"Vice Admiral Dillon, today's newspaper."
Dillon took the newspaper and glanced at it, his brow furrowing instantly.
"Donquixote Doflamingo Becomes King of Dressrosa".
Hmm? That flamingo… is it this year…?
Rubbing his temples, Dillon tossed the newspaper aside.
Oh well, in the current situation, not everything can be taken care of.
Seeing that the messenger hadn't left yet, Dillon asked strangely, "Anything else?"
"There is also..." The messenger took out another newspaper: "It's a West Blue newspaper, apparently about Mr. Shiryu and them."
"Shiryu?"
With Shiryu's strength, he shouldn't have any opponents in the West Blue. How could he be in the newspaper?
"Red Hair Pirates Land in Flower Country, Engage in Great Battle with Mysterious Person, Outcome Unknown".
Dillon's eyes narrowed.
Red Hair... Did he think one arm was too many?
Grabbing Shura from the table and slinging it over his shoulder, he looked down at the messenger and ordered, "Tell Tom I'll be out for a few days. Have him watch the house."
"Yes, sir!"
...
West Blue, within the Flower Country.
"Cough cough, you guys are really impulsive, 'Red Hair' Shanks is not an easy opponent."
Bellemere leaned against a rock, looking listless.
Under a tree trunk opposite her, Shiryu had his eyes closed and didn't respond to Bellemere.
"Troublesome... cough cough..."
"Shut up, you idiot," Shiryu gasped, interrupting Bellemere: "If you hadn't insisted on causing trouble for the Happo Navy, you wouldn't have been entangled by Red Hair."
Bellemere "tch"-ed, took out a cigarette, and lit it, but only took one puff before the wound in her lungs was aggravated: "Cough cough... cough cough... The Happo Navy? These robbers... cough cough... forget it, now the Den Den Mushi is broken, can only hope that Little Dillon can realize our crisis."
Casually, Bellemere extinguished the cigarette and closed her eyes, her face extremely pale.
Shiryu raised his eyes and looked at the woman opposite him.
It had to be admitted, although this guy was weak, but…
The courage and fearlessness she showed in battle had earned Shiryu's respect.
Come quickly, Dillon.
This stupid woman is about to give up…
From the distant woods, a "rustling" sound came. Shiryu forcibly roused himself and gripped "Rain" Shiryu.
"No need to be nervous. We are CP members stationed in Flower Country, ordered to search for the two of you."
Recognizing the identities of the people who came, Shiryu breathed a slight sigh of relief and said to the CP, "Did you bring a doctor? That woman…"
Across from Shiryu, Bellemere's head had already fallen to the side, and her face had turned sallow.
…
"Yes, according to the report from the Flower Country branch, Major Bellemere's injuries are very serious, and can only barely maintain vital signs at present."
Dillon hovered in the air, coldly staring at the Blue Den Den Mushi: "Don't give me so much bullshit. All you need to tell me is, will she die?"
The CP0 member was silent for a moment: "Not for the time being, but…"
"Use all the abilities of your Cipher Pol organization, and send her to the Drum Kingdom as quickly as possible. Notify me after she arrives. If she dies halfway, you know the consequences."
The CP0 member didn't refute, and paused slightly before saying: "Okay."
"And!" Lightning flashed around Dillon's body: "Where is 'Red Hair's' ship? I want the specific location."
…
Flower Country border.
Red Hair Pirates – Red Force.
"Shanks…"
Benn Beckman looked at the injured Lucky Roux to the side, and then looked at the serious face of his captain.
Just yesterday, on their way to the "Great Glacier" of Flower Country, they encountered "Don" Chinjao being pursued by "Rain" Shiryu.
Although the reason was not explained, Shanks immediately went to help "Don" Chinjao.
During the exchange, Lucky Roux was hit by Shiryu's slash and was seriously injured, while Shiryu himself was severely injured by Shanks.
As for that woman… she was severely injured by Yasopp, who was furious because of his partner's injury.
"Rain" Shiryu… so he was that man's subordinate.
And that woman...
After learning of this news through a special channel, Shanks fell silent.
Looking at the unconscious Lucky Roux in the cabin, a determined look flashed in Shanks' eyes.
No matter what, I can't abandon my companions!
"What is that…"
The voice of the lookout on the mast trembled.
Shanks and Benn Beckman seemed to sense something as well, and looked solemnly into the distance.
On the distant sea, endless dark clouds wrapped in raging thunder were pressing towards the location of the Red Force.
That disaster-like scene left the people on the ship dumbfounded.
When the dark clouds covered the entire sky, an emotionless voice rang in everyone's ears.
"Who injured my subordinate?"
The members of the Red Hair Pirates looked at the figure slowly descending from the thunderclouds, and some crew members with poor physical qualities had already fainted uncontrollably.
"Gulp~"
The executives swallowed a mouthful of saliva. This kind of aura… was even more terrifying than back then.
"No one answering?" Dillon drew Shura. As soon as the crimson blade was exposed to the air, the boundless bloody aura covered the entire sea.
"Bang!"
Yasopp raised his long gun. A bullet covered in Armament Haki instantly flew towards Dillon's forehead.
"It was me, what about it, you bastard Naval Force."
Shanks slightly opened his mouth, smiled wryly, and then drew his saber - Gryphon.
"Prepare for battle, go all out!"
The bullet flew to a distance of less than a meter in front of Dillon as if it was grabbed by an invisible hand, and then fell into the sea.
"Very good…"
Dillon, suspended in the air, looked at the Red Hair Pirates on the sea.
The thunderclouds rolled, and water-bucket-thick thunderbolts entangled and intertwined in the clouds.
Even though the members of the Red Hair Pirates were doing their best to release Armament Haki, they still felt the hairs on their bodies trembling, and their skin was slightly numb.
"Awakened Logia…" Shanks' face sank, and black Conqueror's Haki instantly covered Gryphon.
"Divine Departure!"
A huge slash soared into the sky and flew towards Dillon.
Facing Roger's signature move and Shanks' powerful Conqueror's Haki, Dillon didn't take it lightly either.
"Judgment: No Life!"
Slightly different from Red Hair's, Haki was wrapped around the blade of Shura. The Haki slash, with a strong bloody smell, erupted from the blade of Shura.
At the moment when the slashes collided, the thunderclouds in the sky were divided into two.
Shanks on the ship and Dillon in the air were both holding their respective weapons with both hands and pouring power into them.
Bang bang!
Two gunshots.
One was from Yasopp's long gun.
One was from Benn Beckman's pistol.
Yasopp's bullet was directly ignored by Dillon, but Benn Beckman's bullet was entwined with Conqueror's Haki.
"Bastard!"
Dillon gritted his teeth and pressed down on the hands holding Shura.
The two slashes that were deadlocked in the air erupted, and the surrounding sea instantly surged, as if it had been cut off from all directions.
Dillon's figure flashed and disappeared instantly.
"Gone!?"
One executive looked shocked.
Shanks, Benn Beckman, and Yasopp looked serious.
"No, not…"
The dark clouds that had been cut off by the slash gathered again, even giving people the illusion that they had solidified.
And the lightning inside became even more terrifying.
The raging thunder constantly struck the sea.
The Red Force was like a helpless leaf floating in the thunder.
"Careful!" Shanks' pupils shrank violently.
In the thunderclouds, a huge shadow with only one foot emerged.
"Kui Bull!"
The shadow pounced from the thunderclouds as if it had life.
"Full defense!!!"
Boom!!!
The sea collapsed, and the crew members on the Red Force released their Haki to resist the beast in the sky.
"Pfft!"
"Ugh ah~"
As the executives fell to the ground one after another, Shanks' hands also began to tremble.
This power… had already… already…
Just as Shanks' strength was about to run out, the lightning finally dimmed.
"Hoo… hoo…" Shanks gasped for breath and was about to speak.
A executive who had not yet fallen cried out, "Yasopp!? Damn Naval Force! How dare you…"
Yasopp, who was originally standing with everyone, disappeared.
In the sky, Dillon pinched Yasopp's neck, and the huge force, blessed by Armament Haki, made Yasopp's throat make a "click click" sound.
"Adams Dillon, give… "
"Give your mom!"
Dillon looked at Shanks: "What are you? You think you deserve me to give face?"
Snap!
Yasopp's neck broke, and his body slumped down softly.
"Yasopp!!!"
"Yasopp!!!!"
Dillon threw Yasopp's body towards the sea. As if still not relieved, a thunderbolt descended, and the body floating on the sea instantly turned into slag.
"You…" Shanks gasped for breath, his eyes spitting fire.
My comrade…
"You think you can leave, Red Hair?"
The thunderclouds in the sky didn't mean to dissipate at all. You could even vaguely hear the roar of beasts in the thunderclouds.
Booru Booru, Booru Booru.
The azure blue Den Den Mushi rang. Dillon hung up impatiently.
Booru Booru, Booru Booru.
"Damn it!"
Dillon answered and looked at the blonde Five Elders.
"Adams Dillon, stop. The people who attacked your subordinates have already been executed. Stop here. Red Hair is a man who can't die right now. The balance…"
"Without him Red Hair, there are still black hair, white hair, green hair on the sea, what kind of bullshit balance, it will be balanced naturally after killing him!"
Dillon stared at the Den Den Mushi, refusing to give in.
"You know in your heart that this is not the case. And this man is different from other great pirates. Adams Dillon, this is the meaning of Lord Imu."
The other party did not hide it, and directly said the name "Imu".
Dillon stared at the Den Den Mushi.
What does this mean!?
No pretending anymore!? Are we revealing our cards!?
You know that I know Imu exists?
How do you know? Has my identity as a transmigrator been exposed!
"As compensation, Mary Geoise will additionally grant you the rank of Vice Admiral, and compensate you with a Devil Fruit. You know, the Devil Fruits in Mary Geoise are all those legendary varieties."
A sense of crisis surged into his heart, Dillon's heart was shaken.
Wrong!
Although his Observation Haki can't predict the future like Katakuri, under the unique "Mantra" training method of Skypiea, the movements within a few kilometers or even more than ten kilometers around him can't be hidden from him.
How did the Five Elders know that he had killed Yasopp, and call right on time?
Was it him?
Imu?
"Okay…"
Dillon looked at the Den Den Mushi.
Just as Mary Geoise breathed a sigh of relief, Dillon's voice rang out again.
"This time, we'll call it even, but only this time."
The Five Elders were silent, seemingly defaulting to this statement.
Looking at the dilapidated Red Force on the sea, a fierce light flashed in Dillon's eyes.
But he finally endured it.
Imu…
Just what kind of background does this guy have!
