In just a moment, countless bullets entered Grimm's body. Did an enemy with a 700 million bounty get hit so easily? The Rear Admiral, who didn't understand Grimm well, was a bit surprised. Grimm was too lazy to dodge damage that posed no threat.
The Navy had too little intelligence on Grimm's fighting style. Because everyone who had fought Grimm was basically dead, only Aokiji had a slight understanding, and even that was incomplete.
A sense of excitement arose in the Rear Admiral: "Did I just take down a pirate with a 700 million bounty?"
Hit directly by bullets, let alone Grimm, even Whitebeard would lose his combat effectiveness.
These Navy soldiers were too young. They knew nothing of power.
After being shot, Grimm's movements were not affected. He raised the Ash Messenger and swung it down. Golden sword energy instantly slashed out.
"Ash Awakening!"
The Rear Admiral immediately reacted and held a sword horizontally in front of him. However, his weapon couldn't block such sword energy. The sword in his hand was instantly cut into two pieces, and his entire right arm, along with his shoulder, was severed.
Many soldiers around died under this sword energy.
Finally, the golden sword energy struck the left side of the warship's hull, instantly turning the entire left half of the warship into dust!
With the Rear Admiral dead, the remaining soldiers were almost all remnants. However, soldiers who had received professional training were different. Seeing their superior officer dead, they didn't flee. Some even took out their Den Den Mushi.
"Target confirmed, Tirion D. Grimm has entered the New World!"
"Grimm used a greatsword with extremely powerful destructive force. The emitted sword energy directly severed Rear Admiral Desol's Haki-infused weapon…"
"Grimm burned Rear Admiral Desol to ashes using an unknown light entity…"
The intelligence soldier continued to report, then lost consciousness.
In less than ten minutes, three warships were completely wiped out.

This was Grimm's growth over the past few days. Since the battle on Sabaody Island, Grimm's attributes had increased by at least 10%, with an overall combat power increase of about 30%. This made Grimm have to sigh: Minions give no experience!
Moreover, the further into the late game, the less bonus these Navy soldiers provided, except for the [Nightmare of the Navy] achievement!
[Nightmare of the Navy]: Kill 20,000 Navy soldiers and 15 Navy officers (at least Major). Achievement Reward: 20,000 Holy Light Points.
Even Rear Admirals now gave very little reward points.
Therefore, reward points and experience were entirely dependent on missions and achievements. Relying on killing people was too unrealistic…
Grimm and his group set sail again. Next, Grimm needed to find an island called "Byrnblus."
...
The news of the Holy Light Pirates annihilating three warships quickly reached Marine Headquarters. Simultaneously reported was a video recording of Grimm's battle.
Previously, Grimm's fight with Aokiji was too hasty, and neither party went all out, so it couldn't be used as a reference.
Therefore, the footage of this battle was quickly handed over to the Marine Science Department for analysis, then to Chief of Staff Tsuru, and further up to General Sengoku, Vice Admiral Garp, and finally Fleet Admiral Kong!
Dr. Vegapunk was very interested in Grimm's abilities. Upon hearing about this, he immediately expressed his willingness to study the recording.
Soon, Dr. Vegapunk's research results were out.
They mainly included two aspects:
1: Grimm's abilities do not come from a Devil Fruit. Similar to the experimental subject brought from the Kingdom of Minos, it might be a form of faith power, but the specifics are unclear.
2: This is a video, specifically the scene of Grimm "purifying" the Rear Admiral. Dr. Vegapunk processed the footage in a special way. It was clearly visible that after Grimm purified the Rear Admiral, a golden light shot into Grimm's forehead.
It felt as if Grimm had swallowed the Rear Admiral.
The Navy was deeply troubled by Dr. Vegapunk's report. If it wasn't the power of a Devil Fruit, then even inventing Sea Prism Stone bullets would be useless against him. He was truly a troublesome fellow.
On the other hand, there was news about the Roger Pirates!
After entering the seabed, the Roger Pirates did not stop at Fish-Man Island but went directly to the New World. After all, for Roger, Fish-Man Island was a place he had visited several times before, and he didn't have time for sightseeing now.
The Roger Pirates had appeared on an island in the New World, and Garp and Sengoku had shifted their full attention to the New World, as Roger was their primary concern.
...
Grimm quickly found the location of the island "Byrnblus" on the map. It was still a long voyage to get there, passing through several islands along the way.
This map was hand-drawn by Dr. Vegapunk on the spot. Because their meeting was too rushed and he couldn't take anything from the laboratory without reason, even a map had to be hand-drawn, as Vegapunk feared it would be discovered by the Navy or the World Government.
Voyaging in the New World is easily affected by the weather. Moreover, Plank's navigation skills are unreliable. Sometimes, Grimm even suspected that Jiana was the navigator.
Jiana, originally from Theramore, had been exposed to navigation knowledge from a young age. Even in the world of pirates, she quickly adapted. Therefore, the voyages of these past few days were basically arranged by Jiana.
As for Plank, he only complained: "Damn it, I want to eat oranges, why haven't we reached land yet!"
Grimm was so annoyed that he reluctantly agreed to let this guy plant an orange tree on the deck.
Back to navigation.
Grimm vaguely remembered watching the anime in his previous life. Doflamingo once traveled alone from Dressrosa to Punk Hazard without any compass.
Such a feat could only be attributed to his extreme familiarity with the sea routes.
After five days of sailing, Grimm and his group successfully reached an island. Before even landing, Grimm saw something that immediately caught his attention.
On the shore of the dock stood a very tall flagpole. A flag fluttered in the wind, bearing a white skull with a crescent mustache curled upwards at the corners of its mouth!
The symbol of the Whitebeard Pirates!
A man who could rival the Pirate King. Grimm was very interested. He wondered if Whitebeard would be on this island!
After docking the ship, Plank eagerly jumped off the ship to find a plant market to buy an orange tree.
Grimm glanced at Jiana: "Aren't you coming down for a walk with me?"
"No, I don't want to go down!" Jiana said, her eyes not leaving her magic tome. "I'm currently researching a new frost magic called 'Glacial Spike.' It has immense power, and I think I should learn it!"
"Forget it!" Grimm smiled, finally understanding why the two idiots back then didn't listen to this girl's advice!
