Chapter 417

The void before him was quickly filled by particles.

However, Fengeli, who had been right in front of him, retreated wildly after the giant roar opened up the distance, transforming into a blur as he shuttled across the field, leaping directly outside the battlefield to stand on the tip of an ice tooth.

In the middle was the sea surface after the ice had shattered.

Clearly, he had mistakenly assumed they were Devil Fruit users and wanted to use the seawater to restrict their advance.

Although he was completely wrong.

Najenda and the Three Imperial Gods had nothing to do with Devil Fruits, nor did they have the obvious disadvantage of fearing seawater, but the distance Fengeli had suddenly opened up happened to be stuck in the particle-state shuttle.

The Three Imperial Gods paused in their movements.

"Enough!!"

Fengeli, standing on the ice tooth, had a dark expression.

Dozens of meters of ice crystals.

Standing atop it, he should have had a sense of aloofness from the peak, but being entangled by the Three Imperial Gods and unable to win after a long battle, he only felt defeated, especially since his previous grand words now seemed somewhat comical.

Fighting until now!

Even if Fengeli still held himself in high regard.

He had to admit.

Najenda, relying on her strange power, already had the capital to compete with him.

She was definitely not some passerby.

And certainly not an existence he could manipulate at will.

"Fighting until now..."

"That should be enough!!"

Fengeli gritted his teeth, his eyes flickering with a hint of unwillingness.

But forced by the situation.

He ultimately chose to bow his head temporarily.

There was no unresolvable blood feud between him and Noxas; the reason he was an enemy was simply to give Locke a warning and vent the frustration in his heart. Now that the other side had shown such powerful strength.

Bowing his head slightly was not impossible.

After all, having been beaten by Rocks until he disappeared from the sea, he had long since lost his so-called spirit and drive; compared to face, he cared more about his own danger.

"Stop—"

"I don't think there is any deep hatred between us..."

"The greeting gesture earlier was a bit too much!"

"But I definitely have no malice in coming to Noxas... Not only no malice, but it's actually a great thing!"

Fengeli said in a low, deep voice.

Like a barrage of cannon fire, he turned the situation around in a very short time.

Although the distance between the two sides had been opened up.

With their formidable strength, they certainly wouldn't miss anything because of the space.

"A good thing?"

Najenda frowned slightly.

A look of suspicion appeared on her face at just the right moment.

"That's right, a benefit! A big benefit!" Fengeli struck while the iron was hot: "I came to 350 this time to deliver a battle achievement to you, to give to Noxas!"

"A victory over an old-era great pirate should be very beneficial for your stabilization of the North Blue's turmoil... The previous exchange was just to see who could bear this result..."

"Even if I have to lose! I have to lose reasonably—"

Fengeli paused as he spoke.

A look of shame and anger appeared on his face, but he quickly covered it up.

'World Government...'

He muttered in his heart, his face filled with the cunning of a wolf king.

Interests!

Were far more important than his face.

"I'm not here to make things difficult for you, I'm here to deliver a battle achievement!"

"We have no deep hatred, no need for a life-or-death struggle..."

Fengeli kept a straight face.

He was somewhat unwilling, but the situation was stronger than the person; since Locke's side possessed strength that made him wary, his posture naturally had to be lowered.

The plan to crush them with force, loot treasures to replenish his small treasury, make up for the losses of his years in hiding, and then feign defeat and leave.

It seemed he would have to grit his teeth and scrap it.

"We..."

"Might be able to become friends."

Worthy of having the cunning of a wolf, he, who was just fierce, now changed his expression directly.
