"Whoosh..."

A black figure flashed. A sharp Western sword, swung to kill.

The atmosphere was violently torn apart. A blazing slash instantly shot forth, aiming directly at Jinbe's head.

"Damn it... Brick Fist!"

Jinbe's body was drenched in sweat, his hair standing on end. As he narrowly dodged Shiki's slash, he gathered all his strength, and a direct punch slammed towards Shiki.

"Roar..."

The terrifying slash missed. Over a dozen huge trees were violently cut in half, wailing as they fell.

"Crack!!"

His left fist directly collided with something hard.

A powerful airflow erupted, causing Jinbe's pupils to involuntarily constrict.

The opponent's power was astonishingly great, in no way inferior to his own. He was simply dumbfounded.

"Ze ha ha ha..."

Shiki let out a strange, shrill laugh, his face somewhat twisted, and killing intent billowed from his entire body: "Go die!!!"

"Blue Bird!"

The blade's edge turned pitch black, wrapped in Armament Haki. In an instant, it thrust out directly!

"Whew..." The sound of breaking air was piercing, as if birds were crying out loudly, sounding ominous.

"Five Thousand Tile True Punch!"

Fish-Man Jinbe gritted his teeth, glaring.

His ferocity was aroused. His gaze was filled with killing intent. His pitch-black right fist, imbued with all his strength, slammed upwards fiercely.

At this moment, a visible wave of aura directly rippled outwards.

"Roar!!"

"Clatter clatter clatter..."

Violent air waves erupted, and the ground was shattered.

"Hoo hoo..." The huge trees around, which would take two or three people to embrace, swayed uncontrollably under the terrifying powerful wind. Countless withered leaves fluttered down.

"One Sword Style: Flying Slash!"

His figure darted out. Shiki sneered, and his grim expression appeared.

"Whoosh..."

A blazing crescent-shaped slash instantly shot forth!

"Bang!!" "Roar!!"

...

Two figures clashed fiercely like this.

Blazing slashes, one after another, continuously cut down trees, leaving huge slash marks on the ground.

The entire forest became chaotic and shattered. The earth was covered with huge, crisscrossing cracks.

From beginning to end, Shiki did not use his Flutter-Flutter Fruit ability. He merely relied on pure swordsmanship, yet he was completely unharmed.

And the wounds on Jinbe's body continuously increased, bleeding profusely.

However, Ichiji and the others, who had been observing from the side, weren't distracted by having to guard themselves. They focused entirely on the battle between the two.

"Stop playing, Shiki..."

Ichiji, who had been paying attention to the two's battle, directly spoke: "Don't forget our objective!"

Shiki was already able to use Armament Haki. Although he was still not very proficient, even without his Devil Fruit ability, he could completely suppress Jinbe with just swordsmanship. At this moment, he was merely toying with the opponent. After all, this wasn't on the open sea.

The reason he let Shiki fight at first was to test his swordsmanship, and the result did not disappoint him.

Inheriting Golden Lion's powerful body, coupled with his excellent swordsmanship talent, and with Law, an excellent doctor, constantly regulating his body, Shiki only needed to work on mastering Haki and improving his swordsmanship. He could completely unleash even stronger combat power.

"Yes, Your Highness..."

Shiki couldn't help but pout, gradually restraining his arrogant smile. He complained, "It's rare to meet such an interesting rat, and this broken sword is too clumsy."

This ordinary Western sword, if not for being wrapped in Armament Haki, would probably have broken already.

Jinbe, who had pulled away from Shiki, was covered in blood and filled with wariness.

With a somewhat fierce and angry gaze, he glared directly at Ichiji, gritting his teeth and saying in a deep voice:

"Your Highness, I don't believe I know you. Why are you deliberately targeting me like this?"

He really didn't understand. Why was this person suddenly targeting him?

He didn't look like someone from the World Government. Otherwise, there would be no need to resolve "his own people." After all, that World Government spy hadn't done anything wrong yet. Even if it was for not taking his subordinates' lives seriously, there should be a reason for doing so.

It seemed more like an extermination!

But what Jinbe truly couldn't understand was, what good would killing him do for them?

"Ze ha ha ha, we have no obligation to let you die gracefully. Just obediently accept your fate!"

Shiki's aura suddenly changed dramatically, making one's heart skip a beat and their limbs tremble. The sharpness of his blade, wrapped in Armament Haki, slashed through the air like lightning.

"Whoosh—"

A blazing, enormous crescent-shaped slash instantly shot forth, directly engulfing Jinbe, whose face changed drastically...

And at this moment.

Far away in the South Blue, in a certain sea area.

A large war house, and a very ordinary merchant ship, were docked side by side.

"Are you the person in charge of the contact?"

The tall Bolus slightly furrowed his brow, looking down at the "short" man in a suit in front of him.

He could feel that this man in a suit was not simple.

Within that seemingly somewhat frail body, considerable power was contained.

"...I am Jellal, Chief Officer Spandine's confidant, Mr. Bolus. Please board the ship..." The man, dressed in a black suit, meticulously adjusting his tie, about thirty years old, appeared shrewd and capable. His demeanor was not humble, but his words were full of flattery.

"Hmm!"

Bolus wasn't suspicious. He nodded slightly and directly jumped onto the other party's merchant ship.

"You all go back to North Blue first. Come to pick me up after you receive the communication."

"Yes!"

Not long after.

The war house and the merchant ship sailed slowly in opposite directions, quickly disappearing from this sea area.

On the bow of the merchant ship, a table was set up, with two chairs. Two figures sat facing each other.

Jellal clearly recognized Bolus's identity. His face remained calm, but he couldn't help but feel a little secretly alarmed: "The former captain of the Fifth Division under the Golden Lion Pirates, actually defected to Germa 66. If word gets out, it will probably cause quite a stir..."

Judging solely from this point, Germa (pretty good) was probably not as simple as it appeared on the surface. No wonder his Uncle Spandine chose to cooperate with them.

"First, let me clarify. I'm only responsible for taking action to eliminate the opponent..." Bolus said bluntly, staring directly at Jellal, his gaze somewhat cold: "But to prevent Germa from being targeted by those CP0 guys later, your plan must show me its strict secrecy!"

"That's natural, please rest assured..."

Jellal nodded and said frankly:

"Our Chief Officer Spandine already has a well-thought-out plan. He won't implicate anyone!"

"Please look here..."

He spread out a relatively precise nautical map on the table.

Jellal pointed at a certain kingdom marked on the nautical map: "This time, the Kingdom of Westmount has erupted in rebellion, and CP's intelligence shows that an important official of the Revolutionary Army is nearby. CP0's 'White Wolf' and his partner 'Night Owl' have been dispatched to investigate..."
