One Piece: One Hundred Demons

Hearing Joya's words, Erica closed her eyes and gradually loosened her clenched fists.

"Hey, Navy. Give me a ride."

Looking at Erica who had lowered her guard, Gioia's eyes were a little complicated.

"is it okay?"

"Of course, it's not bad to die in the hands of a man who pleases me."

A smile appeared on Erica's face, very clean and gentle, no longer crazy or crazy.

"I don't know how many people I have killed in my life. Death in the hands of the navy is considered my destiny. Take that knife with you. It was forged by me with a heart of steel."

Looking at Erica who was mumbling with her eyes closed, Gioia frowned and her raised palms trembled slightly.

Qiao Ya asked himself that he would not show mercy to the pirates. His family was destroyed by the pirates, and he hated the pirates from the bottom of his heart.

But now facing Erica who confided her feelings, Gioia still hesitated. Even if this woman was heinous, there would still be a trace of pity in Gioia's heart.

"This is not possible. A strong man must have a heart of steel."

A pair of small hands lifted up to hold Qiao Ya's palm and pulled it down sharply.

Qiao Ya was caught off guard and was even dragged forward. By the time he reacted, his palm had already pierced Erica's chest.

The blood-stained little hand tremblingly reached out to Qiao Ya's face. Qiao Ya did not dodge and allowed the palm to stick to her face.

"Ah, how beautiful..."

The luster in Erica's eyes gradually dimmed, and her palms fell weakly by her side.

Erica, the "Iron Witch" who controlled the world's largest drug trade and the queen of the dark world, is now dead on this unknown steel island.

Pulling out his palm, bright red blood dripped onto the ground.

"Farewell, Steel... no, Erica."

Turning around and leaving the pit, the word justice behind Gioia was particularly dazzling in the sunset.

"A knife forged from a heart of steel."

Pulling out the blade that was stuck on the ground, this was the knife that Erica used before. The blade was slender and not heavy in the hand. It could even be said to be a little light.

The blade is sheathed, and Gioia holds it in his hand. This knife will accompany Gioia and witness the growth of his heart of steel.

"Is that witch dead, Joya?"

"Her name is Erica, and she is dead."

He and Noah helped Shinra up, and Gioia looked back in the direction of the pit.

The three people supported him and gradually left the place that was once the lake in the center of the island.

On the warship on the coast, Siduri and Robin leaned on the guardrail and looked toward the depths of the island.

You must know that the roaring lion-headed shadow just now was clearly visible even to them, and the loud noises caused by the two consecutive explosions were even more deafening.

"That...that's them, they're all back."

Robin squinted her eyes, and three people appeared in her field of vision. After looking around, she finally determined that it was Gioia and the three of them.

"Sir Gioia!"

Seeing Siduri running away from the warship with a lot of bandages on her body, Robin smiled and shook her head and followed.

"Hey, Sidhu...how did you get injured like this?"

As soon as he raised his arm to say hello, Qiao Ya immediately noticed that many parts of Siduli's body were bandaged, and his face instantly darkened.

Seeing that Qiao Ya's face turned a little ugly, Siduli didn't know how to speak better.

"Your warship was attacked by an old man, but he was very strong. Siduli successfully eliminated him and protected everyone on board."

The person who hugged Siduri from behind was Robin.

"Old man? It should be the Arn that Shinra mentioned. Now we just need to be wary of the man named Jakajack."

His face became a little better, but Joya did not relax. After all, Shinra said that Erica had two very strong subordinates.

Now it seems that one of them has been taken care of by Siduri and Robin, so just be wary of the other one.

"Jakajack? That fur-tribe leopard man has died in my hands."

Hearing Noah's words, Gioia was stunned. One was taken care of by Siduli, and the other was taken care of by Noah. In other words, there was no one left?

"Well, well done."

He patted Noah on the shoulder awkwardly, and Qiao Ya smiled helplessly.

"Major General Joestar, we are the medical team. Commander Shinra, leave it to us."

Several marines trotted over, carrying a stretcher.

"Well, please."

Hand Shinra over to the medical team. In this battle, Shinra was the most seriously injured. Now he is in a coma, and he doesn't know how long he will need to recover.

"Sir Gioia, are you okay?"

He looked at Gioia carefully up and down. Gioia, like Noah, looked miserable, but they were all fine.

"It's a big problem, but please contact the headquarters first."

"Yes, Chief Gioia."

The group of people returned to the warship bustlingly, and Gioia and Noah began to receive treatment and bandaging respectively.

Gioia, who was naked to the upper body, sat on a chair. The medical staff on the side treated Gioia's wounds, especially the fist mark on his chest. After taking off his clothes, the dark fist mark was still very obvious.

"This is Admiral Sengoku of the Navy Headquarters."

"Report, Marshal, this is Rear Admiral Joestar Gioia of the Navy Headquarters."

Hearing Sengoku's voice, Gioia straightened up subconsciously.

"Oh, Joya, what happened? Didn't you go to Alabasta?"

Warring States on the other side heard that it was Gioia and put down the documents in his hands. He had just applied for navigation rights to Alabasta a few days ago. It should be okay to contact him at this time.

And I heard from Garp that Alabasta’s royal family, the Neferutali family, and the Joestar family are close friends, so there shouldn’t be any problems.

"We encountered a little situation on the way to Alabasta."

"tell me the story."

After a while, Gioia briefly described the encounter with an unknown island and the situation on the island. Finally, he met the Hido Pirates and killed the Iron Witch and his party.

"marshal?"

Hearing that there was no movement on the other side of the phone, Qiao Ya asked cautiously.

"You kid..."

The phone bug imitated Sengoku's expression perfectly, and Gioia seemed to see Sengoku's twitching eyebrows.

"What a beautiful job, hahaha!"

Seng Guo's laughter made Joya's ears numb, but he felt relieved when Seng Guo said this.

"But I advise you to return to the Navy Headquarters immediately."

"Why, Marshal."

Pushing Siduli's little hand away, Siduli just poked Qiao Ya's arm several times.

"Don't make trouble," Qiao Ya gave Siduli a warning look. As expected, Siduli was much more honest.

"If the Iron Witch dies, the whole world will know about it in a few minutes. If you don't want to be blocked in the East China Sea by the guys from the Dark World, you should hurry back to the Navy Headquarters."

Qiao Ya listened to Seng Guo's words with his mouth open. It seemed that he had done something big?
