396. Something Weird

Boom!!

Weevil's forward momentum came to an abrupt halt, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The screams resounded through the sky.

"Ah——!!! It hurts so much!"

Sheathing his sword, Atlas appeared behind Weevil and looked coldly at him, who was hugging his legs and wailing.

The blood flowed like a heavy stream, and his thigh was broken at the root, mixed with Miss Buckin's blood that soaked his body in scarlet.

He seemed to have become a bloody man.

"The dream of becoming a Shichibukai...let me break it myself."

After murmuring in a low voice, Atlas's feet were covered in Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki lingered, black lightning flashed in the sky, sand and rocks flew around, and bursts of air waves exploded out of thin air.

Bang!!

Atlas's toes touched Weevil's head, and the terrifying power was released, causing his red and white brains to burst out instantly.

It seemed that Weevil was immersed in mourning until his death.

Weevil without Miss Buckin was like a wolf pack without a leader. He had great power but didn't have the brain to concentrate it into one point.

Water 7.

Strolling along the bustling streets, there were vendors on both sides shouting at each other.

Atlas walked around with a relaxed pace, followed by Ain who followed suit. Both of them were wearing casual clothes.

The surrounding pirates who recognized him were afraid to avoid him, and the street cleared up in an instant.

After all, his reputation among pirates was not very good.

"Admiral Atlas, when are we going back?"

Ain suddenly asked.

"What's wrong?"

Tom and Franky were sent to Sky Island by him to concentrate on building battleships that could match a Buster Call. Of course, this so-called Sky Island was created by himself, so it was very concealed. As long as he didn't want to, no one could find the location of Tom and others.

In the previous scene of the Sea Kings attack, CP believed that Tom had died in the belly of the fish. Even if they didn't believe it, they still had to. No one could find him.

"I have never been to the New World before, and I want to fight pirates as soon as possible!"

There was a look of determination on Ain's face. He was a pure person who simply hated pirates.

"You want to leave Water 7 now?"

A street vendor nearby suddenly spoke up.

Snap!!

Atlas stopped and looked at the merchant with searching eyes.

"The annual Aqua Laguna is coming soon. There are no ships that can leave Water 7. You should stay here and wait for the storm to pass before leaving. I will close the store early soon."

Atlas and Ain looked at each other.

The Aqua Laguna, is an annual tsunami in Water 7, which comes at almost a fixed month.

They didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. As soon as they arrived, they met the rare Aqua Laguna. No one else was so lucky.

Rumble!!

Before he finished speaking, the cloudless sky suddenly darkened, and among the rolling thunderclouds, electric snakes appeared.

"Oops!"

The vendor's expression changed drastically, "Why is it so early? We need to inform everyone immediately!"

Like the wind and the remaining clouds, he quickly packed up the things next to him and ran frantically towards his home.

Running along the way, he shouted, "Everyone, hurry up and pack up. This year's Aqua Laguna seem to be a day or two ahead of schedule!"

"It seems their preparations are not in place this time?"

Ain frowned slightly, seeming to have realized something.

"Forget it, just help as much as you can, after all, lives are at stake."

The outskirts of Water 7.

The terrifying tsunami roared angrily, and the huge waves rolled into the sky like evil ghosts with teeth and claws.

Along the coast, residents were busy with their own affairs, and children were playing. This destructive posture naturally alerted them immediately.

Huge waves rolled in from the sea, reaching as far as the eye could see. Fishing boats and pirate ships docked at the port were instantly swallowed up.

Some low-rise and old bungalows in the port were instantly destroyed and submerged under the overwhelming force.

Rumble!!

Thunder roared and lightning suddenly appeared, making the entire sky shine brightly.

"Run quickly!!"

"The Aqua Laguna is ahead of schedule!"

"Don't worry about the stuff at home!"

The sharp shouts woke these residents from their daze.

Turning around, they saw people fleeing with their families like crazy towards the high ground in the central city from the streets, alleys, waterways, and even on the flat roofs on both sides.

They turned pale, threw down their belongings, and hurriedly followed the crowd into the city.

Scenes like this were constantly happening in every corner of Water 7.

When Atlas's floating body came to the northern city, he looked down and saw it was densely packed with fleeing people.

Several residents with panicked expressions stumbled towards this side, glancing back frequently as if something terrible was chasing them.

They were in a race with death.

Atlas looked past them, his eyes lingering, and he suddenly stared.

In the rushing water, a strange sea beast with four limbs chased them crazily.

"Is this the Aqua Laguna? Even sea beasts are attracted..."

Atlas's expression darkened. "But why is it a little different from the Aqua Laguna I know?"

Suddenly, under the light of thunder, a red spot appeared between the sea beast's eyebrows.

"This is..."

"That kid, stop standing there stupidly! Didn't you see that the tsunami was about to submerge this place?"

The residents below noticed Atlas's figure and shouted eagerly.

Atlas's eyes flashed, ignoring their shouts. He placed his right hand on Kaminari around his waist.

The scarlet murderous aura almost turned into substance, and he slashed out with one strike!

Swish!!

The sound of breaking through the air echoed, and the brilliant sword light flashed away.

The sea beast chasing wildly was split into two in an instant, and a red crystal fell to the ground.

It was washed away by the seawater instantly.

However, Atlas hooked his finger, and the red crystal broke out of the water and rushed towards him at high speed.

"So... so strong!"

"It's so simple..."

Seeing the sea beast that had just chased them and fled in embarrassment easily dealt with, several residents trembled and stood stunned.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Atlas retracted his sword, jumped down, came to a few people, and asked casually, "Has the Aqua Laguna ever included attacks by sea beasts in previous years?"

"Eh? Now that you mention it, I don't think so..."

One resident scratched his head in confusion.
