idler on the ship, was leisurely flirting with Weiwei, who was working part-time as a lookout, making the young woman blush repeatedly.

In this location, one could naturally see the entire ship. Seeing the group of people frantically training, Luo Feng couldn't help but smile, muttering to himself, "No need to rush. The great battle you've been longing for won't be long before it arrives..."

The large ship was sailing at a normal speed on the channel, unlike when it came; it was not in a hurry and there was no need to rush.

But two hundred nautical miles is not far at all. Less than a day and a half after leaving Panaro Island, an island appeared on the horizon.

Calling it an island would be an exaggeration; even small islands like Panaro Island are many times larger. To be precise, it's just a giant reef, about the size of a dozen football fields.

Here stands a rather magnificent and tall building, stretching across the center.

The building is a typical naval-style structure, with the naval ensign and the World Government flag flying at the top, and a seagull symbolizing the navy in the center.

In the center of the enormous building, the words "G12" are prominently displayed!

"Mr. Luo Feng, we've arrived at the branch!"

On the observation platform, Weiwei was holding binoculars, looking around while shouting to Class A below.

"Should we go around it, Captain?" Nami asked Luo Feng, who was standing at the bow of the ship.

No matter what, they are pirates. It's a bit too conspicuous for them to swagger into a Marine branch like this.

"339 Cang Mei 40 Zhuan 57 Bi 8 Zhong Yao Qun Ling 8.8"

Luo Feng shook his head, his tone calm, and said, "Let's continue like this, at full speed."

So, on the vast sea, a large ship appeared, heading straight for the G12 branch at full speed, without missing a single target.

On the open sea, they were an extremely obvious target, and the naval personnel on duty naturally spotted them immediately.

However, since Luo Feng and his group's ship had no markings, and such ships were mostly civilian merchant ships on the high seas, they did not become wary.

Assuming the other party had mistakenly entered the area, the on-duty marine took out a megaphone and routinely issued a warning: "Ships ahead, stop! Stop!"

"This is the Navy. You have already deviated from the course. Do not trespass. Leave immediately!"

However, there was no response whatsoever, and the large ship neither changed course nor stopped, maintaining its speed as it headed towards the G12017 branch!

It wasn't until the large ship was within sight that the sailors took it seriously and began issuing warnings repeatedly through loudspeakers.

They even fired several artillery shells as a strong warning, trying to stop them!

Of course, the so-called cannonballs had no power, and the target was only the sea area near the large ship, which was only for warning purposes and had no direct attack purpose.

After all, this is the first half of the Grand Line, and the Navy's major agencies and headquarters are located here, so the jurisdiction over this sea area is very strict.

The kind of navy that is ubiquitous and unrestrained, like the Four Seas, and trashy naval officers like Morgan and Captain Rat are not common here. Surveillance here is particularly strict!

The navy, after all, symbolizes justice and is generally quite friendly to civilians; it is unlikely that they would arbitrarily attack civilians.

Otherwise, they would have been dismissed long ago, with plenty of naval officers and soldiers waiting to take their place!

Therefore, when faced with Luo Feng and his group of merchant ships that appeared to be ordinary civilians, even though they had already entered the branch's cordon, the patrolling marines did not take action without authorization, but only kept issuing warnings!

“It’s not unheard of before that merchant ships have been hijacked and stormed into the branch office seeking help.”

A naval captain was alarmed and frowned as he watched the large ship about to enter the branch.

"Something's not right... Go and inform Lieutenant General N'Zoth, let him make the decision himself!"

Chapter 137 Hand Ace over to the Navy!

In the world, a captain-level officer has enough experience and ability to lead a branch and manage a sea area, but here they are clearly not up to the task and are far from qualified.

Unlike the four seas, the naval branch located in the Grand Line faces greater dangers and has to carry out missions of a completely different level of difficulty.

Therefore, the highest-ranking officer in this branch is usually at the rank of lieutenant general!

Like this N'Zoth, who is just an ordinary naval vice admiral, but is the highest-ranking officer of this G12 branch.

In more dangerous and important sea areas, there will be lieutenant generals or even elite lieutenant generals leading the troops!

Just like the flying squirrel of the G1 branch and Smoker who led G5 two years later, they are both representatives of this.

"Lieutenant General, you've arrived. Look at this..."

After a while, N'Zoth arrived at the bay. He had clearly learned about the situation and looked at the large ship that had just docked at the shore with a sense of suspicion.

As a precaution, the marines around the bay all aimed their guns at the large ship in the center!

"You bunch of guys, is this how you treat your benefactor? That's not right. Our captain has brought you tremendous military merit!"

There was finally movement on the large ship. Luo Feng walked slowly to the bow, and the one who spoke was Bartolomeo, who was following behind him.

"Get the bounty ready, and we'll send you a few pirate heads."

Seeing N'Zoth's attire, Luo Feng knew he was the head of this branch, so he didn't bother with any more words and instructed Bartolomeo beside him, "Have them bring him out."

Luo Feng and the others' nonchalant attitude stunned the marines present. Who were these extraordinary people who dared to act like this, coming out to claim them as benefactors of the navy?

N'Zoth was speechless. This was hardly a civilian merchant ship!

To brazenly barge into a naval branch like this, ignoring all warnings, and then come all this way just to collect a bounty—this is somewhat disrespectful to the navy and a bit too arrogant!

"Go and get the bounty posters that are still valid!" N'Zoth was furious, and his tone was naturally unpleasant as he ordered the marines beside him.

"You are bounty hunters?" N'Zoth asked Luo Feng after the marines left.

At this moment, his expression wasn't exactly bad; rather, it was somewhat gloomy.

Being so disrespected, N'Zoth would probably have exploded long ago if he weren't a member of the Navy and had some professional ethics. Now, he was barely suppressing his anger as he questioned Luo Feng and the others.

Bounty hunters are a loose 'organization' on the high seas, situated between the two major powers of the Navy and pirates.

Some are individuals acting spontaneously, while others operate as gangs. Ultimately, they all rely on hunting pirates with bounties to make a living. Zoro and Baroque before him are typical examples.

Regardless of the process, the existence of these people is definitely most beneficial to the navy if we only consider the result, so they have never been dealt with.

The fact that this group of people had appeared and immediately wanted to exchange pirates for bounties made N'Zoth and the other marines think of them right away.

That's why he was even angrier!

When did bounty hunters become so arrogant? They actually barged into a branch, and in this kind of manner, especially in the Grand Line, frankly speaking, they're really asking for trouble!

You have to understand, these people can only survive by relying on the navy!

Looking at N'Zoth's extremely grim expression, Luo Feng smiled faintly and uttered a statement that was sure to shock...

"No, we are pirates."

Those few simple words seemed to drop the temperature in the entire G12 branch to freezing point, leaving everyone in shock!
