The warship's engines roared to life. In no time, it reached the waters near Syrup Village.
Two smaller warships were docked on the sea.
Ryuya and Kalifa, using Moonwalk, landed on the warships.
Countless Navy soldiers lay dead in pools of blood on the decks.
Among them, the one who most caught Ryuya's eye was a man with a shattered chin and an ax-like arm.
This man was named Morgan, who would soon become a Colonel.
Morgan lay in the blood, his eyes fixed on the sky, looking quite terrifying.
But Ryuya knew he was under hypnosis.
After searching the two small warships, Kalifa came to Ryuya's side and said softly, "Besides this man, no one else survived on the ships."
[Ding! Sign-in quest issued: Syrup Village, Reward: Peak Medical Skill, Time Limit: 1 day.]
One day seemed like a short time.
But it was enough, considering the speed of an Admiral-class warship.
"It seems like Kuru has escaped. If I'm not mistaken, he should have gone to Syrup Village."
Ryuya looked at Morgan lying in the blood and said softly, "But before we go after Kuru, we should heal Morgan first. After all, he's still a very good Navy soldier!"
Yes, Morgan was originally a very promising Navy soldier, but after being hypnotized by Jango, his personality changed drastically. That's why he became so irritable later on.
Ryuya didn't want to see what would happen in the future.
"But, how should we help him? We don't know how to hypnotize!"
"I might not know how to hypnotize, but if it's something that affects the mind, I'm confident I can undo it!"
With that, Ryuya looked into Morgan's eyes.
His Devil Fruit ability activated!
Ryuya directly used the illusions he had created in his mind through his eyes, casting them into Morgan's mind.
This was one of the advanced applications of the Bijo Bijo no Mi.
It was a skill that Ryuya had been researching for a long time and had finally developed.
For now, it could only be used on people with low mental strength.
However, this also proved that the Bijo Bijo no Mi had unlimited possibilities!
After about five minutes, Morgan's dull eyes gradually regained their focus.
He looked at Ryuya and Kalifa, his eyes filled with confusion.
Then, he saw the blood on the deck.
Countless soldiers had been killed on the warship.
This made Morgan's heart clench.
"What happened? Why are they all dead!"
Morgan stood up from the blood. The shock made his pupils constrict.
"It's not your fault. You can only blame Kuru!"
Hearing Ryuya's words, Morgan suddenly remembered.
They had been chasing Kuru, but they seemed to have been tricked.
Then, he saw a man with a hat and white hair, and he completely forgot everything that happened after that.
"Kalifa, you and Morgan each take a warship and wait at the nearby Navy branch. I'll take care of Kuru. I'll come get you after I've dealt with them."
The last sentence was addressed to Kalifa.
"Okay, I understand."
Kalifa had complete faith in Ryuya's strength.
So, she immediately, along with Morgan, each drove a warship towards the Navy branch.
Ryuya, using his Devil Fruit ability, drove the Admiral-class warship quickly towards Syrup Village.
"A New Threat"
At this time, Kuru's Black Cat Pirates had arrived at the shore of Syrup Village.
They lowered their pirate flag, not attracting anyone's attention.
Jango looked at Kuru and said, "Captain, are you really sure you want to stop sailing on the sea?"
"I'm tired of this life. I just want to blend into the peaceful life of the island."
Kuru looked at Jango and said, "In three years, I'll have blended into the life of the island under a new identity. Come find me then, understand?"
Kuru, known as "Kuru of a Hundred Plans."
This meant that he had an extraordinary intellect.
When he wanted a peaceful life, he had already planned for things years in advance.
Jango looked at Kuru's determination and sighed, "I understand, Captain. I'll come find you in three years."
Kuru nodded, then left the ship and walked towards the center of the island.
After watching Captain Kuru disappear from their sight, Jango said to the other pirates, "Let's go, we're going to set sail. From today, I'm the captain of the Black Cat Pirates!"
"Yes, Captain!"
However, they had only just left Syrup Village when they saw an outrageous warship appearing in their sight.
"Captain, a-ahead, there's a warship, a huge warship!"
Although Jango wore glasses, his eyesight was still pretty good.
He clearly saw the incomparably huge warship.
They had seen many warships, but they had never seen one this big.
Suddenly, Jango realized something.
Recently, he had read in the newspaper about the Marineford headquarters Admiral White Dove appearing in the four seas.
He had been killing off any pirates he encountered who were guilty of serious crimes, and those who had just set sail were sent directly to prison.
It was a killing spree.
This iron-fisted approach had made many people terrified.
Thinking of this, Jango didn't hesitate for a second. He immediately raised his hands and shouted to the crew around him, "Hurry! Hurry up and raise your hands! We surrender!"
Jango felt like they were off to a bad start.
He had finally become the captain of the Black Cat Pirates, and he had only been at sea for a short time.
He had already encountered White Dove's warship, which made him very depressed.
But as long as they could survive, that was all that mattered!
Ryuya stood on the deck, watching all the crew members on the Black Cat Pirates' ship raise their hands and shout "Surrender."
Even Ryuya couldn't help but chuckle at this scene.
He slowly stopped the warship and looked down at all the members of the Black Cat Pirates.
At this moment, the atmosphere was very tense.
Sweat beaded on Jango's forehead.
This world was a world of the strong prey on the weak.
Ryuya was stronger than them, so he could decide their fate.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Ryuya's voice came from afar: "..."
