The pinnacle of pirates begins with deceiving fate!

Faced with the heavy, domineering atmosphere that filled the office, the CP0 stood with his hands in his pockets, seemingly unconcerned and not taking the office seriously.

“I won’t repeat myself. You just need to know that this is an order from the Celestial Dragon, Roswald Tobias.”

“I’m only here to inform you, without your consent, that CP0 has sent people to the G-10 branch to arrest the criminals.”

Don't try that on me!

He slammed his fist on the desk, his face extremely gloomy.

After enduring it for a while, he picked up the Den Den Mushi and dialed the Five Elders.

at the same time

G-10 Branch, inside the base commander's office.

Three figures in white cloaks wearing eerie masks stood in front of the desk, looking down at the man sitting in the chair smoking.

“John, Saint Tobias has entrusted us with the safe escort of you to the Holy Land. We hope you will not cause us any trouble.”

"Uh……"

John, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, was somewhat speechless.

Just because his marines entered a country where war never ends, the Celestial Dragons ordered his arrest.

Should we send him to the Holy Land to become a slave?

He's even more arrogant than me!

"What, you still want to resist?"

Seeing that John did not get up to cooperate with the arrest, the three CP0 officers reached out from their white cloaks, preparing to use force against him.

Suddenly, a burst of electricity erupted in the office, so bright that the three of them couldn't open their eyes, and their Observation Haki vanished instantly.

I can't sense anything!

Immediately afterwards, three consecutive "pfft" sounds rang out, and the three CP0 members felt a sharp pain in their hearts, followed by an endless chill.

At that moment, the lightning dissipated, and through the three people's blurry vision, they saw John standing expressionlessly in front of them, clutching a still-beating heart in his hand.

The three were terrified, but their strength, which was receding like a receding tide, left them unable to even speak. Their legs gave way, and they collapsed to the ground.

The world gradually turned gray in his eyes, and he stopped breathing and became a corpse.

"This is going to be a difficult situation."

John threw away his heart and pulled a tissue from his desk to wipe the blood from his fingertips.

Although he didn't know the specifics, he guessed it was most likely related to Richard's destruction of the royal family, which was embroiled in endless war.

This is the only thing he's done recently, and it may have touched on the interests of that earthworm monkey.

"Damn wild monkey, how dare you ruin all my hard work over the years! I'll wipe out your entire family!"

John's pupils surged with endless lightning. He picked up the Den Den Mushi, gave Reed only one ring to calm him down, then walked to the windowsill, opened the window, and transformed into lightning that shot into the sky.

His new body, possessing the blood of the Lunaria clan, will be revealed in the next two days.

Just wait!

Naval Headquarters, Marshal's Office.

Sora stared at the Den Den Mushi, who had been unilaterally hung up on and was fast asleep, his face turning pale and then red. In the end, he had no choice but to put down the receiver.

No matter how he tried to persuade or explain, the Five Elders refused to stop Saint Tobias for the sake of a mere Major General.

"John, I've done my best."

Chapter 103 Freshmen

"Ha, a futile struggle."

At the desk, the CP0 officer witnessed the entire conversation between Sora and the Five Elders. Seeing Sora go from being furious to trying his best to salvage the situation, and then to his current resigned and helpless expression, he couldn't help but sneer.

What's with all this arrogance from a mere admiral?

CP0 had no intention of leaving. He took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and emptied it to let them know about the capture operation.

We need to make Kong fully understand that CP0 is above the Navy!

Brubru

Sora realized that this CP0 member intended to humiliate him in person, and he clenched his fists so hard they cracked.

But he quickly calmed down.

The Den Den Mushi "Blue" rang for a long time, but no one answered.

"Damn it, is there going to be an accident just from arresting a mere major general?!"

The face beneath the CP0 mask was contorted with extreme anger. Unable to bear the mocking gaze from the empty space, he turned and slunk away.

Once CP0 was completely out of sight, Kong's expression became complicated again.

"John, is this a rebellion or a defection?"

Although he sympathized with and understood John, from now on John and the Navy would be enemies on opposing sides.

If we meet at sea, he won't hold back!

Punk Hazard

On the cold operating table, John, completely naked, looked up at Begabank, who was standing behind him wearing a mask and glasses, and had a strange sense of déjà vu.

Oh! I remember now.

In the future, whenever people mention Begabank, the image that comes to mind will be that of an evil scientist.

"Could you change your look? The way you are now is making me feel inexplicably uneasy."

"Don't speak!"

Begabank frowned impatiently, took off his rubber gloves, and pressed his ten fingers against John's skull like a Cthulhu tentacle monster.

"I'm about to use my abilities to extract your consciousness and personality, so please don't resist! If you hurt me, there won't be anyone to help you get a new body."

"You've emphasized this eight times already, can't you give me a little trust?"

"I'm mainly afraid you'll shock me."

Begabank muttered something, and his hands, which were pressing on John's head, emitted a milky white light, as if he had grasped something and slowly pulled them out.

Just as he saw the soul-like purple outline being pulled out, a sudden, intense electric current surged through his body as his hands moved.

Then... a loud "boom" resounded.

Begabank looked as if he had been struck by lightning; his hair stood on end, his skin charred black, and he fell straight down.

Before lying on the ground, he spewed black smoke and cursed angrily:

"Damn John, didn't you say you wouldn't electrocute me?!"

The next moment, a humanoid phantom formed from purple lightning floated out from John's crown and hovered in mid-air, looking at his hands in surprise.

"This feeling is like the consciousness of a Paramecia-type Phantom Fruit leaving the body as a spirit."

John floated around in mid-air, like a fish swimming in the sea, feeling a sense of wonder.

Begabank, who had fallen to the ground, coughed violently a few times, then struggled to his feet. Looking at John in this state, he had a big question mark on his face.

The consciousness extracted from his Brain-Brain Fruit wouldn't be like that; it would only be a mass of consciousness like a slime.

They couldn't move around as freely as John is now, and they certainly couldn't use their Devil Fruit powers to electrocute him.

"What's wrong with you, buddy?"

"Ok?"

John turned his head and saw that Begabank's dark face was full of confusion. He suddenly realized that this was not normal.

Could it be related to the fact that I was directly transported into the Rumble-Rumble Fruit?

Moreover, in this state, my physical strength is being depleted very quickly!

But the perception range of the MindNet is ten times that of before!

"Wait for me a moment."

With a single thought, John, in his spirit form, transformed into lightning and instantly dashed out, ignoring the thick metal walls of the operating room and traversing directly above the research institute.

With another thought, it transformed into lightning, leaping through the atmosphere, and in an instant arrived at the sea surface a hundred nautical miles away from Punk Hazard Island.

The speed is many times faster than flying by transforming one's physical body into elements!

But my stamina was also depleted very quickly; I used up most of it in just a few moves, and I was already feeling a little weak.

Looking down at his hands, he noticed that his body, which was composed of intense purple lightning, had become noticeably lighter.

It seems that when he is exhausted, he will turn into lightning and disappear from the world completely.

"Oh no! I have to get back right now!"

The thought quickly came to mind, and John, in his spirit form, returned to the operating room in the blink of an eye, crawling into the new body that was placed next to his original body.

As one enters a new body, it's as if a rootless tree has been nourished by a thick earth, and the physical strength consumed is rapidly restored.

John's eyelids twitched slightly, and he suddenly opened his eyes, feeling that his vision was much clearer than before, and he could smell a more subtle scent with each breath.

This feels like a complete rebirth!

Despite his paralysis, Begabank staggered to the operating table:

"How is it? I've added dynamic vision genes to this body, so you can now spot the trajectory of lightning with the naked eye."

"If you want, everything will appear in slow motion to you."

"Bullet time, huh?"

John sat up and instantly understood what Begabank was trying to say.

In battles between top-tier fighters, many movements are too fast for the naked eye to follow; one must rely entirely on Observation Haki to detect the opponent's aura and trajectory.

Once you encounter a "seeing and hearing kill" (a type of attack), you'll be completely blind.

Of course, the Observation Haki technique is not absolutely invincible; it can be countered if one's Observation Haki is strong enough.
