Pirate, I am the demon fox that brings disaster to the world!

"Colonel Gion, it is very likely that someone has already obtained the Operation Fruit. What should we do next?

General Zhan Guo...do you have any further instructions?"

On Mignon Island, when Gion hung up the Den Den Mushi, the adjutant who was waiting eagerly on the side couldn't help but ask.

"Whoo~"

Finally, he took a deep look at the silent Den Den Mushi, took a few deep breaths, relaxed his tense mind, and then said solemnly,

"Let's get everyone ready for battle. Next, we have to do our best to delay Yakumo Shirai here to buy time for Sister Tsuru and the others to arrive!"

"!! Yes! Colonel Gion!"

Upon hearing this, the adjutant's face was obviously surprised and solemn for a moment, but the elite of the Navy Headquarters would naturally not shrink back because of this. After responding to Gion seriously, the adjutant took firm steps and ran towards the gathered marines.

"Zheng——"

While his marines were making final preparations for the battle, Gion casually pulled out the Kinpila tied around his waist, with his armed Haki wrapped around it. He held the hilt tightly with both hands, and aimed the blade, which was flashing with cold light, at the Tamamo anchored on the shore.

"Before the battle begins, I'll cut off one of your escape routes!"

(Taoyuan·Slash!)

A dazzling slash suddenly appeared, and the more than ten-meter-long edge seemed to be about to cut the ship in front of it in half in the next moment. However, the Tamamo, which Yakumo Shira had spent a lot of resources to build, would naturally not allow it to be destroyed at will.

In just a blink of an eye, with a burst of lightning, nine snow-white fox tails suddenly bloomed in the air. At the same time, an equally sharp slash followed closely with a frivolous one.

"Miss Navy~ The Tamamo is my beloved vehicle. If it is destroyed, I will be very distressed~"

"Bam—"

The two slashes collided violently, and the air waves generated by the collision quickly spread rapidly in all directions. The sudden counterattack not only made the marines tense up, but also made Gion's expression suddenly gloomy.

"It seems he has succeeded...

This is not good. I didn't expect the timing to be so unfortunate. It will be difficult to hold him back now."

Gion's mind was racing for a moment, and he was inevitably depressed. At the same time, he was secretly observing the long-heard name of Yakumo Haku with vigilance.

First of all, there is no doubt that the other party's bounty order is indeed genuine - well... it's the same as what's on the bounty order... no, it's far better than the photo on the bounty order? !

∑(O_O;)

Startled by the thought that popped up in his mind, Zhiyuan felt annoyed and suddenly became more alert.

"Such a strange charm... No wonder everyone is bragging about this guy's reputation as the 'most beautiful woman in the world'. Even the queen of the Amazon Lily is only slightly inferior to her...

Fortunately, Boa Hancock is the only one who has the ability to petrify others, otherwise..."

Thinking of this, Zhiyuan couldn't help but glance sideways at the female soldiers and... male soldiers behind him whose expressions had some fluctuations. He felt secretly lucky but also a little helpless.

Although the Navy has always emphasized that justice is far more important than anything else and is worthy of everyone's lifelong dedication, and everyone is discussing justice and virtue, it must be admitted that humans are always emotional animals. Except for a very small number of people, everyone is not immune to the temptation of gold, power, reputation, and beauty...

It was no wonder that they lost their minds because they were facing a nine-tailed white fox that existed almost only in fantasy. Its eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as pictures, its skin was whiter than snow, its facial features were so delicate that they seemed unreal, and its tail was soft and flexible, shining with a pure and soft luster in the sun...

Faced with such an existence, even I, who followed Vice Admiral Tsuru and prided myself on being strong-willed, almost lost my mind, let alone these inexperienced marines?

"I didn't expect that the Navy would break their promise? Logically, there are still three days left before the devil fruit transaction, right?

Why is the Navy coming to this island at this time? Is it trying to take the initiative?

Or is it for some other purpose?"

Yakumo Shiro jumped down from the air, and Maria and others behind him arrived in time, much faster than expected, and the tense confrontation between the two sides had begun.

"Humph! Before you answer this question, why don't you explain why you are here? Yakumo Shiro!

Why did the fox from the Beasts Pirates come to the North Sea instead of staying in the New World? Pirates are not welcome here! "

The heroic female navy captain asked fiercely with her eyes wide open. Although what she said was true, this aggressive attitude was really unsatisfactory. They were the navy! And the other party was a pirate! How could the other party be so righteous with such identities?

"Me? Of course we are here for vacation. After all, the scenery of the North Sea is really nice. Especially the people of this winter island are so warm and hospitable. Not only do they want to keep us as guests, they also insisted on giving us gifts as a farewell gift~"

As he spoke, Yakumo Shiro took out the surgery fruit and weighed it in his hand. Finally, he looked at Gion with a playful look and said,

"However, the one who surprised me the most was you, Miss Gion. Let me guess. Since you were ordered to retrieve the Operation Fruit, after you unexpectedly met me, the ones following you are Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru, right?

You want to destroy my ship, leaving me with no way out and no choice but to wait for the fate of being surrounded and attacked. In order to achieve this goal, Miss Gion, you might even sink all the warships behind you... If necessary, you will do it even at the cost of yourself!

Haha~ It’s a heroic spirit, but it’s useless!

Overestimating your own abilities is not a good thing. It will only lead to unnecessary sacrifices."

"..."

Silence. Facing Yakumo Bai's in-depth analysis, Gion could only respond with silence. At the same time, a bitter feeling rose in his heart - the other party knew much more about this transaction... no, Yakumo Bai knew much more about the navy than he had guessed!

Not only did he know the content, time, and location of the transaction, he also knew the Navy's representative and even his own name! At this moment, he was able to infer what might happen just by his presence here!

Wisdom is close to that of a demon! I have only felt this feeling from Vice Admiral Tsuru and Admiral Sengoku before, but I didn't expect to have a similar experience again from a young and powerful pirate.

"Humph! So what if it is, so what if it isn't?

No matter what, I won't let you get away today!

Just as you said, even at my own expense!"

With both hands tightly holding the Konpila, Gion pursed his lips and stared at Yakumo Haku intently. Since his plan had been seen through by the other party, there was nothing to worry about.

Fight! The simplest and most direct method, even if you fall, you must get up again! Until the arrival of the navy fleet, this is your mission!
