Chapter 196

In flight, Mor was in no hurry, he did not want to give the slightest opportunity for the enemy to escape, just like his subordinates. He decided to kill all of them from the very beginning, even before the start of this battle, so James was not going to give them a chance for salvation. What's the point in keeping such strong opponents alive? The information on Im is just a bonus that he hoped to bargain in good conditions, after realizing Jack's age. Naturally, he had absolutely no hope for this old agent and his word. To believe a person who took thousands of lives is at least not a very smart idea. In addition, he may well not keep his promise. Pestilence will surely hold back its own, turning the enemy into ashes was not so difficult!

True, some slowness of the enemy was not hidden from James. He probably still hoped for reinforcements. More was not particularly worried about this, no matter how he hesitated, but Jack also knew when to stop. Overdo it even a little, and his friends will go to feed the fish simply having lost their stamina, and their death is equal to the loss of an important figure in the battle - this is definitely undesirable. Plus, getting help from Marineford here will take at least a few hours on the fastest ships of the patrol, and from the new base the time is not much different. It is far too unlikely that the fight will drag on for so long. He had already dragged on enough, so Mor planned, maybe he was in no hurry, but he did not intend to sit for a long time. Although, he still slightly wanted to fight this help ...

After flying about ten kilometers more, the Sea Devil began to descend, and Jack hurried after, turning into a bloody fog. This was a special ability of his awakened logic, unfortunately, he was able to maintain it for no more than a second. If not, then this fight would have been very different. She was a bit of a quick dodge skill and a great ability for agility in battle. In addition, the conditions of the will of weapons did not apply to it, which made it indispensable in active hand-to-hand combat or an important technique under conditions requiring to break the distance. In general, Jack's fruit never let him down, for a reason it could be called one of the strongest Paramecia in the world. Unfortunately, this time he faced the wrong enemy.

After Jack was already followed by a little tired comrades. Medusa and Perch were still holding on, but Lucci definitely fizzled out from such a long use of Geppo. This technique was certainly not designed to cross such distances. Only real masters in it were able to move for kilometers. This was the highest indicator of the mastery of the ability.

From a height, the island looked like a huge sandy plateau, with one tall mountain and a dozen destroyed palms. Here the shock wave created by the Sea Devils definitely passed. True, this did not particularly affect the island itself; it was perfect for battle.

The mountain was surrounded by a slightly smaller one, but Mor chose a large deserted canyon at their foot, and standing further away began to wait for the enemy. Jack arrived in time at the same moment, stopping two dozen meters from the enemy. With their ability to reach each other in such a short space, it will be easy. It will be no different from taking a small step towards battle. Therefore, such a distance did not mean anything.

Three agents of SP-0 stopped a hundred meters away from these two, oddly enough, but it seems they decided not to interfere. Mor did not insist, although he would have attacked their situation at an opportunity. Now the hour of the battle has come, he has already given them too many indulgences!

Returning his cold gaze to Jack, Mor no longer smiled, he just unhooked his cloak, leaving him naked to the waist. Red beads gleamed in the sun, and the man's dark hair suddenly began to flutter from the rushing wind. A storm was rising!

Jack threw away his lust for blood, as the enemy cleared his mind of extraneous things, preparing to fight. Jack knew it would be too difficult to survive, but this slowdown on a short journey could play into his hands. Previously, he no longer believed in help, but now everything could burn out. It remains only to hold out ...

A few minutes earlier and days before, in the New World, even without the Sea Devil, events went on as usual. Calmer, but sometimes dangerous and bloody. So, for example, after the transfer of the Marines Headquarters to almost the borderlands of Totto Land, Sakazuki began to actively engage in catching pirates who did not join the Yonko, of whom there were still enough. Unlike his past leader, Sakazuki was actively engaged in the destruction of pirates on his own. The most unpleasant for him personally, he simply killed. Although, of course, after he was promoted, he held back, but the murders sometimes took place.

Sakazuki hated pirates and everything related to them wildly. His hatred for them turned out to be so strong that he, without a twinge of conscience, was ready to risk his people and even civilians to eliminate the degenerates of the underworld he hated. With his sad past, this was to some extent even justified. Therefore, it is not surprising that a man with such an ardent disposition was not even averse to working under the World Government. He didn't like it, but the choice was limited. With the Marine resources, capturing and killing pirates was much easier than in the old days of the bounty hunter. In addition, once, Sakazuki gave his word to one person that he would definitely become the greatest sentinel and eradicate the pirate threat completely.

Therefore, with the arrival of such a person, the surrounding areas of the Yonko territories were faced with an annoying problem. Shanks was not affected, but the territories of the Sea Devil and Kaido are very much even. On the territory of the first, dangerous pirates were still hiding, on the territory of the second there were a little less of them. Although the Marines did not officially invade Yonko lands, Sakazuki and his men mostly attacked rogue pirates. Now, after the death of Big Mom, a surprising number of similar ones have appeared. In addition, the free pirates preferred the lands of the Sea Devil than the tyrannical Kaido who wanted to drive everyone under his flag. So the pirates proliferated, especially after Whitebeard's speech. It was a real hunting season for the Marines. True, even though the pirates were caught, everyone tried not to make much noise or attract the attention of the Sea Devil, everyone knew his character, so Sakazuki was afraid to bother such a madman once again. If he breaks into the new Marine base and makes a fuss there, it could cost them dearly. In addition, another war was expected, the marines were accumulating strength, and Sakazuki himself was looking forward to the day of meeting the Sea Devil, that petty pirate who killed Borsalino. He really wanted to set fire to his ship and kill his entire crew, and publicly execute him as they once tried to execute Ace!
