Grove 21.
Pacifistas blocked Eustass Kid's path.
"'Captain' Eustass Kid. Bounty: 315 million berries. Arrest!"
"Are you kidding!?"
"Punk Gibson!"
The huge iron arm attached to Kid's hand grabbed the Pacifista.
Beep~~
The Pacifista gathered a laser cannon in its mouth and shot it towards the iron arm.
boom!!
The iron arm collided with the laser. Although it blocked the laser cannon, parts shattered on the ground.
"Tch! It's really difficult to deal with."
"Hey! Kid."
Just as Kid was absorbing the metal again, Kira's voice next to him changed, with a hint of uneasiness: "A troublesome is here."
Kid jumped a step further away and looked in the direction of Kira's eyes.
Five figures approached slowly from a distance.
"The lackeys of the Celestial Dragons...and 'Rairyu'?"
Dylan put his right hand on the handle of his sword and looked at the nuts, wheels, and pots and pans on Kid's arm with a look of disgust.
"The good Magnet-Magnet Fruit just turned you into a rag collector."
That's it? The first person to go supernova? King's Wings?
A steel ball was sucked from the ground to Dylan's hand.
The power of lightning emerged in Dylan's hand, and the dense lightning frantically rubbed the air, making sharp and harsh sounds.
Pressing his thumb and index finger against the steel ball, Dylan looked at Kid, who was sweating in the distance.
"Try my... electromagnetic gun."
With a push of his thumb, the steel ball wrapped in lightning flew out, distorting the air for a moment.
Kid's eyelids twitched. At this level...it was impossible for the metal arm to stop him. He could only try his abilities!
"Punk Barrier!"
"Ah."
Dylan chuckled, although electricity and magnetism are one family. But the power gap between him and Kid, as well as the level of Devil Fruit development and understanding, could no longer be described as a gap.
Hey!
boom!
The electromagnetic gun flashing with dazzling white light grew larger in the air, directly passed through and submerged Kid's body, and then cut off the No. 21 tree behind him.
"Did you avoid fatal injuries? You are a quite capable rag collector."
Kid stood there, and the pots and pans that were originally attached to his hands had been completely melted by the ultra-high temperature of the electromagnetic gun.
His right arm also disappeared.
"That's fine... everyone who has red hair, now has one hand? It looks quite symmetrical."
Dylan walked forward while teasing, but Kid became even more desperate.
Although the man was making witty remarks that he didn't understand, his eyes showed no smile at all.
"Kid!!!"
Kira, who was standing not far from Kid, suddenly shouted and rushed towards the crowd with a machete in hand.
Kid's body tensed up, and a halo of light appeared under his feet.
Ding!!
Kira's sword was blocked by Ain.
Ka... Ka...
Cracks spread from the machete's blade, and then turned into pieces in Kira's incredulous eyes.
Poof!
Ain spun his body, Kira's upper body flew into the air, and his lower body fell to the ground.
"Kira!!!"
In the distant sky, Kid screamed in pain.
Escape with the help of magnetism?
Dylan narrowed his eyes, and the sky was instantly covered with clouds.
But the next second the clouds dispersed again.
There are many civilians nearby, so an AOE attack is not appropriate.
"Tahir!"
"Yes."
After just a few breaths, Kid's figure almost disappeared. Tahir waved the small folding fan in his hand.
A ball of purple flame instantly enveloped Kid.
"But... damn... I won't die!!!"
call!!
Conqueror's Haki exploded, barely protecting Kid's body. At this time, he was already more than ten kilometers away from Dylan and the others.
Tahir frowned and bent towards Dylan: "He escaped."
"Conqueror's Haki? Huh, forget it, there's still time."
Dylan turned his head and glanced at CP0.
"12th."
CP0 nodded slightly and turned around to lead the way.
·······
When Dylan and the others arrived, only Rayleigh, Kizaru, Kuma, and the Straw Hat were left on the scene.
The moment Kuma saw Dylan and his group, he immediately rushed to the Straw Hat's side without hesitation.
"We won't see each other again...if you travel, where do you want to go?"
At that moment, the Straw Hat seemed to see a smile on the corner of Kuma's mouth, and then lost consciousness.
"Hmph~~~ You have finished your work."
Dylan had a smile on his face, but everyone could see that the smile was full of hostility.
What are you running for? Here is your teacher, your father's subordinate, and a friend who seems to be your father's.
Is there any safer place in the world than this?
No!
Maybe Marineford is even safer.
Looking at the messy battlefield, Dylan squinted at Rayleigh and Kizaru, who had stopped.
Kuma stood in the distance with his book under his arm, looking calm.
"It seems like there's nothing wrong?" Dylan glanced meaningfully at the three people present, then turned and left without waiting for them to speak.
After stepping onto CP0's ship, Dylan closed his eyes.
The next step is to wait for the Straw Hats to break through Impel Down, and then start the "Summit War."
Impel Down...
Just wait until Straw Hat releases that guy. Just wait until the sea becomes more chaotic.
In this way, the policies of the World Government will be relaxed, and you'll have the opportunity to capture him legitimately and use him for your own ends!
Before that...
"Go to Impel Down. By the way, has Bell-mère returned to G-5?"
Tahir replied: "Returned two days ago."
"Notify key personnel to go to Marineford and be on standby."
"Yes."
The G-5 branch immediately gathered after receiving the order, even though only the "rogue Marines" remained. They didn't worry about their safety at all.
Just like the man said.
Carry out your own justice and don't care about other people's opinions. If you die in battle, I will use double the heads to pay homage to you!
······
Impel Down LV6!
Dylan walked alone through the dark corridor.
There was a burst of laughter in the distance.
Old man Garp, have you come to visit the prison?
Ace, who was tied to the wall, and Garp, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor, turned their heads at the same time when they heard the footsteps.
"Ace..."
Dylan walked over to Garp and sat down, looking at Ace who was tightly bound.
"I don't really agree with what you just said."
Dylan crossed his arms and looked directly at Ace.
"Why can't Dadan, who raised you for seventeen years, and Garp, who has taken care of you for twenty years against his own justice, be your parents?"
"What did Whitebeard give you? The confidence to sail in this sea?"
"Is this kindness even deeper than Garp's kindness, and warmer than Dadan's kindness? Ace?"
"What an irony... Ace. To this day, you still call Garp 'old man'. But Whitebeard has become your 'dad'."
"You keep saying that you hate that man, but..."
"Stop talking! Dylan!"
Looking at the pale Ace, Garp shook his head: "It doesn't matter who you are! Dylan, this is a trust between friends! There is no need to repay!"
"Ah, I see."
Dylan looked at Garp, whose face was also slightly pale. How could this guy be disappointed?
"By the way, Ace, do you understand now?"
"What?"
Ace raised his head, confused.
"Do you understand why I didn't untie Yamato's shackles that day?"
Ace opened his mouth.
If... Yamato's shackles were taken off by him that day, then...
"You...you...you knew it a long time ago!?"
Dylan looked at Ace's scarred body: "Yes, because from the moment you decided to become a pirate, your fate was decided by yourself!"
"Not even Garp can change that!"
