This battle even made a satisfying roar rise from the depths of his heart...
At this moment, he should be able to get close to that terrifying guy, right?
However, just as the two were fighting more and more fiercely, a leisurely voice drifted over.
"Ah, really scary."
Instantly, Teach, who was still attacking Lucci, had a drastic change of expression. He suddenly raised his head and looked toward the person who had appeared here at some unknown time, wearing sunglasses even late at night.
A chill once again enveloped his entire body!
Admiral... Kizaru!
Damn it, why did this guy come here too!
Although this guy had been defeated by Ian two years ago, he would not dare to underestimate an Admiral from Marine Headquarters.
You have to know that it is an Admiral!
Even if his Pops ran into one, he would have to treat it with caution.
Damn World Government, after so many years, are they still unwilling to let him go?
He had indeed long guessed that a stronger opponent was waiting for him in the shadows, but he never expected... That the World Government would actually dispatch an Admiral.
Clearly, from the moment he was born until now, he has done nothing at all!
"I have to run, I must run. I'm not this guy's opponent."
At the moment he saw Borsalino, the thought of escaping surged up again, and it was precisely during this moment of distraction that Lucci seized the opportunity.
Finger Pistol: Yellow Lotus!
Armament Haki wrapped around his sharp claws as he continuously jabbed Finger Pistol strikes into Teach's body, directly catching Teach completely off guard.
The intense pain snapped Teach back to his senses. Without any hesitation, enduring the pain, he quickly turned around and sprinted forward.
He had to escape!
Only…
Whoosh!
A beam of light appeared and shot straight out from behind Teach, piercing straight through his abdomen. But it only made Teach stagger slightly. He still stubbornly stood back up and frantically ran forward.
At this moment, his instinct to survive filled his entire mind, making him have no desire whatsoever to engage an Admiral in battle.
And seeing that Teach could still stand up, Lucci immediately used Shave, instantly appearing behind Teach.
But someone was even faster than him. A golden flash streaked by; in the blink of an eye, Borsalino had already appeared in front of Teach while raising his right leg.
Light-speed kick!
"Bang!"
Teach was sent flying, but Borsalino, seeming to notice something, once again, transformed into a flash of golden light.
And as Teach looked at Borsalino, who appeared in front of him again, horror appeared on Teach's face, and his heart roared once more.
Damn it!!!
Only this time, it was already over.
With just a single exchange, Borsalino had already stepped on his chest. A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out as he was stomped directly into the ground.
"As expected of the son of the captain of the Rocks Pirates."
Borsalino leisurely lit a cigarette while looking at Teach beneath his foot, violently spitting blood, and said slowly: "Ah, how scary!"
"Admiral Kizaru."
At this time, Lucci had also rushed over. Looking at Teach being stepped on by Admiral Kizaru, a trace of regret appeared on his face.
Then he said to Borsalino, "Actually, there was no need for you to act. I could have handled it myself!"
"Your strength is indeed not bad."
In response, Borsalino did not say much, only giving Lucci a deep look and saying calmly, "I didn't expect that the CP9 organization would have someone like you. Truly worthy of being called a once-in-800-years genius by the CP organization!"
"Thank you for the praise. Shall we escort him back to Enies Lobby now?"
"No, wait a little. There's still one little mouse that hasn't been dealt with."
Borsalino directly extended his right hand, raised his index finger, forming a gun gesture.
With that strange mouth of his, he slowly let out a whoosh sound. Only then did he lift his foot and say to the puzzled Lucci beside him: "That's enough. Let's go!"
"Yes, Admiral Kizaru!"
As Borsalino's order was given, the CP9 members who could still move all stood up, took out the tools they had brought, and directly bound the unconscious Teach. Facing such a terrifying guy, they did not dare to be careless at all and tied him up tightly.
Then, after giving a salute to Borsalino once more, they did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately set off, preparing to first take the man back to Enies Lobby, and then send him to Marine Headquarters as quickly as possible.
And Borsalino... Did not leave immediately. He removed the cigarette from the corner of his mouth, flicked it, and gazed deeply in one direction while muttering to himself: "Zephyr-sensei... Was it intentional?"
...
What happened last night seemed not to have caused much of a stir within Water 7.
In fact, the vast majority of people did not even know that a fierce battle had taken place in a hidden alley of Water 7 the previous night.
Everyone believed that the loud explosion last night was probably just because the waves were a bit big.
The next day, all of Water 7 was still immersed in the mask carnival. And just as Ian, who had gone to bed late last night, was about to enjoy a good sleep-in…
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A burst of intense knocking sounded, immediately startling all three awake.
"Ian (Mr. Ian)."
Ian: "..."
Ian helplessly opened his eyes.
After letting the two people beside him continue sleeping, he directly picked up the clothes at the side, casually put them on, opened the door, walked out, and then closed the door again.
Looking at Ace and the Straw Hat crew in front of him, and then glancing at Zephyr, who was playing with the children.
He yawned and said in a lazy tone, "Give me a reason. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Sorry, I apologize for Luffy's recklessness, Mr. Ian."
Hearing Ian's words, Ace was the first to bow while speaking with an apologetic tone. "The matter is really too serious. Please rest assured, I will properly teach him a lesson later."
This guy, Ace, would always show a bit of an older brother's steadiness in front of Luffy.
