My heart is beating.

My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of my chest.

……

"Colonel Allen, what are you thinking? Why don't you thank the master for his kindness?"

"For someone as lowly as you to serve the world's nobility is the greatest fortune of your life!"

The cold voice of the man in the white suit rang in my ears.

Clang——

Allen gripped the hilt of the knife.

In that instant, he thought of many things.

……

……

Am I a good person?

No, I've killed many people who didn't deserve to die; I'm not merciful.

In order to get a promotion, I repeatedly sabotaged Dorl's career, showing absolutely no integrity.

I must admit, I am a shameless person with no bottom line.

I could stand by and watch Ginny and her daughter die without offering any help.

Their deaths were not caused by me, so I can't possibly feel guilty.

but……

To kill a child in front of a mother, a child she had risked everything to protect...

The Celestial Dragons' orders and the life of an infant were weighed together.

……

……

In comparison, it seems easier to attack the Celestial Dragons!

I'm not a good person.

But it wasn't that bad!

-

Allen made a decision.

You only have one chance to launch a sneak attack!

I can't just kill Lothar; I'm no match for him. If I do, he'll kill me on the spot.

If I injure Rosolo, the only option for Sunflower Face is to protect and heal the Celestial Dragons, not to hunt me down.

This is the only way out.

……

His gaze swept over the "marine soldiers" who had boarded the ship with him.

Fortunately, anticipating the possibility that he might be unable to resist taking action, he selected some prisoners to play the role of the navy.

It doesn't matter if these people are killed by the Celestial Dragons in a fit of rage.

Unfortunately, Dol and the others can only become thieves with me. As for Smoker...

Aokiji should be able to save him.

……

"Ah...it's truly an honor..."

Is my short naval career coming to an end...? I'm still quite reluctant to part with that salary.

Swah——

Allen drew his sword forward, the tip radiating a chilling aura, aiming at Ginny's small boat in the distance.

Bang!

He leaped up using the footboard, his wrist gripping the knife twitched, waiting to gather momentum before twisting the blade to launch a counterattack on Losolo on the ship.

He concealed his intention to attack very well; even with Chrysanthemum Face's Observation Haki, he didn't detect it.

Perhaps... he didn't expect anyone to dare to attack a Celestial Dragon, so he didn't use his Observation Haki.

A crimson glint flashed between the black hairs, and the phantom of a white wolf materialized.

White Wolf Kills - Swallow —

-

-

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!

Suddenly, the calm sea began to churn violently without warning, as if stirred by an invisible hand, and the seawater boiled!

Allen stopped abruptly and retreated to the deck.

Immediately afterwards, a huge black shadow rose rapidly from the seabed.

The speed was so fast that the water flow it created formed a huge whirlpool.

A creature several times larger than a magnificent ship appeared, blotting out the sky!

……

"What...what is that thing!?"

A slave pointed at the sea in terror, his voice trembling, and the fruit platter he had prepared for the Celestial Dragons fell onto the deck.

I've seen things more clearly now.

It has a robust, island-like body, rough skin covered with barnacles and seaweed, and exudes an ancient and mysterious aura.

On the enormous head, a pair of eyes gleamed with a cold and ferocious light, like two blood moons radiating a chilling glow.

Its mouth was wide open, revealing sharp, jagged fangs, each as thick as a giant stone pillar, seemingly capable of easily crushing anything in its way.

The most powerful species in the ocean, known as the king of the sea...

Sea Kings!!

……

"Wow...it's huge! How can there be such a huge sea king here, so far from the calm zone?!"

Losolo forced himself to remain calm; he had more common sense than his foolish kind.

This sea monster's head alone is nearly 100 meters long. Normally, sea monsters of this size would only live in calm zones and deep-sea areas.

Of course, nothing is absolute; it's not to say that there aren't giant sea monsters outside of the doldrums.

……

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!

When bullets hit the skin of a sea king, it's like a mosquito bite, leaving no mark at all.

Even if it is hit by a ship's shell, it will only create a cloud of smoke and will not cause any real damage.

The sea kings' cold, merciless gazes seemed to mock the weakness of these tiny creatures.

In its eyes, Celestial Dragons and ordinary people, and even this ship, are no different.

It's just food.

……

"Mere sea kings are nothing compared to the descendants of the great Creator..."

"Maintain reverence!!"

"brute!!"

tumultuous!!!

The man in the white suit shouted coldly, his legs slightly bent, and the deck beneath his feet instantly cracked open.

Its body leaped out of the ship's side like a cannonball, leaving a trail of white steam in the air.

Its towering body leaped to the front of the Sea King's head, Armament Haki covering its right arm, giving its skin a black metallic sheen.

Fist raised high above the head.

All the power and domineering aura of the body are concentrated in one point...

……

"Bang------"

! !

A deafening roar!!

The fist pierced through the sea king's skull, exploding into a huge cloud of blood mist!

Blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the sea red.

The sea monster's body convulsed violently, its massive tail fin thrashing wildly across the surface of the sea, creating waves that even startled seabirds in the distance, causing them to scatter and flee.

……

Finally, the enormous creature gradually slowed its movements, the ferocity in its eyes faded, and it slowly descended like a sunken island.

Sold out instantly.

A sell-out in seconds, no doubt about it!

……

thump—

The man in the white suit landed back on the deck and bowed ninety degrees to Losolo's side: "I'm sorry to have startled you, Saint Losolo."

Losolo let out a long sigh and said in a nonchalant tone, "Next time, we should have discovered it earlier and killed it before anything happened!"

"Yes, sir! This is my dereliction of duty!"

……

Allen frowned slightly.

The fighting prowess this guy has displayed may surpass that of an average lieutenant general.

If I had made that move just now...

Ordinary Celestial Dragons shouldn't have such strong bodyguards. Is this Rosolo some kind of special person?

Could he be the son of the Five Elders?

……

……

With the storm subsiding, this sudden turn of events left them unable to keep an eye on Ginny's boat.

It is highly likely that the small boat has already been wrecked in the storm.

Losolo was somewhat exasperated.

"Go find her! She's not that easy to kill!!"

"I want her to die in despair before my eyes! This is a work of art! How can she die so easily!"

"How dare she die without my permission?!"

……

After a moment, Losolo's tone softened as he looked at Allen.

"Mr. Allen, even if it's a corpse, I need to see Ginny. Can you help me find her?"

……

"certainly."

"I will immediately lead a search operation!" Allen bowed his head to accept the order and led his men away in a small boat.

……

……

"Sir... that guy isn't a loyal dog."

The man in the white suit with the chrysanthemum-shaped face watched Allen's departing figure, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

Losolo gave him a cold glance, a smirk playing on his lips: "Do you know how many slaves I've played to death?"

"Whether it's genuine reverence or not, I know far more than you do..."

The smile under the glass cover gradually disappeared.

"I just love arrogant and beautiful guys like that."

"Step by step, I shattered his pride, making him willingly and humbly grovel at my feet..."

"That's more interesting!"
