Chapter 245

Long before the Ohara incident,

Kuzan had seen through the World Government's hypocrisy and did not regard the Marines as his sole refuge.

The reason he was fighting desperately this time for the position of Fleet Admiral was twofold.

On one hand, it was to vigorously oppose Akainu.

Akainu had once bombarded civilian ships in Ohara; such extreme absolute justice, in Kuzan's view, harmed the world without benefit.

He could not allow the extreme Akainu to ascend to the position of Fleet Admiral of the Marines!

(bjdg)

On the other hand,

Kuzan also sought to implement his own justice.

Once he became Fleet Admiral, he could reshape the Marines according to his own ideas into the form matching his ideals.

But if he failed this time and Akainu became Fleet Admiral,

Kuzan planned to leave the Marines.

To travel alone across this great sea, seeking the justice that belonged to him.

Just as Kuzan pondered, and just as Blackbeard hesitated whether to flee immediately,

a door suddenly materialized out of the air not far away.

Kuzan's pupils instantly contracted; his chaotic thoughts were immediately cast aside, and his muscles tensed as he said:

"This is... the Anywhere Door?!"

The Marines already knew some intelligence about the Anywhere Door, but Blackbeard did not.

Blackbeard stared at the suddenly appearing door with a completely bewildered expression.

The door opened.

Several figures stepped out from within.

The tall and heroic man at the front was none other than Luo Xing.

Blackbeard's eyeballs nearly fell out.

H-how is it you again, you bastard!

Blackbeard also spotted Rainy Shiryu, Evil King, Catherine Divine, Big Barrel, and others behind Luo Xing, feeling an even stronger urge to cry without tears.

These people were all subordinates he had intended to recruit; they had all been snatched away!

Luo Xing's sudden appearance also shocked Jewelry Bonney greatly.

A strange look also appeared in Jewelry Bonney's eyes.

Because she had just spoken of Luo Xing not long ago, belittling Blackbeard to worthlessness, and even saying she would rather become Luo Xing's woman and so on...

She never expected that this man would actually appear.

Luo Xing's appearance made Blackbeard completely determined to flee.

With one Admiral, Kuzan, Blackbeard's current strength was already hard to deal with.

Now a more terrifying Fifth Emperor, Luo Xing, had appeared; if he didn't run, was he seeking death?

Buzz~~

A black whirlwind covered the entire small island; Blackbeard intended to use the power of the Dark Dark Fruit to flee immediately with his subordinates.

Luo Xing glanced over,

and without his order, Rainy Shiryu and the four of Evil King drew their swords, grinning wickedly as they charged toward Blackbeard's pirate crew.

Luo Xing then tapped his foot lightly and arrived before Jewelry Bonney, casually untying the ropes binding the other's slender body.

However, while untying them, Luo Xing specifically gazed for a moment.

The ropes binding Jewelry Bonney's body actually possessed a unique kind of beauty.

It was something Luo Xing had never seen on other women before.

If the ropes were replaced with a pearl necklace or something similar, it would probably be even more beautiful.

Luo Xing felt somewhat excited; he had never played like this before, and Jewelry Bonney's binding had given him inspiration.

After the restraints were removed, Jewelry Bonney immediately tried to escape, but was unfortunately grabbed by the wrist by Luo Xing and fitted with a Sea Prism Stone handcuff.

Luo Xing said with a smile:

"Why be in such a hurry to leave? When a knight saves a princess, the princess must also pay a certain reward."

210. The possibility of Kuzan joining the Beasts Pirates, heading to Germa again

Jewelry Bonney was left speechless, her red-lipped mouth agape as she said:

"Y-you... you want me too?!"

Luo Xing coughed once and said seriously:

"Don't speak so crudely; I am just a bit curious about you and your abilities."

"Can you tell me, what is your true identity?"

Someone capable of stirring the Marine high command and prompting the dispatch of an Admiral to rescue her, Jewelry Bonney's true identity must certainly be extraordinary.

Jewelry Bonney immediately shut her mouth, glaring angrily at Luo Xing.

Just escaped the wolf's den, only to enter the tiger's mouth; truly terrible luck.

However, looking at the handsome face of the man before her, it was at least a thousand or hundred times better than that ugly black ball bastard.

If such a man truly wanted her, Bonney actually wouldn't mind too much.

Although she had never dated a man, her carefree and violent nature made her not care much about such things.

Moreover, she also greatly liked handsome men.

Even if that really happened, it was still unclear who was taking advantage of whom!

But Bonney was shocked by Luo Xing's question about her true identity.

Her identity, aside from the Marines, should have been known to no one.

How did this man get this information?

Seeing that Charlotte Bonney did not answer, Luo Xing was not angry.

In the future, he had plenty of time to slowly make Charlotte Bonney, this violent little firecracker, submit to him.

On the other side.

Shiryu, Katrin Diamante, and the other four had already engaged in a major battle with the Blackbeard Pirates.

Blackbeard only wanted to flee and had no intention of truly fighting Shiryu and the others.

But fleeing was not that easy.

Shiryu had consumed a Dragon-class Monster Cell, and the other four had consumed Ghost-class Monster Cells.

Their combined strength far surpassed that of the Blackbeard crew.

Hum!

Shiryu delivered a vertical slash, unleashing a massive sword wave that shattered Blackbeard's small sailboat entirely.

All members of the Blackbeard crew fell into the sea.

Just then, a wave crashed over them, dragging the disheveled crew back down into the depths.

Blackbeard was a Devil Fruit user; the moment he hit the water, his eyes rolled back instantly.

Moments later, he gurgled and passed out.

The unfortunate entire Blackbeard crew were now lost, their fate unknown.

Kuzan had witnessed the strength of Luo Xing's subordinates during the battle for the Sabaody Archipelago.

He was not the least surprised that they had utterly routed the Blackbeard Pirates.

But how could Charlotte Bonney, a figure of special status, be rescued now that she had fallen into the hands of the Five Elders' Luo Xing?

Kuzan had no confidence.

He raised his hand, ordering the warship to halt, still hundreds of meters away from the island where Luo Xing stood.

He watched Luo Xing's every move with solemn due to fear.

The Marines and the Beasts Pirates were now irreconcilable enemies.

After eliminating Blackbeard, it was only natural for Luo Xing to turn on him next.

Kuzan had to be on guard.

Yet Luo Xing seemed to have no intention of attacking Kuzan.

He pulled Charlotte Bonney, still bound, and spoke calmly toward Kuzan's direction:

"I heard Marshal Sakazuki of the Marines is planning to resign in disgrace, and the next one will be chosen between you and Akainu."
