ared blankly at the pirate ship, which had disappeared into the distant sky as a black dot. It took them a long time to react.They immediately looked at the two battered and broken warships, gritted t...dust is flying.
The cold steel danced relentlessly.
Vince Smoker gazed upon the ruins of Germa Kingdom, his eyes burning with fury.
"Damn it!! This old man is going to lead Germa to dominate the North Sea!!"
Darren smirked.
"The navy is the master of this sea... As for the title of King of the North Sea, I won't give it to you."
He raised his hand and waved it forward.
Dozens of twisted steel bars suddenly erupted, stretching and lengthening violently as they pierced the air under the influence of the magnetic field, howling towards Vince Smoak Gatch.
Hah!
A plume of white smoke suddenly erupted from the heels of Vince Smok's boots, and propelled by his jet boosters, he soared into the air like a strange bird.
Then you'll see the true power of Germa 66 with your own eyes!! Darren, little devil!!
He brandished his metal spear, effortlessly deflecting the incoming steel bars with each swing. He plummeted from the sky at incredible speed, his golden hair flowing behind him like a banner in the wind.
Zzzzz...
A dazzling blue electric light burst forth on the spear, radiating with blinding brilliance.
"Electromagnetic Spike!!"
In the blink of an eye, Vince Smoak Garty had dove towards Darren's face, his hands gripping a spear crackling with electricity, and plunged it down fiercely!
The intense current and penetrating force, even caused the air to explode with a roaring sound.
"The power of technology"
Facing the spear of lightning, capable of piercing steel and fortresses, Darren merely chuckled.
A sudden gust of wind ruffled his black hair. He could see the spearhead getting closer and closer to his brow, even feeling the heat of its electric current. Yet, he still smiled.
An invisible magnetic field wave suddenly spread out from his body.
The next second,
The air seemed to ripple.
The explosive spear, as if thrust into a mass of transparent jelly, pierced with an astonishingly slow speed. It finally came to a standstill.
Vincent Smoque's pupils constricted.
No matter how hard he drove the spear, his technologically advanced weapon in his hand remained motionless, as if it were being held tightly by a giant hand.
"To use the power of technology against me, that is your greatest folly."
Darren said softly.
"Damn it!! I don't believe it!!"
Vince Smok roared in a fury, abandoning his spear and twisting in midair. His war boots erupted with blinding light as he lashed out horizontally, aiming a devastating blow directly at Darren's head.
"Electromagnetic Blast!"
However, the same scene played out again.
The boots, which were constantly spewing out white energy waves, were also "frozen" and "imprisoned" in mid-air by that strange force, unable to move any further.
Vince Smoak's face flickered with a hint of alarm.
My own high-tech weapons... completely neutralized by this guy's Devil Fruit power!
Before he could react,
Vince Smok gazed, only to see a flash before his eyes, and the naval Colonel vanished into thin air.
What a fast speed!!
A blast of concussive wind roared past him, and Vince Smoker Garci gritted his teeth, a chill running down his spine.
Behind him, the billowing cloak suddenly writhed like a living thing, enveloping his body.
A military boot slammed into his abdomen with tremendous force.
Under the eruption of overwhelming power, Germa 66's commander was hurled backwards like a cannonball, flying towards a military fortress in the distance.
Boom...
The entire castle was instantly pierced, with a myriad of cracks spreading across its walls before it collapsed with a deafening roar.
Countless rocks plummeted, and the earth groaned under the immense weight.
Darren landed safely.
"Damn it!! This is impossible!! My technology was supposed to be invincible!!"
Watching Vince Smoak Gargi's figure stumble out of the rubble, Darren couldn't help but smirk.
He is testing the power of this battle suit.
Unlike his subsequent children, Vincent Smoak Gajitch was not genetically engineered by technology. He did not possess an invulnerable monstrous physique.
Most of his power comes from his high-tech weapons—his combat suit.
Without his battle suit, his strength wouldn't exceed that of a naval officer.
Although this is the first generation of battle suit, its power is far less than that shown in the Cake Island storyline, but it is still objective.
It seems that at least from just now, Vincent Smokes' attack and the cape's defensive capabilities... Darren is quite satisfied with the power of this first-generation combat suit.
At least within his estimation, any professionally trained sailor equipped with a similar combat suit would likely achieve combat effectiveness comparable to that of a naval lieutenant commander.
And just then——
"Hahaha!! Let me help you, Darren!! The genius from the Marine Headquarters... will be victorious in this battle against the evil army commander, rescuing the Kingdom of Adis who is caught in the flames of war, and becoming a hero of the Marines!!"
A burst of wild laughter came from afar.
Darren was taken aback and turned to look back.
Only then did they see that their own warships had somehow already docked. Both Jinyuan and WuShu were leading the navy in a fierce battle with the remnants of the cloned soldiers.
And charging into the fray with an imposing presence, his figure surged through the crowd, kicking up a swirling cloud of dust as he relentlessly charged towards Vincent Smoker.
A few black lines drifted onto Darren's forehead.
This guy…trying to steal the limelight again
He unconsciously wanted to speak, but Jia Ji instead arrogantly burst into laughter:
"Darren, don't interfere!!"
Darren pondered for a moment, then stopped walking.
Upon seeing this, he was overjoyed.
Looking at the panting Vince Smoak, he couldn't help but smirk triumphantly.
He could already tell from their recent exchange that this person wasn't very strong.
As long as I put him down, Gion will definitely look at me differently.
Even if I can't, I can still become the hero who saves the kingdom of Yadies. How many ladies will be waiting for me to care for them then
Thinking this way, the pace of his charge quickened.
"The evil army commander, Vincent Smoker, I, Lieutenant Commander Gaje, in the name of justice..."
He didn't finish his sentence.
Boom!
A boot wrapped in blue electric light landed squarely on his face.
Then,
It flew back at twice the original speed, smashing into a military fortress.
In the distance,
The flying squirrel covered its face with its hands in pain.
Vince Smok's defeat was so thorough, it wasn't that he was weak, but Darren was just too strong...
The Gion District silently shook its head.
With a single kick, he sent that clueless navy clown flying from out of nowhere. Vince Smoker, gasping for breath, turned back and glared fixedly at Darren.
"Damn it all... one after another, you Navy brutes are such an eyesore!!"
Boom!
The boots beneath his feet once again erupted in a plume of hot air, and his figure soared through the sky, diving towards Darren.
He absolutely refused to admit that the technology he had painstakingly researched from Vegapunk was so utterly defeated.
However, faced with his onslaught,
Darren simply raised his hand, lightly making a fist.
The invisible magnetic field spreads out and takes effect.
Vincent Smokes' figure paused in mid-air.
In the next instant, intense pain shot up from his hands and feet.
Hmph!!
The sound of flesh being pierced rang out.
The metallic spear he held in his hand,
and the boots he wore on his feet,
The metal components, loaded within, writhed like living things, piercing his limbs, blood spilling freely.
"Ah ah ah ah!!"
The intense pain caused him to let out a howl of agony.
Moments later, several thick steel bars shot up from the ground, coiling around him like pythons, pinning him fast in mid-air.
Clink!
A piece of metal sealed his mouth, stopping his cries abruptly.
Thick, crimson threads densely filled the area around his pupils.
"...Hush."
A naval captain walked up to him, motioned for silence with a wave of his hand, and smiled gracefully.
"I'm sorry, your plan to dominate the North Sea is over."
