Neichin leaped into the air.
Much like a magical girl transformation, her previously short and stubby limbs suddenly stretched and lengthened!
Not only that, but even her chest expanded and swayed with exaggerated bounce, instantly drawing attention.
Ares's eyes widened in disbelief. "Nani? What kind of martial art is this?!"
"It can even change a person's entire appearance?! That's seriously weird!"
This completely shattered his understanding. By simply consuming some medicine, this once ugly, frail, and scrawny woman had turned into a tall, curvy beauty with flawless, fair skin.
It was as if Ares had discovered a whole new world.
As he was still marveling at the sight, Neichin launched her attack, spewing a cloud of green poison mist from her mouth.
"Herbal Toxin!!"
Ares quickly dodged with a powerful leap. The wooden planks where he had been standing were instantly corroded by the green mist, leaving behind gaping holes.
Just as he evaded the poison, Sebastian suddenly charged forward.
"Die!! On the Wald Pirates' ship, it doesn't matter what pirate you are, there's only one fate death!"
His fist roared toward Ares, the punch so fierce it tore through the air with rippling shockwaves.
Seeing it was just a standard punch, Ares frowned and flexed his arm, his muscles bulging like bricks stacked atop one another.
Even more terrifying, his bronze skin turned blood-red.
Wisps of white steam hissed from his arm.
"Armament Great Ape King Fist!!!"
That bizarre and monstrous punch caused the surrounding air to violently tremble.
The howling winds roared!
The force was overwhelming!
Sebastian's expression changed drastically. Just from the sheer pressure, he could tell this punch was absolutely insane!
But he had no time to dodge.
All he could do was grit his teeth and throw his own punch forward.
Bang!!!
Crack!!!
The sound of impact and the sound of bones breaking echoed almost simultaneously, followed by a heart-wrenching scream of agony.
"Ahhhh!!!"
"My hand!!!"
The enormous fishman Sebastian was sent flying, crashing straight through the ship's rail and plunging into the sea with a thunderous splash.
As the other pirates felt a deep chill and overwhelming fear, a burst of loud laughter rang out.
"HAHAHA…"
"I've got him!!"
Wald Pirates' officer Geiramu appeared mid-air, wielding his massive iron hammer.
He swung the colossal hammer with a roaring wind, his face gleaming with glee at his sneak attack. "Die!! You bald-headed brute!!"
Geiramu could already imagine the scene his hammer smashing down, splitting the enemy's skull like a watermelon.
Bang!!!
The massive iron hammer slammed down viciously on Ares's head.
But the next second.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Geiramu's eyes bulged in disbelief, his mind spiraling.
"Did I just hit steel?!!"
"Why is his head so hard?!"
What kind of monster was this?!
His devastating hammer strike had done nothing to the man's head?!
As Geiramu froze in shock, Ares swung his arm around and punched Geiramu square in the face with a deafening thud. The terrifying force instantly caved in Geiramu's face, twisting it grotesquely.
Saliva, shattered teeth, and blood sprayed from his mouth.
He was sent flying and plunged into the sea.
Terrifying beyond belief!
Ares casually rubbed his shiny bald head and muttered, slightly dissatisfied, "It still hurts a little. I guess I need to keep training."
Seeing this horrifying scene, one pirate immediately wet his pants, the pungent stench quickly carried away by the sea breeze.
Another pirate dropped his weapon with a loud clang as his hands trembled in terror.
"Is this guy's head made of iron?!"
"How can his head take Geiramu's full-power hammer strike and be totally fine?!"
"This… this is a monster!!"
Everyone stared at Ares with sheer horror.
Even Neichin wasn't an exception. She stumbled back in her high heels, her voice shaking as she screamed, "A monster… this guy is a monster."
"How can anyone survive a hammer strike to the head from Geiramu completely unharmed?!"
She kept backing away until bang her back slammed into the ship's bow. Her entire body trembled.
This brute's strength was simply too terrifying. He had defeated both Sebastian and Geiramu with a single punch each!!
At that moment.
A cannonball suddenly struck the ship's hull, accompanied by a deafening explosion and thick black smoke.
The entire ship rocked violently.
One pirate rolled across the deck in panic and shouted, "What happened?!"
"It's… it's the Navy!!!" Another pirate clung to the ship's railing and peered out, spotting a massive Navy warship speeding toward them across the waves.
The seagull carrying the scales fluttered proudly on the ship's mast.
"The Navy?!"
Ares immediately looked up and saw the enormous warship. His eyes lit up with excitement. "Wang Zhi said the Navy is one of the strongest forces on the sea, full of powerful warriors."
"A ship this big must have strong fighters onboard!!"
His blood, which had just settled, boiled once more. After all, these pirates didn't offer much of a challenge.
Still, he had learned quite a lot from them.
But fighting the powerful Navy? That would definitely teach him even more!
Without hesitation, Ares leaped off the deck and dove straight into the sea with a loud splash.
Watching Ares leave, Neichin finally let out a deep sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from her brow. But before she could even catch her breath
A pirate's horrified scream nearly stopped her heart.
"That's… that's Vice Admiral Garp's ship!!!"
"Garp?!"
Neichin's mind went completely blank.
Vice Admiral Garp!!
One of the strongest current Navy officers.
Among the Navy's most feared figures, there were "Strategist" Sengoku, "Iron Fist" Garp, "Black Arm" Zephyr, and the Navy Fleet Admiral Kong.
Vice Admiral Garp was considered one of the Navy's absolute powerhouses.
"He's here to capture the captain?!" The thought flashed through Neichin's mind, panic surging through her heart.
She shouted frantically at the pirates on deck, "Get into the water and pull Sebastian and Geiramu out!!"
"We have to find the captain immediately and get out of here!!"
If they were caught by Vice Admiral Garp, they'd be sent straight to Impel Down.
At that moment.
Neichin suddenly thought of the terrifying, nameless brute from earlier. A wave of relief washed over her.
"That monster must have gone to cause trouble for the Navy. Hopefully, he can hold them off for a while."
"Give us enough time to escape."
