Chapter 93: Larvin Chased by Kizaru

"Did you just say the Navy Petty Officer… is him?"

Sabaody Archipelago, District 27, Central Park.

Watching Vivian, who was darting around like a monkey, slashing and then running, making the Supernovas chase him in circles, Smoker took a deep drag on his cigar, looking very displeased.

"That guy…"

Indeed, who else but him could single-handedly take on six Supernovas?

Images of Vivian fighting Doflamingo in Dressrosa flashed through his mind.

"His uniform is still the same. Even though he's been demoted back to Petty Officer, he's still wearing the Chief Petty Officer's uniform…"

Shaking his head.

A soldier standing nearby asked, "Should we go help, Captain Smoker?"

"Help, of course, we should help."

Smoker blew out a smoke ring, squinting his eyes, "But we can wait a bit longer."

"Wait?" Kuto and Tashigi looked at Smoker.

"Yes. I want to see just how strong this kid has become…"

Being able to single-handedly fight six Supernovas with bounties over a hundred million, and still be unscathed by the time they arrived, even taking down the one with the highest bounty…

Looking at Eustass Kid lying on the ground, his body charred, Smoker's furrowed brows suddenly relaxed.

"It seems the Navy has another candidate for Admiral," he thought.

At the same time.

"Damn it…" After successfully dodging Urouge's heavy blow, Vivian wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling a bit exhausted.

"Where's Smoker?"

"Why isn't he here yet?"

Could he be lost like Zoro?

Thinking this, Vivian's legs moved even faster. Just as he was hesitating whether to run away, two options suddenly appeared.

[Option 1: Fight the remaining five Supernovas with all your might until you are exhausted. (Reward: Full set of Navy Six Styles)]

[Option 2: Run away immediately. (Reward: Random attribute +1)]

"Run away?"

I can run away?

Seeing the options, Vivian was momentarily stunned. Then, as if realizing something, he quickly scanned the nearby buildings. Sure enough, he spotted Smoker and his troops hiding behind a tall building at a corner.

That damn Smoker, hiding and watching the show while I'm being chased by these Supernovas?

Twitching his mouth in anger, Vivian turned and sprinted towards Smoker's location.

"Hmm?" From a distance, Smoker, who was only showing his eyes, was momentarily stunned.

He was discovered?

Could it be… that kid has awakened Observation Haki?

Smoker's eyes narrowed sharply.

It seems I need to work harder…

"It's time to step out of my comfort zone." He was muttering to himself.

The next moment, Urouge and Apoo, who were chasing Vivian, turned the corner and immediately locked eyes with the Marines.

The two were instantly stunned.

The air suddenly became silent.

About ten seconds later.

"Capture them!"

Kuto shouted, and the Marines immediately raised their flintlock rifles, aiming at Urouge and Apoo.

"Don't move!"

Swish—Swish—!

Both raised their hands simultaneously.

Meanwhile, Vivian, who had just passed by Smoker, had already run far away, disappearing from sight.

…

District 12.

Sentomaru, leading the Pacifistas PX-1 and PX-4, successfully reunited with Kizaru. The battle was about to reach its climax. According to the original storyline, Bartholomew Kuma would soon appear and use his Devil Fruit ability to send Luffy and his crew flying to different parts of the world, reuniting two years later.

However, there was a small change in the current situation…

Besides the Straw Hat crew being chased by Kizaru, there was now another person, Loget Larvin.

"I'm doomed, I'm doomed, I'm doomed!"

Larvin ran as fast as a cheetah. Despite being known for his marksmanship after going to sea, his speed in escaping was equally impressive.

After all, when hunting in the mountains as a child, besides having excellent marksmanship, if he couldn't run fast enough when encountering fierce prey, he would have become a meal for the monsters long ago.

After a wild run, he looked back at the now empty plain and smugly scratched his nose, "Hah, chasing me? Do you even know who I am? I'm the pirate sharpshooter who dared to shoot at the Celestial Dragons. A mere Navy Admiral thinks he can catch me…"

"What did you say?" A voice came from behind.

His expression froze, and he instinctively turned to see the sleazy old man in a yellow suit standing behind him.

"You… you you you?!" Larvin was stunned, his mouth wide enough to fit a soccer ball.

"Wow, how scary, daring to shoot at the Celestial Dragons…" Kizaru pouted.

Larvin: "…"

"No, I didn't shoot anyone. I just fired a shot. How could I have killed anyone?" Larvin retorted after coming to his senses.

"Oh? Saint Rosward was just declared dead at the hospital in District 22, the cause of death being a bullet through the heart. Most of the auction house guests saw it."

"Dead?" Larvin was stunned.

He hadn't even hit him with that shot, how could he be dead?

And… who is Saint Rosward?

He remembered the person he shot at was called Saint Charlos by his bodyguards.

So he thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it possible that I didn't shoot Saint Rosward?"

"Wow, you were shouting about killing all the Celestial Dragons when you fired. Why are you suddenly chickening out? This really lowers your image among the pirates," Kizaru continued to pout.

Larvin fell silent, feeling like he had been set up again, but had no evidence.

What to do?

Was he going to take the blame again?

He became extremely anxious.

Meanwhile, Kizaru raised his right leg, gathering light on his calf, and smiled at Larvin, "Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"

As he finished speaking…

Boom!

Larvin didn't even have time to react before Kizaru's kick sent him flying like a broken kite. After crashing through several trees, he finally landed in a patch of grass.

Dust rose into the air.

Kizaru was about to move forward to arrest Larvin when he saw Vivian, who had just escaped from the Supernovas, appearing in his sight again from a distance.
