t.She recalled the rumors about Darren she had heard at headquarters before... She unconsciously bit her silver teeth.This official ship is clearly feminine in style, so its owner…Could it be…A sense..."Last words, huh..."

Bonnie Waldo breathed softly, murmuring to herself with a distant look in her eyes.

He subconsciously turned his head to look in a certain direction in the distance.

In that place, a pile of charred bones lay there, emitting dark smoke.

That is Ben's body.

Faced with an explosion of that magnitude, he, who was even weaker than the average person, had absolutely no ability to resist.

"Brother..."

He suddenly smiled.

"Hee hee... Ha ha... Hahahahahaha!!!"

The corners of his mouth curved upward, gradually becoming manic. His laughter was laced with a growing mixture of helplessness, resentment, and despair—a symphony of complex emotions.

Two lines of bloody tears seeped from his skull-like eyes, which were sticky with blood.

Tick-tock...

Tick tock…

He stretched out his blood-soaked, mangled hands, struggling and trembling to rise from the scorched and desolate ground.

He summoned every last ounce of his strength, every bit of his willpower and remaining determination, to command his body to rise. With trembling legs, he managed to stand upright.

He scanned the faces of Sengoku, Garp, and the numerous Marines who kept arriving with weapons in hand, spitting out a mouthful of blood with disdain. His gaze finally settled on the naval colonel.

He laughed arrogantly.

This will be his last victory, and he would absolutely not allow himself to show any weakness before he dies.

He used all his strength to breathe again:

"Get your hands dirty, Darren!"

"My life... has been wonderful!!"

Bonnie Ward looked up defiantly, her voice booming:

"Why leave a will!"

Darren smiled.

As you wish.

As he spoke, he drew out a coin and flicked it upward with his thumb.

Silver coins flipped endlessly in mid-air, rapidly reflecting a myriad of faces under the weak winter sunlight.

The solemn Sengoku, the teasingly smiling Portgas D. Ace, the serious-faced Marines, and Darren with blood dripping from his mouth...

Time seemed to slow down at this moment.

In the biting winter wind, flakes of pure white snow danced gracefully downward, soon melting into the parched earth.

Bonnie Waldo stared blankly at the flipping coin, its smooth surface flashing with images of memories buried deep within her mind.

Visions of grandeur, spoken from the precipice of a cliff overlooking the vast ocean in my youth;

The danger of the first voyage encountering a storm;

The fear of first encountering ferocious pirates;

The first time recruiting crew, the first time fighting, the first time killing…

Bonnie Ward's fierce eyes gradually softened.

Deep in his mind, a tender and familiar voice, softly echoed:

"Look, Waldo... This sea connects us to all sorts of islands and countries we've never seen before. Don't you think it's amazing"

"Waldor, from now on you must go to sea... At the end of this boundless ocean, there must be adventures beyond imagination waiting for you."

“You should go further than me, explore this world and grow up strong.”

The young child, looking at his older brother standing tall with his hands raised high and a confident expression on his face, gradually had a bright light appear on their face.

Brother, I'm so sorry...

Without you, even if I reach the end of the world and see countless landscapes after this vast ocean, what's the point

Bonnie Waldo smiles.

Lift your face to greet the sunshine and snowflakes.

Tut!

A blood flower exploded on his chest.

The coin, fallen to its lowest point, shot out abruptly, piercing straight through his heart.

Bondy Waldo's eyes slowly closed, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Zhan Guo watched this scene in silence, his expression solemn.

According to normal regulations, facing a pirate like Bundy Waldo who possesses a powerful Devil Fruit ability, the Marines would try their best to capture him alive and then send him to Impel Down for long-term imprisonment.

To make sure that this powerful Devil Fruit won't be reborn in other parts of the sea, or fall into the hands of some ambitious pirate.

But he did not stop Darren.

Because in the perception of the domineering aura of Kenbunshoku, Bundy Waldo's presence was as weak as a wisp.

Under such severe injuries, no one could possibly survive.

To fulfill his wish, let him die by Darren's hand. This was the last respect that Warring States, a longtime rival of Bundy Waldo, could offer.

The coin spun back into his hand with a graceful arc, and Darren turned to look at Wargon, a small smile playing on his lips.

"The mission is complete, Warring States General."

Warring States was startled and immediately turned his head to issue orders to his subordinates:

Set sail immediately and sink the last pirate ship of the Ward Pirates, wiping out the remnants!

"No, it's not necessary."

Darren gave a weak smile and pulled out a blood-stained communicator from his pocket, dialing the signal.

"...Darren Base Chief." The rat's steady voice came from the phone bug.

Has the target been locked

"Yes."

Then shoot him dead.

No problem.

The moment the words fell silent,

As if sensing something, Sengoku's face contorted in astonishment as he lifted his head.

Seen suspended in the high sky was a fleet of warships from the Beihai, one naval vessel slowly adjusting its direction.

Suddenly, a black missile emerged from one side of the hull.

Then,

Boom!!

The black missile's tail abruptly ejected a fiery orange plume, detaching from the warship's hull and streaking away across the distant ocean in a long trail of flame.

Two seconds later, a dull explosion echoed from the surface of the sea. A faint flickering light rose and fell in the thick sea mist.

Zhan Guo stared blankly, dumbfounded. His face was a picture of utter confusion.

What the heck is that!

"Reporting to Darren, the target has been sunk."

The voice of the flying squirrel echoed once again through the telephone worm.

"Well done!"

Darren chuckled, hung up the Commlink, and looked at Sengoku.

"Report to the Warlord, the mission is complete."

“During this crusade against the Ward Pirates, the North Sea Fleet sunk five enemy ships and killed over three thousand pirates. The Ward Pirates' captain, Bondi Waldo, and his first mate, Jack, were executed on the spot!”

"On the side of the Beihai Fleet, casualties were... zero."before him."Well, that's a truly moving and dramatic story…"Darren clapped, a mocking smile playing on his lips.“This truly evokes sympathy, a foolish father, a tender mother, and a rebellious and obs...
