Titan Impact

The town on the pirate island where the World Pirates were located.

Several figures gathered on the second floor of the tavern, their eyes cold and devoid of emotion, looking through the window at the World Pirates by the distant dock.

"Those thugs are boarding the ship, should we stop them?"

"There's news that an Admiral is on his way. Let the Marine fight those pirates first, and we'll just wait to collect the spoils."

"This mission must be completed perfectly. As long as we retrieve the lost Heavenly Tribute, we can all get promoted!"

"Hmph! Some cowards wanted to leave early, they deserve not to be promoted."

"Indeed, retrieving the Heavenly Tribute not only completes the mission but also gives us a chance to gain the favor of the Celestial Dragons. Future promotions will be smooth."

"When we go back, should we report specifically to the higher-ups about those who left early..."

Several CP intelligence agents conversed in low voices, their gaze never leaving the pirate ship at the distant dock.

At the same time, the World Pirates quickly boarded the pirate ship, swiftly completing preparations for departure.

Byrnndi World, as the Captain, naturally took the helm, and the direction he chose for sailing was straight towards the Marine warships rapidly approaching from the distant sea.

"Byrnndi, the enemy this time is an Admiral, it's best to retreat first." Byojack, the strategist and Vice Captain, stood beside him, painstakingly trying to persuade him.

"If it were Sengoku, I definitely wouldn't start a war with the Marine." Byrnndi responded calmly.

"But the Marine admiral coming is Kenji. If we're scared into running away by that old man, we'll be hunted by even more Marines later, and it'll be even more dangerous!"

"No matter what, since we've stolen that Heavenly Tribute, we have to face the Marine head-on at least once. This battle must be fought!"

The weather on the pirate island was not good. Although it wasn't raining, the sea was rough with strong winds and lightning flashed in the dark clouds above.

Byrnndi steadily controlled the pirate ship amidst the strong winds and waves, silently calculating the distance to the warship in the distance.

The two ships sailed at high speed, and soon they were less than a thousand meters apart.

At this distance, Byrnndi could easily sink the opposing warship with his abilities.

However, on the warship's side, Marie ordered the ship to maintain this distance, as the command came from Kenji.

"Hehe, it seems some little rascals didn't listen and stayed behind." Kenji didn't look at the pirate ship opposite, his gaze fixed on a ship near the distant pirate island's dock.

That ship didn't have a skull flag and was quite far away, but with Kenji's current eyesight, he could see everything on that ship clearly.

He didn't even need Observation Haki to tell who those sneaky figures on the ship were.

Besides those spies from the CP organization, no one else could imitate that special cold and dark feeling.

"Marie, later you go..." Kenji raised his hand, pointing past the pirate ship in front to the even more distant ship.

But before he finished his instructions, a sudden roar came from the pirate ship opposite. "Where's that old man Kenji? Tell him to get out here and fight me!"

Kenji turned his head and met the gaze of the tall, muscular man standing at the pirate ship's bow—Byrnndi World.

"Forget it, I'll handle it." Kenji smiled and raised his arm to let his coat slide off.

He instructed Marie as he walked forward, "Later, remember to capture all those pirates... Last time, we didn't catch everyone, and the matter leaked..."

As he spoke, Kenji had already reached the bow, standing at the very front of the warship.

On the pirate ship opposite, Byrnndi was still provocatively shouting, challenging Kenji to a one-on-one fight.

In Byrnndi's impression, Shirojishi Admiral was an old man with white hair. He didn't even bother to glance at the black-haired middle-aged Marine who had suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Captain! Captain! That Marine at the bow, he's the Shirojishi Admiral!" A pirate next to him reminded him.

Byrnndi still didn't quite believe it. He widened his eyes and scrutinized the middle-aged Marine opposite several times.

Then, he believed it even less. The other man had shiny, lustrous black hair, and his face didn't show signs of aging. He looked middle-aged, even younger than Byrnndi, who stayed up all night, drank heavily, and partied constantly.

More importantly, his spirit had no hint of 'a person in their twilight years, frail and old'. Instead, one could tell at a glance that his body was full of vitality.

'You're telling me that guy opposite, who looks so energetic, is that old man Kenji?!'

If the person who had just reminded him wasn't Vice Captain Byojack, Byrnndi would have already thrown a punch.

Just as Byrnndi continued his relentless provocative shouts and various outrageous boasts—

At the bow of the warship opposite, Kenji had already rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight.

"The [Physique] trait has advanced to gold... Hmm, today I'll try Garp's usual fighting style."

Kenji raised his hand and clenched his fist, streaks of Armament Haki overflowing.

The next moment, he pushed off with both feet, stomping so hard that the stern of the massive warship lifted.

Using the enormous recoil, Kenji launched himself into the air.

"Uh, with that posture, he's going to..." On the pirate ship opposite, Byrnndi's face suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, the scene before him stirring up some unpleasant memories from the depths of his heart.

However, before he could stand up and react, Kenji, in mid-air, punched towards the back of the pirate ship.

"Titan Impact!"

Boom!

A circle of air waves instantly rippled through the air, followed by a high-speed radiating Haki, which slammed fiercely into the sea behind the pirate ship.

In just a blink of an eye, the violent air pressure wave exploded, churning up giant waves. Not only was the pirate ship impacted by the air pressure waves, but even the distant ship was engulfed.

"Damn it, it really is old man Kenji!" Byrnndi was caught off guard by this sudden change.

The power of Titan Impact erupted too quickly. He could only watch helplessly as the giant wave crashed down over the pirate ship.

"An old man dyes his hair black and pretends to be young... Was he deliberately trying to trick me?"

"Absolutely unscrupulous... Damn Kenji!"

In Byrnndi's endless fury, the shadow of the giant wave completely engulfed the pirate ship. The sails and mast were torn apart one after another, and the entire ship was completely submerged.

The ship carrying several CP organization members, further in the distance, was no better.

In fact, because the ship's planks were of poorer quality, the first wave of the giant impact shattered the ship.

Several CP organization members immediately fell into the water. They had to resort to swimming. They looked miserable but with their strength, they could easily win a swimming championship among civilians.

Unfortunately, the power of Titan Impact was still ongoing, and the main force of this attack was directed at them.

In an instant, the exploding air pressure wave engulfed the few people, and the terrifying impact instantly shattered them.

Blood foam, minced flesh, and severed limbs flashed in the sea, then were quickly swallowed by the waves.
