All Parties are Moving

"I understand, Miles. I will avenge you and the guild master!" Jeff took a deep breath, filled with determination. Hearing this, Miles smiled happily and prepared himself for the storm.

In a situation where the remaining Rose Society forces, numbering around four thousand, were unaware, Jeff quietly disappeared. On the other hand, Miles seemed to be waiting for something, openly staying in the town.

However, after several days, ten massive snail ships sailed through the distant seas towards the island. Upon reaching the shore, many Jelma soldiers quickly assembled at the harbour. Roughly estimated, their numbers exceeded two thousand.

"Block all the ports and prevent anyone from leaving the island!" Wearing 'Akablood,' clad in a black cloak and with a tall and imposing figure, Qin Ge walked calmly through a passage intentionally left open between the formations of Jelma soldiers. He then casually waved his hand.

One thousand Jelma soldiers immediately followed his orders and began sealing off the island to prevent the remnants of the Rose Society from escaping in the chaos.

Naturally, chaos erupted at various ports, but under the intimidating presence of the Jelma soldiers, no one dared to resist. Even if they did, the ruthless Jelma soldiers would suppress any resistance mercilessly, quelling any opposition.

Leading the remaining one thousand soldiers, Qin Ge entered the town on the island and eventually arrived at a remote estate.

Starting with Miles, hundreds of Rose Society fighters emerged from the beautiful estate. They watched Qin Ge closely, some with indifference and others with fierce hostility.

"It seems you have made up your minds. What about the others?" Qin Ge halted his steps. The Jelma soldiers behind him also stopped, displaying the discipline of elite troops.

"'Blood Dragon Sword Master Qin Ge Allen, you came. It looks like I haven't waited in vain these past few days. You don't need to look for anyone else. We have no one left except those who are here. Those who lacked determination have already been driven out of the Rose Society. The people here are all the enemies you will face!" Miles stared at Qin Ge firmly and said.

Qin Ge wasn't surprised that Miles addressed him by name, and he didn't find the title "Blood Dragon Sword Master" unexpected. His reputation had spread widely, especially after the recent battle with the Rose Society. 

The World Economic Gazette, an organization relying on intelligence, had publicized his deeds. Although they hadn't discovered his identity as a Marine, they had revealed almost everything else about his recent actions.

Recently, the World Economic Gazette has published numerous reports about the battle with the Rose Society, and Qin Ge has received more coverage in the news than even Vince Smoke Gajeel. 

Except for his identity as a Marine, everything else about Qin Ge's recent exploits had been thoroughly investigated and reported.

The title "Blood Dragon Sword Master" came from this coverage and had been widely accepted by those who had seen the reports. 

The World Economic Gazette justified it by considering "dragon" a symbol of a powerful mythical creature, which matched the strength Qin Ge had demonstrated.

"All the enemies? I'm not so sure. At the very least, I haven't seen Mr Jeff, who is one of the three great forces of the Rose Society," Qin Ge said calmly.

Qin Ge had already obtained information about Miles and Jeff from Jelma's intelligence agency. After scanning the area, he didn't see anyone who resembled Jeff.

"Enough talk. Today, I'll avenge the guildmaster!" Miles chose self-sacrifice to create an opportunity for Jeff to escape. He would not allow Qin Ge to continue pursuing Jeff.

His incredible killing intent erupted, and Miles charged at Qin Ge with a roar. Standing nearby, hundreds of Rose Society fighters also moved to attack, prepared for a fight to the death.

Miles didn't possess a Devil Fruit ability, but he was an influential expert specializing in physical strength and Haki, possibly even stronger than Stussy. 

His entire body was covered in a dark purple Busoshoku Haki, resembling a steel warrior. Miles displayed formidable physical strength as he approached Qin Ge, and in an instant, the air around them was compressed into a violent shockwave, making Qin Ge's clothes rustle.

With a loud boom, the furious punch suddenly stopped, and a substantial circular shockwave radiated outward, affecting an area several dozen meters wide.

Qin Ge lifted his left leg, with Armament Haki covering the sole of his foot, and stepped on Miles' fist, effectively blocking Miles' full-powered punch.

"Your Busoshoku Haki is exquisite, but it's useless against me," Qin Ge said calmly.

He applied a sudden force with his foot, and a terrifying power burst out, causing Miles to lose control of his position and retreat.

Miles' face turned pale, and he quickly took steps backwards to stop his retreat. He stared at Qin Ge with a mix of astonishment and anger.

"Even the sword didn't work, and you're suppressing me solely with Busoshoku Haki and physical strength. Is this the person who defeated Guildmaster Tamara?"

He felt an intense dread and unease, but Miles didn't succumb to fear. He had chosen to stay and had long prepared for the possibility of death.

"Attack!" With a furious roar, Miles assembled Busoshoku Haki and launched a fierce assault on Qin Ge, unleashing a flurry of powerful punches.

Qin Ge didn't draw his sword but covered his hands with Busoshoku Haki. He engaged in a fierce battle with Miles, exchanging punches with his formidable opponent.

With numerous new abilities waiting to be tested, Qin Ge saw this high-level expert as a perfect sparring partner. Meanwhile, the hundreds of Rose Society fighters engaged in intense battles with the Jelma soldiers who had surrounded them.
