"Oh! You're desperate now, aren't you?" Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but start showing off.

Petitschius glared at Natsuki Subaru through gritted teeth.

Instantly, countless unseen hands reached out to the crowd.

But in that instant, the old swordsman swung his sword and cut Petitchius in half at the waist.

This illustrates the difference in strength between the two sides.

It's not something that can be remedied with petty tricks.

Having confirmed that the other party was completely dead, the old man Sword Demon breathed a slight sigh of relief; the mission was simpler than he had imagined.

At this moment, Yamabuki Hanajin also arrived, but she did not look at Petitchius's corpse, but instead focused her gaze on Natsuki Subaru.

Petritchius can transfer his consciousness into the bodies of other believers, and coincidentally, Subaru Natsuki fits this condition perfectly.

When Natsuki Subaru looked up again, his eyes had become extremely crazed.

"The brain is shaking!"

As he spoke, he bent his neck at a ninety-degree angle.

Everyone was shocked; they never expected this.

No matter what, they were close friends who fought side by side, and these knights could not bring themselves to turn their swords against their friends.

Natsuki Subaru and Petitchius were locked in a constant internal struggle, vying for control of their bodies.

"Kill me quickly! That's the only way! Yamabuki!" Natsuki Subaru shouted.

I can revert to a previous state after death, so it doesn't matter if I die.

But Yamabuki Hanajin made a very strange gesture.

“I already told you I’ve read the script. To tell you the truth, this was all part of my plan. Petitschius, kneel down.” A soft light appeared in Yamabuki Hanako’s hands.

ball.

"I'm going to count down from now on. I'll give you three seconds to repent."

The light illuminated the darkness, and both Sword Demon and Julius stood in front of Yamabuki Hanajin.

A magician's greatest fear is being interrupted when casting a spell.

"You can't kill me, do you want to kill this boy too?" Petritchius roared.

He could sense the powerful magical energy emanating from the other party.

"Three seconds are up! Go to hell and repent! Fairy Law, activate!"

A huge golden magic circle appeared in the sky.

The Fairy's Law: Anyone deemed an enemy in one's heart will be judged.

This is a very unpredictable spell; one wrong move and it could easily go wrong.

Take, for example, the still-immature Laxus.

If Yamabuki Hanaren betrays Petruccius and turns him into an enemy, Fairy Light will directly judge his soul, while Natsuki Subaru will not be punished.

A huge flash of light.

When Natsuki Subaru opened his eyes again, he found that he had returned to normal.

"Such powerful magic, why didn't you use it sooner?" Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but exclaim.

"This magic consumes life force, and the more people being judged, the more life force is consumed. That last attack might shorten my lifespan by several years, so don't get away with it."

"You're still acting innocent." Yamabuki Hanajin patted his face.

All the members of the Witch Cult have been eliminated, and the only survivor is a spy.

Yurius was prepared to ask more questions about the Witch Cult, after all, such an unstable religion was a huge hidden danger to the development of the empire.

They then asked them a chilling question.

A bomb has been planted under Emilia's carriage, and it will explode soon.

Upon hearing this news, Natsuki Subaru was completely devastated.

With a wave of her hand, Yamabuki Hanajin summoned the earth dragon she had been riding and rode it at top speed to catch up with the carriage.

"Wait for me!" Natsuki Subaru shouted.

Yamabuki Hanajin rode ahead in a cloud of dust, but suddenly, she realized something very important: her time was running out. 13xx

It will be midnight in less than ten minutes, at which point I will be forcibly teleported away.

"Seriously, how did all these things end up together?" Yamabuki Hanajin caught up with the carriage. Emilia was quite happy to see Yamabuki Hanajin, but then Yamabuki Hanajin flipped open the carriage and found a bomb inside.

"This is....

Judging from the temperature of the bomb, it's about to explode.

"Everyone, come closer to me!" Yamabuki Hanako grabbed her arm and threw the bomb far away.

"No, it's such a short distance..." Emilia exclaimed in alarm. The car was full of children; how could she let herself implicate them?

The bomb was already emitting a faint glow.

Hana grabbed Emilia's hand: "Lend me some magic power. I'm a little short on magic power after casting two super spells in a row!"

"Mmm." Emilia held Yamabuki Hanajin's hand tightly.

The next second, the bomb exploded.

"Absolute Defense, Fairy Ball!"

The explosion silenced the entire area, leveling everything within a radius of several hundred meters!

But when Emilia struggled to open her eyes, she found that Yamabuki Hanajin had disappeared, and she and her children were perfectly protected by the Fairy Orb.

“She…she’s gone again!” Emilia murmured to herself.

Chapter 1004 (Main Text 1007) Today I am... Sakazuki?

A new day begins in the world of One Piece.

Two years have passed since the Marineford War, but the world has not calmed down because of it; instead, turmoil has swept across the globe.

The revolutionary army's power continued to grow, and its influence rivaled that of the world government.

Although Whitebeard survived the Marineford War two years ago, his body has deteriorated significantly after two years of ravages.

Because of the Marineford War, the Blackbeard Pirates were completely wiped out, becoming a topic of conversation and a laughing stock for everyone.

But after the Marineford War, a great battle of the century broke out in Punk Hazard.

That was the struggle for the position of naval commander-in-chief.

The two fighters were Akainu and Aokiji.

The two engaged in a ten-day, ten-night battle in Punk Hazard.

This great battle was devastating, permanently altering the terrain of Punk Hazard, turning one half into a raging inferno and the other into a frozen wasteland.

In the end, Aokiji was defeated, and Akainu, seeing Aokiji lying on the ground, felt compassion and did not kill him.

After this great battle, Aokiji left the Navy and began to wander the seas alone.

After the Marineford War, the Five Elders began their purge of Gecko Moria. Having lost to Luffy, Moria was no longer deemed worthy of being one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Doflamingo led...

Watch as the pacifists relentlessly pursue Gecko Moria, only to be rescued at the last moment.

With a vacancy arising in the position of Shichibukai, Law seized the opportunity to take over, using the hearts of one hundred pirates as a pledge of allegiance to successfully become one of the Shichibukai.

Two years later, Smoker was promoted to vice admiral and became the commander of Navy Branch G5.

It was nighttime, and Smoker was aboard a warship preparing to head to Punk Hazard.

This is an island full of legends.

Initially, Punk Hazard was one of Vegapunk's experimental bases, but a poison gas leak four years ago caused this once lush island to be eroded by the gas, leaving it barren.

No grass grows there.

All the prisoners held there also died.

From that point on, the World Government issued an order that neither pirates nor World Government personnel were allowed to approach Punk Hazard.

But Smoker is now secretly leading a group to approach Punk Hazard.

In recent years, children have frequently gone missing in this area, and at first, people thought it was just an accident.

But this sea area is clearly not that dangerous, so how come so many accidents have occurred?

Smoker sensed something was wrong.

Moreover, every missing person case was ultimately covered up as an accident. One or two cases could be considered accidents, but over two years, dozens, even hundreds, of children went missing in these waters. How could all of that be possible?

Were they all accidents? There's only one truth: there's a pirate traitor within Navy Branch G5.

He was determined to land on the island and find out what secrets it held.

At that moment, the gears of fate began to turn.

After two years of training, Luffy and his crew reunited and, after passing Fishman Island, their first stop was Punk Hazard.

They had no interest in the blazing island, but then they received a phone call from someone who said they were freezing to death.

Looking at the island engulfed in flames, the group couldn't understand how anyone could freeze to death on such an island.

Luffy impulsively decided to go up and take a look.

Since the captain had made his decision, the others couldn't say much and could only follow along with their captain's antics.

Nothing happened on the first night.

Time comes the next day.

Luffy and his crew landed on the island. Usopp, Robin, Zoro, and Luffy were the four of them who went to the island to take a look.

The others remained on board and waited for orders.

However, something very unusual happened to Smoker.

Smoker was sleeping in his own bed when he woke up to find a strong smell of cigars in his house.

He was a heavy smoker himself, so he couldn't possibly be mistaken; it was definitely his cigarette.

Could those soapwort kids have sneaked into my room while I was asleep and stolen my cigarettes?

Smoker angrily stood up from his bed, but when he saw the man facing the sea smoking a cigar, his anger immediately melted away.

"I... Holy crap... How did you get here?" Smoker looked at the man in front of him with a look of horror.

This man should absolutely not be here.

Smoker even thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes hard, only to find that he wasn't mistaken; the man was indeed standing right in front of him.

"Marshal Sakazuki! Why are you on my ship? Shouldn't you be at Naval Headquarters? And how can you, as a marshal, abandon your post? Before you came here..."

"Why didn't you greet me? What's going on? You need to explain this to me. While you were gone, the whole Marine Headquarters must have been in an uproar!" Smoker looked at the person in front of him with a horrified expression.

Marshal.

The admiral in front of me took off his hat, and a single tuft of hair on his head suddenly stood up.

"Huh???" Smoker was a little confused.

That tuft that was just sticking up was definitely a cowlick, right? Does my Marshal have a hairstyle like that?

“Don’t worry about the details. Where are you going now?” Sakazuki straightened his ahoge (cowlick) and tucked it into his hat.

That's right, the one in front of you isn't the real Sakazuki. The real Sakazuki is still at Navy Headquarters reviewing documents.

Despite being the strongest force in the modern navy, he was confined to his office for official duties.

This is the tragedy of the working class.

“I’m going to Punk Hazard!” Smoker didn’t think too much about it. Since his superior asked, he just answered. It was that simple.

Suddenly, a terrifying thought crossed Smoker's mind: Could it be that the Marshal's sudden appearance here was just to prevent him from landing on the island? What secrets does that island hold?

What should I do if the marshal comes down to give me an order?

Did they return empty-handed? Or did they disobey military orders?
