Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

This person has very quick reflexes.

At some point, Gion emerged from the cabin and looked at the naval captain who was fighting Humphrey Tang.

I don't think I've ever seen this strange war dance before.

Gion stared intently at the colonel's every move, trying to find similar moves in his battle dance to those in her memory.

With his joints entangled by the naval captain, Humphrey Tang could only watch helplessly as he plummeted from the air onto the deck.

"Let me go! Let me go!!!"

He shouted, somewhat out of his mind.

Because of that damned naval captain behind him, Humphrey Tang can't even put his arm in front of him anymore.

He could only test the deck's hardness with his own face!

"You forced me to do this!"

Humphrey Tang's body suddenly changed; the joints that had been held firmly in place by the naval captain had now transformed into the limbs of an animal.

His large body instantly broke free from the naval captain's restraints and landed steadily on the board.

Boom!

With a loud bang, all the navy personnel closest to Humphrey Tang were knocked down.

A pair of snake-shaped pupils stared expressionlessly at the leisurely-looking naval captain, while his tongue kept sticking out, gathering information in the air.

Its gaping maw was filled with mucus, revealing sharp teeth.

"My turn, Navy!"

Without warning, Humphrey Tang, transformed into a lizard, began running wildly across the deck.

Upon seeing this, the naval captain showed no panic; instead of retreating, he advanced.

Clang!

The naval captain's left leg, imbued with Armament Haki, kicked Humphrey Tang in the head.

The clash between the tough armor and the Armament Haki sparked countless sparks, and cracks appeared beneath their feet, spreading outwards.

Seeing the terrifying scene, the surrounding marines and pirates quickly moved to the edge to avoid being accidentally injured within the fighting range. "After completely transforming into a lizard, its strength and defense have increased significantly, but its speed and agility have decreased."

The naval captain moved his slightly aching left leg.

In that collision, he did not gain the upper hand and instead suffered a minor injury to his leg.

However, looking at Humphrey Tang, who was shaking his head and seemed a little dizzy, he believed that he still couldn't possibly lose.

Humphrey shook his head a couple of times, forcing himself to regain his senses.

"Oh!"

Looking at the despicable man across from him, still sporting a relaxed smile, Humphrey Tang was practically going crazy with anger.

He ran quickly across the deck, his forelimbs suddenly lunging towards the position of the naval captain.

The naval captain was about to dodge when he suddenly realized something and instead of dodging, he did not dodge.

He covered his hands with Armament Haki, grabbed Humphrey Tang's forelimbs with both hands, and lifted Humphrey Tang's body up.

"Heh, so that's what you're worried about!"

A hint of smugness flashed in Humphrey Tang's previously emotionless eyes; he seemed to have found the weakness in the man before him.

If Captain Liu Cai had dodged, Humphrey Tang would never have stopped running.

The result could be that the sailors behind the naval captain would be broken or thrown into the sea by the impact of Humphrey Tang.

Judging from Humphrey Tang's eyes, even those entangled with the marines were some of his pirate subordinates.

He didn't take it seriously at all.

The wealthy Fleetton lunged forward with his forelimbs, lunging at the naval captain in front of him.

When a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user fully transforms, their weight will also change accordingly.

Humphrey Tang, now using his weight advantage, had pinned the previously formidable naval captain down.

The naval captain knelt on one knee, his hands gripping Humphrey Tang's forelimbs tightly.

Humphrey Tang, however, didn't care at all, saying, "You're going to die, kid."

After saying that, Humphrey Tang's gaping maw lunged at the naval captain beneath him.

"Sir!"

"No!"

One by one, the naval soldiers witnessed this scene and frantically waved their sabers.

The sudden burst of power startled the pirates beside him, who involuntarily made way for him.

However, the old pirate quickly realized what was happening and blocked the road with his knife.

"Men, stop them!"

"We can't let them ruin the boss's plans!"

"Once our boss kills their commander, we can capture a warship!"

The pirates roared.

Perhaps it was out of trust in the pirate leader, or perhaps it was a choice made out of necessity!

In short, once they realized what was happening, the naval soldiers were unable to advance even an inch.

Looking at the naval captain who was bowing his head and facing him, Humphrey Tang felt a surge of excitement.

Everyone says that Humphrey Tang only managed to make a name for himself in the North Blue because of his Devil Fruit powers, and now he, Humphrey Tang, is going to tell the world the truth.

There's nothing shameful about using a Devil Fruit!

It's never shameful to survive; it's shameful to die.

Regardless, the victor of this battle is him—Humphrey Tang.

"You really think you can defeat me?"

The naval captain, who was kneeling on one knee, suddenly raised his head, a mocking smile on his face.

"What!"

Humphrey Tang's pupils dilated instantly, and his mind went completely blank.

But his mouth was still trying to bite off the naval captain's head.

The naval captain moved instantly close to Humphrey Tang's body, pressing his shoulder against Tang's chin to prevent him from biting down.

At the same time, his legs continued to exert force, pushing Humphrey Tang's body toward the deck behind him with a powerful impact.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Humphrey Tang's figure kept bumping into the railings and shelves on the deck.

The scales of victory gradually tipped in favor of the navy.

"!!!"

Humphrey Tang was furious; he had never been so wronged.

Since setting sail, he has had a smooth and successful life thanks to his Zoan-type Lizard Fruit, and no one has ever been able to harm him.

Today, he was constantly bleeding at the hands of the navy man in front of him, which made him extremely resentful.

Anger drove him to constantly push himself to the limit in an attempt to break free from the naval captain's control.

"Get out of my way!"

Blood streamed from Humphrey Tang's eyes, and his scales cracked. The sudden surge of power sent the naval captain flying.

"Let me show you what pain tastes like!"

Freed from his restraints, Humphrey Tang did not confront the naval captain head-on as before, but instead charged towards the other end of the deck where the naval soldiers were fighting.

The colonel scrambled to his feet and instinctively rushed toward Humphrey Tang.

boom!!!

An unexpected explosion suddenly occurred on the ship.

The lizard, which had been rampaging around, was now pinned down on the deck by a foot.

That long, slender leg continued to gradually apply force.

Caramel...

The sound of scales shattering rang out, followed by the bones inside the body breaking under the immense force.

Because the pain came so quickly and so intensely, Humphrey Tang was unable to even utter a painful howl.

咔．

The sound of the deck breaking echoed beneath Humphrey Tang.

A dense network of cracks, resembling a spider web, spread outwards from Humphrey Tang's body.

"This is bad, the ship is going to sink."

The pirate ship's deck had already developed many cracks during the fight, but it could still hold on.

But when Raleigh appeared, he stomped Humphrey Tang hard on the deck, and the already overburdened deck began to disintegrate.

"This is serious, get on the warship right away."

Raleigh shouted loudly, holding up a finger.

"Naval Type 6 - Finger Pistol!"

The slender index finger pierced through Humphrey Tang's armor as easily as piercing a coconut, penetrating his brain. Humphrey Tang's body twitched a few times, then fell still.

Raleigh pulled his fingers off Humphrey Tang's skull, then grabbed a pirate, wiped his hands on his clothes, and threw him into the sea.

"Sir?"

The naval captain walked over and had just begun to greet him.

"We'll talk about other things later. Let's get the brothers out of here quickly."

Raleigh waved his hand; he had been pretending to know more than he actually did.

Through his Observation Haki, he could tell that the pirate ship was riddled with holes and would sink into the sea in just a few minutes.

If we don't leave now, we'll be left floating on the sea either walking on moonlight or clinging to a plank.

Raleigh casually picked up two wounded naval soldiers and flew back to his ship using Moonwalk.

The naval captain followed suit, carrying his soldiers and running towards his ship.

In less than ten minutes, the entire navy withdrew from the pirate ship and returned to their own warships. At this moment, Raleigh's warship finally arrived from the distant sea. Gion stood at the bow, watching Raleigh's figure.

"Well done. What's your name?"

Raleigh looked at the tall, slender naval captain in front of him and became more and more satisfied.

The main reason is that his moves were very fluid, clearly showing that he has been practicing this style of moves for many years.

Furthermore, he has mastered Armament Haki exceptionally well, which is quite puzzling.

Because there are very few people who can use Armament Haki.

Generally speaking, there are very few people in places like the Four Seas who know Armament Haki; if there are, they are people who have returned from the Grand Line.

It's rare to find someone born and raised with Armament Haki; most who learn it end up in the Grand Line.

The more Bessem Reginod looked at the officer in front of him, the more familiar he felt.

Suddenly, he slapped his forehead and shouted:

My God, you're Admiral Raleigh!

Raleigh was baffled by Bessiere Giord's idol-like demeanor.

He said with great excitement:

"Admiral Raleigh, my name is Bessma Regent. Although you have never met me, I have always regarded you as my idol."

Do you remember a few months ago, it was you who wiped out the North Sea mafia family? Although the Don Quixote family later took over our island, under your rules, the villagers are living better lives.

Bessiere Gigannod rambled on for a long time, then, seemingly out of nowhere, produced paper and pen, and looked intently at Raleigh, saying:

Admiral Raleigh, please sign your name for me. I'll show it to my family when I go home to visit them.

His words were filled with pride.

It was as if Raleigh signing his name would make him the envy of everyone in the village.

"Okay, okay, I'll sign it for you."

This was the first time Raleigh had met one of his little fans, so naturally he couldn't let him down. He took the paper and pen.

He carefully wrote down his name and stamped his personal seal on the paper.

Bessem Regionod carefully tucked the papers into his pocket and asked,

"Lord Raleigh, what are you doing here?"

Bessem Regionod asked with great curiosity,

In his mind, a big shot like Raleigh should stay at the North Sea naval base and never go out unless there was something really important to do.

After all, his predecessor, Lieutenant General Borsalino, did just the same thing.

The world situation is getting worse and worse lately, and the number of pirates in the North Blue is increasing day by day.

I can't rely solely on the Marines to fight those Devil Fruit users; they lack the strength to face danger.

Raleigh's words were half true and half false.

First, the situation in Beihai is indeed worse now than it was at the beginning.

Although Raleigh set a precedent for the Mafia to govern the islands, many islands in the North Sea are still not actually unified.

Furthermore, pirates aren't as weak as people imagine; in fact, most mafia members are the ones who end up at a disadvantage.

Because many pirates who go to sea are Devil Fruit users, unless their Devil Fruit is particularly weak, the Mafia families basically have no way to deal with them.

Therefore, Raleigh's capable subordinates were all dealing with those ability users in various parts of the North Sea.

Secondly, Raleigh was also working towards the unification of the North Sea.

Most of the places he's going to this time are not within the naval jurisdiction.

The North Sea is too vast, and many areas have extremely harsh environments and climates, so even world governments are unwilling to go there.

In reality, the North Sea region has a large number of non-member states.

After all, not every kingdom can afford the expensive Celestial Gold required by the World Government. Raleigh plans to take Gion and travel along the sea route.

During the journey, strengthen your bond with Gion and, incidentally, eliminate all the pirates you encounter along the way.

Nighttime, on a naval warship.

clang!

clang!

Sounds echoed across the deck as two figures flashed rapidly, sparks flying as they clashed.

Raleigh flashed and appeared in front of Bessma Reginod.

He suddenly threw out his right fist, but Bessem Regionod remained calm and composed!

His movements were incredibly agile and unpredictable, dodging Raleigh's attacks in an unexpected way.

His body suddenly plunged downwards.
