Kyle arrived at the front deck, stood beside Zephyr, and asked, "What's the situation?"
"Not sure!" Zephyr shook his head and glanced at Kyle. "You think I'm you? That my Observation Haki can sense that far?"
Kyle didn't speak. He looked forward, simultaneously releasing his Observation Haki.
Two seconds later, Kyle's eyebrow rose slightly. "World Government people!"
"World Government? What are they doing here?" A hint of curiosity appeared in Zephyr's eyes.
"They're obviously here for us! They don't want to see Red-Haired thrown into Impel Down." "Hah~ I'd like to see what reason they have. If the reason isn't good enough, I won't show face even for those five old geezers!"
The two ships sailed toward each other, the distance constantly closing. Before long, they were only a little over a hundred meters apart.
At that moment, three men in white suits wearing masks leaped from the opposing ship, walked on air using Moonwalk, and flew toward the warship.
They landed on the deck, and the gazes of many Marines immediately swept over them. However, the three showed no reaction, instead focusing their attention on Kyle, who was sitting in a chair. The man in the middle of the three spoke in a淡漠 tone: "We are CP0. We have been ordered to take over the Red-Haired Pirates. Hand over the members of the Red-Haired Pirates to us!"
"Reason!" Kyle remained seated on the chair, asking indifferently.
"We, CP0, never need a reason for our actions. If you have an objection..."
Crackle!!
Before he could finish his sentence, purple lightning flashed, and a figure appeared before him. At the same time, a fist enlarged in his field of vision.
Thud—
A dull sound rang out. The CP0 who had spoken was instantly sent flying backward, creating a whooshing sound as he traced an arc through the air.
After blasting him away, Kyle, with lightning speed, grabbed the necks of the other two and violently forced them together. They collided with each other. The immense impact force instantly made them see stars, and one thought emerged simultaneously in their minds:
'This guy's head is kinda hard!!'
After doing this, Kyle casually flung them aside like trash. His figure flickered, and he appeared before his chair, sitting down heavily. He looked at the two struggling to get up, swaying unsteadily, and said indifferently, "Speaking so arrogantly will get you beaten. Didn't anyone ever teach you that?"
???
Wait?!
"We didn't seem to say anything just now, did we?" one of them asked quietly.
"You came together. He's not a good bird, what about you? Birds of a feather flock together. Any problem with hitting you?"
CP0: ....
"You..." The other barely spat out one word before being interrupted by a furious roar.
"Bastard!! Do you know who you're laying your hands on?"
Following the sound, they saw the CP0 who had been sent flying earlier using Moonwalk to head back toward the warship. When he was not far from the warship, he suddenly swung his right leg.
"Rankyaku!!"
The next second, a massive blue slashing projectile shot from his leg, cutting through the air toward the warship.
"Looking for death!" Kyle's eyes narrowed. Raising his hand, a bolt of lightning materialized from mid-air, striking the incoming blue slash. The blue slash was instantly shattered, while the purple lightning continued toward that CP0. Its speed was so fast that he had no time to react.
A crackling sound was heard, and he was instantly enveloped by the purple lightning, letting out screams of agony.
As the commotion subsided slightly, they saw him charred black all over, faint black smoke rising from his body.
This wasn't the end. Suddenly, a huge thunderclap came from the sky, followed by dazzling purple light scattering down. Subconsciously, everyone looked up.
They saw a pillar of purple lightning descending from the heavens, engulfing him, and then striking the sea. The resulting air blast shockwave pushed the warship away by a considerable distance.
A violent, terrifying aura continued to rage, causing everyone's heart to tremble involuntarily.
After another moment, the purple lightning disappeared. Similarly, that CP0 also vanished without a trace, his presence completely undetectable.
Kyle's expression didn't change at all. He slowly lowered his hand, as if he had casually swatted a mosquito. His gaze fell upon the CP0 who had wanted to speak earlier, and he asked calmly, "What were you about to say just now?"
"N-nothing..." The man couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Meeting Kyle's gaze, he only felt immense pressure now.
Actually, he had originally wanted to say that Kyle dared to lay hands on them, CP0, and asked if he knew what they represented.
But he didn't have that thought now.
Because the last person who said that had already gone to paradise. He felt he was quite tainted and didn't want to go to that pure land just yet!
The Kyle before them filled them with fear; he was the second such lawless Marine they had ever known.
The first was naturally Garp. Almost everyone knew that Garp had pointed at a Celestial Dragon on the Holy Land and called them trash.
He completely disregarded the Celestial Dragons, let alone their intelligence agency.
But judging from Kyle's current behavior, they felt Kyle was even more extreme than Garp.
Although Garp would hit people, they had never heard of him killing someone over a disagreement.
This one before them...
Had just slaughtered their comrade right before their eyes!!
"Come on, you two, tell me, what are you here for?" Kyle spoke again, causing the two bodies to involuntarily tremble. They glanced at each other subconsciously.
"What are you looking at!!" Suddenly, Kyle roared fiercely. The unexpected sound not only scared them, making their bodies jolt violently, but also startled the Marines.
"Whispering to each other, no discipline at all! Wearing masks, one after another, what can you see? Does the mask have the answers on it?"
"Look at me! Answer my question!!" Kyle's voice was heavy throughout, startling them once more.
After a long silence, the one on the left spoke cautiously: "L-Lieutenant Commander Kyle, we are ordered to handle the transfer of the Red-Haired Pirates with you. The government needs the Red-Haired Pirates to cooperate on some matters!"
"Ordered? Ordered by whom? I worked hard to catch them, and you want to take them away with just a few words?"
"What if they escape? Who takes responsibility for that? You, or the people behind you?"
"You want to take them away, right? Have your superiors come and talk to me!"
'We do want to let them go!' The two silently complained in their hearts. But looking at the current situation, there was no way Kyle would let them take the prisoners easily.
This guy doesn't play by the rules!
They didn't dare say anything more, nor did they dare threaten Kyle, otherwise, the target of that purple lightning from earlier would be them in the next second.
After another long silence, the CP0 on the right took a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and dialed it.
'Brru Brru~ Brru Brru~'
The Den Den Mushi rang a few times before being answered. An authoritative, vigorous elderly voice came from it.
"I am Saturn of the Five Elders..."
