"Where are you four trying to run?"
John caught up with them and was slightly shocked to see four of them: apart from the square-faced, snotty, disgusting guy, the other three looked like young teenagers.
"So young, and already pirates? And they look familiar to me."
The fact that these guys had joined the pirate crew at such a young age surprised John, but it didn't soften him, and for some reason he felt they were familiar to him.
"That lookout must be the one who just created the forest, we can't fight him."
Trebol was smart, the branch's attack made him know John's identity and the first thing he said to the other three was a warning.
"There is still a sea nearby, it must be a fruit farm, if we can get to the sea, we will be safe," Vergo said.
"No, us too, almost all the fruiters, we can't go into the sea."
There was a shrill voice, it was the second of the four, wearing a golden helmet, obviously masculine in appearance, but the voice that sounded was shrill, not masculine, and it stung the skin.
However, the other three were clearly used to Pica's voice.
"I'm not a fruit man, I might be able to survive if I bet, but if we fight him, we have almost no chance of winning."
The men were arrogant but not blind, and Vergo felt they were no match for John, so they only thought about what to do to back off.
"Listen to Vergo, find a way to stop him and escape across the sea."
Trebol was the eldest and made up his mind right away, not to mention that it would be difficult for them to defeat Jon, and even if they could, what would that be, there were many Marines nearby and they had no chance of winning.
"Diamanti, Pika, Vergo, don't hold back, give it your all."
"Let's run!"
At the first opportunity, the four of them ran towards the sea.
"Geppo!"
John constantly bounced into the air and flew over the heads of the fleeing quartet at high speed, landing in front of them.
Before John could say anything, the four had already struck the first blow, and only Trebol's body exuded a thick lilac slime, forming bead-shaped chains of slime that flew towards John.
John raised an eyebrow as a wooden board quickly appeared in front of him, stopping all that slime.
Surprisingly, it was a long sword, and it turned out to be long, light as silk cloth, and very fast, it looked like silk cloth, but glowed with a chilling light.
"Fruit?"
John, slightly surprised, used the litter to cross to the other side of the battlefield, but along with it, a stone stick appeared, with a figure, the figure jumped up and hit John hard on the head.
Not only that, several spiked stone pillars suddenly appeared around John and pierced into him.
"Interesting!"
It was only after seeing a few of them throwing punches that it was already clear that they possessed at least two fruiters, and other than that hideous-looking square face, the other three teenagers didn't seem weak.
"Rankyaku!"
With both feet, he delivered quick slashing blows to the rankyak, his blows scattered stone pillars with spikes, and the teenager who attacked him from above was even sent flying with one blow.
"Good hit, but still too weak."
The strength of these teenagers was really good, and they were also fruit pickers, a nice combination that could make a name for themselves if they were placed in one of the four seas.
But it was a pity that they met John, whose current strength, if put on the Grant Line, could at least reach Supernova level with a bounty of more than 100 million, it was just not something they could handle now.
Among the four, the future Vergo would be considered very strong, but the current Vergo, who was about ten years old, could be at what level?
Diamanti and Pica were similar, and even if they were fruit pickers, they had only just entered the stage of development and could not pose much of a threat to John.
They joined forces to attack John, but it was clear that they were still weaker than the enemy, they held on because their abilities had some interesting techniques, and John was not going to deal with them quickly.
"Get out of here, I'll stop him."
A high-pitched voice (screech) was heard, and seeing that she was no match for John, Pica suddenly screamed and merged with the rock, turning into a stone man, several times larger than before, and crashed into John with force.
Trebol's eyes flashed, and then he said to Vergo and Diamanti, "Run."
In this situation, if they stay, then all four of them will not be able to leave, and since Pica realized this, they no longer hesitated, but immediately turned around and ran away.
"Do you want to run?"
When John saw that the other three were trying to escape, his eyes turned cold and he was about to chase after them, but the stone man Pica had turned into pounced on him and attacked him.
John frowned, he was still flesh and blood and the rocks were hard, Pica's furious attack made him dodge so his pursuit path was blocked by the rock man.
"Since you seek death, I will give it to you."
Although the teenager was surprised that he decided to buy time for his comrade, John didn't relent and used his strongest attack right in the face of the burly stone man.
"Rokuogan (Cannon of the Six Kings)!"
This move even defeated Coleman, and just because Pica turned into a stone man thanks to his fruit picker power didn't mean he could block this move.
After the impact, John did not bother with the stone man, who froze in place, but quickly followed the three fleeing.
The trio, taking advantage of Pika's self-sacrifice, ran to the sea, but to their despair found that they were on a rock, and although the sea was close, it was infinitely far away.
"What are you waiting for, this is our only way to survive."
When Vergo saw that Trebol and Diamanti were still hesitant, he told them and jumped off the cliff.
Trebol and Diamanti, uttering a frightened cry, jumped from a cliff, all three fell from a cliff tens of meters high and soon fell into the sea.
When John caught up with them, it was already late, his face was grim, the determination of the three surprised him greatly, as they all jumped into the sea without hesitation when they had the opportunity.
"Shouldn't fate be in balance?"
At such a long distance, even with his abilities, it was difficult to attack, his control over sea plants was not as good as over plants on land, and there were relatively fewer plants in the sea than on land.
The reason he wanted to capture them was because John knew the quartet's origin, he couldn't be sure before the fight, but after the fight he could already be sure.
These four should be the four elite officers of the future Donquixote family: Trepol, Vergo, Diamanti, and Pica, with their fruit picking ability and looks that could match each other.
The Donquixote Pirates are definitely real bastards, both because of what they did in the North Blue and what they did in the new world, they are all guilty of big crimes.
The fact that they were able to raise Doflamingo to be such a bastard speaks volumes about how bastard they were.
Upon recognizing these four men, John's first priority was to end them, as the future damage they would cause would definitely be greater than what Coleman's pirate crew had just done.
In the selfish and selfish world of pirates, there were still people who were ready to sacrifice themselves to save others, which surprised John very much.
Since it was not possible to catch up with him, John did not dwell on this, we will talk about this later, when he has the opportunity.
Dragging an unconscious Pica behind him, John walked back down the route he had just come from.
