One Piece: I Start with a Married Woman, I Am the Evil Admiral!

Chapter 63 You're just unlucky, Crocodile.

As time passed, the currents grew stronger and the light became increasingly dazzling. Eventually, all the currents converged, coalescing into a massive ball of lightning in the center of the dragon's claw.

As soon as the lightning ball took shape, the terrifying energy it contained could no longer be contained.

Thick currents of electricity began to spread wildly in all directions from the center of the lightning ball, like ferocious silver snakes dancing wildly in the air.

Even more astonishingly, these electric currents were interconnected and intertwined with the lightning in the thick clouds overhead, creating an extremely spectacular scene.

"Thunder Dragon!"

Aini's eyes widened, and he let out a deafening roar.

Immediately afterward, his arm muscles bulged, and with all his might, he hurled the two lightning balls, each crackling with dazzling lightning, from his hand. Like arrows released from a bow, these two lightning balls tore through the rain, hurtling straight towards Crocodile, who was still standing in the pouring downpour.

Just as the lightning ball flew out of his hand, an amazing scene unfolded—the two lightning balls seemed to be drawn together by an invisible force, rapidly converging and merging in the air, transforming in the blink of an eye into a much larger giant lightning ball.

At the same time, above the thick, gloomy clouds, a ferocious dragon head formed from raging lightning suddenly emerged. The dragon head was lifelike, exuding a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine, and its pair of lightning-filled eyes were firmly locked onto the lightning ball that was flying at high speed.

It was as if it weren't a ball of lightning, but rather its dragon ball.

"Rumble..."

With a deafening roar, the next second, the thunder dragon hidden in the clouds suddenly swung its thick, powerful tail, bringing with it a series of dazzling arcs of lightning. It burst out from the depths of the clouds at lightning speed, closely following the ball of lightning in front of it as it swooped down toward the ground.

"not good!"

Crocodile, standing below, turned deathly pale upon witnessing such a horrifying sight. His eyes widened in disbelief, revealing an unprecedented level of terror and solemnity.

At this moment, his heart was pounding wildly, as if it would burst out of his chest. He had only ever witnessed such devastating power from one other person: the legendary pirate who shook the world—Whitebeard Edward Newgate!

It's normal for Whitebeard to have that kind of imposing presence; he's the undisputed strongest man in the world.

But how can this guy in front of me have such power?

He's just a commodore, not even a rear admiral.

Why?

Moreover, judging from the battle just now, even with the added advantage of the Zoan-type Mythical Beast, it's impossible for it to be this strong.

After all, there's the age difference!

No matter how strong someone is, they can't be this ridiculously strong. Even Shanks, hailed as the greatest genius of the last century... didn't become one of the Four Emperors until he was 33.

Although Shanks, at age 33, ascended to the position of one of the Four Emperors, he still did not reach the level of being able to rival Whitebeard.

But why is this guy lying on the ground?

At this moment, he was in despair... He had lost his greatest reliance and was now facing the world's strongest attack.

"Rumble..."

The next second, the lightning ball slammed into him, followed closely by the lightning dragon, which devoured him instantly.

When everything returned to calm, the thunder disappeared, and the clouds in the sky dispersed.

A large crater appeared in the ground, and Crocodile lay in its center. He was in a terrible state, his entire body charred black, with sparks of electricity crackling from time to time.

Wisps of black smoke billowed from its wide-open mouth.

His eyes were unfocused, even turning grayish-white. If it weren't for the rise and fall of his chest, one might have thought he was dead.

"hehe..."

Aini sneered.

If he had delivered that attack elsewhere, it simply wouldn't have possessed such power; after all, his current strength is far from reaching that level.

However, he had the advantage of both timing and location.

For example, the area is shrouded in thick fog. Without this fog, with his rudimentary Devil Fruit ability, he simply couldn't create such a large cloud layer.

Without such a large cloud cover, such powerful thunder could not form.

If he moves to a different location, he can only unleash about 20-30% of his power.

Annie: "You're just unlucky!"

He then looked at Rena, Zoro, and Moria on the other side. At this moment, Moria had also fallen to the ground under the combined attack of the two.

.......

A day later, Enni looked at Crocodile, Gecko Moria, Absalom, and Perona, who were bound by Seastone, and was in a very good mood.

Even better, Vivi had already contacted Nefit D. Cobra through the Den Den Mushi in his hand.

Nefit D. Cobra: "Vivi and Icarus have told me everything. Since Vivi and Icarus have agreed to your request on behalf of the kingdom, we will definitely keep our word... I will send the two Devil Fruits directly to the East Blue."

Aini immediately understood what Kobra meant; he didn't want to be associated with him openly.

However, this is exactly what he wanted.

So he nodded: "Okay..."

Then, considering the reward he had promised Vivi and Icarus, the two Devil Fruits were merely a bonus. The real focus was now on.

There was a long silence on the other end.

He then said, "To obtain the power of a Devil Fruit user, one only needs to plunge a knife into the user's heart, letting the blood splatter onto a fruit. That fruit will immediately transform into a new Devil Fruit... The guardians of my kingdom all pass on their Devil Fruits by themselves as they grow old."

He paused for a moment, then added, "I've told you about this method, but I suggest you use it with caution."

Upon hearing this, Aini immediately understood what he meant: "Don't worry... I'm not stupid!"

If he kills one of these ability users, he'll immediately gain another one as a subordinate. This will quickly attract the attention of the Five Elders and Sengoku.

After all, these guys are all incredibly shrewd.

If he's exposed, Kobra might also be exposed. This is not what Kobra wants...

Kobra: "That Vivi and Icarus...."

The words weren't finished, but the meaning couldn't be clearer: the payment had already been made, shouldn't they be sent back?

So before he could finish speaking, Aini said directly, "Don't worry, I'll personally take them back."

Cobra shook his head: "You've made too much of a commotion, getting two Shichibukai at once. Crocodile is out of the question. I'll take this directly to the higher-ups, and maybe you can even get promoted."

But Gecko Moria didn't break his alliance with the World Government and the Navy, yet you still killed him... To give the other Shichibukai an explanation, you'll probably have to go back the way you came.

So this trip to the Holy Land will probably have to be canceled halfway. I think either the Holy Land or the Navy will send someone to make contact with you.”

Aini smirked. What could he hand over? Naturally, it was Pelé!

They won't let us go to the Holy Land, but they still want Pele.

That's fucking black.....
