Chapter 121

New World, G-5 Branch.

Vergo received a reply from the Navy Headquarters.

At the same time, there was also intelligence on Zephyr's whereabouts gathered by Navy spies across the entire world.

Vergo was overjoyed upon seeing this and immediately summoned his subordinates, the Marine soldiers, mobilized all G-5 warships, and prepared to capture the former Admiral, Black Arm Zephyr.

Smoker was also among those summoned.

Hearing that they were to capture Teacher Zephyr, Smoker was shaken. He wanted to say something, but ultimately held back.

On one hand, even if he raised any objections, Vergo, this domineering and tyrannical base commander, would not pay him any heed.

On the other hand, Teacher Zephyr had indeed defected from the Navy and intended to destroy the entire world; Smoker didn't even know what reason he could use to plead for Teacher Zephyr.

Once the formation was organized, three warships set sail.

The entire G-5 Branch, led by Vergo, set off in great force.

Tashigi, seeing Smoker's depressed mood, asked with concern:

"Is Vice Admiral Smoker still angry about Base Commander Vergo?"

Yesterday, in front of so many G-5 Marine soldiers, Smoker was instantly defeated by Vergo, losing all face.

No matter who it was, their heart would not feel good about it, let alone someone as proud as Smoker.

"Is Commodore Smog still angry about the matter with Base Commander Vergo?" Four

"The weak obey the strong. If you lose, you lose; there is nothing to be angry about. I came to the New World precisely to temper my own strength."

Tashigi asked in confusion: "Then is Smoker preparing to..."

Before she could finish, Smoker interrupted:

"Tashigi, which teacher taught you your swordsmanship?"

Tashigi held the famous sword Yoru no Shigure at her waist as if it were a treasure.

Her dream was to collect all the famous swords in the world that were in the hands of pirates.

Tashigi said: "It was taught by an old senior in the Navy."

"Yes, most of our skills were taught by seniors within the Navy."

Smoker gazed at the distant sea, and suddenly clenched his fist.

"But one day, our superiors disregarded the feelings of that old senior and insisted that the old senior's enemy join the Navy's ranks. Tashigi, do you find this ridiculous?"

Tashigi's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief:

"Why would our superiors do such a thing?"

"Because they are all bastards!" Smoker's fist tightened, and he suddenly hammered the railing, letting out a low roar, "This is the World Government we pledge loyalty to!"

"But one day, our superior, disregarding the old-timer's feelings, insisted on letting the old-timer's enemy join the Navy's ranks. Tashigi, do you think that's laughable or not?"

She, with her simple mind, had always believed that the Navy and the World Government were justice, and pirates were evil.

She never expected that the World Government could be so detestable.

They were even more of bastards than the pirates!

Before Vergo acted, he naturally secretly called Luo Xing.

After receiving the news, Luo Xing immediately set off from Wano Country as well.

· ········· Begging for flowers ········

This time, Luo Xing did not hide his appearance or movements, though he was not too showy either.

First, very few people in the outside world knew his true face.

Second, after cultivating in the Level Time Gravity Room, Luo Xing's Haki and strength had reached a new level.

Unless more than two Emperors or Admiral-level powerful figures came to besiege him, Luo Xing could calmly escape.

This time Luo Xing did not conceal his appearance or whereabouts, but of course he didn't make too big a show of it either.

standing behind him was a rough, muscular bodyguard over ten meters tall, namely Calamity Jack.

Previously, when Luo Xing went to Sky Island, Dressrosa, Thriller Bark, and other places, he had never brought Jack.

Now that he is the young master of the Beasts Pirates, he cannot be unfair.

This time, he brought Calamity Jack.

Jack was ecstatic; finally, he could lead the vanguard again, feeling full of energy from head to toe.

Looking at the excited Jack, Luo Xing smiled and said:

"The opponent this time is a former Navy Admiral. Even if you have eaten a Dragon-level Monster Cell and your Devil Fruit ability has evolved from Ancient Type to Mythical Zoan, you may not necessarily be able to defeat him."

Jack didn't care at all and said in a deep, muffled voice:

"Let's just dock the ship first; I, the Great One, will fight him in hand-to-hand combat!"

Luo Xing looked at the excited Jack and laughed:

in terms of hand-to-hand combat, in the current Beasts Pirates, except for his father-in-law Kaido, even Scorching Disaster King and Plague Disaster Queen are no match for Jack.

Because the Dragon-level Monster Cell improved Jack's defense so greatly that he could even bathe in Akainu's magma.

It must be known that,

in the World of Pirates, magma is already the method with the highest attack power.

Yet Jack could withstand it for a while purely with his body, which is simply terrifying!

Because the Dragon-level Monster Cell boosted Jack's defense so greatly that he could even bathe in Akainu's magma.

Keep in mind,

in the World of Pirates, magma is already the most powerful offensive means.

Yet Jack could withstand it with his body for a time; it is simply terrifying!

And,

Even if Jack's defense is shattered and he is injured, his Animal-Type Mythical Beast Fruit grants him immense regenerative power, allowing him to recover within moments.

In other words,

Jack is now a high-defense, high-health melee warrior; even if he cannot defeat his enemy, he can outlast and wear him down.

Though the former Admiral Black Arm Zephyr is powerful, he is ultimately elderly, and in a prolonged battle with Jack, defeat is inevitable.

Moreover, Vergo's Marine forces are present.

Thus, for this operation, Luo Xing does not worry about failure, nor does he intend to intervene himself.

He is merely a scientist with little combat ability—let the subordinates handle the fighting.

One day later.

Luo Xing and Disaster Jack arrived at a strange island covered entirely in red rock.

111, Black Arm Zephyr's Ruthless Justice, Vergo's Calculations, Luo Xing Appears

The rocks on this island are all red because they are igneous rock.

Beneath the island lies a living volcanic conduit.

Zephyr's goal is to breach this volcanic conduit, connect the veins of three volcanic endpoints, and ultimately trigger a full eruption of the undersea volcano to destroy the entire New World.

Luo Xing activated Kenbunshoku and quickly sensed Black Arm Zephyr's location.

He did not reveal himself; instead, he brought Jack to a small hill and observed the coastline from above.

On the shore.

The NEO Marines led by Black Arm Zephyr had arrived at this island before Luo Xing.

But before they could act, they were caught up by Vergo's G5 branch.

Zephyr gazed darkly at the three warships slowly approaching him across the sea.

Once, he too had been one of them.

But the World Government's utter hypocrisy had shattered his heart.

What kind of bullshit justice is "430," accepting irredeemable pirates as Warlords?

What use is such justice!

Ridiculous! Hypocritical! Shameless!

Zephyr abandoned the belief he had held for decades and redefined the meaning of justice.

He would practice true justice in his own way!

The G5 warships drew near slowly.

Zephyr saw Vergo standing at the front of the warship, raised his right mechanical arm, and sneered:
