A pirate on the high seas kidnaps a Celestial Dragon!

Last time, when he took action against the Navy's 153rd Branch here, those ants really didn't inspire him.

and so……

He hoped that the newcomer would be stronger.

such.

That's when he became even more interested.

"This is the East Blue. Unless the naval hero Garp returns to his hometown, the naval forces you encounter here won't be very strong."

Lucci also spoke up.

As a former member of CP9, he naturally has a deep understanding of the world's situation.

Therefore.

He was well aware that there were very few strong individuals in the East China Sea, especially within the naval forces.

The only one with real strength.

He is Garp, who is known as a naval hero in the Navy.

but.

He also saw the appearance of the warships on the other side through binoculars.

The bow of that warship is not a dog's head.

and so……

The visitor was not Garp.

That makes things much easier to solve.

As long as it's not Garp.

He didn't take the other naval forces in the East China Sea seriously at all.

"It's him."

"Captain Smoker, stationed at the Marine Headquarters in Loguetown, has a Logia-type Devil Fruit ability: the Smoke-Smoke Fruit."

"However, Armament Haki can solve this. If that doesn't work, since the Navy has come out to arrest people, they should have a Seastone handcuff on their warship. There's nothing to fear."

After seeing Smoker through the binoculars, Qi Bai simply smiled and said...

now.

He's no longer the newbie who just transmigrated here.

It's just Smoker.

In his eyes, they were nothing more than people with some strength.

That's all.

but.

After seeing Smoker, other ideas began to form in his mind.

"You guys can deal with this guy yourselves."

"However, try to capture as many sailors on this warship as possible alive, especially that sailor named Smoker. I want him alive. If the others resist stubbornly, then kill them."

Qi Bai also addressed his subordinates.

"Boss, you can rest assured and leave it to us."

"..."

Grimmjow and the others also spoke respectfully to Qi Bai.

Each of them was full of confidence in their own abilities.

What is Smoker anyway?

It was their honor to be able to die for Qi Bai.

……

On Smoker's naval warship.

"Report!!!"

The ship's observer also noticed the situation and immediately shouted.

"explain."

Smoker said succinctly.

"The pirates on the other side have made a move, and some of their crew members are flying directly towards us... or even running towards us???"

The observer, after seeing what he witnessed, also expressed that he was stunned.

It's really gone!

Flying is easy to say.

After all, his superior, Colonel Smoker, sometimes flies up when he uses his Devil Fruit powers.

but.

Apart from the two people flying in the sky, the other side...

Another one is that it runs directly on the sea surface.

This is absolutely unscientific!

He felt that, given his intelligence, it would be difficult for him to understand this situation.

"Oh, I've already seen it."

Smoker also exhaled wisps of smoke and said.

in his sight.

above.

One seemed to be leaping through the air, while the other was even faster, moving as if flashing through the air.

As for the sea surface.

That guy running on the sea.

Smoker stated that this peculiar ability must be a Devil Fruit power.

After all, Devil Fruit abilities are endless and varied, so it's not surprising that one or two can walk directly on the sea surface. After all, even Admiral Aokiji can use his Devil Fruit ability to ride a bicycle on the sea, so walking or running on the sea surface isn't that strange.

……

Qi Bai's side.

Grimmjow, Lucci, and Zabuza Momochi all set off immediately.

but.

Only one person remained on the ship.

That was Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

Compared to Grimmjow, who is an Arrancar, he is perfectly capable of landing, walking, and even running in the air.

There's also Luna's Moonwalk, one of the Six Styles of the Navy, which allows for aerial movement.

As for Zabuza Momochi, he used chakra to concentrate under his feet, allowing him to walk and run on the sea.

And he.

This is a bit awkward.

He is strong, but he lacks spiritual pressure and chakra, so he cannot perform the actions of Grimmjow and Zabuza Momochi.

originally.

If he learns Moonwalk, one of the Six Powers of the Navy, then he can also fly there directly, just like Lucci.

but.

During this period, he was indeed working hard to train and improve himself.

They all specialized in cultivation methods that went beyond mere domineering aura.

As a result, the Six Styles of the Navy were temporarily put aside.

and so……

He hasn't even learned Moonwalk yet.

There should be smaller boats on board.

Ji Guoyuan muttered to himself in thought.

Obviously.

He was out of options, so he wanted to just row across.

"Yoriichi, let's just forget about it."

Qi Bai stopped him.

Should we have them row across? By the time Yoriichi Tsugikuni arrives, the battle there will already be over.

“That place is fine to leave to Grimmjow and the others.”

Qi Bai's words.

This also made Yoriichi Tsugikuni somewhat unwilling.

When it was time for him to contribute to the boss, he faltered because he hadn't yet learned Moonwalk and couldn't help.

This also made him secretly make up his mind.

After this matter is over.

He must first learn Moonwalk.

……

On the naval warship led by Smoker.

They were also on high alert for the arrival of Grimmjow and his gang.

After all, the other party can walk directly in the air and run on the sea. No matter how you look at it, the other party is not a simple character.

Therefore, to deal with this group of pirates, they naturally had to put in 100% of their focus.

Chapter 48: Smoker is defeated! [1]

After all, for the navy...

Fighting pirates is risking your life. If you don't put in 100% focus and get killed, it would be such a waste.

"fire!!!"

A naval officer loudly issued the order.

Immediately following was a deafening barrage of artillery fire, with shells flying toward Grimmjow and his men.

A loud explosion rang out.

The shells that landed on Grimmjow exploded directly.

"Tch, is that all? It's boring."

Grimmjow wasn't unable to dodge; rather, he had absolutely no intention of dodging. Would a person deliberately dodge an ant that's heading their way? Of course not.

Therefore, the ants' collisions will simply be ignored.

That's why Grimmjow allowed the enemy's shells to land directly on him.

After the smoke and dust dissipated.

He was unharmed; the explosion didn't even damage the clothes he was wearing.
