Major General Kadaru was also dumbfounded when he saw Zefa abandoning them and rushing directly to Red Leaf Island.
The ship hasn't docked yet, but as the top commander on the ship, he has already run away. What the hell?
The opponents are just a group of little-known pirates, does it need the Navy's general to personally take action?
"Immediately sail the warship to the port of Hongye Island, and then go to other warships to convey the order just given by Admiral Zefa."
Looking at the retreating figure of General Zefa, Kadaru was also quite helpless. If General Zefa had left, then he could only be left to take command.
After all, apart from the generals, he is the only major general with the highest rank here.
A pirate with a bounty of 20 million berries is nothing in Kadaru's eyes, but don't forget that at least 80% of their three warships are ordinary people who have received any training.
General Zefa is now on the island. If anything goes wrong with these new recruits, won't he have to take the blame again?
As for Hongye Island, Wood was holding a sword in both hands at the moment, and the blade was still dripping with blood. Around his body, there were also members of the Iron Arm Pirates who seemed to have lost their breath.
At a rough count, there are about twenty or thirty people, and this accounts for almost half of the entire Iron Arm Pirates.
And after killing so many pirates, Wood himself was not unharmed. At this moment, he had numerous large and small wounds on his body, and even his entire left arm was completely drooped.
The bones in his left arm have obviously been completely broken. Although such an injury basically does not take a few days to be active again in the pirate world, it does affect Wood's ability to perform at the moment.
Holding the long knife in his right hand, Wood flicked it hard to shake off all the blood on the knife to prevent the blood from flowing to the handle and causing his fingers to slip.
Looking at Wood swinging the knife, the iron-armed Cook standing not far away from him had an expression full of anger at this moment, and he wanted to eat Wood alive on the spot.
Compared with Wood, who had his left arm hanging down, Cook's current situation is not much better. The long battle has consumed most of his physical strength.
There was a shocking stab wound on his right eye, which not only directly affected his fighting ability, but also caused his physical condition to become increasingly weak due to the huge amount of bleeding.
However, compared to the pain in his right eye, Cook's hatred for Wood now outweighs it.
I remember when their "Iron Arm Pirates" set sail from the South China Sea with dreams in mind, the pirate group also grew stronger all the way, and they originally planned to enter the new world.
But I didn't expect that I had just entered the first half of the Grand Route, and on such a small island, I was almost wiped out by a brat with no hair on it!
"You killed so many people in our pirate group, I won't let you die so easily, kid!
You might think that since my right eye is injured and my physical strength is almost exhausted, I have no fighting ability.
But you are not the only one who knows how to have reservations. There is also this taboo power in this sea. Let me show you today."
Looking at the residents of Hongye Island who were still fighting against the Iron Arm Pirates on the other side, Wood originally planned to fight quickly.
The people on Hongye Island spontaneously formed a team to assist them after seeing that they were injured.
But how could ordinary residents armed with rakes and axes be the opponents of pirates with blood on their hands?
Although the number of people on Hongye Island was many times that of the Iron Arm Pirates, a large number of casualties occurred as soon as the collision occurred.
Originally, Wood wanted to end the battle here as soon as possible and then go there to provide support to reduce the casualties among the residents of Red Leaf Island.
However, Iron-Armed Cook's words made Wood instantly look solemn, because it was not difficult to tell from Cook's words that the other party had other back-ups.
"The forbidden power on the sea, could it be said that..."
As if to verify what Wood had guessed, Iron Arm Cook's body began to change at this moment.
The skin that should have belonged to normal humans actually started to grow some fuzz, and Cook, who was already quite tall, now seems to have been on hormones and has grown a lot taller again in a short period of time.
The originally angular muscles were gradually covered with short velvet, but Cook's arms and thighs became unusually thick after a period of changes.
The mohawk hairstyle remains unchanged, but the face that was originally extremely rough has now transformed into an animal that beats and walks on two legs.
Wood had seen this animal in his previous life, and it turned out to be the so-called "kangaroo"!
"Tsk, are you a user with animal devil fruit abilities..."
Cook showed off his Devil Fruit with a proud look on his face. He originally wanted to brag as usual, but he didn't expect that Wood knew about "Devil Fruit" and accurately told the type of his fruit.
"Yes, there is a forbidden power in the sea, and those who take Devil Fruit will also become abandoned by the sea.
The devil fruit I ate was the animal-type rat fruit in kangaroo form.
Animal-type Devil Fruits can largely increase the physical fitness of ability users, and kangaroos are animals that are already quite good at boxing. Do you know what this means?"
Wood knew about Devil Fruit, and Cook was not too surprised. After all, this was already the first half of the Grand Line.
Different from the backward Sihai, the people of the Grand Line are naturally more knowledgeable. They will not be surprised when they see the so-called ability users like the people of Sihai.
Animal-type Devil Fruits normally have three forms: normal form, half-human and half-animal form, and fully animal form.
Iron-Arm Cook is just a rookie pirate with 20 million berries, and Wood doesn't think that his Devil Fruit ability can be developed to a very strong level.
However, what has to be said is that the situation that was already complicated by the flying dragon has now become confusing again because of the sudden exposure of the identity of the ability user.
Cook, who transformed into a half-human, half-kangaroo form, jumped up and flew in front of Wood. His muscular arms drove his armored fists, punching through the air and swinging towards Wood's head.
"boom------!"
The huge fist shattered the ground, and several strands of Wood's black hair flew up, but his man had already appeared a few steps away, looking at the ground covered with cobwebs and cracks, with a look of lingering fear on his face.
color.
After Cook uses the Devil Fruit's ability, both his jumping power and the power of his fists are not even a bit stronger than before!
"Tsk, my physical strength has actually been exhausted to this extent. If it were at its peak at the beginning, that punch just now would definitely make your head explode!"
Looking at the deep pit caused by the gauntlet on the ground, Cook showed dissatisfaction.
In the previous state, I punched out with all my strength, but it directly penetrated a small navy warship.
