One Piece: Starting from Awakening the Cosmo at Marineford

Aaron boarded the ship and a dozen pirates had already surrounded him on the deck.

"A Marine, coming alone? Isn't that just suicide?"

"Hey, we didn't get enough killing the other day. Let's go over there and slaughter all the marines on that warship!"

Two gunshots rang out, and two pirates fell to the ground.

"Senior Aaron, let me help you!"

The lark landed on the deck, gun barrels still emitting smoke.

After two months of battling pirates in Sabaody Archipelago, her personality underwent a dramatic change. Now, she will not hesitate to shoot pirates, especially those who point their weapons at Aaron.

The remaining dozen or so pirates showed no grief or fear for their fallen comrade; instead, they began to make fun of him.

"Oh, another one, and it's a little girl!"

"Hey, little girl, are you an adult yet?"

"It seems that Mao..."

The pirate stopped mid-sentence, his throat moving but unable to move.

A finger had already pierced his Adam's apple and was lodged in his throat.

Aaron said coldly, "In your next life, watch your mouth."

Aaron's move truly frightened the dozen or so pirates.

"It's the Six Forms, Finger Pistol!"

"And then there's the shaving, but why is his movement so fast? There wasn't even a hint of him using his skill!"

Aaron flicked the blood off his fingers and said calmly, "It's your turn next."

From behind, Lark said, "Senior Aaron, half of these dozen or so are escaped convicts from Impel Down."

"Oh?" Aaron chuckled. "What a coincidence. I didn't expect such an unexpected gain."

Pirates who escape from Impel Down will choose to band together or rely on a powerful ally.

Bondi Wald is one of the best among them; he can easily recruit a lot of followers just by showing his strength.

"Hmph, Marine kid, don't underestimate us!"

"Let's all charge in and take them down!"

"We need to hurry! If we're too slow and Captain Bondiwald finds out, we're all dead!"

"I'll go deal with that woman!"

More than a dozen pirates surrounded them: "Kill!"

Hibari quickly warned, "Senior Aaron, be careful!"

Aaron said, "Skylark, step back a little."

"oh!"

Hibari obediently took a few steps back, looked at the pirates' positions, raised his gun, and was ready to fire at any moment.

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry."

Aaron gave a soft shout: "Phoenix Blazing Burst!"

A ball of flame erupted from his body, instantly expanding into a fire phoenix with a wingspan of over ten meters. It pounced forward fiercely, instantly igniting the bodies of more than ten pirates.

"what!"

Screams rang out as the pirates, engulfed in flames, writhed and rolled wildly in agony, unable to extinguish the flames.

More than a dozen charred corpses lay on the deck, making a "thump-thump" sound.

Flames then spread across the deck.

Two pirates who were a little slower but still alive swallowed hard, and their knives clattered to the ground.

"I...I didn't escape from Impel Down...Spare me...Please!"

"I'm not a fugitive, I'm just an ordinary pirate... Please!"

The two pirates lay prostrate, begging for mercy.

Aaron said, "I don't care if you escaped from Impel Down or not. If you're a pirate, you have to die."

"what?"

The other pirate, quick-witted as ever, stopped begging for mercy and instead tried to prove his worth: "Don't kill me! I... I can be your underling, no, your slave!"

Aaron said, "I'm a Marine. I don't need slaves. And with your meager courage and strength, you're not qualified to be my underling."

The two pirates were terrified, tears streaming down their faces: "No! I'm so handsome, why are you killing me?!"

"I'm quitting being a pirate! Let me go! I want to go home!"

"You're crying so horribly, and so loudly too."

With two "pfft" sounds, Aaron had already killed them with his fingers.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Yun Que sighed, "Sigh, in the next life, be a good person."

Aaron said, "Skylark, Bondi Wald is very strong. Stay with me and don't get separated. Otherwise, I won't be able to protect you."

"Hmm!" Only when facing Aaron did Hibari show the shyness of a young girl.

She was overjoyed when she heard Aaron say he would "protect" her.

"Senior Aaron, I will definitely follow you closely!"

"Let's go!" Aaron went through a door.

The passageway inside was neither narrow nor dark.

The two walked briskly forward, casually dealing with any small fry they encountered.

Aaron was in front, and Lark was right behind him, less than a meter apart.

Even so, an accident still occurred.

Aaron heard a sudden noise behind him and turned around to find the passage blocked by a square stone that had suddenly appeared.

"Hibari? Can you hear me?"

Aaron waited a few seconds but heard no response.

Aaron sighed, placed his right palm on the stone, and his palm began to vibrate.

"Kid, turn around. I don't want to kill you from behind."

Aaron sighed, turned around, and saw a man carrying a large cube-shaped hammer. He had two braids on his head, and the ends of the braids were also two cubes.

"I am Guyram, a Paramecia-type Cube-Cube Fruit user, which allows me to turn any object into a cube."

Aaron said, "So what if I figured it out?"

"Die, kid!" Guyram raised his hands to his chest.

A transparent yet visible air cube appeared between his hands.

"Air, Rubik's Cube!"

The cubic mass of air drifted forward and began to expand.

"burst!"

The air exploded instantly, and a strong wind swept in.

This ability is somewhat similar to the bear paw impact of the Bear Paw Fruit, but its power is far inferior.

Aaron snorted and lightly clapped his right hand forward: "Air Vibration!"

The air in the entire passage seemed to be suddenly pushed aside, compressed, and then released simultaneously.

With a muffled thud, dust fell from all sides of the passageway, and fine cracks appeared on the walls, floor, and ceiling, spreading outwards.

Guyram's chest was violently impacted by the air wall, causing his internal organs to tremble violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "Is this the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit? This is impossible! Impossible!"

Aaron said, "You do have some discernment. But how did you figure it out?"

Guyram, panting heavily, said, "When I was young, I fought the Whitebeard Pirates a few times. But your fighting style is completely different from theirs."

Aaron said, "The ability is still the same ability; the key is how you use it."

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit is so powerful that a single use of its energy is enough to destroy an island.

In the cramped space of the ship, Aaron certainly didn't dare to unleash his full power.

Both I and Lark are on the boat. If we accidentally sink it, it will be a real problem.

Therefore, he only used his palm to "slightly" activate his ability, slapping the air in front of him and causing a shock, which was enough to make Guyram vomit blood.

Just like his previous finger-flicking technique to create wind, Aaron called this "micro-management".
