----------
After half a day of sailing, the Groudon arrived at Punk Hazard, and from a distance, a dense purple toxic mist could be seen covering the island.
Such a harsh environment made survival impossible.
Everyone took a small boat to the island.
Daichi said in a deep voice, "Yamato, I'll leave this to you. If the Marines appear, stop them for me. I'll be back soon."
"Okay!"
Yamato nodded vigorously, looking at the toxic mist on the island, feeling a bit nervous.
Her sense of smell was very keen, and even breathing was uncomfortable at the moment. If she inhaled too much toxic gas, her stomach would definitely hurt.
She would just stay by the shore and not go anywhere!
"Caesar, let's go."
Daichi wore a protective suit and mask.
Although he felt he could resist poison, it was better to be cautious. There was a major battle ahead, and he needed to maintain his best condition as much as possible.
Admiral Aokiji had specifically come to warn him, so it was impossible for him not to discover his whereabouts. Perhaps the Marine fleet was already on its way.
Punk Hazard was once the World Government's most important research institute, and who knew how many scientific research secrets were hidden within it. Therefore, his actions would inevitably touch the Marines' nerves.
But giving up was impossible.
He was no longer a small figure. Even if he chose another time to come, it would be difficult to escape the Marines' surveillance.
Therefore, the sooner the better.
"Shurororo~~"
Caesar's face was full of flattery, completely unaware that a major battle was approaching. "Daichi-sama, do you need me to purify the toxic mist here?"
"Wait a moment."
Daichi shook his head slightly.
If the Marines discovered the toxic mist had disappeared, they would definitely send people back to repair the research institute and put it back into use.
That would halt the production of SMILE.
At this moment, G-1 Branch.
"Ararara, really, I went there for nothing."
Admiral Aokiji looked at the intelligence, his gaze cold.
Daichi's trip to the nearby sea must have had a purpose, but he never expected Daichi's target to be Punk Hazard.
Utterly audacious!
Other places were fine. As long as the commotion wasn't too big, he would turn a blind eye, but Punk Hazard was an absolute untouchable bottom line.
Not only did it contain a large amount of important research data, but Kaido had also been imprisoned there. Daichi's actions were very likely related to Kaido.
At all costs, he must not let the opponent succeed!
"Set sail immediately!"
"Yes!"
G-1 sounded the highest level alert, and a large fleet consisting of several large warships and numerous medium and small warships set out.
"Full speed ahead!"
In just over half an hour, the Marine fleet arrived near Punk Hazard. The massive force almost scared the Beast Pirates.
"How can there be so many warships!"
"That's... Admiral Aokiji!"
"Why would an Admiral appear!"
The pirates were terrified.
Not only was the fleet massive, but even an Admiral had appeared. Even destroying a country wouldn't require such a large formation.
Could there be something special about the island behind them?
Yamato pulled out her spiked club and shouted, "Speed, I'll handle this. You immediately move the ship to the back of the island!"
"Understood!"
Speed instantly moved to the ship and ordered everyone to sail. If the ship was sunk by a warship, they would have nowhere to escape.
The Groudon's movements were detected by the Marines.
The staff officer immediately reported, "Admiral Aokiji, the enemy's ship is escaping!"
"Sink it!"
"Yes!"
The warships advanced at full speed. After approaching the island, half of the warships turned their course to pursue the fleeing Groudon.
All cannons were ready. As soon as the enemy ship entered the shelling range, they could carry out a saturation bombardment. The enemy ship could not escape.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the warship trembled violently.
The Marine soldiers on the deck fell all over the place.
"What happened?"
"Report, the ship's bottom hit a reef!"
"How is that possible? There are no reefs near Punk Hazard!"
The officers rushed to the side of the ship, leaned over, and looked down, quickly discovering the truth.
It was a large area of ice!
The warship did not hit a reef but collided with a thick layer of ice.
"Where did the ice come from?!"
They couldn't understand.
"Your opponent is me!!!"
"Namuji Glacier Fang!"
A young girl's shout came from the shore, followed by a pillar-shaped shockwave that pierced the sea surface, striking the side of the warship!
"Boom!!!"
A violent explosion occurred on the side of the warship, and flames rose!
"Waaahhh!"
"The ammunition depot has been hit!"
"Put out the fire quickly!"
The Marine soldiers were in a panic.
The officers spotted Yamato on the island and immediately issued an order.
"Kill her!"
"Don't go easy!"
"That girl is a pirate!"
The warship was very close to the shore. Some staff officers who mastered the Six Powers stepped on Moonwalk and quickly rushed towards Yamato. The rest of the officers jumped off the warship and got into small boats.
"Moonwalk!"
Commodore Kippin took the lead, stepping on Moonwalk and rushing directly above Yamato. His muscles instantly tensed, his fists wrapped in Haki, and he swooped down!
"Iron Body: Shatter!"
Yamato sensed the attack and quickly jumped backward. The next second, Kippin's fist slammed into the spot where she had just been!
"Boom!"
The rocks within a few meters were dented and shattered!
Yamato steadied herself and immediately stepped forward, rushing towards Kippin. The spiked club in her hand carried lightning and struck towards him!
"So fast!"
Kippin's pupils contracted. He didn't have time to dodge. At the critical moment, he squatted down and exerted all his strength.
"Iron Body: Steel!"
"Thunder Bagua!"
Yamato roared, and the spiked club, wrapped in black lightning, heavily struck Kippin, instantly shattering his Iron Body and sending him flying!
"Ngaaahhh!!!"
Kippin screamed as he disappeared into the sky.
On the warship's artillery platform on the sea.
"Ararara, she's an incredibly strong and beautiful young lady!"
Admiral Aokiji saw the attack just now, his heart filled with shock.
Another unknown powerhouse!
Daichi's sudden appearance had already made the Marines re-evaluate the threat of the Beast Pirates. Now, another super strong girl had appeared.
"Everyone move aside! That girl isn't someone you can easily defeat with numbers. You are not her match!"
Admiral Aokiji leaped into the sky, extending his right hand forward, and ice tridents appeared on both sides of his body.
"Ice Block: Partisan!"
A greeting with an opening move!
Yamato sensed the danger and immediately turned to face the sky, swinging her spiked club to deflect the incoming ice spears to both sides!
"Clang!"
The ice spears pierced the ground, and ice crystals immediately spread outwards.
"Ice?"
Yamato felt the biting cold emanating from the ice spears and couldn't help but shiver. Her muscles relaxed, feeling so comfortable!
"Admiral Aokiji has made his move!"
"Stay away!"
"You'll be caught in the crossfire!"
Seeing Admiral Aokiji make his move, the Marine soldiers immediately ran away. Admiral Aokiji was a Logia-type ability user with an extremely wide attack range. Staying there would only get in the way.
"Ararara, what a handful!"
Admiral Aokiji landed in front of Yamato.
The previous attack was just a test. More than the girl's strength, he was more concerned about her identity within the Beast Pirates.
"Young lady, who are you?"
"Me?"
Yamato shouldered her spiked club, a confident smile on her face.
"My name is Yamato!"
"I am Kaido's daughter!"
