Bullet laughed wildly, once again swinging his fist at Garp.
Although Garp was caught off guard, he quickly stabilized himself and engaged in fierce close-quarters combat with Bullet.
Bullet, as long as he can fight a true strong opponent, he is satisfied! He has no interest in opponents he can easily defeat.
"Main quest completed, 50,000 Berries reward has been credited!"
The system's notification sound echoed in Cheng Xiaoyu's mind; the main quest was complete, and the points were credited.
Cheng Xiaoyu's lips curled slightly; it was time to leave.
"Whoosh!"
Cheng Xiaoyu's figure instantly vanished, using Shadow Exchange, he appeared on the Shadow high in the sky.
These Supernovas' bounties now seemed like small fry; one or two hundred million Berries simply couldn't satisfy his upgrade needs.
It's better to cast a long line to catch a big fish; two years later, when they grow up, he can catch them all in one go.
But if you don't survive the next move, you can't blame me!
At this moment, he saw that the Shichibukai Bartholomew Kuma had already completed his undercover mission, slapping the entire Straw Hat crew away one by one!
It seemed like an attack, but in reality, it was sending them to escape from here.
Although Bartholomew Kuma's strength is formidable, after all, the Paw-Paw Devil Fruit he ate was a Devil Fruit from God's Island back then, on the same level as Four Emperors Kaido's Fish-Fish Devil Fruit.
But to be fair, Luffy's crew at this time was truly weak...
"Eneru, make this Island 1 disappear forever."
Eneru, standing by the ship's rail, bowed slightly: "Understood, Captain."
Under Eneru's modifications, the Shadow already possessed the same capabilities as Eneru's Ark.
Not only could it fly and sail, but it could also release large expanses of thunderclouds, and even more powerfully.
At this moment, Eneru raised both hands, and dark clouds rapidly gathered, obscuring the sky and sun, shrouding the entire island in Shadow.
Black lightning, like wild dancing giant pythons, weaved through the clouds.
"Dark Maelstrom!"
The black lightning roared furiously, and a massive sphere containing black lightning rapidly formed in the sky.
This sphere expanded at a visible speed, completely covering more than half of Island 1 in just a few seconds!
On the island, civilians had already evacuated; the remaining people, whether Marine or Pirate, were dumbfounded.
This thing, does it have to be so exaggerated!
Pluton Rayleigh pushed up the glasses on his nose, "Is this Kid planning to completely destroy this island?"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, this is no joke." Kizaru's usually lazy face also showed a grave expression.
"What the hell is that!?"
Kid's eyes widened as he looked at the black thunderball in the sky.
He always prided himself on his arrogance, always believing his strength was the strongest among the Supernovas, but the destructive scene before him still made his heart palpitate.
"Is this guy... crazy?" Law clutched his chest, barely supporting himself, his face extremely pale.
"A sign of great misfortune! A sign of great misfortune! Survival rate 30%." The tarot cards in the fortune teller Hawkins's hand scattered all over the ground.
...
Garp also felt a great sense of unease at the sight! He wanted to stop it, but Bullet was still pester him below.
He gritted his teeth; to minimize losses, all he could do was shout at the Marine soldiers: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
As the Marine retreat signal was given, the soldiers awoke as if from a dream, scrambling to run towards the warships docked at the shore.
The Pirates also didn't care about anything else; treasures, face, none of it mattered in the face of death, and they all scurried away, desperately rushing back to their ships.
"My Dark Maelstrom is complete! Captain, what do you say? Should I drop it directly?" Eneru asked.
"Good, it looks good, then let's finish up! Everyone return!"
At Cheng Xiaoyu's command, all the Shadows still fighting on the ground instantly vanished from the ground, returning to his Shadow.
Only Bullet was still reluctant: "Garp, it seems the outcome of this battle can only be decided when we meet next time!"
"Damn it, damn it... It's all my fault for being careless, not dealing with you directly last time!"
Seeing this situation, Garp had already anticipated how great the Marine casualties would be today, and he also regretted not killing Cheng Xiaoyu last time.
"It's useless to say anything now, Vice Admiral Garp, see you next time!" Cheng Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"Hmph!"
With a low growl from Eneru, the colossal black thunderball, like a meteor, descended from the sky, smashing fiercely onto this Island 1.
"Boom—"
The deafening explosion echoed through the sky, and the entire world seemed to tremble!
The moment the thunderball touched the ground, blinding black light instantly swallowed everything, and the terrifying electrical power released directly reduced the entire Island 1 to ashes!
Immediately after, a terrifying shockwave swept across the sea, pushing the surrounding seawater hundreds of meters away!
Sabaody Archipelago Island 1 was completely erased from the sea chart.
The Shadow high in the sky slowly sailed away, leaving only churning seawater and lingering smoke.
On the Shadow, Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the island swallowed by lightning below, a satisfied smile curving his lips.
"Eneru, well done."
"The destructive power of your Dark Maelstrom is even stronger than I imagined." Cheng Xiaoyu exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Eneru, standing behind him, proudly rubbed his nose.
"Hehe, of course, my Maelstrom was already powerful enough, and with Captain's Shadow power, its destructive force is no joke!"
The aftershocks of the explosion gradually subsided, and the sea surface returned to calm, leaving only some floating wood chips and debris.
"By the way, Captain, where are we going next?" Eneru asked.
Cheng Xiaoyu looked up at the sky, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "To Nine Serpent Island."
"Captain, are you planning to experience the Empress's charm?"
"Empress Boa Hancock, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, a Love-Love Devil Fruit user, possessing beauty that can topple nations, rumored to make any man fall at her feet..."
"I know that, of course, falling at her feet is impossible; what I want is conquest! I can't let that brat Luffy get the upper hand!"
Under Eneru's control, the Shadow flew towards Nine Serpent Island.
Since the Shadow could fly, they didn't need to coat their ship specifically to go to Fish-Man Island like other Pirates, which undoubtedly saved a lot of time and effort.
...
Marineford, Marineford.
Sengoku looked at the report in his hand, his face terribly grim.
"Sabaody Archipelago Island 1 completely destroyed... Garp injured, Kizaru missing... Three Marine fleets with over 70% casualties! All Supernovas escaped..."
"That Shadow Pirates... what is their origin?"
"Bullet... actually joined his ranks..."
Sengoku felt a headache coming on, rubbing his temples; the Four Emperors crews of the New World were already giving him enough trouble.
"It seems it's time to hold a meeting..."
