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

Facing the pirate captain's greatsword, Enel's expression turned somewhat solemn. His right hand crackled with electricity as he used lightning metallurgy to melt and reforge the golden trident into a shield!

The golden shield had just taken shape when a large cleaver covered in Armament Haki slashed down on it.

The powerful force knocked Enel back several steps, causing him to land heavily on the blood-soaked deck.

The pirate captain stared at Enel in front of him with bloodshot eyes.

He was panting heavily.

He simply couldn't quell his anger.

The acrid smell emanating from the surrounding pirate bodies filled his nostrils.

"Hehe, hahahahahaha!"

"You wiped out my bunch of idiots!"

"Then all the rewards are mine."

The pirate captain seemed to have thought of something and burst into laughter.

If there's another person sharing the money, he'll have one less share.

Furthermore, Enel's stamina is now nearing its limit. In the eyes of the pirate captain, this is already a reward in hand, and there's no need to be wary.

He simply didn't believe anyone could stop him.

"You brat, to thank you for eliminating so many of my men, I'll give you a quick death later."

After hearing the pirate captain's words, Enel got up from the ground and stared at the pirate captain in front of him with a bewildered expression.

Some people doubted his intelligence and couldn't help but say...

"Why do you think you can kill me?"

Upon hearing Enel's words, the pirate captain burst into laughter. "You? A little brat who's exhausted."

"If you had transformed into your elemental form and escaped from the beginning, I might not have been able to kill you."

"But now that you've exhausted your energy, what right do you have to say that to me?"

Enel's face was covered in black lines.

Sure enough, there aren't many normal, brainless people in One Piece.

Why do you think I came alone?

"Hahahaha, huh?"

The pirate captain, carrying a sword, walked along laughing, but suddenly stopped after hearing Enel's words.

Yeah, how could he think Enel came alone?

What if there are two or even more people?

The pirate captain panicked for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

"I don't care how many of you there are, as long as you can kill the brat in your hands and run away, even if Zefa comes, it won't do you any good."

Clap clap clap.

A burst of applause came from the Ark Maxim floating overhead.

The pirate captain looked up and saw an exceptionally handsome Marine vice admiral staring at him expressionlessly.

The pirate captain's pupils dilated instantly.

someone!

It's Vice Admiral Christine Rowley!

Thanks to the worldwide spread of his name during his promotion in military rank, most pirates and marines know Raleigh.

The pirate captain ran away without looking back the moment he recognized him.

He was confident that his excellent diving skills would allow him to evade the attack.

As long as it gets him to jump into the sea.

The pirate captain, with his swift movements, leaped over the railing and plunged headlong into the sea.

Hey?

The pirate captain looked at his current predicament with a bit of confusion.

He had already jumped off the ship and should theoretically have plunged into the sea.

However, in reality, a strong wind rose from the sea, counteracting the force of gravity that caused him to fall.

It even lifted his body off the surface of the sea.

The pirate captain's face instantly turned grim.

How could he not know what was going on!

Without a doubt, this Lieutenant General Christine Rory is a Devil Fruit user.

Furthermore, it is a top-tier fruit that allows one to control the wind.

The situation is worse now than before.

Just now on the deck, the pirate captain was still able to move a little.

Now that he's in the air, the wind is squeezing him so tightly that he can't make any movements at all.

Enel controlled the Ark Maxim's descent, then jumped onto the Ark Maxim's platform.

After putting the little boy down, he said to Raleigh;

"Brother Raleigh, I need to bring back Professor Zephyr's wife's body."

Raleigh sighed softly and nodded.

This was his fastest speed, but he was still half a step too late.

They managed to save only one person.

However, the perpetrators of the violence have not left, and Raleigh will definitely not let them go.

The pirate captain's body grew taller and taller until he was eye-to-eye with Raleigh on the Ark's Proverb.

"Navy, I surrender!"

"I surrender, you can't kill me!"

"Aren't you Zephyr's subordinate? If Zephyr knew you killed pirates, it would definitely ruin his reputation."

The pirate captain stared into Raleigh's emotionless eyes and hurriedly uttered everything he could to save his life.

He doesn't want to die.

He will do everything in his power to survive.

A mocking smile crept across Raleigh's lips:

"Death? No, I won't kill you."

The pirate captain's face lit up with a hint of joy, but then Raleigh's words plunged him into the deepest abyss.

"Death would be a complete relief for someone like you. I won't let you die so easily."

"I will show you what it means to be better off dead than alive."

For the pirate captain in front of him, killing him with a single blow would be far too lenient.

Not to mention that Zefa's wife died at his hands, all the innocent civilians in the port and the other people on the ship died tragically because of his orders.

Therefore, Raleigh would do everything he could to make things difficult for him. Raleigh's hands were clenched loosely, then clenched tightly.

'--!

The pirate captain's lower body suddenly exploded, leaving three bloody holes.

His three legs were crippled by Raleigh.

The intense pain caused his brain to freeze for a moment, and he involuntarily opened his mouth wide, about to howl in agony.

Raleigh waved.

A bloodstained cloth, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, was stuffed into the pirate captain's mouth.

"This is a proper appetizer."

Raleigh's cold gaze softened somewhat.

Then, he turned his head and saw the other pirates who hadn't yet escaped.

Before his arrival, Futsugi and Itsuki had already been notified.

Futsugi and Itsuki didn't actually come at all. After delivering the message to Raleigh, their journey was very slow, and they even had to stop midway due to ship damage.

"Enel, leave them all here."

"Okay, Brother Raleigh."

After Enel returned to the Ark, he restored his condition through the power storage device on the Ark.

In fact, as long as he still has the physical strength to create lightning, he can control the Ark Maxim to fire lightning with whoosh!

Bolts of lightning, as powerful as those that seemed to destroy the world, shot from the bottom of the Ark of Proverbs toward the pirate ships in the harbor.

boom!

Each attack can trigger a violent explosion. Pirate ships vary in size, but none of them have ever considered enemies coming from the sky.

Therefore, their cannons had no effect on the Ark Maxim controlled by Enel.

Even the pirates' muskets were useless due to the altitude.

"Damn it, come down here and fight me if you dare!"

"I can chop your head off with one stroke."

Several pirates shouted.

Instead of Enel's rebuttal, they were met with terrifying lightning bolts fired from the Ark Maxim.

boom!

The pirates who were just shouting a moment ago were instantly turned into a pile of charred corpses.

Immediately afterwards, the lightning bolt also activated the shells beside it.

"No!"

The pirates who witnessed all of this were filled with rage and fury.

They shouted "No!" as they leaped quickly into the sea, hoping to survive with the help of the current.

Boom-Boom-Boom!!

The loud explosion carried far across the port.

The immense force tore through the deck and the cabins, nearly cleaving the entire ship in half.

Seawater surged into the ship, as if an invisible hand was dragging it into an abyss. The pirates who had just escaped being killed by the first wave of explosions were now facing a second, even more dangerous, wave of turbulent currents.

Countless pirates had barely surfaced to catch their breath when they were dragged back into the abyss by one whirlpool after another.

"Help—help me! I don't want to die!"

A young pirate is clinging tightly to another pirate; they were once inseparable companions.

But now they are competitors on the path of life.

To prevent himself from being dragged in by the ocean current, another pirate drew a short sword from his waist.

Without any hesitation, he slashed at the young pirate's wrist.

"Go die if you want, don't drag me down with you!"

The young pirate screamed as he was drawn away by the distant whirlpool.

The surviving pirate's expression remained unchanged as he swam forward rapidly.

They swam out of the whirlpool and were lucky enough to find a broken piece of wood.

"Haha, I told you, I wouldn't die here."

While he and his companions were fighting, and while he was struggling to grab the plank, the situation on the field had already changed dramatically.

All the pirate ships, large and small, sank to the bottom of the sea under the attacks of Enel and Raleigh.

Broken planks and debris were floating everywhere in the harbor.

Enel took a deep breath and looked up at the sky.

Before anyone knew it, a thick layer of clouds had gathered in the sky.

The occasional lightning strikes within these clouds indicate their danger.

Brother Raleigh, your abilities are truly amazing.

Enel couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

He originally thought that the Hurricane Fruit was just like his Rumble-Rumble Fruit, simply for attacking.

However, Enel didn't expect that Raleigh would use the Hurricane Fruit in such creative ways that, in addition to conventional attack methods, he discovered that Raleigh could also use his ability to coordinate with the attacks of others.

For example, Raleigh can use the Hurricane Fruit to condense water vapor from distant clouds or the sea surface to form a lightning cloud.

Although it was of no use to Raleigh himself, Enel thrived in this environment, enabling him to unleash even more powerful techniques, such as the Tornado Ice Seal that Raleigh and Kuzan could perform together, which was developed during their battle against Shiki.

Although it was their first time working together, the power they gained was astonishing, and even the Golden Lion suffered greatly from this attack.

If the difference in strength between the two sides wasn't so great, Raleigh and Kuzan might have been able to take down Shiki directly.

Therefore, it can be deduced that Raleigh and Sakazuki can also team up, using wind to fan the flames. They can also team up with other Logia-type Devil Fruit users, except for Borsalino's Glint-Glint Fruit, "Two Hundred Million Volt Thunder God!"

Now that Raleigh has set up the stage, Enel naturally won't waste it.

He immediately activated his Thor form and floated in mid-air.

His eyes flashed with electricity, and his naturally powerful and terrifying Observation Haki allowed him to mark the locations of all the pirates present in just a few seconds.

With the power of thunder, sweep away all evil in the world!

At this moment, Enel was like a god sitting high in the heavens, his voice devoid of any emotion.

The thunderclouds overhead seemed to understand Enel's words; streaks of lightning peeked out from the thunderclouds and struck the sea in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, bolts of lightning behind Enel coalesced into the shape of a trident of lightning.

Under Enel's control, the attacks were precise, targeting the slightly stronger pirates. Boom! Boom! Boom!

The terrifying thunderstorm reached its peak at this moment, with countless bolts of lightning cleaving through the air and descending upon the sea.

The enormous noise drowned out all the pirates' resentful cries and screams.

All evil was utterly punished at this moment.

In less than half a minute, nearly 80% of the pirates in the arena had died.

Countless sea creatures and fish floated on the surface of the sea, densely covering the entire surface.

This horrific scene did not stop Enel's attack. His emotionless Thor's eyes continued to scan the battlefield below, like a god without feelings carrying out a mission to destroy the world!

A moment later, Enel finally stopped his relentless barrage of lightning and returned to the Ark Maxim, his face weak once again.

"Brother Raleigh, the mission is complete."

Enel lay sprawled on the deck, completely disregarding his image, and casually picked up a piece of meat, devouring it in large mouthfuls.

However, he hasn't learned how to return to his original life form yet, so eating meat now is just to fill his stomach.

Several question marks appeared above Raleigh's head.

It's hard to imagine that Enel could eat anything in such an environment.

Although Raleigh could eat on the battlefield, the smell of the corpses below, charred by lightning, was quite intoxicating.

Seeing Raleigh's disgusted expression, Enel smiled.

He put down the meat in his hand and controlled the Ark Proverb to drift away into the distance.

He was exhausted, that's why he didn't care about his image.

Unbeknownst to Enel, Raleigh was coldly staring at a certain spot on the island.

There is a mysterious figure there.

Although their faces cannot be seen with Observation Haki, and Raleigh doesn't recognize them at all.

But Raleigh could sense the deathly smell and eerie odor emanating from him.

Needless to say, Raleigh knew that it was someone from the CPO.

Only CPO individuals can have both scents simultaneously.

The deaths were because they had always played the role of assassins, and the eeriness was because once you joined the CPO, you would never see the light of day again. "It seems I was right. This matter is essentially a battle between the World Government and the Navy."

Raleigh thought to himself.

It's actually quite normal; once the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked.

The era of world dominance by Rocks has ended, and there are currently no forces on the seas worth engaging in major conflicts with.

In order to maintain its rule, the World Government had no choice but to take action against the navy.

Otherwise, the four veteran admirals of the Navy, along with a group of young vice admirals of comparable strength, would be enough to crush the pirates' power to the bottom.

The World Government's actions are not difficult to understand; what it has always sought is balance.

If the navy is strong, suppress the navy; if the navy is weak, suppress the pirates!
