one piece: gene extraction and fusion system-Chapter 315: Shadows of the World Government

On the sea.

The Black Glory was heading toward Gavro Island.

The sea was turbulent, and waves pounded relentlessly.

At this time, on the deck, Mio was holding a Den Den Mushi in his hand, contacting one of his subordinates.

"Give the order. A group of people should head to the territories of Saya and Pokken to keep watch. Once things wrap up on Gavro Island, take their land immediately. Don't let anyone else snatch it first," Mio said indifferently.

"Understood, boss." A respectful voice replied through the Den Den Mushi. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

After Mio responded, the Den Den Mushi call ended.

Suddenly—

Mio's eyes narrowed slightly, turning to gaze in one direction. It was toward an island on the sea—small, uninhabited, and quiet.

On the shore, two figures in white coats and masks stood silently. The wind stirred the edges of their cloaks as if they had been waiting.

"CP0? They came for me?" Mio muttered, his eyes flickering with interest. "Stop the ship."

The Black Glory came to a halt.

Standing beside him, Bai Feng looked at the island with a frown. "They're very strong, sir. Do you want us to eliminate them?"

"Bring us closer," Mio shook his head and ordered, his mind turning.

Those two figures were clearly from the CP organization, and it was obvious they had come for the Black Crow. But oddly, Mio couldn't sense any killing intent from them, which made their purpose unclear.

Still, their strength was undeniable.

Judging by aura alone, they weren't any weaker than Pokken or Saya.

The Black Glory slowly turned and approached the island.

The two figures remained unmoved.

As the ship neared the shore, Mio stood at the bow and looked down at them. His voice was calm but sharp. "You came for me?"

"Black Crow," one CP0 agent said in a raspy, cold voice. "Three days ago, at Big Mom's tea party, you saw something you weren't supposed to see."

"We've been ordered by the World Government to eliminate you," the second figure said coldly.

Upon hearing this—

Mio suddenly understood. "So this is about Stussy?"

"But..."

He sneered and shook his head. "Those five old men are getting bold, aren't they? They think they can kill me without mobilizing all of CP0? They've sat on that throne too long—must be getting senile."

"Insulting the World Government is punishable by death," the burly CP0 agent growled. He took a step forward and shot toward Mio like a bullet.

His speed was tremendous—ordinary people wouldn't even be able to see him clearly. In just a breath, he was already in front of Mio, throwing a devastating punch, the wind howling with the momentum.

But before Mio could even lift a hand—

A figure moved in front of him.

A powerful punch met the agent head-on.

"Those who want to harm the sir... must die!" a cold voice rang out.

It was Noah.

The fists collided with explosive force. Shockwaves burst forth, churning the sea even more violently.

Noah hadn't held anything back.

The CP0 agent's bones cracked audibly. The next moment, his body shot backward like a cannonball, slamming into the island.

BOOM—!

The entire island trembled slightly.

Seeing this, the eyes of the remaining CP0 agent narrowed sharply behind his mask in shock.

But then—

He turned and leapt backward.

Whoosh!

A sword beam flew past where his neck had been just a moment ago. If he had retreated even a second slower, he would have been beheaded.

Asuka held the Seven Star Sword, licking his lips with a twisted grin. "Try not to die too fast. I want to have some fun..."

His voice hadn't even faded—

CRACK!

The air split as Asuka vanished and appeared in front of the CP0 member, slashing down with the Seven Star Sword. A dark blue, eerie light burst from the blade, exuding a sinister presence.

The CP0 agent's instincts screamed. He twisted his body midair to dodge.

But then—

The sword's glow flared violently. The blade extended and twisted like a snake, suddenly piercing into the agent's abdomen.

Blood splattered instantly.

The Seven Star Sword drank greedily, absorbing the blood. The dark blue hue transformed into a glowing crimson.

Asuka's pale eyes lit up with madness as he licked his lips again. "Don't die yet. The real fun hasn't even started."

With a wave of his left hand, another Seven Star Sword appeared in his grip.

Now dual-wielding—

Asuka unleashed a frenzied barrage of slashes.

The CP0 agent retreated without hesitation, keeping his distance.

Then, he exhaled deeply—

Whoosh!

He disappeared.

Mio's eyes gleamed. "He tripled his speed... A pure speed burst—could it be the Super Speed Fruit?"

The Paramecia-type Speed-Speed Fruit—the ability to increase the velocity of any moving object, including the user's own body.

In just a breath—

The agent appeared behind Asuka, fist wrapped in Armament Haki, slamming it down toward Asuka's head.

Watching this, Mio exhaled and sat cross-legged on the deck.

Hei Yan gave a sympathetic glance and muttered. "This guy... is going to die miserably."

"Sister Asuka's going into berserk mode again..." Mashi added, munching on fruit.

Bang!

The CP0 agent's fist landed squarely on Asuka's back. Blood sprayed from Asuka's mouth.

But what followed was horrifying.

Two arms suddenly extended from Asuka's ribs—each holding a Seven Star Sword. Without hesitation, they thrust the blades backward.

The CP0 agent's eyes widened as the blades pierced into his abdomen.

Again, the Seven Star Swords absorbed the blood like hungry beasts.

And the next second—

Asuka, who had just been spitting blood and looked like he might collapse, suddenly stood up straight.

Fully recovered.
