One Piece: From Ninja To Pirates

Chapter 403: Chapter 403: The Terrifying Strength of a Vice Admiral Candidate

"So many people!"

Standing on a flying fish from Ryugu Palace, Merry rested her chin on her hand and looked at the figures below. "Are all these people here to see us off?"

"It seems so."

Nico Robin nodded and smiled. "It appears we’ve been treated entirely as heroes."

As people regarded as heroes, such treatment was only natural.

"Yo-ho-ho-ho!"

"It certainly seems that way," Brook laughed.

"Hey, look! The Thousand Sunny is over there!" Chopper pointed toward the ship on the sea ahead. "Franky is on it, too!"

"Looks like the preparations for departure are complete," Nami said with a smile.

From its appearance, the coating was finished, so there would be no issues with setting sail.

As for the Log Pose?

King Neptune had mentioned earlier that the Left Minister would hand it to her in a moment, so there was no rush.

Soon, under the control of the Fish-man soldiers, the flying fish arrived at the Thousand Sunny.

Looking at the coated pirate ship before him, a look of nostalgia appeared on Luffy’s face. "The day has finally come..."

They were finally heading to the New World they had been longing for!

"Lord Meiser, Lord Luffy, are you really leaving?" Watching the members of the Straw Hat Pirates prepare to board, Shirahoshi said through tears. "We finally became friends; can’t you stay for just one more day?"

"No... stay for one more week..."

"No, stay for another year!"

Looking at the wailing Shirahoshi, Luffy scratched his head somewhat helplessly. "You really have cried from beginning to end, Crybaby-hoshi."

She loved to cry at the drop of a hat; it was truly a headache.

Meiser, on the other hand, smiled. "You need to be a bit stronger, Shirahoshi."

"Don’t forget, you are the future of Fish-Man Island."

Having mastered that power, she would eventually become the force that protected Fish-Man Island, so... she had to become strong.

Understanding Meiser’s meaning, Shirahoshi wiped her tears and said, "I’m sorry... I won’t be a crybaby anymore."

"I... I will be strong."

Despite saying that, Shirahoshi still sobbed from time to time, looking like a poor little thing.

"Ah!"

Taking in Shirahoshi’s reaction, Sanji writhed his body and said, "The Mermaid Princess of the Fish-Man Island of my dreams is actually shedding tears for our departure..."

"Not only that, but there are also beautiful mermaid ladies seeing us off..."

Glancing at Camie and the others waving at them from below, Sanji’s face turned red with excitement.

"I really want to live here for a year!"

"Yo-ho-ho-ho! I feel the same way!" Brook laughed loudly. "This is truly a dream paradise!"

"Exactly!"

Sanji shouted excitedly, "I love Fish-Man Island to death!"

"Hmph!"

Looking at Sanji, who wouldn’t stop writhing, Zoro snorted and said, "In that case... just stay here, you nosebleed idiot."

"Nosebleed idiot?"

Hearing those words, Sanji immediately flew into a rage. He turned to Zoro and shouted, "Who are you calling a nosebleed idiot, you moss head!"

"Who are you calling moss head, you bastard!"

"Huh?!"

"Huh?!"

Clang! Bam! Boom!

After their roars, the two began fighting on the ship again, leaving Shirahoshi stunned.

"They..."

"That’s just how those two interact," Meiser said, glancing at the two fools fighting. "Don’t mind them."

"That’s how they interact...?"

Looking at the two hammering away at each other without mercy, Shirahoshi was left speechless.

Isn’t this way of interacting a bit too special?

Nami watched the two idiots with an exasperated expression, unsure of what to say.

Shaking her head, Nami flickered and appeared beside them.

"You two, behave yourselves!"

Thump!

Thump!

Neptune: "..."

Watching the two being floored by Nami’s punches, Neptune was also left speechless.

So, this girl is the strongest one in the Straw Hat Pirates, right?

Right, she must be!

"Your Majesty..."

"Hmm?"

Glancing at the Minister of the Right, who was gesturing to him, Neptune asked, "What is it?"

Neptune leaned in closer as he spoke.

"Your Majesty, I think we should still tell them about that matter," the Minister of the Right whispered. "The matter regarding the explosive treasure chest sent to BIG MOM..."

If they didn’t say anything, Luffy and the others might face retaliation from BIG MOM because of it.

"That’s true, but..."

Neptune turned to look at Usopp and Chopper, who were lying on the ground crying. "Look at them."

"It’s over, Chopper," Usopp cried. "We’ve been targeted by one of the Four Emperors. Going to the New World like this is just suicide."

"Exactly," Chopper added, also in tears. "If all the treasure we get from now on goes to BIG MOM, will she even spare us?"

"The future is bleak..." X2

"Waaaaah!!"

Neptune: "..."

Minister of the Right: "..."

Taking in their reactions, Neptune and the Minister of the Right were rendered speechless.

If they said they had already sent a bomb over at a time like this... would these two literally die of fright?

After a moment of silence, Neptune leaned toward the Minister of the Right and whispered, "Minister of the Right, do you think it’s possible the bomb won’t explode?"

"After all... it was set ten years ago."

"Your Majesty is quite optimistic," the Minister of the Right nodded. "You’re right. Ryugu Palace is so humid, maybe the bomb won’t go off at all."

"And... it might not be BIG MOM herself who opens the box, right?"

"Exactly!"

The two looked at each other and suddenly smiled, giving a simultaneous thumbs up. "Everything will definitely be fine."

"What are you two whispering about over there?" Nico Robin asked suspiciously, looking at them.

Hearing Nico Robin’s words, Meiser also cast a curious gaze toward them.

Noticing Meiser’s gaze, Neptune hesitated for a moment before waving Meiser over, clearly having something to tell him.

Seeing this, Meiser jumped down from Shirahoshi’s hand and walked over to Neptune. "What’s wrong, Uncle Neptune?"

"There’s something I want to tell you." Neptune swallowed hard and leaned in close to Meiser, whispering, "Didn’t you send the treasure to BIG MOM? We just remembered that there was a treasure chest inside rigged with a bomb, so..."

"So that’s what you two were whispering and worrying about," Meiser said.

Now he understood why the Minister of the Right and Uncle Neptune had acted so awkward since they returned. It was all because of this?

"Why aren’t you worried at all?"

"Why should I be?" Meiser asked, puzzled.

"Hey, that’s BIG MOM we’re talking about," Neptune whispered. "Once that bomb explodes, it’ll be seen as a provocation."

"BIG MOM will definitely be furious then."

The mere thought of a Four Emperor mobilizing their entire crew to hunt the Straw Hat Pirates made his scalp tingle.

"It’s fine. Luffy already provoked BIG MOM anyway; one more time won’t make a difference."

Meiser paused for a moment before continuing, "Besides... you don’t need to worry about her causing trouble for Fish-Man Island. Since we gave them the bomb, you can rest easy."

Neptune froze for a moment. Did this kid think he was someone who feared for his own life?

Thinking this, Neptune said anxiously, "I didn’t mean that. I’m worried about you all."

"I understand what you mean, Uncle Neptune," Meiser smiled. "But... Luffy is the man who will become the Pirate King. How could he be afraid of the Four Emperors?"

"So, just relax."

After saying that, Meiser patted the older man’s arm and turned to head back to the Thousand Sunny.

Neptune stood there in silence, watching Meiser leave.

So... that’s how it is.

"It seems our worries were redundant," the Minister of the Right said.

This time, Neptune only nodded and said nothing more.

"Take this." The Left Minister held out a Log Pose. "This is a specialized Log Pose for the New World."

"A new Pose?"

Luffy leaned down curiously, looking at the Log Pose in Nami’s hand. "It looks so cool!"

Nami, however, was confused. "Why are there three needles?"

With three, how was she supposed to know which one was the correct direction?

"Because a single needle cannot be used in the New World," the Left Minister explained. "You’ll understand if you look at the Pose you used before."

Nami instinctively lifted her arm to look, then said in surprise, "The needle is still shaking slightly..."

"Why is that?"

"Is the magnetic force not recorded yet?"

"No, the magnetic force is actually recorded," the Left Minister said. "Starting from our Fish-Man Island, any island in the New World will only take half a day to record the magnetic force."

"Then why is it doing that?"

"Because the New World is different from the first half of the Grand Line," the Left Minister explained. "In the first half, you navigate by the Log Pose recording the magnetism of the next island." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"But in the second half of the Grand Line... that is, the New World, things change drastically."

"On some islands, not only do the sea currents and climate change, but the magnetic fields also undergo shocking fluctuations!"

"On some islands, the magnetic field disappears completely!"

"Disappears completely?"

Nami looked at the Left Minister in shock. "Doesn’t that mean we won’t be able to reach those islands?"

Not only would they be unable to reach the places they wanted to go, but she wouldn’t be able to draw her sea charts!

That was not what she wanted!

"Don’t worry," the Left Minister said. "I didn’t say it was impossible."

He paused, then continued, "Under normal circumstances, you can’t reach such places with a single needle, but you can with the new Log Pose I gave you."

"The new Log Pose..."

After staring at the Log Pose in her hand for a while, Nami looked up. "How do I use this?"

"You see the state of these three needles, right?"

"Yes, I see them." Nami nodded. "One is like my old Pose, shaking slightly, but the other two are very stable."

"What does that mean?"

"It means the conditions of these three islands are different," the Left Minister explained. "Simply put, the more the needle shakes, the higher the danger level of the target island."

"Why?!"

"Because the anomalies occurring on that island are already affecting the magnetic field!" The Left Minister said with a serious expression. "So you must be cautious when choosing. Never choose the most dangerous one, or things could easily go wrong."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Nami and the others immediately changed.

"We can tell the condition of the islands ahead!" Nami’s eyes widened. "It’s better not to know this kind of thing!"

"Predicting danger is way too dangerous!" Chopper screamed.

"Exactly! Destroy it quickly!"

Usopp was also frantic. If Luffy found out about this, it was over!

Left Minister: "?"

"Why?" the Left Minister asked in confusion. "If you don’t choose a safer route, you could lose your lives!"

He was saying this for their own good.

"That’s exactly why..."

"I think I heard something interesting~" Luffy said, leaning in.

Usopp: "!"

"It’s over!!"

For Luffy, this idiot, to hear something so important... it was over!

"Let me see." Luffy leaned in next to Nami, staring at the Log Pose in her hand. "The island the middle needle is shaking wildly for seems really interesting."

"It’s decided! We’re going there!"

Left Minister: "..."

Looking at the three terrified people and the one excited Luffy, the Left Minister was rendered speechless.

Now he understood why they didn’t want to know. It was because Luffy preferred the dangerous islands...

Did... did he do something bad?

At the thought, the Left Minister’s expression became somewhat awkward.

"You idiot, Luffy!" Nami roared with a shark mouth. "Shut up! I’ll be the one deciding the route!"

"What kind of nonsense is that?!" Luffy shouted back. "I’m the captain! Deciding the route is definitely my job!"

"Please, Captain," Chopper and Usopp cried. "Listen to the navigator..."

"No!"

"I want to go to the one that’s shaking the most!!"

If he couldn’t go on an interesting adventure... what was the point of being a pirate?

Seeing that Luffy had no intention of changing his mind, Nami, Usopp, and Chopper sat back-to-back in despair.

"The future is bleak..."

"An island with a more chaotic magnetic field, huh?" Perona tilted her head. "I wonder if I can find Lord Moria there."

"Aren’t you afraid?" Nami asked, staring at Perona.

"Why should I be?"

Perona asked in confusion, "We knew from the start that the New World is terrifying."

So... why be afraid?

Nami: "..."

That’s true, but specifically choosing a dangerous island... is completely irrational!

"The three of you should just give up," Meiser said with a chuckle. "Once Luffy decides something, he won’t change it."

Hearing Meiser’s words, the three cried even harder.

It was exactly because they knew that they felt so afraid.

"Preparations for departure are complete," Franky said, coming to the side of the ship. "We can leave anytime."

"Alright, let’s head out then!" Luffy grinned.

"Yeah!"

Seeing that Nami and the other two were still kneeling and crying, Merry used the power of the wind to bring them onto the ship.

"Luffy-chin, everyone~" Camie said. "Have a safe trip!"

Pappag, held in her hands, shouted, "Remember to come visit me in the future~!"

"Got it!"

"Everyone," Hachi stepped forward. "I need to help repair the factory now, so is it okay if I don’t lead the way?"

"It’s fine," Luffy laughed. "An unknown adventure is more interesting anyway."

"Exactly!" Usopp suddenly stood up and roared with a shark mouth. "No need for a guide! A man’s path is always like hell!"

"That’s right! Let the war begin!" Chopper also roared along. "Bring it on, you bastards!"

"Awoo!!"

"Awoo!!"

Nico Robin: "..."

"They’ve completely given up, haven’t they?"

Hearing Nico Robin’s words, Meiser nodded in deep agreement. "Yeah, probably."

Glancing at their reactions, Meiser made a complicated expression.

"Anyway... everyone, you must come back to Fish-Man Island someday!" the girls from the Mermaid Cafe shouted.

"Got it!"

"We’ll definitely be back~" Sanji writhed his body excitedly. "The All Blue of my heart~"

"Tch, what a shallow dream."

"What did you say?!"

Hearing Zoro’s words, Sanji immediately bristled. He rushed in front of Zoro and roared, "You want to fight, moss head?!"

"Who are you calling moss head, you bastard!"

Thud! After their roars, the two began head-butting each other, neither backing down.

Prince Fukaboshi’s mouth twitched at the sight. The way this Straw Hat crew interacted was truly unique.

Shaking his head, Fukaboshi looked at Luffy and Meiser. "In short... I can only offer my thanks."

"Thank you!"

"I wish you a safe journey!"

"Yeah!"

"Next time we meet, we will surely be leading the strongest undersea army!" Prince Ryuboshi laughed.

"Exactly!" Prince Manboshi nodded. "We will definitely create glory like that of the legendary Neptune Knights!"

"I look forward to it," Luffy smiled.

Meiser also nodded. "I wish you success, then."

"Yeah!"

"And finally..."

Luffy turned to look at the crowd and then smiled. "Found you..."

"Hey, Jimbei!"

Looking at the man watching him intently, Luffy’s lips curled up, as if he were sending a message.

Understanding Luffy’s meaning, Jimbei also smiled and nodded.

His expression seemed to say: I will keep our promise, and... I will definitely come find you!

Having received a definite answer, Luffy grinned broadly.

Then, he turned back to the ship and shouted, "Brothers, we’re setting sail!"

"Goodbye, everyone!"

"Safe travels!"

"Goodbye!!"

Soon, under Franky’s control, the Thousand Sunny quickly left the coastline and headed toward the distant exit.

Watching them leave, Neptune said with emotion, "I wish you a safe journey..."

At that moment, Shirahoshi dived into the sea and swam rapidly toward the pirate ship.

Seeing this, the others were stunned.

"Princess Shirahoshi?"

"Shirahoshi?"

Everyone looked at Shirahoshi’s back in confusion, wondering why she was doing this.

"Let her go."

As if he had realized something, Neptune smiled. "A final farewell is good."

At least... it’s much better than hiding under the covers and crying, isn’t it?

"Shirahoshi?"

Seeing Shirahoshi suddenly appear beside the ship, Meiser asked in confusion, "What’s wrong?"

"Lord Meiser, Lord Luffy, everyone..." Shirahoshi bit her lip. "If we can meet again one day... I definitely... definitely won’t be a crybaby anymore!"

"When that time comes, can we go for a walk together happily?"

"Do you still want to go to your mother’s grave?" Luffy asked.

"No." Shirahoshi shook her head. "Next time, I want to go somewhere further."

"I want to go to a real place... a place called a forest on the sea!"

She dreamed of seeing the surface, so... next time, she had to go!

"A forest, huh," Meiser said thoughtfully. "Now that you mention it, you’ve never been to the surface before..."

"No problem! Next time, we’ll take you there!"

Looking at Meiser’s gentle smile, tears welled up in Shirahoshi’s eyes again.

Then, she held up her pinky finger. "Then... let’s make a pinky promise!"

"Merry taught me this. It means we will both keep our promise!"

Hearing Shirahoshi’s words, everyone laughed.

Then, everyone placed their pinkies against Shirahoshi’s giant pinky and said, "Then let’s make a pinky promise together!"

"One day, we will definitely go to the surface together!"

"Mhm!!"

Watching everyone’s expressions, Shirahoshi said with tears in her eyes, "Thank you... thank you everyone..."

"Have a safe journey!"

"Yeah!!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the New World.

"Why are there so many coated pirate ships here...?"

Watching the pirate ships emerging from the distant sea, Tashigi, standing at the bow, subconsciously knit his brows.

"It seems something extraordinary has happened at the bottom of the sea," Smoker said.

Otherwise, so many pirate ships wouldn’t be appearing here.

Just then, the Den Den Mushi on the warship suddenly rang.

"Puru puru puru~"

"Puru puru puru~"

"Puru puru puru~"

"Kacha."

"This is Smoker."

Having answered the Den Den Mushi, Smoker spoke calmly, "What is it?"

"Have you arrived at the G-5 Branch yet?"

"Not yet," Smoker said indifferently. "Why?"

"That’s good..."

The Marine on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was clearly relieved, then said, "Not long ago, we received news that a large number of coated pirate ships have left Fish-Man Island. It’s estimated they will reach the New World soon."

"So... Fleet Admiral Sakazuki intends for you to intercept them."

"I see. So that’s why these guys are appearing here."

"What?"

The Marine on the phone was stunned. What was Vice Admiral Smoker talking about?

"I’ve already seen the guys you mentioned," Smoker said calmly. "Have Headquarters send warships to take them into custody."

With that, Smoker hung up without hesitation, giving the other person no chance to ramble.

"Vice Admiral Smoker?"

"Since I’m here, there’s no way I’ll watch them escape."

Walking to the bow, Smoker looked calmly at the pirate ships in the distance and said, "Pull the ship alongside them. I’ll handle them."

Hearing Smoker’s words, the Marines on the warship immediately showed expressions of excitement.

Was their Vice Admiral Candidate about to take action?

"Quick, pull the ship alongside!"

"Aye!!"

Receiving the order, the Marines immediately turned the bow and rushed toward the distant pirate ships.

"Finally, the New World!" Looking at the familiar sky, a pirate captain’s eyes welled with tears of excitement.

Damned Fish-Man Island, he never wanted to go there a second time!

"New World, here I come!"

"Me too!"

"Ooh!!"

The pirates let out excited roars, their expressions each more thrilled than the last.

"Alright, boys, we—"

"Captain, this is bad! A warship is rushing toward us!"

"A warship?"

The pirate captain was stunned by his subordinate’s words, then turned to look in the direction he was pointing. "Why is there a warship?"

Could it be that the Marines got news of them leaving Fish-Man Island?

Was the Marines’ intelligence system really that terrifying?

"Maybe they have spies on Fish-Man Island," a pirate suggested.

"Doesn’t matter." The pirate captain waved his hand and said, "I don’t know why the Marines found us, but since they’ve come to provoke us, we can’t just do nothing."

"Boys, blast them with the cannons!"

"But Captain, that’s the Marines..."

"What about the Marines?" the pirate captain said. "No matter how powerful the people on that ship are, they can’t beat this many pirate crews!"

Hearing the captain’s words, the others remembered they weren’t the only pirate group here.

Thinking of this, their expressions turned ferocious.

Yeah, just one warship, how could it be a match for all these pirate crews?

"Go, take down the Marines!"

"Ooh!"

Then, the pirates began howling as they turned the ship’s cannons, preparing to blow the warship away once it got close.

And this... was what all the pirate crews here were doing at that moment.

Some bolder ones even turned their ships to rush directly at Smoker’s warship.

"Kill them! Take down the Marines and make a name for ourselves in the New World!"

"Ooh!!"

"This is quite a surprise."

Standing at the bow, Smoker looked at the pirates with some surprise. "I didn’t expect these guys to have the courage to charge at me."

Was it because they were confident in their own strength?

Or... did they not notice him?

"Vice Admiral Smoker, the pirate ships are within range," a Marine soldier said. "Should we initiate a bombardment?"

"No need," Smoker said calmly. "Leave it to me."

As his voice fell, Smoker’s lower body turned into smoke, and he rushed quickly toward the distant pirate fleet.

"Captain, something seems to be flying over," a pirate said, squinting.

"Probably a cannonball," the pirate captain said. "Ignore it."

After speaking, he turned to his subordinates and shouted, "Boys, use the cannons to ruthlessly—"

"No, Captain!"

"That’s a person!"

The interrupted pirate captain was stunned, then looked toward Smoker’s direction in disbelief. "You’re saying that white smoke is a person?"

"How is that possible? How could smoke be—"

He stopped mid-sentence, his expression turning to one of terror. "Could it be... we’ve run into White Snake?"

"White Snake?"

"Is that the Marine’s Vice Admiral Candidate?"

Hearing their captain’s words, the pirates also showed looks of horror.

Someone capable of becoming a Vice Admiral Candidate... their strength must be absolutely terrifying!

"Quick, boys, turn the ship around! Let’s get out of here!"

"Ooh!"

Realizing how terrifying the newcomer was, the pirates immediately abandoned the idea of fighting and began turning the ship, intending to leave at top speed.

This scene happened to be seen by other pirate ships.

"Why did that guy Mick suddenly turn around?"

"Probably scared."

"Heh, what a loser, afraid of even the Marines."

"Boys, show that loser Mick what a real pirate is!" The pirate captain laughed and said, "Charge! Kill those—"

Before he could finish, he saw a mass of white stuff suddenly fly through the sky in the distance. Then... Mick’s pirate ship exploded.

"Boom!!"

Pirate captain: "?"

Looking at the shattered pirate ship ahead, the pirate captain was completely stunned.

What did he just see? Mick’s pirate ship was smashed to pieces in an instant?

Wait, what did they just go through?

Were they hit by a cannon?

No... what kind of cannon could have such power?

"Captain, something’s not right," a subordinate beside him said.

"I know something’s not right, but—"

Before he could finish, he saw a man appear on his pirate ship.

When he saw the man’s face clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank to the limit.

"You are... Vice Admiral White Snake?!"

"It seems you recognize me," Smoker nodded and said. "Then this will be easy."

As his voice fell, Smoker released a large amount of white smoke from his body, and within a few breaths, everyone on the pirate ship was restrained.

After finishing this, Smoker looked sharply at the pirate captain who had been brought before him. "Tell me, why are you all gathered here in such large numbers?"

"What exactly happened at the bottom of the sea?"

Under Smoker’s gaze, the pirate subconsciously trembled, then said, "Be... because of a Fish-man pirate named Hody Jones."

"He attacked us. We... were no match for him..."

Although his words were a bit stuttered, Smoker understood his meaning.

"I see," Smoker frowned. "So, you were captured by this guy named Hody Jones."

"No wonder no rookie pirates have entered the New World through Fish-Man Island for the past month."

Previously, he had been curious why no new pirates had come to the New World in a month. It turned out to be because of the Fish-men.

"Captured?"

The pirate captain was stunned, then shook his head. "No, it wasn’t as simple as being captured. That bastard treated us like slaves!"

"Slaves..."

Smoker’s face darkened immediately upon hearing the word "slaves." "What a truly disgusting word..."

As if remembering something, veins suddenly bulged on Smoker’s forehead.

"Yes, slaves!" the pirate captain said excitedly. "If it hadn’t been for a certain pirate crew defeating the Hody Pirates, we wouldn’t have had a chance to escape Fish-Man Island."

"Of course, I won’t tell you the name of that pirate crew."

"Heh."

Smoker, snapping out of it, let out a cold laugh upon hearing this. He looked up and said, "Even if you don’t say it, I know who did it."

"It was the Straw Hat Crew, wasn’t it?"

From the timing, the Straw Hat Crew was the most likely possibility.

After all... those guys were indeed very strong.

"How... how did you know?"

"Because I know them well."

With that, Smoker’s body floated into the air. He looked at the pirate crews in the distance who had already noticed something was wrong. "So you’ve noticed me..."

"But unfortunately, I’m not going to let you escape from here!"

"White Smoke Wave!"

"Boom!!"

The next moment, terrifying white smoke erupted from Smoker’s body. Within a few breaths, it caught up with the pirate ships ahead, covering this small area of the sea.

"Hey, what the hell is this thing?!"

Looking at the white smoke surrounding them, the pirates were dumbfounded.

"It’s that White Snake’s doing!"

"He’s the terrifying Marine who defeated World Destroyer, Byrnndi World..."

"He surrounded this area of the sea in the blink of an eye... is this the power of a Vice Admiral Candidate?"

"Everyone, run!"

"Wait, there are at least twenty pirate crews here. Is there any need to fear this guy?"

"What do you know? A monster like this can’t be dealt with by numbers!" a pirate captain said with a grim face.

He was very clear about his own strength.

For people like them, who were easily captured by Hody Jones... what would more of them matter?

That’s a Vice Admiral Candidate!

Thinking of this, he shouted, "Everyone, run!"

"Damn it, I can’t see where we’re going! How are we supposed to escape?"

The next moment, two pirate ships collided, directly smashing both ships.

"Bang!"

"Bastard, how are you steering the ship?"

"We didn’t want this, but we can’t see the direction!"

"Damn it, forget it, just escape first!"

"Ooh!"

Though they were very frustrated, they knew it wasn’t the time to argue, so they had to escape first.

"Escape?"

In mid-air, Smoker looked down at the pirate ships and sneered. "You think you can escape from me?"

"Don’t make me laugh!"

As his voice fell, Smoker threw a punch downward.

"White Smoke Impact!"

"Boom!!"

With one strike, the pirate ship below was destroyed!

After finishing this, Smoker sneered, "I didn’t know where
