One Piece: At the start, defeat Momonosuke and take Yamato to sea.

Chapter 29, Part 7: Nahafza

Thanks to the friendly exchanges between Luo Ji and Yamato, the Deckard brothers were beaten so badly that they were only able to leave when the ice on the pirate ship thawed.

However, they still exchanged Den Den Mushi numbers with the Luo Ji Pirates, hoping to have the opportunity to contact and communicate in the future.

Luo Ji was very satisfied with the sparring session, while Yamato felt that the two pirates were a bit weak, not even as good as the Flying Six.

Luo Ji didn't know whether the battle had been detected by the Navy or the Newsbirds.

If defeating pirates doesn't earn you a bounty, Luo Ji will have to find something else to do.

In this world, if you want to recruit a powerful crew, you should first make a name for yourself.

Luo Ji never expected that Fire Fist Ace would become famous even faster than him and make the headlines.

After leaving Wano Country, this guy went to a winter island to visit Shanks.

However, this time, because of Luffy, he did not challenge Shanks, but instead went to challenge the strongest of the Four Emperors, Whitebeard Newgate.

As a result, Fire Fist Ace happened to run into Hanafuzha, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who was searching for Devil Fruits in the New World.

Fire Fist Ace, the Rookie King of the Supernovas, clashed fiercely with Lizard King Hanafza.

No one expected that this veteran Shichibukai would actually lose to Portgas D. Ace.

This news instantly made headlines in Morgans.

The World Government quickly stripped Hanafza of his position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and extended an olive branch to Portgas D. Ace, inviting him to become the new Warlord of the Sea.

However, Fire Fist Ace directly rejected the World Government's invitation and continued searching for the whereabouts of the Whitebeard Pirates.

The World Government and the Navy immediately increased Portgas D. Ace's bounty, from a Supernova with a bounty of 3 million to a great pirate with a bounty of 5 million.

This 18-year-old rookie, who has only been at sea for a little over a year, actually managed to defeat one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea; he deserves the bounty.

Meanwhile, another Shichibukai, Jinbe, learned through certain channels that Fire Fist Ace's target was Whitebeard.

He left Fishman Island directly and headed to Whitebeard's territory, intending to stop this newcomer from challenging Whitebeard.

···

On a sea area in the New World.

"Luo Ji! Ace is actually that famous! How can he overshadow us!"

"Our Luo Ji Pirates will definitely become more famous than the Spade Pirates!"

Yamato was also reading the latest newspaper with Luo Ji. When she saw Fire Fist Ace, who was famous throughout the sea, her eyes were full of envy.

She can definitely defeat any of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, even Ace could defeat them.

She is now encouraging Luo Ji to challenge the Seven Warlords of the Sea, make a name for himself, and recruit powerful allies.

'Ace has defeated Hanafza, which means Kuma is already on Egghead Island in the New World.'

Luo Ji was a little helpless. If he knew where Egghead Island was, he would definitely look for an opportunity.

He wanted both Vegapunk and Bartholomew Kuma.

But for now, we have no choice but to give up.

"Almost there! We'll be arriving at the territory of one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea soon!"

Luo Ji thought for a moment and said, "I will definitely go to Punk Hazard and Dressrosa."

He wanted something in both places.

"Great! We're the next ones to make the news!"

Yamato said confidently that she had even started selecting the characters she wanted to defeat from the collected bounty posters.

However, a series of intense cannon fire on the sea quickly caught Luo Ji's attention.

Who else but the navy could possess firepower of this scale!

"Let's go! Let's join the fun!"

Luo Ji immediately drew a flying crane, stowed away the pirate ship, and rushed over with Yamato on board.

Komachiyo, transformed into a nue, also carried Tama and Komako Ushimaru, and gave chase.

On a small island, a pirate ship had been blasted to smithereens by the navy's fierce firepower.

"Hanafza, you have been stripped of your title as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea after your defeat. Surrender!"

Otherwise, you will be killed without a burial place under the navy's firepower!

Vice Admiral Onigumo led several naval fleets to surround the island where Hanafza was located.

Although this operation did not reach the scale of a Buster Call, the Marine Headquarters still deployed three Vice Admirals in order to successfully capture Hanafza, the former Shichibukai.

Moreover, Hanafza's injuries from his battle with Fire Fist Ace had not fully recovered.

"Damn the Navy! Bastard World Government!!"

Hanafza, covered in burns, hid on the island, cursing wildly.

He hated Fire Fist Ace, that Logia-type bastard, but he hated the Navy and the World Government even more for kicking him while he was down.

"Once I escape and recover from my injuries, I will definitely take my revenge!"

Hanafza's eyes were filled with boundless hatred.

However, now that he is seriously injured, what chance does he have of escaping from the hands of three elite lieutenant generals?

He will either be bombarded to death or captured by the navy and imprisoned in Impel Down.

Regardless of the circumstances, his life will come to an end before the world today.

There is no place for him in this era.

···

"Yamato, don't you want to be famous? Here's your chance!"

In the sky, Luo Ji, who had been observing for a long time, revealed an excited smile.

This injured Shichibukai is a good prey.

With three vice admirals, defeating just one first, followed by clearing the field with Conqueror's Haki, will make the rest of the battle much easier.

"Are we really going to make a move, Luo Ji?!"

Yamato murmured excitedly, though he didn't know why he had to take action, but the Navy seemed to be the enemy of pirates.

"Now let's show our full strength, we can even use Overlord's Binding."

Your first priority is to cripple that long-haired lieutenant general and knock him into the sea!

Of the three vice admirals, Onigumo is the strongest, so of course we should kill him immediately.

Luo Ji was confident he could handle either the remaining Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel or the Vice Admiral Fighting Dog.

"I understand!"

Yamato's expression was solemn. Seeing Luo Ji so serious, he thought these vice admirals were as strong as the Three Disasters.

"Tama, you take Komachiyo and Ushimaru and go capture that pirate. I will have the Phantom Beast Super Nue and Kazenbo assist you."

Hanafza is currently severely injured and covered in burns. Using the Flame Specter on him should probably break through his defenses.

"I will definitely try my best!" Xiaoyu replied earnestly.

"Yamato, get ready! Keep your eyes on that guy!"

Luo Ji summoned a series of scrolls and drew out the Second Generation Kitetsu.

"Yamato, announce our arrival to the sea!"

Upon seeing Yamato enter his human-beast form, Luo Ji shouted excitedly.

A surge of violent Conqueror's Haki erupted from Yamato, unleashing endless black and red lightning.

A sudden, terrifying aura descended from the sky, startling all the navy personnel who looked up in shock.

A white figure, carrying boundless power, hurtled down rapidly through the air.

"Divine Wolf - Ice Slash!"

With a fierce shout, terrifying lightning and icy power erupted.

Vice Admiral Onigumo didn't even have a chance to use Shave and Moonwalk to escape; he and his warship were smashed into the sea.

The warships were reduced to wood chips in an instant, and a large number of naval vessels were swept into the sea by the shockwave.

The Oni Spider, which was directly attacked, transformed into a bullet and blasted into the deep sea.
