But before Lotte could receive an answer, the excruciating pain of his severed hand shot through him.
"Aaah!!!"
Unable to suppress his scream, Lotte rolled on the ground.
Large beads of sweat streamed down his face.
The pain was clearly visible.
Ignis Glow watched this scene without a flicker of emotion.
Or rather… Disdain flickered in Ignis Glow's cold eyes.
"A Rear Admiral, yet unable to tolerate such pain…"
Having served in the Navy for forty years,
Ignis Glow's past life had been mostly spent punching the clock and slacking off.
But in an era of rampant piracy, Navy duty was unavoidable.
Even without being in the dangerous New World, Ignis Glow had experienced numerous battles and injuries.
This was why he had developed the habit of daily training.
Even so, even the most ordinary low-ranking Navy member, anyone who had participated in a pirate extermination operation, would not scream and shout on the spot due to an injury.
Because doing so, would cause pirates to prioritize attacking the injured during a battle!
It would not only cause trouble for their comrades but also significantly increase their chances of death!
A Rear Admiral, yet he didn't understand this basic principle.
What's worse, it was this man, who lacked even basic knowledge of injury,
who had devised the insane plan to destroy towns to intimidate all the forces in the North Blue…
It's conceivable, in the eyes of these people, the commoners at the bottom of society were nothing more than…
At this moment, Rear Admiral Lotte, his mind clouded by excruciating pain, roared:
"You… you old man! I'm a Rear Admiral! You dare attack me! You're asking for death! Come! Someone! Quickly! Arrest this damned old man!!!"
His angry roar echoed.
Ignis Glow's eyes remained devoid of anger.
Rear Admiral? So what?
Vice Admiral? So what?
Having completely severed ties with the Navy, would he care about the identity of a useless man who only roared before his death?
The answer is…
No!
Just as those who sat comfortably in their offices could casually decide the lives of others, Ignis Glow, at this moment, didn't care about the ramblings of a dying man.
However, this scene, with those who considered themselves superior, the situation had now reversed.
Looking at the man with the severed hand, Ignis Glow picked up a long sword from the deck.
Using Ryūjin Jakka to deal with such trash would be a waste. He wasn't worthy.
But just as Ignis Glow raised his sword, preparing to strike, the 'trash' before him showed fear, then burst into laughter.
Ignis Glow paused.
"Hm?"
"Ha-hahaha! You, you don't know anything! Ye-yes! You don't know anything at all!"
Dragging his body, with his severed hand, seeing Ignis Glow pause, Lotte, knowing he was about to die, unleashed his madness.
He roared: "Yo-you attacked this ship, it will be the biggest mistake you've ever made! You have no idea!"
"There's an incredibly noble guest on this ship!"
"Incredibly noble guest?"
Hearing this title again, Ignis Glow's eyes showed thoughtfulness.
Lotte became even more frantic.
"Hahaha! Do you know?! That guest… is from the Holy Land!"
"Holy Land! Do you understand?! And that guest is on this ship, you attacked this ship! It's like declaring war on the World Government… hahaha! You're finished! You're…"
Psh!
Lotte: ??
Before he could finish, Ignis Glow suddenly moved!
A single slash.
A head, spraying warm blood, flew into the air.
The crazed expression gradually turned to disbelief.
Until his death, Rear Admiral Lotte couldn't understand.
This 'old man', having heard "Holy Land",
should have realized that a legendary 'World Noble', a Celestial Dragon, was on this ship…
Yet this 'old man' still acted without hesitation…
Various thoughts flooded his mind.
His consciousness gradually faded.
Suddenly, Lotte's head hit the deck, his eyes widening, as if he had heard something that shattered his worldview.
"Celestial Dragon? So what?"
Ignis Glow stood on the deck, looking down at the head with wide, disbelieving eyes.
His eyes showed no wavering at the news of a World Noble.
He spoke slowly, uttering words that would send chills down the spine of anyone who heard them.
"Don't worry, you'll meet in hell soon enough."
Killing a Celestial Dragon Directly, No Need for Them to Come, He Will Personally Go to the Grand Line!
…
Ascending to the second deck of the doomed warship.
Ignis Glow's eyes flashed with cold intent.
Here, what he saw was the most shocking sight since his arrival in this world.
