Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

"Ok?"

However, just as Jitte was about to strike, Ace suddenly sensed something was wrong and quickly raised his hand to parry!

'boom! '

The ten-handed strike to Ace's right arm sent a sharp pain through him, knocking him back.

He dragged his legs along the ground for more than ten meters before finally coming to a stop...

'It hit me... The same kind of power as old man Garp? A Marine captain possesses that kind of power?'

Ace's expression turned serious.

He didn't quite understand the power of domineering aura.

However, having seen the scene where Garp beat Luffy, who is a rubber man, up, they know that Garp has the power to ignore the "characteristics" of Devil Fruit users.

Could it be that this navy also possesses such power?

"Although the elemental transformation of nature-based beings is troublesome, it's not without countermeasures. Don't underestimate this ocean, kid!"

Smoker, his body enveloped in mist, said indifferently, "But you'll never have the chance to witness the vastness of the ocean!"

"Ace, are you alright?"

Deus ran to Ace's side, also quite surprised.

How could Ace, who is made of fire, be hit?!

"I'm fine..."

Ace rubbed his aching right arm, his expression still uneasy: "This guy has the ability to hit me; I can't keep entangled with him..."

Diuss nodded hurriedly: "Okay, let's break out together!"

"go!"

Ace had no intention of getting entangled with Smoker.

His opponent could hit him, but he couldn't hit them; continuing the fight would only put him at a disadvantage...

The key is to get rid of the other party's entanglement first!

"Where can you run to? I've already told you, your journey ends here, criminals!"

Seeing the two turn and leave, Smoker's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he turned into smoke to give chase.

A criminal who ate a Logia-type Devil Fruit, specifically the Flame-Flame Fruit, a Devil Fruit with immense destructive power.

The other party has become a considerable threat; we absolutely cannot let them leave!

'Boom! Boom boom boom…'

Flames and smoke clashed once more, and then drifted further and further away...

Chapter 42 The Invaders!

"Quick! Break through!"

Seeing the Marine captain who had eaten a Logia-type Devil Fruit chasing after another person, Buggy quickly shouted to his men.

Now is the time to break through!

"Kill these damned navy men!"

Pakistan was the first to charge out.

The 50 million Berry bounty might be a bit exaggerated, but the 10 million Berry bounty is definitely real.

Ordinary naval forces are no match for him.

Led by Bucky, dozens of men charged into the navy's encirclement.

The navy fought back fiercely, but their encirclement was breached, and the Buggy Pirates broke through...

"Hahaha, the mere navy is utterly pathetic! Men, charge!"

Bucky laughed heartily.

They've had to fight a lot of people lately because of the 50 million Berries they lost.

Nothing else, but my skills have been honed.

The morale of the Buggy Pirates members was extremely high, thanks to Buggy's encouragement.

The two sides engaged in a pursuit, chasing and fleeing, gradually heading towards the port...

"Tch, they're not even going to have the final showdown here..."

Seeing this, Lockes pursed his lips and didn't linger there. He finished his food in a few bites, paid the bill, and chased after them.

This is hilarious, you might as well watch it.

He was eager to know how this would unfold...

……

Just as chaos erupted in Loguetown...

Several ships flying pirate flags also marched in a grand procession toward Loguetown.

The ship's flag depicts a skull, with an hourglass on either side of the skull.

Anyone who pays even a little attention to the newspapers will know that this pirate flag represents the Krieg Pirates, who have recently risen to fame in the East Blue!

Its captain, Admiral Creek, has a bounty of twelve million Berries!

On the largest ship.

Clad in golden armor and a cloak, Krieg looked at Loguetown ahead with a smug smile: "Loguetown? The place where the Pirate King Roger was executed."

"The town that represents both beginning and end, its location is just right..."

"Let the destruction of the Buggy Pirates and the fall of Loguetown be the starting point for my conquest of the East Blue!"

As a pirate who has recently risen to fame, Krieg has enormous ambitions.

He wanted immense fame and to become the sole pirate overlord of the East Blue.

and so……

His target is the Buggy Pirates, who currently have the highest bounty in the East Blue. He wants to step over their corpses to become the overlord of the East Blue...

……

another orientation.

A warship is sailing towards the town of Logue on the sea.

Standing on the deck of the warship was a man nearly three meters tall, wearing a naval justice cloak, with slightly graying hair.

His eyes were sinister, and his face was covered in scars, clearly indicating that he had been through many dangerous battles...

This can be determined from the badges he wore on his military uniform.

This is a Rear Admiral from the Navy Headquarters!

"Major General Daritz!"

A navy officer jogged over, saluted the rear admiral, and said, "I just contacted the Loguetown branch navy."

"They told us that Loguetown has been attacked by pirates and they requested our reinforcements..."

"Oh? Pirates attacked Loguetown?"

Major General Dalitz's expression remained largely unchanged, as if he didn't care at all.

He simply asked, "Who is the commander of the Loguetown naval base?"

The naval soldier replied, "I think his name was Colonel Odo, but he's about to leave office, and the new one is that 'White Hunter' Smoker!"

As a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, Smoker is quite well-known within the Navy.

After all, the Navy's three top combatants are all Logia-type Devil Fruit users.

Naturally, Smoker also received a great deal of attention...

"Oh, it's him."

Daritz clearly recognized Smoker, but only gave a casual reply.

The other person is not on his side...

Daritz casually asked, "Which pirates attacked Loguetown?"

"It seems to be the Buggy Pirates, which have been making headlines in the East Blue recently."

The naval soldier answered truthfully: "There is also someone worth paying attention to."

"This person is a criminal who ate the Logia-type Flame-Flame Fruit and killed a Marine Captain in full view of everyone..."

"The Buggy Pirates..."

Daritz's focus was on the Buggy Pirates; he repeated a sentence, a cold glint in his eyes...

Navy officers at the rank of Rear Admiral rarely travel to the four seas to carry out missions.

Their mission is within the Grand Line, and their target is the even more ferocious pirates there.

The reason he came to the East China Sea this time was because he had a personal matter to attend to...

His nephews and nieces, the rats who made money for him, were killed.

The ones who killed the rat were the Buggy Pirates...

He is about to retire, and although the Navy offers very good benefits and a large pension, he is still in retirement.

However, his pension is only enough to cover his daily life; he wants more!

Only by owning more Pelés can he live the "decent" life he desires after retirement...

"The Buggy Pirates, a criminal who ate a Logia-type Devil Fruit... Who would have thought that such vicious pirates would appear in the East Blue, the weakest sea..."

Daritz's sinister gaze fell upon the black dot ahead, the location of Rogue Town...

"Since we've run into them, and the Loguetown Marines have requested our assistance, let's go and see just how vicious these ruthless pirates in the East Blue really are..."
