In the center, a massive blaze burned fiercely.
Within the flames, a hand holding molten iron suddenly stretched out, pushing backward, forcibly subduing the fire to reveal Gin's body.
"Fist Bone..."
He posed to throw, with the tangible molten iron at that moment covered by darkness, resembling a black cannonball.
"Flowing Fire!"
Boom!
The moment the molten iron was tossed, it exploded into scattered small cannonballs, all blasting towards Sabo.
Sabo, startled, instinctively transformed into flame, burning the location, as the tiny 'cannonballs' pierced through the fire, their powerful impact creating streams of vacuum, impacting the ground and walls behind.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
The iron water covered by Haki, accompanied by a strong impact, exploded just like a cannonball, and after the intense explosion, splattering molten iron erupted, melting a series of craters around the blast zones.
However...
"Dragon Claw Fist!"
The burning blaze, entirely rising up, formed a fiery humanoid in front of Gin, and as the body coalesced, Sabo's five fingers spread apart, imbued with Haki, grasping fiercely toward Gin.
Clang!
Another bizarre hammer flashing with Haki, after being accelerated by rotation, collided with the Dragon Claw Fist without touching his hand, instead being blocked by external Haki.
Boom!
Before Gin could dissolve the hammer in his hand, Haki penetrated further, resonating the power of destruction, crushing his hammer before rushing towards his head.
His Haki... is inferior to this guy's?
Gin's pupils contracted, he withdrew a step, steadied his stance, his fist gathering at his waist, his wrist alongside the fist frenziedly surging with red flowing light, as his fist's surface was also covered with Haki, delivering a direct punch to Sabo's chest.
Dodge?
Let's see who's stronger!
Bam!
At the moment Gin punched, Sabo's five fingers also touched Gin's face, just about to exert force, a sudden fist exploded his body, transforming into flowing fire charging towards Gin.
Gin drilled out from the flames, just about to continue attacking, but surrounded by flames and craters, he couldn't find anyone, not even the flowing fire.
Gin wiped the fresh blood from his cheek, punching backward, the external Haki shock blew away the firewall behind, his eyes flickered with red dots, his face grew solemn.
"Dragon Claw Fist? Still so young? The Revolutionary Army's second-in-command... Damn it! Pearl!"
The outer position was his to guard, but the core area of that batch of goods was held by Pearl.
Not due to combat power reasons, but because Gin swiftly dealt with enemies on the outskirts, preventing them from approaching the goods, yet in case of loss, Pearl could hold for a while.
But now, the situation seems dire.
Pearl indeed sat watching, playing boringly with Firefly Stones, tossing three Firefly Stones continuously in his hands like juggling.
"I, Lord Pearl, even so skillful at juggling!"
Pearl laughed heartily, not even putting away the Firefly Stones, as he sensed something, glancing to the side, spotting a young man with a top hat quickly running towards him.
"Oh! An intruder!"
Pearl grabbed the three Firefly Stones into his hand, stood up, spreading open his hands, his iron-shielded hands with fingers spread, each gap like performing magic, holding a Firefly Stone.
"Infiltrating this far, but you don't know, Lord Pearl, I..."
Pearl bared his teeth, revealing a confident smile: "Am an invincible and handsome experienced man..."
Boom!
Flame carrying Sabo's body swiftly arrived, the five fingers posed in Dragon Claw struck Pearl's chest iron shield, instantly shattering the iron shield, the flame with impact swept over Pearl entirely.
As the flame swiftly moved away, forming Sabo's figure behind Pearl, he continued to run forward.
Pearl appeared charred, eyes flipped white, fell to the ground, legs twitching slightly like a cockroach.
Before long, Gin reached Pearl's location, observing the flames still burning around, his eye twitched, pulling out the Radio Snail.
Dignity and honor are not to be used here.
If that really is the Revolutionary Army's second-in-command, it would be troublesome even to catch up, he had no thought of not daring to fight, as a Disaster Pirates officer, fearing no battle.
But once fighting commences, Gin also doesn't believe it could end quickly, and now that Sabo has already infiltrated the region they are guarding...
This is the real issue, a mistake must not happen!
Therefore...
The Radio Snail dialed, Gin directly said: "Lady Lily..."
...
"Hey! Sabo!"
Sabo, continuously running forward, suddenly found himself before a dark harbor, seeing a group of people.
Among them, Koala waved calling out.
In the group was Bartolomeo, Rebecca, along with his companion Fishman Haku, and a familiar Robin, plus lying on the ground was a long-nosed man and a group of Little People Race.
Sabo ran over and smiled: "It seems the operation was successful."
"Yes, we came from the Toy Factory."
Robin smiled: "Long time no see, Sabo, did you see Luffy?"
"Yes! Did see him!"
Sabo smiled again, looking towards the long-nosed lying on the ground, covered in blood, seemingly about to fade away, "This one..."
"He's our companion, Usopp." Robin squatted down and lifted Usopp, speaking as she did.
