The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

Seeing that Garp and Kuzan still intended to stop them, some of the marines couldn't hold back any longer.

"Admiral Garp! Admiral Kuzan! Why are you helping pirates?! Did our comrades die in vain?"

"A life for a life, and no fishman with blood on his hands will live!" Garp said grimly.

If the marines' lives hadn't been harmed, he could have treated it as a game, but now that there were casualties, he was quite annoyed.

"But that's strange. According to my observation with Observation Haki, these fish-men who were frozen in ice are not dead!"

Hancock, who had been standing next to Gion, suddenly spoke up and kicked out with lightning speed.

The nearest piece of ice was kicked and shattered, sending the fishman inside flying out. He coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"What, why aren't you killing him yet?"

Hancock's words reminded the marines who were stunned by the scene.

The marines snapped out of their daze, grabbed their swords, and, filled with hatred, killed the fish-man before them.

They only breathed a sigh of relief after each of them had stabbed the fishman.

Once they came to their senses, they all looked at Kuzan with suspicion.

In the past, they wouldn't have thought much of it, but Kuzan and Garp have been doing such a mess lately.

"Ugh!"

Kuzan sighed, his face slightly bitter.

He may have subconsciously refrained from ending the lives of the fish-men, but that doesn't mean he truly didn't care about the lives of the marines.

But because of what happened before, he knew he had to take the blame.

Stab it!

The surrounding ice, under his control, shattered into ice shards.

None of the fish-men who emerged from the water survived.

As for the fish-men who were intimidated by Gion before even emerging from the sea and then frozen by him, he didn't intend to take their lives unless others mentioned it.

After all, those merfolk didn't do anything.

Kuzan believed that not all fish-men in the Sun Pirates were as malicious as these.

"What beautiful ice flowers!"

Hancock chuckled with amusement. The Den Den Mushi (snail phone) on her collar, which combined video and live streaming capabilities, recorded everything.

Gion silently watched all of this, shook her head, then spread her bat wings and charged towards the Sun Pirates, who had also stopped due to unforeseen circumstances.

At this moment, she couldn't help but think of a question that Luther had raised back then.

Is justice delayed still justice?

Gion took in the suspicious looks from the marines and felt she had found her answer.

Justice delayed is justice denied!

People like Kuzan and Garp, who hesitate even to uphold justice, are destined to cause more tragedies and are destined to be abandoned by this realistic world.

Wanting so-called justice without getting your hands dirty? There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Gion's departure quickly attracted everyone's attention.

Looking in the direction she left, most people guessed what had happened.

What Hancock found rather interesting was that most of the Marines surrounded Garp and Kuzan, ready to intervene at any moment if the two made a move.

Clearly, after Gion arrived, all the marines chose to believe Gion rather than their direct superior.

At least, none of the marines on this ship were willing to believe Garp and his companion.

"All sailors obey orders!"

A deep, resonant voice rang out from the Den Den Mushi on Hancock's collar.

Most of the marines recognized the voice and were startled, looking at Hancock.

"I, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, hereby issue the wartime order! The supreme commander of this campaign is now CP0's 'Momosasa' Gion. Garp and Kuzan, in particular, are to unconditionally obey all orders from her and her adjutant Hancock!"

Inside Don Quixote Palace, Sengoku stared intently at the scene on the ship.

Keep in mind that this was a live broadcast with on-site recording.

If Garp does something outrageous, even he might not be able to protect them.

His words at this moment were meant to give Garp a heads-up and, incidentally, to give them a way out.

Upon hearing the news from Sengoku, most of the marines showed delight.

For a moment, the tense atmosphere eased considerably.

"Major General Kuzan, right!"

Upon hearing Sengoku's order, Hancock's smile deepened as she looked at Kuzan beside her.

"what's up?"

Kuzan looked at her expressionlessly. Being supported by someone from a certain class still made him feel uncomfortable.

He just couldn't understand why the other party, who was also a slave, would work so hard for that person.

"Freeze the sea and seal off the Sun Pirates' ships! We can't let those fishmen escape!"

Hancock glanced at the scene not far away, where Gion was already wreaking havoc on the ship.

However, the speed wasn't particularly fast, perhaps because Tiger was blocking her way, but more likely because Gion wasn't using her full strength.

After all, Luther had promised Queen Otohime that he would spare the lives of those innocent fish-men.

However, there are still some rules to follow when it comes to how to place them.

It's obviously not feasible to openly expose them like Kuzan does. If these fishmen cause trouble in the future, someone will have to take the blame.

"it is good!"

Kuzan nodded slightly, then leaped off the ship and charged towards the Sun Pirates.

His idea was simple: save as many people as possible without revealing himself.

As for military rank and punishment, those were no longer within his consideration.

Someone did what he had never dared to do before; he simply couldn't bear to watch such a hero perish.

"Mr. Garp, I wonder if what I did today was cool enough compared to your refusal to be promoted to admiral!"

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!

The ice layer spread continuously from his hands toward the Sun Pirates.

In the blink of an eye, the Sun Pirates were torn in two by the ice, and a large number of fishmen screamed as they fell into the sea.

After the fishmen fell into the sea, Kuzan shouted:

"ICE AGE!!!"

His strongest move to date, Ice Age, was activated, and in an instant, ice covered everything in front of him.

The surrounding area, spanning hundreds of meters, was entirely covered by a thick layer of ice.

As the center of the battle, Tiger and Gion would naturally be affected by this attack.

But Gion was completely different from Hancock, who was blocked by Kuzan at the time. She chuckled and held the Kingpira across her chest.

Sizzle!!

In an instant, crimson lightning surged on the golden garland.

With Luther, a master of Conqueror's Haki, around, two years would be enough for her to grasp the essence of Conqueror's Haki entangling.

Although it can't be used too many times, one hit is enough if you just want to kill Tiger!

"Peach Dance - Entangling Luo!"

Chapter 210 One Strike, Slicing Through the Sea

"Peach Dance - Entangling Luo!"

A peach-gold blade of light slashed out from Gion's Kinbira.

In an instant, all colors fled this world, the sky and earth turned gray, leaving only that one peach-gold slash that seemed to flash like divine light and traversed the heavens and earth.

This strike, like a thunderbolt descending upon the world, like a tornado turning the sky, landed squarely on Tiger's body with unstoppable force.

He possesses the extraordinary physique of a fish-man.

He used all his strength in Fishman Karate to defend to the extreme.

However, when the golden blade light poured down like a storm, all defenses seemed so futile and powerless.

Under the slash, Tiger's body was easily pierced by the sharp blade. His tough skin, bones, and internal organs were torn apart as if they were made of paper.

At that moment, his life was extinguished under the golden blade's edge; between life and death, there was only a thin line.

However, killing Tiger was not the end of this strike.

The power of the strike did not dissipate; instead, it continued to extend backward, like a long dragon soaring into the sky, vast and mighty.

The already frozen sea shattered under the force of the strike, and the sea churned to both sides, forming a raging torrent, leaving only a deep chasm in the center.

After doing all this, Gion slowly sheathed her sword and gently closed her eyes.

This was the first time she had used Conqueror's Haki Entanglement against an enemy after mastering it.

The effect was enough to satisfy her.

In comparison, it is by no means weaker than the slash that the Red Earl once delivered.

But at this moment, she did not reach her own end like the Red Earl.

In the future, she will surpass the Red Earl, surpass any swordsman, and make the title of the world's greatest swordsman truly deserved.

Gion took a deep breath, spread her bat wings, and left the pirate ship without looking back.

The rest will naturally be handled by the navy; she won't need to put in much effort.
