I, Broly, began by destroying the pirate world.

9 Hahaha, without Morton, I'm invincible!

"what?"

The naval captain standing at the very front suddenly contracted his pupils, and his jaw dropped dramatically, almost to the ground.

The soldiers around them, who had just been so frightened that their legs went weak and they almost fainted, stood there dumbfounded and incredulous.

Broly frowned slightly and repeated, "Contact your headquarters and change the name on my bounty poster."

Broly couldn't think of a suitable nickname right away, so he said, "Just write Broly, use my own name."

Smoker, who was following behind Broly, was slightly taken aback when he heard this. At that moment, he realized that he did not know the other person's name.

The naval captain was still in shock, his mind replaying: So... he broke into the base just to change the name on the bounty poster.

Although this colonel was of average strength, he had served in the navy for more than 20 years and had dealt with countless pirate incidents, but he had never encountered anything so unbelievable!

Seeing that he hadn't made a move, Broly grew increasingly impatient. "Don't make me say it a third time."

The colonel snapped back to reality and stammered, "I... I'm just a colonel, I don't have the authority to contact headquarters directly... I can only contact the branch on the Grand Line first, and then the branch will relay the message upwards... It will probably take more than a week to get the message to headquarters."

He knew in his heart that agreeing to the devil named Broly's request was the best course of action at this moment.

But given his mere rank of colonel, he had no right to speak directly with Marineford.

Broly paused slightly, then turned to look at Smoker behind him, whose expression was complex.

It has become clear that although the future Smoker was only a colonel when he first appeared, he was able to contact headquarters directly.

The reason for this is simply that Smoker, as a Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit user, is more than capable of serving as a Major General, but he was probably demoted to the East Blue because of his upright personality.

Ordinary colonels do not have this privilege.

After a moment's thought, Brollillo asked, "How long does it take to get from here to Marineford?"

The colonel had clearly not expected Broly's problem to be so far-fetched, but dared not conceal anything. "If we do not make too many stops along the way and the weather is stable, we can arrive in about fifteen to twenty days."

Broly nodded, his tone still calm: "Alright, prepare the warships, I'll go talk to them."

Upon hearing this, the marines present were once again stunned—in order to change the name of the bounty, a pirate was actually going to Marineford alone. Was there something wrong with their ears, or had the world gone mad?

"Bulu, bulu, bulu—"

Just then, the colonel received a phone call in his pocket.

Broly raised an eyebrow, gesturing for him to answer the call.

The colonel reluctantly took out the Den Den Mushi and pressed the answer button.

The Den Den Mushi, which had been keeping its eyes closed, suddenly opened them and mimicked the serious expression of the caller, saying, "Hello, it's me, Lieutenant General Doberman."

The colonel replied in a trembling voice, "Lieutenant General Doberman, what are your orders?"

Doberman's voice came through the Den Den Mushi, carrying the sharp edge characteristic of a hawkish general: "We're on our way to the East Blue. We'll be selecting talented new recruits to go to the Naval Academy at Headquarters to receive guidance from Instructor Zephyr. Have you found any promising new recruits in your jurisdiction?"

Broly then interjected, "Let him come over."

The colonel dared not disobey and could only hurriedly reply, "Yes, yes, lieutenant general, yes."

On a warship sailing on the Grand Line towards the East Blue, Doberman nodded upon hearing this, then remembered something and asked, "By the way, is the Demon Child still in Loguetown?"

When he said this, Doberman's tone still carried a hint of fear.

The colonel glanced furtively at Broly, who raised his hand in a gesture of acknowledgment. He swallowed hard, suppressing the panic in his voice, and replied, "He...he left yesterday."

Upon hearing this, Doberman breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though he was a well-known hawk in the Navy, adhering to absolute justice by wiping out all pirates, he was unwilling to confront that monster directly.

After hanging up the call, Doberman was in high spirits and shouted to his men, "Full speed ahead! Head to the East China Sea!"

Upon learning that Broly had left, the morale of the thousand soldiers on the ship soared. They had been terrified when they received orders to go to the East Blue to recruit people, since they all knew that the Demon Child was in Loguetown in the East Blue.

After the call ended, Broly turned and left the naval base, leaving hundreds of naval soldiers and the colonel slumped to the ground, utterly exhausted.

After a long pause, the colonel murmured, "I...I thought I was going to die here."

The adjutant beside him, drenched in sweat and still shaken, asked in a low voice, "Colonel, is that monster really heading to headquarters? For something so trivial?"

The colonel quickly covered the adjutant's mouth, lowering his voice to say, "Idiot, are you out of your mind? Do you want him to hear you?"

The scene fell silent instantly; everyone held their breath, fearing that Broly might return.

Half an hour later, after confirming that Broly had gone far away, the colonel finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Let him do whatever he wants. An opponent of this caliber is far beyond our ability to contend with. If he really tries to storm headquarters, we still have at least a general-level fighter to deal with him."

But as soon as he finished speaking, the colonel felt something was wrong. After all, hadn't Sengoku, who was also a general, been killed in an instant just two days ago?

……

Broly had been waiting at the harbor in Loguetown for three days, patiently awaiting the arrival of Doberman's warships.

Because he had been stationed here for the past three days, many young pirates who were influenced by Roger's last words and wanted to go to sea to become pirates did not dare to make any rash moves, for fear of being targeted by Broly.

"Doberman..."

Broly sat on the dock muttering to himself, and after a moment he finally remembered—this man was a naval hawk and a follower of Akainu.

The reason he remembered Doberman was because of the future Battle of Egghead Island.

One of the Spider Elders unleashed a deadly glare, leaving Doberman in a state of uncertainty about his fate.

Thinking of this, Broly's lips curled up slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile: "I thought I was so awesome when I transformed, but all I did was kill an ordinary soldier and severely injure a lieutenant general."

When I was young in my past life, I read comics and always thought that the five elders who always held closed-door meetings were incredibly powerful. But in the end, I found out that they were all fucking idiots.

From the moment he made his move until he was killed by Im, he killed two of his own people, and one of them might not even be dead yet.

This reminded Broly of the Konoha Elders F4 from the Naruto world, who were also subservient to outsiders but ruthless to their own people.

"All stupid leaders are the same."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow appeared on the opposite horizon and continued to grow larger.

He stared intently at the large warship—its sails were painted with the navy's iconic gull, with the word "marine" printed below, and the word "justice" prominently displayed on the other sail.

Upon seeing this, Broly chuckled again.

On the deck of this warship, which could hold a thousand people, Doberman sat in a chair, wiping his sword with an alcohol swab, a smug look on his face. He said, "Hahaha, with Demon Child gone, I am invincible!"

When he first received this mission, he was trembling with fear. Everyone knew that the Demon Child was in Loguetown in the East Sea.

Now, he received a report from his subordinates that the demon child had left, and he went wild on the spot.

At that moment, a soldier standing on the lookout tower on the mast spotted Broly and cried out in alarm, "Lieutenant General! It's that devil! The Demon Child is there!"

Doberman, who was wiping his sword, suddenly jerked his hand, and the sword fell to the ground with a clatter.

The next second, Doberman didn't bother to pick up his sword. He rushed to the bow of the ship and looked up to see Broly sitting cross-legged on the dock, looking right into his eyes.

Doberman was so shocked he made a meme-worthy face. "What happened? Didn't they say he was already gone?!"

But the surrounding navy was already terrified and no one answered his question.

Immediately afterwards, Broly vanished as if he had never been there.

The next second, a child's voice came from behind the group: "Take me to Marineford."

The sailors turned around abruptly, nearly snapping their necks.

Broly was sitting with his legs crossed in the chair that Doberman had just been in, leisurely basking in the sunlight.

All the navy personnel were sweating profusely.

How did he get up here? I didn't see him at all.
