"Bacchus!"
"Die, you bastard!"
Alvin roared, gripping the gleaming broken blade tightly in his hand, and lunged at Bacchus like an arrow shot from a bow, with lightning speed.
This scoundrel had been chasing him all the way to the Dareleka Islands ever since he and Robin had taken down those pirates and rescued the merchant ship.
Now that he also had Armament Haki, he wouldn't be able to quell the hatred in his heart unless he killed him!
Facing Alvin, who was charging menacingly, a look of madness instantly appeared on Bacchus's distorted face.
His Marines had already been cut down by half by Luna, but Luna had been killed by Alvin after fighting him, and now even his warship had sunk.
Even if he returned, he, as a base commander, would definitely not escape the punishment of the Marine Criminal Investigation Bureau.
The best possible outcome would be to be imprisoned in Impel Down.
As soon as he thought that his tragic fate was all thanks to this person named Alvin, the rage in Bacchus's heart erupted uncontrollably like a volcanic eruption.
He wouldn't rest in peace until Alvin was dead!
Originally, Alvin had chosen to flee the battlefield after killing Luna, and perhaps Bacchus, who was now heavily injured, truly had no good way to deal with him.
But he never expected that this Alvin, who didn't know his place, hadn't left and was even trying to take him down as well.
Hmph!
He's really overestimating himself!
Although he was also covered in wounds after fighting Luna, he firmly believed that with his powerful Armament Haki, he was no match for a small fry like Alvin, who didn't know Armament Haki!
The next moment.
He saw him with wide, angry eyes, his hair standing on end, letting out a roar, and then forcefully swinging his large fist, covered in Armament Haki, like a cannonball, directly slamming it towards Alvin's face!
This punch contained endless power and rage, as if it wanted to utterly crush the enemy in front of him.
However, what he never expected was that at the very instant he made his move, Alvin, like a ghost, dodged to the side, easily avoiding his thunderous blow.
At the same time, the long blade tightly held in Alvin's hand struck down fiercely at the wound on his hand with lightning speed!
No sooner said than done, Bacchus, feeling the impending danger, roared, "Armament!"
Instantly, a layer of pitch-black Armament Haki rapidly spread over his arm, forming an indestructible shield.
But even so, Alvin's offensive did not stop there.
Just as Bacchus was fully defending his arm, Alvin's other side, his left leg, already covered in Armament Haki, arrived like lightning, striking down heavily at the wound on his left leg with the force of Mount Tai pressing down on an egg!
"You actually…"
When he saw that Alvin's leg had now turned completely black, as if forged from fine iron, Bacchus's face suddenly turned ashen, and his terror was palpable.
In an instant, there was a crisp, ear-splitting "crack," chilling to the bone.
Bacchus immediately felt a tearing pain from his left leg, and his entire leg seemed to lose support in an instant, limply dangling down.
The feeling was as if he had been brutally struck by an incredibly heavy, giant steel rod, and his bones had instantly shattered into countless pieces!
"Ugh ah!!"
A bloodcurdling scream rang out, so loud that it even drowned out the incessant thunder in the sky!
"Die!"
"Bacchus!"
With Alvin's angry roar, he gripped the half-broken long blade in his right hand, its edge gleaming with a cold light.
His arm muscles were tense, veins bulging, clearly having used all his strength.
Even more astonishingly, he had reversed his grip on the half-blade, and at the same time, a layer of black Armament Haki quickly covered it, making the entire blade emit a chilling aura!
No sooner said than done, Alvin's figure flickered, and like a ghost, he closed in, slashing fiercely at Bacchus's neck with lightning speed!
There was a muffled "thud."
Alvin's attack was powerful and heavy, and with the strong boost of Armament Haki, its power was doubled.
Bacchus had no time to react, not even a chance to use Armament Haki to defend, and his neck was easily severed by Alvin!
In an instant, blood splattered, like a blooming crimson flower blossoming in the air.
Bacchus's once proud head fell straight down like a lifeless lump of flesh, hitting the ground with a thud and rolling far away.
His eyes remained wide open, filled with unwillingness and disbelief, as if he couldn't accept such a cruel reality even in death.
The Marines who had fortunately survived, after witnessing this bloody and brutal scene, all turned ashen, their faces filled with extreme terror.
"Colonel Bacchus is dead!"
"Red Hawk Alvin killed Colonel Bacchus!"
"Run!"
"Help!"
In an instant, all the Marines used their hands and feet, fleeing the Skull Bay port in terror.
Alvin shook off the rain on his body and ignored the fleeing Marines.
He cast a indifferent glance at Bacchus's unseeing head.
"What are you looking at! No matter how much you look, you're still a dead man!"
As his voice fell, he took steps towards the hotel on the island.
Now that Luna and Bacchus were both dead, he no longer had to worry about anyone else posing a threat to him here.
Compared to a cave, a hotel was, of course, a hundred times more comfortable.
Meanwhile, some intelligence officers immediately reported what had happened here.
Skull Bay.
Duke of Bones, upon hearing the report from the Dareleka Islands, was initially incredulous and very shocked.
In the West Blue, there was someone who dared to lay hands on people from Skull Bay?
Immediately after.
The content of the intelligence instantly ignited his fury.
One had to know that Luna was his most favored adopted daughter, his designated successor, but now she had been killed by Red Hawk Alvin!
"Red Hawk Alvin! I'm going to kill you!"
In the Skull Bay Royal Palace, Duke of Bones's roar suddenly echoed.
Besides Skull Bay, Marineford also received a report on this incident.
The content was very brief: Red Hawk Alvin had gone on a killing spree in the Dareleka Islands, killing countless civilians, and Luna, Duke of Bones's adopted daughter from Skull Bay, and Bacchus, the Marine branch base commander, had also died at Red Hawk's hands.
"I didn't expect Red Hawk's strength to grow so quickly, but it's a pity that he's such a cruel and murderous person, not even sparing civilians.
Otherwise, I would really want to recruit him to join the Marine," Vice Admiral Tsuru said indifferently after reading the intelligence.
"Then… Vice Admiral Tsuru, should we increase Red Hawk's bounty?" Brannew asked.
"No need, Duke of Bones won't let him go.
Provide intelligence to Duke of Bones and let him take care of it," Vice Admiral Tsuru said with an indifferent expression.
"I understand." Upon receiving the instructions, Brannew immediately went to make arrangements.
Just as Vice Admiral Tsuru thought, Duke of Bones had already personally set out, leading five Skull Bay warships, rushing towards the Dareleka Islands!
————
Alvin, far away in the West Blue, didn't know any of this.
He had already checked into a hotel and was enjoying a nice bath in the bathtub.
