Chapter 352 - Punk Hazard 02.

Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]

Third Person POV

New World.

...

...

"I'm going to handle something." Vice-Admiral Vergo stepped out of his office and notified the men of G5, who looked more like bandits than navy soldiers saluting the vice-admiral who stayed in the New World to protect them while the rest of the navy fought against the Whitebeard pirates.

The New World was a chaos, unsurprisingly, and Vergo was trying to keep the sea controlled, dispatching soldiers and ships to manage those regions.

He had been in touch with Dressrosa while they reported on the path the Donquixote family would take, thirsty for revenge to kill those who caused Doflamingo's death, Vergo ended up agreeing to affiliate with Kaido.

He received the latest updates on the plans and decided to head to Punk Hazard with a ship to escort Caesar to Wano to work with Queen in the land of the samurais' factories.

"Vice-Admiral Vergo is leaving..."

"Where is he going... the sea is a chaos... with a growing number of pirates emerging..."

As they complained, Vergo kept leaving without caring about the comments, he simply left the base and flew into the air with geppo, as he advanced towards a ship from Dressrosa on the sea heading to Punk Hazard.

He arrived at the ship a moment later and everyone greeted him. "Vergo, it's been a long time since I've seen you..." A man with spiky hair crossed his arms.

"Yes." Vergo was terse, he was not in a good mood, as everyone was mourning the fall of their former boss.

The ship continued sailing until Punk Hazard finally appeared to them, while Vergo left the ship to meet Caesar and Monet, but as soon as he walked through the doors where he had access and encountered the two tied up with seastone, and with their mouths shut.

"What's going on here...?!" He murmured looking at Caesar trying to speak to him, but with an incomprehensible voice.

But in the next moment, his attention was drawn to the corridor ahead, when he heard footsteps approaching and from one of the corridors, a person emerged walking calmly towards him.

Vergo looked at Luffy behind his glasses with a quite bewildered expression, seeing one of the people he and his family wanted to destroy, there in front of him.

"Vice-Admiral Vergo... So you're here..." Luffy spoke with a smile.

"Mugiwara..." Vergo murmured with a dark tone despite keeping serious.

"It's good to see a dog of Doflamingo here too... I had the desire to kill him, but my partner got there first... not that I can blame her, since my wife would be very sad if I took her goal of revenge." Luffy started calmly.

Vergo looked at him unstartled that Luffy knew about his affiliation with the Donquixote pirates, as he tested himself burning with rage inside, so much that he couldn't hold back anymore and exploded the floor passing through Caesar and Monet ready to kill the straw hat.

'The reports indicate that Monkey D. Luffy could no longer use the abilities of his fruits at the end of the war... this is the chance to kill him when there seems to be no one else from his crew here.' Vergo thought as he approached Luffy with his still open smile.

Luffy saw the man raise his staff as he moved towards him. Luffy quickly drew his sword at the last second, clashing against the weapon with haki and generating a wave of yellow lightning.

Vergo clenched his teeth, seeing that Luffy was truly powerful with haki, trying to put as much power into his haki, but Luffy had evolved even further with basic haki and began to cut through Vergo's haki.

"You really are a powerful haki user, Vergo, but your limit is just the basic form," Luffy taunted, slicing through the bamboo. Vergo felt his arm being severed from his body the next moment.

Before he could react, with blood spreading around, with Caesar and Monet watching this scene stunned and with a glint of fear, Luffy moved and punched him in the chest. Vergo put his arm in front to protect himself from the attack, unable to properly react to Luffy's attack and his body flew backwards, breaking the walls of the laboratory in a straight line.

Vergo was not having an easy time as he felt the pain of losing an arm. He tried to stand firm so as not to break the other with a punch from Luffy, which made him break all the walls until stopping in the eighth room after that punch, finally falling to the ground with some debris falling on him. He was a bit breathless and growled feeling immense pain.

He tried to lift his head and, the next moment, Luffy appeared in front of him, trying to punch him once more. Vergo quickly used Soru to move away, but Luffy reappeared by his side the next moment.

"You are slow!" Luffy commented, delivering another punch to Vergo, who flew into the wall, exploding again.

Luffy looked to that side of the wall and began walking forward, raising an eyebrow with Vergo finally reacting, flying towards him transformed all in armament haki.

Even with just one arm, Vergo did not seem to give up, at a disadvantage, trying to hit Luffy, who quickly put his hand in front, waiting to see the strength of the opponent, as he was dragged a few meters back, but nothing compared to what he did to Vergo, not even passing five meters.

"Interesting," Luffy murmured and sheathed his sword while his arms transformed, coated in haki, getting ready to fight. He flew the next moment towards Vergo. Meanwhile, Caesar and Monet could only hear the explosions while the whole place trembled with the intense battle in the next moments.

"They are destroying my entire laboratory," Caesar complained with his muffled voice, as he could not speak with his mouth gagged with a rope. Monet was frightened seeing Vergo's arm fallen on the ground in front of them.

The explosions continued until Vergo, again, flew into that room, hitting against the wall, cracking it. He tried to stay standing, but he was all bruised. Even with his whole body wrapped in haki, blood was spread all over the place. He had his arm broken, his ribs, and his organs were all damaged. Even his glasses had already fallen off, leaving him in a deplorable state.

Luffy burst through the wall he came from, while approaching calmly, looking at the man mockingly. "I thought you would be a greater challenge, but you are too weak," Luffy commented. Despite having faced several vice-admirals and used just haki and the six styles to defeat many of them in the war, he expected more from Vergo, since he was a challenge for Trafalgar Law in the original.

Luffy, sighing, decided to finish this. He simply removed his sword again from its sheath and showed it to Vergo, who could only look at it now without being able to do much.

Vergo was without his weapon and his whole body was broken. The only thing he could maintain was his haki, but it was also already at its limit after just a few blows from Luffy.

Luffy didn't care. He turned his body as he placed his sword behind him. It began to glow with red lightning. Preparing to make his move, he then spun quickly releasing his attack.

At the last millisecond, Vergo, even with a broken arm, put his hand in his pocket and was cut the next moment, Monet and Caesar, who were crouched on the ground, saw the blow passing over their heads.

"Hey, what's going on up there?" one of the Donquixote family members asked curiously, hearing the explosions coming from the large mountain on Punk Hazard Island, not understanding what was happening there.

"Who knows. Maybe Vergo is annoyed with Monet or something," another man spoke.

But then, the next moment, a huge lightning strike in the shape of a cut emerged from the mountain and went in all directions of the island, piercing all the other peaks of the island as they were cut along that line. The lightning passed over the ship, generating wind with the members only able to protect themselves by putting their hands in front.

"Hey, what was that?!" the lackeys of the Donquixote pirates quickly ducked in fear, as Gladius looked with narrowed eyes, wondering what was happening and looking up at the sky.

"Hey, look there," a man pointed to the island again.

"What??!!!" Others exclaimed.

The next moment, everyone was looking at the mountain from where that cut with electricity came out, seeing it fly in half with the Smile factory being cut by Luffy's sword, which made a 360° movement.

Everything turned into chaos after that in the laboratory, explosions began to emerge all over the place, while Caesar and Monet were in the middle of it all, with the former screaming desperately not wanting to die or complaining about the destruction of his laboratory.

The mountain began to fly over the laboratory, while falling down, creating a cataclysm on the island with explosions and tremors. Luffy saw this with satisfaction, as the Smile factory was destroyed with this movement with Vergo being cut. He looked ahead, where there was Vergo, with half of his body cut. Unlike what happened with Law, Vergo was really cut and his life was quickly ending as he couldn't react while having only half of his body. Luffy raised an eyebrow, seeing him with a look of despair holding a den den mushi that he had pulled from his pocket before Luffy cut him.

"Vice-Admiral Vergo, are you there?" A female voice continued calling from the den den mushi. "What is all this noise, where are you and what is happening?!"

"Monkey D. Luffy," Vergo murmured as he was dying, still managing to speak in his last moments. "He killed me at Punk Hazard..." He said dropping the den den mushi the next moment, while Vergo looked at the now open sky. "Soon I'll be meeting you, Doflamingo..." He couldn't help but murmur and Luffy raised an eyebrow at that.

'This guy is certainly loyal...' He couldn't help feeling a bit of admiration for the man as he died.

"Vice-Admiral Vergo, Vice-Admiral Vergo?!" The voice on the fallen female den den mushi kept calling;

"He's dead," Luffy decided to speak as the woman on the other end of the line opened her eyes and was stunned before glaring with hatred.

"You are Monkey D. Luffy, aren't you? You think you can get away with all this? You will face the justice of the Navy and pay for all your crimes," she exclaimed angrily.

"If you knew this person, you wouldn't speak like that," Luffy commented. "After all, he works for Kaido." Luffy replied with the obvious, but looked one last time at the den den mushi that had a beauty mark below the mouth and smiled. "Goodbye, Vice-Admiral Gion." Luffy said and turned off the Den Den Mushi.

He wasn't interested in continuing to talk to that woman, despite thinking she was one of the most beautiful in the Navy.

"Anyway, let's deal with the lackeys now..." Luffy looked down at the ship on the island, while he had an idea. After all, his next target was Dressrosa and he didn't want to be carrying Monet and Caesar to the place. So, he would leave them there for a few days. He quickly moved to grab both his prisoners and headed towards the ship of the Donquixote family men.
