In a certain sea area of the Grand Line, a Marine warship cut through the churning waves, sailing toward Twin Capes and the entrance to Paradise. On its bridge, Vice Admiral Vlad stood tall, his eyes burning with a fire of revenge.
Vlad was the older brother of Lieutenant General Viktor, who Andy had killed in the West Blue. As soon as he heard that Andy had entered the Grand Line, he immediately set off, determined to avenge his beloved younger brother!
"Vice Admiral Vlad, a notice has arrived from Marine Headquarters!" Major Thorne, his adjutant, rushed over, holding a document tightly in his hand with a solemn expression.
"A notice from Marine Headquarters?" Vlad frowned, a hint of surprise in his heart. He clearly heard that it was a notice, not an order. A notice meant that a major incident had occurred, and all Marines needed to be informed. Receiving a notice at this time made Vlad wonder if something had gone wrong in the New World.
With a heavy and puzzled heart, Vlad took the document and slowly opened it. As he read the contents, his face instantly turned ashen, as if covered by a layer of frost. The notice was about Red Hawk! It detailed Red Hawk's movements and atrocities: on his first day at Erguotou Mountain, he massacred a bounty hunter organization; on the second day, Lieutenant General Lucas, Deputy Commander of Marine G-10 Fortress, led a warship to surround him, but was completely annihilated, and Lucas also met a tragic end.
After an evaluation, Marine Headquarters determined that Red Hawk's current strength was beyond what an ordinary Vice Admiral could handle. To avoid unnecessary casualties, Marine Headquarters instructed all Marines of Vice Admiral rank and below to avoid provoking Red Hawk, and Marine Headquarters would directly take responsibility for any issues he caused.
After reading the notice, Vlad felt an inexplicable surge of anger, as if the notice was specifically aimed at him. Marine Headquarters was forbidding Vice Admirals from acting, so how could he, a Vice Admiral, avenge his beloved brother?
"Purupuru purupuru..."
Just as Vlad was filled with frustration, the sharp ring of a Den Den Mushi sounded, irritating him even more. He impatiently took it out. "Hello?"
"Vice Admiral Vlad, you must be troubled by the notice issued by Marine Headquarters, aren't you? Oh ho ho ho..." A teasing voice came from the Den Den Mushi, as if deliberately provoking Vlad's anger.
"Who are you?" Vlad's voice was low, filled with a chilling coldness as he suppressed his fury.
"Warlord Hanafza," the voice from the Den Den Mushi was calm yet somewhat arrogant, as if indifferent to everything.
"Tch," Vlad sneered, his words full of mockery. "So it's the pirate Hanafza. What business do you have with this Vice Admiral?"
Hanafza heard the disdain in Vlad's words, but he wasn't angry. He still laughed strangely. "Oh ho ho ho... Vice Admiral Vlad, you must be eager to avenge your brother, Lieutenant General Viktor, right?"
Hearing this, Vlad's face instantly darkened again, and he gritted his teeth. "What do you want, Hanafza?"
Hanafza didn't answer directly, but changed the subject. "Based on the abilities Red Hawk displayed this time, don't you Marines find it strange? Red Hawk is a rare Spatial Devil Fruit user, and this time, Lieutenant General Lucas used many Seastone weapons and even hit him. But according to the intel, Seastone had no effect on Red Hawk whatsoever! Why can Red Hawk be immune to the restraining effect of Seastone, Vice Admiral Vlad? Aren't you curious?"
After hearing Hanafza's words, Vlad's heart stirred, and a knowing smile appeared on his face. "Hanafza, so that's what you're planning..."
"I think we can cooperate," Hanafza no longer beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose. "I want the technology that makes Red Hawk immune to Seastone, and Red Hawk's life is yours."
Vlad was silent for a moment, his mind rapidly weighing the pros and cons. Finally, he gritted his teeth and agreed to Hanafza's proposal. "Alright."
"Pleasure working with you." Hanafza finished speaking, and the Den Den Mushi's eyes slowly drooped.
Vlad also put away the Den Den Mushi. He looked out at the surging sea, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes. "Red Hawk, this time, you must die!"
In the Floran Kingdom, after Hanafza put down the Den Den Mushi, a look of madness appeared on his face. He never expected that there was a technology in the world that could make Devil Fruit users immune to Seastone's restraint. He absolutely had to get this technology!
Meanwhile, far away on Erguotou Mountain, Andy was completely unaware of the impending conspiracies. He was currently massaging Madame Serena. In his opinion, as long as one's strength was sufficient, any scheme or trick was merely a mantis trying to stop a chariot in the face of absolute power.
"Lord Red Hawk!"
"Oh... Oh!!!"
"You massage so comfortably!!!"
After Andy massaged Madame Serena's last pressure point, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength and slumped softly onto the bed. Fine beads of fragrant sweat covered her forehead, sliding down her cheeks, almost soaking her thin clothes and outlining her graceful figure.
Andy looked at Madame Serena, whose face was flushed. This woman was clearly physically and mentally at ease. But his hands were dead tired from massaging, and clear dissatisfaction appeared on his face. "Madame Serena, we clearly agreed that you would massage me. How did it turn into me massaging you?"
Serena rolled her eyes at Andy, the charm in her eyes like the most enchanting flowers in spring, captivating his soul. Coupled with her sweat-soaked, voluptuous body with every curve revealed, this was indeed one of the world's rare beautiful sights.
"It... it wasn't... it wasn't Lord Andy who... who said he wanted to try if his skills were good enough..." Madame Serena's breathing was still uneven, her voice soft and broken as she explained in between breaths.
"Hmm... Looking at how you are now, Madame Serena, I feel my skills are indeed good," Andy frowned slightly, seemingly deep in thought.
Madame Serena rolled her eyes at Andy again. She looked at this tall man and secretly grumbled to herself that he only knew how to boast. But it was fine, Andy's massage just now was very comfortable, she was very happy, and her two days of teaching him various massage techniques were not in vain. Lord Red Hawk's massage was truly too comfortable!
