Surrender

"Impressive..." King watched the scene with a mix of awe and fascination. In a matter of minutes, the Fire Tank pirates had been effortlessly eliminated by Hashirama.

From start to finish, Lord Hashirama maintained a relaxed posture, showing not a hint of tension on his face. The ease with which he unleashed his power was terrifying, leaving King speechless.

The crimson laser fired from his eyes and the colossal wooden dragon, dozens of meters long, were proof of his power. Bege, a pirate feared by many, had no chance to defend himself, succumbing in seconds to Hashirama's fury.

'No doubt, I could also defeat Bege, but not with such ease and speed as Lord Hashirama,' King reflected on the power difference between them.

Meanwhile, Hashirama perceived the changes in his body with deep satisfaction. The natural energy he had absorbed had significantly strengthened him, elevating his power to unimaginable levels.

"System, show me my attributes!" With a firm voice, Hashirama invoked the properties panel.

Homelander Template [49% Unlocked]]

Examining his data, Hashirama's expression remained unchanged. While the Homelander template did not compare to the legendary power of Senju Hashirama, there was a fascinating aspect: all of Homelander's abilities had been enhanced upon merging with his body.

One example was the ability to amplify Hashirama's natural sensitivity. His super hearing allowed him to pick up sounds over great distances, even conversations kilometers away.

"Over time, I might even reach the same ability as Roger and Luffy." A smile appeared on Hashirama's face as he thought about the unlimited potential of his new power.

"Mm..?" However, while experimenting with the combination of his super hearing, perception, and Haki, Hashirama sensed something strange. A puzzled expression took over his face.

"A ship is approaching." King, still stunned by Hashirama's display of power, pointed toward the horizon where a small boat was heading towards the island.

Hashirama glanced at King, who still seemed shocked. In a firm voice, he said, "That's true."

King, as if waking from a trance, reacted quickly. "Lord Hashirama," he exclaimed, "it must be the Marines... Surely they're here for me."

"And this time they've sent Tokikake..." King added with a tone of resignation. Since his escape from Wano, he had been fleeing the constant pursuit of the Marines.

"Oh, I see..." Hashirama nodded in understanding. Walking slowly towards the beach, he said, "Alright, let's wait for the Marines to arrive."

"Yes!" King, feeling a mix of fear and resignation, nodded and followed Hashirama.

After about eight minutes, three black dots gradually emerged from the distant sea. At first, they were just tiny specks, but as they got closer, three warships could be clearly distinguished, one in the lead and the other two slightly behind on the sides.

At that moment, on the deck of the central warship, several marines were preparing and arming themselves.

Standing at the bow of the ship, a man with a dark hat and a high-collared marine coat held a telescope, scanning the distant sea. This man was Vice Admiral Tokikake.

When he spotted King with his characteristic wings standing on the shore of a deserted island, he couldn't help but smile in satisfaction. After so long, he had finally managed to find him.

Thinking about arresting King, a dangerous pirate with a bounty of over a billion Berries, Tokikake had a look of triumph on his weathered face.

After a few minutes, the three Marine warships stopped at sea more than 300 meters from the deserted island.

"King, surrender peacefully! You are surrounded," the Vice Admiral's voice was heard through a loudspeaker.
