I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

After nearly half an hour of fierce fighting among the four, three figures arrived on the battlefield, shrouded in wind and snow!

Three lieutenant generals, led by Doug!

They appeared here each pulling a thick seastone chain, which also meant that all the other pirates of the Hell Pirates had been captured!

"Sir, the other two lieutenant generals..."

Figo shielded the three of them and asked.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury. I've had them stationed on the warship," Doug replied.

He didn't mention the deaths and injuries of the major general, field officers, and lower-ranking marines. Instead, he waved the seastone chains at Figo and asked, "Can we use them?"

Figo shook his head.

Seastone doesn't mean that touching a Devil Fruit user will immediately paralyze them and render them unable to move. Otherwise, if each Marine carried a Seastone chain, they could easily whip any Devil Fruit pirate they encountered to death.

As long as you are not completely locked down, you can effectively resist the power of Seastone by covering yourself with Armament Haki in advance and reducing the area of ​​contact.

There's no Vegapunk in this era, and the Navy doesn't seem to have high-purity seastone weapons like Smoker's fork that can render a Devil Fruit user incapacitated with a single thrust. Hoping that The Dark Lord will be careless enough to be bound by seastone chains is less effective than simply blasting The Dark Lord into the water.

“Then we’ll use it.” Doug knew that the three of them didn’t have Seastone chains, so they wouldn’t have any effect on Therbrus. “We’ll provide backup around you, don’t let this guy escape!”

Figo didn't refuse: "Be careful."

On the other side, when Doug and his two companions appeared, Fat Shield also whispered to The Blues.

"Boss, should we retreat?"

The Blues had a sullen, dog-like face.

no answer.

Retreat? More like escape.

The current situation is indeed becoming increasingly unfavorable.

Even the navy began to guard against his escape.

But...run away?

The Navy captured all the officers of his Hell Pirates crew, leaving only him and his vice-captain Tony Toya to flee like stray dogs, turning him from a king into a laughingstock on the high seas?!

I am Hot Blues, the man of hell!

Click!Click!

His domineering aura intensified, and several thunderclaps echoed across the sky! He charged towards Figo and the lieutenant generals again, his momentum unstoppable. Today, it's either you die or I perish!

Figo met the attack head-on, while Doug's loud laughter echoed: "Come on, The Bruce, do it! Don't let me look down on you! As the king of the sea, I, Doug, am absolutely certain that I will not run away in defeat!"

The power of encouragement and inspiration surges forth.

The fierce battle has broken out again!

Half an hour later, two lieutenant generals other than Doug were grazed by The Bruce's attack and seriously injured, leaving the battlefield and escaping into the sea. This also gave Figo the opportunity to injure The Bruce's internal organs!

As night fell, The Blues could no longer tolerate Doug's Encouragement Fruit and Sapphire's precognitive interference, and chose to trade blows!

The old man, exhausted, suffered a severe injury, but took the opportunity to use the Seastone chains to bind the fat man's shield. Sapphire stepped forward and used the Snow-Snow Fruit to completely freeze the exhausted fat man, but he was also forced to cough up blood and suffer serious injuries from Hot Bruce's attack!

At the same time, Figo's fist landed directly on The Bruce's eye socket, smashing out one of his dog eyes and severely injuring The Bruce!

Fatty Round Shield, Sapphire, and Doug successively withdrew from the battlefield, and two of the four plots of Witch Island were gradually and completely swallowed by the sea!

On the remaining two pieces of ground, Figo and the one-eyed, out-of-control Therbrus continued their deadly battle one-on-one!

The two fought fiercely until dawn. A full day and night had passed since the battle began, and there was finally very little place left for them to settle down!

Outside Witch Island, ten warships firmly blockaded the area, with sailors and pirate prisoners anxiously awaiting the outcome of the battle.

Doug, his body wrapped in bandages, stood at the bow of the ship with Mia, who had already woken up, his hands sometimes clenching tightly, sometimes trembling and loosening.

Suddenly, a tremendous roar resounded from the direction of the battlefield, followed by a demonic figure of purple flames rising slowly.

The purple flames shot up to a height of over two hundred meters, forming the shape of a giant fire dog, overlooking the land and the entire sea!

The seawater beneath the warship seemed to boil upon the appearance of this figure, bubbling and gurgling, but the heat was quickly extinguished as the seawater flowed.

Meanwhile, in the center of the sea, the demonic phantom also vanished and shattered!

"Want to evaporate the seawater? The ocean is the most ruthless! Hot Bruce, it's over!" Doug clenched his fists excitedly, tears welling up in his old eyes.

A smile appeared on Mia's still pale face: "Figo will definitely win, otherwise he would have swum back long ago and used the Buster Call's artillery barrage to blast Therbrus into the water. You should believe that without a doubt... Haha."

"Use the Buster Call's artillery barrage to bombard them? What about my participation in the capture? We've already fought to this extent, Figo isn't going to resort to tricks!"

Figo felt a pang of regret at the 20% deduction in participation, but in a one-on-one situation, he did have a considerable chance of losing, and if Thebruzzo wanted to leave, he would have no way to stop him.

But this guy's crime index is only 1/4 of that Celestial Dragon's?

The crime index is something that becomes increasingly difficult to increase the higher it is. It doesn't just increase by killing one person; even killing ten people might not raise it by a single point. Currently, the highest crime index among the great pirates in Impel Down is less than 150.

Compared to them, 675 points is very high, but compared to the Celestial Dragons, it seems too low.

Figo considered the possibilities and felt there were two. One was that The Brutus was evil, but he knew what he was doing. His goal was more about domination than killing for pleasure, and he wouldn't be like the Celestial Dragons who would grin foolishly at a family of three on the street and point at the girl, saying they wanted her as a slave.

Secondly, the Celestial Dragons may be burdened with sins related to the origins of the slave trade or something else.

Figo couldn't delve into the specifics right now; his mind was more focused on the choice of what would bring him benefit—swordsmanship, my swordsmanship!

Choose the benefit: Armament Haki.

Armament Haki: +64800 → 124795

Level 5, a master of Armament Haki!

Figo suddenly wanted to release The Bruce, who had just been locked in the cage, and have another fight with him!

Chapter Fifty Curiosity

There are few secrets on the high seas.

The passage of the Buster Call warships, which blasted three unfortunate pirate crews into the sea, couldn't completely stop the flow of news. With one of the New World's two superpowers, Hellboy The Man of Hell, leading his entire crew, it was impossible for word to leak out completely.

The clash between these two sides is a once-in-a-lifetime event!

Even before the battle broke out, the great pirates in the surrounding seas had heard about it, especially those great pirates who were only below the level of the Twin Stars. They were the first to sense the wind and waited for an opportunity to act.

Will the Hell Pirates suffer heavy losses? Do we have a chance to dethrone them? Will the Navy be enraged and launch a purge?

But even the most daring pirates could not have predicted that they would end up with the entire Hell Pirates crew, including one of their officers and Hot Blues, wiped out!

"The world is about to change. Who is this guy who fought against The Blues for a day and a night? Is there such a powerful figure hidden in the Navy?"

The notorious pirate Higuain, with a bounty of 620 million, stood at the bow of the ship and sighed solemnly.

A pirate nearby asked, "Captain, if we stay here any longer, we expect to encounter the Buster Call fleet returning in half an hour. Shouldn't we turn around and leave the warship's route?"

"Ah, we've seen enough of the excitement."

Higuain grinned bloodthirstyly and turned to command, "Men, turn back! Hurry up and carve up the Hell Pirates' territory! This ocean is vast enough that the Gluttonous King alone cannot rule the entire New World. He also needs someone to help him share the pressure from the Navy! We will become the new poles of the sea! The new kings!"

"Oh!" cheers erupted.

Amid the cheers, a discordant pirate voice suddenly broke in: "Hey, ship, captain, look up at the sky! There are people flying in the sky!"

"Hmm?" Higuain looked up and met the gaze of a small old man flying high in the sky.

The next second, his smile froze on his face, his pupils contracted sharply, and sweat beaded on Higuain's forehead!

The little old man landed.

Higuain's legs were trembling!

No, don't come any closer! I just came over to watch the drama unfold!

"Run! Run! That's Fleet Admiral Oku! Set sail immediately!!"

Two minutes later, the pirate ship that carried the dream of a great pirate sank into the sea, along with the pirates on board, and never came back to life.

The Ao family members soared into the air again, extremely surprised but also somewhat relieved: "They actually won?"

The strongest Marine of the previous generation, and possibly the strongest Marine of the present generation—a user of the Float-Float Fruit.

Fleet Admiral Okuya!

……

"Hahaha, O's family, you old codger, you came pretty fast!" Upon seeing the O's family arrive, Doug's loud laughter rang out: "You flew here at full speed, didn't you? What a pity, what a pity, you're still a little late, otherwise you could have gotten a share of the credit for capturing The Bruce."

Ao Jia glared at Doug, and the old man was so happy his mouth practically flew open.

So what if you picked up a powerful student? What did you teach him? If I hadn't been coaching the elite battalion, Figo would definitely be stronger than he is now! He would have to call me teacher! And he would call me teacher more sincerely!

Ignoring Doug, he first responded to the greetings from the marines on his ship and those on neighboring ships, noticing that they still had some excitement on their faces, wondering how loud their cheers had been during the previous victory and what kind of respect Figo had received.

That's really something! That old bastard Doug!

He cursed under his breath, then looked up at Figo approaching and smiled, saying, "Well done, Figo. How's your injury?"

"Medium-rare." Figo was also wrapped in bandages. The last blow from The Bruce in his desperate situation had caused him considerable injuries. "It won't have much of an impact. Eating two sea kings will be enough."

Auer raised his hand and patted Figo's waist to make sure Figo was still strong and muscular, and said, "To be honest, I still find it hard to believe that you were able to defeat that guy, Therbrus!"

"Could you, with your old bones, still do it? You've held the title of the strongest navy for over 30 years; it's probably time for a change!"

Doug was still grinning from ear to ear.
