019: From the Beginning to the End, You Are the Ones Who Should Not Be Forgiven the Most, Right? Hot Hell!
"Hey, hey, Kimir! That guy only has one head!"
"You can't grab me!"
Maritime.
He hadn't noticed the Marine fleet that had appeared behind him at all.
Several pirates, attracted by Bai Ye's bounty offer, couldn't help arguing loudly.
On the side, a tall pirate with scars all over his face heard the words, stood at the front of the deck, and carried a huge ax on his shoulder, staring greedily at Bai Ye at sea ahead.
"You can't say that, no matter what, it's a head worth 1 billion!"
"Whoever gets it first owns it! Besides, if you really win that head, maybe I'll have a chance to become a Shichibukai in the future, ah ha ha ha!"
With those words, the scarred pirate grabbed his giant ax with both arms and leaped up suddenly.
The hedgehog-headed pirate captain on a nearby ship saw this and his complexion changed.
"You bastard! But that old thing above is so arrogant, he didn't even look at us!"
Quickly drawing out two double knives, the hedgehog-headed captain tried to keep up, fearing he'd fall behind.
Suddenly, a blinding golden light tore through the air from behind.
Before they knew what had happened, "boom!" one of the several pirate ships was pierced through by a terrifying hole!
Even the dozen or so pirates on board didn't react and died directly in the explosion!
Accompanied by thick dust and smoke rising, once everyone regained their senses, they saw a pirate ship had sunk straight into the ocean.
"F... what happened?!"
"Just now, what was that...?!"
The hedgehog-headed pirate stared wide-eyed and froze in place, sweeping his gaze toward the back.
"Sea... Marines?!"
His lips moved slightly, with disbelief in his words.
But in the next second, dazzling golden lights struck from behind, tearing through the air.
Almost in the blink of an eye, they landed on the pirate fleet beneath them!
Followed by successive explosions inside the pirate fleet, water jets soared and splashes erupted, accompanied by the screams of pirates and the wreckage of their ships.
Six or seven pirate ships, gathered at sea, turned into a mass of wreckage scattered across the water within moments.
The only ones left surviving were the tall pirate and the hedgehog-headed pirate who had held the ax tightly.
"It was an attack by the Marines, but what happened?!"
The hedgehog-headed pirate captain recovered from the dizziness caused by the strong explosion, and, seeing the scene around him clearly, felt his throat tighten.
Suddenly, an angry voice sounded: "You bastards! Damn Marines! Even if I didn't want the 1 billion bounty head, I will fight you! How dare you kill my subordinates with a sneak attack!"
This was the tall pirate who saw all his subordinates wiped out.
Grasping the ax, he was ready to hurl it towards the Marine fleet he thought had 'sneaked' up from behind.
"Destroy them all!"
A cold order was issued from the Marine fleet not far away.
Under the gaze of their leader, the Vice Admiral of the Marines, the mohawked, mustachioed Flying Squirrel with a cold face, the dazzling golden light tore through the air again.
The scarred pirate, about to throw his weapon, had no time to react.
The golden light continuously expanded in his pupils and struck head-on!
The next moment, a violent explosion echoed across the sea, and a tall, scorched figure, unsure if alive or dead, fell straight into the water.
At this moment, in the eyes of the only surviving hedgehog-headed pirate captain, looking at the Marine fleet that had 'sneaked' up from behind was terrifying, fear inciting trembling madness from deep within his heart.
Others might not know, but he knew very well that the double-axe "Kimir," the guy with a 29 million bounty, had just been killed directly by the weird means of the Marine fleet behind him.
Winning... impossible!
The hedgehog-headed pirate captain had not the slightest intention of resisting and hastily tried to escape.
But a dazzling light hit him in the panic of turning around.
Boom! A huge explosion at sea set off a splash, adding another pirate corpse to the ocean.
Not far away, on the island...
"God..."
"Then... what was that?!"
"What just happened?!"
"Could that be a Marine's secret weapon?! It killed all those pirates in the blink of an eye!"
"No, no...that's not the point, is it?"
"The real point is! The Marines have finally met that man at sea!"
All kinds of shocked voices continued to sound, and countless people stared at the sea.
I see.
On one side are the five most advanced large warships of the Marines...
They're loaded with tall monsters that resemble the 'tyrant' bears, one of the Shichibukai.
And the reason they're called monsters is that someone witnessed a chilling scene.
Those golden glares that wiped out two pirate groups with bounties in the tens of millions in the blink of an eye...
They actually spewed from the mouths of those 'monsters' on the Marine warship!
Now.
"It's just pointless resistance."
Above the front deck of the lead warship, he noticed countless fearful eyes on the not-so-distant island.
The Flying Squirrel paid no attention to this.
He looked up, surveyed the wreckage left by the pirate ships ahead, and then looked behind.
There, at sea, was a small boat, only large enough to accommodate a single person.
But when one could clearly see the old and strong figure above, even the Marine Vice Admiral known as the Flying Squirrel was shocked and in disbelief at this moment.
When he received information that Bai Ye dared to enter the Grand Line alone, the Flying Squirrel's first reaction was 'impossible'.
The first half of the Grand Line is completely dominated by the Naval Headquarters.
It's a stark contrast to the chaotic North Blue.
An individual who killed the Celestial Dragons dares to enter the Grand Line...
Isn't this akin to flouting the Naval Headquarters and the World Government?
Isn't it a blatant declaration of war against the Marine government?
A retired veteran—how dare you make such a move?
Or is there truly a force behind Bai Ye that aims to resurrect the ambitions of the original Rocks Pirates?
With these thoughts in mind, the Flying Squirrel released a powerful observation haki and found that there was no one behind Bai Ye in the whole sea; he was truly alone.
The anger in the Flying Squirrel's heart reached its peak.
He wasn't worried about Bai Ye's strength; after all, what threat could a retired veteran pose to him, a Naval Headquarters Vice Admiral?
He feared that Bai Ye was a true madman.
If it weren't for the special period when the Naval Headquarters and the Whitebeard Pirates were about to go to war, perhaps the headquarters might have dispatched an admiral to capture Bai Ye alive.
If Bai Ye confessed his past actions...
The Flying Squirrel gritted his teeth and raised his arm, wishing he could kill Bai Ye immediately:
"No matter what you plan to do, the more attention you draw in the world, the more those idiot pirates and forces will realize what a foolish decision it is to fight against the Marine government!"
"Attack!"
Without hesitating, the Flying Squirrel gave orders to the pacifistas behind him.
For a moment, a humming sound filled the air!
The warships beneath the Flying Squirrel's feet, including the decks of the four other ships, were swarming with pacifistas aiming and preparing to fire.
They open their mouths, and dazzling golden lights begin to emerge!
This scene alarmed countless onlookers not far away.
They could clearly see...
Those terrifying 'monsters' that had just fired a dozen golden beams of light and destroyed two pirate groups with rewards in the tens of millions were now preparing...
To unleash all the 'monsters' aboard those five warships to combat one person!
At sea, facing the Flying Squirrel, who did not hide his intent to kill, Bai Ye stood, his eyes growing colder and more indifferent.
"An unforgivable act?"
He held Ryūjin Jakka before him with his left hand and faced the pacifistas at sea, soon to be known for their role in the future Summit Wars.
Bai Ye felt no fear.
In his right hand, the dark purple hilt of Ryūjin Jakka was gripped firmly.
In an instant, the temperature around Bai Ye began to rise dramatically.
The pleasant sea breeze turned into scorching hot winds, and the air became slightly distorted and warped!
At the same time, Ryūjin Jakka's blade began to emit copious amounts of orange-red flames!
The intense heat wave surged into the sky.
Following that, Bai Ye, gripping Ryūjin Jakka, watched as the pacifistas prepared to fire their sky-filling lasers from the naval ships ahead.
"The most unforgivable people… since North Blue, it's been you, hasn't it?"
Visions of purgatory, the destruction of the town where he had lived for over 30 years, flashed before his eyes.
As Bai Ye's voice faded, an overwhelming aura descended!
And there arose dozens of soaring flame pillars, powerful enough to turn a hundred-kilometer radius of earth into scorched wasteland!
They burst forth from the sea!
...
"Hot hell!"
