One Piece: Starting with Breathing Techniques

"The good news is that Kiloboy is very strong and successfully survived the surgery; he is no longer in danger."

"The bad news is..."

Ivankov sighed. "His injuries are the most severe I've ever seen. It will probably take him some time to recover."

"This time could be a while, or it could be..."

"several years!"

Upon hearing this, Long broke out in a cold sweat, his face showing some surprise.

"Is that so?"

"But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, they managed to beat Borsalino to this state..."

Recalling Kizaru's strength, Ryu couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

Although he didn't have much contact with Kizaru, that guy was known as a monster alongside Sakazuki in the first Marines, and he was also a Logia-type Devil Fruit user with the Glint-Glint Fruit.

Undoubtedly, Kizaru will become a top-tier combatant in the Navy in the future, and it won't be long before he becomes a Navy Admiral.

And yet this terrifyingly powerful naval officer was beaten into the same state by Kiro, a boy who was only a teenager!

Just now, Kizaru was not only in a sorry state, covered with crisscrossing sword wounds, but also had two hideous giant wounds crisscrossing his chest.

If it weren't for the extraordinary escape ability granted by the Glint-Glint Fruit, it's highly likely that the future Marine Admiral, who was destined for greatness, would have perished here, at the hands of Kiro!

"Ivankov, if I remember correctly, Kilo only entered the Grand Line not long ago, right?"

Ivankov nodded, a look of shock in his eyes. "Yes, he's still a newcomer with a bounty of 130 million."

Dragon scoffed, "One hundred and thirty million? Are you sure the Navy isn't mistaken?"

Although Kilo was in the West Sea at the time, he also defeated a naval vice admiral.

However, even among vice admirals in the navy, there are differences in rank!

Even a powerful Marine Vice Admiral like Garp could hold his own against top-tier fighters like the Pirate King Roger and the villain Rocks.

However, a naval vice admiral like Bastet, who was just taking advantage of the chaos, only managed to be kicked to death by Sabo, who was making his first appearance, without any chance to fight back!

He is a disgrace to the lieutenant general!

As for Kizaru, he is undoubtedly an absolute elite among vice admirals, second only to Garp.

Although Onigumo is equally powerful, he would probably be no match for Kizaru in actual combat.

Kiro, who could defeat Kizaru, could probably kill Onigumo in a single turn.

This kind of strength...

A hint of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and awe) flashed in Long's eyes. "These young people nowadays are all monsters!"

The Revolutionary Army's ships have set sail for their headquarters, Baltimore, the Island of White Earth.

They planned to take Kiro back for treatment.

"But I wonder where that little girl Robin is?"

"Isn't she with Kiro?"

Dragon was having a headache, but then he saw Ivankov's expression suddenly change as he gazed at the distant sea.

"Wait, Dragon, isn't that Kiro Boy's ship?"

"Robin should be up there!"

Long was taken aback and went forward to check the situation. Sure enough, he saw a medium-sized sailboat lingering on the distant sea.

According to intelligence obtained by the Revolutionary Army, this is the ship that Kilo took when he set sail, the Ryuga!

"I was having a headache trying to find Robin, but I didn't expect to run into her by chance."

"Let's move the boat closer!"

……

The atmosphere on the Liuhua was exceptionally oppressive.

Saul and Robin were on the deck, glancing at Vera Island from time to time, clearly somewhat worried.

At this point, Capone Bege was wrapped up in bandages like a dumpling, with only his eyes showing.

Despite his younger brother's strong dissuasion, he still came to the deck despite his injuries and silently stared at Vila Island.

"Is the battle over?" Robin asked softly.

About ten minutes ago, the terrifying battle in the center of Vera Island had come to an end, and there were no more golden flashes or giant sword auras.

However, they did not see Kiro or Kizaru at the dock.

The warship was also anchored far out at sea, and they couldn't see what was happening on it.

This completely unknown situation left the people on the Ryuga somewhat at a loss.

"Should we go back right now and find Kiro?" Robin's face was pale, full of worry for Kiro.

"No, if the Navy wins, going back now would be like walking into a trap." Capone Bege's tone contained a hint of anxiety that was not present in his usual tone, but he still maintained a calm decision-making style.

"So we're just going to sit here and wait? We can't just watch Kiro fall into the hands of the Navy, can we?!" Robin rarely spoke up to argue, her tone somewhat indignant.

Capone Bege shook his head. "Robin, you've got one thing wrong."

"On the entire ship, probably no one wants Kilo to be safe more than I do!"

He slammed his hand on the deck, his tone somewhat agitated.

"I've staked everything on him!"

"Besides..."

He took a deep breath, lit a cigar, and put it in his mouth. "Don't forget, Kiro ordered us to wait for him on the ship, and the captain's orders are absolute."

"If Kilo really gets captured by the Navy..."

A resolute glint flashed in Capone Bege's eyes. "When the time comes, I will do anything to save him, even if it means being shattered to pieces, even if it means facing certain death!"

Suddenly, a deep voice rang out from the stern, "Hey, are all young people these days so pessimistic?"

"They're either fighting to the death or trying to take someone down with them. There's just no way to deal with you guys."

Everyone was shocked and quickly turned to look at the source of the sound.

But then a mysterious figure wearing a dark green cloak appeared and boarded the deck of the Liuhua.

"Who are you? Are you from the Navy?" Capone Bege was on high alert, his right hand already extended from the cannon barrel, aiming directly at the inexplicably appearing dragon.

Long chuckled softly, his tone somewhat complicated, "The Navy... I used to be one."

Pursuers?!

Capone Bege's expression turned serious. He was about to fire at the dragon when Saul stopped him.

Sauro looked somewhat surprised, carefully examining the dragon's appearance, and spoke with some uncertainty:

"Wait, who are you...?"

"That's right, it's been a long time, Saul!"

Dragon lifted his hood, revealing a face etched with tattoos.

Everyone gasped, their faces filled with disbelief and astonishment.

Kiro had previously instructed them that their goal for this trip was to find the newly formed revolutionary army.

As for Dragon, the leader of the revolutionary army, his face was already imprinted in everyone's minds.

Sauro's eyes lit up with excitement, then he seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly exclaimed, "Wait, a dragon!"

"Kiro is fighting Kizaru on the island, and his fate is still unknown!"

"You can..."

Before he could finish speaking, Long raised his hand to interrupt, "I know all of this."

"To be honest, I've already rescued Kiro, and he's on my ship now!"

The Savior King, Monkey D. Dragon, makes his grand entrance!
