Half a day's time, not long, not short.
Under Cavendish's impatient urging, the ship finally arrived at the Capon family's headquarters, Rocca Noya Island.
"This is the Capon family's base, isn't it?"
Money makes the world go round. After inquiring with the island's residents, Fujitora and Cavendish quickly found the Capon family's headquarters.
It was a giant fortress with extremely strict defenses. Its sturdiness was comparable to some Marine branch fortresses, even capable of withstanding continuous bombardment from ordinary cannons. Simply by sensing with Observation Haki, Fujitora could roughly tell that there were at least two to three thousand people inside.
As one of the five major underworld families in the West Blue, the Capon family's foundation was solid.
"My Lord, I once heard that the boss of the Capon family, Capone Bege, is a rather cruel man. He likes to cut off living beings' heads and watches their remaining limbs struggle painfully, which excites him endlessly. A rather perverse fellow..."
That navigator was from the West Blue. He had only joined the ill-fated pirate ship captain and entered the Grand Line in the past two years, so he naturally had some rumors about Capone Bege.
Looking at the brightly lit fortress, a sharp black blade was drawn. Fujitora grinned strangely: "Then let's launch a frontal assault!"
"Tonight, there's no moonlight..."
Cavendish pouted, displeased.
He estimated this fortress was specially designed by Capone Bege to prevent his enemies from finding him.
The thickness of the fortress walls alone, he estimated that with his current slashes, it would be difficult to directly cut through them.
If faced with a dense hail of bullets, dozens of fire cannons, or cannon attacks, although he wasn't afraid, it would be somewhat troublesome.
In this pitch-black night, if they dragged it out too long, it would be hard to guarantee that the target wouldn't simply escape through some underground passage. Capone Bege's enemies were numerous, and he surely had some escape routes prepared.
"If there's no moonlight, as long as it's not the exact opposite side, sometimes I can roughly determine its position. This old man also studied astronomy in my previous life..."
"Who is it!?"
"Bang! Bang!"
A guard discovered the approaching figures and began firing warning shots, shouting sternly.
Fujitora chuckled grimly. He reversed his grip on the black sword, and began accumulating gravity. It was as if purple lightning was intertwining: "Just that there's no need to summon the giant stone. If I'm not careful, I'll directly crush that guy to death..."
His Observation Haki, however, had not yet reached the point where he could directly distinguish how strong his target actually was. Furthermore, there were quite a few guards in this fortress.
"Gravity Blade - Ferocious Tiger!"
The jet-black blade fiercely slashed out.
"Thump—"
The gravitational field instantly twisted.
A ferocious horizontal gravity directly pressed down.
"Roar!!!"
Not only were the gang members rushing forward instantly turned into a bloody mist, but even the tall, sturdy fortress walls were crushed like rotten wood, shattering into dust upon impact.
It was as if a massive earthquake had occurred. The entire fortress swayed violently, and even a corner of it directly collapsed.
However, to prevent accidentally directly killing the target that needed to be captured alive, Fujitora still suppressed most of his power and didn't act too wildly. Otherwise, destroying this fortress would have been too easy.
"What!?"
In the garden behind the fortress, a short, stout man smoking a cigar and wearing a striped suit, who was taking a stroll, was caught off guard and thrown to the ground, his face instantly changing drastically...
"What's going on?"
"Enemy attack, enemy attack..."
"Dong dong dong~~ Dong dong~~"
Confused shouts and horn sounds rang out.
A group of gangsters, armed with guns, rocket launchers, and other weapons, continuously rushed towards the crumbling fortress walls at top speed.
A large, dense mass of black, their aura indeed seemed somewhat intimidating.
"I'll leave it to you, Cavendish!"
Fujitora directly motioned to Cavendish. Fujitora himself had no interest in these thugs, who weren't even worth half a straw.
"Hey, hey, don't order me around, bae! You guy..."
Cavendish's eyes widened, almost directly glaring at Fujitora's head. He complained with gritted teeth: "Strictly speaking, this young master is several years older than you!"
"Hmm, hmm~~~"
Pushing this guy aside, Fujitora couldn't help but say, "I'm giving you a chance to practice."
"Only three enemies?"
"What kind of method did he use to actually directly blow open the fortress?!"
"First, catch these three guys, then we'll talk. We absolutely cannot let them off easily!!!"
A group of gang members rushed forward with murderous intent. There were even hundreds of cavalry, making people somewhat wide-eyed and tongue-tied.
Upon seeing that there were only three enemies, they were all somewhat disbelieving, but then they furiously shouted. They even thought that the reason the fortress collapsed was because Fujitora and his team used some kind of explosive.
"Three people?"
Capone Bege, his face ashen and filled with incomparable anger, descended with his guards. He looked at Fujitora and Cavendish, and his pupils couldn't help but constrict.
In his heart, a strong sense of unease inexplicably arose.
But before he could think further, the unease in his heart was directly confirmed.
"Hmph!"
Displeased or not, Cavendish's movements were not slow. A black shadow shot directly from beneath his feet, rushing towards the gang members who were swarming forward and firing at them.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
"Boom, boom..."
The sound of shattering air was incessant. Dense bullets, mixed with scattered rockets, shot towards the few people.
"Swish! Swish!"
Cavendish, along with his shadow, instantly turned into afterimages, darting out like a strong wind.
"Ah ah ah..."
Accompanied by screams, sharp holy sword Durandal and a jet-black shadow blade continuously reaped the lives of those gang members.
Those bullets and rockets simply couldn't catch or even touch their figures...
"This guy, damn him!"
Capone Bege's face turned grim at this sight.
The opponent's speed was so terrifying that even dense bullets couldn't catch them. He was inexplicably feeling a chill.
"Capone Bege, is that right?"
The purple figure, which appeared like lightning in front of him, directly made him sense a strong crisis. Capone Bege, who was about to decisively retreat, was covered in cold sweat!
This guy was too conspicuous.
A typical gangster boss's demeanor, surrounded by those gang members, wearing high-end clothes, and even smoking a cigar. Fujitora naturally wouldn't easily let him slip away!
"Bang, bang, bang..."
His right hand, his palm, directly aimed at the fortress!
A "small door" appeared in his palm, constantly spraying flames...
