Finally, after much deliberation, the Navy's high-ranking officials decided to return to base and rest for a while.
However, everyone unanimously agreed on the matter of having the Navy restrain and warn Morgans, as this old birdman had been truly out of line this time.
Furthermore, both the Navy and the World Government maintained an ironclad grip on public opinion, for they deeply understood the importance of propaganda, or rather, the critical role it played.
Nevertheless, this impromptu meeting came to an end, especially since Koby and the others urgently needed to recuperate. Bogard and the Three Admirals of the Navy immediately entered the medical bay, where they received treatment and rehabilitation under the careful attention of the Marine medical team.
The Marine Soldiers who survived this fierce battle were now in the same situation, undergoing treatment and recovery with the full assistance of the Marine medical team.
This included the two lucky ones, Koby and Helmeppo.
Koby's condition was slightly better, but he also needed a good period of recuperation, especially since Rocks' return had quite an impact on his mind.
But Koby still preferred his warship, so after stepping out of the meeting room and onto the deck, he used Moonwalk to leap up like a bird, preparing to return to his warship and rest peacefully in his office.
Yet, sometimes, when acting alone, a person can find himself in danger.
"Hmm." After boarding the warship and stepping inside, Koby instantly caught a whiff of four unusual presences. There were uninvited guests!
"Who's there? Get out!" Koby immediately roared at the top of his lungs.
"Roar—" But in an instant, an even more deafening roar came from behind the wall next to him. In a flash, the wall was shattered like fragile paper, and a giant green muscular man, wearing only a pair of dark blue shorts and with short black hair, burst through the wall. He then swiftly threw a punch imbued with powerful Haki, like Mount Tai crushing an egg, towards Koby.
Undoubtedly, the identity of the newcomer was clear: it was the Hulk, one of the top combat powers of the Avengers from the Marvel World. However, what was strange was that he had a purple wolf head, like a badge-like device, on his chest.
"What the heck? Some experimental monster that escaped from a lab." Seeing the green Hulk, Koby was startled, but when he saw that there was no Haki on his fist, Koby immediately felt contempt.
His Haki-infused fist swung up like a sudden storm, and Koby paid a heavy price for his underestimation at that moment.
The moment their fists clashed, Koby's eyes instantly widened, and he inwardly cried out in alarm, "This guy's strength is unexpectedly immense!"
"Rumble..."
With a loud bang, Koby's fist felt like it had been hit by a heavy hammer. He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, smashing through layers of ship planks, and then plunged into the vast sea.
"Brother Wolf, your chip is truly amazing."
Two figures walked out of another room like ghosts.
One, though slightly aged, was still as robust as an ox, wearing black sunglasses and sporting a unique purple and white hairstyle. He was dressed in a special general's uniform. However, surprisingly, this fellow was a wolf, appearing very similar to the Mink Tribe unique to the Sea World, but in reality, he was just a wolf, a unique wolf from the Scissor Seven World: General Core Wolf.
The other person was normal. He wore a black robe with greenish-blue lines outlining his figure like a nimble snake. His long white hair cascaded down to his knees like a waterfall, and he wore a mask over the right half of his face, appearing like a handsome man. Two double blades hung at his waist, engraved with Azure Phoenix patterns. His identity was self-evident: he was Azure Phoenix, one of the Seven Shadow Assassins from the Scissor Seven World, and one of the top three assassins.
The previous sentence was precisely what Azure Phoenix said to Core Wolf.
"Hahaha, the effect is indeed good, this Rage Chip. But I never expected Brother Hulk's potential to be so astonishing. My chip merely stimulated his potential."
Receiving praise, and from a powerful individual from another world, now his companion, Core Wolf was naturally delighted. But what truly astonished him was Hulk's extraordinary potential. Indeed, the angrier he got, the stronger he became.
"Yes, indeed." Azure Phoenix also nodded in agreement.
"You two, stop chatting. Let's go down and help Basha. The old man is too strong; she won't be able to hold on for long." Hulk turned and said, seemingly still rational at the moment.
"Alright." Azure Phoenix was a man of few words, as he was inherently a cold person.
"Wait a moment, this is the Diving Chip I made. It not only helps us filter seawater and breathe directly underwater, but it also allows us to fight underwater as if we were flying in the air."
"However, Brother Hulk, my chips can only be used one at a time. Before using this chip, you must first remove the Rage Chip."
Core Wolf took out another chip he had developed, and it sounded perfect for underwater combat, at least ensuring they could breathe freely underwater as if on land.
But at the same time, he kindly reminded Hulk.
"Don't worry, Hulk can get angry on his own, even underwater." Hulk immediately took the Diving Chip, then removed the Rage Chip and installed the Diving Chip.
Azure Phoenix and Core Wolf felt a peculiar yet very comfortable state.
The three exchanged glances, nodded, and then immediately jumped down from the series of large craters into the sea.
After the three entered the sea, they were still in the shallow waters where sunlight could penetrate. In short, there was a light source here, so they could see.
One must know that at the deepest parts of the ocean, there is no light at all.
They quickly saw their other companion, a blue-skinned female demon resembling a mermaid, fighting Koby.
As one of the Yonko, if judged by sheer strength, Koby was a bit stronger. However, underwater was Basha's home turf, and Koby was not adept at fighting in the sea.
Holding his breath, he was being dragged into a disadvantageous fight by Basha.
Soon, with the entry of Hulk and the other two, Hulk immediately got angry, boosting his strength, and charged towards Koby.
Azure Phoenix drew his twin blades, the Azure Cloud Flowing Water Swords.
General Core Wolf also immediately activated the Ultimate Chip, undergoing a transformation into his purple form. Dressed in a special battle suit, he could also fight underwater, and most importantly, the Ultimate Chip was compatible with other chips, so the Diving Chip's effect was still present.
They immediately charged towards Koby...!!!!!
