"Kizaru, I advise you not to move," Ryujiro's voice was cold, as if made of ice, making Kizaru feel as though he had fallen into an ice cavern.
Kizaru, terrified and unable to act rashly, was overwhelmed by confusion. What had just happened? Had he lost consciousness or had the environment around him changed?
Now, Kizaru had no time to think. He regretted taking this assignment from Sengoku. Wouldn't it have been better to stay quietly at Navy Headquarters?
As the Navy ships continued to sink, Kizaru was paralyzed by a growing sense of helplessness.
Frustration!
For the first time, as an Admiral, he felt such frustration.
Standing at the top of the Navy, he found himself restrained by Ryujiro alone, unable to do anything while watching his subordinates suffer.
At this moment, Ryujiro had already disappeared. Kizaru looked at the terrifying wound on his chest, his face pale.
"A monster."
The weight of the situation made Kizaru's eyes flicker with unprecedented seriousness.
The Navy's defeat would shake the entire sea, and Sengoku would have a severe headache.
Kizaru's injuries would not heal for at least ten days or so.
Whoosh!
Ryujiro's figure appeared on the deck as if teleporting. Looking at the sinking ships, his heart remained unmoved.
"Carmen, Kun, it's over. You can come out now."
Ryujiro called out to the cabin.
Carmen and Kun looked around before emerging from the room.
"Is it all over?"
Carmen and Kun glanced at the sea. Their expressions gradually turned blank. Their mouths slightly opened as they took in the shocking scene, speechless.
The sea was littered with the wreckage of Navy ships. The surviving Navy personnel showed no defiance; their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at the ship.
Carmen's hands trembled slightly.
All these Navy ships, completely destroyed?
When did the Navy become so vulnerable?
And all of this was the work of Ryujiro and Hinata alone. How powerful were these two?
With just their combined strength, they had annihilated the Navy.
Kun noticed the three Vice Admirals rescuing Navy personnel from the ruins. His pupils shrank, and his voice trembled. "Three Vice Admirals?!"
Carmen gasped upon hearing this.
Indeed! Even Vice Admirals had been defeated? What kind of ship did they board?
Carmen and Kun realized they should not only worry about their appearance being seen by the Navy but also that the Navy had discovered there were two more people on Ryujiro's ship.
After this incident, Carmen and Kun would be wanted by the Marines, and their bounty would likely be substantial because they were associated with Ryujiro's crew.
The Marines watched as Ryujiro's ship departed, powerless to stop him.
"Damn pirates!"
The three Vice Admirals clenched their fists, their nails digging into their flesh, glaring at the retreating pirate ship with frustration.
Meanwhile, Kizaru had quickly bandaged his injuries. As an Admiral, his physical resilience was far from ordinary.
A bitter smile appeared on Kizaru's face.
The Navy had suffered a crushing defeat: an Admiral and three Vice Admirals had been thoroughly beaten by just two individuals.
This was a pirate crew comparable to the Yonko.
At present, they didn't even know the name of Ryujiro's pirate crew.
To classify Ryujiro as a pirate was merely a one-sided assumption.
Puru puru puru!
Den Den Mushi's voice sounded, and Kizaru knew things were about to get worse. He would rather not answer the call if possible.
"Kizaru, did you intercept them?"
Kizaru remained silent for a long time.
"Hello! Kizaru!"
"Is something wrong?"
The lack of response from Kizaru made Sengoku anxious. He knew that if an Admiral was in trouble, it would shake the entire sea.
The three Admirals were the cornerstone of maintaining peace in the sea. Any issues with them were disastrous for the Navy.
Listening to Sengoku's words, Kizaru showed a helpless expression. "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the mission failed. We couldn't intercept Ryujiro at the entrance of the Grand Line."
"We have too little information about Ryujiro."
"The ships were all destroyed, and I'm seriously injured. Please send reinforcements as soon as possible to mitigate the damage."
In the Fleet Admiral's office, Sengoku stiffened, his breathing quickened.
What did Kizaru just say? The Navy was completely destroyed? Kizaru was gravely injured!
Kizaru was an Admiral! To fail to intercept Ryujiro with such a formidable lineup was even worse.
The key was that Ryujiro and Kizaru were both Admiral-level powers. Even if Kizaru was defeated, he should have been injured, not defeated so completely.
Kizaru, a Logia-type user with speed comparable to light, should not have suffered such a crushing defeat, even if they had underestimated Ryujiro's strength.
Kizaru detailed the events to Sengoku.
Sengoku was deeply shaken, his hand stiff as he held the Den Den Mushi.
Ryujiro had various strange abilities? He's not just a great swordsman or a Devil Fruit user?
And he could use multiple abilities?
How is that possible!
How could there be such absurdity in this world?
Sengoku couldn't afford to be careless. If Kizaru's injuries worsened, leaving permanent damage, it would be a significant blow to the Navy.
Sengoku contacted the nearest Navy branch to send immediate support to Kizaru and his crew.
After hanging up, Sengoku's expression remained as grim as ever.
The White Demon Pirates' threat was now comparable to the Yonko, but the main combatants on this ship were only two people: Ryujiro and the White-Eyed Sorceress.
Sengoku still had no clear information on the White-Eyed Sorceress.
Even the World Government hadn't uncovered any details about Ryujiro or the White-Eyed Sorceress.
It seemed as if these two had appeared out of thin air.
Damn Roger!
Since Roger's last words before his death, the Navy's control over the sea had weakened, and now the number of pirates had reached terrifying levels.
Though there weren't many powerful pirates, those who joined the Yonko in the New World would be troublesome enemies for the Navy.
"Boom—"
Sengoku's face darkened as he slammed his fist on the desk.
"Crack—Crack—"
The desk cracked and collapsed under the force.
"Conqueror's Haki, another king!"
