Yu in his Gun Devil form spoke with human words.
"Who was it just now that said they wanted to oppose Senpai?"
Hearing his words, everyone was finally convinced.
This calamity demon that seemed to have stepped out of hell was indeed Yu.
After all, his fanatical devotion to Makoto was even more famous than his strength.
However, compared to his everyday human appearance, his voice at this moment was hoarser. Each word seemed forced out from a rotting throat, carrying a grating, metallic texture.
Seeing Yu in this state, the whole world was stunned.
Although in recent years Yu had been called the [Overlord whose strength surpasses even the Four Emperors], no one had ever imagined he could be this terrifying.
With a casual move, he had killed the Five Elders.
Compared to his form, things like the giant race and Domi Reversi seemed utterly laughable.
At Marine Headquarters, Marineford, in the plaza.
The 100,000 Marine elite were dead silent.
The Vice Admirals who had just been fighting madly under Domi Reversi were now frozen in place, their bodies trembling involuntarily. Not from cold, but from fear.
Sengoku stood on the rubble, looking at the demonic calamity, his lips moving but unable to utter a single word.
Garp sat on the ground, still injured, looked up at Yu, and gave a bitter smile.
"Damn... this thing..."
At this moment, facing Yu in his Gun Devil form was like: You're back in ancient Japan, everyone was engaged in a village brawl, and then someone suddenly brought in a ballistic missile.
It's a complete dimensionality reduction attack.
Just then, Makoto's voice came leisurely.
"Ishigami, why are you in such a hurry?"
Then, Makoto's personal ship, Otherworlder-Go, flew through the clouds and landed steadily beside the Gun Devil.
But to be honest, Otherworlder-Go, a large ship capable of carrying a thousand people, looked like a toy next to the Gun Devil.
The Gun Devil, which had just seemed like a demon from hell, immediately scratched its head upon hearing Makoto's words.
That action, performed by his face made of fangs, rotting flesh, and a giant gun barrel, was indescribably bizarre.
"Sorry, Senpai. I just didn't expect there would still be fools in this world who dare to oppose you. I couldn't help myself..." His voice carried a trace of embarrassment, like a child who had done something wrong.
Makoto stood at the bow, shrugged, and said helplessly, "If you take out this form and scare them off, then no one will dare to play with us anymore, right?"
"Huh? That's not true, is it?" Yu's tone was full of innocence. "This is only 20% of my full form."
On the Gun Devil's face, made of fangs, rotting flesh, and a giant gun barrel, it was impossible to read his expression.
But his tone still conveyed his emotions.
At these words, everyone was even more dumbfounded.
'Damn, this thing is so terrifying, and you're telling me it's only 20%?'
'If you actually reached 100%, would you knock down the moon?'
Makoto looked helpless, then smiled as he looked down at the various forces and asked amiably, "Everyone, don't be afraid. Anyone who wants to fight can fight."
The scene remained dead silent.
Even Akainu, the most hawkish in personality, didn't dare speak at this moment.
'Damn, you've already brought out something like that, who would still dare to fight you?'
Just then, Sabo gathered his courage and asked Makoto, "Was Luffy's capture... really your scheme?"
Hearing this, the others looked at Sabo in shock.
Damn, this kid really had courage.
Makoto nodded with a smile. "Yeah."
Shanks couldn't help but demand, "Why would you do this?"
He couldn't understand why Makoto would do this. And in his opinion, with Makoto's strength, he had no need for such tricks.
Makoto simply answered with two words.
"For fun."
At these words, Shanks and the others were completely stunned.
They never expected that to be the reason.
Just then, Usopp spoke up, trembling.
"W-we... we won't oppose you..." His voice shook, his lips quivered, tears already welling in his eyes. "Excuse me... can we leave now?"
Makoto smiled at the long-nosed man.
To be honest, back when he followed the One Piece manga in his past life, his impression of Usopp hadn't been very good.
After all, in the Straw Hat Pirates, he never really saw what use Usopp had. He felt Usopp was completely dead weight, especially after the whole 'leaving the crew' incident.
But the further the story went, for some reason, Makoto's impression of Usopp actually improved.
Not because Usopp said he 'didn't like the land of Wano'.
Makoto felt the main reason was that as more and more outrageous characters appeared later, Usopp actually seemed normal by comparison.
This reminded Makoto of the entertainment industry in his past life.
Whenever someone even worse appears, everyone starts thinking the previous one wasn't that bad.
It's just comparing who was worse.
Makoto smiled and nodded at Usopp.
Upon hearing this, Usopp broke into an overjoyed smile.
But the next second, Makoto said amiably, "But I'm going to kill your father, and that pink-haired guy next to you. That's fine, right?"
At these words, Usopp's father, Yasopp, and the pink-haired Effort King Koby beside him, looked utterly incredulous.
"Wh-why?"
They didn't remember ever offending Makoto.
Usopp himself was also shocked and gathered his courage to ask Makoto why.
Makoto spread his hands. "No particular reason. It's like seeing a mosquito flying around in front of you and instinctively wanting to kill it. Do you have to wait for it to suck your blood first?"
Then, Makoto signaled to Hiyori.
Otherworlder-Go slowly descended.
Makoto first looked at Yukino, whom he hadn't seen in twenty years and who was now over fifty, and greeted her with a smile.
"Yo, Yukino. You've gotten so old."
Yukino already had some wrinkles on her face, the marks of time clearly visible on her features.
Although her hair was still black, it no longer had the luster of her youth.
She looked embarrassed, never expecting that after twenty years apart, the first thing Makoto would say to her was something like that.
Then, Makoto walked toward Yukino.
Yukino watched him approach, growing more and more nervous.
Her breathing became rapid.
Then, Makoto patted Yukino on the shoulder.
"You've done well."
His tone was casual, like greeting an old friend.
Then, he walked past her.
Yukino stood frozen in place.
She had expected him to mock her, but instead, he encouraged her.
And she could tell that Makoto's words were not sarcastic.
He genuinely thought she had done well.
For a moment, a wave of warmth flooded Yukino's heart, and her heartbeat quickened.
"Hey, old woman! Don't look at my man!"
At that moment, Makoto's women also disembarked from the ship.
Utaha immediately confronted Yukino.
Yukino looked furiously at Utaha, her longtime rival, only to see her puffing out her increasingly exaggerated chest, clearly showing off the gold necklace around her neck.
Yukino guessed immediately that it was Pure Gold.
Makoto walked toward Yasopp.
Though terrified, the members of the Red Hair Pirates still stood in front of their comrade.
"Move aside."
Makoto's voice was calm.
No one moved.
Makoto asked with a smile, "Do you want to die with him?"
The crew members' faces turned pale, but still they did not move.
Their captain, Shanks, stepped forward again, standing at the front.
"Why are you doing this?" He asked. "Yasopp shouldn't have offended you."
Makoto's smile remained. "No, he didn't offend me. But I just want to kill him. What can you do about it?"
Makoto had no intention of explaining to the [Face King]. (T/N: For those who don't understand Shanks's title as Face King, it's because in China, people would usually say, 'please give me face' when asking for something. And when Shanks said 'please give me face and stop this war' in the original work's Summit War, the Marine really give him 'face' and stopped the war. Because of that, people called him [Face King] or the user of 'Face-Face Fruit.)
Shanks's face darkened.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and tried to negotiate.
"If... if I can block one or two of your moves, could you please spare Yasopp?"
He paused.
"Please give me some face."
At these words, all the women and subordinates behind Makoto laughed.
Four Gay Bros couldn't help but mock Shanks: "Who the hell do you think you are? You want Boss to give you face?"
Makoto nearly burst out laughing too.
But he still agreed to Shanks's request.
Then, before the world's eyes, Shanks drew his sword, Gryphon.
He gripped the sword with both hands and held it before him in a blocking gesture.
"Come on."
