Getting crushed by that huge butt and then beaten to death by everyone?
No wonder Chaton's corpse looks a bit flat, just listening to it is tragic...
Shano couldn't help but snicker, patting Jack on the arm beside him, "Great work, Jack."
"Hehe, boss, don't praise me first. Kuina was the biggest contributor after all." Jack scratched his head, "But it was asking for trouble, daring to bully Nami, I would be the first to object!"
That's true.
"Thanks, Kuina." Shano gave a thumbs up again, not stingy with his praise for his Deputy Captain.
He and Rayleigh fought fiercely for over three hours.
While the battle between Chaton and Kuina lasted at least an hour.
To fight one-on-one against an Admiral Candidate for so long and only slightly at a disadvantage...
Tsk, at this growth rate, it won't be long before he might actually have a crew member known as the World's No.1 Sword Master.
"How's the ship coating coming along?" Shano asked again.
"Just a few minutes ago, I got a call that it's already done."
A black-haired girl, her face flushed, still managed to appear nonchalant, her voice calm, "Originally, it was a regular order that would take a whole day. But when I noticed Lord Shano and others got into a fight, I paid double to speed up the process, so it only took less than four hours to complete."
Nice.
Shano gave a mental thumbs up to his reliable Deputy Captain as Robin asked, "Captain, are we leaving?"
"Yes."
Shano nodded slightly, "Let's go. We're too close to Navy Headquarters. We've been fighting for quite a while now, and a Navy Grand Admiral could arrive at any moment."
It's fine if only one comes; he's still in good shape. But if more than one arrives, it'll be troublesome.
The group quickly arrived at the dock, where the Endgame had already been coated and was quietly moored at the shore.
"Get on the ship, set sail!"
With Shano's command.
The crew passed through the bubbles and leaped onto the deck, with Jack being the last to board, taking charge of pulling up the anchor and releasing the ropes.
...
In front of the big screen in the plaza.
The screen had switched to the dock where the Endgame was moored.
However, the view wasn't too close, seemingly captured from a tower rooftop hundreds of meters away, live streaming the image of the bubble-wrapped large ship slowly sinking into the sea.
Though the battle scenes had all been broadcasted, more and more audiences gathered, and the discussions grew increasingly lively and heated.
"That Netherworld King Rayleigh actually lost to Shano!"
"And he lost an arm, too. The dignified Pirate King's assistant, what a shame..."
"What's the big deal? The Pirate King himself lost more than just an arm!"
"...I really have no common language with you. Speaking of which, the Navy was defeated pretty miserably too. What Admiral Candidate couldn't even beat Shano's subordinates?"
"It probably takes a Grand Admiral to handle this, right? Strange, after so long, there's really no movement from Navy Headquarters. Are they just going to watch them leave?"
As if responding to this statement.
Whoosh!
On the screen, the distant sky suddenly lit up with blinding light, a golden laser tearing through the rain curtain, rapidly approaching the dock.
"That's... Kizaru's Fruit Ability!" An experienced viewer immediately recognized it with a trembling voice, "A Navy Grand Admiral is really here!"
"Awesome!"
"Damn, get out!"
The crowd instantly became tumultuous; some got overly excited, some backed away in fear, while others tiptoed to see more clearly.
"It's over, it's over, the Endgame hasn't gone far, it can't escape now!"
"Kizaru's Fruit Ability is said to reach the speed of light, how can they escape?"
"Hey, look! It seems like Shano noticed!"
In the live broadcast.
Originally standing at the bow, Shano suddenly turned his head, his gaze fixed on the approaching golden light.
A cold smile slowly crept onto his lips.
"Finally here..."
