Soon after, Andy and Kalifa arrived at the town's broadcasting station. After chasing out the people there, he had Kalifa adjust the equipment.
Once it was ready, Andy immediately began to broadcast.
"Hello, hello, hello~"
"Can everyone hear me?"
Suddenly, Andy's voice blared from the town's loudspeakers. Kalifa had turned the volume to maximum, so everyone in the entire town heard it.
Everyone emerged from their homes or wherever they were, then looked towards the direction of the loudspeaker broadcast.
"I have something to say, something that concerns everyone's lives.
First, let me introduce myself. My name is Garfield Andy.
Some of you might not know who I am, but that's okay. You'll definitely know my other name.
Red Hawk!
That's right, the West Sea's Ultimate Evil that the World Government has been publicizing!
I believe now that you know who I am, you must be so scared you've wet your pants, right?
Ya hahaha!!!" Andy's wild and unrestrained laughter, tinged with a hint of mockery, echoed in the air.
——
"Red Hawk!"
"It's Red Hawk!"
"He... what does he want to do? Does he want to go on a rampage here?"
"This devil..."
Upon hearing Andy reveal his name, the people in town instantly became terrified. Everyone knew Red Hawk's infamous reputation. What did he want to do with a broadcast now?
——
"Ahem~"
"Alright, I won't scare you anymore. I said there's something life-threatening I need to tell you.
"Hmm..."
"Please remember every word I'm about to say.
"The Celestial Dragon who came here yesterday is dead. Yes, you heard me right, a Celestial Dragon died on this island.
"Therefore.
"To vent their anger, the World Government has ordered the Marine to dispatch 15 warships, preparing to launch a Buster Call on Chronos Forest, making everyone here die with that Celestial Dragon!
"They will arrive in one day.
"Hmm..."
"That's the situation. Those who want to live can escape. Remember to escape early, okay? It's fine if you don't go, anyway, it's you who'll die.
"Ya hahaha~"
After a burst of wild laughter, Andy's voice abruptly stopped.
It wasn't that Andy didn't want to laugh anymore; it was that the large loudspeaker had been shot down by Kizaru.
"Red Hawk, let's have a fight, otherwise this old man won't be able to report back..." Kizaru's lazy and somewhat troubled voice came from outside the broadcasting station's window.
"Clang!" Kizaru's response was the crisp sound of a sword being drawn.
The Crimson Demon in Andy's hand was unsheathed, and a sharp, cold, scarlet slash instantly cut through the outer wall of the broadcasting station building, fiercely striking towards Kizaru.
"Oh, how scary~"
Kizaru showed an exaggerated expression of fear on his face, and before his annoying voice faded, his body was cut in half at the waist.
His body, severed into two, fell straight to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Everyone who witnessed this scene had their mouths wide open, their eyes filled with disbelief. An Admiral was just taken down by Red Hawk like that?
But in the next moment.
Kizaru's upper body instantly transformed into countless specks of light, flying towards the cut surface of his lower body, and in a blink of an eye, Kizaru's complete body was reassembled.
As soon as his body was fully restored, the broadcasting station building collapsed with a roar, falling precisely where Kizaru had been standing.
Kizaru immediately flew away to dodge. He just wanted a reason to explain when he returned; he didn't want to end up looking disheveled.
On the rooftop of the building next to the collapsed broadcasting station, Andy watched Kizaru, who was suspended in mid-air, with a playful look in his eyes. He felt that this guy was quite amusing.
At this moment, Kalifa had already left. With Andy and Kizaru fighting, her meager strength would only get in the way if she stayed.
Moreover, she still had a mission: to find a Permanent Log Pose to reach the next island, and the shipbuilding company had them.
As the roar of the broadcasting station's collapse spread, regardless of whether others ran or not, those who feared death and the wealthy people in town certainly fled.
They all frantically packed their luggage and swarmed towards the coast.
The docks by the sea instantly became bustling, and the Captains of the passenger and merchant ships couldn't stop smiling.
Finally, it was their turn for this wave of business.
CP9's Lucci, Kaku, and a few others also took this opportunity to go to the local shipyard, steal a ship, and enter the forest to cut down the specific timber they needed this time.
Watching the townspeople flee, Kizaru felt very troubled. If everyone ran away, what would the Buster Call even bomb then?
But they couldn't stop these people from escaping, after all, who knew if there were people from other factions on the island now? Were there any reporters?
"Red Hawk, what you're doing is making things very difficult for this old man..." In mid-air, Kizaru scratched his head, his face full of distress.
"If it's difficult, then don't do it. Kizaru, what do you think your Marine is like now?" Andy looked at Kizaru indifferently, a faint smile on his face.
Kizaru didn't answer. Andy's response was a laser beam.
The yellow laser beam whistled towards Andy. Andy's eyes were calm, and the Crimson Demon in his hand, covered in Armament Haki, sliced through the light beam.
The light beam, cut into two halves, passed by Andy's sides and shot towards the ground, immediately creating two powerful explosions. The shockwaves and flames of the explosions instantly engulfed the surrounding houses.
Andy's legs bent slightly, and the next moment, he instantly charged towards Kizaru. The Crimson Demon in his hand, glowing with a scarlet, eerie blade light, slashed down at Kizaru.
"Ama no Murakumo." Kizaru, unhurried, instantly pulled out a sword made of light between his hands.
The light sword emitted a deadly danger. He immediately raised his sword to meet Andy's Crimson Demon, and they clashed together.
"Clang!" A crisp sound rang out, and the clang of metal echoed in the sky.
The air around the two was instantly shaken, forming visible waves of air that spread outwards.
Taking advantage of the moment Kizaru was parrying, Andy twisted his wrist, and the Crimson Demon quickly thrust towards Kizaru's neck.
Kizaru's eyes narrowed, and his body instantly turned into a flash of light, disappearing from his spot.
Andy's attack struck nothing. He quickly retracted his sword, vigilantly looking around.
The next moment, Andy felt a powerful energy fluctuation behind him.
He didn't have time to turn around and instinctively held the Crimson Demon horizontally behind him to block.
"Bang!" Kizaru's light sword heavily struck the Crimson Demon, and a burst of Haki collision energy instantly overflowed into the surroundings.
Andy immediately performed a spinning kick, slamming his foot towards Kizaru's neck. Kizaru instantly raised his right hand to block, and both sides immediately entered a stalemate.
——
Meanwhile, Kalifa found a Permanent Log Pose in the chaotic shipbuilding company.
As the battle between Kizaru and Andy grew more intense, loud explosions continuously echoed through the town.
Lucci and the others found the specific timber Iceburg needed and immediately returned to the shipyard's dry dock; they were also preparing to leave.
"Kalifa, the battle between Red Hawk and Kizaru won't end that quickly. You should leave with us first," Kaku said to Kalifa after finding her.
"You go first. I must stay now. After all, outwardly, I am his subordinate, and this is an opportunity to gain his trust," Kalifa replied seriously.
"Then be careful yourself." Kaku saw Kalifa's expression and knew he couldn't persuade her, so he immediately left.
"That scoundrel, he's not planning to wait until the Marine's Buster Call arrives before leaving, is he...?" Kalifa muttered, biting her lip lightly while holding the Log Pose she found.
