The strength of the Marine admiral is not something that these people can challenge. After experiencing this, the two groups of people who were fighting desperately just now became obedient.
"Cuff all the pirates and take them back. As for why Princess Royal mixed up with pirates, let your father explain to the World Government."
After Kizaru gave the order, a group of Marine men dressed in white emerged behind him. Those who were still capable of fighting, like Luffy, fought with the miscellaneous Marine soldiers. The admiral just watched the show from the side without taking any action.
Just as Luffy and his crew were fighting back and forth with the Marine, a burst of flames suddenly rushed towards the Marine, instantly disrupting the situation on the battlefield.
"What a terrible flame, so fast!"
The figure of the Marine admiral was so fast that it left an afterimage on the spot. In Admiral Kizaru's vision, everything slowed down in front of his eyes at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye. Those subordinates who were about to be attacked by fire, hundreds of Marine officers, were instantly brought back to the warship.
"Ace!? Ace, why are you here?"
Luffy recognized the man who saved him at first sight. Wasn't he his sworn brother? If he hadn't been wearing the familiar hat and had a face full of freckles, he wouldn't have recognized him after all these years.
"I saw what happened on the screen. I was afraid something might happen to you, so I came to Drum Island to take a look. Fortunately, I arrived in time."
Ace walked up to Luffy and gave his badly injured brother a big hug. It was really difficult for him to encounter so many powerful enemies just after going out to sea.
Borsalino pushed away his sunglasses and squinted to look at the scene of the two brothers' deep love, but he wanted to interrupt, "So it's Fire Fist Ace, I didn't expect Straw Hat Luffy is your brother, it really surprises me, I'll keep you with us today."
The flames and lasers collided with each other, and for a moment Admiral Kizaru was at a disadvantage. The flames forcibly pushed the single laser back.
The flames reached Borsalino's location, and his body actively transformed into elements. To outsiders, it seemed that the general was surrounded by fire, and the situation was extremely critical!
After escaping, Eren transformed into the Attack Titan, went to the shore and carried the Going Merry to the seaside. Luffy's crewmate were already on the ship, and Princess Vivi was also on the ship with Igaram's body, waiting for Luffy and his brothers to board the ship and escape. At this time, Borsalino was still in flames.
"Gone? He ran away again."
"Ace, who did you say ran away?"
Then, when running towards the Going Merry, Ace explained to his brother Luffy the purpose of his visit to the first half of the Grand Line. He had been chasing alone for a long time in order to capture Blackbeard Teach, who betrayed Whitebeard and killed the 4th Division Commander, Thatch.
The two brothers boarded the ship, and Eren got off at the same time. The latter was not a pirate and did not have a bounty on him, so with the help of Ace, the Going Merry set sail again.
"I won't let you escape, Yasakani no Magatama"
Borsalino moonwalked into the air and released a large number of light particle bullets with his hands. After shooting into the sea, they stirred up a lot of water splashes and locked onto and attacked the Going Merry sailing on the sea.
"Everyone, hurry up and hide in the cabin."
"Luffy, you go in too, leave this to me."
Ace threw several fire fists into the air in succession to block Admiral Kizaru's attack, but he might have been overthinking it. Even if his son Whitebeard did not take action, the Going Merry would not be in any danger.
Eren, who was standing on the shore, saw it clearly. The bullet-like light particles landed at just the right spot each time. The Going Merry was a moving target on the sea, and not a single light particle hit it. All of them were shot into the sea.
Instead, it was Fire Fist Ace's fire moves that caused the Going Merry to suffer some damage. The unextinguished small flames that fell from the sky began to burn on the deck. Nami was at the back directing the men on the ship to put out the fire.
Borsalino landed next to Eren and said, "It's so scary, we still let these pirates escape."
Eren was speechless as he listened to this. "As an admiral of the Marine, your acting is too stiff. Are you worthy of the salary the Marine gives you?"
"You look unfamiliar, young man. Why don't you get on board?"
Knowing that Admiral Kizaru would not attack him, Eren casually replied: "I'm not a pirate. Does that mean the Marine will catch me if I make friends with pirates? I took Luffy's ship to this island to see a doctor."
Do you want to see a doctor? Borsalino saw from a distance that this guy transformed into a giant 100 meters tall and blew up the fleet of Baroque Works with one move. Is this terrifying person with special abilities a patient?
"Why is there smoke coming out of Drum Castle?"
Eren looked in the direction of the Drum Mountain and saw black smoke coming out of it. According to the principle that things are bigger when they are near and smaller when they are far away, the fire must be very big. Something must have happened to the Drum Castle!
Before Eren went to check the situation, he saw a humanoid silver robot flying in the sky at a very high speed, holding a fat and bloated old man in its hand.
"So, this robot… is he part of the Straw Hats too?" Kizaru ask
Eren shook his head and denied the other party: "I have never seen it. The one in his hand seems to be the King Wapol"!
"Kidnapping the king of an allied country is a serious crime!" Borsalino raised his finger to brew photons, and a laser was emitted, hitting the robot flying in the air.
This time the laser was different from the previous one. This time the laser would not be suppressed by the flames. It directly penetrated the alloy inside the robot's body, and incidentally destroyed the flying device behind it.
The robot fell from the sky and hit the two men. The unfortunate Wapol became a meat pad, his bones were almost broken, and he lay on the ground wailing.
The robot had a puzzled expression on its face, and its red mechanical eyes searched for the information of the two men, "Admiral Borsalino, please do not interfere with Ultron's actions."
"You are a creation of Vegapunk"?
As soon as Borsalino mentioned Vegapunk's name, the robot named Ultron in front of him suddenly changed his attitude, "No, I'm not" The robot raised his palm and fired a laser cannon at the admiral.
Kizaru did not dodge the laser cannon and let it pass through his body. Ultron….he had never heard of this name. As the commander of the scientific force, he actually saw this kind of robot for the first time.
It has the ability to fly extremely fast and can shoot lasers from its palms. Isn't this better than the Pacifist secretly developed by the Marine?
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. I'll catch you and ask Vegapunk, Ama no Murakumo (Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven)."
A lightsaber appeared in his hand. Borsalino had no patience to play with Ultron. He flashed in front of the robot at the speed of light and cut off half of the opponent's body with one sword.
Ultron reacted instantly, seizing Wapol and dragging him in front as a living shield. His mechanical voice rang with cold amusement: "The Marine Admirals truly live up to their reputation!"
Before Borsalino could bask in the acknowledgment from the highly intelligent machine, Ultron's remaining arm punched straight through Wapol's chest. The robot's metallic voice resonated with cruel finality: "You still intend to reclaim him? Then know this—today, his Devil Fruit belongs to me."
A stream of pale-white energy coursed along Wapol's body, siphoned into Ultron's mechanical frame. In full view of Marine Admirals and pirates alike, the king's life was extinguished and his flesh reduced to nothing but fuel. Ultron's jagged, mechanical maw closed around the corpse, devouring it piece by piece.
"The alloy within this human's body cannot be wasted."
To the horror of every witness, the impossible became reality—this machine had just seized the power of the Munch-Munch Fruit. Both the Marines and the hiding Pirates looked on, shaken by the sight.
What they saw was more than death or cannibalism. It was a revelation—technology that eclipsed their very understanding of the world. For these so-called rulers of sea and shadow, Ultron's power was not merely terrifying. It was utterly beyond their cognition.
