The actions of Yamato, Ulti, and Smoothie instantly brought this elite naval force to the brink of collapse.
They didn't even use their full strength, yet they demonstrated the insurmountable gap between themselves and ordinary naval personnel.
Throughout the entire process, Su Hui simply stood quietly at the bow of the ship, as if everything before him had nothing to do with him.
His gaze remained fixed on the only woman who hadn't panicked—Momotogi Gion.
Gion's expression was more solemn than ever before.
She knew that ordinary soldiers were no longer of any use.
She slowly drew the famous sword "Konpira" from her waist, its blade gleaming with a chilling light in the sunlight.
"Everyone, stand down."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire deck.
The disorganized navy, feeling as if granted a pardon, retreated in disarray.
Gion took a step forward, her wooden clogs making a crisp sound on the steel deck.
Her aura began to rise steadily, and her sharp sword intent soared into the sky, even forcing the surrounding seawater to retreat slightly.
"Su Hui, what exactly is your purpose?"
She gazed at Su Hui from afar, her beautiful eyes filled with vigilance and inquiry.
Su Hui smiled, a smile that carried a hint of appreciation, but also a touch of playful mockery, like a cat toying with a mouse.
"Purpose?"
Su Hui seemed to find it amusing. "I'm just taking my crew out on vacation, and... fishing a bit. Is there a problem?"
"But Ms. Momousagi seems to have harbored ill intentions towards me from the very beginning."
"Hmph! You cooperate with Kaido and collude with Charlotte Linlin, and now you're even with their daughter and subordinates. You must be arrested."
As a candidate for Navy Admiral, Momousagi possessed her own arrogance. "It seems I'll have to use force to make you confess!"
"Qiang!"
The famous sword "Konpira" emitted a clear and melodious sound, and Gion's figure left only a fleeting afterimage on the deck.
Like an arrow released from a bow, he stepped on the moon and instantly crossed dozens of meters of sea surface, his fierce and unparalleled slash aimed straight at Su Hui's head!
That strike was swift, precise, and ruthless!
It embodies the essence and spirit of a top swordsman, with jet-black Armament Haki coiling around its blade, enough to cleave mountains!
"careful!"
Yamato exclaimed in surprise and was about to step forward when Su Hui raised his hand to stop him.
Faced with this earth-shattering attack, Su Hui didn't even move an inch.
Just as the gleaming blade was about to touch his neck, a ripple suddenly appeared in the space around him, as if a pebble had been thrown into a calm pond.
"Power and Control - Domain".
The soft murmur sounded like thunder to Gion's ears.
Her pupils contracted sharply, for she had witnessed the most incredible sight of her life.
Su Hui's figure became blurry and distorted in her vision, as if she were looking through a layer of frosted glass.
Her proud strike, carrying immense force, passed through the illusory afterimage without any hindrance, striking empty air!
An indescribable feeling of weightlessness came over her, setting off alarm bells in her mind.
not good!
Her sharp combat instincts made her try to retreat without hesitation, but it was too late.
A hand, without her noticing, had silently appeared behind her and gently placed on her shoulder.
Paper drawing!
She suddenly twisted her body, abandoning her defense, and with lightning speed, drew the short gun from her waist, aimed it at Su Hui who was right in front of her, and was about to pull the trigger.
This is a suicidal fighting style!
However, Su Hui was faster than her.
His hand, which was resting on Gion's shoulder, tightened slightly. A gentle yet irresistible force came through, and Gion felt a tingling sensation all over her body. The short gun in her hand flew out of her grasp.
That hand didn't contain any terrifying power, but it was like an unshakeable mountain, rendering all her struggles futile.
"You're very quick."
Su Hui's voice rang in her ear, his tone relaxed and tinged with approval, "Unfortunately, you have no chance against me. The game is over, Vice Admiral Gion."
"Lieutenant General Gion!"
The sailors on the warship were furious, raising their guns to aim, but hesitated to fire for fear of injuring the enemy.
Ignore the noise of those small fry.
"Lieutenant General Gion, let's discuss some terms."
Su Hui brought his face close to hers and smiled. "Today, I can let your men leave, and I won't sink this warship."
Gion raised her head and looked at him with a gaze that was a mixture of hatred, humiliation, and wariness.
She couldn't believe that this devilish man could be so kind.
"What are the conditions?"
She asked through gritted teeth.
Su Hui's gaze was like that of a hunter looking at prey that has fallen into a trap, full of aggression.
"It's very simple."
"You, stay here and become my prisoner."
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.
Both the surviving naval soldiers and the women on Su Hui's ship showed expressions of surprise.
To make a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral or Admiral candidate a prisoner of pirates?
This is simply a fantasy!
This is a declaration of war against all world governments!
"Don't even think about it!"
Gion refused without hesitation, her eyes burning with a fierce determination to die rather than surrender.
"Oh?"
Su Hui raised an eyebrow. "So, you're planning to have all your subordinates perish in the bellies of these sea monsters? Look, they seem impatient."
As soon as he finished speaking, huge shadows began to emerge from the calm sea around the ship. These were sea kings drawn by the smell of blood, their greedy eyes fixed on the damaged naval warship.
Gion's face turned deathly pale instantly.
She could die, but she couldn't let her followers sacrifice themselves in vain because of her decision.
Looking at the terrified yet resolute expressions on the faces of her subordinates who had followed her for many years, she was torn between her own conscience and her inner turmoil.
Su Hui watched her calmly, without urging her. He knew that this proud sea rose had no other choice.
Momousagi stared intently into Su Hui's eyes, as if she wanted to kill him with her gaze.
But in Su Hui's eyes, she only saw a smile and calmness, as if he was not worried that she would take any action.
She knew this man was serious.
He really would kill everyone without hesitation.
a long time.
Momousagi took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her expression was resolute.
"I promise you."
She used all her strength to utter those three words.
"Lieutenant General Gion! No!"
"We fought them!"
The sailors shouted in grief and indignation.
"This is an order!"
Momousagi's voice was hoarse, yet carried an undeniable authority: "Everyone, return to base immediately! Report everything that happened here to Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"
Despite their extreme reluctance, the Marines, under Momousagi's strict orders, eventually turned their ships around and slowly departed.
The adjutant stood at the stern, watching the figure captured by the enemy yet still standing tall, tears blurring his vision.
He knew what a huge uproar this news would cause when it reached Marineford.
And that man named Su Hui, his name will surely appear on the World Government's bounty list in the most heinous way, shocking the entire world.
of course,
But that's all in the future.
That night.
As night deepened, the calm sea surface resembled a vast black ribbon.
Propelled by an unseen force, Su Hui's ship sailed steadily, its cabin brightly lit, a stark contrast to the deathly silence outside.
The luxurious sailing ship provided by the International Trade Corporation floated quietly, its brightly lit cabins a stark contrast to the deathly silence outside.
Gion was assigned a separate guest room.
The room was lavishly decorated, with soft carpets and a faint fragrance, but none of this could alleviate the coldness and despair in her heart.
Her face was indifferent as she sat quietly on the edge of the bed, her hand tightly gripping her beloved sword, "Konpira." The cold touch of the scabbard was her only solace at that moment.
She was waiting, waiting for that man to arrive, waiting for her ultimate fate.
"Squeak-"
The sound of the door being pushed open made her freeze.
She suddenly looked up and saw that demonic figure.
Su Hui walked in slowly and closed the door behind him.
He didn't speak, but simply pulled up a chair, sat down in front of Gion, and looked her over with great interest.
That gaze was aggressive, as if it were scrutinizing something that belonged to her, making Gion feel a chilling sense of humiliation.
"You...what do you want to do?"
Gion stared coldly at Su Hui.
She forced herself to straighten her back, trying to maintain her last shred of dignity.
"What are you doing?" Su Hui chuckled, leaning forward and getting closer to her. "What do you think?"
He reached out, wanting to touch her cheek.
"Do not touch me!"
Gion, like a startled cat, shrank back abruptly, her eyes filled with wariness and disgust.
Su Hui's hand froze in mid-air, not angry, but simply said:
“Vice Admiral Momousagi, you don’t seem to understand your situation. You have no right to say ‘no’ to me right now.”
"I'd rather die than let you succeed!"
Gion gritted her teeth, a resolute glint in her eyes.
"Death?" Su Hui seemed to have heard an amusing joke. "Do you think death is such an easy thing? In my domain, your life and death are in my control. I can make you wish you were dead."
His voice was calm, yet it contained a chilling quality that sent shivers down one's spine.
Gion's face turned deathly pale instantly.
She recalled the feeling of powerlessness she had felt during the day, as if even time and space were being controlled—a terrifying force beyond her comprehension.
